The Causeway, Early Monday Morning

[sarcasm_guy]

So... Sokka had spent an extra night on the island, over what he had planned, and that was good. NOT so good had been being literally DRAGGED out of bed this morning by a grumpy foxy Knowledge Spirit

Rikku was wandering the island to give it one last look-over, which sounded really maudlin, yes, but at least it meant she was near the Causeway when --

"Ponytail!"

He was getting a rib-crushing hug. He knew that, right?

[sarcasm_guy]

Of COURSE he was. And he was going to hug her right back.

"Orangey! Hey. So... this is pretty much it for me."

[the_merriest]

"Nooooooooooo," Rikku corrected him with a bit of a nudge. "You'll be back for Homecoming and you'll write me a lot, so this is just good-bye for now. Got it, Ponytail?"

[sarcasm_guy]

"Right, yeah, that's what I meant. ...I don't know about writing a LOT. I'm not good with writing. But I'll see you at Homecoming!"

Marco was heading in the opposite way on the Causeway when he spotted Sokka. "You!"

[sarcasm_guy]

"Vending machine! Don't look so surprised."

[morpherboy]

"You're leaving!" Marco summarized. "And I haven't been a vending machine in like...a year now."

[sarcasm_guy]

"I graduated," Sokka answered with a sad little sigh. "People do that."

The fox spirit yapped again.

"...And I've got a world to go save."

And there was Jamie. Looking out onto the causeway. One that he would be crossing later today.

"So. This is it. Isn't it?" he asked. Wistfully.

[sarcasm_guy]

"A-yup," Sokka told him. "The end of an era. It's been good."

[multi_madrox]

"Good," Jamie agreed. "For some."

[sarcasm_guy]

"It hasn't been good for you?" Sokka asked. "Not with all your friends and Stickbugs and ninjas?"

Dean was up unusually early and out getting coffee in preparation for taking Alice on a birthday field trip when he spotted Sokka at the causeway.

"Hey, dude," he said, wandering over. "You were going to leave without saying bye to your big brother?"

[sarcasm_guy]

Sokka spun around. "OH! I... Uh. Sorry. I haven't gotten to say goodbye to everyone I wanted to, and now the yappy fox says I have to go."

He held out a hand for Dean to shake. "Good speech, by the way. And good luck with everything, and thanks for showing me around and stuff."

[saltandammo]

Dean shook his hand. "If I'd known you were leaving already, I would've got you something as a going away gift." He looked down at what he was holding. "Coffee?" he asked, offering the cup.

[sarcasm_guy]

Sokka looked down at the coffee, then up at Dean. "You DRANK out of that, didn't you?"
