Obsessive, Too Obsessive
Chapter One
She Appears

GxNxExMgirl: Hey, Sokka, I've got meat!

SockMan: Where?!

GxNxExMgirl: Hah! I got you to read this. I knew you would at the mention of meat. I was right, as you're reading this at the moment.

I have a request for you. I have been stalking - in a sense - you and your friends' vacation the past three months. Looks like all you've been doing is going to the beach and hanging out; like you do every summer. Don't you think it's time for some change, time for something actually fun? Well, I've got the solution.

It's the last week of summer before school starts again, am I right? How about going to the mall this Tuesday, and we'll go over the details, okay?

SockMan: I admit, you got me, but there's no way I'm going to meet you, whoever you are, at the mall. Why should I, I don't even know you!

GxNxExMgirl: Oh, but I know you. Yes, it's supposed to sound like I'm a stalker.

I assure you, there's something in it for you.

SockMan: Like what?

GxNxExMgirl: Like everything you've ever dreamed of! And yes, I'm over-exaggerating.

JUST DO IT OKAY?! -foams- Or I swear I'll stalk you even more so than I already am.

SockMan: ... What makes you think I'm afraid of you?

GxNxExMgirl: Because I know your deepest darkest secrets, and I really don't mind if the whole world laughs at you.

For example; I know you have a stuffed saber tooth moose-lion cub in the back of your closet, and it's your most prized possesion (except for your boomerang), and the last time you held it close was when you stubbed you toe a few years back - April 17, 2004. I'll tell everyone your a big crybaby.

SockMan: You really are a stalker.

But, I'll do it. Tuesday, mall, see you there.

GxNxExMgirl: Excellent. MWUAHAHA.

: : : :

Sure enough, Sokka had convinced his friends to join him to the mall that Tuesday evening. Five teenagers strolled through the entranceway and into the sea of shopping bags. Each one of them - save for Sokka - looked annoyed.

"Why in the world would you drag us here, Sokka?" Katara questioned, rubbing her temples.

"And at this hour! The mall's gonna close in like a half hour," Aang agreed.

"I told you guys," Sokka replied, "I need your help."

"With what? It's summer, there's nothing to help with!" Zuko simmered at the edge of the group.

"She said it would be worth it! There's something in it for us!"

"Who exactly is she, Meathead?" Toph growled.

"I - I don't know" - at this, everyone slapped their foreheads - "but she's stalking us! And I don't know about you guys, but I don't feel comfortable having some random girl watching me every moment of every day!"

"How do you know she's not lying?"

"She's blackmailing me."

"By...?"

"I can't tell you! It would defeat the purpose," Sokka explained. "It'll only take a little while, I promise."

His promise would go unkept, seeing as they sulked around the mall for the remaining half hour.

"I hate you," they all said at one point.

The teen hung his head. "I don't understand! Something shoulda've happened! She shoulda've said something!"

"She," Zuko started with clenched teeth, "is some random girl who IMed you at a random time for no apparent RANDOM reason."

"Well, when you say it like that!"

"I am saying it like that!"

"Nyah, nyah. I'm a bad boy, I have a scar to prove it, so that makes me a bad boy."

"... You're not funny."

"I wasn't trying to be!"

"Sure, you weren't"

"GUYS, SHADUP!" Katara yelled, sipping her Starbucks Tea. "Sokka, the mall's closing. If this girl was serious she would have showed up or whatever it is she was planning to do by now. I think we should just go home and - "

"The mall is now closing, please take your belongings and leave the building," speakers bellowed.

"Let's go," Aang said, heading for the exit.

At that moment, an ominous voice boomed from the intercom, "Oh, no, not you guys."

The five looked around, confused. They shrugged it off and started to walk again. However, the exits already started to close and lock. They started to run, but, as previously planned, it was too late.

Toph banged on the metal bars, "Nice job, Ponytail. The doors're locked! We're stuck here!"

"You can't blame me for that!" Sokka protested.

"It's your fault we came here in the first place!" Zuko looked like he needed to express his anger in more than just yelling.

"Is not! That girl said so!"

"She doesn't decide what you can or can't do," Katara reasoned.

"Actually, yes I can."

The group swirled around to find... a girl. She had the weirdest smiled on her face - it was huge, like her cheeks hurt from the wideness - and she held a paper in her hands.

"Who're you?"

"Me? I'm your worst nightmare," she cackled.
