Author's Note: Okay, this was inspired by snickerdoodle12. Her stories are great, you should definitely check them out! I found out about "ShuffleShots" from her fic, and I decided to make one (no, I was not tagged, but I really don't care). Basically, you put your Ipod or MP3 Player on shuffle and make drabbles for each of the first ten songs that come on. You only have until the song is over to write it, though.
Also, it's amazing! I'm writing something that isn't Kodocha! And doesn't have multiple chapters! Yeah… That's mostly because I'm having a really bad writer's block and can't really work on my Kodocha stories right now, but also just because it looked fun. So, here it goes! By the way, the couples are Tokka, Kataang, and Maiko… Especially Tokka, because I'm obsessed with that pairing for some unknown reason, lol. There's also a tiny bit of Sukka, or possibly anti-Sukka, depending on how you look at it. They aren't really in any specific order, and most of them are just random stories that would probably never happen in the show.
They're all in first person, so I figured I should tell you who's point of view each one is from (a lot are Toph, lol):
1. Toph
2. Toph
3. Mai
4. Aang
5. Aang
6. Toph
7. Toph
8. Toph
9. Aang
10. Mai

"The Boy is Mine" by Brandy
I stood angrily in front of Suki. I could feel her heart speed up as I got her mad.
"He's my boyfriend!" she yelled. Tears of anger were close to spilling from my eyes. I knew it was true, but I was sure that I loved Sokka more than she did.
"No! He's mine! I've been with him through everything, and where were you? Traveling around the world? Did you even try to find him during all of that?" Even though I knew she would always win him, I wasn't about to give up.
"As a matter of fact, I did! And during most of that time, I was actually in a Fire Nation prison! I couldn't exactly see him there, now could I?" Suki retorted.
"But you can't have him! I… I love him," I said, finally letting the tears fall and collapsing to my knees.
Of course, the boy in question had to walk in just then. He finally ran to kneel by me and hugged me. I guess I was wrong. I won.

"My World" by Avril Lavigne
As usual, I was daydreaming. Not really about anything in specific, just daydreaming. I guess that would be more like spacing out, huh?
Well, anyways, somehow, I ended up thinking about how I am now compared to how I used to be. I used to be "Ms. Bei Fong," the hidden, soft spoken little girl of the rich family. Now I'm just me, Toph. I can be myself around all of my new friends. I've never worn any makeup (except for that day at the spa with Katara), and now I could fight and earthbend freely, too.
Then, I started actually daydreaming. Mostly about Sokka. Yeah, I was falling. Hard. He was always there for me, if only as a friend. In my dreams, at least, I could be with him. Hopefully, one day, they would become real.

"Who's Cryin' Now" by Saving Jane
Zuko had left me. Just left, with nothing but a letter to tell me what was going on or to remember him by. I kept waiting for some sort of news from him. I waited for days, weeks, I don't know. Maybe it was even months. I completely lost track of how much time had passed since he was gone.
I spent so long crying, wishing he would come back. I wasn't the type to cry, and this was one of the few times in my life that I ever had. But now it was over. I wasn't going to cry anymore, and I wouldn't sit by the window and wait for another letter. I was going to live my life again.
What would he think when he did come back?
I told myself that I was over him, but I knew I would keep waiting, even if I didn't seem like I was. I could fool everyone else, but not myself.

"Dance, Dance" by Fall Out Boy
Katara and I circled, standing in our fighting stances. We were by the water, practicing water bending. Suddenly, she struck out towards me, sending a water whip my way. I dodged, sending another attack back at her.
We continued our "dance" of a fight, and although we looked like we serious, we both knew that we wouldn't actually try to hurt each other.
I wished that I could stay with her forever. Katara was beautiful, and even more so when water bending.
How could I ever tell her that I loved her? I tried to find the words, but nothing came. I guess I'll just have to keep living in my half-heaven, half-hell for now.

"Extraordinary Girl" by Green Day
She cries when she thinks nobody sees her. I can tell that she's broken inside from all of her losses. First her mom died, and now her father had been captured by the Fire Nation.
Katara doesn't even realize how strong she is, how amazing. Sometimes I felt so bad for not going to her when she was crying that I wanted to die. But I knew that she doesn't want anyone to see her.
During the day, she pretends to be fine, but at night, she breaks. Everyone else is asleep, and I pretend to sleep, but I can still hear her small sniffs and muffled sobs. I just wish I could make her feel better. But I know she'll make it through.
Because she's an extraordinary girl.

"Head Over Feet" by Alanis Morissette
I never expected to fall in love with him. And I definitely didn't want to. The few people who knew I existed used to treat me like a princess, and I hated every second of it. But in the rare moments that Sokka treated me like that, I loved it.
I may act like I don't care, but he really is amazing. He's so brave. He led us into battle with barely a second thought, and I'm sure he's saved my life as many times as I've saved his. He protects all of us. He's so strong, even though he doesn't realize it.
Not only is he a great warrior, but he's also a great friend. He listens to everything I have to say and helps me through it, like that time when Katara and I were fighting.
I can't believe I never noticed it before, but yeah, I'm falling head over heels for him. But I'll blame him until the very end. It's all his fault. Well, hey, it's true, isn't it?

"Stand in the Rain" by Superchick
I turned away from the couple across from me that was currently making out. It's not like I could see them, but that's not why I turned away. I turned because of the small chance that one of them would see me start crying.
I never let anyone see me crying, but part of me wished he would notice. I wish someone would save me from myself. Usually, these thoughts only come when I'm alone, because then I have no distractions. But now, my world was crashing around me. I knew Sokka and Suki were together, but that doesn't stop me from wishing.
But I'm strong. I'll stand through everything and come out fine. I can survive the war, I can survive my parents, and I can survive not being with him.

"These Words (I Love You)" by Natasha Bedingfield
I had finally told Katara how I felt about her brother, and now I guess the big mouth had gone and told him. Now here he was, standing in front of me, asking me if it was true.
I would have lied, but I knew it was pointless. Besides, now was the right time, if there ever was such a thing. He had just broken up with Suki, so maybe a kid like me would have the slightest chance.
Now, I was never very original, or romantic, for that matter. I said what I thought, and that was that. This wasn't going to be any different. I wasn't going to make up some mushy poem or something.
"I… I love you, Sokka," I said, tears gathering in my unseeing eyes. I felt his heartbeat speed up in shock, and then he took a step towards me. I didn't expect what he did next. He leaned forward and kissed me.
"I love you, too."

"Stand" by Rascal Flatts
I was kneeling by the fountain, wondering how I could keep going on, trying to save the world. I'd disappeared for 100 years and let the Air Nomads die out, I'd burnt Katara, and now I'd failed at getting to the Fire Lord during the eclipse. I had no clue what would happen now.
I felt like I was going to break soon. Then I started to get mad at myself for it. How could I possibly be so weak? I'm the Avatar! It's my destiny to save the world!
I stood up, and at that moment, I decided I was going to stop being so negative and go back to how I was before. We would come up with a new plan, and this time, I would succeed.

"Too Much to Ask" by Avril Lavigne
"Why are you always like this?!" I had finally gotten over my loneliness and gone out and found Zuko, but then he just acted all grave and gloomy, trying to tell me that we couldn't be together anymore because of his "destiny" and because he didn't want to put me in danger. Well, too bad!
For a while, I tried to ignore him and see if he reacted, but no. Then I tried to make him happy again, but he didn't smile or laugh. Nothing. So here I was, screaming at him.
"And you're just being a hypocrite now. You always act gloomy," he replied.
"Exactly! That's my job!" Now I was crying. Great. "So be happy again! You figured out your destiny, right? And now I'm here, and I want to help you! I want to be with you again!"
He pulled me into a hug after seeing my tears. It would be better now.

Author's Note: Yeah, they weren't exactly the greatest things on Earth, were they? And I think I put too much Tokka and not enough of other pairings… Oh well…
This is actually a lot harder than it seems! I had a lot of trouble finishing before each song ended, which is why a lot of the endings are so bad… I'm sorry!
Well, please leave a review and tell me what you thought of it! I'll never know what I'm doing good on or what I need to improve on if nobody tells me!
P.S. Tag, Sola!
I'm going to post hers up on my account, because she doesn't have her own account.
