Zuko and Iroh meet up with the cabbage merchant. Because I can. ONESHOT

I'm well aware how pitiful the idea of a cabbage benders (although some writers apparently aren't). 4 elements, 4 bending styles, deal with it. Just something I threw together.

Dedicated to all the fanfics with light benders, shadow benders, like benders, happiness benders, chocolate bunny benders, ect.

Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar. I do own a cabbage.

"Cabbages, get your nice cabbages here". The infamous cabbage merchant smiled as he continued walking down the road selling cabbages. To most people, he was an innocent merchant trying to make a living. However, he was secretly a master of an ancient bending technique.

"Cabbages, get your nice cabbages here"

Suddenly, he was run over by a pair of beggars. One beggar looked old and senile, while the other beggar was young and had a scar on his face. The merchants eyes widened when he realized who these two beggars were.

"You! You're Zuko" the merchant exclaimed.

"Yes, and I strongly suggest that you not tell anybody else that interesting fact."

"I'm taking you in and buying hundreds of cabbages with the reward money!"

Zuko and Iroh laughed. The merchant was jumping up and down trying to intimidate Zuko. Sadly, a weak pitiful merchant jumping up and down waving his arms is not very intimidating.

"Please. You don't stand a chance"

The cabbage merchant began waving his arms wildly. Iroh and Zuko kept laughing until Zuko was nailed with a cabbage. The cabbages in the merchant's cabbages in the cart began rising up and pelting Zuko and Iroh.

Iroh let out a curse as he burned away one of the cabbages. "Zuko, watch out, he's a cabbage bender!"

"What the hell is a cabbage bender?" Zuko asked as he was knocked to the ground by a cabbage.

"They're an ancient order of powerful benders with the ability to manipulate cabbages. Fire Lord Sozin tried to kill them all, I guess he missed a few"

"I refuse to be beaten by a loony and some cabbages!" Zuko got up and began causing a sphere of fire to surround him to burn the cabbages. Iroh helped and began shooting fire and the cabbages. Eventually, all of the cabbages were burnt to bits."

"My cabbages! My precious! NOOOOOOOOOO!" The merchant screamed and wept for his poor cabbages. He then began running away from Zuko as fast as he could.

"Wierdo"

Zuko and Iroh continued walking. Iroh began peeling cabbage bits out of his hair, while Zuko walked in silence.

"Uncle, please tell me there are no other crazy benders I need to worry about."

"Well…"

They were interrupted as a flying pot of tea flew over them. Iroh beamed and began celebrating. He grabbed Zuko and began jumping in joy.

"Do you know what this means? Tea benders!"

Review if you want to. Considering this masterpiece took 5 minutes, my feelings won't be hurt if you don't.
