FULL NAME: Four Things My Geeky-Jock Of A Best Friend MUST DO In The Fire Nation. Because Apparently I'm not allowed to write long titles.
Ello, just so you know, this is based off of a real book, called Four Things My Geeky-Jock Of A Best Friend Must Do In Europe. Don't kill me, I'm trying to change it as much as I can!
So, this is about Sokka, it's told entirely in emails to his very best friend, Yue. Yeah, I don't know why they live in Chameleon Bay instead of the North & South Poles, they just do. And Sokka will be slightly OOC, he'll be shyer and less show-offy. Well, once he gets to know certain people, he'll be more himself. So, this is in Sokka's POV because, I dunno, I enjoy Sokka? He lives in Chameleon Bay, which is a city, where he lives because it's one of the few places in Avatar I know the names of. So, he lives there, his dad takes him on a cruise around the Fire Nation, because it's like their Europe. Since I'm lazy, there are several cities in the Fire Nation with the same names as some European cities. I don't really know if I'm gonna include my OC, you people can choose, since there won't be any other characters in this chapter. And I don't know where I got the sites for Sokka & Yue's email addresses, get over it! OK, I've tortured you all enough, time to read!

Chameleon Bay Airport, Gate 11

Subject: I HATE YOU.
Well, it's the first day. But, the way you check your email, it's probably way past the first day. I might even be home. But I couldn't be, because it's the first day, right? Ahh. Two minutes into this and I already confused myself.
So, me and my dad, (my dad & I, whatever.) are sitting in this airport, waiting place. I forgot what they're called. Dad woke me up at fricken THREE IN THE MORNING so we could get here on time, for this luggage check thingy. It's supposed to make sure no one is concealing a chainsaw or something and chops everyone up, but so far, we've been here six hours and no one has checked anything, except their watches.
Yes, SIX hours. The thing said to be here three hours previous, but my intelligent father somehow misread it, he thought our flight was at seven, when it clearly said boarding at ten. So, at three in the morning, EYE read the thing correctly, so I thought I could sleep in till six, (sleeping in till six, that's what my world has been reduced to.) but at three my dad was shaking me awake, I'm trying to ask him what the crap he was doing, we didn't have to leave for another three hours, but he just goes to drink coffee and I really don't care to argue with him at three in the morning, so I turn off my alarm clock and get dressed, and before you ask, YES, I am wearing that so-called hideous gangsta hat, I don't think I look like a gangsta, I just enjoy this hat, and NO, I'm not wearing that, as you call it, 'tres sexy' shirt you forced me to wear. I'm still trying to cope with the fact that you called me 'tres sexy' in anything, so no, I will not be wearing that soon.
So, I put on the gangsta hat and sneak in to my sisters room to say goodbye, yes, I KNOW she was asleep, I just wanted to say goodbye since I wouldn't be seeing her for a couple weeks, but instead of finding my baby sister adorably asleep, I found her curled up in a ball at the edge of the mattress, blanket kicked aside, obviously asleep, her hair doing this weird thing where it covers half her face and yet looks fine in back. But the most revolting thing is what I found her wearing.
Katara was wearing this weird tank top type deal, tight and with no bra, and then, guess what else she was wearing?
A THONG.
yeah, that's right, my little baby sister was wearing a black, lacy THONG to bed. I was PISSED OFF, for one thing, why the hell would she need to wear a THONG anywhere? And this is AFTER my dad completely banned thongs in our house, which was oh-so-hard for me, you know of course. I COULD NOT BELIEVE Katara was wearing a thong, right in bed, and where dad could easily walk straight in and see her, thong exposed, right there for all the world to see and ground.
So, since I'm such a nice big brother, I moved her back to where she probably started sleeping, smack in the middle of her mattress, and covered her up so my dad wouldn't see her.
So, it took me like, fifteen minutes to shower and get dressed, not my fastest time, but whatever. So I walk downstairs, at which point I trip on a suitcase that was sitting smack at the bottom of the stairs, at which time my dad comes running to me, freaking out, it's like, 'ok, if you didn't want me tripping and killing myself, why did you put a flipping suitcase right at the foot of the stairs?' So it turns out I almost cracked my elbow, which I found strange, i didn't know you COULD crack your elbow, but whatever.
So, yeah, my elbow is fine, so we get in the car and leave, which during the half-hour ride to the airport, I suck down two & a half Mountain Dews. Dad recently read an article about the obscene amounts of caffeine us teenagers consume, so he recited it all to me, all the facts about caffeine poisoning and mood swings, statistics, how my body is a temple and I should treat it with respect, yadda, yadda, yadda. I just pretended to listen to him while sucking my poison, and we finally got there.
So, we come in at four in the morning for a ten o'clock flight, the lady looks at us like we're nuts, and we sit down here, where I've been playing the Sims 2 for hours, (I really need the third one, too bad it costs $50.) and now I get to my point: emailing you about these instructions you wrote on my hand, entitled FOUR THINGS MY GEEKY-JOCK OF A BEST FRIEND MUST DO IN THE FIRE NATION.
Okay, Yue, for one thing, just because a certain someone gets better grades than another certain someone DOES NOT make them a geek. And just because that person plays sports does not make them a jock. Well... yeah, I guess it does. Never mind. Okay, so, never mind. Oh, and THANKS for writing these in PERMANANT MARKER on my HAND! I couldn't get this stuff off at all, not for lack of trying!
EMAIL YOUR VERY BEST FRIEND YUE EVERYDAY, TELLING HER ABOUT YOUR AMAZING ADVENTURES!
Well, these are my adventures. So, I got that one down...
WEAR THE SHIRT!
Number two. I still can't believe you got me to buy the thing. It's tight, plus it's red, and it has those black things, I don't even know what they're called, they just make me look like some stripper that's gonna whip off my pants at any time here. Yes, I MIGHT wear it, maybe for like, two seconds in our room.
IN PUBLIC!
I hate you. I really do.
AND MEET A HOT FIRE NATION GIRLFRIEND!
HOW am I supposed to do that? I don't just walk up to people and talk to them, ESPECIALLY hot Fire Nation people! I'm not you!
Okay, I will yell at you later, because, guess what? WE'RE BOARDING!
-Your Used-2-Be Best Friend, (just kidding!) Sokka.

So, I'll include more than one email in other chapters, but I feel lazy, plus we're having company later, so I have to get off and do stuff I always do when we have company.
Sooooo, I need a little help, I don't think I'll put my OC in here, but if for some reason someone thinks they want Vi in here, then I'll put her in here. So far I'm definitely putting Zuko, Teo, Jet, and Toph in here, that seems like a weird bunch, but I have been having a weird obsession with Zuko & Toph lately, I've always been obsessed with Teo, and Jet, I dunno, just because. So tell me who else you want in here.
And yes, the Fire Nation cities are based on a lot of European cities, so I'm bringing them to Pompeii, Barcelona, Rome, Paris, and whatever else you people find they should go to. The readers pick out a lot of stuff here, mainly because I'm starting to develop writer's block, so yeah.
So you people know what I do with my fics, I start them when I shouldn't, write them like crazy for a couple days, then I get around to them when I'm ahead on everything else. Just have patience with me, I'm working out a system to get stuff done faster, and I want to get some stuff done before school starts, I'm starting a new school, I got homework over the SUMMER, if that shows you how busy I'll be when I get back in AUGUST.
Alright, thank you for bearing with me, review please! I live for reviews!
