DISCLAIMER: NO, I DO NOT OWN AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER OR ANY RELATED FRANCHISE. THIS FANFICTION WAS COWRITTEN WITH TALLOK AND AOINA.

SUMMARY: MY FRIENDS AND I INVITE THE AVATAR CHARACTERS TO A NEW SEASON CELEBRATION AT TALLOK'S HOUSE. BUT THEN SOMETHING AT THE PARTY GOES HORRIBLY WRONG, AND GUESS WHO'S ON THE CASE

(RATED K+ FOR SOME CRUDE REMARKS.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Tallok sat in the living room. Hanging from the staircase was a banner reading "Happy 2nd Season Avatar!" There was a knock on the door. Tallok looked to the door and said loudly, "Oh! That must be her!"

With that said he opened the door to let Narada through. Narada smiled and nodded, "Hey! What's up?"

In response Tallok shrugged his shoulder, "Not much. Where's Aoina?" He asked, noting that the other female wasn't here.

Narada gestured out towards the door and replied with, "She had some last minute invitations to hand out. How about you?"

Tallok grinned widely, "I'm almost done with decorations. How's the food coming?"

"I brought a few boxes of Mom's tea in case Iroh's feeling peckish, and the deliver guys from Pizza Hut are unpacking the rest of it in the back. Can ya help 'em out?"

With a nod Tallok said, "Sure! Let's go."

They all head into Tallok's living room where there are several tables set, and two Pizza Hut delivery guys are loading pizza, chicken wings, and soda onto the tables. Narada waved as she walked in. "How's it comin' fellas?"

The one that spoke had his hat on backwards and mumbled, "That's a lotta stuff you ordered ma'am. What's the occasion?"

Tallok looked shocked, "You mean you didn't hear! Avatar's going on its second season!" His voice carried through the whole house.

By now the second delivery guy had taken notice of the conversation and his jaw dropped. "Avatar? Holy crap I love that show!" He yelled in response, launching his tall frame up and down a few times.

Again the first with his hat on backwards spoke, "Damn right. There was one time he called in sick 'cause there was a marathon of it on that night!" He gave his friend a sidelong glance and grinned.

Narada blinked, "Wow, glad to see we got fans helping us. You boys think you can stay for the party?" She asked curiously.

The first delivery guy shrugged to his partner, "Well, this is our last delivery before our shift's over..."

Before he could finish Tallok had interrupted, "Great! We still need some setting up before the actual party though. So why don't you guys handle the decorations while Narada and I finish up?"

The delivery guys stood in a mock soldier position and said at the same time, "Sir, yes sir!"

Narada smirked and rolled her eyes. "At ease boys. It's just the streamers."

Ten minutes had passed and the doorbell rang, signifying that someone had arrived. Narada shouted that she'd answer and as she opened the door, Aoina entered.

Tallok saw her and then rushed foward. "Squee! You made it!"

Aoina nodded before shrugging, "Yeah, I wasn't sure I even sent 'em all. I take it y'all are set up here?"

Narada nodded, "Yep. Now we just have to wait for the guests."

With that said there was a pause as they all glanced to eachother not sure of what to do with themselves.

Tallok was the first to speak up and address this dilemma. "So," he began as he drew out the letter O, "what do we do in the meantime?"

Aoina arched a brow. "I dunno. Wanna play some Mortal Kombat?"

At her suggestion Narada questioned, "Which one?"

Aoina replied instantly with, "MK Gold."

In response Narada said, "M'kay." And with that the two ran off to the basement to go and turn on the playstation and start playing the game.

Tallok wasn't able to protest and only managed to shout out after them, "I play winner!" Then he was racing off after the two.

By now it had seemed like only minutes had passed of their playing Mortal Kombat, but it had been a good deal longer, and with many battles. A voice boomed out from the television, "Finish Him!" There was a pause, then a kissing noise followed, soon after a balloon inflating, and finally an explosion signaling the end of yet another round. The voice returned, "Kitana wins! Fatality."

Narada laughed and looked to Tallok. "I totally just owned you! Hahaha! Whadya say to that?" In response she got a glare that shot daggers at her accompanied by silence.

Aoina rolled her eyes, "I don't see why you always play Kitana anyways, Mileena owns her any day."

Narada looked over and shook her head, "No way! Kitana's Kiss of Death Fatality owns all!"

And then the doorbell rang, and Tallok shot up and rushed to the door muttering, "Finally!" He opened the door to see Sokka standing with Katara and Aang walking up behind him.

Sokka muttered, "Stupid planes, sorry we're late."

Narada shrugged and said, "You and everyone else we invited! Come on in." She gestured inside as Tallok stepped aside.Sokka went in first followed by his sister and Aang, who seemed to be suffering from a bloody nose. Tallok cringed, "Ouch! Battle gone wrong?"

Sokka answered for Aang, "Nosebleed. I told him not to have Appa go that high!"

Aoina looked a bit sympathetic before grabbing a handkerchief and handing it to him. "Here." She handed the cloth to Aang who in turn held it to his nose. Aoina tilted her head, "And try to tilt your head up, they say that helps."

Aang smiled, "Thanks!" He tilted his head upward and asked in a slightly nasal voice, "Where can we leave Appa?"

Tallok pointed in the direction of the garage, "Just put him in the garage, Mom won't mind."

Aang nodded and after he had put Appa in his rightful place, (that being in the garage) the few guests and the three hosts looked at each other expectantly.

Narada then suggested, "Let's go play some Mortal Kombat until the others arrive!"

They all agree and rush off to the basement.

"I call first dibs on Liu Kang!" Sokka beamed humorously.

"Whatever." Katara quipped, "We're still gonna beat you!"

Time passed and eventually Tallok's house became a bustling, lively area as random guests steadily began to arrive. Suki was the next Avatar character to arrive, followed by Zuko and Iroh, then Jet, Meng, Haru, Jun, Pakku, and lastly, Zula.

As Narada looked around at the guests she noticed someone missing, "Hey Aoina-How come you didn't invite Ozai?"

Aoina nearly spit out the punch she had been drinking, "And risk a big scene! Zuko and Iroh are fugitives in the next season, remember?"

Narada raised an eyebrow. "That didn't stop you from inviting Zula." She muttered.

Aoina laughed, "Now her I can handle!" She smiled mischeviously as she said this.

Meanwhile, at the snack table Zuko is testing a buffalo wing as he dips it in the hot sauce before tasting. He shrugged, "Huh, these are pretty good..." As he examined the buffalo wings more closely, Zula entered approaching him. "Hope you enjoyed the party Zuzu, because now you're under arrest!"

Aoina had wandered by and then glared at the fire nation princess, "Oh no you don't!" She said before whipping out a Zula voodoo doll. Aoina held it up threateningly.

Zula glared at her, "You wouldn.'t..." 

Narada had arrived on the scene and was grinning as she folded her arms, "Oh yes she would!"

Without delaying any longer Aoina began to make the doll dance, which resulted in Zula dancing as well. Zula struggled, but to no avail against this strange force controlling her body. "What...Are...You...DOING!" She commanded.

As Zula continued to dance (against her will) Tallok slipped a 50 cent CD in and turns it to the song "In Da Club." Everyone except Zula began to sing at the same time, "Go Zula, it's your birthday, we're gonna party like it's your birthday. We gonna sip Bacadri like it's your birthday.."

As the song continued on the guests went back to enjoying themselves as Aoina continues to fiddle with the Zula doll.

"Grrrr! You two-bit peasants will pay for this!" Zula yelled out, implying a large threat on the 'two-bit peasants.'

Zuko laughed lightly before looking to the others, "Thanks guys, that was too close."

Narada smirked, "Honey you ain't seen nothin' yet!" She opened the back door where several Zuko fangirls are standing outside, and addressed them. "Hey ladies!"

Tallok took the cue and pointed to Zula, "She tried to have Zuko kicked out just now!"

One fangirl nearly fainted, while another screamed, "What!" One near the front then raised her sign, "Get her!" The fangirls charged and attacked Zula with disturbing ferocity. Zuko watched the fight his eyes wide, "Oh...my..."

Narada cut him off, "See? Nobody talks to you like that without these lovely ladies whoopin' them big time!"

Zuko's eye seemed to be twitching slightly, "How," he shuddered before continuing, "comforting."

Narada nodded and said blankly, "You have no idea."

Since the Zula threat seemed to of been taken care of, Aoina put the doll away and glanced around. "So, who's up for pizza?" She asked with a grin, obviously hungry.

Zuko shook his head, "You three go ahead. I hear the Avatar and that water tribe girl-"

Narada interrupted, "You mean Katara?"

Zuko nodded, "Yes, her. As I was saying, word is they're having a little Mortal Kombat contest in the basement, so I'm going to go and check it out."

Aoina laughed, "Good luck with that! I've seen those two in action, and they don't scare easily from fatalities."

Zuko said darkly, "We'll see about that." And left the kitchen headed for the basement.

Narada shrugged lightly, not taking notice of Zuko's strange words. "Anyways, let's go get that pizza!"

Aoina: Anytime!

Narada: Sorry it's a day late though.

Aoina: Ah don't worry about it.
