I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender, any characters or settings. I just do stupid things with them.

Trouble

Sokka liked trouble. He liked war, and conflict, along with basically anything else that allowed him to shout, wave his arms around, insult people and fight them without his younger (younger, dammit!) sister grabbing him by the scruff of his neck, water-whipping him into submission, jabbing an accusatory finger into his chest or anything else of that sort.

Unfortunately for him, there wasn't any war, conflict or otherwise for him to hide behind now. Peace, he reflected, was maybe not the best thing for a warrior.

"But Katara," he told her, in a voice he hoped was both innocent and reasonable, "I was only trying to help."

Katara shot him an I-have-had-a-very-long-day-so-watch-your-step look. "How is getting yourself challenged to an Agni Kai helping? We've just finished the peace negotiations, or does that not make sense to you?"

"It makes sense," muttered Sokka, fingering his boomerang. "In theory," he added.

Katara snatched his boomerang. "I'll take that."

"But Katara –"

"Sokka, you just used this to threaten the Fire Lord!"

"Two months ago that was a good thing."

"Not when the Fire Lord is Zuko. Not when you get yourself challenged to an Agni Kai when, in case you didn't realize, you can't bend fire. Not when the world is at peace."

"So where does that put me? I'm a warrior, Katara. Threatening people is what I do."

"Find a new hobby, then! Join the National Society for Peace-Hating Idiots."

"NSPHI. Good idea."

"Sokka, if you dare –"

"Bet Toph would join, if I didn't tell her what the 'I' stood for…" Sokka paused, pondering how he'd manage to set up such a society. "Too bad Jet isn't still alive, he'd love –"

"Sokka," Katara said warningly. "In case you haven't noticed, I've got your boomerang. And some nice, fresh new bending water I'd just love to try out."

"Alright, alright! I get you. No NSPHI. Now give me back my boomerang."

A/N: This isn't specially good, it's just that… well, everything I've posted so far has been grim. So, this morning, I searched through my documents for something that wasn't about death, war, married couples arguing, etc… And came up with this stupid attempt at humour.

Humour is NOT my forte, but hey, at least I've tried.

Thanks for reading.
