Hey guys! It's me, with another fun fan-fiction! I had this one bubbling in my head for quite a bit, so I thought why not make a story out of it! Anyway, hope you like it! Please review!~
- I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender
It had been about 3 weeks since Aang had defeated the Firelord. 'The Gaang'; Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko, Mai and Suki were thinking of where to go. Zuko and Aang had been working alot in the past few weeks, so they decided to take a break and join them. As little did Zuko know, a 'break' meant a 'holiday'.
They were having lunch at Iroh's Tea Shop. "So, do you guys know where we should be going for our little vacation?" Suki asked, lifting her head up from her roasted fish. Zuko frowned at the word 'vacation'. He had planned to relax, and he knew that where there was Aang, no real relaxing would be done. He was way too much of an airbender, anyway.
Aang was about to speak, but was cut off by very polite Sokka "Ooh! Ooh! I know!" he raised his hand like a 5-year-old, trying to get attention. "How about... The Desert!" he said, trying to sound dramatic at the end. Everyone turned their heads towards him, surprised. "Why in the world would you want to go back there?" Katara asked, annoyed by her older brother's manners. "Probably to see The Friendly Mushroom, again." Toph laughed at her own joke. Sokka just glared at her "It was a Giant Friendly Mushroom, Toph..." he muttered, mostly to himself. Everyone laughed.
After Toph finished laughing, she spoke up, right before Aang could start his talking. "Hey, how about The Great Divide? It's a pretty cool canyon, so I've heard." Katara and Sokka yelled in unison "No!", gaining a suspicios look from Toph. "Pffft, calm down, I was just saying." she said, rubbing her nose, Ugh, they're both acting like they were 3... Katara thought in her head, disgusted by her brother and friend.
Aang saw his chance, now that the two main chatters have quieted down, but he was still cut off. "Hey, why can't we just stay here?" Zuko suggested, annoyed, now knowing that those two would only offer wild-riding choices. They all just looked at him, disapointingly. "Awww c'mon Zuko! You know that staying here would be booooring!" Sokka whined. "Hah, not as boring as Mai." Toph added. "Ha-ha" Mai commented sarcastically. Aang didn't waste a minute, now that everyone had spoken but him.
"How 'bout we go to the South Pole?" he suggested. They all turned their attention to him, adding their eyes and heads. He started to feel embarrassed. After a few awkward moments of everyone staring at him, Katara broke the silence "I'd like that." she said sweetly. "Yeah! We can go see Gran-Gran... and Gramp-Gramp!" Sokka added, joyfully. "Gramp-Gramp?" Toph snorted. "Yeah, y'know Pakku? Our grand-" "We know, Sokka." Suki quickly cut him off, yet she said it nicely (being his girlfriend and all). "So, we all agree?" Aang asked. They all nodded, all but one. All but Zuko. "No." he said coldly. "What's wrong with the South Pole?" Katara asked. "I've been there before, not a very tropical beach-place, y'know." he answered just as cold. Sokka and Katara got a little offended by that, since it was their home, afterall. "C'mon Zuko, it'll be fun!" Aang said cheerfully, which also cheered Katara up.
"No! There's no way I'm being dragged into a blizzardy, cold, endless-!"
-The next day, at the South Pole-
"S-South P-p-pole!" Zuko muttered, as he got off Appa. He was wearing a coat, similiar to Sokka's, with his hood as close to his nose as possible, trying to keep warm. Everyone had gotten their own one, after Hakoda had visited them at Iroh's Tea Shop. It was a suevenir for all of them (Except for Sokka and Katara, they already had theirs).
"Ugh! I can't b-b-belive I l-let you g-guys d-drag m-me into th-this!" He stammered, shivering. After they all got down, Aang breathed in, and out, then shouted cheerfully "Yay! We can go penguin-sledding again!" Katara smiled Well what do you know? He remembered... Though, that was kinda childish...Oh well, he IS 13 she thought in her head. "Aahh! I can't see a thing through all of this, all of this-..." "Snow." Mai finished. "Yeah, that. You guys never told me this place didn't have any rock!" she protested. "Well, you never asked." Suki said, giggling a little. Toph grunted and laid on her back, doing an angel, even thought she didn't know she was. "You guys go have fun, I'm just gonna stay here until you come back." she said confidently. "Toph, you're gonna freeze to death like that." Katara joked, but was being realistic. "Gladly." the earthbender said.
Aang, who was already walking towards the penguin-area, stopped and looked up the sky. "Come on guys! We better get going until the blizzard arrives!" he shouted cheerfully back where the group still stood. "Coming!" Katara yelled back and ran towards him. Anything to get away from those two whiners... she thought. "Hey! Wait for us!" Sokka and Suki followed. Mai stared at her freezing boyfriend, then said "Well, I'd better go with them rather than stay here where I'd turn into an ice-cube." and started walking. Zuko looked as his girlfriend was leaving Ugh, what's the point of complaining now, anyway? We're here, I might aswell get my blood moving again... he thought. He looked back at the laying earthebender "C'mon Toph, let's get moving." "No." she responded. "Allright, you made your choice." he said, and picked her up, caring her on his back, because she obviously wasn't going to walk. "Hey! Put me down, Sparky!" she complained and waved her arms and legs around. "No." he copied her voice and kept walking towards the footprints.
She sighed, stopped waving her arms and legs, and blew her hair out of the way of her eyes.
