Author's Note:
Aw heck with it. I decided to make a sequal to my previous, Zutarian's Paradise. Expect this time, there is A LOT of shipping. Ranging from major shipping, to minor characers, to just crack. So there might be Zutara, might be Taang. Might be Jet x Song or Mai. xD Stuff like that. But there will always be plenty of Zutara. (see title.) So, I'm karen, if you don't know me. Enjoy!

"So, the Avatar never once paid you for being his master bending teachers?"
Their new member of the gang, blinked his golden eyes as he casually asked a question to the group. He was simply curious, and simply just asking a simple question. Unfortunately, nothing is simple in this little messed up family.
Beside Aang, Katara turned her head and narrowed her eyes at bald monk who was desperately trying to disappear.
"Yes, Aang. What do you pay us?"
The said Avatar laughed nervously, holding up his hands as he gave a cheesy smile.
"Um...I pay in love and friendship?"
Sokka snorted.
The fire bender shrugged, and took the tea from his Uncle's hands. Toph leaned back, already sensing the teasing smirk on the water bender's lips. Aang rubbed his head, really wishing that the topic would go away.
Just like Toph's prediction, she saw what was coming.
"Well, actually Aang. Friendship is good, because we all know Zuko is broke on that."
Katara smirked after her taunt, crossing her arms in triumph while Sokka started to laugh.
Everybody could have sworn steam blew out of the firebender's ears.
"What did you say peasant!? I have friends!"
The waterbender stood, and the firebender did the same, towering over her height. Looking up with a glare, she pointed a threatening finger at him. His golden eyes flashed red dangerously, and the tea in his hands had fallen to the ground leaving Iroh to worry over that instead of the regular bickering that always happened between them.
"Uncles and imaginary friends don't count, Prince!"
"Whatever you say, Princess!"
"Stupid idiotic snob!"
Toph rolled her eyes as the comments kept on coming, and she turned her head toward Aang who was watching the fight with wide eyes. Sokka sighed and decided to take advantage of Iroh's tea and give himself another serving.
"You may pay him in friendship, Twinkletoes, but Sugar Queen over there pays him in the flirting department."
Aang flinched when he saw a painful water whip hit a certain firebender on the head which was quickly followed by his own fire whips. With a sigh, and feeling only a tiny bit sad, he spoke once more.
"Wow...I never knew flirting could be so...violent."
