How to Lose an Avatar in 10 days
"Think, Toph. Think...um...hmm...how about...boiling rocks, does it really help your pores, or will it just get you burned? No that's just dumb, erm....Earthy colors, In or Out...no, I did that four issues ago."
While Ms. Toph Bei Fong thought out loud, the bell started to ring. "Oh damn, Oh damn..." With that bell it could just have been the beginning of the Apocalypse. Everyone screaming, gulping down their last bit of coffee, taking heart-burn meds. It was crazy, then just as soon as it came, everyone assembled at their desk, their heads down and "working".
"BEI FONG!!!!" screamed the most intimidating woman ever born.
Oh damn. She's going to fire me, or worse Not fire me. Normally people were afraid of Toph, and Toph intimidated them. But this woman....Toph stifled a shudder.
"Ye...yes...Admiral Zhoay?" stuttered the short pale woman
"Where is your article" spat the Admiral. Admiral Zhoay really wasn't an admiral, her father was, but since he died in some freak Alaskan boating accident she decided to carry out the "Admiral" part in the honor of her father. Like she was honorable.
"Umm....about that....haha..funny story" Toph didn't know how she got to a styling magazine in the first place. She wanted to report real news, she wanted to travel showing stories of different people and places. Instead she was a fashion magazine reporter. A fashion reporter with no fashion sense.
"If you don't spit out a title for me in 10 seconds, I'll give you something to report on." The evil smirk on her face would cause even the worst of enemies to tears.
Think, dummy, THINK....umm.... She glanced around the room, she saw her friend TyLee crying and her other friend, Katara, was consoling her probably about another boy, god she couldn't keep a boy even IF someone threw one at her. It sparked an idea
"Tick-tock, tick-tock...tick..."
"Erm. How about How...to...Lose a guy....in ummm....." She looked around, it's the tenth....,"How to lose a...a guy in 10..days?"
The Admiral just stared at her...,"JULIE!!!!"
A perky, but somewhat scared girl came running up to her boss. She was her third assistant this month. For some odd reason they were all named Julie.
"Yes boss?" said Julie in a timid, but oh-so annoying voice
"Write this down, Bei-Fong's title 'How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days. It's perfect, find a guy do all the wrong things..." The admiral glanced at the still crying Ty Lee.
"...And lose him in ten days. Great. We have 12 days before deadline, so find a guy tonight, date him the next day, and on the twelfth day get me the story." The admiral proceeded to leave the room. Probably even more scarier than the smirk is the laugh.
As soon as Zhoay left the room, Toph shuddered, then panicked....find a guy TONIGHT....crap. What did you do Toph, just what did you do?
