-Bars & Babies-
"So you dated this girl when we were in high school?" Katara asked. She held the fruity drink she was nursing slowly in her hand, and looked at it's umbrella, rather that look at her ex-boyfriend as he talked about his new girlfriend.
"Yeah, you probably don't remember her, it was freshman year, so only Sokka was at school with me."
"If she was your girlfriend in your freshman year, than you probably weren't dating, since that's impossible when you're a fourteen year old," Toph's voice said from behind him.
"No, it's not. We really dated. Now, if you guys aren't nice to her, I'll pick her over you. Seriously, I don't believe in bros before hos," Zuko said, widening his good eye.
"Uhm, I'm not your bro," Katara said.
Zuko looked at her, "I'd choose her over you too."
"Shut up Zuko, Katara doesn't seem too happy," Sokka said, putting his beer up to his lips and avoiding looking directly into Katara's eyes.
"Shut up Sokka, I'm glad Zuko has someone. Aang, Zuko and I were a real bunch of losers, you know that?"
"I'm not a loser," Toph cheered herself on, "I'm awesome."
"Wait," Sokka asked, turning to his left to look at Zuko, "What's her name?"
"Yori," Zuko said, sipping his Jack Daniels.
"Yori? She was weird, and her body didn't fit her right," Sokka said. "I thought you were talking about Erica," Sokka laughed, "She developed early. But I guess she either didn't know it, or didn't like wearing a bra."
Toph hit her boyfriend. "One, asshole, your girlfriend's sitting here. Two asshole, this girls body that you're drooling over, is fourteen years old, you pedophile."
Zuko laughed at his friends misfortune. "You two are perfect together. We just needed someone to beat Sokka when he says something stupid."
"Don't give her any ideas," Sokka said.
"Oh, now I need Zuko to come up with things for me?"
"You're so pregnant," Katara said, laughing.
Sokka and Zuko turned to look at a wide eyed Toph. Sokka spit his beer back into the bottle, and all over his hands and the table.
"So... what?" he stuttered like a child.
Toph's face turned bright right and her eyes twitched as she glared at Katara. "I'm not pregnant," she said to Sokka.
"Then why aren't you drinking?" he asked, indicating to her coke. "And why didn't you drink the coffee I brought for you this morning?"
"Becase... I, I don't want to get drunk like I usually do."
"And the coffee?" he asked.
"Coffee's bad for pregnant people?" Toph asked.
"Will you excuse us?" Sokka asked his sister and his best friend, getting out of the booth they were sitting in and grabbing Toph's wrist, trying to pull her from her seat.
"I'll get up my own fucking self, thanks," she growled, snatching her wrist from Sokka's grip.
They stormed out of the bar, yelling before they were even outside.
Zuko made a face and sipped more of his Jack. "Well then, that wasn't painfully awkward."
"Yeah, I didn't mean to say that," she said. "Well," she brightened quickly, "You should buy a bottle of something strong. Sokka'll probably be staying over at yours tonight, and might want to get drunk."
Zuko glared at Katara. "You're right. I'll wait 'til they get back, and then suggest that he stays at mine."
"I'm going to go buy more drinks. What do you want?"
"Jack," he said. "Thanks."
"Yeah, it's fine. I feel bad 'cause Toph told me not to tell. I'm gonna buy her a present when we leave."
"I thought you were going out to eat with Aang. Where is he anyway?"
"Work, he texted me earlier and told me he couldn't make it."
"Oh that's shit," Zuko said. "Do you want me to buy you dinner? Sokka can fend for himself at my house."
"No, go hang out with your girlfriend," Katara said, standing.
"She's at work-Tara, are you jealous?" he grinned, "It's okay if you are."
Katara blushed red, "Jack Daniels, right?"
Zuko laughed. "Yeah."
A/N - Okay, hello peeps.
This is kind of a short chapter, and I'm not really sure why Aang isn't in it, but I think this is going to be a good story. I think this is the first story I've written with people outside of high school, which is going to be hard, since I'm in high school. This story probably won't be about Toph and her baby (which someone ELSE should write about because I always want to read about that, but no one EVER writes about it. It'll mostly be about Zuko and the OC, because that's what I thought about first. Now that I think about it, it's weird that I made Toph and Sokka together, because I don't even ship Tokka.
Whatever.
Bye people.
Review please.
(Plus, also, if you've read any of my other stories, you'll know I make a lot of typing errors {which make me want to die when I reread, because I'm a grammar nerd} so if you see any, feel obliged to tell me, and I'll fix it when I can.
kthanksbye
