Taang week 2011 Theme Two: Marker
It was like any other morning. Aang got up and saw Sokka waking up as well. Zuko being the early riser, was already out of the bedroom
"Morning Sokka."
"Morning Aang."
Aang saw a bowl of ink with a brush sticking in it next to Sokka's bed.
"Why do you have out the writing ink?"
"Oh." Sokka bit his lip. "No reason." He was trying to hide a faint chuckle in his voice.
Aang raised an eyebrow at him and questioningly answered "Uuuuuuuum…okay?" He went into the kitchen to find Katara and Suki sitting at the table chatting. "Morning." He waved. The girls looked at him and started snickering. "What's so funny?"
"Looked in a mirror lately?" Katara managed to get out.
Just then Zuko walked by in an adjacent hallway and noticed them. "Oh hey." He did a double take on Aang and his eye widened. The girls burst out laughing at his reaction.
"OKAY WHAT!" Aang yelled impatiently.
"Uh, buddy, you-you got a little something on your…" Zuko brushed his upper lip with his finger. Aang rubbed his knuckle on his lip and when he looked at it, it had black ink on it. He went over to a mirror mounted on the wall, and almost jumped back.
"WHOA!" He had a black curly mustache drawn on his face, half of which smudged now. He looked back at the girls and Zuko, who were laughing hysterically.
"I think you look good with it." Katara said.
"Yeah, rumor has it you used to have a full head of hair too." Suki added, running her hand over her head.
"Excuse me." Aang said scornfully. "Sokka. That's why the ink was out." He opened the door to their room to find Sokka still there. "No reason huh?".
Sokka saw the disgruntled on Aang's face as well as the smudged moustache. "I know what you're thinking…but it wasn't me. It was Toph. She just had to borrow my ink. I'd just wish she'd put it away." He said with the bowl still out.
"Oh did she now." It was more of a statement than a question. Aang grabbed the brush and headed out of the room again.
"Oh this won't end well." Sokka stated to himself.
Aang went looking for Toph and found her on the beach practicing her sandbending.
"Hey Toph." Aang held the brush behind his back, hoping the sand would prevent Toph from sensing it.
"Hey Twinkle Toes." She said casually.
"You think this is funny?" Aang pointed at his face.
"Well it looks like you're pointing at you face, which I don't know what it looks like. But I heard that it is pretty funny looking."
"Sokka told me what you did." He stated bluntly.
"Oh that. Yeah, I think it's funny, but what are you going to do about it? We both know you're too much of a wuss to do anything about it." She boldly stated.
"Am I?" He lunged at her with the brush.
Later they both came stumbling in covered in streaks of black ink. Sokka had told the rest of the Gaang about Aang going after Toph, so they were waiting for them.
"So did you two settle your differences?" Sokka tensed.
Aang spoke up. "Yeah, we sat down, had a nice civil conversation." He paused a moment. "And then I jumped her."
"And lost. Seriously, did you think you could go up against me?" Toph finished.
Aang shrugged. "Gotta draw the line draw the line somewhere."
"And it looks you drew it all over each other." Sokka joked.
"Har har." Katara laughed sarcastically. "Hey Toph that one mark makes you look like you have a black eye."
"What would that effect would that have? It's not like she's using it." Suki commented.
"Then how about I give you one and see how you like it?" Toph punched her palm.
"No." Suki backed away. "I'm good."
"Looks like you got one too Aang." Zuko said.
"Um." He pointed at his eye. "This isn't ink."
"Oh…"
I really couldn't think of anything else so I hope it's not too bad. This was for humor and not romance. Tomorrow will be better I promise.
