The Gaang (plus Jade and Loki) was flying again, Katara was mending clothes, Aang was driving, and Jade and Loki were bored. Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored.
"Are we there yet?" Loki complained.
"No, now shut up." Zuko was still mad at Loki and Jade for the hug thing… And Loki had apparently made collapsing his tent while Zuko was still in it part of his daily routine.
"Loki, stop bothering Zuko," Katara told the boy, but she was bored, too. "Jade, can't you do something with him?"
Jade thought for a moment. "Will I get paid?"
"No, but if you don't find something to occupy Loki, Zuko might set Appa's saddle on fire by mistake," Sokka commented.
"Fine." Jade dug around in their bags. "Loki, catch," she said, throwing him a ball. They played peacefully for a minute.
"Hey, watch it!" Zuko told them, the ball having bounced off his head. It was just a rolled up piece of cloth, so it didn't do any damage.
"Sorry," Loki retrieved the ball and threw it back to Jade. The ball bounced off Zuko again. And again. And again. And again. And again. Zuko's self-control was fraying fast. The next time the ball bounced off him…
"Aarrgh! Damn it!" Zuko seized the bothersome thing and it started to smolder.
"Um, Zuko? As much as I'd enjoy watching you lose your temper, why don't you unroll it first?" Loki grinned at Jade's comment. Zuko, still mad, singed it a bit more before extinguishing the flames that were eagerly eating away at the ball. Unrolling it, it proved to be one of Zuko's best robes.
Sokka shook his head. "Didn't you learn from the 'scorpion bee incident'?" he asked Jade softly.
"Aaah! Take us down Aang!" Aang quickly landed Appa as Katara put out the flames that were a product of Zuko using Jade and Loki for target practice.
Hmm... the ending's a little weak... Sorry... Please review.
