Please reply!
Disclaimer: No matter how many times I say it, the answer it the same: I do not own Avatar, so stop rubbing it in my face! -sob- But wait... I do own EBBS!! Yay! -party- Also, there are a few similarities between the movie Mean Girlsand this Fan Fic in this chapter. I do not own Mean Girls. NOTICE!! Some of you pointed out that Mai should not have warned them. It was Mia not Mai. I am sorry that I made the names to close. I will go back soon and make the difference more clear. Sorry.
Detications:

HeartAngel: No, don't worry, it will have lots of other character's POV.
Kya's POV
"No way," Katara said. "Okay, that tears it. This. Is. War."
"What can we do?" Zuko asks.
"Remember what Master K said on the first day of school?" Katara asked me. "About the duels?"
I remembered. "'Once every month, the classes team up and have duels.'" I quoted. "But how will beating her get back at her?"
"Good point."
"I got it!" Sokka shouted. He pulled out a sheet of paper and a pen. "Azula is an evil dictator. Like Hitler. How do you overthrow a school version of Hitler?"
"Take away their resources!" Zuko said. When everyone looked at him strangely, he said, "We're doing this in Social Studies."
"It's true. We are," Sokka says. "But anyway, Azula would be nothing without the money from her rich father," He drew a dollar sign on the sheet of paper, "Her teacher's trust," He wrote the word "trust" on the sheet of paper, "And her ignorant band of loyal followers." As he said that, he wrote, "Mai, Ty Lee, and other Populars".
"So how do we take this all away?" Toph asks.
"Zuko, you'll have to intercept Azula's cash flow," Sokka says to Zuko.
"Not a problem," He says shortly.
"Toph and I will set up a bunch of practical jokes on the teachers, and frame Azula," He says.
"Sounds like fun," Tophsays with a smile.
"Katara and Kya, you will have to persuade the Populars to stop following Azula around," Sokka finishes.
"Easier said than done," I say. "But I think we can do it."
"Then, during the next duel, you make sure you beat her, and POW!" He yells, causing everyone to jump. "Azula is no longer queen of the school."
"Wow, Sokka," Katara says. "This might just work!"
The Next Day, at PE
"The Boulder requires that everyone tries out for a sport," The Boulder said. "Try-outs are tomorrow, Friday, at 5 PM, so The Boulder recommends that you begin to practice."
"What are you trying out for?" I ask Katara. "I'm thinking about tennis."
"Wait!" Katara says. "I have a good idea. Let's see what Azula is trying out for. If it is something we're good at, then we can try to beat her!"
"Good plan," I say as we walk over to the sign-up lists. We scan the list for Azula's name.
"Bam," I whisper. "She's trying out for tennis. We can beat her."
"Totally," Katara agrees as we write our names on the list.
Sokka's POV
"I'm thinking about trying out for football," I comment casually to Zuko and Aang. They both stifle a laugh. "What?" I ask.
"You? Football?" Zuko says on the verge of laughing. "You're kidding, right?"
"No, I'm serious!" I exclaim. When I receive Zuko and Aang's skeptical glance, I say, "I'm trying out."
"I'm going for basketball," Zuko says.
"So am I," Aang says. "Being an Airbender, I can jump really high."
Azula's POV
"I'm trying out for cheerleading, what about you, Azula?" Ty Lee asks me cheerfully.
"I am trying out for tennis," I say. "It's the only fun sport to sign up for. What about you, Mai?"
"I'll try out for tennis," Mai says, bored.
Sokka's POV
Too soon, it was time for the football try-outs. I ran to the football field towards the back of the campus.
I'm not even going to tell you all that happened while I was there, but after the tryouts, I was sitting on Toph's bed having Katara heal me. This is what happened:
I stumbled into my sister's room, and fell on the ground.
"Sokka, what happened?" Katara ask worriedly, helping me up and sitting me on the twin bed.
Then, Zuko, Aang and Toph walked in the open door. "We all made Basketball!" Aang exclaimed.
Zuko sees me sitting on the bed and says, "You went to Football try-outs, didn't you?"
Current Time
"It's nice to know that you had so much faith in me," I say sarcasticly as Katara heals me with her water. After a while, I sit up. "Thanks, Katara," I say. "So how did tryouts go for the rest of you?"
"I made the girl's basketball team," Toph said.
"We made the guy's team," Zuko and Aang say.
"Kya and I both made tennis," Katara finishes.
"I take it you didn't make football?" Zuko asked.
"Nope," I say. "I didn't make it. Which means that I have to take the left-over spots on some girly sport team that no one wants to be in."
"I'm sure it won't be that bad," Katara reassures me.
"I have a great idea for revenge on Azula," I say, changing the subject. "But it is going to take everyone to make this work."
I explain my plan.
"That will work perfectly!" Kya says. "When do we want to do it?"
"Katara and Kya, get into postition," I say as I hand them each a walkie-talkie, and Katara a strand of Azula's hair. "When he leaves his room, radio Zuko us. Kya, stall him as long as you can."
"We're on it," Katara replies, and she and Kya run out of the room.
"Aang, get Azula, Mai and Ty Lee out of their room, and as fast as you can. Get them to the restroom, and lock them in using earthbending."
"Okay," He says, grabbing one of the walkie-talkies, and running out the door.
"Zuko, I need you to make sure that Azula gets out of the restroom, but make sure it is the right time. Too early, we will be caught, but too late, Zhao will find an empty room."
"Okay," He responds. He grabs a walkie-talkie, and runs out of the room.
"Toph, you need to pick the lock to Azula's room. You're sticking with me, while I toss the goop-filled balloons all over Zhao."
"Let's go," Toph says. I pick up the last walkie-talkie, and we run down to Azula's room.
Aang's POV
Room 333. Okay. I knock hurriedly on the door. Azula opens it.
"Yes?" She asks.
"You're needed in the girl's restroom right away," I say, pretending to be out of breath. "Someone needs to talk to you. All of you."
"Very well, peasant," Azula says as she walks outside the room and locks it behind her. "This better be urgent."
I wait until they are around the corner, then, I pull out the radio and say, "All clear, Sokka."
"Copy that."
I peek around the corner. Azula just walked into the restroom. I quickly run to the door, and form a rock in the shape of a key. I stick it in the bathroom door, and it locks. I change the channel on the radio and say, "Zuko, the door is locked."
"Okay," He says. "Get back up to the room, and quickly."
I run to the stairway, and airbend myself up to the sixth story.
Meanwhile, Katara's POV
I run towards Zhao's room at full speed, but stop at the corner so I can spy on his room without being seen. I see the doorway open, and Zhao walks out. He locks his door, and walks around a corner.
I pull out my radio and change it to Kya's station. "Zhao is out of his room, I'm going in," I say.
"Got it."
I walk to Zhao's room, and bend water inside the lock. I freeze the water, and I jerk it with my bending. The lock shatters, and pieces of the metal are all over the floor. I push open the door. I run to his desk and pull open on the cabinet labeled, "Answer Keys". I try to keep it is undisturbed as possible. I open the folder labeled "August 28th" That is the date of the big test. I pull out the answer key, and put the folder back in place. I grab the hair that Sokka managed to steal, and slip it into the folder. There. It looks like Azula bent down, and a hair fell into the folder.. I pull out my radio and say, "I planted the evidence and grabbed the answer key, I'm coming back to the room."
"Okay, hurry," Zuko's voice commands.
Meanwhile, Kya's POV
I see Zhao walking down the hallway. I coat the floor in front of him with ice. He slips. I pretend to be surprised when I walk around the corner.
"Professor Zhao," I say, pretending to care. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" He snaps. He gets up, and melts the ice with a fire blast. He looks at me and says, "Get back to your dorm!"
"Yes sir!" I squeak, and fast-walk outside the Math and Science Hall. When I'm there, I radio Zuko. "I did all I can do," I say.
"Okay, stay there," He commands. "You need to be the one to see the balloons coming from Azula's room. Make sure you point it out to Zhao. Once you do that, get back to the dorm."
Meanwhile, Toph's POV
I fumble with the lock on Azula's room, but then I get it open.
"There," I say, and Sokka and I hurriedly walk inside.
Sokka's POV
Toph opens the lock, and I walk in. I open the window in the room overlooking the Math and Science Hall. I see Zhao walk out. I grab a small goop-filled water balloon, and prepare to throw it at Zhao. I make sure that the black curtain (Probably put there by Mai) covers the window, so that I see out, but no one else could see in. I stick my hand outside the window with the balloon in my hand. Closer... Closer... FIRE!! I throw the balloon at him, it hits him, right on the head. Bulls eye!! I grab another water balloon. I throw it at him again. I barely hear a voice:
"Look, it's coming from that window!" It's Kya. Good, she's doing her part. I throw another small balloon at Zhao to prove it. He walks towards our dorm. "It's coming from room 333!"
Katara runs in the room with the answer key. "What should I do with it?" She asks.
"Sit it on Azula's desk," I command. "Hurry back to the dorm."
As she leaves, I throw my last balloon at Zhao. It's big, about the size of my head. BAM!! He is covered in brown crap. He begins to storm to our dorm.
I radio Zuko, "Get them out of the restroom, and hurry!"
I grab Toph's hand, and pull her out of the room. She locks the door using earthbending, and she runs to the stairway.
"Grab my hand!" The whispers. I grab her hand, and she flings us upward, and onto the sixth floor. I land on top of Toph, and hurriedly get up. We just look around, embarrassed.
"Um..." I say. "Let's, uh... get in the dorm..."
"Yeah," She agrees, flustered.
We walk in the door.
Zuko's POV
I grab out my draw swords, and pick the lock. In a matter of seconds, it is unlocked, and I run back to the dorm before they see me.
Katara's POV
Soon, everyone is back at the dorm.
"So, how do we know if the plan worked?" I asked.
"I guess Ozai will make an announcement tomorrow not to pull pranks," Sokka says. "Or Zhao will yell at us. Either way, I guess we won't find out until tomorrow."
"Or we can wait a few minutes, and see if anyone is talking about it in the lounge," Kya suggests.
"That would probably be better," I agree. "I'm going down right now to talk to Suki."
I walk out of the room and climb down the orange stairway. When I finally make it down to the lounge, everyone was talking. I saw Suki gathered around a couple of other girls and a few guys from Social Studies.
"Did you here?" One of the boys, Kyro (An Earthbender), asked. "Azula, Mai and Ty Lee were caught throwing water balloons filled with dog crap on Zhao!"
It's amazing how quickly stories can be exaggerated.
"Really?" One of the girls said. "I heard that it was filled with baby food!"
"I can't believe Azula would do that to a teacher," I say, faking amazement. I look at my blue watch. "Oh! I have to go meet someone in my dorm! See you later, guys!" After that fake excuse, I make a geyser and go back up to the dorm. I burst in the room and say:
"It worked!"
