Guys, I am so sorry that it took me over two months to update. I really am. Please forgive me, I've just been so busy, and I know you guys are busy also and you still update in a timely manner, you guys are just better then me I guess. I'm sorry. I hope you enjoy. Oh yeah, I love constructive criticism, or flaming, what ever you call it. Now I know they didn't have yo mama jokes in the time period that Avatar takes place, but use your imagination and imagine how terribly the characters would tell you mama jokes. I only made up 2 original ones.

"I want you to apologize to Katara, Zuko," Iroh stated with his arms crossed. Zuko glowered at his uncle.

"I'm - sorry," the words came out quite strained. Katara knew he didn't mean it. Zuko reached out for a card. His small eyes scanned it. "'Sit in the lap of the person next to you,'" he read. Katara looked at him, looking at him was almost like a reflex for her. He looked slightly disgruntled. "No way."

"What do you mean no way? The card says you have to do it," Katara said feeling quite aggravated by his behavior but she could never be angry with him.

"I mean no way am I going to sit on your chubby legs," he said, as he crossed his arms across his chest. She glowered at him.

"Will you two love birds shut up," Toph said feeling irritated by their behavior. Everyone's heads (accept Iroh's) turned to Toph so fast that it was a surprise that they didn't all snap.

"Love birds? Your on crack," said Zuko as he glanced around uncomfortably. "We're not Love birds. We don't love each other. No way."

"It's called a joke fire head," said Toph raising an eyebrow at the scarred boys reaction.

Katara opened her mouth to speak but Sokka spoke for her. "There's absolutely no way Katara loves this guy."

"Maybe not love, but they could have feelings for each other," Aang said blinking his large gray eyes. They once again, nearly broke their necks turning to Aang in shock.

Aang had feelings for the young water bender himself, but he knew he couldn't have her because of his duties as the Avatar. He couldn't have anyone for that matter, He couldn't have any attachments because not only did they prevent him from controlling the Avatar state but they distracted him form his responsibility. At first this upset him as anyone would be but he had to accept this. He was allowed to embrace people but not get attached and embracing was what brought true and pure happiness, while attachments brought happiness through ones greed that would escape when you could not embrace it. He remembered a time when he would have laughed at the word duty. Actually he sometimes still did.

"Lets get back to the game," said Iroh calmly. "Sorry Zuko, you have to sit in her lap, don't be a baby and sit in the girls lap."

"How long do I have to sit there?" he inquired, not budging from his seat. Iroh took the card that Zuko was still clutching in his slender fingers.

"It says till your next turn," Iroh told him after reading the card. Zuko groaned. "What's the matter? Is one turn in Katara's lap not long enough for you?" Aang let a small chuckle escape his chest.

Zuko threw himself on Katara's legs. "What have you been eating, boy?" Katara asked with her usual mischievous smile that made Zuko feel so youthful. Zuko glared at her. "Just don't fart in my lap." Zuko's lips involuntarily twitched at this one. Zuko started to slip off of the chair. Katara didn't grab him like he expected and he fell off.

"You made me fall of," he said indignantly.

"Don't be such a baby Zuzu," Katara said. The word just fell out of her mouth and she instantly regretted it. Zuko however didn't.

"Where did you come up with that nickname?" Zuko asked curiously. He completely forgot the pain that nickname held. The way it felt like Azula was spitting out a dagger when she said the name. Around Katara the memories of Azula seemed to melt away.

"My turn!" Aang grabbed one of the cards. "'What is the scariest thing you have ever seen in your life?'" Aang read. "Iroh's ass." He looked at Iroh who looked a little sad when he heard the words.

"Just kidding!" Aang said quickly. Your ass is very nice; I mean…" he trailed of. He could feel his cheeks heat up in embarrassment.

"My turn," said Toph, freeing Aang from his awkward situation. It was a strange thing to on her part because she was actually enjoying it. She picked up a card and handed it to Sokka to read. His eyes slid across the card, widening with each word. He took a quick fearful glance at Toph then his eyes darted back over to the card. He sunk in his chair slightly remaining silent.

"I'm waiting," said Toph impatiently even though only a few seconds had gone by.

"It says, uh…what's your cup size," he spewed the first thing that came to his mind, instantly regretting it. Everyone glanced at Sokka in horror (accept Iroh who seemed to be enjoying this) all to afraid to look at Toph. Aang tried to sneak a glance at the card to see if it was true.

"It doesn't say that," said Aang as Sokka put the card against his chest to hide it. Toph raised an eyebrow.

"Yes it does, I just read it," Sokka said quickly, shifting his weight slightly.

"I don't know how well you could trust Sokka's reading skills." Said Katara. Sokka glared at her.

"Oh yeah? Well yo mama so fat that when she was born she gave the hospital stretch marks," He nodded vigorously; as if it were a well know fact.

"We have the same mother you know," said Katara.

"Wow Sokka, your smart with a capital 'C'," said Zuko drawing a giggle from Katara.

"Oh I know this hilarious joke guys. So a guy, walks into a bar…ouch," said Iroh randomly. The teenagers looked at Iroh, blinked, and then looked back at Sokka. Sokka's eyes flickered to Toph's face.

"S-so tell us, you have to. T-that's what the card says." He stuttered.

"No it doesn't, it says tickle the person on your left until they cry or urinate," Aang stated. Toph started to laugh.

"Looks like someone's afraid of the tickle monster," She said between snorts. The others started to laugh as well. Sokka's cheeks reddened.

"I'm not afraid," said Sokka.

"I am," Aang said. "I don't want Sokka's pee every where."

"Don't worry, Sokka will definitely cry before he pees," said Zuko. The benders' laughter hardened. Katara looked at Zuko, feeling glad that Zuko was being him self a bit more.

"I'll so urinate before I cry," The group laughed hard still, though I'm not sure why because I wouldn't want Sokka to urinate in the room of my inn. "Come on, Toph give it to me."

Then, with out warning, two hands of earth came out of the ground next to Sokka. They wiggled their fingers as if to stretch them out before the job. The group stopped laughing instantaneously. The earth fingers dove into Sokka's stomach at once. He laughed for a few seconds as the fingers groped his stomach, then the sobbing started mixing with the laughter producing an odd gurgling sound. The earth hands retreated back into the earth. Toph helped Sokka up. Aang noticed a look of worry briefly flash through her pale-green eyes.

"I'm sorry," she said as apathetically as she could. She embraced him in a hug as he shook against her chest. Then he let out a maniacal screech. Toph quickly threw him off of her chest.

"That was amazing Toph!" Sokka exclaimed. "You really should do that to the fire nation in the final battle!" Apprehensive shadows danced on the benders' faces.

The reason the group had been playing these games was to forget about the approaching battle. They had made a rebellion force at the southern air temple where they were heading. They had decided to take a week of at the inn; this would be there last break in months. This may have well been the last chance any of them would get to have a carefree time in a while.

"Let's get back to the game," said Aang indifferently. Sokka's comment made no difference to him, for he had been thinking about the final battle every waking minute of his time and the battle flooded his nightmares as well. The only time he could remember not thinking about it was when he was on the can the day Iroh made tea using a tealeaf high in fiber. Needless to say he was a bit occupied then.

But he had managed for the most part to turn his fears into images of unconscious fire nation soldiers and his dreams into victory banquets. "Come on guys, we can't waste an hour wishing we had another hour." He said determinedly.

"Your right," said Zuko. Everyone turned to Zuko, surprised that he was the first to agree with the Avatar. "Now I believe it is your turn Sokka. Sokka nodded and picked a card from the pile.

"'Tell a Yo Mama joke to the person across from you. This person was Zuko, sitting on Katara's lap. Zuko said to words that sealed the challenge.

"Bring it."

"Yo mama so fat, that instead of having lint coming out of her belly button she's got sweaters." The gaang roared with laughter. Sokka gave an aangish grin and lifted his eyebrows twice.

"Oh yeah? Well, Yo mama so fat that when she walks around in high hills she drills oil," Zuko's voice was followed by another roar of laughter.

"Oh, I got one I got one, Yo mama so fat, that when people see her they say I thought that flying bisons' were extinct," Even though Aang didn't have the special flare you needed to tell yo mama jokes the group bellowed with laughter none the less.

"Well Aang, yo mama so stupid, that if dynamite were brains she wouldn't have enough to blow her nose," said Toph, with the flare Aang lacked.

"Oh yeah Toph," said Katara, "Yo mama so fat that yo dad is still stuck up her pussy from last weeks whoopee." Zuko laughed so hard that he began to slide off of his chair. Katara felt pleased that he was enjoying himself with every one.

As he slipped the shaggy hair that had been obscuring Katara's view fell out off her line of sight, replacing it with the breezy brown eyes of Jet.
