For the pure reason of being safe I would like to mention that I do NOT own Wal-Mar and Starbucks as they do belong to their respective owners

Sokka's lawyer/fan: I thought the meaning of life was 42 cause I looked it up on Google XD But I guess that's where it originated from!

Nevermore The Living asked a good question: How did Toph write the list? Well I suppose she has a computer with a Braille keyboard.

ANNNNND instead of a full-scale battle between X-Men and Gi Joe there's one between Transformers and X-Men

The Meaning of Life

Chapter

Operation: WAOMC

-

1. Take shopping carts for the express purpose of filling them and stranding them at strategic locations. TOPH/SOKKA

-

"Ok so you have the cart full of balls?" Toph asked Sokka as he rolled by, his cart full of balls, little ones and beach balls of every shape and color.

"Indeed…you have the cart full of heavy stuff?" Toph pulled out a cart filled to the brim with a random assortment of heavy stuff, "Ready?" Sokka asked positioning his cart in the middle of an aisle.

"Ready." She and Sokka pushed the cart of heavy stuff towards the balls. It hit the cart on it's side pushing it over and sending dozens of balls bouncing through the store.

Sokka and Toph ran.

-

2. Ride those little electronic cars at the front of the store. TOPH/SOKKA/ZUKO/AANG

-

Luckily enough for their gang there were 4 cars, and everyone could fit, Zuko was in a truck while Aang was in a red racing car with Toph beside him in the same car but in black. Sokka was stuck with the ice-cream truck and was hunched over looking brooding.

"Ridem' Cowboy!" Toph yelled and placed the quarter in the slot.

By the end of the task they had spent 5 dollars collectively and had a crowd of 30 people watching. When Toph got off she merely brushed herself off and said in an officially tone to the crowd, "They have passed the safety test. Don't drink and drive." And walked away Sokka, Aang and Zuko following.

-

3. Set all the alarm clocks to go off at ten-minute intervals throughout the day. AANG/ZUKO

-

"Hey di…" Sokka called over to Aang and Zuko who were running.

Aang put a hand against Sokka's mouth to stop the sound and whispered, "Listen". The group went quiet and somewhere in the 'Home' section beeping could be heard.

"Nice."

-

5. Contaminate the entire auto department by sampling all the spray air fresheners. TOPH/ZUKO

-

"Hmm what about vanilla Zuko?" Toph said sniffing at the spray.

"Well I'm thinking more of an 'Exotic Lavender' myself."

"Can I help you?" a middle-aged woman wearing the traditional red vest was walking towards them.

"Yes you can. I'm curious as to which scent would be the best for a newborn baby?"

The salesperson was stunned and before she could respond Zuko cut her off, "Never mind, we will simply need to test every single one."

Till this day they say that the potpourri, pumpkin, rose, new car, vanilla, lemon and cinnamon smell still wafts around the aisle, no matter how many times they tried to clean it.

-

6. Challenge other customers to duels with tubes of gift-wrap. ZUKO/TOPH

-

"You there!" Zuko said pointing at a random person in the aisle. The man looked frightened but listened anyway. Zuko walked over and from his belt loop whipped out a tube of gift-wrap, "I, Zuko Sozin, challenge you to a duel! Now EN GARDE!"

Before the man could do anything Toph came running into the aisle.

"My name is Toph Beifong, you killed my father, prepare to die!"

-

7. Re-dress the mannequins as you see fit. AANG

-

"Annnnnnnnnnd DONE!" Aang stepped back and admired his work.

The mannequin now wore what seemed to be a mix of Carrie from 'Sex and the City' meets Star Wars.

Sokka was smart enough to take a picture of Aang and his new friend, which he so kindly dubbed, "Azula." In honor of her, one might say, 'festive' wear.

-

8. Tune all the radios to a polka station; then turn them all off and turn the volumes to "10". SOKKA/ TOPH

-

"Excuse me…" Toph's little helpless blind girl act was in full operation, the young man on the other side of the counter looked up, "Can you help me?" she asked innocently.

"Of course I can Miss." He came around the counter, "What do you need help with?"

Toph's voice was tiny and she fidgeted with her fingers, "Well you see I'm blind and am looking for a radio but I can't turn them on, me being blind and all."

Sokka could see the youth's eyes soften as he led her to the radios. He could see the employee's mouth moving as he reached for the power button.

"HEY! THIS IS 100.5 POLKA ALL THE TIME ANYTIME!"

The boy's hair was on end while he fumbled for the volume button. Toph was laughing so hard the snorting was almost louder than the polka.

-

9. Play with the automatic doors. ZUKO/SOKKA/AANG/TOPH

-

"No, no come inside!" Aang said standing right between the doors.

"WHAT!?" Sokka yelled through the other door.

"INSIDE!" Zuko yelled from another set of doors.

"WHAT?!"

-

10. Ride a display bicycle through the store; claim you're taking it for a "test drive."

SOKKA/TOPH

-

"Tally HO!" a old lady turned around inn time to see a girl with raven hair, jeans, a t-shirt and a toque ride by on the back of a bike being steered by a tanned boy with a blue sweater, jeans and a cowboy hat.

Later she checked herself in to the psycho ward.

-

11. Follow people through the aisles, always staying about five feet away. Continue to do this until they leave the department. ZUKO

-

"The pink one is nicer…" Zuko's head was hovering just at shoulder level near a VERY attractive female. Which made it even better was the fact that she was bra shopping.

"Umm."

"No wait!" Zuko made his way over to the extra large 'DD' bras and chose a bright blue one. "THIS ONE!" he squealed.

Even today you can still see a bit of a red tinge were he was slapped. As a memento Aang bought him the bra.

12. Play soccer with a group of friends, using the entire store as your playing field. ZUKO/AANG

-

"GO LONG!"

-

13. As the cashier runs your purchases over the scanner, look mesmerized and say, "Wow. Magic!" SOKKA/AANG

"Sokka! You gotta check this out!"

"Wow…that's trippin'!"

"I'm going to have to ask you to step away from the scanner.

-

14. Move "Caution: Wet Floor" signs to carpeted areas. ZUKO

-

"HOLD ON YOU GUYS!" Zuko threw out a arm catching the other three in the chest, "we have to walk slowly, as you can see, it's wet right here! Aang we told you to take your 'potty' in the bathroom not on the floor." Zuko took a rolled up newspaper and started whacking Aang over the head, "Bad Aang. Bad!"

-

15. Set up a tent in the camping department; tell others you'll only invite them in if they bring pillows from Bed and Bath. AANG/SOKKA

-

"No Toph, we already told you this is a Boys Only Slumber Party!"

"Do you want the new pillows from the Bed and Bath?" she asked gesturing to the catrful of pillows, "Or do you want me to tell you how gay the Boys Only Slumber Party sounds?"

"Pillows please!"

-

16. Drape a blanket around your shoulders and run around saying, "I'm Batman. Come, Robin, to the Batcave!" ZUKO/AANG

-

Wal-Mart may have regretted the day they got the new costumes in.

Zuko jumped down from the shelves, "I'm Batman! Come Robin!" Aang jumped down from another shelve, "TO THE BATCAVE!"

17. Randomly throw things over into neighboring aisles. TOPH

-

"You know…I'd really like some Cheerios right now." Ty Lee said to Mai. Out of nowhere a box flew over from the other aisle.

"Wow!"

-

18. When someone asks if you need help, begin to cry and ask, "Why won't you people just leave me alone?" TOPH

-

"Excuse me I just need to get by." A mother carrying two twins girl both with barbies with no had tried to squeezed by Toph.

"WHY WON'T YOU PEOPLE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!?"

"Mommy…that girl is cwazy!"

-

19. Take up an entire aisle in Toys by setting up a full-scale battlefield with Transformers vs. the X-Men. SOKKA/ZUKO

-

"Black Out…Come in Black Out."

"This is Black Out reporting. Deceipticon…MOVE OUT!"

"Wolverine they're coming…"

"Let them come Professor X…" he whipped out his claws, "let them come."

Sokka and Zuko added their own sound effects while people ignored the aisle.

20. Hold indoor shopping cart races. SOKKA/TOPH vs. ZUKO/AANG

This got him a punch from both of them.

-

23. Two words: "Marco Polo." ZUKO/TOPH/AANG/SOKKA

-

"Marco!" Toph said blindly running around ears alert for her prey.

"Polo!"

"POLO!"

"Olop!"

Toph ran around the corner and ran smack into Katara, "Toph!?"

"Ohh there's my contact!" Toph said bending down and picking up some invisible dirt.

"Oh haha, you're blind." Katara said, crossing her arms.

Toph applauded, "Wow it only took you this long. Good job Sugar Queen." Before Katara could bite back Toph ran far far away most likely to the MacDonalds.

"I'm looking for 'The Beatles: A Collection'. Do you have it?"

"If y'all just like follow me I'll bring ya like right there!" The valley girl ran her manicured nails against the cases, her blonde hair bouncing as her strutted.

"Hmm it's like not like here…"

Aang attempted to look puzzled, "Hmm a mystery indeed…"

Somewhere in the store a voice echoed, "NOT MY CABBAGES!"

27. Relax in the patio furniture until you get kicked out. SOKKA/TOPH/ZUKO/AANG

-

Sokka and Toph were sharing a seat while Aang and Zuko were laying casually on the plastic grass.

"This definitely will go down in my favorite day book."

"Umm Sokka…" Toph's face blushed slightly, "Your arm is…"

It was around her shoulder, Sokka didn't mean to it just kind've happened…

"Excuse me…I've lost my child, do you think you could call them over the loudspeaker?"

The kindly manager happily obliged, "What their name?"

"Um…Caitlin?"

"Great!" he reached for the and his voice echoed around the store, "Caitlin? Your Dad's…"

"NO, NO! It's those voices again!" Sokka was sucking his thumb rocking back and forth on the ground, "Not gonna let them get me this time, nope not this time."

"Byyyyyyee!!!"
