Warning: If you are under fourteen, please exercise caution while reading this, unless you have been exposed to raunchy, hilariously crude comedies. I would be more specific but I don't want to spoil anything up ahead. I tried to make this chapter a mixture of comic relief and transformation for Katara. This is written kinda differently than the other 3 chapters, but I think this really reveals a lot about every character's personality. Enjoy :) Again...I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender!

I still wasn't sure if I wanted to go to Toph's party. I mean, I love her and all, but I wasn't sure if I could take being amidst her huge house and all the stuff she has…her TV, tennis court, swimming pool…? Sokka was at my side immediately, as though he had sensed my doubts. "Katara, you're worrying too much," he said. "You need to take a break from being our honorary mother and come to Toph's place with me and have fun for once! And have some good food."

"Sokka, will you shut the hell up about food?" I yelled. "Can't you be serious for once? You're trying to tell me you won't feel the least bit uncomfortable in a place where you know we can't afford half the stuff she has?"

"No," he said firmly with a serious tone that I had never heard him use before. "You know that Toph does not give a damn about how rich she is or whatever. Did you not see how pissed she was when Aang told us about her place? If you truly knew Toph, you would be able to tell if she cared about that or not. Haven't you thought that maybe it was her parents who invested in all that stuff and not her? If there's anyone you should blame for spoiling your view of this whole thing, it's Aang."

Wow, I never thought about it like that before. I have to hand it to Sokka, he may not act it, but he's pretty perceptive. "I never thought I'd say this, Sokka," I finally thought out loud, "but you're right. I guess it's just that I know that if I were as rich as she is, I'd want all that stuff too, and I'd probably be proud about it. That's all. But I'll definitely come. Where exactly does she live?"

"I dunno, Aang's going to call or text us when they're on their way," he shrugged.

"Wait a second," I stopped him. "When they're on their way?"

"Yeah, him and Toph," he said, not making a big deal out of it. "Don't tell me you have a problem with that, too?"

"No," I shook my head. Really, I didn't.

"Oh, what do you know, it's Aang," Sokka pulled out his phone from his pocket. "'Sup, Aang? Uh-huh. WHAT? NO WAY! Okay, we'll be right out." He hung up. "Guess what?"

I just stared at him.

"We're riding a limo," he squealed like a little girl. "A LIMO! How fucking cool is that?"

"Okay, Sokka, can we go now?"

"So now you're enthusiastic," he said, and led me out the door. "Ladies first."

"Hey, guys!" Aang greeted us as he opened the car door. "Toph's waiting for us at her house. She said she wanted to make sure everything was ready before you guys came, so she sent me in her limo to get you guys, since I know where you guys live. Come on in!" He took another look at us before continuing. "Oh, you might want to bring swimsuits. We're having a Jacuzzi session out in the back."

"Right on it, mister!" Sokka ran back into our condo to get our stuff.

"You excited, Katara?" Aang looked up at me with those big grey puppy eyes of his.

"I wasn't at first, but now, I can't wait," I smiled.

"I'm sorry about yesterday," he said. "Toph was really pissed at me for that, too."

"I could tell," I admitted. "And it's okay. I'm going to forget what happened and just have fun before we start school tomorrow."

"That's the spirit," he punched me in the forearm, similar to the way Toph did, but his punch wasn't quite as strong. It looks like he's picking up some of her habits. "We're also having a movie night afterwards, so you guys should plan for that, too."

"What movies?" I asked.

"I dunno, Toph's choosing them," he shrugged.

"Toph?" I was confused. "But she can't…"

"Don't ask how."

"All set," Sokka climbed into the limo with a black duffel bag in his lap. "Off we go!"

"Back to the Bei Fong estate, please," Aang called up to the driver, who waved his hand to signal that he got the message.

So Toph lived out in the valley, about fifteen minutes away from the city. That makes sense, because it'd be difficult to manage such a huge amount of land amidst a busy city like Ba Sing Se.

"We're here!" Aang's voice merrily chimed, and he was the first one out. "Toph, they're here!" he called out. He turned towards the limo. "Thanks, Chan, I'll call or text you when it's time to take them back." I presumed Chan was the driver.

I struggled to keep up with Aang and Sokka as they were practically sprinting towards her house up the one hundred meter path. Screw them for being able to airbend or for having long legs.

"Geeze, guys, any faster and you would've crashed through this door," Toph opened the door just in time for them to stumble right through the front. She was wearing a white tankini and boy short bottoms. "The Jacuzzi's out this way; follow me."

Her backyard must have been the size of an arena! Aang wasn't exaggerating; there was a tennis court, swimming pool, Jacuzzi, and a decent sized grass lawn for her to practice her Earthbending, I presumed. "Toph, I thought you can't swim," I suddenly said.

"I can't," she agreed. "But I can go in the Jacuzzi; since it's made of stone, I can still sense the vibrations around me. I can also dip my feet in the pool since my butt will be on the ground and I can feel the vibrations through there. The food will be ready in a minute; are you guys okay with eating while we're in the Jacuzzi? Just try not to get any food in the water; my parents will be pissed."

"Toph, thanks for doing this and all," I said, "but are you sure your parents would allow you to do this?"

"Sugar Queen, can you just stop fretting about that?" she said, her eyebrows furrowing. "You're spoiling the mood here. Plus, that's for me to deal with, not you. Stop making everyone's problems your own. You're gonna go insane."

"I'm sorry," I apologized. Why am I so bad at having fun? I can't recall ever having had fun after my mother got murdered. Wanting to keep my mother in my heart, I took on her role and took care of Sokka and Gran-Gran just the way she did. I've been scarred since then. I remember trying to run and get Dad, but not being able to. I just cried and cried and fell on my knees, until the assassin whacked me with his spiked whip on my back to make me be quiet. I didn't stop, and he must have whipped me three or four more times after that before Dad finally came and took care of him. I still have scars on my back from that day.

"Sugar Queen, you there?" I saw Toph wave her hand in front of my face.

"Yes, Toph, I was just…remembering something," I said quite distantly.

"Remembering what?"

"I'd rather not talk about it," I said slowly, before tears could start coming to my eyes.

"Here, have some food. You don't look too good," Sokka pushed a plate of teriyaki barbeque chicken and rice in front of me. "Or better yet, take it with you. It's MOVIE TIME! If this doesn't put a smile on your face, Katara, then I don't know what will."

"We're watching The Hangover," Toph grinned. "It's seriously the most hilarious movie I've ever seen." I just stared at her blankly. "Uh, hello, I'm not deaf, Sugar Queen! I get a pretty good feel of the movie by simply listening, if I may say so myself."

"Oh," I laughed. "My bad."

I don't get what they saw in that movie. I mean, those people in the movie are adults! Doug seems to be the only normal one. That brown bearded man is so weird. Why can't he be within two hundred feet of a school, or a Chuck-E-Cheese, whatever that is? And why is he getting made fun of for wearing a satchel? I wear one all the time. Why doesn't Stu just dump his girlfriend, who is clearly a heartless, controlling bitch? How the hell can Phil use "field trip money" for gambling? And finally, shouldn't they know better than to get wasted on the night before a big day like a wedding?

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Sokka and Toph were rolling on the floor laughing when Phil saw the tiger in the bathroom after Alan ran out screaming.

"Classic!"

"Wow, someone was wasted."

"Aw, what a cute tiger," Aang smiled at the screen, blinking his eyes.

"Really, now?" Toph glared at him.

The baby was cute, I have to say. But I can't believe they would make it do inappropriate things at the table, though! That is so degrading. I can only imagine what the poor child must feel. "Not at the table, Carlos," the guy with the beard, Alan, was making the poor baby masturbate.

Sokka giggled.

Toph laughed and clapped her hands. "Nice!"

Aang's mouth just dropped at the sight of it. "Wow."

"I'm proud of you, Twinkle Toes," Toph slapped him on the back. "You're becoming a man."

The movie was starting to grow on me the moment they stole the police car and drove it like maniacs on the sidewalk. "Woman in the leopard dress," Phil called out through the megaphone, "you have an amazing rack."

"What's a rack?" Aang asked, in all seriousness.

Sokka pointed to my chest.

"Wait, so he's saying she has a nice chest?"

"What's below a woman's chest, Twinkle Toes?"

I laughed at Aang's reaction as he literally put a fist to his mouth. "Relax, Aang, it's just a movie. Enjoy it. I know I am."

About forty-five minutes or so further, a naked man (who looked like he could be from the Fire Nation, but lacked the golden eyes) jumped out of the trunk and started hitting one of them on the head.

Aang let out possibly the loudest scream. "AHHHHHHHHHH! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! I HAVE BEEN SCARRED FOR ETERNITY! Oh, I must consult with the monks on what to do about this madness." He began hyperventilating and ran out of the room.

By the time the movie had ended, I ended up really liking it. I just realized it took a little loosening up to enjoy the comedy of it. The tiger song was definitely the highlight of it all, as was the naked guy jumping out of their trunk. I'm not going to comment on the vulgarity of the pictures in the end.

"What do tigers dream of, when they take their little tiger snooze," Toph and Sokka sang, and I joined along with them, finally letting loose. "Do they dream of mauling zebras, or Halle Berry in her catwoman suit? Don't you worry your pretty stripped head we're gonna get you back to Tyson and your cozy tiger bed. And then we're gonna find our best friend Doug and then we're gonna give him a bestfriend hug. Doug, Doug, Oh, Doug Douggie Douggie Doug Doug. But if he's been murdered by crystal meth tweekers," we stopped for a dramatic pause. "Well then we're shit out of luck."

We laughed and hugged each other. For the first time in a very, very long time, I was having fun. I wasn't being a mother or big sister to Sokka, Aang, and Toph. I was just being plain old me, a fourteen-year-old waterbender with the three best friends that anyone could ever have.

Just so you know, The Hangover is one of my absolute favorite comedies ever, and I just thought it'd be cool to throw it in there since it's the type of movie that Toph and Sokka is likely to watch, given her personality. And as much as I don't really like Aang, he was so much fun to write in this chapter! It was also fun thinking about how Katara would react to the movie given her personality as well. I hope you liked the Hangover reference I made at the end :]
