Super Duper Short Chapter


"No, that's not right at all," Toph chastised Aang. Even though the war was over, she was not going to let him give up on learning earthbending. Now they stood in the courtyard at Zuko's palace, Toph with her hands on her hips and staring at the airbender with angry, sightless eyes.

"Why not?" shouted Aang. "That was exactly the way you showed me!"

"No. It wasn't Aang. You did the move right but you didn't really try; your boulder wasn't even close to big enough! You're doing a Boulder Toss with a freaking pebble! Stop being such a little girl and do it right!" She gave him a little shove in the shoulder that almost knocked him down.

"But what about Zuko's garden?" he nervously glanced around their location. It was an exquisitely maintained garden, and even the rocks were intentionally placed to create a tranquil and relaxing space. Aside from the boulder that Toph had moved to show Aang the move, that is.

"What about it, Twinkle Toes?" She shoved him again and Aang glared at her, obviously becoming angry; although she couldn't see it she could feel his pulse speeding up with anger. "It's just a stupid garden; the Melon Lord will be fine."

Aang sighed, still frowning with frustration and stepped back into his earthbending stance. With a deep breath he allowed himself to sense the ground beneath his feet, then, when he was ready, he took a step forward and stomped hard. This time, a boulder as big across as Aang was tall withdrew from the ground, and with a thrust of his palms, flew several feet back before landing with a tremor.

With a smile, the Avatar turned to Toph, who had her arms crossed and a small smirk on her lips. "Much better Twinkle—"

"MY GARDEN," screamed an elderly man that Aang recognized as the palace's gardener. Now he collapsed to his knees sobbing.

"Great job!" yelled Jiao-Jie. "Now come have some milk and brownies!" She indicated to food table. The gardener stood up and wiped his eyes, examining the food.

"That's it?" asked Sokka, shoving a brownie into his mouth. "Wafn't dat a bit showt?"

The author nodded as the two actors approached the table. "It's a Super Duper Short Chapter Chapter, Sokka, and sadly, this is long for a short chapter."

The Water Tribe boy raised an eyebrow, then shrugged and grabbed another brownie.


A/N: Here is the second chapter I promised! This is pretty long for a short chapter, but I think I got my point across.
Thanks again, everyone. =]
