Hey! Ruby of Raven here!
Sorry for not updating sooner. By the way, I do not own Avatar the Last Airbender or Paul Blart Mall Cop!
Chapter 7: Bad Guys, Bad Reputation
It's the end of the day and one of my newest friends is in the bathroom. So here I am leaning up against the wall of the boys bathroom waiting for him to come out. It was seeming like forever. Sadly, there was no magazines to help me with my boredom and I forgot my iPod at home. So that left me with only my cell phone and I didn't really know who to text because I only know the phone number of an overly cheery Aang, a pissed off Mai, an even more overly cheery and not to mention stupid Ty Lee, Sokka who's on the toilet, Suki who's Sokka's girlfriend, and Toph who loves to tease me about everything. None of them seemed like the person I should text in this situation. That left me with playing the lame games I had on my phone. They weren't very fun to play, but it was a way to past the time.
Finally I asked him, "Sokka, are you done yet?" To me it sounded like I was asking a little kid if he needed any help in there like some little kids mom would. God, I'm glad there's nobody else in here right now.
"No, not yet. I think my lunch didn't settle well. I have a upset stomach and-"
I cut the guy off. "Okay, okay! I get it! You'll be a while. You don't have to tell me all the details."
I heard a disgusting sound come from Sokka's stall. Let's just say I stepped a little closer to the door as a result.
"Sorry, for making you wait Zuko," I heard him say to me after a while.
"No problem buddy. It's not like I have to go back to work now that 'Hot Topic' has closed for the night and I have no plans for tonight either," I told him. I mean, I could go to the bank like Jet offered, but after what happened with Mai this morning and the fact that the job is most likely illegal, I think I'll pass.
"Good because I might be a while," he told me. Then I heard more disturbing noises. I was now up against the door to the bathroom trying to get as far away from his stall with out leaving the bathroom as much as possible. If anyone tried to go to the bathroom here they would be running right out as soon as they entered through this door.
I thought, 'Maybe I should have gone to the bank after all.'
"Katara!" Pakku yelled to me. He was standing by the entrance of his arcade that he runs here in the mall.
Pakku is my Gran Gran's new husband. At first we had some... misunderstandings, but once he found out that I was Gran-Gran's grandchild that all changed for the better.
Me and Toph walked over to him. "Hey, what's up?" I asked my grandfather.
"Could you close the arcade up for me? I just have to run down to the bank real quick," he asked us with a small smile.
"Of course we can! Right Toph?"
"Yeah sure. As long as I get to play some of the games," she said.
This got another smile out of my grandfather. "Go ahead. Katara, you're also welcome to play a video game if you'd like."
I smiled. "Thanks for the offer, but we have to meet Sokka in the food court, so we won't be staying long playing games."
"Well, okay then. Here's the key to the store. Just give it back to me at dinner," he told me, putting the key in my outstretched hand.
"Kay, see ya' at home," I said as he stared to walk towards the bank.
The only good thing about standing in line at the bank is that I get my pay check cashed. The bad thing about it is the waiting part, that for me, feels like it takes forever and not to mention Hahn keeps on hitting on me even though he knows I'm Sokka's girlfriend. I'm really staring to hate that guy, but good thing Aang's here to give me a distraction so I can at least try and ignore the suggestive glances Hahn's giving me.
I looked at the person in line behind me and frowned. It was Jet and behind him was Mai and Ty Lee. That jerk, Jet, cheated on my best friend! I defiantly hate him. My feelings for Mai and Ty Lee aren't much different, but that's for other reasons. Mai keeps trying to steal Katara's crush away and Ty Lee keeps trying to steal Sokka away from me and she was in bed with Jet while he was still dating Katara.
Jet caught me looking at him and gave me a flirtatious smile. It made me want to gag, but instead of doing that I just glare at him and turn back around to Hahn who was in between me and Aang.
Hahn leaned towards me and asked,"Is it just me, or did the room get hotter when you walked in?"
I scoffed at him and rolled my eyes. "You need some serious new pick up lines."
"Oh really? How 'bout this one? Are you a baker? Cuz you got some nice buns."
I rolled my eyes at him again. "Your getting better, but you still need some work on it."
"How 'bout-"
I cut him off. I was sick and tired of him and his lame pick up lines! When will this dumb ass get the hint that I'm not interested? "Will you shut up!" I yelled at him.
His eyes noticeably widened. I'm guessing he's not use to girls standing up to him like that. I smiled in triumph.
"Hey Katara! Let's play this game!" Toph exclaimed from over somewhere in the back of the arcade after I got all the people out of here and locked the door.
I walked over to where the source of her voice was most supposedly coming from. When I got to her this is what I saw before me: Toph, with a guitar from a game like Guitar Hero and a microphone.
"What's all this?" I asked her.
She shrugged. "Some rock and roll game where you can sing and play an instrument to just about any song you want," she answered.
"Okay?"
"Yeah, and there's a free game left over from the last guy who played it. You in for just one little game? I'm sure Sokka won't mine if we're a little late."
I smiled. "Sure. There's no harm in one free game," I agreed as I took the microphone from it's stand.
"Exactly, so go and pick out the song you wanna sing," Toph told me as she made sure the guitar strap was on right.
"Kay," I said as I started going through the song list. "Is it okay if I do this song?" I pointed to the screen where it showed the song I wanted to sing.
Toph smirked. "What ever makes you happy Sugarqueen."
So with that answer, I clicked on the song. Toph started rocking out on her guitar part then I started to sing:
'I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
You're living in the past it's a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do and that's
What I'm gonna do
An' I don't give a damn ' bout my bad reputation
Oh no not me
Over where some builders are building Santa's meet and greet spot...
The nine helpers/builders each nod to each other as the clock strikes eight o'clock.
One of them says, "Let's do this!" All of them stop what there doing and start to take off their work uniforms to reveal tons of tattoos and black clothing.
The most muscular of them all gets the shortest one of the group to hack into the mall's speaker system. The small guy hands a small mic to the much bigger guy. He takes it from him and says in a deep voice, "Sorry, but the mall will be closing early today. Please move to the nearest exit." Then he put the mic down.
Everyone in the mall that heard the announcement started moving slowly to the exits. This wasn't fast enough for the group of nine, so they pulled out their guns. This got some peoples attention, but not all.
One of the boys in the group raised his gun in the air and yelled, "Everybody out!" Everyone started running and screaming towards the exits as the members of the small group of nine started chasing them.
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station
An' I'm only doin' good
When I'm havin' fun
An' I don't have to please no one
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my bad reputation
Katara and Toph had been to busy rocking out on their game to notice the announcement to leave the mall or the people banging on the arcade widows trying to get their attention.
Katara was dancing while she sang:
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
I don't give a damn
'Bout my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
An' I don't really care
If ya think I'm strange
I ain't gonna change An' I'm never gonna care 'Bout my bad reputation
"Get out!" a girl with short brown hair wearing boys clothing and riding a skateboard said as she jumped on a bench with a guy siting on it. The guy and his friends ran from the skateboarding tomboy who held a gun in one hand.
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
Pedal boys!
After everyone was out of that part of the mall, the tomboy and her boyfriend, that never seemed to talk, put motion sensors on the doors. At ever exit in the mall, each of these group members were doing the same exact thing.
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my reputation
The world's in trouble
There's no communication
An' everyone can say
What they want to say
It never gets better anyway
So why should I care
'Bout a bad reputation anyway
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
All of the group members headed towards the bank.
Haru came running into the bank a few minutes after I stood up to Hahn.
He told us while pointing over his shoulder, "Yo! There's some crazy ass bitches trying to take over the mall." Everyone gasped.
"I'm leaving," Hahn said as he moved towards the door of the bank. Before he could get out, someone with a gun came rolling into the bank on a skateboard followed shortly after by some more people with guns.
"Everyone on the ground!" came a girls voice. I blinked. 'That's a girl?'
"I said, Everyone On the Ground!" she repeated, still holding her gun in the air. Everyone obeyed this time with their hands up, except Jet, Mai, and Ty Lee.
I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
You're living in the past
It's a new generation
An' I only feel good
When I got no pain
An' that's how I'm gonna stay
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my bad reputation
"What are you doing? Get down!" I whispered to them.
Jet looked down at me with an amused smirked. The girl who told us to get down on the ground tossed him a gun.
"Oh my god," I said in disbelief.
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not
Not me, not me
"Wow! That was fun!" I exclaimed to Toph after the song ended.
Jet took off his green jacket and put on a replica, but in black. "Shocked?" he said in a mocking tone. "I know, but here's the crazy part. I'm their leader, Ty Lee and Mai are my right and left hand women."
I was speechless.

Ruby of Raven here!
That song was "Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett.
Some of those lines where from 'Paul Blart Mall Cop' or were based off some of the movie.
Hope you liked this chap!
