Author's note: Hello fellow Twilight haters, Azula lovers, Kitten owners, etc. Speaking of kittens, one of mine is watching me type, so I gotta put in something for her in this chapter. I'll also add her sister, because I don't play favorites.
Chapter 8: The Crossroads of Destiny and Cats.
Summer walked through the halls. She had a clipboard that said she was supposed to be meeting Jun, which she did NOT look forward to. Jun and her were complete opposites. Summer was multicolored, and Jun was all black. Jun would kill somebody if she wanted to, and Summer would never hurt anyone. Summer sighed gently and she walked down a hallway.
MEOW!
To make matters worse, Fyre was having Summer babysit her kittens. There were only two, but two twin kittens are trouble. They were going crazy in her purse, because they had no space whatsoever and they were most likely hungry. Summer looked down at the bag, which was moving so much if she didn't know there were kittens in there, she would think it was haunted. A small black head peeped out of the top and looked at her, before the other kitten bit her, causing her to go back in.
"If I get ONE MORE letter from some crazed fan girl saying she didn't like the end of Book 2, I think I'm gonna explode." Summer instantly recognized the voice as none other than Prince Zuko. Awesome, she could harass him again.
"And everyone thinks we had a 'Zutara' moment. I was offering to help you! That's all." Katara's voice responded. Two characters to harass, bonus.
Summer rounded the corner behind her to see Aang, Katara, Azula, and Zuko walking down the hall away from the TV room. All four instantly stared at Summer and screamed. For those of you wondering, all four of them have starred in Summer's story.
"Aw. You remember me!"
Zuko banged his head up against a wall, Katara and Azula exchanged a glance, and Aang stood there with an 'I don't know what's going on' look. Aang hadn't had his own chapter yet.
"What do you want with me again? Stalker!" Zuko shouted randomly. Four heads turned to look at Zuko, "What? You guys didn't have her go into your dressing room, stalk you, find out your password for your computer, and then call you an Angry Jerk!"
Summer smiled knowingly while everyone else stared. Summer looked at her bag, which shook madly. It seemed to get heavier every time one of the small animals hit the side. Summer sighed gently, thinking about how she had to meet Jun in a moment. Summer instantly thought of an idea, "What if I help you guys? You were talking about "The Crossroads of Destiny", right?" they nodded.
"Oh no. I am NOT being in one of Fyre's chapters AGAIN. I just did one like, five minutes ago!" Azula complained, motioning towards the TV room.
Katara nodded, "I've been in as many as you, Azula, and so has Zuko. I don't trust Fyre anymore. Not after her random temper tantrum about Twilight. Her nice friend told me all about it, and it's not THAT bad. I mean, it sounds kind of sweet."
Summer stared at her, "Seriously? You're crazy! Panakin's just obsessed. Anyways, please let me help! I think it would be fun, and I could give it to Fyre, and she could use it in her story! Come on, don't you guys want to help save the fandom?"
Azula, Katara, and Zuko sighed. Aang's grin stretched from ear to ear, "They're in!"
"WHAT?"
Summer laughed at the expression on the teenager's faces. They were boiling hot with anger at the Avatar, who took a few steps back. Summer watched as the three advanced and pounced on Aang like crazy, angry…
Kittens. Summer looked at her bag as two tiny heads peeped out and looked at her. "Whose dressing room is the closest to here? These two are getting restless." Summer said, pointing to the tiny heads.
"Mine." Aang said slowly as Katara began to go crazy over the little animals. Azula simply snorted, but Summer did notice Azula looking at them out of the corner of her eye with a 'They're so cute!' look. The five walked to Aang's room, and once they got there, Summer let the cats free. They immediately jumped on the couch and plopped their little bodies down. They watched with huge eyes as Katara came towards them.
Katara picked up the little black and white one, "You are so cute! What's your name? Fuzzy?"
"I think that one's Sophie, the other one is Lily." Summer said as Azula sat next to Katara. Azula began to stroke Lily's soft, white fur. Zuko chuckled at the irony, the wonderful irony. Azula glared at him before returning her attention to the little fuzz ball.
Summer pulled out her laptop and pulled up her word document she had put all her Zuko tips on. She went down a few spaces and then put, 'The Crossroads of Destiny'. She went down a few lines and stared up at Zuko.
"Why is it always me?" Zuko whined like a three-year-old girl.
'What if I had gone to the good side?
What if I hadn't been captured by Azula?
What if I defeated Katara after Azula defeated Aang?
What if I 'killed' Aang?'
Azula laughed, "Like anyone will care about your silly ideas! I mean, you turned to the good side anyways, so that one doesn't make sense, and of course you got captured by me! You were stupid enough not to jump off the building!"
Everyone stared at her. Azula returned her attention to the ball of white fur.
Summer smiled, "But that's the fun Azula! These ideas don't happen, so they're fun to try out! That's why they're called 'What if's'. What if Lily suddenly bit you, but her bite made you a mutant?" Azula instantly pulled her hand away from Lily. "Azula, it couldn't really happen, unless she was rabid, and I think Fyre would have mentioned that." Summer said quickly.
"I don't." Katara mumbled.
Summer glared, "Aang! You're up."
'What if I had mastered the Avatar state and defeated Azula?
What if I had died from the lightning?
What if we couldn't find Katara?'
Summer nodded, "Nice ones Aang."
Zuko nodded as well, "Summer, do you have any tips for 'What if' stories? There aren't really that many out there, but a lot of the ones that do exist are a little weird." He added the last part shyly, afraid of any fan girls who had written 'What if' stories.
"You want me to make one of my wonderful lists?" Summer asked excitedly. Zuko nodded.
Tips for What ifs.
Set it up people! Don't just expect people to know what episode/what part of an episode you're talking about! Just saying "The Crossroads of Destiny" doesn't help either.
Make it realistic! Sometimes people go a little crazy with their 'What if' stories. Mutant kitten bites crazed Fire Nation Princess. Could it really happen?
Have fun! Best tip on FFN. Some people get stressed on updating so much they don't even enjoy their own story anymore. Make sure YOU like it, and others will too.
"I love your lists. They're the only thing I enjoy about your story." Zuko smiled. Next thing he knew he had a black eye. Don't ask how, this is a K+ zone.
"Katara, you have any ideas?"
'What if I couldn't heal Aang?
What if I healed Zuko's scar? What if he still betrayed us? What if I wasted the water, because it didn't work?
What if Aang and Iroh didn't barge in right then?
What if Zuko wasn't thrown in the same place as me?'
Summer looked at her lists of ideas, "That all?"
Zuko gave his little sister a smug look, "Azula hasn't contributed yet!"
Azula looked up from the tiny animal sitting in her lap. The white kitten was purring away as Azula scratched her small black head. Everyone stared at Azula, who glared at her older brother, "I'm gonna murder you."
'What if I was wrong and the Dai Li stayed loyal to Long Feng?
What if something else happened in my plan that caused it to not turn out well?
What if I wasn't able to defeat the Avatar?
What if Mai and Ty Lee fought with me in the Crystal Catacombs?'
"Let's let Azula play with her kitten, and not bother her." Summer teased. Azula set the kitten down and stood up, causing everyone to become silent quickly. Summer walked over to the couch and picked up the babies, then placed them in her bag, "I gotta go. See you guys soon!" She ran out the door, leaving Azula with Zuko, Katara, and Aang, and good reason to kill them. This is a K+ zone, so I will end there.
Author's Note: Yay violence and kittens! And O.O.!
