A/N: Hi ya, guys! Happy April Fools' Day! Prank anyone? I did! MWAHAHAHA!
So I decided to give you a little something, today being a holiday and all! I didn't do one for St. Patricks' Day, Valentines' Day, Martin Luther King Day, not even Memorial Day! … Oh wait, that hasn't come yet. This is real short, and I didn't put much effort into it. I wrote it in less than two hours. I think it came out okay, though. Enjoy! (:
Disclaimer: I OWN Avatar! I made up everything! I live in the Nickelodeon studios, too! APRIL FOOLS! haha, I got you!

Papaya
Aang had a terrible problem on his hands. A horrible situation, to be exact. He needed to plan this out perfectly; any flaw could ruin the balance of the whole world! Well, at least his own little world. After many migraines and headaches later, the boy came up with a plan… to KILL her! Cue dramatic music. The overdose of horror films had definitely gotten to him. Aang decided to go on a quest, searching for the only one who could help him. Little did he know, this "guru" of his, wasn't the best, he wasn't even officially qualified!
A man with a beard sat cross-legged on a carpet of cushions. The bald boy approached tentatively, hoping not to disturb the solitude the wise man was meditating in. He tip-toed his way to the professor of sorts, not even making a sound.
"Why is it you have come?" the man intrigued, opening his eyes. It was as if he were physic!
"I need some advice…," Aang started, not questioning his awesome abilities.
"Yes, what is it?"
"There's this girl…"
"Ahh, that Water Tribe lass. Quite a skipper."
Aang raised an eyebrow to that remark. It was very strange for Katara's own brother to say such an unusual comment about her. And what was with the weird vocabulary?
"Sokka, help me! I think I need to confess my undying love to Katara!" the monk cried out.
This did not surprise the older boy disguised as an all-knowing guru in the least bit. He had know about the Avatar's little crush on his little sister since the beginning of time! … Actually, it was when Toph told him a few months back. That was beside the point. Sokka was going to help his dear friend Aang with winning the heart of Katara and all would prevail! This would totally go down in the history books.
"I will help you, young airbender, on one condition…," he began in tone that just screamed, 'Believe me and Katara is yours.' Sokka motioned for Aang to lean in closer, what he was about to tell him, it would not be tolerated if any eaves droppers discovered their plot.
Many whispers later…
"Of course it'll work, Aang!" Sokka said, giving the young boy courage. "Katara loves jokes! Belive me, I know!"
"Okay… If you say so…," the monk replied, still not convinced. He walked out of the room, telling himself what the plan was and to remember every single detail.
As soon as Aang left and was out of ear shot, a mysterious figure stepped out of the shadows.
"He fell for it," the person said.
"Sure did!" the Water Tribe boy smiled happy. "And I get to wear the suit. Sweet deal!"
"You are so pathetic, Snoozles," the voice replied. "You dress up as a guru or whatever and decorate your floor with pillows! I bet you were gonna fall asleep right when Twinkle Toes came! Good thing I hit you with that pebble, otherwise you wouldn't appear as a bigger dork."
"Hey, that was no pebble! It was more like a boulder!" Sokka protested. The duo left the area, bickering.
A few days later…
The Water Tribe teenager strolled down the street peacefully, smelling the sweet spring air. She was on her way to the market. Aang had told her to meet her there, said he wanted to show her a special fruit. She was about five blocks away from the market when she had that feeling. The feeling where someone is following you.
Katara peeked a quick look behind her, and sure enough someone was walking right behind her. She gasped. Her step quickened to a fast past. A bead of sweat dribbled down the side of her face. Something horrible was stalking her. She turned a corner abruptly, hoping to loose the stalker.
The thing was right on her tail. It wobbled with incredible speed to catch up with the girl. It was a giant fruit, a creepy smile painted where its face might be, and wild eyes looking straight at her. On the inside, it cackled a somewhat evil laugh—coughing and clogging its throat in the process. It kept up with the girl.
Katara looked back one more time, finding that her predator had caught up. It was within grasp of grabbing her by her braid. Hesitantly, she turned around, facing the menace.
"Who are you, Papaya? Who sent you?" she questioned, trying her best to hide her fear. Ever since she was a little girl, papayas always had been her least favorite fruit.
"The question is: Who are you?" it replied.
"No, no, no. I asked first."
"I am more bigger. Answer me!!"
"That doesn't matter!"
"It does!"
"Enough!" the papaya yelled, clearly irritated. "Take this, you pond scum!" The arms of the fruit flew out in front of it, as if pushing a large box. At that moment, a gust of wind seemed to have blown for its fingertips and send Katara flying to a wall.
She recovered easily from the attack, but a horrified expression was glued to her face. It was that day so many years ago! She could not relive it, not again! She ran off in fear, forgetting about Aang and the market.
"April Fools'!" a voice called out to her. Too bad she wasn't using her senses.
Back at the scene, the papaya's "head" was taken off. Inside stood a content Sokka. He was grinning from ear to ear.
"That doesn't look like she likes pranks." Aang stepped out of a nearby alley.
"Don't let this fool you, Twinkle Toes." Toph had suddenly appeared out of thin air. "Katara is very good at concealing her true feelings. You'll see, when she tells you all about this little episode."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive," the partners in crime reassured simultaneously.
