Hey, Listen!

My brother wanted me to inform you that Sprite is made from pixies that have been chopped in half, ground up, then carbonated.

Finally, a use for Navi!!

Anyone . . . ?

Fine.

So I read my last authors note . . . and I realize I went a little over the top. The state of my mental well-being was nothing you could really have helped. My procrastination just sort of caught up with me.

But reviews are still nice, and well-appreciated. I don't know if I ever thanked any of you guys properly for sacrificing your brain cells. So . . . Thank you, everyone. I'd paint you a picture or something, but since my art skills are rather lacking, I'll spare you.

Anyways, this is a throw back to way back in the first season, in the episode 'Bato of the Water Tribe,' though it actually takes place some time after the Western Air Temple, and it's complete crack. Katara's brainstorming for ways to get rid of Zuko, and she found one that just might work.

Up A Creek . . .

"Come on, Aang. You promised."

"No, you come on! You're bringing this up now?! I thought you were kidding!!"

"Yes, well . . . ." Katara trailed off, a slightly evil smirk gracing her lips as she steered the Avatar through the halls for his first — and hopefully his last — firebending lesson with his new teacher. "You'll live."

"Are you really sure about that?"

"Come on, Aang. I'll be here. You're perfectly safe."

"But why can't you do it?"

"Because," Katara groped around for an idea, "I asked you to." Before Aang could protest how ridiculous that was, she shoved him out into the open space they would be using for practice. "Go get him, tiger."

The things I do for love . . . "Um . . . Sifu Zuko? There's something Katara wanted me to give you . . . ."

. . . Without a Yaoi Paddle . . . .

"Aw, that's so sweet of Zuko. Would you give him a kiss for me when you see him?"

"Sure."

Well, that's just what you get for missing Ohayocon, Katara, but I could have sworn I saw you there . . . .

I know what you're thinking. 'No, Storm. Just no. You did not just write slash. You braindead son of an inkmonkey. Oh, no you didn't!' (The rest of you are going to bother me about being a homophobe, aren't you? Put your minds at ease, and just know I'm not) I thought I established that Katara and Toph are avid Yaoi readers a few chapters ago in another brain-crunch 'Oh no you didn't' episode of my insanity.

Anyways, I told you I broke my brain, and that much is true. It's part of the reason I didn't write what happened (And, rest assured, I have one).

This part of the Authors Note is actually Important!

The other part is that there are actually several scenarios that could have played out.

The first one was that Zuko spontaneously combusted right then and there. As for the reasons . . . you decide what suits your shipping.

The other scenario, which was my first idea, was that Zuko immediately leaves and begs for death from Azula.

The third is actually my favorite . . . Zuko 'plays along' because he's dense, and he thinks Aang is telling the truth. Fearing the thin ice he's on with the Ga(y)ang, he . . . well, you know.

And everything continues to go downhill from there. Toph can't believe her feet, Katara is suffocating on her own mirth, Haru's looking forward to a threesome, Sokka's dead, and everyone else has no idea what is going on.

Since, if Zuko died, I would be without a purpose in life, it has to be the third one.

I make Teo really stupid, don't I? So sorry. hugs Teo

The kittens want you to review. They really do, you know.
