Hey guys... I know, I know I haven't written anything in over a week! My poor widdle nose has been having these random episodes where it'll start bleeding a little, so I've had to tend to that.

Typing this right now because I am B-O-R-E-D. And mom and sis are watching some Muppets movie, so I'll basically have nothing to do for a couple hours... *pouts* I wanna watch Benjamin Button! *throws tantrum*

Anywho. ... *blink blink*

Ooooh, dad just came up and said mom and sis wouldn't be long; sis just wanted to show mom this one segment of the movie... so I'd better get typing! *claps* wait, why am I typing when I could be clapping? ... wait, reverse that. :D

Chapter 13

Another awkward silence.

"Soooo." I said. "... y-you know I was just... joking, right?"

Zuko was still giving me the death glare. Five minutes now. He must be getting tired, I would think...

"Heh... you don't REALLY think that I would say something like that if I was SERIOUS, right? I just said it to see what your reaction was!"

Zuko opened his mouth. "I-"

"PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" I screamed. ... wow, that was kind of random. Don't know where that came from... instinct, I suppose?

Then, Zuko did something that was... I can't say it wasn't Zuko-like. It was Zuko-like. But I've never seen him do anything that was this Zuko-like.

He hit me over the head with the curtain pole and walked out, mumbling something about "idiots" and "gotta catch him".

Man, I'm stupid.

"*chitter*"

I turned around. Momo again. "You always arrive like five seconds after he's out of earshot, don't you?"

"*chitter*"

Stupid lemur, messing up my life...

I stood up- I'm on the floor?- and immediately regretted it. As soon as the room stopped spinning as much, I sat back down and looked back over at the window.

Still there.

"Don't you have something else to do?"

"*chitter*"

"Go back to the Avatar!" I shouted.

Nothing.

"I'm sure he misses you!"

Nothing.

"I don't have any food!"

He flew back outside quicker than I could blink.

Well, that was easy...

I think I'll take a nap.

I managed to make my way over to my squishy, floofy bed and relaxed...

"*knock knock*"

Sigh. Maybe if I just ignore it...

"*knock knock*"

Go away...

"*BANG!*"

I opened my eyes to see... oh, who was that girl? A friend of the Avatar's, I think I saw her one day...

"Are you the one who keeps stealing Momo?" She asked.

"What? HE FLIES IN MY WINDOW AND WILL NOT LEAVE! And what did you do to my door?"

"I don't care! All I care is that Momo keeps disappearing in the middle of the night, and a few more times during the day! And every time one of us goes looking for him, we find him in your apartment. Twinkletoes is already despondent enough about losing Appa. We can't have Momo running off and staying in some stinky cabbage merchant's room!"

"Speak for yourself. You're getting dirt on my floor every time you breathe." I mumbled. "Besides, what should I do about it?"

"CLOSE YOUR WINDOW."

And with that, she was gone.

... and my door's still on the floor. She's not going to fix it? How rude!

Oh well, I might as well make a run to the store and get some... whatever I need to fix it.

I propped the door back up as best as I could and started walking.

It took me an hour and a half to get out of the building. Hey, don't look at me like that! The complex is like a maze! All these twisting and turning hallways... half are dead ends, the other half divide off into different hallways, and half of THOSE go off into different hallways...

But I managed to get out. Eventually.

All right, NOW I'm on my way to the hardware store!

... wait, I need money.

... aww.

-end of chapter 13-

I didn't want this to be the end, but:

1: I think it's actually a good ending. *gasps*

2: ... that's about it. :D I wanted this chapter to be, like, waaaaay longer... but... when I actually want to end a chapter, I get this cruddy little thing, but when I want to make the chapter longer, I come up with the perfect ending that ONLY FITS RIGHT IN HERE. GAH.

But anywho. XD

Thank you all for your reviews! *claps* I'm totally taking every idea into consideration! Without you guys, this fanfiction would be cruddy, cruddy, cruddy! (yes, I used three "cruddy"s. THAT'S how cruddy it would be.)

Soooo... see you next time I decide to write a chapter! Might be tomorrow... might be next month. :D
