Previous:
"Your bad girl!" Toph exclaimed as she whipped her head around to look at Zuko. Zuko's eyes widen and he just shrugged.
"She is making us ditch a class." Zuko snickered.
"You are ditching a class; we are ditching the rest of the day." Katara announced as she pulled out of the park lot and onto the street.
"The rest of the day!" shrieked Toph and Zuko as they looked at Katara with shock on their faces.
"Yep! Zuko will drive Sokka's car back to school and go to class. Toph and I will take my baby with us." Katara explained as she paused at the stop sign.
"Why in the hell do I have to go back to school?" Zuko sneered as he leaned back in the seat with a frown. This just suck, thought Zuko.
"Because someone has to take the car back and plus this is a girls day out." Katara responded as she kept her attention on the road.
"Well this just blows." Zuko mumbled as he mopped in the back seat.
Katara was at a stoplight when she looked at him in her rearview mirror and with a smirk on her face. "Aww, is little Zuko sad." Katara teased.
Zuko yelled and Toph laughed as she took off. Katara was just all smiles all the way home with Zuko yelling curses and Toph laughing her ass off. Katara leaned back and laughed to herself, this felt just right.
Now:
"Will you two hurry up?" grunted a voice as he looked at the girls behind him.
"You beg us to take you along, so I suggest you sit your ass down and wait patiently," One of the girls voiced as she put her hands on her hips. She looked at the boy and smirked. "I tried to get you to go back to school, but you wouldn't listen to me." The girl said to the boy.
The boy crossed his arms and sat into a chair near by. He mumbled under his breath and the girl just shook her head while she laughed. The girl walked back over the other girl and giggles rang out.
The boy slumped father into the seat. He had no idea the girls were going to go shopping like little kids. Zuko frowned when he thought that he could be talking with his friends right now instead of the girl's sidekick.
Katara had driven them to store that was huge and Zuko thought he was going die. He had no idea Katara was going to take Toph shopping. Katara and Toph had been all laughs and acted like best friends. Of course, he was the butt of all jokes the girls told.
However, he saw a difference in Toph. He had been watching the girls closely as they browsed through the clothes and smiled to himself. Zuko was happy that Toph was smiling and having fun. He had never seen Toph this open with another person before, let alone with a girl. He didn't peg Katara as the shopping girl, but here she was shopping. Zuko looked at the girls and saw that their arms were full of clothes. He gulped and sighed when he realized that he didn't have to help any of them.
Zuko turned his head to see a young couple shopping together. The woman had a dress in her arms and was pulling her boyfriend towards the dressing rooms. The man had a look of dread on his face. Zuko snorted at the couple and knew he would never be caught in that situation.
"Zuko, can you come here?" called Toph as she walked towards the dressing room. Zuko stood up and walked to Toph. He suddenly stopped and thought twice about walking towards the dressing room.
"You are going to sit your ass down on the couch in there and look pretty," said Katara as she stood right behind Zuko.
Zuko gave a dry laugh and asked, "Why would I do that?"
"Fine then. I guess you really don't want to see two teenage girls modeling clothes…well lack of clothes," whispered Katara in his ear. She walked towards the room while she swayed her hips.
Zuko's breath caught in his throat as Katara spoke. He could feel his palms get sweaty with the thought of seeing Katara in a swimsuit. He closed his eyes and stood still as he thought about his choices.
"So Zuko, what do you think?" a voice quietly asked as she walked out of her stall. Zuko glanced up and took a deep breath. He never saw Toph as more than a sister, but now he saw a woman standing there.
She was wearing a lime green strapless dress. The dress ended at her mid thigh and flared out. She wore green heels that gave her about three inches in height. Her hair was loose and framed her face. A gold necklace wrapped around her neck and gold bracelets lined her wrists. The only thing wrong with the outfit was the fact that the necklace looked backwards.
"You look smoking!" said Katara as she peaked her head out of the stall and looked Toph over. "Hang on a second…" Katara exclaimed as she walked out of the stall and towards Toph.
Zuko stopped breathing and his eyes got wide as baseballs. Katara was only wearing a blue lacey thong and matching bra. Katara walked over to Toph and fixed her necklace as if nothing was wrong.
"What the hell are you doing?" said Zuko quietly as he stood up and rushed towards Katara. He kept looking around the area to make sure that no people were around.
"What's wrong?" Toph asked seriously.
"Katara just walked out of the changing room with only wearing her underwear on!" Zuko whispered.
The two girls looked at each other and start laughing. Zuko stood there stunned and looked between both girls as if they were crazy.
"What is so funny?" demanded Zuko as he looked at Toph. He didn't dare look at Katara because he had a feeling that his eyes would wander.
"If you haven't noticed, we have this part to ourselves. There is only two changing stalls in here plus the couch and mirror. They separate the whole changing room like this so people can have their privacy," explained Katara as she tried not to laugh.
"And why are you complaining? Don't like the view?" teased Katara as she walked towards him. She placed her arms on his shoulders and leaned her mouth towards his ear. "I have a feeling that you are enjoying this, so why complain," Katara whispered.
Zuko groaned and tried not to let his hands wonder on her body. Her breasts were pushed against his chest and he loved the feeling.
"If you keep doing that Katara, he will have blue balls for the rest of the day," snickered Toph as she leaned against the wall. Toph could feel Zuko's body stiffen as Katara teased him with her body. She smiled to herself as she watched the two.
Toph had always been watching out for Zuko when she was close enough to feel him. She had never seen him this worked up about a girl and she liked it. Toph had a feeling the teasing would not be one sided for long and she hoped that Katara could take what she dished out.
"Toph! I'm done," Katara said as she walked out of stall and stepped in front of the mirrors. Zuko watched her and smiled.
The ocean blue dress flowed to the floor and if she lifted the dress enough, you could see silver heels. The strapless dress hugged her body like a glove. The dress didn't flare out until it hit her knees. The dress dipped down in the middle to show cleavage and she wore silver hoop earrings. The silver necklace was the same design as Toph's and she wore her hair up in a messy bun.
"Zuko describe what she is wearing, please," demanded Toph as she stayed in her stall.
"Why can't you come out here and see for yourself," asked Zuko and went silent. He had forgotten one small detail, and that detail was one of the main reasons they were here in the first place.
"Katara, you look like a sexy beast!" yelled Toph as she hit the door with her hands. Katara started cracking up laughing and held her stomach with one hand. Zuko let out a deep breath he had been holding.
Zuko described what Katara was wearing to Toph with detail and Katara would correct him every time he made a mistake. This went on for several different outfits and they all found a rhythm to it.
The trio of people sat down with a heavy sigh. Minutes earlier the two girls had armloads of bags and the boy had his share of bags too. Luckily, Katara had been smart enough to make them put the bags away in her baby before they went to the restaurant. A waiter walked up to the group and asked if they were ready to order.
"A garden salad with three green apples on the side. I would like a Coke to drink," said Toph.
"A BLT and add pepper jack cheese. I will have Dr. Pepper," stated Zuko.
"Just a strawberry lemonade please," voiced Katara.
"That's it?" Zuko and Toph voiced together. Katara just shrugged her shoulders and leaned back in the seat.
"Here comes trouble," Toph voiced quietly as she head dropped to the table and her eyes went to the floor. Zuko and Katara both looked and see another trio group walking towards them.
Azula was out in front with Tylee on her right and Mai on her left. Azula wore her hair up in a loose ponytail and the hair fell past her shoulders. The clip was that of the fire nation symbol, which matched her golden eyes. The red dress she wore came down to a little above her ankles but had a slit that run completely up one side on the dress and stopped at a little before her hip. The strapless dress V down between her breasts and glued to her hips. The 4-inch heels she wore were red and looked deadly.
Tylee wore cheerful colors compared to the other girls. Her pink dress was strapless and didn't hug too tight to her body. The top of the dress was line with orange as well as the bottom part of the dress that flared out. A little orange bow as on the dress and the pink heels went with the dress. Her hair was done in a ponytail and bounced every time they took a step.
Mai was wearing black combat boots and a little black dress. This dress was a complete cry of slut though. The dress was strapless and sat low so you got a nice view of her cleavage and ended mid-thigh. The dress was like a glove and completely showed every line and indent of her body. Her hair was up in a messy bun, held together by draggers.
Katara showed a face of sickness as they moved around the mall. She looked over to see Zuko glaring at his sister. He looked back at Katara and pulled at his cell phone. Katara looked down at hers to see it vibrating.
Z: Mayb we shld get goin
Katara nodded her head and got up from the table. Toph looked at her and shook her head. Katara looked confused and titled her head to the side.
"No. We were here first, I am not leaving. It would only go to show that I'm letting her get to me" announced Toph as she took a slip from her Coke. She sat it down and watched the ice cubes swirl around in her cup.
Katara sat down slowly and looked at Zuko. He shrugged his shoulders, not making a big deal about it.
"Zuko!" a voice yelled. The voice could only belong to Tylee. The group looked over to see the trio walking towards them. The clicking of heels was not the only dead give away to their arrival.
"Well this is strange indeed," commented Azula as she looked at each person at the table. Azula never thought she would see Zuko at the mall with a girl, yet alone two of them. She was also shocked to see the two girls were Toph and Katara. Azula would never have peg Katara as the shopping type.
"What's strange about three friends eating lunch together?" Zuko volunteered as he glared at his younger sister. Zuko watched her face twist into a frown to amusement.
"Since when are you three good buddies?" Azula countered as she placed her hand on her hip.
"Why do you care?" Zuko shot back.
"I care because you were able to get Katara to go shopping with you and when I tried to get her to go shopping with me, she never showed up," explained Azula as she glanced back over to Katara.
"Like she would be good at it," said Mai as she looked at nails. She would flick her hair occasionally.
"You would be surprise on what I can do," responded Katara with a smirk.
"You will always be second to me," sneered Mai as she glared at Katara.
"How much you wanna bet?" Katara questioned as she took a slip for her drink.
"We are going to be let for our appointment if we stay longer. Lets go, girls. Our nail appointment is waiting for us," Tylee jumped in. Katara watched as she took the attention off them and put it to good use. Katara had a feeling that Tylee broke up many fights between each girl.
The trio walked off, well more like stomped away. Toph got up and told them they had to get going home now. Zuko and Katara followed her lead and walked back to her car.
"I want you to train me," voiced Toph as they sat in the car. They had been driving for an hour now and it had been a quiet hour. Each person was in his or her own thoughts until Toph spoke up.
"Train?" Katara questioned as she sped up her baby.
"Under Ground Fighting, of course," said Toph with the look of duh on her face.
No one in the car was ready for when the breaks slammed in. Toph screamed and the seat belt jerked against her, holding her in place. Zuko slammed into Toph's seat and hit his seat hard. He held his face with one hand and shot a look to Katara.
"What the hell!" yelled Zuko.
Katara sat there in the driver's seat, panting lightly. Her grip on the steering wheel tighten, the nails digging hard into the wheel. Her eyes were widening as she took in a shaky breath.
"Don't ever ask me that," Katara said quietly. Cars had honked and passed them since they were stopped in the middle of a busy roadway.
"Why? You are the best fighter, you can train me," countered Toph.
"No!" Katara yelled as she slammed on the gas. Katara sped down the road and took the corners hard. Zuko sat there and looked at Katara. He could see the pain in her eyes when Toph talked about the fighting.
Before they knew it, Katara hit the breaks and they were in front of Toph's house. Toph slowly got out and got her bags. She shut the door and took three steps back before Katara hit the gas.
"Address?" Katara said as she took a corner hard to get back on the main road. Zuko climb into the front seat and gave her his address.
