"Undermine"

A/N:Thank you so much to Axle3610 for the story ideas. You rock!
And now, to apologize or the updates. You might have noticed that my updates are sort of random... and kinda scattered / all over the place. This is kinda due to the fact that the school teachers have decided we are officially out o "Happy break time" (Pshh... Yeah right.) And assigning homework... Gasp... Need a book on platypuses by next week. XD... Did that sound as mental to you as it typed for me...? I started... Then completely forgot. XD
I made it as long as I could without making it completely boring to pay you guys back. Sorry!

And another thing - WHAT IS IT WITH ME AND CAFEEEEESSSSSSS!!!! XD
It was a rather nice day that day, when we were stopping in that small town for supplies. Honestly, it was supposed to be a quick stop-buy-leave sort of thing. We walked into town, me hanging onto Sokka's arm as usual, and Aang and Katara walking step-in-step having a seemingly interesting conversation.
We stopped at a small cafe for lunch (Sokka's stomach happened to grumble again). One of the waitresses came up to serve us. She quickly took our orders, and hurried to the counter to place them.
When we had finished our lunch, Sokka happened to be in an unusually pleasant mood.
As we were walking down the street, we saw a stall that seemed to have the majority of the things we needed for the next few weeks. We bought them, and when we turned around I was surprised to see (or feel, if you prefer that) a girl walking up to Sokka.
She was most definitely older than me, most likely Sokka's age. She was (from what I could tell from a general overview) rather pretty.
She seemed to walk with a regal air, elegant, yet her footsteps were light and quick. She walked like a girl. Her arms swung by her sides when her body moved, like a gust of wind.
"Hi there, handsome. What's your name?"
I almost fell over in surprise when I heard that. So... outright. I came to a conclusion that she was hitting on Sokka. Wait...
She was hitting on Sokka?
I woke myself up just in time to hear him answer.
"Sokka, what's yours?"
It was enough for her to flirt with MY Sokka, but it was even more for him to ANSWER her stupid questions.
"Sokka, let's go," I said, tugging on his sleeve. I wanted to get away from (seemingly) sly questions, and this girl that was trying to seduce him.
"It's Lang," she said, smiling. Where were Aang and Katara! I looked around, and saw them continuing to walk down the marketplace, probably forgetting about us.
Where were they when we ACTUALLY needed them! I heard the evil girl's voice, and I let it snap me out of my trance.
"Ooo..." She crooned, "You have such a cute little sister!"
I let go of Sokka's sleeve, and glared straight into her eyes (or where I guessed they were) with a look that would have sent the Fire Lord HIMSELF running. She was completely unfazed. She patted my head, and with a fake smile, said, "How cute!"
I swear I would have killed her if she did that again.
"So... Sokka, was it? Do you have any plans for tonight?"
I take that back. I swear I would have cloned her, tortured her, and cloned her again so I could kill her more than once.
"Um... No?"
What do you mean by "No" you IDIOT! We were supposed to leave tonight! I don't wanna stay in a Fire Nation town with that GIRL!
Instead, I went for a "cuter" approach.
"Sokka, can we leave tonight! I don't really like this town..." I directed this comment at the girl, who was AGAIN unperturbed. Instead, she ignored me and said,
"Would you like to go to dinner with me tonight?"
Say no, say no, say no, say no, say no, say no, say no, say no, say no, say no, say no, say no...
"Sure...?"
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...
"Sokka, we have to leave tonight, remember?"
"This is a perfect chance to gather information!" He whispered in my ear.
My eyes narrowed.
"What are you and your little sister talking about, Sokka?"
"Nothing we we-"
He was cut off by me.
"Nothing. And for good measure, I am NOT his little sister."
I walked off, dragging Sokka with me.
"Meet me here at 8:00, alright Sokka?" She yelled after us. With grace, mind you.
As we were walking off, I had a heated argument with Sokka.
"How on EARTH could you accept a date like that, Sokka! You haven't even MET her!"
"I know her name...? Plus, it's a perfect chance to gather information on the latest Fire Nation news!"
I glared at him.
"Fine."
He looked at me, surprised.
"Have fun on your date, Sokka!"
Stomping back to the hotel we were staying at, I muttered,
"But you haven't heard the last of me yet."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
He was getting ready for his "information gathering" and I smiled. Plan A, commence.
"Soo... Sokka, any idea where you're going?"
"Nope, I'm just going to meet her there, and see where she wants to go."
Got it. Just stal- I mean, follow him to wherever he's going!
I mentally slapped myself, and said,
"Out the door with you! Your lady friend is waiting!"
When he was safely out of earshot, I grinned.
"Time for payback."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And where, were Aang and Katara, at this time? Buying supplies. Who knew that armor for a flying bison would be so hard to find?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I was behind a cart, having gotten there before him. For starters, I was faster, smaller, and conned my way into getting a map to show me shortcuts all around the city. Pulling the hood of my cloak on, I hid myself from view as he approached.
"Hi Lang!"
She smiled that devilishly evil smile at him.
"Hi, Sokka, ready to get going?"
He smiled back at her. At this very second I knew - This would be sweet, sweet revenge.
Grabbing a bucket of water, I followed the two. I hid under a stall, and I waited for the "couple" to pass by. At the exact moment those small, tiny, (miniscule, if you please,) feet in even smaller silk slippers passed by, I threw the bucket of water all over her feet, and quickly dug myself underground.
I almost cracked up when I heard her scream.
"OH MY GOD! MY SLIPPERS ARE RUINED! THESE WERE PURE SILK!"
I rolled me eyes. As far as I could hear, Sokka was panicking. Probably trying to avoid a girl fit. I grinned, when she "hermphed" and I quickly (and silently) shot out of the ground and quietly followed them. It looked like they were going to dinner, so I waited for them to enter and sit down to be sure. Going around the back side of the restaurant, I waited and listened to hear what they would order.
"I'll have the noodle soup special." said Lang.
"Anything with meat in it." I rolled my eyes, then grinned. I had some pretty good ideas flying around in my head.
Throwing off my cloak, I entered the kitchen. I was still listening on their conversation. He was asking rather secretive questions, but if you searched for the meanings, you could tell he was looking for information. Lang, on the other hand, was completely idiotic.
She rambled off about whatever he asked her, and she most certainly talked more than Katara when she was on her "Sokka is a sexist pig head" rants.
I swiftly ran into the kitchen, and snuck up on the sole chef who seemed to be snoring on a stool. For safety precautions (His, not mine), I tied him up, and shoved him in a broom closet. I found an extra uniform in there, and donned that.
Noodle special... right?
I went outside, and dug a hole. Just as I could feel, a small amount of worms were hiding in the damp hole. I shoved those into the bowl.
Noodles, check.
In a noodle special, there was supposed to be fish... I grabbed a raw fish from the shelf, and cut off its head and tail. Shoving the rest in the freezer, I dumped the head and tail in with the worms.
Fish, check. Hope you like eyeballs...
Soup, right? Right. I looked over, eyeing the mop water. She wouldn't mind if it was a smidge soapy, right?
Soup, check.
I put a little bit of noodle on top of the masterpiece so she wouldn't suspect it. I shoved it into the microwave. It beeped, and I placed a top over it after checking.
Yup, looks just like a very special Noodle Special.
Anything with meat...
I eyed the leftover meat. Tails, eyes, feet... Which one to pick...? I decided not to pick. I just took all of them.
I grinned. Boy, Sokka was in for it now.
I hesitantly poked a foot, but deciding I would play it safe, I grabbed a pair of gloves, shoved everything from the leftovers pile, and dumped it on a platter. I shoved it in the microwave too, waited for about a minute, pulled it out, topped it off...
Well, Sokka. You did say ANYTHING didn't you?
I grabbed it, shoved the two dishes on the waiter's cart, and said,
"That's for Table 5."
Hiding my giggling face, I walked promptly out of the kitchen after the waiter had left, and burst out laughing once nobody could hear me. I waited... Listened...
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
I cracked up.
I took off the uniform, and replaced it with my cloak.
"WHY ARE THERE WORMS IN MY NOODLE! I ATE A WORM!"
She continued screaming.
I listened a little longer.
"Hey, this is pretty good! What is it?" I started laughing even harder. I heard someone coming, so I hid myself underground again, but I could still hear...
"Sir, I'm not quite sure why, but I believe you are eating frog legs and chicken feet..."
I heard someone splutter.
"WHAT?!"
That was priceless.
"Sokka, I am NEVER going out with you AGAIN! There is a FISH HEAD in my Noodle Special!"
I smiled, and returned home.
The door opened.
"So, Sokka, how was your date?"
"Great! I got loads of information, and tried chicken feet for the first time in my life!"
I almost fell over.
"..."
"Um, Toph, are you okay?"
"I'm going to sleep."
Okay, so the whole thing worked out on HER side...
Sokka was a whole different matter.
Then again, that teaches her for trying to date MY Sokka.
It was at this point in my life that I noticed that I was rather possessive of my property.
