Day 3 of Zutara Week is today. This could be a challenging one, but here I go.
Social Network
This story takes place in Modern day AU, so no one can bend
We see Zuko in his room, looking through textbooks with Katara, she had invited him over to her place to finish a school project. Katara looks through her notes and writes in her notebook.
Katara: Whew...how long have we've been working?
Zuko: (looks at watch) I'd guess two and a half hours.
Katara: I could use a break from homework
Zuko: heh, you? Little miss Honor roller?
Katara: Hey, I have to be a normal girl too. (Closes book) This can wait later, let's do something fun.
Zuko smiled and closed his books too.
Zuko: I know something fun we can do.
He crawls to her and leans in close to her face.
Katara: Hmm...could it be something like...this?
She leans in and kisses Zuko on the lips. Zuko leans closer and deepens it, holder her shoulders to keep her at her side. Katara wraps her arms around his body and opens her mouth to let the tongue enter. The two moaned with delight at their make-out session. Katara's eyes opened and that's when she saw the calendar on the wall, it showed that today is Monday. Her eyes widened and she pulled away.
Katara: Today's Monday! It should be posted by now!
She pulls away, making Zuko fall onto the ground with an "ooof." He looks up to see Katara on her computer.
Zuko: What should be posted?
Katara: The week's episode of "Red vs. Blue"
Zuko: You watch that too?
Katara: Oh yeah. Toph introduced me to it, and man is it funny.
She types in the website and it pops on the screen
Zuko: This one should be good.
Katara: They're all good.
Zuko: Well, that's true. Last week's was on a cliffhanger, let's see-
Katara: Aw man! It's just one of the PSAs, not an actual episode.
Zuko: Oh, they do this every time they hit a cliffhanger!
Katara: Oh well, we can use a few laughs.
Katara clicks the "play" button and she shares the headset with Zuko. A moment later they started laughing.
Katara: Oh That is classic! They used the Reach cinematics and put caboose in it!
Headset: "You look scary even though you are smiling. Hello nice lady who's also a robot."
They laughed louder at that, nearly loosing their breaths.
Zuko: Oh man...they've got to do this with the other characters.
Katara: Oh, that'd be even more hilarious.
She takes the keyboard and navigates to a comment box.
Katara: (typing) "This...is...hilarious. You...should...do this...with...the...other...characters." and send.
She hits enter and the comment gets posted. A moment later, another comment popped and it red "Yeah, totally." Katara recognized the screen name as "Blind Bandit."
Katara: Hey, Toph's online.
She opens a chat room and opens Vid-chat. a moment later, we see Toph's face on a small window.
Toph: Sugar Queen...and Sparky. Ooh, let me guess, looking up Sex positions?
Katara: (dry tone) Ha-ha, good one. (normal) We're actually watching Red vs. Blue, I'm guessing you too?
Toph: You know it, Sweetness.
Zuko: Hey, how about a game on Xbox live after the vid?
Toph: Only if we're playing Reach, I'm not getting into another Gears of War match.
Katara: You're just saying that 'cause you suck at it.
Toph: Just meet me in Reach. I'll get Twinkletoes to join me and it'll be two on two.
Zuko: We did two on two last time. Let's do Firefight.
Toph: Fine. We'll do Firefight. Losers do the Winner's homework for a day
Katara: Is that a bet?
Toph: You know it.
Zuko: Oh You are on, my little friend.
Time passes and we see Katara and Zuko with controllers and headsets, her xbox on and already in the middle of Halo Reach's Firefight. Katara and Zuko were playing Split-Screen while Aang and Toph played at their houses through xbox live.
It was the third wave of the third round and the score showed Toph at the Top, Zuko and Katara Tied and Aang in forth place.
Katara: ok, what's coming, what do we got?
Zuko: We'll know soon enough. Here they come.
00000000000
Inside the game, the map being "Unearthed" we see Covenant Drop Ship hover over, the four player's Spartan avatars stood ready. Zuko's in red caring an energy sword, Katara in blue with Plasma Repeater Rifle, Aang in Gold with a Sniper Rifle and Toph in Green with a rocket launcher.
The hatches open and we see Elite Zealots and Generals as well as Brute Chieftains.
Toph: Christ they know how to save the hard ones for last.
Aang: Here comes a few Zealots.
The Elites charge at the four, Toph fired a rocket, making them jump back and made their shields drop. Aang Fired his Sniper Rifle and Took two down with head shots, earning him big points and rise between Zuko and Katara.
Toph: Ugh! You stole my kill.
Aang: It's every man for himself, remember?
Aang laughs then gets startled as an Active-Camo Elite assassinated him.
Aang: Aw man, that was my last life!
Toph: Sucks to be you!
Zuko lunged at the invisible Elite and managed to take it down with his sword. He then switches to a DMR and fires at Brute Chieftains coming at him. Katara fired as well and both took its shields down, but Toph killed it with the rocket.
Zuko: Damnit, Toph.
Toph: Ha! Prepare to do my bidding.
Katara: Please, don't you have enough servants?
Katara Fired the plasma repeater at another Brute, then switched to a Pistol when the shield went down, getting a headshot. Zuko did the same, but with his sword. Toph, however, Still racked the points needed to be in the lead.
Toph: HA! I am Invincible!
As Toph fired her weapon, another Brute jumps behind her and swings its hammer.
Katara: Toph watch-
But the Brute already struck, sending Toph's Spartan flying.
Katara:...out.
Toph: Damnit, I was so close.
It was down to Katara and Zuko Now. Taking alternate turns with their weapons and a few well-placed grenades, they finished off the last of the enemy forces.
0000000000000
The two laughed and taunted.
Katara: Ha-ha, so much for us being your servants.
Toph: It's not over yet, we still have the Bonus round.
In the game, Aang and Toph's Spartans re-spawned.
Announcer: Set complete. (beeps) Bonus Round, Good luck.
The two looked at the score, Katara was in the lead with Zuko behind. The Bonus Round and coming by the flood full were Covenant Grunts.
Katara: Alright, Grunt-pocalypse. I'm gonna win this one.
Zuko: You think so huh?
Katara: Oh no contest, this game is-
She is cut off as Zuko kissed her on the lips. Katara tried to pull away, but was soon swept into passion Zuko was giving. The two dropped their controllers, the game forgotten.
Katara: Mmm..mmm...(mumbles a bit) you cheater.
Zuko: Mmm...(mumbles) You love it.
The two stayed in that moment, despite the calling of their friends, wondering where they went.
