A/N I'm back, and I'm better than ever! Well, not really. But I'm back! I was at the beach since spring break started over here. And then after it ends, I'm going to be disappearing for an entire week!

Anyway, what I was meaning to tell you is that this story will not be effected by any episodes in season two, since it entirely takes place in season one. Please don't tell me what happens in the second season, because I haven't seen any of them yet. Well, hope you like it!

6: Sneak up next to him and crack your knuckles right in his ear. Be sure to hide behind Zula when he comes after you.

Ozai's temper was frayed almost to the breaking point, and Lara was still very, very annoying… er… annoyed.

Well, that's not technically true.

No, don't fall over from shock. Don't have a heart attack. Lara was still annoying and annoyed. It was the first statement that I was wrong about.

The Fire Lord's temper. It wasn't frayed almost to the breaking point. It was frayed. To the breaking point.

And so, Lara realized very quickly that she would not have to work very hard to annoy her brother. It may have been a very intelligent thing to figure out, but what she did with that knowledge was as stupid as she could ever be.

Does he ever do anything else? Wondered Lara as she walked into the Throne Room. She had used the back door, the one behind the throne so that Ozai didn't notice her enter.

The thing that Ozai was doing was… oh, guess. No, guess.

Well, let's look at this logically. So that I can help you guess. Not to tell you the answer, mind you, so that you can make an educated guess.

What two things have Ozai done in the Throne Room during the duration (wow, that's redundant) of this story?

Right. He's terrified random civilians, and he's thrown a social-gathering-designed-to-remind-the-populace-who-their-leader-was-and-to-improve-confidence-in-the-governing-body/useless-waste-of-time/fun/party.

Did Lara enjoy either one of them? Hint: who came up with each name for it? Their father did the first one, Ozai did the second, Iroh did the fourth… You're right! Lara did the third!

Wow, that sounds like a stupid little kid TV show.

Anyway, I won't make you tell me anymore.

Lara called that fun. Therefore, she would not be disgusted if Ozai was doing it. So, logically, Ozai was frightening innocent civilians.

And Lara was bored by that. So, she decided to make it more interesting. For her. Probably just more terrifying for the innocent civilians, and more strange for everybody else in the room.

So, she came up with an obvious solution. And she executed the obvious solution.

She started bugging Ozai.

Sneaking up behind her older brother, Lara carefully checked the room. There were two Generals who would obviously paying no attention to her, three civilians, two of which were too terrified to notice, and one who just seemed curious, Zula, who was staring at Lara, wondering what her crazy aunt was doing now, and five politicians who were totally oblivious to the entire thing. And Ozai, of course. He was facing away from Lara, so he didn't see her sneaking up behind him, either.

And now you probably are wondering why Lara was sneaking up behind the Fire Lord in the first place. Can't you ever figure anything out for yourself? Sheesh, you're so dependant.

Sorry. I didn't mean that. Anyway, I won't tell you what Lara was doing, but I'll show you.

Trying to keep from laughing out loud, Lara (and I wouldn't recommend doing this, since it's very addictive and apparently bad for you. Wow, that sounded like she was doing drugs or something. Well, I wouldn't recommend that, either, but that wasn't what she was doing. I really doubt that Ozai would have been very annoyed by that. I could probably make some rude comments about what he would have done, but I'm trying to keep this PG rated, so I won't) Oh, never mind. This paragraph is too long, so I'll tell you in the next one.

Sorry. I'll be nice now. Well, since what Lara did isn't really on this topic, I'll tell you in the next paragraph. Hehe. I'm evil.

Lara cracked her knuckles in Ozai's ear. Whew, that took a while. I don't know why I was refusing to tell you since it says what she did in the first sentence. You know, when I tell you what Alaska Angel wrote?

Never mind. Anyway, she cracked her knuckles in his ear. Back to the story.

Ozai screamed. Well, not technically. He said something very intelligent. Loudly and shrilly, but very intelligent.

It was something along the lines of "Whabanaishrekdofushnahug!"

Which, of course, is in a foreign language. Idiotish. It translates to something like this.

"What… but… and… I… (scream)… do something… (curse word)… (curse word)… (scream)."

Which, in turn, is in another foreign language. See, Idiotish is so complicated that it has to be translated to a simpler language before it is translated into English. This second language is called Moronic.

In English, this is what Ozai said.

"What is going on? Are we being attacked? But I know we are not being attacked, because I am extremely intelligent, as demonstrated by the complex language that I am speaking. And therefore, we are not being attacked. I will use my prophetic powers that I got because I am so intelligent to tell what is happening."

This is followed by a complex chant in a language that is impossible to translate. It is used to tell the future.

This is such an exhausting process that Ozai came out of it speaking Yoda-speak, although he soon recovered.

"Do something, I must."

The two curse words and the last scream actually translate into something like: "But if I reveal my extreme intelligence, people will have nothing to use to rail against me, and my enemies will no longer underestimate me. Therefore I must pretend to be stupid and do nothing to protect myself except curse and scream."

Ozai did not really live up to that idea. You see, he did something to protect himself besides curse and scream.

He threw his arms over his face, and screamed. "Don't let it get me! Mommy!!"

Lara tapped his shoulder. After all, he was her brother, and she didn't want to see him so upset. Actually, she was thinking that someday she might want something from him, but close enough.

Ozai looked up. He added two and two together (figuratively, of course, I can't see what five… er… four has to do with anything.)

Anyway, he added two and two together. Lara was behind him. Someone had cracked their knuckles in his ears.

"Did you do this?" he demanded.

His sister grinned. "No, Ozai, I didn't crack my knuckles in your ear. It was the Invisible Man."

"The Invisible Man? Where?"

"She's being sarcastic, Father," Zula explained. "Lara really did crack her knuckles in your ear."

A fireball appeared over Ozai's hand. Never a good thing. For Lara, that is.

"Yeep!" screamed the aforementioned Lara, ducking behind Zula.

"Hey… what…." replied Zula articulately. Must run in the family.

"Get out here!" shouted Ozai.

"Let go of me!" cried Zula.

"Eat pie!" exclaimed Lara.

No, don't worry. It's not you, it's Lara. That didn't make any sense.

"Did that make any sense?" asked Ozai, obviously not paying any attention to me.

"Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. That's for me to know and you to find out."

There was a short pause while Ozai and Zula tried to figure it out. Both of them reached the same conclusion of pretending that they had figured it out, when indeed, they hadn't.

So, they decided to shout at Lara for saying something that undoubtedly had a hidden message. Actually, it didn't, it was just as random as ever, but they didn't know that.

"LARA!"

For once, it was with innocence and confusion that Lara replied "What?"
