Hi everyone! Anyone see the newest episode, Bato of the Water Tribe? I did, and was slightly disappointed. The Nick Studios made Iroh look like a total pervert, and the animation wasn't nearly as good as the previous eppie. I figured out why every other one had good animation; they must have two animators, and while one is working on the current one, the other is drawing for the next show. (Meaning that the next one, premiering on October 21st, is going to have better animation. Whoo!) I personally like the one who did The Fortune Teller better. Anyone with me?
OK, I have to warn you before you read; this chapter is packed a lot more with dialogue than the previous one. The characters are going to be interacting more, partly because I can fit more funny into it, and partly because most people pair up (not love connections- don't worry- I meant buddy systems) when they're at the place this eppie is located…
TV's What If?
Host: (standing in front of hotel in middle of amusement park, people everywhere) "Hi again, everyone! Welcome to the…I can't believe I'm saying it…the 5th show of What If! Today's a special day, because we're sending the cast of Avatar to…" (grand pause) "…Six Flags Great Adventure Theme Park!"
Aang: (looking confused) "Uh, what are we supposed to do here?"
Host: "This is the hottest way to spend the day! People come from all over to have fun and get thrills. You can ride on roller coasters, go into the haunted houses, eat…"
Sokka: (suddenly VERY perky) "Eat?"
Aang: (unsure) "OK…so we just walk around and ride the things?"
Host: "That's right! Just go and enjoy yourselves. And don't hold back about being weird or anything…" (mumbles under breath) "…because we're getting it all on tape anyways…" (suddenly all smiley again) "Soooo, let's get started!"
--------------------------
Aang: (looking around curiously) "Wow, this place is huge! And look at all those people." (watches group to see how many people they can fit in a porter-potty)
Random person: "Hey, kid! Wanna see if we can squeeze you in?"
Aang: (happily) "Sure!" (jams in with the other 15 people who are already bursting out of the porter potty)
-------------------------
Katara: walking and looking around, sees Aang's head sticking out from all the jumbled bodies visible through the potty door) "Aang, what are you DOING in there?"
Aang: (getting flatter by the second) "Trying to see how many people can fit into this thing! Wanna try?"
Katara: (looking surprised) "Um, no…"
Random guy who invited Aang in: "Whoo! Nineteen people! NEW RECORD!"
(cheering from inside the porter potty and everyone surrounding it)
Random Guy: Yeah! New goal! How about thirty?"
Aang: (squished in between two enormous butts) "WHAT?"
------------------------
Sokka: (walking around nonchalantly and glancing at the rides on either side of the walking area)
(The Disney character, one we all love (well, except me- I'm scared of him), Donald Duck, comes waltzing over to the unexpecting Sokka and quacks at him)
Sokka: "Aagggghhhhh! GIANT DUCK!" (goes running away as fast as his legs will carry him, onlookers snickering)
----------------------
Zuko: (scowling darkly) "This is a COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME! I don't need fun- I just want to capture the Avatar…" (glances at Aang, whose head is visible inside the porter potty, amidst muddled bodies)
----------------------
Zhao: (watching little kids playing nearby) "Oooh, perfect! They're all alone…" (laughs evilly)
-----------------------
Ozai: (playing at one of the game booths, trying to knock the pins down with fireballs) "Hahahahaha! Take that!" (pins fall down, and guy who runs tent walks up with a concealed prize and singed hair)
Guy: "Here! Just take the prize and be gone!" (places prize in front of Ozai, cautiously backing away, head still smoking)
Ozai: (looks at it) "It's a …rubber duck. Aha! It shall burn!" (proceeds to light it on fire but stops, picks it up)
(Rubber duck squeaks)
Ozai: (trying to look away from its adorableness) "Must…fight…awesome cuteness…agh…cuteness…winning…"
------------------------
Iroh: (runs up to Zuko and says something)
Zuko: (storming ahead of Iroh, fuming) "NO, UNCLE! I don't want to go on the roller coaster with you!"
Iroh: (pointing excitedly at a roller coaster) "Ooh, how about this one? It's called…" (reads sign) "…Kingda Ka."
Zuko: "No."
Iroh: "Please?"
Zuko: "NO!"
Iroh: "Oh well. It is disappointing to know that my nephew is too scared…"
Zuko: "I'm not scared!"
Iroh: "Then come on the roller coaster with me!"
Zuko: (slaps self in face) "Ughhh…fine!"
Iroh: "Excellent!"
(board coaster)
Iroh: (waiting for ride to start) "I wonder how fast this ride goes…." (jumps from 0-128 miles per hour in three seconds)
Both Iroh and Zuko: "AAAGHHHHHHH!"
----------------------
Herbalist: (walking around with Miyuki, carrying a bag of frozen wood frogs) "Wood frogs! Wood frogs! Get your frozen wood frogs here! Only ten copper pieces a bag!"
Host: (sidles over to Herbalist) "Uh, sorry, but people here don't use copper pieces; they use dollars."
Herbalist: (cackles) "Ahahaha! So…you want to buy a bag or what?"
-----------------------
Bato: (walking down a street) "Interesting…" (sees Sokka huddling in a corner, runs up to help him) "Sokka, are you OK?"
Sokka: (wide-eyed, curled up in fetal position) "The ducks! THE GIANT DUCKS! They're coming to EAT me!"
-----------------------
Host: "Wow! No disaster so far! Great!" (watches Iroh and Zuko on roller coaster, Iroh with hands up in the air, Zuko tightly clasping his seat for dear life) "Well, we'll be checking up with everyone in an hour…NO! I don't want your WOOD FROGS!"
Herbalist: (sauntering off with bag) "You know, they don't stay frozen forever!"
Host: (clearly exhausted) "OK…see you all in an hour…"
-----------------------
One hour later…
Aang: (gasping for air in between the two enormous fannies and now many more) "…can't breathe…lungs…collapsing….ughhh…."
Katara: "Aang? …Are you Ok?"
(silence)
Katara: "…Aang?"
-----------------------
Sokka: (slowly recovering from the incident with Donald Duck)
Bato: "Here, Sokka. Why don't we go on the Caterpillar ride?"
Sokka: (whines) "But it's for BABIES!"
Bato: "Sokka, let's just see how you do on this one, and THEN you can go on a big kid's ride. OK?"
Sokka: (pouting) "Fine."
-----------------------
Zuko: (flying on the roller coater, shooting down the drop, knuckles turning bright white from grasping seat so hard) "Please don't die…please don't die…"
-----------------------
Zhao: (sneaking up to little kids and standing right behind them) "BOO!"
(little kids go running and screaming in all directions)
Zhao: (cracking up) "Haahahahahaha! This is even better than I thought it would be!" (sighs happily) "I love my life…"
-----------------------
Ozai: (holding rubber duck up for all to see) "Together, we shall RULE THE WORLD! Ahahahahahahaaaa!"
(men in white coats rush in with needles and a straightjacket)
Leader: "Get 'im!"
Ozai: (gets poked in the you-know-where with a needle, wobbles dangerously) "Tuesday's…applesauce day."
(falls down, unconscious)
Leader: "Well, that's a wrap-up, boys. Let's get him outa here."
(gets taken off the scene)
-----------------------
Iroh: (hands still up in the air as they shoot upwards) "Whoo hoo! Isn't this fun, Prince Zuko?"
Zuko: (coaster goes hurtling towards the ground at over 120 miles per hour) "AAAGHHHHHHHHHH!"
------------------------
Herbalist: (running around crazily) "Ahahahahahahaaaa!"
(little boy and mom watching crazy old herbalist)
Little boy to his mother: "Mommy, why's that creepy old lady running around like that?"
Mother: "I don't know, but it's best to stay away from those kinds of people…"
----------------------
Bato: (watches Sokka, who's screaming at the top of his lungs while riding the Caterpillar, which I might mention goes no faster than 5 miles per hour)
(ride ends and Sokka gets off)
Bato: "Said that it was a little kiddie ride, did you? So why were you shrieking your head off?"
Sokka: (cheeks turning red) "I was, uh…screaming for...joy?"
----------------------
Host: "Well, everybody escaped with their sanity relatively intact. (glances at Herbalist, who's whizzing around with hands in the air) "…well, except for her, but we don't think that she even had it in the first place…"
(Katara walks up, holding an unconscious Aang over her shoulder)
Host: "What happened to him?"
Katara: "He fainted while getting stuffed in a porter potty with thirty other people. You know, lack of air to the brain?" (makes hand motions)
Host: (making unreadable expression) "…riiiiggght. And, uh, where's Iroh and Zuko?"
(everyone glances over to the distant duo)
Iroh: (grinning happily) "Soooooo, you want to go again?"
Zuko: (wearing horrified expression) "...what?"
Host: "Well, uh, thanks for watch-"
(someone rushes up) "Wait!"
Host: "Who are you?"
Girl: (wearing black tank and shorts) "Hiya, guys! I'm the host from What Happens! Just wanted to say a quick hello, and that I might be joining you in a future episode! Kay, bye!" (runs of set)
Host: (a little confused as to what just happened) "Anyways, uh, thanks for watching, and please, join us next time on TV's What If!"
For those of you who don't know, Kingda Ka is the world's most extreme roller coaster, going from 0 to 128 miles per hour (206 km/h) in 3.5 seconds, and goes 465 feet in the air! It's the fastest and most crazy coaster in the entire world.
Oh, and about the Donald Duck thing- I'm pretty much freaked out by anything wearing a mascot outfit (you can't see who's underneath the mask…duh duh DUH!) for the apple-sauce thing, I give credit to Fairly OddParents. It was just soooo GOOD; I had to use it. Oh, credits to Star Wars Nut for the fab idea about rubber ducks, and thanks to Lensgirlfriend for letting me borrow her host character! And Luna45, I really DO promise that I'll use your idea- I just want to place it where it'll fit best. Maybe next eppie even, though I haven't figured out exactly what I'm gonna do for it. Ok, then! Cheerio!
