Temper of a Firebender

Authoress Note: This is not only my 1st stab at a drama fic, but also my first fic on this site, so please take it easy on the flames. Please. I'm not sure I can take it.

"At least we're safe from the Fire Nation..." Sokka's words trailed off as he, Katara, and Aang realized that they had just walked into a Fire Nation camp. They tried to run, but one of the Firebenders started a fire behind them, cutting off their escape. They were cornered. Sokka got out his club thingy. All of a sudden, one of the Firebenders fell over, dead.

"Wow, Sokka, How did you hit him in the back?" Aang asked.

"Uhh... Instinct," Sokka replied. That's when they noticed the people dropping out of the trees. Two swung down, one a tall boy about 16 with brown hair, who swung out out of the tree he was in by means of what looked kinda like swords, but with bent ends. The other wore a mask, so you couldn't see what his face looked like. He was shorter than the other guy, and came down by means of gloves with whips made out of what looked like tree vines protuding from them. Aang, Katara and Sokka looked up and saw that those two weren't alone. There were four people jumping out of another tree, one the size of a tent, one slightly smaller, one with really odd facepaint, and one that was puny. The puny one landed on a Firebender's head, causeing him to thrash around like a fish out of water. Then they looked up in the tree and noticed there was one more, a guy actually hanging upside down from a tree, this one with a bow and arrows. All these people made short work out of the Fire Nation peoples, and they than had time to talk.

"Thanks for saving us," Katara said.

"Thanks yourself," the brown-haired one responded "We've been waiting all morning to attack them. We just needed the right distraction. I'm Jet by the way, and this is Sneers, Longshot, Smellerby, the Dude and Pipsqueak."

Aang walked over to the puny one, "Pipsqueak, that's a funny name." Then the tent sized one said, "You think my name is funny?"

"It's hilairious!"

Then they both started laughing at how absurd the nickname Pipsqueak was.

"Oh, I almost forgot," Jet said indicating the last person, "This is..."

"Don't bother, Jet," he said, "I'll introduce myself." With that she took off her mask to reveal an egg-shaped head, a mouth that looked like it was almost constantly smirking and a pair of amber eyes, framed by black lashes.

"I'm Whips," she said, "Jet's partner in crime."

"And girlfriend! Jet and Whips, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S..." the one introduced as Smellerby started shouting. All of a sudden, he was interrupted by Whips, who had gotten incredibly angry. She began chasing him, shouting various threats. Finally, she tackled him to the ground and shouted in his face, "AS LONG AS YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE, NEVER, I REPEAT, NEVER SAY THAT ABOUT ME AND JET!"

"Woah," Sokka said, "I'd sure hate to get on her bad side."

"That's Whips for you," Jet responded, "Temper of a Firebender."

"Hey Jet!" the Dude shouted, "These barrels are filled with blasting jelly!"

"And these boxes are filled with jelly candy!" Pipsqueak added.

"Two great finds!" Jet said, "Take them to the hideout."

"You have a hideout?" Aang asked.

"Wait till you see it," Whips answered, "It's great."

And so ends the first chappie of Temper of a Firebender. Please R&R, and please, if you have any flames, could you soften 'em up a bit? Please? It's my first fic.

Whips: Yeah, if you did flame her, her response wouldn't be pretty (kinda like her).

Star Wars nut: Whips, you do realize that since I created you, I can do what I want with you. For example, I could give you a lisp if I wanted to.

Whips: You wouldn't.

Star Wars nut: I'm about to.

Whips: Hey! I didn't think you'd athually give me a lithp! Changth me back! Y'know they call me Whipth for a reathon!

Star Wars nut:(giggles a little) Fine I'll changth you back.

Whips: Thank you.

Star Wars nut: And you've learned your lesson, right?

Whips:(sighs) No insulting you.

Star Wars nut: Good. If you forget that lesson, I swear I will tell your deep, dark secret to Jet.

Whips: You wouldn't!

Star Wars nut: Try me.

Aang: Well, that's all folks!
