Woohoo! chap 2! ENJOY!!
Katara grimaced when she saw the world's girliest dress.
"Yeah... sorry mom, but I have a strict 'No ruffles' policy."
"B-but don't you wanna look good for that fire festival on Ember Island next month?"
"Nope!" Katara responded simply.
"But Jet would like you in this." Kaya pouted, a pathetic gesture that would always get Katara and Sokka to do their chores, but it would never get Katara in that Paris Hilton mess. Seriously, not even Ty Lee would wear that!
"That's just another reason not to wear it, I broke up with him."
"What? Why? Jet is so sweet and handsome and... built..." Kaya said with dreamy voice.
"Then why don't you date him, mom." Katara started up the stairs to her room.
"Sometimes I think you might as well become your brother!" Kaya called after her daughter, who closed the rice paper door to her bedroom at the top of the stairs. Katara threw her bag onto the floor up against the wall and sat on her bed, thinking. Then a rustling sound came from her window. Turning around, Katara gasped when she saw her brother slip through her window. She ran towards the window just in time to see her brother fall flat on his face when he made it through the window.
"Sokka? What the hel-mf!" Katara's voice was muffled by Sokka's hand.
"Shh! Mom will hear you!" Sokka whispered, took his hand off her mouth and ran to his room, which was next door to Katara's. Katara followed him. "She thinks I'm with dad, who thinks I'm with mom and that, my sis, is the beauty of war."
"Thinks? So where have you been?" Katara asked as she watched her stupid brother pack his boomerang and sword.
"Omashu." Sokka answered. "King Bumi needs a bodyguard for three months, and I need a job, so don't tell mom or dad, 'kay?"
Katara sighed. "Fine. Wait! What are you going to do about school? You just transferred to Ember Isl. Academy, you haven't set foot in that school and you're already skipping it?!"
"Yeah I was kinda hoping you could help me with that." Sokka threw his bag over his shoulder and flung one leg out the window, ready to jump out. "Could you just... pretend to be me and call in sick or something, make it sound good so it would get me out three months, like... 'mad hippo-cow disease'?"
"Ugh! Sokka... "
"See ya in three months!" And with that Sokka jumped out the window.
"Sokka!" Katara called with no success. Katara sighed and walked over to Sokka's dresser and looked in the mirror. That's when Katara suddenly remembered Coach Pakku's words, flooding her head.
"Girls can't run as fast as boys, girls aren't as strong as boys, you could get hurt."
And that jackass, Jet!
"Hey, I can't argue with him when he's right."
"I'll show them, but how? Ugh!" Katara flopped on Sokka's bed and that's when Sokka's words rung in her head.
"Could you just... pretend to be me... "
Then, Kaya's voice.
"Sometimes I think you might as well become your brother!"
Katara's eyes widened and she walked back over to the dresser and found an ink portrait of her and Sokka. That's when she realized how much they looked alike. Hell, if they weren't born two years apart, then they would definitley be identical twins. Katara had a plan that would help her... and Sokka.
"OF COURSE!!" Katara cheered.

"You want me to what?!" Jin asked.
After Katara thought of her brilliant plan, she grabbed Ty Lee and ran to the beauty salon. Her best friend, Jin, worked there. Jin was always nice to Katara, giving her free manacures and such. Jin had forest green eyes, tan skin and brown hair that was either in braids or in a crazy ponytail. The ponytail was her hairstyle of choice most of the time. Her bangs were short, but thick, like Katara's.
"I want you to turn me into Sokka." Katara said anxiously. Ty Lee standing behind her and looking at her like she headed way too many soccer balls.
"But why?"
"The girl's soccer team was cut, so I tried to join the boy's team, but coach Pakku laughed in my face and told me that girls aren't as good as boys and Jet turned on me and said that he's right, so I broke up with him... " Katara explained, Ty Lee put a hand on her shoulder.
"Oh, no he didn't!" Jin said. "You did the right thing, Katara, not all boys can look good and be a sweetheart."
"Yeah... so I want to show them that they're wrong by pretending to be Sokka and joining the boy's team at Ember Isl. Academy. " Katara explained her plan, then purked up. "Now, 'bout that makeover!"
"Right, well I don't think it's possible," Jin scratched her chin. "I mean we would have a lot of work; the breasts, the hair, the facial features and the body structure... "
"No one there has even met Sokka, they wouldn't know the difference." Ty Lee spoke up.
"C'mon, Jin." Katara begged.
"Yeah, c'mon, Jin." Ty Lee joined in on the begging with a small pout.
"Fine." Jin smiled. "We better get to work."
