What I Think of You

They were fighting again. Sokka and the Avatar had started out by having a go at each other and now the two girls were in the fight too. I sat calmly under the oak tree, reading my scrolls. For a while I manage to block out the sound of their noise. But when they become too loud, I look up. I'm surprised to see that my uncle too had joined the fight. That probably meant they were talking about me. Oh well. Why should I care?

"Well maybe I should just clear the air now!" Katara shouted. The rest of them looked panicked.

"No that's okay," they all said in a rush.

"No. I think I will. Sokka, Aang thinks that you're a pig-headed moron and a pathetic warrior. Toph says you're lazy and shouldn't even be here. Iroh says you have absolutely no talents except to start fights and your tea making is horrible. Toph, Sokka says you're a blind fool who has no right to talk about him. Aang says that you just talk tough because you don't know what it's like to loose someone. Iroh agrees. Aang, Sokka thinks that you should tone down on the wisdom because you act like a god. Toph says that you're always wrong anyway and that the wisdom is annoying. Iroh says you have a sugar issue," she yelled. Then she turned to me, which surprised me because I wasn't even in this fight. "Zuko, all of them say that you're a lousy jerk who thinks you're higher than us and it gets really annoying. They say that you shouldn't talk because you're a banished prince and even your own people don't want you." She slowed the last few words down realizing what she was saying. Then she looked at me, wincing. I blinked. Why should I care what they thought of me? When I didn't say anything, Toph spoke up.

"What about what you say to me about the others? You say that Sokka is a lazy, untalented moron who needs to pick up his own weight. You say that Aang needs to focus otherwise the only thing he's going to be saving is Momo from dragon-wasp. You say that Iroh needs to lay off the tea because he's dancing on your last nerve. Plus you said that Zuko...well you said a lot of things about him. What about that, Sugar Queen?" Everyone started to fight again. I went back to reading. Suddenly it was all quiet and I looked up again. Maybe they had all killed each other and left me in peace. No such luck... They were all staring at me.

"As much as I know I'll regret it, I'm going to ask. Why are you staring at me?" I sighed.

"All of us bashed each other. We all talked bad about you. And you're the only one who didn't talk behind our backs," Sokka said, slowly. They looked to Iroh for conformation. He gave it. I sighed and stood up, putting the scrolls down.

"If I'm going to say something bad about you, I'm going to say it to your face. Now I'm going to tell you what I think of you. You're all a bunch of immature idiots, too blinded too see past your own trivial differences. No pun intended, Toph.You have no right to criticize others when you fail to see your own flaws. Grow up. Now may I go back to reading?" I asked. They gaped at me.

"If we aren't supposed to judge each other because we can't see our own flaws, then how can you judge us?" Iroh asked.

"Because, I already know what's wrong with me. I just choose not to fix it," I told him.

"Really? Then what's your flaws coming from you?" Iroh challenged.

"I'm impatient, short-tempered and I never know when to keep my mouth shut. Now I'm going back to reading and I don't want to hear a sound from any of you."

Well that should last about three seconds...
