On The Air

We each had decided on out specialties. Aang was the main guy, the transitions, opening and ending things as well as the electrical stuff.
Sokka was the Gossip Guy. He reported on all our school's drama from latest bitch fights to the epic failures of our football team.
Our music DJ was Toph. She had called the position after complaining about the crappy quality of our school's general musical tastes.
Zuko was our fly on the wall. He was covering the "It People" he had the perfect cover, why would Azula's brother backstab them? No reason, so he was safe.
Finally I was the "Call Girl" each week we would pose a question and people could call in and answer. It was completely anonymous thanks to voice modifiers Aang bought at an old junk store.
"Are you ready?" Aang asked. He was surrounded by machines and his hand was poised over a switch. Hanging above us was a de-illuminated sign that read: On Air.
We all nodded and the switch was flipped and the sign glowed red.
Aang: Hey, hey, hey it's another beautiful day in Ba Sing Se! This is your host Hotman and this is "After Five". We're going to start things off with Stripes.
Sokka: Stripes here with our school's latest drama. You've all heard about. You've all seen it. The dreaded teenstache, some can pull it off, others… Yes. Haru Mustachio's new moustache. Haru, if you're listening, SHAVE. IT. OFF.
Toph: Yeah. Like, right now.
Sokka: Actually the new 'stache kinda reminds me of Professor Zhao's sideburns.
Zuko: It makes him look like a snow monkey. Can we please move on?
Sokka: Way to be a spoilsport. That's all we've got for today, make sure to tune in next week for even more teenage drama!
Toph: Now that Stripes is done being an idiot I'd like to start the musical portion of our show. DJ Bandit, keeping the air rockin'. Remember what MUSIC sounded like? Here's a brief recap of what we with actual musical taste like to call: Classic Rock. Satisfaction, Bohemian Rhapsody, Black Dog, Highway to Hell, Who Are You, Smoke on the Water, Johnny B. Goode, Sunshine of your Love, The National Anthem.
Toph: so for all you "It" People listening, take a page out of my book and listen to something tasteful. Who knows? You might actually get an OPINION.
Zuko: Well now we can move onto something you've all been waiting for. Yes, this just in, Double D Ty Lee stuffs her bra. Exclusively she only uses Charmin as she says, and quote, "It's softer than the other stuff" end quote.
Sokka: Hahaha
Toph: Nice one Sheep. I'm sure all the boys will notice a significant change in Ty Lee's twins tomorrow.
Sokka: Yeah, her "eyes" are gonna be bit less interesting. Who knows, maybe they'll actually look at her face now.
Zuko: Like you've never stared.
Katara: Okay, I think that's enough chest related humour for now. It's time for you to tell us what you think! Each week we ask a question, you can call in and tell us what you think. Don't worry about people coming to hunt you down, Hotman set up the system so your voice won't be recognizable. This is your chance! Tell the world what you think! This week's question is easy: What do you think of Principal Ozai?
Caller 1: Hi, I'd just like to say something.
Katara: And?
Caller 1: I hate Ozai. You guys rock.
Katara: Excellent! What do you think of Ozai Caller 2?
Caller 2: He scares me! Sometimes I walk around the school just so I don't have to go in front of his office!
Katara: mutters wimp... Looks like that's all the time we have for today! This was Paints.
Aang: Thanks for listening, this was After Five. Remember, stay flamin'
"How did you find about that Ty Lee thing?" Sokka asked Zuko as they walked towards the van. Aang was just locking up the building while Toph and I hung a little behind, waiting for him.
"Azula writes a lot of stuff in her journal. A LOT of stuff." Zuko said with a dry smile as we all laughed.
A/N
So there's two ways I can write the radio show. Script format or just them talking. This chapter I'm trying script format but if no one likes it, I'll just write it normally.
I loved this chapter. Got to work on funny dialogue which is a really fun thing for me :D
