Day 1
For #86: Burning
---
Zuko was a mess. He couldn't quite figure out exactly what was the cause of it, but it didn't change the fact that he was, indeed, a complete mess.
All day nothing, absolutely nothing, had gone right. He'd woken up in true Zuko fashion—jumping down anyone's throat that came near him—and before he could get out the final syllable on "peasant" he felt something firmly chop down on his rear. He noted with true discomfort that the something latched onto his left butt cheek had very, very sharp teeth.
He jumped up flailing around like a madman grabbing at his clothes before the realization that it was inside his trousers hit him. Upon figuring this much out, he began grabbing at the belt holding his pants up. Finally getting them off, he figured that he'd be able to grab the bug or whatever it was that bit him and light its little world on fire. Oh how wrong Zuko can be.
Instead of giving himself an opening to grabbing the killer thing, he gave it the opening to run up his shirt. The feeling of dread ran up his spine as he realized a little too late what he'd done. Just a few seconds after the pants had been discarded to the other side of the encampment a sharp, burning sensation emanated from the only place a bug could bite, and hang on, on his tight upper body: the nipple.
Zuko being the slightly rational, loner of the group did what anyone would do in his situation. He screamed like a little girl and whipping at his shirt with fire. Which was a highly stupid move. All he managed to do was burn himself, and the shirt.
Momo sat on top of Appa across from the horrified gang and Rude Freak. He found it very hard to control his laughter as the idiot continued to burn himself. Appa was even humming in amusement. Although, the bison was slightly more worried about the welfare of the rest of the gang who at this point were hiding behind trees and trying to decide whether to laugh or puke.
"Guys," the two animals heard Toph speak up hesitantly. "He's naked, isn't he?"

This is what happens when you're stupid like Zuko.

I love Momo.
