Wow! This is a really long chapter! I'm kind of proud of it… not to be conceited. I like this story way better than my other one. It's a lot easier to write also because I mix in some experiences of my own. This is also in present time so it is easier. Review please!

Chapter 2: The Sleepover

We are in the living room. It is awesome! We're playing a game that we play at all sleepovers. One person stands in the end of the room by a window. Then, one other random person has to turn off the lights and try to scare the unfortunate victim. It's so much fun! Suki screamed so much! She's usually not scared of anything. She does karate and is a really good fighter, but when she's around her friends, she's the biggest scaredy-cat ever! I wasn't scared though. All of my friends tried but I just don't get scared by that game.

"Oh my god! I'm so thirsty! Suki? Can we get a drink?"

"Sure!" I walk into the huge kitchen with all of my friends and grab one of the plastic cups on the counter. I see Ty Lee pouring herself some Gatorade and so I put my cup out and she pours me some too. We laugh and talk about random things, school, boys, teachers, boys, jokes, boys, movies, and boys. We finally stop laughing and sit down for cake.

"Happy Birthday to you! Cha Cha Cha

Happy birthday to you! Cha Cha Cha

Happy birthday to Suki! Cha Cha Cha

Happy birthday to you! Cha Cha Cha"

We all sing and laugh as we watch Toph dance to the Cha Cha Cha's.

Suki takes a knife and cuts the cake. She puts the slice on a plate and holds her hand behind her back to take the first bite. It is a tradition that on her birthday she takes the first bite without her hands. Last year, we pushed her face into the cake! It was so hilarious! She bends down to take a bite and then takes a mouthful. She smiles and we laugh at the icing all over her mouth.

Kiana then takes her finger and grabs a whole bunch of cake. Suki's eyes widen as me and Yue hold her down. Kiana takes the cake and smashes it all over Suki's nose and cheeks. We all crack up laughing at this funny sight and Suki runs to the sink to wipe the gunk off her face. She comes back with a wet paper towel in her hand still wiping her face. We start to laugh again as she takes two fingers, puts them to her eyes, then at Kiana, then at her eyes, then at me, then at her eyes and then at Yue. We laugh as we get some cake and ice cream.

We then go into Suki's room to open presents. Everyone gets to give her their present. I give her mine last. She takes out the tissue paper from the green bag and looks inside. I smile as she pulls out up make-up, gum, perfume, and a homemade CD. I got up from my spot and moved closer to her.

"Wait everyone! Katara has to explain all the presents!" Ty Lee puts her hands up and announced to the room.

"Thank you very much Ty Lee! Okay!" I waited till everyone's attention was toward Suki.

"The gum is for your breath because trust me you need it!" I laughed as I saw Suki's expression.

"The perfume is for that disgusting body odor you give off, the make-up is to cover up your hideous face and the CD is because I love you and I think you deserve the best!" Everyone starts to laugh as I smile and she punched me lightly in the arm. We always make fun of each other. I laugh again at the memories. All the comebacks we try to come up with, all the "insult wars" we have at school.

"INSULT WAR!" Azula yells. Suki and I look at each other and raise and lower our eyebrows…

"Let the war begin!" Toph yells. Suki crosses her arms signaling for me to go first. I nod.

I sniffed the air and slowly made my way to Suki.

"Suki! What is that smell? I think I just took a big whiff of UGLY!" I wave at the air and make a disgusted face. Everyone laughs, including Suki.

"Oh my Katara! You know Halloween comes next week right? Because I don't think you should be scaring all the little children with that mask!" We laugh again.

"Well Suki! The only reason I'd be scaring little children is because my face is so beautiful unlike SOME people who torture other people with disgusting body odor! Jesus! You smell like ten dead animals crawled up and died!!" Everyone laughed.

"Oh excuse me Katara! Was that you speaking? I thought it was just a big ringing in my ear! I swear your voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard!"

"Wow! I'm surprised you know so many big words! I mean with the knowledge of a one year old I expected less of you!" I smirked.

"Yes I do know many knowledgeable words. My sophisticated vocabulary makes your vocabulary sound like chicken scratch!" Suki said in a British voice. I laughed and then crossed my arms to look like a gangster.

"No duh man! What's the dilio in the heazie? My rep to much fo yo sorry ass to handle?" I made a face like Derek Zoolander in Zoolander. Ty Lee laughed, me and her watched Zoolander with our other cousins countless times.

"BLUE STEEL!" Ty Lee shouted.

"No! Magnum!" Rachel shouted. I made another same face.

"Dear god! It's beautiful!" Ty Lee shouted. We fell to the floor laughing.

After we started to calm down Suki hugged me and thanked everyone for the presents.

"Hey Katara! Put on the CD you made me!"

"Okay." I grabbed the CD case and made my way to her karaoke/stereo set. I put in the CD and turned up the volume. The tune to Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind came on. Suki squealed and we all started to stand up.

"Oh my god! I love this song!" Suki jumped up and down. Ty Lee, Azula, Yue, Suki and I jumped on top of Suki's bed. We jumped and swung our heads to the beat. The band started to sing and we all chorused with it.

We belched out the lyrics and danced to the music.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...
Im packed and Im holding Im smiling
She living she golden and she lives for me
Says she lives for me
Ovation her own motivation
She comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile
Like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do
Coming over you
Keep on smiling what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
Come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play
She said I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life baby baby
I want something else
Im not listening when you say
Good-bye
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it to my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal myth
Will lift you up until you break
It wont stop, I wont come down, I keep stock
With a tick tock rhythm and a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up
I took the hit I was given
Then I bumped again
And then I bumped again she said
How do I get back there to
The place where I fell asleep inside you
How do I get myself back to
The place where you said
I want something else to get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life baby baby
I want something else
Im not listening when you say
Good-bye
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling an earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When Im with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right, all right

I want something else
To get me through this life baby
I want something else
Not listening when you say
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...
The sky was gold it was rose
I was taking sips of it to my nose
And I wish I could get back there someplace
Back there in the place we used to
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...
I want something else

We laughed and collapsed on the floor. Our hair was now all messed up and sweat beads formed on our heads. I wiped mine off and sat up. I ran up to the karaoke machine and fast forwarded to song number 16.

"Everyone get back up!" I motioned for everyone to get up but they grumbled in protest. I laughed and tried to drag people up off the ground. Another song started to play as I got everyone back on their feet. The chorus started and everyone's eyes widened. It was the song from Step Up the movie!

We collapsed on the floor once more from dancing our asses off and then I got back up.

"Isn't that such a great song?!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

"I love that song!" Suki yelled. We all laughed once again. An idea popped into my head.

"You know what? We should so do that song for the talent show! We could dance to it!" Everyone laughed. I knew it was a bad idea but I really want it to happen! There is the Aratuz high school talent show every year. Last year I did a duet with my friend Michelle on the violin in the Aratuz junior high school talent show.

"C'mon! You know you want to!" I shook Suki and made a little puppy face.

"Alright! Alright!" Suki rolled her eyes. I laughed.

"I can make you do anything with that puppy face!" She laughed while trying to make a death glare… It wasn't working to well. I laughed again and moved onto my next victim.

"Kiana! C'mon please can you do it with me and Suki?! PLEASE!!!" I looked at her and once again made my puppy face. She smiled. I knew it was a yes.

"Fine."

"YAY! So now it's me, Suki, and Kiana." I ran up to Yue and gave her a hopeful smile.

"Please? C'mon! You are already taking hip hop classes! Please?!"

"Okay, I will."

"YAY!!!! This is going to be so much fun! Here, let me show you guys what I already made up. This is a little part of it." I nodded towards Ty Lee and she turned the song back to the beginning. I began to dance and sway to the music. I stopped after about twenty seconds and tried to see their reactions.

"Oh my god it's awesome!" Suki smiled.

"I didn't know you could dance like that Katara. It's nice." Mei smiled from her seat.

"Ty Lee is a really good dancer! She's way better than me!" I looked at my cousin and smiled.

"We made up dances all the time! We just never finished them." I said to everyone.

"I'm not good! I suck! I don't know what you are talking about!"

"C'mon Ty Lee! Don't be modest!!"

"I am not being modest! I really do suck at dancing!"

"No you don't!"

"Yes I do!"

"No you don't!"

"Yes I do!"

"Okay Beavis and Butthead! Enough is enough!"

"She's butthead!" We both pointed to each other simultaneously and cracked up laughing.

"This will be so much fun!" I screamed. I'm so happy! I've always liked hip hop dancing, and I never thought I was good at it. It was just fun to make up the steps.

"Show us how to do it! You don't expect us to do this in front of the entire high school and not know what the hell we're doing do you?" Suki put her hands on her hips.

"Okay, okay!! Follow me." I lead everyone to the hallway outside Suki's door. It was a balcony overlooking the foyer. The large glass window was great for a mirror.

"Okay, now first you go like this, then this, then this." I showed everyone the steps once or twice until they got the hang of it.

"You know what? This space is a little tight. Why don't we move to the living room?"

"Sure!" Suki leads everyone downstairs and into the living room. Everyone sits on the couch and I stand in the front. I put the CD into her boom box and signal for everyone in the dance to get up. Mei and Ty Lee also get up. I do the steps and stop at the part I haven't finished yet.

"This is going to be so cool! I already have an idea for the rest of the dance but I just have to figure out the details." I clap my hands.

"Why don't you do this?" Mai shows a couple of dance moves. It looks a little strange for a goth to be doing the moves she was doing, but it looked pretty good.

"Sure! How about we tweak it up a bit and do this?" I change it a little and show everybody.

"Wait! Katara slow down! I can't do this part can you show me?" Kiana asks.

"I know what I can do! I can design the clothes! You should wear tight jeans, red tank tops with lace and…" Azula shouts and starts to ramble on.

"I can help with the dance steps! Look!" Mai yells. She starts making up some more dance moves.

"I can come up with a name!" Toph announces. "Hmm… Suckers, Dance154, Party Animals…" She rambles off with more names. The room fills with noise. I can't take it any longer!

"Hold on everyone! Don't get all caught up in the moment! We'll figure it out later." My head is pounding. I leave the room and get a drink. Ty Lee follows.

"Getting a headache?" She says as she pours me a glass of water. She hands it to me.

"Just a little." I smile. "You always know when something's wrong don't you?" I cock my head to one side and stare at her.

"Well you know me! What are best cousins for? And plus, I have espn remember?" She points to her head and raises her eyebrows. I laugh.

"Of course! Well, thanks."

"No problem." I nod my head and take a sip.

"Ready to go back?" She says.

"I guess so. I just hope that everyone doesn't get too involved. I mean, you help because you can actually help me teach them the steps. I also feel bad because some people aren't dancing and are just sitting there. Look at Rachel and Lana!" She nods and I sigh.

"Hopefully we can practice some other time. Can you help me move everybody onto a different subject?"

"Sure." We both put our cups into the sink and walk back into the living room.

"C'mon everybody! Let's go upstairs and watch a movie or something." Ty Lee says.

"Yea! Let's go watch a movie! I brought three different ones, the corpse bride, step up, and she's the man. What do you guys want to watch?" I number the movies off with my fingers.

"I don't want to watch a movie! Once we start to watch a movie the party ends and it's like a dull boring party!" Azula states.

"Yea. Why can't we just keep doing this? It's fun." Mai says.

"I feel bad because not everyone is doing this and it's getting all hectic in here!" I say as I point to people on the couch. Azula sighs and rolls her eyes.

"Fine! Be that way! But then what are we going to do?"

"We'll do what we were doing before! Talking and partying upstairs." Kiana wrinkles her nose.

"Can't we just practice one last time?" I sigh in defeat and nod.

"Fine. One last time, but then that is it!" I replay the song and watch everyone try to dance. This is going to need a LOT of work!

The song finally ends and I shut the boom box off. I bring it upstairs as everyone follows me.

I relax as the hectic chattering from before dies down.

"Why don't we play truth or dare?" Everyone agrees and sits down in a circle to play the game.

"Suki, you can start since it IS your party."

"Alrighty then. Hmm… Katara! Truth or dare?"

"Umm… Truth."

"Oh c'mon Katara! You're so boring! Why don't you pick dare?" Ty Lee sat down next to me and shoved me.

"No! I want to pick truth!"

"Whatever. You're such a goody two shoes!" Ty Lee laughed and I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

"Oh whatever! Just ask me the question"

"Fine… Hmm… It has to be good…" Suki bit her lip and made her "thinking" face. "I got it! If you had to date anyone from our grade. Who would you date?"

"Does it have to be from our grade?"

"Oooo! You have a crush on a sophomore? One of Sokka's friends maybe?" Azula teased.

"No! I'm just saying that I like to have my options open!"

"Fine. The the entire high school too."

"Good. Ummm… I guess it would have to be Jet."

"Awww!! Oh my god! You have a crush on a sophomore!"

"No I don't! You know I don't! I'm just saying if I HAD to date someone it would be him! I swear I don't like him!"

"Uhuh! Whatever! Deny all you want! I know you like him! C'mon! I've known you since you were born! You like him!" Ty Lee smiled and laughed.

"I swear I don't! C'mon who's next?"

"Don't change the subject! And you can pick who goes next."

"I guess I'll go with Lana. Lana, what's your deepest secret?" Lana looked at me and smiled.

"Okay, well I always prepare myself for sleepovers. In case anyone was to play a mean trick on me or something I prepared myself just in case." She went to her bag and took out a bottle. We all leaned forward to see what she held in her hands. It's a tarantula! Suki screamed and Mai nearly peed in her pants.

"If someone is mean to you, you put a tarantula in their bed?!" Azula smirked and chuckled. "I think it's a great idea!" Azula said.

"It's only if someone is mean to me. Don't worry! It's dead. And it's in this special liquid so it doesn't rot or anything." Lana held up the bottle and we all got creeped out. I laughed it off until everyone settled down and she put the bottle back into her bag.

"Okay Lana. I think that's a very… interesting secret? Well it's your turn to ask someone!" I said.

"Okay. Hmm… Azula! Truth or dare?"

"Umm… dare."

"Okay…" Lana puts her hand to her chin and thinks about it. "I dare you to make out with your hand for thirty second!" We all crack up laughing.

"What! I'm not doing that!"

"Oh c'mon Azula! Don't be a party pooper!" Ty Lee laughs and lightly pushes Azula.

"Fine, fine. Who's counting?"

"I will! Let me go get my watch." Rachel volunteers. She gets up, grabs her watch and then sits back down.

"Okay, go!" Azula grabs her hand and starts to make out with it. We all are cracking up laughing. I fall to the floor grabbing my belly to try and stop my laughter.

"Done!" Rachel calls out.

"Thank god that's over!" Azula gets up. "I'm going to go wash this slobber off my hand." We all laugh again as she goes to the bathroom to wash up.

"What time is it?" Mai questions.

"It's only 3:30. Why?" Lana said.

"Well, I think we should watch a movie now. That way it will end around 5 and we can talk until we fall asleep."

"Good idea Mai. What movie do you guys want to watch?" I grab my bag and take out the three movies I brought over. "There is She's the man, Corpse Bride, and Step Up."

"Oh My God! We have to watch Step Up! It's only the best movie in the history of movies!" Kiana said excitedly.

"I know right?" Azula said as she walked back into the room.

"Okay. Here Yue. Put this on." I hand the DVD to Yue. She makes her way to the DVD player and enters the DVD. We all get comfortable and watch the movie. It starts to play and we all start singing to the beginning song. It's the same song we're doing for the talent show. Suki and Kiana jump up and start dancing to the part they know. We laugh as they sit back down. I am so tired. I start to fall asleep as the climax of the movie comes on. I already saw the movie so it doesn't really matter. I close my eyes and fall asleep.

I wake to the sound of everyone laughing. I get up and see everyone laughing and talking. It's still dark and late.

"What time is it?" I ask as I try to adjust to the light.

"Yay! Sleepy head is up!" Ty Lee smiles at me and laughs.

"It's 6:00." Mai says.

"Already?" I ask.

"Yea." She replies.

"Well then I am going back to sleep." I simply state.

"Good idea. Me too." Suki pulls up the covers and gets into her bed. Everyone does the same and we fall asleep.
