Just a Note to all you guys: Okay about the challenges, I LOVE THEM, I really do, but you see...don't feel left out if for some reason I just don't do a challenge one day. Sometimes I get lazy (Did you guys know I'm a procrastinator? Seriously, I am.) and other times I just really want to write something not funny or fluff. But do not fret! I WILL do ALL of the challenges, no matter what. Don't you worry about that. I'm just warning you, there might be a couple of days I might not complete a challenge. Hope you understand.

Challenge for Today;

From: TimeStream
First Line: "Is that sugar cane?"
End: "I already said it was fine! What is it with you woman!?"
Detail: Have it at a market place.

I'm not too proud of this one...but I think it's alright. I don' know. What do you think? I gotta run somewhere now. Hopefully I'll upload something late today.


"Is that sugar cane?"

Zuko stared at his new wife, as she began to run to a cart and nearly drool at the sugar cane in the market place. The Fire Lord watched as Katara, his wife, rubbed her pregnant belly. Sokka, his brother-in-law walked beside him as the three strolled down the market place of the Earth Kingdom.

"Zuko! Can we buy some sugar cane!?" Katara called out to her husband who was a few carts down the street. The Fire Lord shook his head, wiping imaginary dust off his royal red robes. Trails of guards were behind him, all of them carrying an armful of packages, food, and gifts.

Which Katara had greedily bought them ALL.

So as their guards were carrying everything, Zuko called back out to her.

"No, honey! Look at how much stuff we already have!"

Sokka jabbed him in the ribcage, shaking his head at Zuko. Quietly just so Zuko would hear, the brother-in-law warned the Fire Lord,

"I wouldn't do that if I were you..."

The pregnant Fire Lady narrowed her eyes at her husband, and Zuko should have immediately known that he had made a mistake.

But he didn't.

Marching over, with one hand on her stomach, Katara stopped once she was in front of Zuko. One dark hand grabbed Zuko by the collar of his clothes, pulling him close so he would hear. Growling at her husband as he cowered in fear, "I said. I want some sugar cane."

From behind Sokka rattled his bag of coins. With a loud voice he called out his angry sister, which he knew all too well. "Katara! Look at this! It seems I have some extra money you can spend..."

Lady Katara let go of her husband who fell back into a cart of precious cabbages.

Sokka smirked when his sister snatched the bag from his hands and kissed him on the cheek, before running off to buy the entire stand of sugar cane. Sokka walked over with his hands in his pockets, over to where Zuko was apologizing for knocking over a man's stand of cabbages. Hm...that mad seemed awfully familiar.

"You know, if I wasn't your brother-in-law, I would have thought you were a complete idiot for saying to no to a pregnant woman. Especially your wife. Who is a waterbender. A master waterbender. And the fact she could bite of your head."

Zuko glared at Sokka, as he began to wipe off the dirt of his robes. Barking orders at one of the guards to pick up the rest of the cabbages for him, he turned his attention back to Sokka.

"Oh yeah wise guy? What do you know of woman?"

Sokka let out a laugh at this as he dropped a coin at one of the stands, and picked up a piece of fruit. Taking a large bite, he swallowed and wiped the juice from his mouth with his shirt.

"Please, you have no idea what I know. I grew up in the South Pole. That's self explanatory enough. During my whole life there, half the population was children. And if there's children that means there was pregnant woman. And let me tell you, not fun."

Taking another bite, he held up his hands as he explained. "I'll give the best advice anyone will ever tell you. If they ask you for anything, say yes. And you might not have the risk of being killed."

Licking the juices off his fingers, Sokka threw the core to the side of the street. The brother-in-law looked him in the eyes and sternly said to him. "I'm serious. Especially Katara. I know my sister. She's not exactly Sweetness when she's angry, as Toph likes to put it."

Suddenly, Katara appeared excitingly before the two men. Putting the sweetest face that she could, she innocently asked her husband,

"Honey...do you mind if I buy a few things for the palace?"

Zuko turned around to the direction his wife was pointing. Before his very eyes was a large pile of...useless junk. Putting his hands to his head in disbelief he yelled out, stuttering and stammering,

"A PEACOCK!?"

"IS THAT ANOTHER BED SET?! BUT WE ALREADY HAVE 12 GUEST ROOMS KATARA!"

"OH AGNI DON'T TELL ME THAT'S ANOTHER STATUE OF A PENGUIN..."

"I ALREADY TOLD YOU! I REFUSE TO PLAY THE SUNGI HORN!"

He yelled all these lines to her, his words coming out slurred and mixed up. Beside him, Sokka shut his eyes and clasped his hands, praying to every Spirit he knew to make Zuko say yes. Under his breath he muttered out loud,

"Please say yes...please make that hot head say yes...stupid idiot say yes or I'll be planning your funeral..."

Finally Zuko gave another groan before finally nodding. Katara's smile brighten the entire market place as she rubbed her stomach.

Zuko took out his heavy bag of money, sighing as he handed it to her.

He was now sure of two things.

He was going to be the first Fire Lord to go poor.

And the first to be deathly afraid of his wife.

"Really, Zuko, honey!? Really?!"

"I already said it was fine! What is it with you woman?!"
