A/N: I do not own Avatar:TLA
Sorry for the wait... I just got done with mid-term exams, and i've been juggling my classes, music, and basketball so i finally found some time to write this during the weekend. This is the party chapter with lots of 'mary-jane' usage, so just FYI, also there's just a little taste of Taang in this chapter, really it's very minuscule so don't freak out for all those KatAang fans. Also don't forget to read and review, clickity-clack that button down below.
"Alright it's noon right now, is it alright if I invite some friends over here? I mean it would be kinda lame if the party was only the three of us." Sokka asked.
"Uhhh sure, I guess... My dad isn't coming home till tomorrow morning, so it should be fine." Aang replied.
"Ok... now... who to invite.."
"How bout Toph, Suki, Mai, Ty Lee and Yue?" Katara suggested.
"Ooh, good idea, and i'll invite Zuko too."
"Who's Zuko?" Aang asked.
"Uh he's kind of a loner kid but you'll get used to him, he has a scar on his left eye, he's kinda sensitive about it."
"Oh... that kid..."
"So you've met him?"
"Sorta... I accidentally ran into him at school and i pointed at his scar, then he locked me in a closet."
Sokka chuckled. "Haha, yeah that's Zuko alright."
"Me and him have been friends since junior high."
Aang looked at the ground. "I see..."
Sokka gave him a pat on the back.
"Don't worry bout' it man, he's probably already forgotten about it. I'll just tell him that you're my homie now and he'll understand... maybe." Sokka mumbled the last part.
"I hope so dude."
"No prob man, just try not to stare at his scar."
"Thanks, i'll try, Bee Tee Dub, how did he get that scar anyway?"
"Bee Tee Dub?" Katara asked.
"By the way." Aang explained.
"Ohhh."
Aang shook his head and looked back to Sokka.
"Anyway, how did he get that scar?"
"No one really knows, he changes the story every time someone asks him. One time he said he accidentally lit a cigarette at a gas station and another time he said he stood too close to the exhaust of a jet airplane. The story is a mystery. Why don't you ask him yourself?"
"Yeah man, like that'll ever happen."
Sokka chuckled again.
"Alright, let's get down to business, Katara you text your little crew and i'll call up my friends."
"Yes your highness."
"Damn straight woman."
Katara punched him in the arm, but did what she was told to do anyway.
Sokka called up his friends too.
"Anything you want me to do?" Aang asked.
"Yeah, dude, we need a lot of snacks, beer, and some bumpin tunes."
"All right, music we got, lemme just go to the store to get the snacks and booze. I'll be right back."
"For sure." Sokka replied as he stared at his phone.
Aang got his keys from the key bowl in the living room and opened the door that lead to the garage but before he stepped out he returned to where the siblings were.
"Uh, Katara, you wanna come with? I don't really wanna go alone."
"Sure, i don't see why not." She said as she stood up to leave.
"Cool, we'll be back Sokka."
"Hey hey hey, NO FUNNY BUSINESS YOU TWO." He pointed his index and middle finger at his eyes then pointed his index at Aang as if to say 'i've got my eyes on you.'
"Yeah yeah yeah whatever. Let's go Aang." Katara retorted.
"Sure, we'll be back dude!" he called from the garage and closed the door.
Aang wanting to be a gentleman, opened up the passenger side door for Katara.
"Your chariot awaits m'lady."
"Well thank you m'lord."
"M'lord huh? I could get used to that. Lord Aang. I like the sound of that."
He got into the driver's side and started the engine. It roared to life and he gave it a few revs to get it warmed up.
Once he thought the temperature was at its optimal working condition, he reversed quickly out of the garage making Katara let out a yelp of surprise and nervousness which in turn amused Aang.
"Haha, don't worry we'll just cruise."
Katara punched him in the arm.
"You better, if you accelerate that fast again i think i'm gonna have a heart attack."
"Yes, your highness."
"Your damn right, man."
Regardless, Aang still accelerated quickly down the road towards the corner store making Katara's eyes go wide with fear and she let out a loud scream that only a Justin Bieber fan girl could make.
They stopped at a redlight and Katara punched him in the arm.
"You ass, i hate you right now."
"Haha, you know you love me."
Katara just humphed at him.
"How bout some music?"
"Sure, whatever."
Aang rolled his eyes as he turned on the cd changer.
Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
up in HERE up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
up in here up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a FOOL
up in HERE up in here
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool
up in here up in here
Aang was bobbing his head enthusiastically which made Katara smile and laugh.
"What? It's DMX, this is my shit, I mean were goin to a party, am I right!" He yelled in order for him to be heard over the volume.
"I GUESS SO!" Katara yelled back then laughed.
They got to the corner store and Aang found a spot to park.
"Aang how are you going to buy beer when you're not even 21?" Katara asked.
"Don't worry, I know the guy that owns this place and he's cool with me buying."
They entered the store and Aang greeted the owner.
"Yo! Julio what's up!"
Julio looked up from the Sports Illustrated magazine he was reading.
"Aang! sup dude! Nothin much goin on, just chillin."
They bro-hugged each other then did their secret handshake.
"Haha, you workin hard or hardly workin?"
"Fuck you man, you know how I roll."
"Word, haha, it's cool if I buy a few beers and some snacks right?"
"For sure man, just watch yourself and don't get too drunk aight?"
"Hey, you know how I roll man."
"Whatever dude, haha."
Katara stayed silent throughout the conversation and Aang almost forgot that she was there.
"Oh, bee tee dub, Julio, this is my friend, Katara. Katara, Julio. Julio, Katara."
"Pleased to meet you." Katara said as she shook his hand.
"I'll just leave you two to get acquainted, i'm gonna be over there." Aang stepped over to the chips aisle.
"Likewise, uh, pardon me Katara, but may I just say, you made a good choice on Aang being your boyfriend. He's a keeper."
She blushed furiously and looked away but replied anyway.
"Wait how did you know we were together? Aang just introduced me as his friend."
"Oh come on, anyone with eyes could see that you two are dating, you guys already look more than friends. And your face is as red as the devil's dick."
Katara blushed even harder and tried to change the subject.
"So have you guys known each other long?"
"Since middle-school."
"Wow, middle-school? You guys must be best friends."
"Eh, kinda, we went to different high-schools and we had a little bit of a communication breakdown, but were still buds."
"That's great. I wish I kept in contact with some of my elementary school friends."
"Words of advice, keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. And that young grasshopper is today's lesson, it was nice meeting you."
Julio shook her hand again and went back to his magazine.
Hmm, keep my friends close and my enemies closer? What does that mean? That's some type of Confucious/Buddha philosophy. She thought.
Katara walked over to Aang who was perusing through the various brands of chips.
"What'd Julio say?" Aang asked.
"Oh nothing, just asking if I was single." She lied.
"Haha, yeah, that's Julio."
"You're not mad?"
"Julio flirts with everyone, even if girls already have boyfriends, some of them get seduced but some of them stay strong."
"So, you're not bothered at all?"
"Kinda, but Julio's one of my best friends and I know he wouldn't do me like that. Now help me make a decision here, Cool Ranch or Nacho flavor Doritos?"
"Just get both." She replied.
Suddenly, Aang kissed her on the cheek.
"Genius!" He exclaimed as he walked over to the cash register with two six-packs of beer in one hand and the chips in another.
Katara stood there shocked and let her hand run over her cheek where Aang had kissed her. She felt the wetness he left there from his lips and to be honest, she liked it.
I'm never washing this cheek again, haha, no that'd be gross. She thought.
"All right bro, that'll be $18.50."
"Aight, uh, here." Aang handed him a $20.
"Thanks man, hey, bee tee dub, a local guitarist is looking to start a band, i thought you might be interested?" Julio said as he handed Aang his change.
" Yeah man, if he ever comes back, give him my digits, tell him my name, and that I play guitar too."
"For sure man."
They bro-hugged for the last time that evening, then did their secret handshake, but as Aang was about to leave, he noticed Katara was still standing in her spot with her hand over her cheek.
"Yo, Katara, look alive, let's roll!"
She snapped out of her daze.
"Oh, coming!"
They exited the store and got back into Aang's car. The drive going back home was just as the drive going to the store; fast and furious, which made Katara return to her frightened state.
As they turned onto Aang's street they noticed that a lot of cars were already parked in front of his house.
"Oh shit, looks like the party already started without us." Aang said.
"Looks like my brother couldn't wait till we got here."
"Oh well, what's done is done, let's just have a good time."
Aang had to park on the side of the street because cars were blocking his driveway.
The two teens stepped out of the vehicle, booze and munchies in hand towards the front door. They could already here the sound of thumping music from the basement. Aang knocked on his door hard. No response. He tried the doorbell. No response. He knocked and rang the doorbell at the same time. Still no response.
"The music's too loud Aang, is there another way in?" Katara asked.
"Of course there is my dear."
He reached into his pocket and took out his house keys.
"And here we go.." he said as he unlocked the door.
The strong odor of 'Mary Jane' immediately hit their nostrils as Aang opened the door.
"Shit, it smells like a Cypress Hill concert here." Aang joked.
"Sokka! *cough* Open up a fucking window! *cough*" Katara could barely breathe.
"Here let me help you." Aang offered her his handkerchief.
"Thanks. *cough* I'll be outside for awhile."
"Sure, take your time."
After he offered her the cloth he walked through the crowd of people and opened up every window in his house. Letting the smell out and fresh air in.
"What the fuck man, why you breaking the box!"
Aang recognized the voice as Sokka, who was lounging on the couch, his eyes as red as the devil himself.
"ME! You never said anything about WEED! You just said beer and snacks, which I got!"
"We needed the snacks because we were going to get hungry because were so high right now."
"Fuck man. This is bad, I can't be caught with a bunch of high people right now."
"Chill bro, you said your dad was coming home tomorrow morning, relax."
Aang grumbled. "Fine, whatever man, let's just enjoy the rest of the night."
"Good, now hit this." Sokka offered him a joint.
Aang stared at it, hesitant to smoke it.
"Come on dude, it's not bad, just a little one."
"Uhhh."
"If you don't hit this, were gonna have a problem."
"Okay fine, one hit."
"Wooo, all right!"
Aang put the joint in his mouth and Sokka lit it for him. He inhaled for a good four seconds then started coughing as if his lungs were going to come out.
"Hahaha, you'll get used to it man." Sokka laughed.
"Shit, I need a water, *cough*"
"Don't be a bitch dude."
"Fuck you man, I need water *cough*"
Aang walked to his fridge and grabbed a bottled water and chugged it down to the last drop. Suddenly, a rush of blood hit his head and immediately started throbbing.
Jeez, this is the best tasting water I have ever had in my entire life, i feel as if i could drink the sea...
Aang took out another bottle and walked over to Sokka.
"Sokka have you tried the water? It's the best tasting water ever, in the history of the world!"
"Give it here."
Sokka gulped the thing.
"Oh my goodness, Best. Water. EVER."
"Right! Katara! Where are you?"
"I'm right next to you Aang."
"Oh, how long have you been standing there?"
"Right when you called my name. Uhhh, your eyes are really red, did you smoke some of Sokka's stash?"
"Uhhhh, no." He looked away..
"That's a lie..."
Aang and Katara turned towards the voice. They saw a short black haired girl standing there with a cup in her hand, she was barefoot and her eyes were blank. She was blind.
"Toph!" Katara ran over to her friend and hugged her.
"I'm glad you could make it."
"Likewise Sugar Queen."
Katara released her grip on the shorter girl.
"Toph, how do you know he's lying? I mean, no offense, but your blind."
"Anyone with eyes could see that he's lying, and I can't see so I shouldn't even be able to tell."
"So how can you?"
"His voice is very hesitant, and he's drawing out his words.. And I can feel that his heart skipped a beat."
"Wow. That's amazing. I didn't even know you could do that... Until now."
"Well when one sense fails the others become heightened."
Katara now turned to Aang.
"Well? Aang!"
"Huh? Oh. Wait What?" Aang was clearly dazed.
"Are you high right now or aren't you?"
"No... I mean yes.. what do you want me to say?"
"Ughhh, i can't deal with you right now, i would expect this from Sokka but not from you. I'm leaving." Katara walked out the door.
"Katara! Wait!" Aang called out.
The short girl grabbed him by the shoulder before Aang could chase after her.
"Let her go dude, your way too blazed for any physical activity right now, best thing to do is just enjoy, chill, and wait till you come down then you can try and talk to her."
"Thanks, I guess, oh by the way I'm Aang." Aang stuck out his hand.
The girl took his hand and shook it. "I'm Toph."
"Toph, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too Aang. You can really throw a decent party."
"Thanks but it was Sokka's idea."
"Huh, i should thank him later."
"Yeah, sure... Sorry I can't really focus right now, i need to lay down."
"No problem, i'm kinda buzzed right now too. Here let me help you to your room, where is it?"
"Up the stairs, first door on the left."
Toph put Aang's arm around her neck and helped him up the stairs. She opened the door and led him to his bed.
"Thanks Toph."
"Not a problem."
Aang's high was really taking effect on him now and he was getting feelings of relaxation and pleasure.
"Uh, Toph, this may seem kind of weird cause I just met you but can I cuddle with you?"
"Uh, sure, I don't see why not."
Toph climbed into the bed with him and Aang draped his arm over her as they both fell asleep quietly.
