A/N: Wow I'm learning not to make you wait forever for a new chapter. After this one I'm going to be updating another story, but don't worry I'm not leaving this one. More chapters will be up in the following weeks. P.S all songs in this story that the girls sing unless said otherwise are made by me so if they suck…sorry.
Chapter Eight
Miya tapped her foot as she waited for Zuko at the back of the school, he wanted to meet her after school and he was the one who was late. "Just like a man," she mumbled to herself. She heard foot steps and turned around to see Zuko running towards her holding something in his arms. He stopped in front of her and gripped his knees catching his breath.
"S…sorry for being late…" he gasped and stood up. There was a light blush on his face and she couldn't help giggle.
"It's okay babe," she told him. "What did you call me for though? I have to meet Katara, Yue and Toph."
Zuko looked down and he pushed a sliver jersey into her face.
"Wha?" she took it and opened it up. It was Zuko's football jersey with a big red number one on it and his name on the back. "Zuko…you're giving me your jersey?" she asked looking at him.
He had a light blush on his nose and he scratched his head. "Yeah well you're the only girl I ever dated that really deserved to wear it. I hope you do wear it…I know it's not your style and all but…" he was cut of when he felt her kiss him.
Miya pulled back smiling, she slid the jersey on with a prideful smile on her face. "I'm proud to wear your jersey," she said kissing him again before running of. "I have to go meet the girls, but I'll call you tonight."
Miya practically skipped to the bus stop where her friends were waiting for her.
"Hey nice jersey," Toph said sarcastically.
"Thank you Toph," Miya said not caring about the sarcasm and twirling around.
Yue smiled and looked at Katara. "So now they are official."
"Weren't they official before?" Katara asked.
"Not in the eyes of the jocks and preps. One a football player gives his girlfriend his jersey they are going steady," she explained.
Miya stopped twirling around. "Do you think I should give him my soccer jersey?"
"Girls don't give the boys their jerseys," Yue replied.
"Why not?" asked Miya.
"Because…" Yue started
"Because no matter how cool Zuko is he's a guy and a jock guy, jocks only wear their own jerseys," Tops interrupted.
Katara snorted. "How would you know about all that Toph?"
"Simple," she smirked. "I'm also a jock and I know I'm sure as hell not wearing any other guy's jersey."
Miya frowned and zipped the jersey up. "Well Toph, Zuko isn't like those other guys and I know he would love to wear my jersey."
Katara leaned into Yue slightly. "Do you think Toph is right?"
"Well Zuko has always been a little jock-strap, but he had changed since being with Miya," Yue said with a light smile.
Katara sighed and looked at Miya's smile. "Let's hope so for all our sakes."
Toph crossed her arms and frowned. These damn girls are so boy-crazy. Yes, they all have guys and I don't. Personally I don't give a rats-ass, but must I hear about there love problems.
Katara slug her arm around Toph. "What's with the frown?"
Toph shrugged out of it. "Nothing I just like to do it."
Miya put her hands on her hips. "You better be okay, because I got the tickets to go see 300."
Toph smiled and glomped Miya. "YOU GOT THEM?!?"
Miya laughed holding the girl in her arms. "I had to sell my soul to my sister, but it was so worth it."
Katara rolled her eyes. "I can not believe you wanna see that blood-feast of a movie."
"Hello, have you met us?" Toph said smirking. "We have waited all our lives for this movie."
"We adore Sparta. Kick-ass woman, kick-ass men, that our kinda place," Miya finished.
Yue sighed as the bus came and they took their metro cards out and swiped in. As usual they went to the back of the bus.
Katara sat down with a thump and looked up at one of the advertisement. "Who the hell is Coconut Fred?"
Toph groaned. "Some dumb cartoon who lives with an island of talking fruit salad."
"What is our world coming to? Talking fruit?" Yue said with a scowl.
"You should see what they did to the Looney Tunes on that show the Loonatics Unleashed," Miya told them.
"I've seen it," Katara responded. "It's a damn shame."
Toph laughed out. "Remember Pinky and the Brain?"
"Do I ever that was comedy!"
"So was Tiny Toons!"
"No, the best was Animaniacs."
"YEAH!!" the girls all yelled.
"Now we have all these dumb ass shows. Like all the fucking Power Rangers," Toph said frowning. "Tommy was hot as hell, we hated Kimberly cause she was always flirting and the yellow and pink rangers were girls."
"Now they have male yellow rangers," Katara said.
"Or how about the new Pokemon! WHERE IS PIKACHU?" Miya yelled. "Sure we hate May and we wanna see Misty, but I sure as hell don't wanna see Tracy!"
The girls laughed and got looks from the people in the front. The girls laughter was reduced to snorts.
"One of these days they are gonna kick us of the bus," Katara said calming herself.
"I would like to see them try. So Toph are you getting off at my stop?" Miya asked.
"Yeah, since I'm going to the movies with you at eight."
Yue was quiet then looked at her friends. "What do you miss the most about your childhood?"
The other girls were quiet and looked at each other; none of them really had a wonderful childhood other than the cartoons.
Katara closed her eyes. "I miss my mom's cooking. Every weekend she would make us her Sink Gumbo, because she would put everything, but the kitchens sink into the meal. It would be so good hamburger meat, shrimp, and mushrooms." Katara had a smile on her face. "Those were the days."
"Your mom cooked for you?" Miya asked quietly.
"Yeah," Katara looked at her, "your mom didn't"
"Nope," Miya answered sadly. "The thing I miss the most are my cousins Amaterasu and Avani, and my two first friends, Jin and…Ba Nee. We would get into so much trouble together; my record said we only broke into school twice, but we did a half-dozen times."
Toph leaned onto Miya's shoulder. "What happened to them?"
"We all moved away after my dad died," Miya looked at her green eyes friend. "What about you? What do you miss the most?"
"Me? I miss being able to run around without worrying about when my leg was gonna give out," she said softly. "I miss the feeling of knowing that anytime I would get hurt it would heal, after my mom died nothing seemed to heal."
Miya and Katara hugged Toph tightly. Yue rubbed Toph's head. "It seems it would be more fitting to call us the Motherless than the Skirtless."
Katara looked up. "You didn't say your favorite memory Yue."
"Oh, I didn't?" she asked with a laugh as she pressed on the yellow type. "Well it's my stop anyway. I'll tell you tomorrow."
"Um…okay. I'll tell Sokka to call you later."
"Thanks," Yue said as she got off the bus. She waved at them until she was out of their sight.
Toph leaned back into the bus. "Our lives suck don't they?"
"Yep, sure do," Miya agreed with a nod.
"At least we have our…um hair," Katara offered with a strained smile.
"Ah, nice try Sugar Queen, we really have to teach you how to think on your feet."
They all laughed as the bus drove off into the distance. For now this was gonna be the only moment in time worth carrying about.

"Like, black is so over Mai," Ty Lee said as she walked down the street with her friends. "You really should try some red eyeliner or maybe gold."
"Or maybe you should keep your fashion advice to yourself," the dark girl spat.
"Well excuse me for having taste," Ty Lee said sticking her nose up.
Azula, however, was thinking. She had seen that new boy, Aang, she recalled his name being. He was kinda cute and the fact that he was Katara's made him all the more attractive in her eyes. So the plan was to get Aang for herself, Zuko for Mai and Sokka from Yue. A soft smirk appeared on her lips. The path of conquest.
Ties screeched next to them on the street and the girls yelped and step back. It was a jet black Mercedes and diamonds one the rims of the car.
"Someone went to Pimp My Ride," Mai commented.
The window rolled down to revel a tan teenager with deep golden eyes, she raised a brow and looked at Ty Lee. "You look familiar," she commented.
Ty Lee seemed nervous as she stepped back. "I, like, don't know what you're talking about. I've never seen any girl like you before."
The girl looked across to the person in the driver's seat. "Yo, Ama doesn't the pink girl look familiar?"
Another teen girl with deep red hair and brown eyes stood in the driver's seat showing off a pair of tight short shorts and a ripped AC/DC shirt. "Well, well if it isn't Ty Lee. Long time no see chick."
Azula and Mai looked at Ty Lee oddly, the pink girl shook. "Look I don't know you people, so like, stop harassing me or I'll call child services on you!"
"Well I'll be damned," the girl called Ama said folding her hands over her chest. "Little Ty Lee is a stuck up Clueless girl now? Who would have though huh Avani?"
Avani laughed and shook her head. "Not me. So Ty Lee you know where Miya stays? We wanna stop by and crash at her place for awhile."
"She lives on 789 St. On the corner of Oma and Shu," Ty Lee said wanting the girls gone.
"Thanks sell out," Ama said sliding back into her seat. "Oh, and by the way Ty Lee. Your friend in the red is sexy."
Avani laughed as Ama sped off, breaking the speed limit and leaving the Populars dazed.
"Azula did you just get hit on by a…"
"Shut the hell up Mai!"
A/N: Phew, that's over. This is another filler chapter, but it has important stuff that you need for later chapters so read it. Amaterasu aka Ama is a character from my other Avatar story as well as Avani.
