Long time no write. Sorry bout that. I have literally done nothing exciting other than writing another essay for english (best in the class if i do say so myself. definetly the funniest), and failing an essay in history (I just gave up since i didnt know anything). Also, my friend got me addicted to Montris. It's just like tetris, but a bit different...you'd have to play it. (primarygames) in case you wanted to know...yeah...

The names are of the drabbles are Painting, Hide and Seek, Flour, and Found Ya

Painting happens not long after the war, when the entire group is together and Sokka is trying to impress everyone with his art.

Hide and Seek is pretty much over. Bumi wins and loses when playing with Lin.

Flour...just guess.

Found Ya is also a game of hide and seek, but much cuter. I really loved writing that one.


Painting

"Mountains?" Sokka shook his head at Katara's guess.

"Uh…giant rocks?" Aang tried, squinting his eyes from his chair a few feet away and leaning in a bit to get a closer look at the painting his friend was proudly showing off, but it was mostly squiggly lines and impossible to decipher. They had already spent nearly a half hour guessing about what the mess of lines could possibly be, but no one had figured it out.

"No," Sokka sighed.

"A dragon?" Toph tried lazily, laying on her stomach and resting her head on her hands. She blew her bangs out of her face as Sokka sighed again, shaking his head.

"Nope, nope, and nope. And not funny Toph," Toph shrugged in response.

"It's obviously a hog monkey climbing a tree," Zuko declared from his spot across the table. Sokka sighed in defeat.

"I don't think any of you will figure it out," he said.

"Is it you, Sokka?" Aang asked, raising an eyebrow. Toph snickered.

"It's probably Suki again," she said, making everyone laugh except for Sokka, who shook his head in exasperation.

"Are you holding it upside down?" Katara tilted her head to look from a different angle.

Sokka looked down at it, "No. This is correct."

"I give up," Aang sighed in defeat, slouching back in his seat and crossing hi arms. Several nods of agreement went around the room.

"It's an upside down Momo eating a leechee nut while hanging from a branch by his tail."

All heads turned to Mai, who had been quietly sitting next to Zuko up until that point. She looked at all of them before shrugging.

"Isn't it obvious?"

"No. Not really," Suki said from her seat a few feet away.

"Whatever," Mai replied, standing, "I'm going to bed. Goodnight."

Once she was gone, everyone turned to Sokka. He beamed ear to ear, "See. That wasn't so hard."

Everyone except Sokka, who was left grinning at his success alone, turned to look at Zuko this time. He just shrugged, "No clue."


Hide and seek

"I hope you realize you're in trouble." Bumi turned to see the person he had succeeded at avoiding for the past hour and a half.

"I hope you realize that I realized I was in trouble the second I saw you coming," he replied sheepishly, turning on his heels to run, but he found that his feet were already encased in rock. So much for any chance of escape.

Lin walked up to him triumphantly and he tried to squirm his way free of his predicament.

"I'm too young to die!" he exclaimed melodramatically, throwing his arms out in front of him to protect himself.

"You're pathetic," Lin laughed, punching him hard on the shoulder.

"But did I win?" Bumi smirked, laughing as he rubbing his shoulder.

Lin crossed her arm and nodded, "First rule is to stay off the ground when I play. I don't know when Kya and Tenzin are gonna learn. Where were you hiding though? I must've been around the island ten times."

"Can't say," Bumi smirked, "I love winning too much. Who's up next?"

"You were hiding for over an hour and you want to play again?" Bumi nodded eagerly, and she shrugged, "We gave up on finding you a long time ago. You can ask Tenzin or Kya, but they're both busy now, and I was headed home for the day."

"Oh. In that case, can you please release me? Kinda gotta go."

Lin shook her head, smirking, "Think of it as punishment for winning."

"That's so unfair! Please? I really have to go to the bathroom."

Lin shrugged, "Shoulda thought of that earlier."

"I did! Why do you think I'm not still hiding!? Please let me go?" He smiled hopefully, but it faded as soon as he saw the look on her face.

Lin laughed and turned to leave, "Nope. Bye."

Bumi looked down at his feet, still encased in stone, and back up to the retreating Lin, "You are cruel. Can you at least get my dad for me?"

"Thanks, and no," she called back, soon disappearing behind one of the buildings.

"How does Tenzin stand her?" He mumbled to himself, looking around for anything that could possibly be used to aid his escape. Seeing nothing, he sighed, "This may take a while."


Flour

The Avatar was used to seeing strange things, even at his home, which could be considered anything but normal with his kids running around. So seeing his two elder children suspiciously sliding the kitchen door shut behind them and trying to sneak through the dining room wasn't much of a shock. What shocked him was that they were covered head to toe in white powder. Kya appeared to have tried wiping some of it off in vain, but Bumi looked like he was about to die of laughter, some of the powder falling off in a trail as he moved. He somehow managed to keep quiet though, and neither noticed their father staring at them curiously from across the room.

"What do you think you're doing?" He asked, startling both of them.

"Absolutely nothing! Why would we be doing anything? Nothing going on here!" Bumi jumped. When he saw his father, he smiled nervously. Aang rolled his eyes and walked over to them.

"Then why are you covered in…?" Aang pulled a bit of powder from his son's hair and rubbed it between his fingers, raising an eyebrow as he realized what it was, "Flour?"

Bumi tried not to laugh, Kya coming up behind him with an irritated expression. She sighed, "We were trying to surprise you and Mom with a couple of pies, but, uh," she shrugged, "We needed an airbender to get the center right, so Tenzin helped. He was making sure we had enough flour."

"And?" Aang raised an eyebrow. That couldn't be all.

Bumi did laugh now, shaking his head so flour dropped in a circle around him on the floor, "He sneezed. Now the kitchen looks like the South Pole in winter!"

"Where's Tenzin?"

Kya shrugged, "Cleaning. He told us that he would take care of as much of it as he can while we get changed and make sure Mom doesn't go in the kitchen."

Aang nodded, smirking at them, "I'd say you have about five minutes before she wants to start making dinner. Have fun, and don't forget to cover your tracks," he said, pointing to the ground where small white prints marked their footsteps. Just like that, he was gone, leaving the two ghostly white kids running back into the kitchen to inform the youngest of these change of events.


Found Ya

"Appa Appa!" Kya ran up to the large bison, which lifted his head from where he was sleeping and yawned in response to the excited child. The four year old laughed and hugged as much of him as she possibly could by grabbing onto his fur, "Wanna play hide and seek?"

Appa grumbled in agreement and stood, shaking out his fur after she let go.

Kya grinned at him, "K. You hide first and I'll count to, uh…" she put a finger to her chin in thought, "fifteen. No flying and Mommy said I have to stay in front of the house." Appa listened intently to the little girl and she nodded when she was done. Kya turned and covered her eyes with her hands. "Okay. You can hide now."

Appa turned his head to look for a place to hide, choosing a small bush and ducking unsuccessfully behind it, but still watching her to make sure she didn't cheat.

"Eight, nine, ten," she turned and uncovered one eye, looking around for Appa. He caught the motion and roared, causing her to pout and cover her eyes again. She turned away from him and sighed, "Eleven, twelve, thirteen fourteen fifteen!" she said quickly, "Ready or not here I come!"

She turned around and laughed at the completely visible bison. He had his front legs in front of his face and she ran to jump on him, "Found ya!"

Appa mumbled in agreement, raising his head to look at the little girl on his leg. She giggled and petted his nose, "My turn!" She quickly jumped off of him and he turned to watch her. She pointed at him seriously, "Cover your eyes and no peaking." Appa snorted, but moved his feet in front of his eyes again, keeping them closed and giving a quiet roar in place of each number.

By the time he opened his eyes and looked around, Kya was well hidden behind a tree, but she was laughing too much. He moved very slowly up to the side of the tree and looked around it, Kya squealing when his wet nose touched her hand. He licked her and she laughed, "You found me! Your turn!" Appa grumbled in agreement and turned to find a new hiding place as she faced the tree and covered her eyes.

"One, two, three…" she began.

Aang laughed, watching from the window as his tiny daughter and giant bison played hide and seek, Katara coming up beside him and handing him a cup of tea. She leaned next to him and watched with a smile as well. "Best game I have ever seen," he smiled, bringing the cup to his lips. Katara nodded in agreement, laughing as Appa pretended Kya hadn't found him, even though she was trying to push a leg away from the bison's eyes and telling him otherwise.

"Did you used to play hide and seek with Appa?" Katara cast an amused glance at her husband, smiling and bringing her own cup of tea to her lips.

Aang nodded, putting his cup on the windowsill and leaning on his elbow as if in thought, "I remember him being a bit harder to find though."

Katara laughed and they both watched as the game continued.


I'll try to have a longer story up soon, but i needed a break and just loved writing these, and a couple other drabbles that didnt make it in here because i wasnt done with them. I have a feild trip tomorrow, so I'll try to write something then, but...my friends will find ways to distract me. Last time i went on a fieldtrip, I did actually ductape one of my friends feet togeher. She said it was okay with it though, and even let me ductape her to a tree. Let's just say I'm not taking ductape, but i will try my best to write.
