Standard disclaimers apply. I don't know anything recognizable. Seriously.
Day 3: Motorcycle (AU Time! This is was annoying hard for some reason… hence why it's short!)
When Sokka got home from his date with Suki he was not expecting to find his best friend and younger sister sitting on the living room floor, half-eaten pizza and an empty two liter of soda between them, playing video games. A crash and squealing of tires from the stereo alerted him to the flat screen, where Resident Evil 6. Since when did his sister play video games with someone other than himself? Hell, he hadn't even know that she had gotten RE6.
"A freaking helicopter? Really?" Katara yelled at the TV screen, gripping her controller tighter.
"No kidding!" Zuko groused, "Shooting from the back of a motorcycle? I envy you not, Kat."
"Can it, Zuko. Pay attention to your driving, would you?"
Sokka folding his arms across his chest; bemused that neither of them had noticed him enter the room. His sister made amusing high-pitched yelps as her character fired behind the motorcycle at the helicopter. There was a tense moment soon after where the motorcycle burst out into the open, only to be stared down by a J'Avo wielding a rocket launcher. Zuko yelled, "shoot, shoot, shoot!" followed by Katara's "I'm trying, damn it!" Sokka really should be recording this on his cell, it was just too freaking hilarious. His sister managed to shoot the thing, however, allowing them to continue on the next portion of their chase. The next scene was worse. Zuko had to drive while Katara had to take are of other baddies on motorcycles themselves, pursued them. Never had he heard his best friend or sister swear so much, it was a shame his battery was dead on his phone. He winced when cars and trucks, flaming and not, appeared as obstacles to foil Zuko's driving skills. Just when Sokka thought it couldn't get worse, the helicopter showed up again. Now Katara's character dangled precariously from the helicopter as she mashed the O button, praying her hand wouldn't give out until the scene was over. Thankfully, or not, the chase continued now with the bad guys tossing Molotov's at them. Oh look, there was the helicopter again. Zuko's knuckles whitened as he gripped the controller, concentrating.
When the helicopter shot out the semi carrying cars on its trailer, Sokka knew they were in trouble. Seconds later a car tumbled into view on screen, coming right for them. "Whoa!" he shouted, scaring both of them. The split second that Zuko looked over his shoulder at his friend was all it took. The words "You Are Dead" followed by "Continue Yes/No ?" appeared on screen.
"Shit." Zuko swore.
"Uh, my bad man."
"You seriously suck, Sokka." Katara scowled, "Do you know how long we've been trying to beat Jake and Sherry's story?"
"Seriously, dude. We've never been that far." Zuko ran his hand through his hair, locks sticking up at random angles when he removed his hand.
"No, I – Wait!" Sokka looked between the two of them. From the look of things, this was something that they did on a regular basis. So how had he never caught them before this? "How long has this… video game-ness been going on?"
"Um, since you've been dating Suki." His sister replied, sheepish.
"Six months?" Sokka glared at Zuko, "The hell, man? I get a girlfriend and suddenly you think it's cool to spend time with my baby sister, ALONE?"
"He's better at Resident Evil 5 than you are." Katara snorted, "He doesn't get Chris killed by watching headshots in my screen."
"Yeah, it's not like we've been dating this whole time either." Zuko commented, and then froze when he realized he'd said something he shouldn't have.
"What do you mean, 'this whole time'?" Sokka made strangling motions with his hands, "You're dating my SISTER?"
"Real smooth, Zuko." Katara commented. "You might want to run now."
Zuko bolted for the front door with Sokka in hot pursuit. Hakoda dodged the two boys as they ran from the house. Placing his keys in the bowl on top of one of the speakers, he raised an eye brow at his daughter.
"I take it that your brother knows now."
"Yep."
