Hello all. Back again much more frequently now that I have more spare time again. Oh and really I do have spare time, I posted a random songfic I'd been thinking of doing for awhile, called "Welcome to the Soldier Side." It's a bit depressing, but I'm proud of it, so check it out. Until then, I've got another funfilled chapter of Zuko the Magician.
A long, long time ago in a gal- well not really, but it was awhile ago…
Ty Lee's heart was broken. She had loved Sokka. She's hoped that some day he might love her. But no. He'd picked Suki. What did Suki have that she didn't have? She didn't know. She tried not to dwell on such things but the pain was terrible. She didn't think she would get over it. Never. Never ever. What was she supposed to do with her life now? She'd hoped to share her life with Sokka, but those dreams were shattered. What was she supposed to do with the broken pieces of her life?
The answer was simple. She took up and new goal. A new task. What did she do? She became a street vendor. She sold hot dogs on the city corner. That's what she did.
Present day on the city corner at a certain hot dog stand…
"Hmm, no wait; make that two hot dogs… No three… Oh hell, make it four… wait, I shouldn't… Oh," the customer fretted over his choices whilst holding up the line. "Should I get relish? Is relish good? Wait it gives me gas, hmmm… oh."
Ty Lee tapped her foot slightly. She cleared her throat. "I have other customers, sir."
"Oh, I'll just be a moment more. I… uh…. Oh… I think… two… with relish."
Ty Lee quickly served up the hot dogs and sent the man on his way. Anyone who'd been in the line knew that it would be best not to stand behind that man anymore. Unfortunately, there were people on the crowded subway car who had not been in that line.
At the city park, just down the block…
"Oh, my pretties, come, come," a dark woman crooned to her pigeons. She was not old like most pigeon feeders. She was young in fact, perhaps in her twenties. "Yes, eat up. Then you'll be miserable and fat and no one will like you," she added vindictively.
The birds, which had no knowledge whatsoever of the English language, continued on with their feast, completely oblivious to the ill thoughts directed towards them.
"I hate life. I hate you. I hate life. I hate people," the woman said monotonously. The birds ignored her, intent on a free meal. "WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO ME?" she demanded. The pigeons jumped, but the magnetism of food kept them from flying away in fright.
A few people however were much more startled by the woman's outburst and gave her some odd glances. She glared back at them. "YEAH! THAT'S RIGHT! KEEP WALKING!"
Back at the hot dog stand, much later in the evening…
Ty Lee, her business finally having slowed down, packed up her things and began wheeling the cart down the street. She was headed to the park, humming softly. She dragged the cart along behind her as it bumped on the park's cobblestone path. She stopped before a dark woman yelling at some pigeons. "Oy, Mai. Let's go!"
Mai grumbled at got up to join her. "Damn birds aren't listening again."
"Bummer."
Karaoke time with Toph…
"Bleah, the song in my head. The song in my head." Toph shook her head briskly. "Bleah. Still there."
Aang glanced over at her. "Try singing a different song."
"But then that song will get stuck in my head."
Aang shrugged. "Pick a better song."
"Chava, oh Chava, aren't you the lucky bride? He's handsome, He's tall, That is from side to side, But he's a good man a good match, Right? Right. You heard about his temper. He'll beat you every night. But only when he's sober, so you're alright!"
Aang chuckled at the Fiddler music still stuck in her head.
"Dear Yenta, see that he's gentle, remember, you were also a bride, it's not that I'm sentimental, it's just that I'm terrified!"
"WOULD YOU QUIT THE SHOWTUNES! WE'RE TRYING TO SLEEP! I'LL CALL THE SUPER ON YOU!"
Toph laughed. "Pissed off the neighbors again."
"TO LIFE!" Aang declared.
"To life!" Toph agreed.
"TO JAIL!" the neighbor shouted.
"Oh, shit."
In a mystical valley full of sunshine, daisies, and happy rainbows… wait, what the hell? That isn't right… How about, in a foreboding alleyway somewhere in the city… that's good yeah, foreboding alleyway it is…
Jet glanced around him sneakily. A dark, recognizably unrecognizable figure emerged from the shadows. Jet knew it was the man he was looking for. Or so he thought. "Do you have it?"
The man pulled off his hood and revealed himself to be an ordinary hobo. "What the hell?"
"Oh, sorry, wrong guy."
The hobo shrugged. "That's what they all say." He wandered off.
Another dark, recognizably unrecognizable figure emerged from the shadows. This time Jet was sure it was who he thought it was. But still he had to check. "Are you just another hobo?"
The figure's laugh was cold. "No."
"Do you have it?"
"The key? Yes."
"Well?"
"It will cost you."
"How much?"
"I'll decide later. For now, just kill the boy as your payment."
"You… you want him dead?"
"Don't you?"
"Well, yes, but, I wouldn't think that you…"
"That I what? He's a disgrace. You can kill him."
"Ok."
Well, that's it for now. Oh what will happen next? Hmmm… I really don't know. I'll take requests for characters that you want to see. I'll give them some random life and it will be most excellent. So if you want to see someone, just ask and I'll add them in. I just had to do Mai and Ty Lee because they're fun. I'm trying to think of a strange job for Haru, but I haven't come up with anything yet. Oh and we need Bumi. Bumi is amazing. Anyway. Read, review, and check out my new songfic, "Welcome to the Soldier Side." Sad, but good. Oh and by the way, I recently found some random site that was trying to petition to get avatar off the air. Well as you can imagine, I was horrified. And if you want to read my rant about they those people and all their reasons are full of shit, check out my profile. It's on the bottom. Until next time, toodles.
