Disclaimer- There is no Taang in the series, so I obviously don't own A:TLA.
A/N- Okay, so apparently there was nothing wrong with my computer, it was only temporary. Oops.
Oh, yeah. I just found out that Toph's mom's name in the series is Poppy. Sorry, I didn't know that when I started writing this. She was originally the only OC in this, but apparently, she's not. So she's REALLY OOC. Sorry about that.
Warning- LOTS of swearing on Ozai's part
Anyway, on with the story!
Midnight Sparks
"YOU'RE WHAT?!?" hollered Ozai into the phone. "HOW THE HELL DID YOU END UP IN JAIL?! HOW COULD BE SUCH A DUMBASS!?!"
"I'm sorry daddy, I really don't remember," she said quietly.
"HOW THE HELL DO YOU NOT REMEMBER, DAMNIT?!"
"I was drunk."
"Azula, you know I don't care if you drink, BUT YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO GET DRUNK OFF YOUR ASS!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Azula said into the phone.
"I DON'T CARE HOW SORRY YOU ARE! DO YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE TABLOIDS PICK UP ON THIS, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY?!
Ozai took a deep breath and clamed down… a little bit.
"I'll have Zuko come down and pick you up. But when you get home, you are grounded for a month!" he said.
Azula, even though she was outraged by this, knew there was no talking back to her father. "Yes daddy."
Ty Lee and Sokka staggered out of the club at midnight.
"HAPPY NEW YEARS!" Sokka shouted to the sky when it struck midnight.
Ty Lee laughed out loud, throwing her head back. "Sokka, I don't think its New Years yet."
"So what? Who really cares? I don't!" he opened his arms wide as if he was shouting to the world.
"WOOT!" Ty Lee shouted to the sky.
They staggered around for a while, leaning on each other. Somehow, they ended up at an empty beach.
They flopped down on the white sand and looked up at the shining stars above them. The only noises around them were the waves quietly crashing against the beach shore.
"Isn't the moon so pretty tonight?" asked Ty Lee, looking up at the almost full moon.
Sokka looked over at the girl lying next to him in the cool sand. "Not as pretty as you are," he whispered to her.
Ty Lee turned her head towards Sokka and blushed visibly, even in the dark night sky.
They both turned their attention back to the night sky as they reached out and grabbed each other's hand.
It was around midnight when Aang and Toph left the club and headed back to Toph's house.
"So what'd you think of the club Toph?" Aang asked her.
"It was okay," she replied in a monotone, but her facial expression betrayed her. He could tell she had a great time.
"So you and the other guy seemed to get along pretty well. Do you like him?" he teased.
"Well, for your answer Twinkle Toes, I'm going out with him again this Friday," she said smugly.
"Well that doesn't give me much time to hammer him out," Aang said trying to sound serious, but obviously had laughter in his voice.
Toph chuckled. "Just don't hammer him out too hard. I still want to have a date this Friday."
"Don't worry, I won't hurt him."
There was silence for a few minutes, but the laughter that seemed to hang in the air kept it from being awkward.
When they reached Toph's house, she stepped out and started to walk over towards her house when Aang realized something.
"Hey Toph!" he called after her.
She turned around and walked back to her friend and leaned on the window.
"What's up?"
"I just realized you never told me your new boyfriend's name."
"Haru, why?"
"It'll make it easier for me to track him down before your date," Aang joked.
Toph laughed and punched him in the shoulder. "See ya later Twinkle Toes."
The next morning when Katara woke up, all the memories of the pervious night came flooding back to her. Dancing with Zuko had been wonderful. Until it got ruined by a phone call from his father about Azula being in jail and he had to bail her out. He had dropped Katara off at her house before going to the jail.
When he walked her to the door, he had asked if she would want to go out with him on a real date sometime. Katara had immediately said yes, and he had kissed her on the check before running back to his car to pick up his sister.
Katara turned over in her bed and saw it was almost time for school. She groaned as she got up.
She quickly got dressed and walked downstairs. When she got downstairs, she saw something unexpected. Her dad was still home.
Hakoda was sitting at the bar drinking a large cup of coffee. He looked up sharply when Katara walked in.
"Dad, what's wrong? Aren't you supposed to be at work now?" she asked as she picked up a glass of orange juice from the counter.
"Sokka never came home last night," he said.
Katara's eyes widened in shock as the glass in her hand slipped from her grip and went crashing to the floor.
A/N- That was very short. But I've got some writer's block. CURSE WHOEVER CAME UP WITH WRITER'S BLOCK!!!
Ahem… anyways, I hope you liked my tiny chapter. Please review.
