The chapter is really, truly random... ;
Katara's Point of View
Zuko's a Daddy's Boy
But you knew that...
"Kat!" Oh god no.
"Lee!" we kiss each other's cheeks in the air, that's probably the worst thing. If I don't follow "The Unwritten Rules of Popular" I will be vetoed as Azula put it so lightly.
Sokka follows obediently behind her eyes glued to her behind. She giggles and runs to hug "Jinnee" Sokka's eyes following directly. I slap him lightly and he shakes out of it.
"Do you have nothing better to do?"
"In fact no I don't." He goes back to staring.
"I think I liked you better when we didn't talk."
"What? You know you could've just scarred me for the rest of my life."
This gets a giggle out of me I almost don't even remember the sound.
"Hey Sokka!"
"Toph?"
What? They can't talk!
"How's Ty Lee?"
What is wrong with Toph?
"Umm good." Ty Lee somehow senses her name and cartwheels back over to use enveloping Sokka in a kiss.
"Toph?"
"Bye Katara." She just walks away to join Yue and Suki who both glare at Sokka.
"Katara."
I turn around; no one is in the hallways save for Sokka and Ty Lee.
I distinctly here Zuko playing the trumpet but nothing else.
"Down here!" the whisper is harsh and I turn around to follow it down the hallway.
The lights flicker on and then off. The clouds that were gathering all day splattered onto the ground. Thunder boomed above causing Ty Lee to scream.
Not a little scream, the kind you hear in the old movies.
That kind of piercing, bone-chilling, gut wrenching, spine tingling, ear breaking, screeching scream.
The scariest part was that the figure I saw down the hallway disappeared into the storm before I could follow them
Zuko's Point of View
Eb...F...G...A...A.
Someone taps me on the shoulder and I turn to see Aang.
I resist throwing the trumpet into his eye.
"Zuko? Can I talk to you?"
"Um sure." He said it as if he was talking to an older brother.
"What am I going to do?"
I laughed this was one of the most idiotic question I have ever heard.
"This is serious."
The tone he said it in immediately shut down my joy, "Aang, you are the Indie."
"Like it matters anymore."
I almost nod in agreement but stop thinking hard. "Aang what are you listening to?"
"The White Stripes."
"Right." I figure I'll let him figure out the rest.
"So I still am the Indie?"
"Yes my little friend." I raise me hands in mock celebration.
"But how am I going to fix this?"
"I will give you two words but you have to leave me alone after that."
He nods eyes alight with hope.
"Battle of the Bands. This weekend at the school picnic."
He begins counting the number of words I said, I just glare and he gets the message, "Thanks Zuko!" He hugs me and, wait for it, skips away.
"Sure."
B...C...D...A...
Omnipresent
"Father." Azula bows to him, "I have news."
The man turns to Azula, "Yes Azula?"
"Iroh," Ozai immediately sits up at the mention of his rival, "Helped my dear brother."
Ozai stands up pacing. This means at the next school board meeting he can finally take over and place his own candidates in the Board.
Iroh was the only thing between him and complete power and now that he's helped his fool of a son only one person has enough experience to take over.
"Azula, you have done well, but what about this fabled 'Indie'?"
"Please Father I have a plan, but it does require my brother."
"What do you suggest?"
"Tell him that if he captures Aang and somehow keeps him from the All-School picnic he can have School Council President."
"I thought you wanted that."
"I do." Azula grins evilly.
Ozai comes from behind the desk and places a hand on his daughter's shoulder, "I have raised you well."
Later...
"You called me?"
"Zuko, I want to return you your honor."
Zuko blinks in surprise, "What?"
"You have shown your worth, I want you back." He nods, "My son."
"What must I do?"
"Keep the Indie away from the picnic."
"Aang?"
The father nods while Zuko can't help but think he ad told Aang not two hours ago how to defeat his sister and in turn his father.
"I will regain my honor. I will capture the Avatar."
"The Avatar?"
"Speech malfunction I've been having it a lot..."
"Maybe we should get that checked out..."
"Ya..."
AHHHH this is sooo random…but donki-shouben helped me out and don't forget the ever helpful Orzhov:)
But I need to know, is the added factor of Ozai and control of the Student Counsel to much?
Please answer truthfully. And if all goes well we will be having a Battle of the Bands,
