Serpent's Pass Rewrite (Avery's Version)

Disclaimer: We don't own Avatar….blah blah blah. But we own Chito, Lexi, and Avery. No stealing allowed.

Warning: Sokka fans may not be pleased. Fans of Mole People from the Underground City will be delighted.


While Lexi was busy ruining a Kataang moment, Avery had one mission she had to complete.

"Please change your child's name to Bob the Hobo!" she pleaded to the happy new parents inside the rock tent.

They gave her an odd look and said, once again, said, "No, her name is Hope."

"But Hope is a Hobo too!" Avery whined, "It wouldn't hurt to change it to Bob!"

"But our child is a girl."

"How about Bobette then?" she suggested.

"No." They gave her a look that said, "We're calling the Funny Farm." and ignored her.

Avery sighed and looked up to see Toph and Sokka enter the tent, then sit on the rock bench. They were sitting close to each other, too close for Avery to allow. Great, now I have to ruin a Tokka moment AND convince these parents. Don't I ever get a day off?

Avery growled, deciding that Bob could wait; she couldn't just sit here and let this Tokka moment fly by unscathed. She would be breaking her oath to stop Tokka whenever and wherever possible if she didn't!

"My friends!" she squealed, squeezing herself between the two. "My buddies! My pals that don't go together!"

They both looked annoyed, and Avery couldn't leave the Non-Tokka moment at just that. She made up her mind and decided to replace it with a Taang moment instead of just leaving it loose. But she needed to get rid of Ponytail…

"Hey Sokka, can I talk to you?" Avery asked. Sokka shrugged and followed her onto a small hill far away from the campsite.

"What did you need to talk to me about?" he asked.

She shrugged. "Oh nothing, just…." She violently shoved him onto a tree and tied him to it with bubble gum. She stopped him from talking by sticking a flip-flop in his mouth and hurried away.

Ok, now all I have to do is find Baldy. She thought as she headed down the hill.

A gust of wind speeding by her ruffled Avery's hair and she looked up to see a disheveled looking Zuko sprinting down the path. She was confused to say the least by the time Katara shuffled past her, panting heavily.

"What happened?" Avery cried and Katara took a few gulps of air before attempting to explain.

"Zuko...being nice...something fishy." But Zuko wasn't anywhere near...oh. Maybe that's what Lexi had planned for that Zuko costume she'd been saving.

"Nothing fishy about that!" Avery tried to sound convincing but it was hard to do when the man you were talking about was actually your best friend in poorly made costume. She left Katara to chase him/her but Lexi was probably long gone.

She entered the tent to see Aang and Toph sitting on the bench, as far away from one another as the bench allowed.

Improvising, Avery yelled, "Scoot!" and pushed Aang toward Toph. She guided some vines via waterbending over the pair, tying them to the bench.

"Avery!" they yelled, blushing furiously as they tried unsuccessfully to untangle themselves from under the vines.

"Oops, sorry my hand slipped!" Avery said innocently, then continued with her earlier mission; getting the parents to change the darn kid's name to Bob the Hobo.

Another Tokka moment gone. She though happily.

As it turned out, they didn't change Hope's name to Bob, which left Avery disgruntled. They left camp, Katara still thoroughly confused and Aang and Toph still blushing. Avery snuck away to exchange a word with Lexi before they trooped onward.

"Great job." whispered Lexi. "And a round of applause to Chito." Avery added. "I still wish those darn parents changed the darn kid's name to Bob."

"You and Bob, I swear.." Lexi laughed.

An hour or so later, Suki said, "I don't know why, but I feel like we have forgotten something."

"Yeah." the group looked around. Then Katara spotted something out of the ordinary. "Aren't we missing someone?" Katara asked.

Avery gasped. "Oh crap. Sokka!"


(Somewhere else)

"Avmph!" Sokka tried to yell past the flipflop in his mouth. "Avmph! Comph bach heph!" He struggled in the bubble gum.

They always forget me. He though sadly.

Suddenly he heard something from behind that sounded suspiciously like a power saw. He managed to turn his head to see a giant mole person driving the saw deep into the wood of his tree. The tree cracked with an earsplitting noise and slowly fell backwards. Sokka screamed as the mole person carried the tree away.
