What Was The World Coming To?

Chapter 10

Spade

"No, you're sleeping on the couch." Zita pointed to the couch and headed to the kitchen.

"This is my house! You're sleeping on the couch!" Will shouted and ran after her.

"Oh contraire," Zita pulled her feet up onto the kitchen table and grabbed a grape-apple, "I am your guest, oh mighty Will." She took a bite out of the fruit, "Shouldn't you be a good host and let me have your bed?" she smirked, "I mean, seriously. You can sleep on it anytime you want- I'll just have it for…however long I stay here!" she threw the pit over her head and into the sink and pulled her feet off the counter.

"No, no, no, no! Fire Lord said nothing about giving up my bed! All he said that you had to live with me!" Will retorted stubbornly.

Zita shrugged, "Oh well, life sucks. What can you do, right?" she slipped off her chair and headed upstairs.

"Wait, where are you going?" Will grabbed her wrist before she could make it any farther.

"Going to your room," she shrugged and then smirked evilly "just going to Zita-fy it….add some," she clicked her tongue, "pizzaz. Some, I don't know…. je ne sais quoi?"

Will gulped.

Addi and Aiden were sent by their sister to buy blueberries. Why? As everyone knew, their parents were coming back home- and they had a slight obsession with blueberries. Yah…..

"How do you think Nadra's dance group is going to take her not being able to dance?" Aiden shoved his hands in his pockets.

Addi shrugged, "Obviously, they're going to be disappointed. But, if they were her true friends, they wouldn't mind."

Aiden nodded, "True, true. Separate the friends from the enemies."

His sister rolled her eyes, "Not enemies stupid." She stated.

Aiden shrugged, "Whatever."

As the twins neared the corner store, they began to witness a strange scene. Addi sped her pace to get a better look and maybe eavesdrop a little. Aiden followed her lead and slowed down when they neared the strange looking people.

Addi's eyes widened as she nudged her brother, "It's Iroh and Toph!" she said out of the corner of her mouth so they wouldn't hear her. Addi nodded, "Act calm. It doesn't look like they know where they are."

Aiden and Addi nodded and walked past them slowly. Addi half expected them to ask where they were but to her dismay and confusion nothing happened. Aiden looked at her and shrugged and they both entered the store.

At the counter a girl caught both their attention. Her hair was light brown with tips that have turned slightly blonde from sun. Aiden presumed she was about 5'3, give or take of course. Her eyes were dark brown and her skin was a light tan- Addi suspected she spent most of her time outside. Neither of them could guess her age without guessing she was too old or too young. Her hands were covered with fingerless gloves, and the rest of her arm up to her elbow was covered with poorly wrapped bandages. She wore pale brown sweat pants that stopped below her knees and from there on were again, wrapped in bandages- except properly this time. Her shirt was dark brown short sleeved shirt with a loose collar that covered her neck. A piece of ripped mid-night blue clothing was tied around her upper fore arm- on the piece of clothing was a light blue 'spade'.

"Mmhmm, they're with me." She nodded and put her wallet back into her 'Guess' purse and smiled friendly at the cashier behind the counter. She grabbed her plastic bag which Addi thought was filled with candy.

The girl walked out of the store and greeted Iroh and Toph and pointed down the street.

"Oh crap, she's already with them." Aiden nudged his sister worriedly. Addi nodded, "We gotta make friends with her."

Aiden and Addi rushed out of the store and calmly walked over to her; Addi calmed her heart rate, fearing Toph and her awesome earth powers to see if people are lying.

Aiden tugged on her sleeve, she looked down and smiled, "Yes?"

"Hi! I'm Aiden and this is my sister, Addi." He pointed, Addi waved, "She has something to ask you." He pushed her forward in the fail attempts of thinking of something to ask her.

Addi stumbled and stiffly waved, "Um," unable to think of an excuse, she decided to use the truth, "Your friends may want to meet some of my friends."

"HELP!" Cindy screamed to an empty hallway hoping someone would eventually hear her and help her out. Her neck was aching and her legs felt like jello from standing so long. She sighed and blew a strand of hair from her face, "MEN ARE USELESS!" her shout echoed through the hall.

Her body slouched and she rolled her eyes as her arms dangled in front of the bars, "WAFFLES ARE YUMMY!"

Her stomach growled as she groaned, "BECAUSE WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD! THE MAGICAL WIZARD OF OZ!" the hunger was getting to her- none of the guards had come to feed her since lunch and if she guessed right it was hours past dinner.

The door cracked open and Cindy's head shot up. She looked if he brought any food- unfortunately for her, it was a no. She frowned, "I thought you fed your prisoners."

The guard shrugged, "Whoopdie-dingle-doo." He remarked sarcastically and leaned on the wall beside her cell.

"Um, dude, I don't know if you've noticed….but my heads is kinda stuck." Cindy laughed nervously.

The guard rolled his eyes, "Does it look like a care?"

"Did it look like I was doing anything illegal when you guys randomly threw me in prison?"

She was met with silence from her witty comment, "That's right. Now seriously, I want my head free from these bars." She rubbed her neck, "They are seriously rubbing me the wrong way."

The guard facepalm.

Nadra fidgeted nervously on her couch. She hadn't broken the news to her friends about the competition just yet, but she planned to over the phone after dinner that night.

Addi and Aiden happily worked on 'welcome home' cards on their mother's coffee table.

Aang and Katara were in the kitchen working on dinner for Nadra since she still wasn't that comfortable walking. She could walk; it was just the very strong stinging sensation that shot through her soles.

Earlier that day, Addi and Aiden brought home Toph and Iroh and everyone got reunited. For the lack of rooms in the house, Nadra couldn't take them in. And that girl that was with them? Her name was Minyā Safājah. Nadra gave her the responsibility of taking care of them, she called her Spade. Nadra wouldn't admit it, but she had no idea how to spell or say her name and since she wore an arm band with a blue spade, she had decided to call her 'Spade'.

Aiden looked behind at Nadra, "Calm down, it's just mama and papa. They aren't going to baby you just because you burnt your feet."

Addi nodded but refused to look away from her art, "Yeah, you're a big girl now."

Nadra exhaled and her shoulders dropped, "Yeah, I guess." She mumbled. Sokka pat her back comfortingly, "Don't worry."

She smiled playfully, "You've never met him before, bimbo." He shrugged, "Sokka's intuition."

"Riighhtttt." She punched him.

He winced and gingerly rubbed the spot that had recently been bruised by her and Toph, "You punch like a….Toph."

Before Nadra could respond the door flew open causing Zuko, Nadra and Sokka to all flinch on the couch.

"We're home!"

Addi and Aiden pushed each other out of the way and ran to their parents, "We missed you!" they exclaimed excitedly as they were picked up by their father. He laughed heartedly, "I missed you too!" he let the twins go to hug their mother.

Nadras worried expression changed into an excited one, she squealed, "Daddy!" she jumped up as if her feet weren't burned and she ran to her father. Nadra's dad was in his early thirties his hair was raven black just like his daughters. His skin was tan like the twins. His eyes were green and his face had shown slight wrinkles. Around his mouth were smile lines. His jeans were denim and frankly, a little dirty, his shirt was a simple blue and white lined short sleeve with a couple of small holes.

His father hugged her back tightly as she wrapped her legs around his waist, "I missed you more than the twins." She chuckled to herself as she noticed the twins annoyed expressions.

"Oh, how's my baby girl?" he set her down gently and ruffled her hair, making it in complete disarray.

Nadra held back a cringe and she leaned on her left hip, "Dad, I'm not your 'baby girl'."

Her mother came forward and chuckled as she leaned on her husband and Nadras father, "She's right, you know. She's a young woman now."

Nadra smiled, "That's right, dad." She approached her mom slowly but not too slow to show injury and engulfed her in a giant bear hug. She was in her late twenties only making her a couple years younger than her husband. Her mother's hues were hazelnut which Nadra had mostly inherited. Her skin was pale like her daughters. The twins had inherited her midnight blue hair. She had small smile lines but showed no signs on wrinkles like her husband. Olay works wonders. She wore a pastel green summer dress.

"Oh, I missed you." She kissed her cheek and let go.

Nadra laughed, "I missed you too."

"Hey!" Aiden yelled from behind, "Excuse us, but why is she getting all the attention?" Addi finished off playfully.

The family laughed as the twins handed them their cards. Dad leaned over Nadra's shoulder as his face hardened, "Nadra, why are there two boys on your couch?"

She looked back, "Oh…." She scratched her neck, "It's really not as bad as it looks. They're just friends."

Sokka waved and shot them a friendly smile, Zuko gave a small wave as he smiled crookedly. Nadra's lips twitched upwards for a split second, she'd never noticed that he smiled crookedly before.

Aiden ran and pounced in the spot between the two teenagers, "This is SiFu Sokka and Zuko." He pointed to each of them. They nodded to him. Sokka was the first to stand, "It's an honour to meet you, sir." He walked to him and grabbed his hand to shake.

Zuko followed behind him, trying to make a good impression.

He chuckled and shook it back, "No need for formalities, Sokka. My name's Christopher. I'm guessing you're Nadra's boyfriend?"

Sokka blushed brightly as Nadra chocked on her saliva.

Nadra's mom laughed and playfully hit her husband, "Oh, nonsense, Chris." She laughed and pointed to Zuko, "What's your name?"

Zuko stepped forward, "Oh, I'm, um, Zuko." He shook her hand awkwardly.

Addi coughed into her hand muffling her words, "Awkwardly social." Aiden giggled.

"My name's Jennine, and I bet you're Nadra's boyfriend." She shook his hand.

Nadra once again choked on her saliva. She wiped her mouth, "Mom! What the heck, I'm still single!" she yelled through her teeth, embarrassed.

Christopher laughed loudly and patted her head, "Oh, we're just kidding. You're too young to have a boyfriend anyway- you are only fifteen." He joked.

Jennine laughed with her husband, "Putting that aside, I'm guessing some more of your friends are here too? I can smell some food cooking in the kitchen."

"What would you like for dinner?" Spade looked behind her shoulder as she was doing the dishes.

Iroh sat at the kitchen table sipping at his tea, "Your tea here is very different from the one back home."

Spade shrugged, "Well, you guys are in a whole different world, so…you know. Different tea and stuff." She replied and placed a dish on the rack to dry.

Toph walked in the room and spun a chair around so the back was facing the table and she sat, "So, what're we havin' for dinner?"

As anyone could notice, Toph had been livelier with her vision. She frequently asked what this and that was and about colors. Sure, things were different here, but atleast she could experience it.

Spade shrugged, "Asking you to." She remarked and dried her hands then seated herself across from Iroh.

Iroh and Toph exchanged looks then shrugged. Spade pulled out her cell phone, "We're going to have take-out then."

Toph raised a curious brow, "What's this…take-out you speak of?"

Iroh eyed her cell phone, "And what's that rectangular object in your hand?"

Spade sighed, Nadra had warned her about this.
