Movie Marathon

"Okay, everybody shut up!" Toph yelled and Katara, Aang and Sokka all stopped talking. The four had gathered in Aang' living, with Gyatso out of town for a day, to watch each of their favorite movies in a row. However, Toph had ordered Katara to pick a movie that didn't have Meg Ryan or Tom Hanks in it and bring one that they all could enjoy.

"What's wrong?" Aang asked.

"I want to know why, of all other films in the world, Katara brought Pretty in Pink?" Toph looked very, very upset with her.

"What? It's funny." Katara insisted.

"If by 'funny', you mean in a pathetic way…then yeah I guess." Toph looked at the DVD box's front and back. "So what are we watching first?"

"Let's just go with that one." Aang said, hoping to get on Katara's good side.

"Fine." Toph huffed. She took the disc out of its box and put it in Aang's DVD player. "When did you get this thing twinkle toes?" Toph asked as she struggled to get the thing to play.

"A few months ago. It's an old model."

"Tell me about it." Toph groaned. "Okay! I think I got it working." Toph heard the movie start. "Alright. I rule!" She said as she ran back to the couch, jumping in the air and slamming down next to Aang. Then she assumed her usual position, upside-down with her hair touching the floor.

"Show time." Sokka said, hogging the popcorn bowl.


After Pretty in Pink


"Well…that sucked." Toph said, disappointed.

"I thought it was good." Aang said.

"Thank you Aang." Katara said proudly. "Maybe if someone hadn't been making bad jokes through it, they would have enjoyed it more." Katara glared at her brother.

"What?" Sokka said. "I didn't know I wasn't supposed to talk during the movie."

"That was such an old one. Did you see the way they were dressed?" Toph asked, still upside-down.

"So what if it was old?" Katara said. "Most of the movies we brought are older than we are."

Toph lift her head off the ground and looked through the other DVD's.

"Which do you wanna watch next?" She asked.

"O! O, o, o, o, o! Let's watch my favorite movie." Sokka begged.

"Fine. Pop it in twinkle toes." Toph handed Aang the DVD.

"Kay." Aang put the disc in and hit Play.


After Monty Python and the Holy Grail


"That was awesome!" Sokka yelled.

"At least it was actually funny." Toph said as she looked at Katara.

"I could watch that a thousand times and it could never get old!" Sokka kept smiling.

"Alright, calm down Sokka." Katara said.

"Yeah ponytail. It was good, but it wasn't that good." Toph said. "And give me some popcorn already! You've been holding onto that thing since we started!"

"Not until you admit The Holy Grail was the greatest movie in the whole world." Sokka covered the popcorn bowl selfishly.

"I'll hit you!" Toph threatened. Sokka handed the bowl over.

"I love comedies." Aang said.

"Then you'll love mine." Toph said. "Which movie goes next? Mine or Aang's?"

"Aang's!" Katara said.

"Toph's!" Sokka said.

"Great." Toph said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a coin. "If it's heads, my movie goes first. That okay with you Aang?" Aang nodded. Toph flipped it and caught it. "Heads. I win." Toph handed Aang her DVD, smiling.


In the Middle of Clerks


"HEY!" Aang yelled as he looked at Toph's stuff, which was starting to slide out of her pockets from being upside-down all afternoon. "This coin has two heads on it!"

"Shhhhh!" Everyone hissed at him.


After Clerks


"Now that was the greatest movie ever." Toph said. Sokka and Aang were smiling, but Katara looked like she had just witnessed a car accident.

"It was just a bunch of dirty jokes." Katara said.

"What's your point?" Toph asked.

"Did they really need to be so…so…filthy?" Katara asked.

"Have you ever been to New Jersey?"

"No."

"Well…actually, neither have I. But I've always wanted to go." Toph said. "And if they are all like those guys, then I wanna head there even more."

"That was really good." Aang said.

"You liked that movie Aang?" Katara looked surprised at him, the way a mother would look at her son.

"Yeah…I mean, it was really well written."

"Alright. Twinkle toe's got my back." Toph handed him the last DVD. "You're up Aang."


After Raiders of the Lost Ark


"Classic." Aang said.

"I think Aang picked the best one." Sokka said.

"What happened to Monty Python being the best movie ever?" Katara asked.

"Hey, ya gotta know when to give a guy credit. Especially for good taste."

"Good job twinkle toes." Toph punched Aang's leg.

"Thanks." Aang rubbed where Toph had hit him. Then he checked his watch. "We've been here for almost nine hours."

"A perfectly good day…wasted." Sokka said. "Good job team!" He congratulated them all.

"We didn't do anything." Katara said.

"You say that like it's a bad thing." Toph said as Aang helped pull her onto her feet. "Now what do you wanna do?" Toph asked as she stretched.

There was a long pause.

"…wanna go see a movie?" Sokka asked.

"I'm down." Toph said.

"You can't be serious." Katara said in disbelief.

"I'll go if you go." Aang said to Katara.

"We just watched four movies! In a row!"

"Five is my lucky number." Toph said. "Let's go see the new Batman movie!"

"Okay." Sokka said as he finished the last crumbs of popcorn.

"Yeah." Aang smiled widely.

"Fine." Katara gave up and walked out with them.
