Well…they have been in school for a while now. It's Halloween in the MD world. Before you know it, Halloween will be in our world too.

Mischief Night

Minding her own business, Toph walked towards her next class. The school halls were covered with cheap pumpkin and ghost decorations. A few black and orange streamers hung above the doors of classrooms and every English classroom was assigned scary stories.

After rushing to her locker, Toph was early for class (for once), so she took her time walking down the hallway to admire the décor. She was not usually a fan of holidays, not even her birthday, but Halloween was one of the few exceptions. There was something about dressing up in a horrifying outfit and scaring little children that made her feel happy.

So she went on her way, still minding her own business, when all of a sudden…

"Hey loser." …a familiar voice spoke up from behind Toph. She turned around and saw Azula glaring at her, hand propped up on her hips like she thought she was better than everyone else.

"Hey bitch." Toph said without showing any fear.

"So, are you and your little boyfriend going to play dress up tomorrow?" Azula's pouty lips curved sharply.

"Yeah. We're kinky like that." Toph smiled. "OH! You mean for Halloween? Maybe. You're lucky. You don't need to dress up. You're already a devil."

Azula tried to stare Toph down, but the tomboy refused to move.

"I suppose you think you are terribly clever. Well…"

"Yeah. In fact, I know I am." Toph cut Azula off.

"Well, you're not as clever as you think you are." Azula tried to convince her.

"Uh huh. Coming from a regular nut job like you, that really hurts my feelings." Toph's sarcasm came out.

"You're pretty brave when that poor kid isn't hanging around you."

"Hey! Don't talk about Aang like that." Toph finally got angry. Azula knew that she struck a cord.

"Are you going to dress up like a hobo? That way, you and Aang will be a matching set."

"Why you little…" Toph rolled up her sleeve, more than ready to give Azula a fat lip.

RRRIIINNNG. Toph froze, realizing that Azula had made her late for class.

"My, my. Is that the bell? You better hurry or you'll be late for class." Azula taunted Toph happily.

"This isn't over!" Toph yelled at Azula as before bolting down the hall.

"Ms. Bei Fong. So nice of you to finally join us." Mr. Pakku said as Toph ran into his classroom, two minutes late.

"Wouldn't miss it, sir." Toph said as she ran back to her seat, trying to catch her breath.

"Tell me, Ms. Bei Fong, do you delight in disrupting my class?" Mr. Pakku leaned on her desk and towered over her, so everyone could see him talking down to her.

"No, I was just…"

"If it isn't coming late to class, it is speaking to me with a wise-ass comment or falling asleep or encouraging other students to cheat on tests."

"That wasn't me that time!" Toph tried to defend herself.

"Don't deny anything young lady. It is clear that the detentions you receive are not punishment enough. The next time you come into class late, I'll send you to meet with Principal Roku and he will take care of you himself. Do I make myself clear?"

Toph didn't move.

"Yes sir." She looked down at her thumbs and began to twiddle them.

"Good. Now, let's continue our discussion on Frankenstein."

Safely hidden in his room, Aang began reading Mary Shelly's famous novel, turning to chapter 22 just as the sun went down. He was close to finishing the book…for the third time. Frankenstein was one of his favorites.

Just as he got used to the peace and quiet, he heard someone slam his front door and charged up his creaky steps.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

Someone began to furiously bang on Aang's door, demanding to be let in.

"I wonder who that could be." Aang asked him. "As if I didn't already know."

"LET ME IN TWINKLE TOES!" Toph screamed. Aang opened his door and Toph flew inside. She had two grocery bags under one arm and a black duffle slung over her shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Aang asked as she put the bags on his bed.

"We got work to do." Toph opened the duffle bag and pulled out two black shirts. She threw one to Aang. "I need your help."

"What is this?" Aang asked.

"You're a smart kid. You figure it out." Toph pulled out two cartons of eggs and dumped six rolls of toilet paper onto Aang's sheets.

"What? Toph, no. I'm not doing anything illegal. Not tonight."

"You're a minor, you'll be fine." Toph took a map out of her duffle bag and opened it. "Look. I found out where Azula lives…"

"AZULA!" Aang yelled. "You're gonna do this…to her?"

"Don't be stupid." Toph said. Aang exhaled in relief. "WE are going to do this to her." Toph smiled.

"Toph, I am not gonna..." Aang threw the black shirt down onto his bed and crossed his arms.

"Don't be such a baby. This is a great time to get back at her for all she's done. She'll never see it coming" Toph grabbed the edges of her shirt.

"What happened if…" Aang stopped mid-sentence. Toph pulled off her shirt and quickly put on the black on. Aang saw her undershirt, bra straps and budding curves. His poor hormonally polluted mind became overwhelmed with mixed messages.

"What were you saying?" Toph asked. Truth be told, she didn't feel at all uncomfortable around him and felt no sexual confusion at all.

"I…uh…was…not…" The chemicals swam through Aang's helpless brain, cutting off the connection from his tongue to his common sense.

"Look, I need your help with this one. Azula…" Toph thought of the horrible things she said about Aang and got even angrier. "…she needs to be taught a lesson. You gotta be in." Toph put her hand on Aang's shoulder.

"Um…"

"You alright?" Toph asked. "You look red."

"It's…nothing." Aang insisted as he forced his brain to start working again. "…okay…I guess I'll go with you."

"Great. Get dressed." Toph said. Aang hesitated. He pulled his shirt off and looked for the front of the black shirt. Toph glanced at him, noticing how lean he had gotten from all so much exercise. She grinned, but made sure that he didn't see it.

"This is stupid. This is stupid. We're gonna get caught." Aang whispered.

"Just calm down. We'll be fine as long as you keep low and quiet." Toph said. Both were crouched low to the ground, hiding behind the hedges of Azula's big home. Toph carried the duffle bag filled with eggs and toilet paper, their arsenal.

"Geez. How did I let you talk me into this?" Aang grew more nervous by the second. He was sure that Azula could see them or that she was watching them from the shadows across the street like a monster in a movie.

"Okay, here we go." Toph said. She put down the bag and opened it.

"Uh, we can still run away." Aang said. "If we run right now, no one will know we were here."

"We'll run really fast after this is over. I promise. Here." Toph gave him some toilet paper. "Throw these first, they make less noise. Then we throw the eggs."

"Uh." Aang looked at roll and imagined what juvenile hall was like. "Oh, man."

"Ready?" Toph asked with an excited smile.

"No."

"Okay, go!" Toph jumped up and threw two rolls. A stream of thin paper got caught in the branches of the tall tree on the front yard. She ducked back down to get another sheet, but noticed Aang still on his knees. "Come on twinkle toes. Get throwing." Aang didn't move. Toph sighed. "Okay, we'll both throw on the count of three."

"…okay." Aang responded timidly.

"One…two…three!" They both jumped up and threw.

Thump!

"You're supposed to take the paper out of the wrapping first, airhead!" Toph said.

"Sorry."

"Get down." Toph pushed on Aang's head and slammed him to the ground.

"What! Did they see us?"

"No. But you gotta get down fast or they will."

"I don't like this. Can we please just leave?"

"Not until this bag is empty." Toph said as she took out the eggs. She handed one carton to Aang. "Just thrown 'em as fast and as far as you can. Aim for their house."

"Toph…" Aang jumped.

"One…two…"

"Toph, wait. I think I heard something."

"…three!" Toph jumped up and chucked three eggs at once.

"AAHHH!" Azula yelled as the eggs hit her.

"Uh-oh." Toph froze. Aang grabbed the collar on Toph's shirt and pulled her down.

"WHO THREW THOSE!" Azula yelled, infuriated. "COME OUT YOU COWARD!"

"Oh my God. She's right over there." Toph said, suddenly worried.

"Did she see you?" Aang asked.

"I don't think so."

"Get ready to run." Aang grabbed three more eggs.

"What are you doing?"

"I CAN HEAR YOU FROM BEHIND THERE!" Azula walked closer. In one brave yet insane motion, Aang jumped up, chucked the eggs and ran. "ARGH!" One hit Azula's chest and shattered all over her outfit. The others hit her house. "COME BACK HERE!" Azula screamed so loud that the birds across the street flew away.

Toph ran after him, covering the back of her head, hoping Azula didn't see her.

"I'LL FIND YOU BOTH! YOU WILL SUFFER HORRIBLY FOR THIS!"

"YOU'RE A CRAZY BITCH!" Toph yelled back, disguising her voice.

When they were four blocks away and sure that Azula was not following them, they stopped running.

"Aang…where did you get the balls?" Toph asked. "That was insanity."

"We needed a distraction. So I just kinda…made one." Aang smiled.

"If she finds out it was us, we're in trouble."

"Think she knows?" Aang asked.

"Nah. I think we got away." Toph began laughing. "That was awesome. You got her right in her chest."

"I did?" Aang looked worried. "I hope I didn't hurt her."

"It's an egg twinkle toes. She's fine. And why do you care? She's 100 percent evil!"

"I still hope she's okay." Aang said.

"You're too nice. Still, I applaud you for the guts." Toph punched him and Aang nearly fell over.

"Give yourself some credit." Aang said. "I think you're rubbing off on me."

"Don't mention it airhead." Toph gratefully accepted his compliment, knowing full well that he was rubbing off on her as well.
