Overly Sensitive

"Sokka, seriously. Put that thing away." Katara begged her brother.

"What? This is prime reading material." Sokka smiled.

"It's a Playboy!" Katara yelled. "It's embarrassing and demeaning to women."

"First of all, it is a Maxim magazine. Second, I disagree with you sis. Maybe, just maybe, I have to do research for biology and I am studying right now."

"That magazine is like two years old!" Katara kept picking a fight with her brother.

"Exactly! It's a classic text. Research." Sokka refused to put the magazine away, even though they were in the middle of the mall's food court in board daylight.

"We are in public Sokka. Please, just get rid of it." Katara kept begging.

"HEY!" Sokka and Katara heard Toph yell from the pizza stand at the other end of the mall. Sokka waved to her.

"I have an idea. We'll get a second opinion on this." Sokka said. "Let's ask Toph if I should put the magazine away or not."

"Fine." Katara said, confident that Toph would be on her side. "We'll do whatever Toph says."

"Okay." Sokka smiled.

"Sup." Toph said as she sat down next to Katara.

"Toph! My good ol'friend." Sokka tried to butter her up.

"What do you want Sitting Bull?" Toph knew how Sokka worked.

"Do you think that this magazine…" Sokka showed her the centerfold in the middle of the issue "…is filthy and that I should put it away."

"Hey, whatever floats your boat ponytail." Toph said and took a gulp out of the soda bottle she bought.

"Toph!" Katara was shocked.

"What? Yeah, it's kinda…piggish. But it's Sokka we're talking about here." Toph pointed to him with the top of her coke bottle.

"Yeah." Sokka said. "Wait, what's that supposed to mean?"

"Also, and I'm just saying…we can't tell him what to and what not to read. That's his call Sugar Queen."

"Ha! Toph's got my back." Sokka said.

"You know it." Toph raised her hand up and Sokka Hi-Fived her.

"You're both disgusting." Katara crossed her arms. "Where is Aang? He'll understand."

"Oh, I know that's true." Toph said with a giggle. "He'll agree with whatever you say Kat."

"Seriously, where is he?" Katara looked around for him. "Oh! There he is! AANG!" Katara stood up and waved him down.

"Wow!" Sokka's eyes widened as he turned to a new page in his magazine. "Look at the big…uh…eyes on this girl."

"There is no way we are related." Katara said, still appalled.

"Hey guys." Aang pulled up a chair next to Sokka. He casually glanced at the magazine, not realizing what it was until a few seconds after he saw it.

"Check it out Aang." Sokka held the magazine towards him.

"Oh. Yeah." Aang said. At first, he resisted looking, but soon the hormones started flowing and he couldn't help but stare.

"Sit down pal." Sokka pushed the seat next to him out and Aang sat. "She's hot, isn't she?"

"Um…wha?" The look on Aang's face answered for him.

"I know, right? Talk about a hottie." Sokka held the magazine towards Aang so he could have a better look.

"Yeah. She's really…really…wow." Aang stared, knowing full well that Katara and Toph were right in front of him. His young mind could not resist.

For some reason, Toph was getting very angry with him, very quickly. Even she didn't know why.

"Wait, wait, wait." Sokka flipped to a few pages back. "Look at this one."

"Hehe…wow." Aang glanced at Toph and saw the angry look on her face. Suddenly, he felt nervous. "Um…yeah. She's really…good looking Sokka."

"Good looking? Come on Boy Scout. She's a babe!" Sokka wrapped his arm around Aang's neck and forced him to look at the picture. "Say she's a babe!"

"She's…" Aang glanced at Toph again. ".…a babe."

"Sokka." Toph interrupted. "Put the magazine away."

"What?" Sokka said.

"I'm not gonna ask you again." Toph threatened him. "Put it away!"

"I thought you had my back."

"NOW!" Toph yelled.

"Okay, okay! I'm putting it away." Sokka slipped it back into his backpack and zipped it up.

"Where did that come from?" Katara asked.

"Forget it. It's like you said…only pigs look at those magazines." Toph glared at Aang. Aang lowered his head, feeling guilty.
