The morning sun shone through the window, hitting Inari square in the face. She stuck out her tongue and stretched. Morning. She looked over at the clock. 7:50.
"SHIT!" she screamed. She got up, took off her pajamas, pulled on a pair of jeans, put on a bra and rushed out the door of her room, still pulling on a t-shirt.
She ran into the bathroom, brushed her teeth as quickly as possible before running back out and bounding down the stairs to the kitchen.
Hakoda was standing in the kitchen, making...muffins? Inari sniffed the air. Yep. Muffins. Katara and Sokka's father was a great cook.
"Blueberry muffins..." She walked over to the counter and took one of the freshest ones. She then realized how late it was again. She stuffed the muffin into her mouth before looking at Hakoda.
"Where's Katara and Sokka?" she asked, having finished the muffin.
"Oh, they left a while ago. Seems they forgot to wake you up." He smiled.
"Those little- Fine. Bye Hakoda. Gotta get to school." She rushed out the door. It would take her fifteen minutes to get to school, and at least ten minutes to get her books from the mess she called her locker.

"I hate my life..."
"Inari, stop being like Sugar Queen."
"Why do you always feel the need to call me that?"
Inari, Katara and Toph walked through the halls towards lunch. For some reason, Toph had been acting moody for the last week. And today was no exception.
"Guys, my stomach hurts. I don't really want to eat right now..." The little earthbender ran ahead.
Katara and Inari exchanged looks. "Do you see what I see, Inari?"
"I believe I do..."
The girls ran up to Toph, smiling brightly.
"Toph, we have something to tell you. It's VERY important."
Inari nodded. "Yeah, it is."
Toph sighed. "Well then, tell me!"
Katara and Inari looked like they were about to burst with glee. They both took deep breathes and then...
"YOU'VE GOT BOOBS!"
Toph blushed furiously. Why did they have to yell it so loud? "Shut up!"
Inari was laughing like mad. "It's true! You've got boobs now!"
"I told you to SHUT UP!" At that moment, Inari just happened to walk into the stone wall Toph had raised. She let a small "ow!"
"That hurt!" she said, rubbing her face.
"Well, you deserved it. At least Sugar Queen didn't say anything else about..." Toph blushed again.

Aang had finally caught up to Sokka, Jet and Haru. "Hey guys!" His sentence had come out much higher than usual. The guys laughed.
"Nice. Very nice," Sokka said, still laughing slightly.
Aang looked confused. "What? What did I do?" This time, his voice had switched between much higher and much lower. He frowned as the other guys burst into more laughs.
"Looks like Arrowhead's balls finally dropped." Jet laughed uproariously.
The young avatar blushed. "Wh-what?"
Sokka slung an arm around the younger boy's shoulders. "You've hit puberty, Aang. Congrats."
Haru then spotted Toph, Katara and Inari. "Hey guys. The girls are up ahead." That was Jet's cue.
Jet walked over to Katara and put an arm around her waist. "Hey babe, how's it going?"
Katara gave him a disgusted look and pulled away from him quickly. "What did I say about touching me? You don't get to."
Inari's eyes glazed over slightly. So many guys, so little time. Her gaze settled on Sokka. She tried to look angry. "You should have woken me up this morning! I was late for class, thanks to you!"
He looked taken aback. "It wasn't just me! Katara didn't wake you up either!"
"Yeah, well, I've already chewed her out. It's your turn now."
Oh dear God. That sounded so much better in my head...
Sokka blushed. "That sounded really wrong."
Inari blushed as well. "Yeah, I kinda figured that out a few seconds after I said it, thank you very much."
Katara, obviously very annoyed and hungry, grabbed Inari roughly by the arm. "Come on. Let's go eat. I'm starving."
The Gaang made their way into the cafeteria, finding one table big enough to seat them all. The girls – plus Aang – sat on one side of the table and Sokka, Jet and Haru sat on the other. Inari had become her usual happy, gossipy self. She looked at Katara and grinned madly.
"What are you two smiling about?" Sokka asked through a mouthful of food.
"Well, we made an important discovery today." The two older girls giggled.
"What?" Aang asked eagerly. An important discovery was a good thing.
Inari looked at Katara, then at Toph, then at the guys. "Toph's got boobs."
Almost immediately, Aang and Toph blushed.
Aang looked at Toph. Oh. She does have...breasts...now. He then realized his gaze was directed at her chest. He looked up rapidly, blushing even more.
Everyone else was laughing. Toph had crossed her arms over her chest, trying to hide her newly-grown breasts. All she succeeded in doing was creating cleavage.
Jet grinned at Aang. "Hey look! Aang really has hit puberty! He's finally noticed girls have tits!"
Inari giggled slightly, but then realized how the poor kid must feel. "Okay guys. I went too far with that. Let's leave Aang and Toph alone. For now."
Jet faked a pout. "Aww, come on! It's fun!" He quickly returned to his usual smirk.
At this point, Aang had been surveying the other girls. He had realized they all had breasts as well. Today was not his day.
Inari hugged Aang. "The poor little innocent guy..."
"Innocent my ass. Have you realized where he's been staring the last few minutes?" Jet retorted.
She looked down at Aang, who was still blushing...and who was staring at her chest. Inari let go of him, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Well, that's not my fault."
"Actually, Inari, it could be considered your fault," Katara added before eating some of her rice. "You're the one who insists on always wearing an underwire push-up bra."
That just made Inari blush a bit more. "Shut up!" She did the exact same thing as Toph had done a bit earlier, acheiving the same affect. More cleavage. Jet smirked even more, obviously happy he was sitting directly across from Inari.
"My eyes are up here, Jet," she grumbled.
"Yeah, I know. Your point is...?"
Sokka slapped himself in the forehead. "Stop staring at her chest, Jet."
"Why does it matter to you?" Jet turned his smirk towards Sokka.
Sokka blushed. "Well...It doesn't matter to me. It's just rude. You should have more respect for girls."
Jet rolled his eyes. "Whatever."
Inari looked at Sokka, smiling a bit. She then shoved a piece of sushi into her mouth.
When everyone was done eating, the Gaang members went their seperate ways. Inari and Sokka had english, Katara and Haru had biology. Jet was going to do what he did after lunch: skip a class and make out with his flavour of the week.

Sokka had walked ahead of Inari, but she managed to catch up. "Thanks for that," she said quietly.
He raised an eyebrow, looking at her over his shoulder. "For what?"
"For pretty much standing up for me. That was really sweet of you, Sokka." She kissed him quickly on the cheek, blushing as she realized what she had done. "Oh, sorry..."
"For what?" He smiled, blushing a bit himself.
"Well, you've got a girlfriend and I just--"
"Suki and I broke up yesterday. Haven't you heard? I thought you were supposed to be the school gossip."
Inari stopped in her tracks. "Really? Why'd she break up with you?"
"Eh. She said we were better off as friends. I guess it's because I still haven't really gotten over Yue..." He sniffed.
"Oh yeah...Katara told me about her...I'm sorry about her..." Inari looked down.
"It doesn't matter. Yue wouldn't want me to stop living life just because she's gone. I've come to terms with most of my grief." Sokka smiled weakly.
"Let's just get going to english. I don't want to be late AGAIN." Inari elbowed Sokka in the side as she ran ahead of him. He laughed before trying to catch up.
