Hey peeps! Sorta back from my break, but for those of you who are looking forward to the continuation of the Beloved series, sorry, that's not coming till AFTER this story. I don't wanna get bored of the story line, so I'm posting something different - this!
Ok, so there's a party on Ember Island, everything is set in modern times though, no bending, and... ok, what's happening with Azula will be explained next chapter. There will be shippings (duh, this is me - of course there's gonna be romance). I will end up writing this story for the following shippings: Zutara and Sukka... and maybe some Taang. Those will be the main ships, other ships might be implied, including ships that cross these, but those will be the main ships.
Ok, well, enjoy my new story. It would be really great if you REVIEWED because I really like reviews. I'll try to update on a weekly basis, so long as I get three reviews ;)
Enjoy!
1. Get this Party Started
The phone rang loudly and Katara and Sokka raced to answer it.
"I got it!" Katara called, as she snatched it up before her brother, "hey, Kat speaking."
"Hey Kat, it's Suki!" came the voice from the receiver.
"Hey Suki," Katara put a hand over the mouthpiece and turned to her brother, "it's your girlfriend."
"Well, let me on!"
"Hey, is your brother there?" Suki asked.
"Yea, he –"
Sokka snatched the phone off his sister, "Hey Suki, how's it going?!"
"Yea, pretty good. Hey Sokka, guess what!"
"What?"
"Ty Lee decided that we should have a party! We've got everything arranged; we just need to inform the people coming! We're gonna party down at Zuko's beach house and you and Katara are invited!"
"Wow, a party? Cool, I'll tell Katara."
"So you're coming?"
"You bet!"
"Alright, see you at seven tonight then!"
Suki hung up before her boyfriend even got a chance to say goodbye.
"What was that about?" Katara asked, "I heard party!"
"Ty Lee's arranged a party at the beach house. We gotta be there at seven," Sokka told her.
"Alright!" Katara pumped her fist into the air, "I'll go let Dad know that we're going."
"Ok."
"This is going to be so fun! I can't wait for you guys to come down here; I haven't seen you in ages!" Ty Lee grinned into the phone.
"Sweet, I'll go and tell Aang and we'll be there," Toph agreed from her end.
With that they hung up. Ty Lee began to dial Mai's number when Suki walked in.
"Sokka and Katara are in. Did you ring Toph and Aang?"
"Yup! They're coming. Hey, where are Zuko and Azula?"
"I think they're already down at the beach house, setting up."
"Alright," Ty Lee thought for a moment, "just let me ring Mai and then we'll head down there and start helping set up."
"I'm coming up so you better get this party started! I'm coming up so you better get this party started!" Azula sang along loudly but properly as she swept the last of the dust out of the door. It had been ages since she had last visited the beach house.
"Get this party started on a Saturday night, everybody's waiting for me to arrive. Sending out the message to all of my friends, we'll be looking flashy in my Mercedes Benz."
"Hey, Azula, where did you put the remote for the CD player?" Zuko asked as he came out onto the veranda.
"I got lostsa style, got my gold diamond rings, I can go for miles if you know what I mean," Azula pointed in the general direction of the living room, "don't you dare change the song though! I'm coming up so you better get this party started! I'm coming up so you better get this party stared!"
Zuko checked on the coffee table in the living room and sure enough, the remote was there. He sighed and put it next to the CD player.
He listened as his sister sung; he couldn't remember seeing her this happy since before their father had died, a year ago. It had been the hardest time in her life and she had been depressed ever since. But recently, life had been taking a new leaf. Hopefully, this party would be the end of her semi-depression.
Go Ty Lee for thinking of this idea.
Mai answered the phone and there was Ty Lee's voice. Immediately she felt excited; she hadn't been in contact with any of her friends since she had moved to the coast at the start of the summer break. How did Ty Lee get her number?
"Hey, Mai! You're on the island, aren't you?"
"Yea, who wants to know? Are you planning to save me from my boredom?"
"Yes, actually; I'm you white knight! Do you think you could make it over to the beach house at seven? We're having a party and it would be great to see you again!"
"Are you for real? Yea, ok, I'll come."
"Great, see you there Mai!"
Ty Lee hung up and Mai slowly put down the phone.
A party? This will be fun. Maybe I will be saved from my boredom before I die after all.
Suki parked the black Ute in the driveway and hopped out of the car. Ty Lee slipped out of the passenger seat and they headed over to the back of the Ute to collect the two coolers.
As they came up the front steps, Azula came out to meet them and help them take the coolers in. The CD player was beating out a song none of them had heard in ages, but it made them feel in the perfect mood for a party as they sang along.
"All the, small things, truth care, truth brings, I'll take, one lift, your ride, best trip. Always, I know, you'll be, at my show, watching, waiting, commiserating."
They headed over to the freezer and set the coolers down, opening them and emptying their contents – beer, fizzy drinks, party food, and a certain little surprise in a bag – into the freezer to be kept cool.
"Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home, na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na."
"Hey girls!" Zuko called as they walking into the living room and plunked themselves on the couch.
"Late night, come home, work sucks, I know, she left me roses by the stairs, surprises let me she know she cares."
"Alright, are we ready to party in two hours or what?" Ty Lee asked over the music.
"Oh yea!"
"You betcha!"
"Totally!"
"Hey Twinkletoes!" Toph knocked on his door harshly until he answered.
"What is it?! Did someone die?!" he asked in concern.
"Don't be silly! We're going to a party at seven tonight and you are coming!" she told him, punching him in the arm.
"Oh! Cool! Where is the party?"
"Zuko and Azula's beach house. From what Ty Lee told me – and she's the one who arranged it – it's a reunion party. So everyone's going to be there! You, me, Katara, Sokka, Suki, Mai, Ty Lee, Suki, Zuko and Azula!"
"Wicked! I'll be there."
"I'll come by again and let you know when I'm heading over. I gotta go get ready now, you better as well," she waved him goodbye as she headed back to her apartment.
The songs I used were: Get This Party Started - P!nk, and All the Small Things - Blink 182. That was the first chapter. It was a little rushed, but that was the intention. The story really starts NEXT chapter. So, hold out for that, and please leave a review.
