Mac and Cheese?

Bookworm and Keyblade stared at Shade in horror. Apparently, Bookworm’s memory charm had made Shade forget about the cactus juice episode of Avatar.
“Do you want some, minions?” Shade asked, grinning eerily. “It’s really, really quenchy!”
“Umm… No thanks. And we’re your friends, not your minions,” Keyblade reminded her. She turned to Bookworm. “What do you think we should do?”
Bookworm thought about this for a while. “Do you have any recording equipment? This could be a great opportunity to get blackmail against Shade.”
Keyblade shook her head. “I can’t find my cell phone and you left your computer at home, remember? And this world doesn’t have any of that kind of technology.”
“Oh… Do you think we could go home really quick and get my microphone?” Bookworm asked hopefully.
“No, Mithos will get killed if he goes to Derris-Kharlan. And I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave him here alone,” Keyblade said, glancing at Mithos.
“But Shade! That cactus is a meanie!” Mithos said to Shade.
“It’s my new minion! I will use evil cactuses to take over the world! MUAHAHAHA!” Shade shouted, completely ignoring Mithos. She tried to give her new minion a hug, but Keyblade stopped her.
“No, Shade, don’t hug the cactus,” Keyblade grabbed Shade’s arms to prevent her from embracing the prickly plant. “Ty Lee and Mai are your minions. Why don’t you go say hi to them instead?” When Shade skipped away to greet her minions, Keyblade and Bookworm returned to the discussion of what to do.
“So we don’t get to blackmail Shade yet,” Bookworm said sulkily. “I guess we’ll just have to stay here for a while.”
“Wow! Look! When I poke the meanie cactus with my shiny sword, more yummy juice comes out!” Mithos announced excitedly. He and Shade eagerly ran to drink the cactus juice. While Bookworm and Keyblade did their best to prevent their friends from getting even more drunk, Ty Lee and Mai talked about the sudden change in their evil boss.
“Did Shade really just try to hug me?” Mai asked in disbelief.
“I think she’s a lot more fun now!” Ty Lee said cheerfully. “Maybe if you drank some of that, you’d be fun to! Oh! Do you think we could get Azula to drink some?”
“No,” Mai replied simply.
“But I’m thirsty!” Shade’s screaming interrupted them.
“And I’m hungry!” Mithos shared his complaint too.
“Then you can drink some water! Water! Not cactus juice!” Bookworm yelled at them.
“But we’re in a desert! There’s no water!” Mithos whined.
Bookworm glared at him. He was really getting annoying. “Keyblade, Indigo, help me with this.” Indigo gladly used their mental link to lend Bookworm her power. “Reisa du adurna!” As Bookworm said the words of the spell, underground water rose to the surface. Keyblade immediately used her water bending skills to hold the water up long enough for everyone to drink some and fill their water bottles. When they had finally finished, Bookworm, Keyblade, and Indigo collapsed from exhaustion.
But Mithos was still not satisfied. “I’m hungry!”
Bookworm resisted the urge to send a rock flying toward him. Instead, she just asked, “What do you want to eat?”
Shade answered her question by chanting, “Mac and cheese! Mac and cheese! Mac and cheese!” Mithos liked this chant and eagerly joined in.
Bookworm and Keyblade listened for a moment. They glanced at each other, then shrugged and began chanting along with Shade and Mithos. “Mac and cheese! Mac and cheese! Mac and cheese!”
“For the ketchup!” Shade screamed as loud as she could. Everyone stared at her.
Finally, Bookworm broke the silence. “See? I told you we should have gotten some recording equipment! That would have been perfect for blackmail!”
“Yeah, I’m sure Shade will be really happy to hear that. Even without blackmail, she’ll probably turn us into goo for letting her get drunk like this. Do you really want to make her angrier?” Keyblade asked.
Bookworm shook her head. She had almost forgotten that in a few days, Shade would no longer be drunk on cactus juice. And Keyblade was right. Shade would not be happy with the person who had made her forget the dangers of cactus juice. Bookworm was now very worried about Shade’s return to soberness.

Rainypoo? (Cat)

Everyone woke up the next morning fully refreshed (the beds were very comfortable). Everyone met in the dining room (after finding Cat, who got lost, and ended up causing a ruckus because she flew around in her drake form, causing many of the servants to panic. One of the maids even went so far as to hit Cat in the face with a broom, calling her "a giant gold bat").
Hearing that Cat had been in her drake form, Sora asked, "Cat, didn't you say that you left Goldd's marble with Rainheart?"
Cat looked somewhat surprised at this question, then took out a marble from her pocket, explaining, "Arian gave me this. It's directly linked to Goldd's sphere, so I can go drake whenever I want."
Sora was now giving her a weird look. "So....speaking of Rainheart...did he really...um....kiss...you..?"
Cat lit up, remembering how incredible that kiss was. "Oh yeah! That was so wonderful! Rainypoo's the best!"
Lloyd, who overheard this conversation, decided suggest a different nickname, "Um, Cat? You might want to get a different nickname for Rainheart. Maybe...Rain-hunny? That's what my friend called all the girls....and me. No idea why he always did that."
Cat seemed to think about this new nickname that would be less demeaning for Rainheart, and decided that this would be a better nickname to give him than her first one. "Oh, that's a good one! I'll have to remember that! Thanks Lloyd!"
"Hey, if you guys are done, we'll be heading to the gummi ship now." With that, they left for the gummi hanger.
"Hey Riku, how'd you afford this?" Sora questioned, as gummi ships were very hard to so much as build, let alone have a hanger.
"Well, you'd be surprised what money can buy." Sora gaped, then asked, giving Riku a questioning look in the process, "Wait a minute. Did you really buy this?"
"Sora, I was joking. The King gave me this in case we ever had to go to the worlds again. I didn't really buy it. I was joking."
Lloyd gave him an annoyed look, saying, "You remind me of a friend of mine who had a really weird sense of humor."
"Oh? what'd he say?"
"He said he cooked with his feet."
"...Did you believe him?"
"He sounded pretty convincing."
"I'm sure he didn't really cook with his feet. Anyways, let's be off. We've go alot of work to do." And with that, they were off, unaware that the enemy that they would face would be someone already defeated before.

Riku's House (Cat)

Everyone (except Riku) seemed to gape at the realization that Riku was obviously from a higher upbringing (drool was now coming from Lloyd's mouth, and a fly flew into Ed's unsuspecting mouth, causing him to gag, which ended the silence). Cat and Netto had to suppress their laughter, Lloyd was still drooling, Al was doing the Heimlich maneuver in order to rid Ed of the life threatening fly (Al was also going to remember this as blackmail for Ed when he was angry), Colette was frantic about Ed's health, and Sora just looked with a bemused expression on his face, thinking, Oh boy, Riku's gonna yell soon. Kairi mimicked his expression, and Riku ended all this chaos by yelling, "BE QUIET!!" At this yell, the fly was gone, Cat and Netto were still trying (and failing miserably) to suppress their laughter, and Ed was limply hanging from Al's arms, relieved of the treacherous bug that had invaded his esophagus.
Riku cleared his throat, and explained, "Long story short, my parents are rich and we own this incredibly huge mansion. Along with-" Riku gestured to the servants, all bowing in turn "these servants."
"Wait, you don't really OWN them, do you?" Colette asked, now worried about the welfare of the various maids and butlers that lined the room.
Riku snickered, then answered, "No, no. They all work here and get a fair pay. Anyways, Alfred here will show us to our rooms." Riku pointed to a butler who had been standing there, waiting. He then led the group to each of their rooms.
Cat had gotten a private room, and was now lying on the bed, with many questions swirling in her mind. What was in store? Would she see Rainheart again? Who was she going to meet? Why did she ask herself so many annoying questions that she knew she couldn't answer? Coming to no satisfying answer, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Ed and Al were sharing a room, and as they always seemed to do, so they chatted. "Hey Al, how do we always get involved with this stuff?"
Al had been staring out the window, not really paying attention, so he asked, "What do you mean, brother?"
"I mean that we always, always seem to get people involved into our business, or we always get involved with theirs!" Ed, who had been standing, groaned and flopped onto the bed he would sleep in. His faced soon turned to one of frustration, "Al...I don't...I don't want anyone else who gets involved with us to get hurt. You know...like Nina...."
Although it seemed to some people that Ed was "a rude little (Ed usually didn't hear the rest of this as he would try to kill the person) brat" Ed was really the kind of person who tried not to have people hurt, or even involved in his affairs. So, to put in layman's terms, Ed was really the kind of person who cared about people, and hated it when they where hurt. Al, sensing this, and putting a reassuring hand on Ed's shoulder, said, "Ed, what happened to Nina...it wasn't your fault. It's like the colonel said, you can't save everyone, even if you want too. I mean, even if we tried to help Nina, she would have probably been even worse off. And we don't exactly have the most normal of friends. They can defend themselves, if need be. So get some sleep, brother, and don't worry about it."
Ed found it amazing. His little brother had been pressured by him into human transmutation, a practice absolutely forbidden to be done, and when done , had a horrible cost that only brought back...some thing. Some thing that didn't even resemble something even close to a human, lost his human body, and had been given a body that couldn't eat, sleep, or even cry, and yet, his brother still loved him. Still cared about him, and even told Ed that he'd get his body back first (Ed had lost two limbs in this accident, his left leg for the transmutation and right arm to transmute Al's soul to the armor; Ed had gotten metal prosthetics called "Auto-mail" to replace the limbs). Ed decided to shake off his depression and sleep.
Lloyd, on the other hand was excited. Going to other worlds sounded like fun, and even better yet, he might be able to see his birth father, who under circumstances, had to leave Lloyd's home on a giant rock, as Lloyd respectfully called it. Colette shared his excitement, as she also was happy to see her friends again. Thinking of happy times yet to come, they went to sleep.
Netto, meanwhile, seemed to be worried. Rockman noticed this and asked, "Netto-kun, what's wrong?"
"...Will they find out?"
Rockman knew what this question was about. No one else knew this, but Rockman was actually... This was a story left for another time. "I don't think so, Netto-kun, but-"
Netto still looked for a satifying asnwer from his navi "If they do find out, we'll have to tell them. Okay?"
"...Okay," came the reluctant response.
Netto brushed off this fear and went to sleep, asking himself what will they think of us if they do find out?
Sora, Riku, and Kairi were gazing out at the stars on Riku's balconey, pondering of what was to come. It was reluctantly agreed that Kairi would stay, as she had the power to defend the islands if need be. A strong gust of wind blew through the air. "So, it's begun again, huh, Riku?"
Riku looked at the starlit sky, thinking of everything that was yet to come. "Yeah."

Washtubs!?! (Cat)

"Sooo... where are we gonna sleep? We can't just sleep here on the beach." Cat had gotten over her bad mood, which was good for everyone else, as they did not wish to be trounced by Cat.
Sora, who had recovered from Cat's "disciplinary action", replied, "Well, we're gonna go to the mainland and stay at Riku's house on account of the fact that his house is the biggest. Follow me."
After walking a short distance, they reached a dock that held two fairly large boats (think lifeboats). "Eh? We're riding in these?" Netto asked as if he was going on some sort of cheap ride (living in a world where you take all this amazing technology where the Internet connects everything for granted tends to rub off).
"Netto-kun, don't be rude. I know this is... um..."
"A wooden piece of crap?"
"No! And you'll apologize for that remark, Netto-kun!"
"Why? I said it in Japanese, so it's not like they even know what I said."
"You still shouldn't say things like that, Netto-kun, no matter what language you speak it in! So go and apologize!"
After mumbling he was sorry to Sora (Sora just looked confused) he, Cat, Kairi, Lloyd, Collete,and Ed entered the lifeboat. Colette, getting excited as they rowed across the water, said, "Oh wow, they're so much bigger that the boats we used back when we were going to the water seal, right Lloyd?"
Lloyd smiled, remembering his adventure back in his own world. Although he had faced intense hardships in this adventure, he had still been able to have fun, at times. "Yeah, I remember that we rode to the other side in washtubs."
"WASHTUBS!?" Cat, Netto, and Ed shouted in unison, like as if Colette and Lloyd had been cheated by some horrible, unkind person.
Lloyd and Colette seemed to answer with the same blank expression on both their faces. Lloyd's face, now one of confusion, answered, "Yeeeaaah. Why?"
Kairi was also confused, and added, "I don't see what the big deal is. I mean, they were probably like these too."
"But-they-were-WASHTUBS!" Ed tried to protest, trying to make them see that going across the sea in a washtub was not only dangerous, it was also very cramped and uncomfortable.
Hmmm....I wonder if Lloyd-kun and Colette-chan don't like technology or something. Netto thought, knowing there were indeed some people who did not like technology in the world ...er, "worlds".
Before they could argue anymore about washtubs, they had arrived at the mainland, which was much bigger than the previous island, and also had many more houses. As Cat got off the boat, she noticed a huge mansion at the peak of the island. Sora said that we were gonna stay at Riku's house 'cause it was big....but there's no way it could be that big...huh...
"Hey Cat!" Ed's voice seemed to knock Cat out of her daze. "We're leaving, so hurry up."
Cat had been so busy daydreaming that everyone was almost out of sight. "Eh...coming!" Cat raced after her now leaving friends, who headed toward the big house she saw. She noticed Riku leading everyone, and, with an almost bored expression on his face, opened the doors. Cat was temporarily blinded by the light coming from the entrance, but was then surprised when the light cleared and she saw an exquisitely decorated room, and a winding staircase to match it. Everyone else (except for Kairi and Sora) were amazed when they saw at least twenty people, mainly maids and butlers, standing around the room, and, saying in unison, "Welcome."

QUENCHY!!!

“Meep!” Bookworm dodged out of the way of Wan Shi Tong’s large pointy beak. “Hey Shade! I think he’s still mad at humans!”
“Then I’ll make him forget about that,” Shade said calmly. She began to recite the memory-erasing spell that she had used on Snape.
“Let me do it!” Bookworm yelled excitedly. “Obliviate!” Both mages cast their spells at the same time. Shade’s hit Wan Shi Tong perfectly. Bookworm’s did not. Her spell missed the knowledge spirit completely and hit Shade instead. Bookworm just stared at her in horrified shock.
“Who are you?” Shade looked at Bookworm in confusion.
By now, Keyblade, Indigo, Ty Lee, and Mai had entered the library. “What’s going on?” Keyblade asked.
“Help! I kinda accidentally erased Shade’s memory!” Bookworm was really freaked out. “Eventually she’s gonna remember and then she’ll turn me into goo and kill me!”
“Person! Tell me who you are! NOW!” Shade ordered.
“I’m Keyblade. This is Bookworm and Indigo, her dragon. We’re your friends. And these are Ty Lee and Mai. They’re your minions,” Keyblade explained.
“MUAHAHAHA! I have minions!” Shade yelled.
While Shade was busy laughing evilly, Keyblade decided to try to calm Bookworm down. She soon found that this was unnecessary. With the distraction of a giant library, Bookworm had not stayed in her panicky mood long. She was now busy reading a large book. This did not really surprise anyone, except Shade, who had forgotten that Bookworm loves to read. After a few hours, Indigo somehow managed to convince Bookworm that it was time to leave the library.
“We should keep an eye on Shade,” Keyblade commented as they left. “She probably doesn’t remember about Mithos, so she could get in a lot of trouble.” Bookworm nodded. They were both enjoying their new role as babysitters.
When they got back out in the desert, they saw possibly the most unexpected sight they had yet encountered in all their adventures. Mithos was running toward them, waving and yelling “Hi everybody!” He had a huge grin on his face and showed no signs of attacking.
“Who are you?” Shade asked when he finally reached them.
“Call me Ygggy!” he said happily.
“Ygggy?” Bookworm repeated uncertainly. This behavior did not seem right for Mithos Yggdrasill.
Mithos held up his sword. “Look! It’s SHINY!!!” He waved his sword for them to see. Then he tripped and fell flat on his face.
“Mithos! You’re back to normal! How did you get unpossessed?” Keyblade asked excitedly.
Mithos didn’t answer. He just stared up at Keyblade for a while. Eventually, he said, “You’re really tall!”
Keyblade sighed in disappointment. “He’s still possessed. The normal Mithos would never call me tall.”
Bookworm suddenly had an idea that could explain Mithos’s strange behavior. “Umm… Ygggy, have you had any cactus juice lately?” she asked.
“Yup! It was yummy! But that cactus is a meanie! I thought it was friendly, but when I gave it a hug, it poked me!” Mithos whined.
“Okay… Now what should we do?” Bookworm asked. She was starting to change her mind about liking the job of babysitter.
“I don’t know… Maybe we should take him to Derris-Kharlan?” Keyblade suggested.
“Kratos and Yuan would probably kill him,” Bookworm said. “In fact, I’m really surprised Shade hasn’t tried to kill him yet.”
“She probably forgot,” Keyblade pointed out.
“I know Shade!” Mithos announced proudly. “She says ‘MUAHAHAHAHA!’”
Keyblade nodded. “Yes, that’s definitely Shade… Where is she anyway?” Their plan to keep an eye on Shade had been forgotten as soon as they encountered the drunken Mithos.
At this point, Bookworm and Keyblade heard a sound that filled them with dread. It was possibly the most horrifying sound they would ever hear in their lives. Shade was screaming.
“QUENCHY!!!”

Thirsty

While Bookworm was staring stupidly at a giant owl spirit about to bite her head off, Mithos was wandering through the desert. He was very bored. He had mastered the skills of air bending and had been looking forward to using them to attack those humans. Unfortunately, after just one attack, they all disappeared. He was sure they would return soon, but he was still bored while waiting.
To entertain himself, he decided to watch some of the other Mithos’s memories. It was interesting to see what all his enemies were doing lately. It was also pretty entertaining to watch the other Mithos get knocked unconscious or be turned to goo or fall flat on his face. At first Mithos considered getting revenge on everyone who had knocked him unconscious, but he soon realized that this was impossible because so many people had done this. He eventually decided to just get revenge on the other Mithos’s friends and the traitors who had killed Martel.
Maybe one of those girls could be used as a vessel for Martel… he wondered absentmindedly. He felt a sharp pain in his heart as he remembered that his sister was dead. He had been denying her death for thousands of years, so now he was having a hard time accepting the fact that she really was gone.
Mithos glared at the sand in the direction that Bookworm and friends had disappeared. Why were they taking so long? Glancing around, he spotted a cactus. It wasn’t doing anything wrong, just innocently living in the desert. Mithos decided to take his frustration out on this cactus. He ran over to it and slashed it several times with his sword. After completing this pointless activity, he noticed that the cactus had water inside it.
“Great!” He filled his water bottle with the liquid from the cactus. He had been running out of water, but now he had enough to last several days. When his water bottle was full, he drank a few sips of the juice. He was pleased to discover that it was both delicious and thirst-quenching. The pupils of his eyes grew large. A dopey grin spread across his face. Mithos was now drunk on cactus juice.

Let's Go To The Library!

It had been two weeks since Bookworm and Keyblade discovered their bending talents. They had learned a lot since then. (Bookworm actually paid attention to Toph’s lessons because Indigo could tell when she was daydreaming and always made sure to mentally scold her.) Both were very talented at bending. They were now traveling toward the desert, where someone matching Mithos’s description had been seen recently. As they neared the desert, they ran into another group that was going there for the same reason.
“It’s the avatar!” Zuko yelled, fire bending at Aang. Katara, Toph, and Aang bended back at him. Sokka ran around, randomly waving his sword.
“Hi Shade!” Keyblade waved at her friend.
“Shade! Guess what? I can earth bend! I rule!” Bookworm said happily.
“And I can water bend!” Keyblade added.
“Good for you! I can fire bend now!” Shade said. She pointed excitedly at Mai and Ty Lee. “And now I have minions! Minions! MUAHAHAHAHA!”
“Umm… Shade, did you notice that our friends are killing your minions?” Bookworm pointed out.
“Hmm… That’s not good,” Shade glared at the fighting people. A moment later, they were all goo. “I will return them to their non-goo forms shortly. Then everyone except Keyblade, Bookworm, Indigo, and my minions will leave. We will go into the desert and defeat Mithos. Is this plan okay with everyone?” Since goo can’t talk, Bookworm and Keyblade were the only ones able to voice their objections. (Indigo just roared angrily and let Bookworm voice her objections.)
“Me and Bookworm aren’t your minions! Why should we do what you say?” Keyblade said defiantly.
“Yeah! There’s no way I’ll ever let you boss me around!” Bookworm said, once again proving that there was something wrong with her sense of self-preservation.
Shade rolled her eyes. What was wrong with these miscreants? She considered turning them into goo, but she already had enough people to turn into non-goo. And Bookworm would probably just use her Shield Charm to block the spell anyway. Instead, Shade just said, “We’ll go to the library.”
Bookworm instantly changed her mind about Shade’s plan. “Library? Okay! Let’s go! Come on, Keyblade! We’re going to the library! Yay!” She was now jumping up and down in excitement.
Shade returned everyone else to non-goo. Bookworm, Keyblade, Indigo, Mai, and Ty Lee followed her into the desert, leaving the rest of them to continue the fight.
After a while, Keyblade pointed ahead. “Look!”
“What? Is it the library? Where is it? Where?” Bookworm was still a bit hyper.
“No, it’s not the library. The library is buried under the sand, remember?” Shade said. Bookworm looked very disappointed.
“I think that’s Mithos up ahead!” Keyblade gasped. Suddenly, a strong wind hit them all very hard. The force of this wave of air knocked them all down.
Ty Lee was the first to recover. “Wow! Your friend is an airbender! Mai, wasn’t Aang supposed to be the last airbender?”
“Whatever,” Mai said.
“Mithos can air bend!?!” Shade was furious. Even with her new fire bending powers, he was still more powerful than her!
To no one’s surprise, Bookworm’s only reaction was, “Can we go to the library now?”
A while later, they arrived at a pile of sand that Bookworm decided must be the library.
“How do you plan to get it back up?” Shade asked.
“Just watch!” Bookworm grinned. “Rïsa! Wingardium Leviosa!” She yelled a word in the Ancient Language and a Hogwarts spell. Indigo lent her power to Bookworm’s spells too. Combining these different types of magic with her earth bending powers had a surprisingly powerful effect. Slowly, an enormous building rose above the sand. Bookworm smiled proudly. “Come on! Let’s go!” She ran into the library… and crashed right into Wan Shi Tang, the angry knowledge spirit. She suddenly realized that her brilliant plan did not include how to get out of the library alive.

Bending!

“Who are you anyway?” Sokka asked, looking confused.
“I’m Keyblade,” said Keyblade. “The dragon is Indigo. The one who just got hit with the water is Bookworm. And this is Shade…” She looked around. Shade had vanished. “Why does she always wander away?”
“Because she’s evil,” Bookworm answered Keyblade’s rhetorical question.
“So what are you doing?” Aang asked, curious about these strange people.
“We’re looking for our friend Mithos. He’s a tall guy with a shiny sword. Have you seen him?” Bookworm asked.
“No, but you can travel with us while you’re looking for him, if you want,” Aang said.
“Really? Cool!” Keyblade said excitedly.
“Can we hurry up? If we want to get to the Fire Nation in time for the Eclipse, we need to start moving,” Toph said impatiently. So, they all left the city and rode Appa, the flying bison, toward the Fire Nation.
Meanwhile, Shade had gone to Ba Sing Se. She went to the Earth Nation Palace. There were many guards, all determined to prevent Shade entering. It did not take long to get rid of all of them. Shade was disappointed that they had not provided more of a challenge. She proceeded into the throne room.
Princess Azula was discussing her plan for conquering the Water Nation with her brother, Prince Zuko, and her friends, Ty Lee and Mai. Noticing an intruder, Azula sent a bolt of lightning at Shade.
Shade’s magical defenses deflected this attack. She grinned. “Fireball!” A fireball hit Azula, turning her into a pile of scorched goo. Everyone stared in silence at the Azula-goo. Shade turned to Zuko. “If you don’t want to end up like her, teach me fire-bending now!”
Zuko did not like being threatened. But Azula had been his best chance of restoring his honor. Without her, he’d have to try to capture the avatar again. He had tried this many times, but had yet to succeed. This person had to be very powerful to defeat Azula. With her help, maybe he could finally capture Aang. Besides, the idea of being a pile of goo wasn’t very appealing. “Fine, I will teach you fire-bending. But you’ll have to learn while traveling. I need to capture the avatar.” Shade nodded in agreement. While searching for Aang, she could also look for Mithos. She wanted to cause him as much pain as possible for daring to be more powerful and more evil than her.
Azula’s friends had been silent so far, but now Ty Lee finally spoke. “Wow! Azula’s so gooey!” She poked the pile of goo. “Hey! I’ve got an idea! Since Azula’s goo now, can we go with you?”
“Yeah, that would be better than just doing nothing. I’m so bored here,” Mai complained.
“Okay, you can come,” Shade said. “I have minions now! MUAHAHAHAHA!”
Meanwhile, Aang and friends had stopped for lunch. Bookworm and Keyblade were helping Katara make soup.
“Can you hurry up? I’m starving!” Sokka wailed dramatically.
“Shut up, Sokka,” Keyblade said, motioning for him to be quiet. As she moved her hand, some of the soup moved too. It flew into the air and hit Sokka in the face.
“AAAAAAAAHHH! It’s hot! Get it off! Get it off!” Sokka screamed. Katara hit him with some water. This cooled him off, but left him dripping wet and in a very bad mood.
“Why didn’t you tell us you can water bend?” Katara asked.
“I can water bend!?!” Keyblade asked in amazement.
“I wanna try water-bending too!” Bookworm said excitedly. Indigo ran for cover. Keyblade moved away from Bookworm. The others didn’t know Bookworm as well, so they did not realize that it was a good idea to seek shelter now. Bookworm waved her hand over the soup. Nothing happened. She waved it again. Still, nothing happened. Bookworm waved her hand faster and more irritably. Her hand accidentally hit the soup, knocking some in her face. Getting hit in the face with hot soup is a very painful experience. Unable to see because of the soup in her eyes, Bookworm ran around randomly, screaming in a loud high-pitched voice and waving her arms. As she waved her arms, some nearby rocks flew up in the air and pelted Sokka, Katara, Aang, and Toph. As the shower of rocks fell down on them, they all started running around screaming too.
Keyblade finally came out of hiding to bend some water at Bookworm. It hit her in the face, washing the soup out of her eyes and cooling her off. Bookworm finally stood still. This caused the rocks to finally return to the ground. Bookworm looked around in confusion. “Why were the rocks flying?”
Katara stared at Keyblade and Bookworm in amazement. “You two definitely need to learn to control your bending powers.”
“Bending powers?” Bookworm remembered the flying rocks. “Are you saying I can earth bend?
“I guess we’ll have to teach them,” Toph said. Katara nodded.
“We’re gonna learn bending!!!” Keyblade and Bookworm cheered.

Tussle on the Beach (Cat)

"Owww.." moaned the now crushed Cat.
"Cat-chan, diajobudeska?"
"What?"
"Are you okay?"
"No."
"Okay." Cat then was helped up from her heap by Kairi and Colette. "Cat, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean-"
"It's fine Colette, you don't have to apologize." Cat took this time to explain her bad mood, stating "I'm sorry I'm in such a bad mood, but you gotta understand, I just got home. And I happen to have friends and family there too, no offense to you guys, I mean nothing like I don't care. But really, I'm gonna give Sora a pie-"
"....Cat...?" Before Cat could actually respond, Sora had tackled her into a hug. Cat was now on the ground, dizzy symbols in her eyes, and everyone else was staring with sweadrops. After Sora helped her up, he asked, "Cat, why are you so annoyed today? Usually, you're happy and full of energy." Cat stared at him for a minute, then answered " Well, I have exams, my parents won't let me out of my house, those stupid girls at the bus stop keep harassing me for no reason, and I can't beat Twilight Princess because I can't catch a stupid fish. Happy now?" There was silence. then Ed piped up "You know Cat, if those girls called you...sh....sh..."
"Short?"
"Yeah, that, I could beat them up for you." Ed made a tough looking pose by flexing him auto-mail arm. Al made a face (well, as much facial expression as a suit of armor can make) and said, "Ed, you can't beat up girls."
"And whys that? Unlike most guys, I'm not sexist." Ed retorted back with a sense of pride.
"But Ed, it's really mean to hit girls."
"You shouldn't talk, Sora, 'cause weren't you the one who beat up Maleficent and Ursula a year ago?"
"Riku, they were mean! And when I battled maleficent she was a big, mean dragon."
"They were still girls."
"That's it!" Cat sighed as Riku, Ed, and Sora were now going at each others throats. Al and Rockman did the same. Colette watched the fight with anxiety, hoping the two boys wouldn't not hurt themselves too badly. Kairi just looked casually, as this happened nearly every day (you tend to get used to it after spending X amount of years watching your best friends fight each other for attention. You tend to get very used to it, if not bored.). Lloyd and Netto seemed to watch with a heightening intrest.
"Yatta! This is great. It's just like a netbattle with humans!"
"Netto-kun, we really shouldn't be encouraging this!"
"Bu-" Netto was interrupted by a bright gold flash, which made him avert his eyes. when he opened them, he saw cat sitting on top of the three boys with a triumphant look on her face. "What?" Cat asked, feeling she should ask in case she had done something wrong. Everyone sweat dropped, and also promised themselves that they would do their best not to catch Cat when she was off again....ever.
