Summer Stories: Aaron

Sandy burst into Aaron's with big bags hanging off her arms. Toky followed behind carrying a bag too. They made their way up to the counter with mischievous grins on their faces.

Sandy: Aaron, I have a present for you!

Aaron: I told you not to bring me back puka shells.

Sandy: I didn't. Although I do think you'd look great in a puka shell necklace. I think you might actually like what I brought back for you.

She shoved a bag toward him. As he went to open it she stopped him.

Sandy: Not so fast. This present has explaining behind it.

Aaron: Fine...

Sandy: Now, I was in a market with Toky by the beach.

Toky: They had cool masks mad by scratching.

Sandy: From scratch, baby.

Toky: From scratching.

Sandy: Anyway, I saw this and it totally made me think of you. At first as a joke but then I realized it could have a function. So go ahead, open it.

Aaron reached in and pulled out a knit hat with fake dread locks attached.

Aaron: You're kidding, right?

Sandy: at first, but then I thought "hmm what if he was wondering what he would look like with longer hair?" So, you can just put that on a viola!

Aaron: You're hilarious.

Aaron rolled his eyes and dropped it back in the back.

Sandy: What? Don't you like it?

Aaron: It's fine. I'm sure I'll toss it on my floor and stare at it for years to come.

Sandy: That's it, that's last time I get you a thoughtful gift.

Aaron: I'm sure I'll survive.

Sandy: Fine, then you can watch as everyone else gets a smile and a friendly "You're welcome" while you just sit here and sulk with you're unappreciated hat.

Aaron: That's just something I'll have to live with.

Then, Bi Quan, the woman Aaron met at the hospital, came in carrying her baby girl in a carrier.

Toky: Look mommy, a baby.

Sandy: I see. She's adorable.

Bi Quan: Her name is Liana.

Sandy: Hey, you're Aaron's girlfriend, right?

Aaron: She's not my girlfriend! She's just my friend

Sandy: Whatever.

Bi Quan: I guess not...

Sandy: You're name's Bi Quan, right?

Bi Quan: Yeah...

Sandy: Mind if I nickname you?

Bi Quan: Sure, go ahead.

Sandy: Ok. Ummm....Quan...Quany...Biqy...Beq? You like Beq?

Bi Quan: I love it. That's my name from now on, Beq.

Sandy: Ok, well I gotta take a vacation present to my mom so, bye.

Sandy fumbled through the door with Toky following her. Beq put Liana's carrier on the counter and sat down.

Beq: So, after you've avoided the subject every way you could, I'm going to assume that you don't want to go out with me.

Aaron: Well, it's not that....

Beq: So, I set you up with a friend.

Aaron: You...you what?

Beq: Her name is Hua. She's a swim teacher and a swim team couch. She'll meet you at a restaurant called Natural Springs.

Aaron: But...

Beq: Well, bye.

Aaron sat in the booth and opened his menu. He was expecting Hua to sit down in the seat across from him but she slid in right next to him. Aaron tried to not to focus on it and tried to break the awkward silence.

Aaorn: So...there's a lot of soy on this menu.

Hua: Yeah. This is a vegan restaurant.

Aaron: And I guess that would make you a vegan.

Hua: Yup. No meat, no milk, no cheese, just soy.

Aaron: *sarcastically* Sounds delicious.

Hua: It is. Soy steak tastes exactly the same and real steak. You can't even tell the difference.

Aaron: I bet I can.

Hua: So, can I ask you a question?

Aaron: Sure.

Hua: Who would play you in the Aaron play?

Aaron: I don't know, I never thought about it.

Hua: You wanna know who would play me?

Aaron: Why not?

Hua: Miza Linelli. She's just so cool.

Aaron: Ok...

Hua: I decided this when I was about 14. I told everybody. My brother would always call me MIZA!!! But that was when we were kids. What did you do when you were a kid?

Aaron: I liked to help my uncle cook and help out in his restaurant.

Hua: That's cool. I wanted to be an actress so I would steal my mom's soap opera books and act out the scenes. I'd be like "You're husband would rather be cheated by me than married to you."

Aaron: Uh...that's uh...

Hua: Is this you're first date in a while?

Aaron: Yeah...

Hua: Yeah, me too. I just had to take a break after my last husband. He just went psycho at the end...PSYCHO!!!

Aaron: I know the feeling. Wait, you were married?

Hua: Yeah three times.

Aaron: So, so far you've been divorced 3 times already?

Hua: No, widowed.

Aaron:

In the middle of the night Zuko and Sandy snuck down the stairs. Zuko had swords in his hands and Sandy was holding Toky.

Sandy: Baby, are you sure there's someone on the couch?

Toky nodded and rested her head on Sandy's shoulder. Suddenly, the guy on the couch sat up and lit a fireball in his hand.

Aaron: Oh, good it's just you guys.

Zuko: Aaron? Why are you on our couch?

Aaron: Oh, I had this date tonight and I didn't want her to know where I live.

Zuko: So, she can know where we live?

Aaron: Well, if she comes looking for me, tell her I'm not here.

Sandy: Why are you worried about her anyway?

Aaron: She killed her last three husbands!

Sandy: Really?

Aaron: I don't know, that's just my theory.

Sandy: What happened to Beq?

Aaron: What about her?

Sandy: You like her.

Aaron: No, she's my friend.

Ignoring him, Sandy brought the back of her hand to her mouth and made kissing noises.

Aaron: What? She is!

Sandy: And Xi & Tero are just pals. You like her, she likes you. Now go ask her out.

Aaron: If she likes me so much, why'd she set me up with the maniac? ....oh...

-

The next day, Beq walked into Aaron's carrying Liana.

Aaron: Hey Beq. Hey Liana, did you know your mom has a crazy friend?

Beq: Did you not like Hua?

Aaron: No, your plan worked.

Beq fake gasped and widened her eyes faking innocence.

Beq: What plan? I didn't set you up with my crazy neighbor to show you what else is out there.

Aaron: Oh really?

Beq: Really.

Aaron: So would you like to...order something?

Beq: no...I better go.

Beq got up to leave. Aaron punched himself in the thigh for chickening out again.

Aaron: Beq, areyoudoinganythingfriday?

Beq: What?

Aaron: Are you...doing anything Friday?

Beq: Nothing, why?

Aaron: do you want to maybe have dinner with me?

Beq: Sure.

So bored. I had been saving a fun little short for a raainy day it that's what it is for me (hasn't stopped all day). So here's a short about what would happen if the avatar characters (including my fic characters) were stuck in fairy Tale land.

-

Aang: So, what do you think you are?

Zuko: don't know.

Aang and Zuko walked side by side down a path. Aang was wearing red, patchy clothes and a mathcing red hat with a feather in it. Zuko was wearing a white shirt with gold trim, blue pants, and spiffy black shoes.

Zuko: Well, what happened to you so far?

Aang: Uh, I traded a cow for beans, fought a giant, and saved a goose.

Zuko: I bet you're jack.

Aang: THe beanstalk one? cool.

Zuko: I think I'm prince charming.

Aang: Ha! So, how do you think we got here?

Zuko: I don't know, but I'm sure by the time this short is over, we'll be back to normal.

Aang: What short?

THen, they saw Katara and Sokka running towards them. Katara was wearing a blue, patchy skirt and an apron. Sokka was wearing patchy shorts with suspenders. They stopped when they reached Zuko & Aang.

Sokka: I think we lost her.

Katara: Sokka, I told you not to eat the house!!

Sokka: I was hungry!!!

Zuko: Dude, where's the flood?

Aang: You're hanzel and gretle!!!

Katara: Well, thanks Aang.

Sokka: We kinda figured that out.

Then, they heard someone singing.

Zuko: That's Sandy!

They followed the voice to a tall random tower.

Zuko: Sandy? You up there?

Sandy: Yeah.

Zuko: How'd you get up there?

Sandy: I don't know.

Zuko: Well, come down.

Sandy: Can't.

Aang: You have to go up there and get her.

Zuko: Why me?!

Aang: You're the prince. She's obviously Repunzel.

Zuko: Fine... Come on Sandy, drop you're hair.

Sandy: Say it.

Zuko: No.

Sandy: Say it.

Zuko: No.

Sandy: I'm not letting down my hair until you say it.

Zuko: *sigh* Repunzel, Repunzel let down you're hair.

Sandy: That wasn't so hard, was it?

Sandy grabbed her hair and dropped it out the window. Zuko started to climb up it.

Sanyd: Ow! Ow! Watch out for the rose bush. Ow!

Zuko: Stop moving your head.

Sandy: Well stop weighing a thousand pounds. Whao!

Sandy leaned too far out the window and fell. She landed on top of Zuko.

Snayd: Thanks for breaking my fall.

Zuko: Any time.

Sandy stood up. She was wearing a pink dress and a pointy pink hat.

Aang: Ok, so far, we still need Toph, Xi, Tero and Aaron.

Then, right on que, a carpet flew overhead.

Xiaoyu: Make it slow down!!!

Tero: come on man!! This is not cool!!!

THe carpet they were on did a few flips and dropped it's passengers. Xi and Tero landed on their butts. Xi was wearing turquoise poof pants and a matching crop top. Tero was wearins white patchy pants and a purple vest.

Xi: Hey guys, do you know where we are?

Sandy: A whole new world!

Tero: Shut up. That carpet's crazy!

Aang: Now we just need Toph and Aaron.

Toph: STOP FOLLOWING ME YOU FREAKS!!!!

Toph came running out of no where. She was wearing a yellow and blue dress and a red bow in her hair.

Katara: Hey Toph. Who's following you?

Toph: Some creepy munchkins who decided to permanently attatch themselves to my hip. This place sucks! Look at me! I'm wearing a dress!

Sokka: Uh, I think you're snow white.

Then, a high pitched voice yelled "wait up!" It was followed by a bunch of little voices chanting "one of us! One of us!"

A miniture version of Aaron came out of the bushes. His voice was higher than usual.

Aaron: Who are those freaks?! They keep saying they need a 7th.

Xiaoyu: Look, it's grumpy.

Aaron: This isn't funny! I look like a keebler.

Sandy: Hey, cool. So this is what it's like to be taller than someone.

Aaron: Why I oughta...

Tero: Oughta what, Grumpy?

Iroh: Stop fighting!

Zuko: Uncle? Where are you??

Aang: Yeah, where'd that come from?

Everyone wondered around trying to find him

Iroh: I'm the narrator. I'm everywhere.

Sokka: Cool. I wish I was the narrator

Toph: No, I should be. Then I won't have to wear this stupid bow.

Iroh: I'll send you home now but you all have to stop fighting.

gaang: Ok.

A cloud of smoke surrounded them and they poofed home.
