Chapter 11: Food Fight

The customer, whose clothes were soaked in hot soup, grabbed a chicken leg from her sibling's plate and started hitting the waitress on the head with it. The waitress slapped the chicken leg away, causing it to go flying and collide with the chest of a young woman sitting in a neighboring table with her boyfriend.

Trying not to laugh, the young man picked up a napkin and attempted to help clean the barbeque sauce off his date. With the war cry of "pervert!" the young woman punched her date in the nose, effectively breaking it, and sending the poor man tumbling down.

The man tried to hold on to the edge of the table to avoid the painful fall. His hand rested on a spoon placed at the edge of a large bowl of ice-cream they had been happily sharing not so long ago. The spoon served as a catapult, sending a scoop of ice cream flying into the face of a muscular man in the next table.

The strong, tall, muscular man angrily got up and picked up the younger man by the shirt. Upset that someone other than her was about to beat up her boyfriend, the young woman delivered a sift kick to the muscular man's behind with her odd pointy shoes.

The large muscular man screamed like a little girl and ran around in circles holding his behind. He ran into another waitress who was dumbly staring at the show. The tray she was holding went flying, with the meal falling all over the place and the dessert, an ice-cream sunday, landed on Zuko's head.

The fire bender angrily got up, but the Avatar was quick to stand in his way. "Calm down Zuko. Remember how you said you didn't want to draw your power from anger anymore?"

"I didn't have ice-cream on my head when I said that!" Zuko yelled in Aang's face.

Aang stepped back and swallowed. Katara felt the need to intervene. "If you would just stay calm I'm sure there's a better solution for all of this?"

"You're right, and I know what that solution is," Sokka a serious expression with the glow of hidden genius in his eyes. But the expectations for a smart solution were soon dissolved when Sokka tossed his stake into the air. "Food fight!" Everything went into chaos from there.

Aang felt the need to help restore peace to the restaurant, since he was the Avatar. But it backfired and he ended up covered in everything from hot sauce to ice-cream. They decided that it was best to let the chaos calm down by itself, and escaped while they still could.

A short distance away from the restaurant, the Avatar's group was leaving of trail of pieces of food as they walked and brushed it off their bodies. Their clothes, especially Aang's would be terrible stained, they were sure of it. Being the resident water bender, Katara often did the laundry; she certainly wasn't looking forward to that.

"I want your banana." Toph was the first to break the silence.

A teenager who was passing by overheard and stared at the young girl with wide eyes.

Zuko realized that the banana from the ice-cream sunday was still sitting on his head. All those hours in the past of practicing walking like a prince with books on his head, gave him the ability to walk around with a banana, or another item on his head without dropping it.

The random teenage passer by laughed and shook his head, then continued on his way smiling about some obscure joke that no one else caught.

Zuko took the banana and quietly gave it to Toph who ate it.

They stopped in front of a small food stall and got some snacks since they didn't get to finish their meal. "What are you ordering, Toph? They have-"

"I know, I can smell it," Toph interrupted Aang's question. "I think I'm alright with what I ate at the restaurant and the banana." Unlike the others, Toph had witnessed the series of events that started the food fight with her earth bending and continued her meal while doing so. The others had left their food unattended to stare at the domino effect that ended in a massive food fight.

Those who wished to finish filling up their stomachs, bought some food to eat along the way, plus edible supplies for later. "Are you sure you don't want to eat either, Zuko?" Aang notice Zuko didn't seem to have any intentions of ordering something.

"I'm not in the mood to eat anymore," Zuko replied with a pouty face.

"You being cranky is not good, and most likely not safe," Sokka shoved a small fruit salad bowl into Zuko's hands. "Have a fruit salad!"

The fire bender managed to mutter a thank you and follow the group as they continued out of town and hopped on Appa.

In mid air, Zuko thought of a great way to relieve his bad mood, taking revenge on Toph. She was a bit surprised to feel a cool piece of fruit pressed against her lips. "Try it, it's good."

Toph could sense Zuko's challenge. He was stubborn and refused to give up, she should have known. She gracefully are the piece of apple, lips gently brushing his fingers, and she thought she felt him tense up at the contact. Honestly, Zuko was too easy to read, being close made him nervous, it was so obvious. Toph decided to remind him just who was going to win their secret little war and scooter closer resting her head on his shoulder. "Pretty good, but you need to eat too." Toph reached for the salad bowl and missed it on purpose, instead tracing Zuko's hand around the bowl. She felt his grip start to loosen and took the bowl before he dropped it.

That's who it went the entire way back, with Toph and feeding each other. Zuko realized that he was getting too nervous around Toph, and vowed to break her nerves of steal. The first step was to put an arm around her shoulders and hold her close. Zuko thought Toph would have to start feeling awkward eventually; she simply had to... but she did not.

To be Continued

Disclaimer, I do not own Avatar. Mrs. Aang is such a mind reader. I had a scene in mind with Zuko and Toph feeding each other, but before I even wrote it Mrs. Aang suggested it in a review. I guess toko fans think alike. :D It was going to happen in the restaurant but I didn't want the food fight to interrupt it.
