Second Floor Common Room, Evening

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna had spent the day in her room, doing absolutely nothing. Now, she was in the common room, doing the same thing, only with television. She had a bowl of popcorn in front of her and was very interuptable. Faithful was using the television as a personal heater.

Katara had wandered down to the Common Room below hers to find hot chocolate. Wasn't that always why she was in a Common Room?

She waved at the red headed girl she thought she might have met once. "Hi!"

Sokka, two little kids in tow, peered into the common room. And ducked back out again, hopefully before Katara could see him.

"Alright, kids, mommy's in there," he whispered. "On the count of three, go run and tackle her, okay? One, two, THREE!"

"Hey! Want popcorn?" Alanna was in a very cheerful mood.

Ursa glanced at Kanna then grinned. "She's gonna get us all wet," she predicted confidently.

Kanna grinned back, and waved one hand. "Not if I'm ready for her."

Katara grinned. "Sure! Want some hot chocolate?" She paused. "I don't think I know your name. I'm Katara."

"Oooh, I like having a waterbender on my side," Ursa said with a grin.

Then she took off into the Common Room shouting "Mommy! Mom! Hi!" at the top of her lungs.

"I'm Alanna. And sure, I'd love some."

Her brother was missing, and Ana decided that the most likely place to look for him was the big ol' castle.

"Tommy?" she called out, poking her head into the room.

"Mom!" Kanna followed right on Ursa's heels, prepared to bend anything Katara threw at them out of the way.

"Alanna." Alanna told the girl. "Aren't you young for high school?"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Smirking, Sokka followed them over at a much slower pace.

Katara wasn't prepared to bend anything at either of them. Instead? She tripped over her foot while spinning around and ended up sitting down hard in the middle of the kitchen.

There were two little girls and her brother behind them. "Sokka? What are you doing?"

"Hey," Greg said, wandering in and flopping on the couch. "What's on?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"On the TV? My cat. Also, something about a ship. The Gigantic?"

Katara brought Alanna a cup of hot chocolate and sat down on the couch with her own. "You're a senior, right? Did you go to Prom last night? Was it beautiful?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna twitched. "Yeah, I'm a senior, and it was gorgeous. Thanks." She toasted the younger girl with her cup. "Feel free to steal popcorn and toss it at the lump on the TV."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Ahhh," Greg said, stretching out. "So, how's it hanging, Prom Queen?"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka snickered, then stretched elaborately. "Oh, you know. I'm just watching after them until we find their parents." He snickered again -- no, maybe it was more of a giggle this time. "Go on, ask them who they are."

Josh had escaped while Mommy was in the shower, and, bored, slid down the stairs on his butt.

And then he was elated, because he saw a spikey head and he knew what that meant.

"DADDY!!!!!!"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Call me that again and I'll remind you that I'm allowed to keep my sword inside the school." Alanna said very calmly.

At Sokka's giggle, Katara eyed the two little girls warily.

"Okay, who are you two?" She eyed the one in Fire Nation clothes especially. "Are you from our world?"

[geekyh2obender.livejournal.com]

"Kanna Addy," Kanna replied promptly. "How's Dad?"

Greg stared at the small blond thing that had launched at him. "Um. Hi?"

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"But it's true," he said.
