"I've got it!" Sokka exclaimed. "I know how we can prove how Ozai's scamming Toph's parents!"

Azula raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean? Dad is scamming the CEO of the Beifong Corporation?"

"It's the only reasonable conclusion," Toph explained. "Considering the fact that Ozai is still holding a grudge, at least."

"Of course," Azula said, setting down her glass. "So, what is your plan?"

"Ozai is a big investor in the stock market as much as he is of a stockholder," Sokka said. "All we have to do is pull a few strings and let the stock market do the rest of the work for us!" (a/n~I have no idea what I'm talking about and why I know this)

"Hey, I read something like that in a book," Katara said. "Some guy double-crossed a group of six people, so they pulled a few strings and actually caused some serious damage." (brownie points to anyone who can guess what book I got this from)

"That might work," Aang said. "But I don't get how this had to do with us being 'practically lawyers.'"

"That's just it! Sparky here-"

"Could you please stop calling me that?"

"Not a chance," Sokka said. "Sparky here- and the rest of us have something to offer -all have something we're all pretty skilled at. If we put that all together, we could take Ozai down. For good."

"There's one problem," Suki said. "Some of us don't even know how the stock market works, or even what it is, really."

Azula laced her fingers together and stretched her arms, "Which is why you have me and Zuzu, of course. Being the son and daughter of a very powerful businessman requires mastery of certain skills at a very young age."

Zuko placed his forefinger and thumb on his temple, "All these nicknames are giving me a migraine."

"It's probably just the drinks getting to your head or something," Ty Lee said.

"I don't think you can get drunk on lemonade," Toph pointed out.

"Or Coke," Sokka added.

"Wasn't it Pepsi?" Azula asked.

"Arguably, Pepsi tastes better," Toph said.

"I think Coke is better," Suki said.

Aang shrugged, "Honestly, what's the difference?"

Zuko folded his arms and watched the chaos unfold, exchanging a glance with his girlfriend.

Everyone except Zuko and Mai whipped their heads towards Aang, a dumbstruck look on their faces.

"You have got to be kidding me," Sokka said.

"This has got to be our next heated debate, Pepsi versus Coke," Suki said, spreading her palms in front of her.

"Let's save it for tomorrow," Katara said. "It's getting late."

"Let's meet tomorrow after school to discuss our plans," Azula concluded.

Toph and Sokka were sitting outside the dormitory, still wearing their clothes from earlier. Their friends had insisted that they watch a movie before bed, and, unfortunately, they hadn't chosen the latest boxing match at Earth Rumble. So they decided to sit out here, admiring the night sky.
