Toph's Vacation: an Avatar Fan Fic

Meanwhile

Bumi: Aang, you don't know how nice it is for you to have remembered my birthday!

Aang: Sorry it's several months off schedule.

Bumi: Nonsense! This giant carved wooden ball is just what Flopsy needs for exercise.

Aang: Actually, it's supposed to be a decorative-

Flopsy: (Grabs the decoration and proceeds to gnaw his teeth on it)

Aang: ...Okay... or that. That works too.

Bumi: Oh my... it's been such a long time since I've celebrated my own birthday, what with being a ruler and all.

Aang: Maybe you should retire, or something. As hard as it'd be, I'm sure I could find a suitable ruler for Omashu. You deserve a break.

Bumi: Yes, perhaps I do... you there! What are you here for?

Haru: (Bows) I was admiring the architecture of your city, noble king, and I've come all this way in hopes of asking you-

Bumi: How'd you like to be king of Omashu?

Haru: Ah- um... y-your highness! I mean, I-I'm honored, but-

Bumi: Aang, what do you think of this fellow?

Aang: He's a good friend of mine. We go way back.

Bumi: Then it's settled! You seem like you're disciplined enough. My councilors and chief guardsman will show you the ropes.

Haru: I...

Chief Guardsman: (Sighs) Just come with me... (leads Haru out of the throne room)

Bumi: Right! Now that I'm retired, it seems I have some free time on my hands! What should we do first?

Aang: We could always ride the mail chutes.

Bumi: Hmm... too boring.

(Aang's friends talk to a guard at the throne room's entrance to gain access)

Toph: But we're the avatar's friends! We need him with us so we can go as a group to Earth Rumble Eight! I've already bought four tickets!

Bumi: Ah! I've got it! Fire Lord Zuko, I should apologize for cutting this conference short, but you simply must attend one of our finest cultural events!

Zuko: (Used to Earth Kingdom conferences going like this, and rubbing his temples due to a small yet oddly prominent headache)
