"That's it men! We're finally going to do it today!!" 

Sokka paced back and forth in front of the Rust Bucket's bunk beds, standing up straight as he brought out a collapsible white board on wheels with dry erase markers that had been found in the Rust Bucket's spacious trunk. 

On it were drawings of arrows pointing at crudely drawn stick people with kabuki masks and triangle dresses.  Chinese characters that roughly translated to "What are they!?" were messily scribbled above in black marker. 

"Today, we figure out the mystery of.. THE LADIES!" Sokka exclaimed. 

Sokka's dramatic pause was met with the grumpy bleary eyed faces of his friends, who were all sitting on the bottom bunk which had been converted into its fold-out couch form. 

"Sokka, it's 4 am, we haven't even decided where to land yet." Ben grumbled. 

"What happened to you wanting to stay in bed?" Katara groaned. 

"You don't get it do you!? We're about to fly into one of the most heavily guarded Matriarch Territories in the entire Earth Kingdom next to Ba Sing Sei!" Sokka exclaimed. "The only reason we haven't be discovered yet is because Rust Bucket flies higher than any of their ships."

"She can fly higher actually, she's technically a star ship." said Ben. "We could go to other planets if we wanted to, though that would majorly drain our fuel and there's no guarantee we'd make it back to Earth."

Sokka stared at Ben, his mouth wide open, before he shook himself. "Okay uh, I DEFINITELY need to discuss the whole possibility of visiting space with you when this whole war is over, but before that, yeah, we need a plan! We have an opportunity to penetrate the heart of the Matriarch territory and gather intelligence for Zuko! Intelligence that could change the entire war!"

"Not that I don't see the appeal." Katara said. "But we're taking a big enough risk as it is cutting through this air space. When we were running from the Matriarch Aang was right not to take any risks."

"Yeah, well no offense to Aang, but even in the Avatar State he doesn't hold a candle to what Ben's got up his sleeve. I've been looking hard at all the aliens we've seen him turn into so far, and I think with those we've got ourselves the perfect arsenal for getting inside unnoticed." said Sokka. 

"Ben's good no doubt, but remember how the Lei Lei person nearly beat him up last time?" Toph muttered as she began scratching her head with Ben's Sumo Slammer action figure. "And if Ben and Aang have a rough time with those lady people, then imagine how toasted we are."

"Which is why we're not going to just fight. Ben's pretty much our ace in the hole if things go wrong. If we need to escape! Then Jetray or XLR8 and we're OUT of there!" said Sokka. "If we need to bust our way out, then Humungousaur it up!"

"I mean I do have a contingency last resort if things go sour." Ben muttered. "I could go Ultimate."

"Go Ultimate?" said Katara. "What's that?"

"Oh right, I never mentioned the Evolution function." Ben said drowsily.

"Wait, like evolve like those pokemon things you and Sokka play around with?" Toph asked. 

"Not exactly but close-."

"Okay, first you tell me we can go to space, next you tell me you have Ultimate Evolution aliens, like seriously, take one huge revelation at a time here!" Sokka said. "Anyways, the point is Ben gives us an Emergency Exit plan, so our risk factor of doing this is like reduced by at least half.  But the infiltration part is a little bit more teamwork on our end- wait if we can go to other planets why aren't we already at Zuko's place?"

"Do you wanna accidentally fly through the center of the Earth by bending space through a wormhole?" Ben grumbled. "And get back to the infiltration plan please."

"Right right! Sorry getting distracted." Sokka coughed. "Wait, what's a wormhole? Do we have space worms?"

"Sokka focus." said Katara.

"Right, but we're talking about the Space Worms later." said Sokka. "Anyways, Sokka's brilliant infiltration plan, kablaaaamo!"

Sokka, twirled the whiteboard around to the back part where there was a picture of more crudely drawn stick people "There you have it."

Ben, Toph and Katara just blinked. 

"Uh, hello, any comments?" said Sokka. 

"What even is that?" Ben muttered. "Is that Four Arms on a unicycle?"

"Noooo! It's Katara and Toph wearing disguises!" said Sokka. "As Ladies!"

"You can't be serious." Katara muttered.

"I know it seems dumb, but it's more foolproof than you think." said Sokka. "There's a school in Kajing City that was set up last year. It's a school for the children of the Ladies."

"There are little Ladies?" Toph asked. 

"Well yeah, they're aliens, living things, they have to reproduce young somehow." said Ben. "Though it's weird they're still having kids if there are no males around. Maybe they evolved to reproduce asexually due to the absence of males."

"In any case, our planet is pretty much like a colony to the Matriarch. They have families and kids just like we do." said Sokka. "And they have a school that's called the Nursery where they live in dorms, sleep, eat and do school stuff like any other kid."

"So why is it more foolproof than we think?" Katara asked. 

"Because Smellerbee once infiltrated the school on her own." said Sokka. "And she came back with some really good info."

"Smeller-who?" Ben asked.

"Smellerbee, one of a group of kids who were led by a guy named Jet." said Katara. "You remember? I told you that story."

"Oh yeah, the freedom fighters who were kinda like Terrorist Robin Hoods." Ben muttered. "Or Peter Pan Lost Boys."

"She barely made it out with her life, but she found out something that is the key to the whole operation." said Sokka. "The Ladies NEVER remove their masks. Ever.. at least the students don't."

"What do you mean?" Katara asked, looking a bit bewildered.

"I mean that when they sleep, when they eat, even when they clean themselves, the bandages or gloves and the masks they cover their bodies with always remain on. Even in private. They treat their masks as their true faces." said Sokka. "It's almost as if they're afraid of what they really look like. They only remove their outer robes, that's it."

"So that means Toph and Katara only need to be girls to really sell their disguises." said Ben. "But that's only looking at it optimistically Sokka. The Matriarch has to know about this flaw."

"And that's where you come in." said Sokka. "Because you're right about that. They have this weird door at the front of the place that does the same kind of weird scanner light that the Rust Bucket does when it's putting a new map in its memory. Before I used to think it was some kooky magic, but thanks to Rust Bucket, I now know that it's definitely some alien detection technology."

"A genetic detector." Ben said. "Smart. They'd be able to read your genes just by scanning you. The Null Void uses the same scanner on their prisons to check for missing prisoners. But if it's just at the front entrance, hopefully it's only a general scanner to check species."

"All we need to do is get Katara and Toph past that scanner without setting it off." said Sokka. "Then they're home free."

"So how do I solve that problem?" Ben asked. "I can't use Grey Matter or Upgrade. Even if can get in there and start controlling their tech, they'll detect my genetic matter as I'm going in."

"You don't need to go in that's the thing!" said Sokka. "Chromastone is the key!"

"Chromastone?" echoed the rest of the team. 

"Listen, they use light to scan us right? What if we could redirect that light from a distance?" said Sokka. "Ben, you once told me Chromastone could send out a low spectrum invisible light right? But you never found a use for it. Well here it is. You use that light to mess with the projectors inside their scanners, block it out from the outside, and bingo!"

"That'll only work if their scanners don't also scan to tell them if somebody's genetics weren't registered." said Ben. "Are you SURE it's like that?"

"Positive. They don't have screens or anything like we do in the Rust Bucket." said Sokka.  "Come on guys! Think about it! We won't reach another opportunity like this. We know Ba Sing Sei is WAY too secure for some run of the mill op like this to work."

"I mean, it's a school. What information do we get at a school?" grunted Toph. 

Everyone just looked at Toph.

"Oh right.. learning." said Toph with a shrug. "I had a private tutor.. so.. yeah."

"Well I'm in." said Ben with a shrug. "As long as we have a way to signal an emergency exit so I can bust you girls out."

"I mean, it's a good plan." said Katara. "I'll give it a try."

"Alrighty then." said Toph with a shrug. "Let's go get schooled. Though here's the big question. How do we land without getting noticed?"

"Well, I have a bit of a plan for that too." said Sokka with a grin. "Ben, you mentioned something about your grandpa having a gun that projects an interdimensional gateway to a place filled with alien criminals and monsters?"

Ben smirked. "Ohhhhh, I see."

***************

Kajing City was an Earth Kingdom city like any other. Large outer walls, houses made of stone, brilliant architecture. 

However the differences between the city now and the city before the Matriarch landed on Earth were easy to notice. 

White Masked plate mail soldiers stood guard instead of the normal Earth Kingdom soldiers who used to occupy security. 

Metallic Drones shaped like dogs, possessing steel claws, rotating chainsaw-like jaws, and heat seeking scanners for eyes, patrolled the streets, accompanying these soldiers, many residents who went about their business tentatively avoiding them. 

And then there were the Ladies. The most Ben had ever seen in one place. 

Their masks were as varied as the faces of any human being, possessing a variety of different designs and painted patterns. 

The children were instantly recognizable by their heights and their immature ways of conversing. While the Adult Ladies went about their business in silence, whether it was shopping at fruit stands, or riding in litters pulled by chained and ragged human slaves,  the children were always gossiping happily, exchanging giggles when looking at human boys,  and begging their mothers to buy them toys. 

It was an odd sight considering how creepy Shivura and Lei Lei had been. It was amazing to see these normally mysterious and shadowy beings acting so.. well.. normal.

"I can't believe that actually worked." Katara said as the team walked through the street, wearing hoods and cloaks to disguise themselves. 

In the distance, an explosion was heard as a massive bat-like creature with no eyes and tentacles for legs screeched around the outer walls. 

"What's that thing again?" Toph asked. 

"Null Guardian, they keep the prisoners in the Null Void in line." said Ben. "They're on our side.. mostly. Azmuth, the guy who made the Omnitrix, designed them himself."

"So cool." said Toph with a grin. "So what's the plan now?" 

"We find an inn near the school, put on your disguises. Ben turns into Chromastone, waits for the signal. And bing bada boom we're in." said Sokka. 

"What if they call a parent teacher conference?" Ben muttered. "Like how do we make fake parents?"

"Ben, I think it's time I told you the legend of Wang Fire." said Sokka.

"They only have mothers Sokka." said Katara. 

"The legend of Saphire Fire." said Sokka. 

"Wait how do you plan on disguising yourself as a woman?" Ben grunted. "And just so you know, the Omnitrix does not work like that. I cannot gender bend myself. It's the reason I can't turn into a Lady."

"We'll figure out something." said Sokka. "Come on, let's get set up."

One room booked at an inn later, Toph and Katara had their bodies wrapped in bandages, gloves pulled over their hands, and their hair done into the hairstyle of royalty, adorned with pony tail crowns that Big Chill had 'borrowed' from a nearby shop. They then adorned black kimonos with tiny chinese characters on the top right representing the School's name. The typical uniforms of the school. 

"Great!" Sokka exclaimed, looking over Katara and Toph with a hand on his chin. "Now all we need are masks! Luckily I found some blank masks over at the store, and BINGO! I drew you some first class faces!"

Katara stared at the masks. The both of them looked like poorly drawn doodles of a girl's face while the other looked like Sokka's horrible attempts to draw Arnold Schwarzenegger after Ben showed them the Terminator on their weekly Movie Night. 

"Actually, I already got the Rust Bucket to scan the masks of every Lady we've ever got intel on, and using the features from their masks, created a randomized convincing one of a kind set of masks in the 3D printer." Ben said. "Here we are."

Ben held out 2 beautifully designed Kabuki masks, one which had watery wave-like designs painted on one side, the other depicting the face of a fanged beast. They indeed looked like masks a Lady would wear. 

"Yeah we're going with the Rust Bucket ones." said Katara. 

"Fine, don't make use of my special artistic talents." grumbled Sokka. 

Toph took the beast mask and Katara took the water mask. With their disguises fully realized, Ben had to admit  that if he didn't know any better, he definitely would've thought they were from the Matriarch. 

"Now comes the hard part." said Sokka. "Move out!!"

Later that day, Katara and Toph came to the entrance of the school where a line of Ladies in their own black qipao uniforms were already assembled.  

The scanner definitely looked like a metal detector. Two metal prongs sticking up on either side of the entrance to the building, humming as their infrared scanners were left on continuously.

As far as Ben could see as he crouched in his Chromastone form on a nearby roof, the security box next to the scanners didn't have any screens showing any infrared scans of the people that came through. It only showed an alarm system.  So it really was a simple species checker, that was it.  

It made sense when you thought about it. The society of the era had yet to even start rediscovering machines that ran on electricity, so of course  the people of this era wouldn't have any means of fooling such simple Level 3 alien tech. 

As Katara and Toph came up to the scanner, Chromastone went to work, aiming a beam of invisible infrared light of his own, blocking out the light on the scanners.

They stepped through, and no alarms went off, nothing. 

They had succeeded, Katara and Toph were inside the school.

"Rock Man to Boomerang Man, Rock Man to Boomerang Man, come iin Boomerang Man." Chromastone murmured into his Omnitrix badge. 

"What's up Rock Man?" Sokka's voice whispered. 

"The Sky Bison is in the teahouse, I repeat, the Sky Bison is in the teahouse." said Chromastone. "By the way, I love these codewords."

"I know right?!" Sokka said from the other end of the call. "We're geniuses for making these."

"Great, so now what do we do?" Katara whispered to the Plumber's Badge hidden in her robes. 

"It'll look suspicious if you're constantly talking to us." Sokka muttered. "Just go about your business and leave coms on so we can listen in, and whenever they let you guys out, let Ben know so he can fool the scanner, and then we'll sit down somewhere to discuss what we learned. Simple." 

"Right.. simple." Katara said, her nerves spiking the further into the school they went. 

Overall it seemed like an ordinary school. Classrooms, chalk boards, hallways filled with young Ladies going about their business.  The only thing was that Katara felt hot and uncomfortable underneath all her skin covering bandages, long robes, and mask. 

"How do we even start?" Toph muttered

"New students I see." said an Adult, standing in the middle of the hall, staring down at Katara and Toph. Tell me your names and I shall arrange for your lodgings and classrooms."

"Oh, they made that simple." Toph said. 

"I'm uhhh... uhhh.." Katara began. 

"Yes?" said the adult Lady. 

Sapphire.. Fire?" squeaked Katara. "And this is-."

"Godzilla!" said Toph. 

"Oh brother." Chromastone smacked a crystal hand to his face. 

"Those names.." The adult's mask leaned in as a shadow crossed it, her emotions unreadable thanks to the mask. "Are.."

Katara gulped. 

"So beautiful! Such unique names. I must remember to give my compliments to your mothers." said the adult. "You are all in Classroom 1A, give it your all!"

"Thanks Teach, you're the best!" said Toph, giving the Lady a couple of finger guns as she glided away. 

"Did you have to add that?" Katara muttered.

"What? I mean it's not like the kids here act any bit like the Ladies we've met. Look at em!" said Toph. 

Indeed, the conversations felt very 'Not Lady'-like.

"Oh do you think the Boulder will be able to take on the Hippo again like last year's match?" -

"No way, the Big Bad Hippo's been training his Earth Bending really hard this year. Oh Malka, I hear your mother is overseeing the matches this evening-"

"Yeah that's right, tsk, managing these humans blablabla, she's been ranting all day about shit like that.  Really humans can take care of themselves, she shouldn't make a big deal about it."

It made sense to hear this. It was as Ben told them all: Aliens were people too. They were born, they lived, they died, and they had social lives.  It felt a lot like the first time Katara saw life in a Fire Nation town and saw how they lived.  Within every evil there was some form of normalcy and even good.

It made Katara wonder how the Ladies born here were taught to perceive humanity. Well they were probably about find out. 

Katara and Toph found their classroom and chose seats at the very back of the class. 

The Teacher was already waiting next to the chalk board. Her mask was a yin yang symbol witha few speckled flame patterns. 

"Welcome Younglings, your recent births have been met with much joy. It is glorious to know that our species might continue and our culture as well, through you." said the teacher. "I am Laoguan. My name was taken from the native language of this world.  Now you might be wondering why I am introducing myself as if this is our first day. Allow me to introduce two new students. Sapphire, Godzilla, please introduce yourselves. "

"Hi, er." Katara stood up. "I'm Saphire Fire, and this is To- G-Godzilla."

"Which Nursery were you guys born at?!" exclaimed one of the curious girls. 

"N-Nurseries!?" Katara looked at Toph. This was bad. If they were figured out, Ben would have to come in after them pretty fast. They couldn't be switching to contingencies this early. She would have to play this part by ear.

"Uh, Shivura." Katara said, hoping that a random piece of knowledge off the top of her head would help. 

"Oh, Lady Shivura's ship? I heard that it was recently crashed by a ragtag team of aliens!" said one of the other girls. "Even a Segementasapien. I thought those were myths."

"Did you see any of them!?" squealed another girl excitedly.

"Uh, no, we left before that happened." said Katara. 

"Makes sense, they were probably part of the last batch before the disaster with Lady Shivura's ship." said another. 

"Enough with the questions everyone. What happened with the Nursery in Lady Shivura's ship is regrettable, but she is alive and well and that's all that matters." said Laoguan. "Now, Saphire and Godzilla, please take these books. We must begin the lessons in earnest."

One of the girls came down from the front and handed Katara and Toph each a strange looking metal slate.

"Huh?" Katara muttered as she sat down. "How is this a b-?"

Toph nudged Katara and pointed at the other girls, who were pressing the center of their slates, creating holographic pages that were projected into the air in front of them. They looked a lot like the 'web pages' Katara saw whenever Ben accessed the records in the Rust Bucket, with clickable arrows for turning pages and everything.

"Huh this will be interesting." said Katara as she pressed the slate and her hologram came out. 

"For you maybe, I can only 'see' what they're doing not what they're reading. 

"Don't worry, I'll read with my mouth, and you read my lips with your Earth Bending." said Katara. 

"Huh, not a bad idea."

Katara looked at the page she had opened to, and immediately felt somewhat stunned.  It was all in English writing. "Oh, er.."

"I got you." Chromastone's voice whispered from the badge in Katara's robes and Katara heard a phrase go off in her head. "Universal Translator Active."

Immediately the words on the page swirled until they turned into Earth Kingdom characters. 

"Thanks." Katara whispered. "Oh jeez this is-."

On the top corner of the page was the word Vaxasaurian, and underneath were illustrations of familiar looking alien dinosaur-like people. 

"Vaxasaurians live on the planet Terradino, and while their society is filled with civil wars between species, the Vaxasaurians enforce peace through their sheer physical superiority. " Katara read. "Guys, I think this is about Humungousaur."

As it turned out there were plenty of alien species in the book, and Katara found herself so fascinated, it wasn't long before she'd read up everything on Vaxasaurians, Incendiowyverns, Polymorphs, and Petrosapiens. 

And when Laoguan surprised everyone with a pop quiz (much to the groans of her students) Katara aced it with flying colors. 

"Very good. I see you've taken everything in passage for passage. I must say I'm impressed." said Laoguan as she looked over Katara's paper.  "As for you Godzilla, I must say I think we have ourselves a class clown."

Laoguan held up Toph's paper to show that doodles of a nuclear beam breathing lizard attacking a city over the fill in the blank bubbles. 

The rest of the class laughed as Toph leaned back on her chair, putting her bandaged feet on the table. "Just being expressive Teach."

"Now everyone, I'm you remember why we must learn about these barbaric races." said Laoguan said, looking at each and every other student. 

"To bring civilization, and salvation through the Great Matriarch!" exclaimed the entire class at once as if they had rehearsed it. "For only through the Matriarch can Sentient Life be saved from deevolution into a sinful society!"

"That's right dears." said Laoguan. "Now, let us turn to page 568 shall we?"

"Yes ma'am!"

"Anybody getting Fire Nation school deja vu?" Toph muttered. 

"Now as you all know, there are a few exceptions to the barbarians that resist control. Some are our willing servants who see to help us save the stupid and dumb few." said Laoguan. "Can anybody tell me what they are called?"

"They are the Blessed." said one student raising her hand. 

"Good, can you explain what the blessed do?"

"It depends on their contributions to the Matriarch as a whole." said the student.  "Some might just be ordinary peasants who we reward with bigger yields in grain and meat. Others might become so beloved that they are allowed to work in our government."

"Indeed, and one such famous official is in fact here to visit our class and teach us a bit more about the duties of a Blessed. Might I introduce you all to our special guest, one of the Five Generals."

All the students whispered excitedly as Toph and Katara perked up.

"A human as one of their generals?" 

She came in, each of her footsteps light but decisive. She wore a light fitting quipao like Lei Lei, but possessed no bandages on her exposed shoulder, several hunting knives were sheathed at her hip. 

She was no Lady, but she was a woman. An all too familiar woman who had escaped after Zuko had finally found his mother after many years. 

Black hair done in the style of royalty, a deceptively beautiful face that hid a streak of ruthless manipulative cunning and madness underneath..

Toph and Katara couldn't help but gape underneath their masks, their eyes wide with recognition. 

"Greetings students." said the woman. "I am Azula. How nice to see so many young faces-or is it masks? Looking up at me today?

https://youtu.be/hibCUpImCL8

Merciless Manipulator of the Five Generals: Azula. 

"Ohhhhhhh shiiiii-." Sokka muttered on his end of the coms. 

"Wait, the crazy chic who tried to kill you guys a bunch? That Azula?!" Chromastone exclaimed. 

"Apparently." said Toph whispered. 

"What do we do?!" Chromastone asked. 

"Play it cool, she definitely doesn't know anything yet." said Sokka. 

"So I see we have a few students here." said Azula. "Quite interesting. Sate your names, quickly."

"Uhhh, G-Godzilla."

"Saphire.. Fire."

"Saphire Fire?" muttered Azula. "Your voices sound familiar."

"D-do they?" Katara said, turning her voice deep. "I don't think we've met."

"Why are you talking like that suddenly?" Azula muttered, stepping closer, her eyes narrowing in suspicion. 

"Oooooh shit no." Chromastone muttered. 

"Ben! We need to go to plan alpha red!" Sokka yelled. 

"What!? We both agreed Plan Alpha Red could never work in this scenario!" said Chromastone. 

"Plan Alpha Red works if it's a human though! Seriously! Come on!"

"Fine! But if it doesn't work I'm going Way Big!" Chromastone shouted.

Katara leaned back as Azula's face neared, stopping inches from her mask. "This mask doesn't look quite the same as the ones I'm used to with you Younglings.."

"General Azula Ma'am!" One of the white masked soldiers stepped in, removing his mask and saluting quickly. "There are some people to see you ma'am!"

"People to see me?" grunted Azula. 

"Yes, they claim to be salesmen of some sort who say that know the whereabouts of a.. uhh.. Fire Lord Zuko?" said the soldier. 

Azula's eyes went wide as anger and desire crawled across her face like an angry flaming dragon. "Bring me to them, now! Sorry children, it seems I will have to cut this short."

"Awwww.." The class moaned as Azula stepped out of the classroom. 

Katara breathed a sigh of relief as Toph clutched her chest and began heaving. 

Back outside the school, Azula glared at the 'salesmen' before her. "Alright, I'm here, you better not be wasting my time."

"Why indubitably my good lady!" said Sokka, dressed in colorful salesperson clothing, with a fake beard plastred to his face. "We're all about not wasting time!! aren't we my good man?"

"Why indubitablytably!" exclaimed Ben, who was dressed in a colorful hat and the same kind of robes, a monocle on his face.  "We only trade in the finest wares and information! Right my good man?"

"Why indubitablytablytably my good sir!" exclaimed Sokka. 

"Indubitablytablytablytablytably to you too good sir!" said Ben.

"Yes hmm hmm indubitably!"

"Of course Indubitably!"

"Indubidubidubidubitably!"

Indubidubi-Scooby dooby Doobitably!"

"You have three seconds before I burn you all into ash." Growled Azula. 

"Of course! Ehem!" Sokka cleared his throat. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Fire! Wang Fire!  Inventor and procurer of unique and amazing objects, and this is my son, my boy! Bob Fire!"

"Howdy How Do!" Ben said, tipping his hat. "You see me and my  father happened to come across some intelligence that I believe you, the famous General Azula, terror of the Matriarch! would find quite useful! The Location of the Great General Zuko! Former Fire Lord of the Fire Nation Territories that are now in control of the Matriarch!"

"How did you come by such a thing?" Azula growled. "I doubt my brother would make such a glaring mistake that ordinary merchants would-."

"You think we're ORDINARY merchants!? Hahahahaha!" Sokka began laughing as Ben began laughing with him. 

"Silly Zula!!" Sokka exclaimed. "I am WANG fire.. our wares are so mystical, so incredible, so amazing that even your Matriarch magic cannot comprehend it."

"Truly? Then a demonstration of your products if you would, to show us how amazing you are." said Azula. 

"A demonstration? Hahahaha! We thought you might say that! BEHOLD!!" Sokka pointed at a the Rust Bucket which was sitting in the middle of the street.  We call it, THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS!!"

"Magic.. school bus?" Muttered Azula. 

"A-a transport vehicle meant solely for school!?" said Laoguan. 

"Cruisin' down the main street! You're relaxed and feeling good!" Sokka began to sing. "Next thing you know you see..  AN OCTOPUS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD!!?"

"Surfin' on a soundwave, swinging through the stars!" Ben continued 

"Take a left at your intestine take a right just past mars!!" Sokka sang.

"Okay okay we get it." said Azula. "You definitely are salesmen that much is certain. So your information on Zuko?"

"We'll give it to you, for a price." said Ben. "Perhaps we can discuss our terms later tonight! Over a nice meal or two! OR right now! Yes right now! You pick the place!"

"In that case." said Azula with a smirk. "I will discuss it now. Only-."

"Only?" Sokka and Ben leaned in closer. 

"It'll be just me and Bob Fire here." said Azula. 

"J-just me!?" Ben stammered. 

"Is that a problem?" Azula's eyes flashed dangerously.

"Problem!? No problem! He'll be fine!!" Sokka exclaimed before he leaned in close to Ben's ear and whispered. "We're soooo screwed. "
