The inn was supposed to be a quiet place to rest.
Supposed to be.
Toph had other plans.
“There’s a bar downstairs.”
Katara immediately shook her head. “No.”
“There's food.”
“No.”
“Drinks?”
“No.”
“Free drinks?”
Katara paused.
Sokka slowly turned toward her. “Katara…”
“…Fine. One drink.”
Aang practically bounced out of his seat. “YAY!”
A few minutes later, Team Avatar—and Guest—were sitting at a table in the inn's bar.
The waiter returned with everyone's orders.
In front of Toph:
A MASSIVE FIVE-LITRE JUG OF RICE SAKE.
In front of Guest:
THE MOST COLORFUL MILKSHAKE EVER CREATED.
It had whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles, cherries, little candy pieces, chocolate drizzle, three straws, and a tiny umbrella.
Sokka stared.
Katara stared.
Aang stared.
Then all three looked at Guest.
Then Toph.
Sokka nodded confidently.
“Yep. Exactly what I expected.”
Katara smiled. “Guest's drink is adorable.”
Aang nodded enthusiastically. “It has a little umbrella!”
Toph grinned. “And mine's got enough alcohol to knock out a badger-mole.”
Sokka pointed at her.
“SEE? That's why nobody questioned the drinks!”
Toph shrugged.
Guest innocently began drinking the milkshake.
Toph slowly looked at Guest.
Guest slowly looked at Toph.
They exchanged a tiny smirk.
Sokka noticed nothing.
Katara noticed nothing.
Aang noticed absolutely nothing.
Then Sokka suddenly gasped.
“WAIT! LOOK!”
Everyone turned.
Toph immediately snatched the milkshake.
Guest grabbed the sake jug.
SWAP.
They switched drinks so fast it looked like they had rehearsed it.
Sokka, Katara, and Aang turned back.
Silence.
Absolute.
Dead.
Silence.
Toph was sitting there cheerfully sipping the rainbow milkshake.
Guest had both hands around the FIVE-LITRE JUG OF SAKE.
Aang's mouth slowly fell open.
Katara's eyes widened.
Sokka's soul visibly left his body.
“…WHAT.”
Guest calmly lifted the enormous jug.
GLUG. GLUG. GLUG.
Sokka shot upright.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”
Katara nearly fell out of her chair.
“Guest?!”
Aang pointed at the jug.
“THAT'S TOPH'S DRINK!”
Toph casually slurped her milkshake.
“Nope.”
Sokka pointed at her.
“THAT IS A FIVE-LITRE JUG OF SAKE!”
Toph nodded.
“Correct.”
“AND YOU'RE DRINKING A MILKSHAKE!”
“Also correct.”
Katara looked at Guest.
“WHY ARE YOU DRINKING THAT?!”
Guest simply continued drinking.
Sokka grabbed his head.
“THIS IS THE MOST CONFUSING THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME!”
Aang blinked.
“But Guest is the sweetest person I've ever met!”
Toph nodded.
“Yep.”
“And you're the meanest!”
“Yep.”
“So WHY DID YOU TWO SWITCH?!”
Toph shrugged.
“Because it's funny.”
Sokka froze.
Katara froze.
Aang froze.
Toph and Guest looked at each other.
Then both started laughing.
Sokka slammed both hands onto the table.
“YOU PLANNED THIS?!”
Toph grinned.
“Obviously.”
Katara pointed accusingly at Guest.
“YOU TOO?!”
Guest calmly raised the five-litre jug.
Toph raised her milkshake.
They clinked the jug and cup together like a toast.
CLONK.
Sokka stared at them.
“…I don't trust either of you anymore.”
Toph took another giant sip.
“Good.”
Aang suddenly gasped.
“WAIT!”
Everyone looked at him.
Aang pointed at the jug.
“HOW MUCH DID Guest ALREADY DRINK?!”
