Sorry about not updating for a while. I've been busy and haven't found the time to continue with the chapters. Anyway this chapter is about Mai going through some emotional problems. Also, I got 5000 hits on the story. Thank you, readers.
(All of the guys are in the living room excited since the girl's went away for the week. This makes it a guys ruling the house week.)
Sokka: 7 days without Katara or the other girls. This is heaven.
Zuko: Are you crying?
Sokka: (wipes eyes) These are tears of happiness.
Aang: What are we going to do?
Me: I'll check the back room for something.
(I walk toward the back room and was about to get there when I stop by a guest room because I hear sobbing in it.)
Me: Eh? (presses ear to door and listens) Is that who I think it is? (opens the door)
(Inside the room I see Mai laying on the bed sobbing. The room is pitch black with the only light being from the hallway.)
Me: Are you crying?
Mai: (sobbing) Just leave me alone. And I'm not crying.
Me: Then why are you...
Mai: Get out! (flings daggers at me without looking up from the pillow)
Me: WHOA! (shuts the door in time just to block the daggers) I don't know if she's upset or just finally snap out of being emotionless, but either way she's much more dangerous like this.
(I walk back to the leaving room deep in thought for about 12.3 seconds before getting interrupted.)
Zuko: What was that yelling about?
Me: Mai's still here and she is sobbing about something.
Aang: Is she okay?
Me: I didn't have time to ask between the yelling and the flying daggers. If you want to try be my guest.
Sokka: This is just great. Our whole week is spent taking care of an emotionless girl going through depression issues.
Me: Don't worry, she'll get over it in a hour or two and be back to her normal self after that.
(We hear Mai's wailing in the living room.)
Me: Okay, maybe it'll take a little longer.
3 days later...
(The guys are in the living room at our wits end with Mai.)
Sokka: This has got to stop! I actually lost my appetite for dinner last night. Lost my appetite!
Aang: I'm having trouble sleeping.
Zuko: You'ld think she be bone dry by now after all of the crying she's done.
Me: You know, I'd think you'ld be a little more worried about Mai. She's having problems and when a girl has problems a guy should always be willing to help.
Sokka: How can we help? She's stayed in the room for 3 days straight and anytime we tried to enter the room she would fling dangers at us.
Me: We have to be patient. She'll let us help when she wants us too. She actually been silent for a few hours now. It makes me kind of worried.
Aang: Yeah, it's a good thing Zuko's been giving her food or she might have died by now.
Zuko: What? (to me) I thought you were doing it.
Me: No, I thought I told Sokka to do it.
Sokka: I asked Aang to do it.
Aang: I wasn't doing it. I thought Zuko was doing it.
About 4.7 seconds later
Me/Aang/Zuko/Sokka: (freaking out) O-O-O-OH M-M-M-MY G-G-G-GOSH!!!! (dash like crazy toward Mai's room)
(We burst through the door to find a skeleton laying on the bed.)
Sokka: (grabs the skeleton and starts crying) NOOOOOO!!! Even through we were enemies the show won't continue if you aren't in it to fling pointy stuff at us!
Aang: Sokka, that's not Mai.
Sokka: Huh?
Aang: That's the model skeleton Mai won at the contest at the horror fest some time ago. (points toward something) Mai's that one over there.
(Sokka looks where Aang is pointing and sees Mai lying face down on the floor.)
Sokka: Oh. (drops the model skeleton)
Me: Mai, are you still alive?
Mai: (murmuring) ...hungry...
Me: Zuko, get her something to eat ASTAPIT!
Zuko: Isn't it ASAP?
Me: Not the way I spell it now go be I beat you down.
(Zuko dashes out and comes back with a bowl of noodles.)
Zuko: (walks over to Mai) Here. (puts the noodle bowl next to Mai who is still lying face down on the ground) I'm going.
Sokka: Me too.
Aang: Ditto.
Me: HEY! Didn't you guess hear what I said a few minutes ago? Besides she hates me the most out of all the guys here.
Zuko: But, she tolerates you the most too.
Me: Really? (thinks about it and is interrupted when the door closes leaving me in the room alone with Mai) HEY! I thought you guys cared. Geez...
Mai: (continues lying face down on the floor)
Me: Come on, get up. (helps Mai to the bed and gets her to sit up) Eat this before you pass out from hunger. (holds the bowl of noodles to her)
Mai: (looks at the noodles and grimaces) It looks like uncooked noodles in dish water.
Me: (looks at the noodles) Oh. Guess Zuko forgot to cook it before bringing it. Still, food is food dispite how it looks. Eat it.
Mai: No.
Me: You need to eat something now eat it.
Mai: No.
Me: Fine. I'll just pick up the phone and call Ty Lee over to help me...
(Mai immediately grabs the bowl from my hands and slurps down the uncooked noodles.)
Me: Okay...now that you have something in your system will you tell me why you've been crying endlessly for the past 3 days?
Mai: (sighs) Fine. I started 3 days ago...
