Our story begins in a large room. Scattered around the room are various pieces, props, and a few stage lights. In the background, we can see a stage set and behind that, doors that lead to other rooms.

Closer up, we can see a round table. Sitting at this table are none other than Fire Lord Ozai, Guru Pachik, Avatar Roku, and Monk Gyotso, who are all playing poker. In a chair a few feet away from them, Uncle Iroh is reading 'Ten Easy Ways to Improve Your Firebending Techniques.'

To our left, we see a long bank of windows, shedding light intot the room. We also see a rectangular table, where our teenage heroes and villains are. Let's see what they're doing.

"Go fish." Sokka told Zuko.

"Got any sevens?" Aang asked. Azula handed him a seven.

"This place sure has been deserted for a long time." Katara said.

"Yeah." Suki agreed. "Do you think they'll ever make and show some more episodes?"

"Man, I hope so." Aang said as he handed Ty Lee a card. "As far as I know, they aren't even replaying the episodes that have already been made and shown."

"That part in season two where you where up in space and going to join with the Avatar State was pretty cool." Ty Lee said. "How did you do that?"

"Computer graphics." Aang grinned.

"Computers, huh?" Azula grinned. A fiery anime background appeared behind her as she stood up and said, "We, the Fire nation, Will use the power of these computers to take over the world!"

A moment later she was whacked in the head by a boomerang, which was followed by Sokka's comment, "Oh, shut up!"

Suki turned to Zuko. "You're sister needs mental help.

"I know." Zuko replied.

"I wonder why they don't replay those episodes they already showed from season three." Toph said as she played with her metal bracelet.

"Yeah. Pretty soon fans'll start forgetting why they even watch this show." Mai said.

"You know what I think? I think we should go on strike." Sokka announced.

"Why would I do that?" Zuko asked.

"Yeah, I get paid a nice sum for doin' this gig." Aang added.

"So, what are we gonna do?" Katara asked.

"Well, we can always learn to play poker." Toph suggested.

Just then Azula's cell phone rang. She opened it, shouted, "Perish, fools!" into it, and slammed it shut.

The rest of the group sweatdropped.

Zuko's cellphone rang. "Hello…She's okay…She just forgot to take her medication this morning…Yeah, we're here…Yeah…we can do that. Okay, we'll be here."

"What is it?" Aang asked.

"They have a new script for us to work." Zuko told the group. "The directors were mobbed by angry fans, so they want to put out a bunch of new episodes.

"Yeah!" Katara clapped. "I gotta go get ready."

"Aww," Toph muttered as she went to her dressing room. "I wanted to learn to play poker."

The group dissipated away, and got ready to work on the new episodes. Avatar fans everywhere rejoiced.

T.A.R.N.S.: I have not seen a new episode in eons, and I am sick to death of of watching reruns of seasons one and two, which is kind of how this...thing...came about. Anyway, please R&R. Flame if you feel like it. L8R
