Hello,
Since I'm very new here it'll probably be nice to start with something nice. I have a comedy fanfiction/ avatar show that update somewhat weekly (and that's pretty much the only reason the title has the word weekend in it). I've published some of it on another forum and got positive response.
I hope you like it too.
Just for a lil info, the plot setting is in a alternate, modern Avatarverse but the characters still have the same name as in the show (and their descendants of the original folks)
So without further explain, lets start.
The spotlights go on and a studio appears. Behind a long news desk and next to a big screen and guest couch sits the moderator of the new news show: Timur Lenković.
(Lenković):
Good evening and welcome ladies and gentleman to the first edition of the Avatar Weekend News Magazine; hosted from the political, cultural and what not center of this crazy yet wonderful little world: Ba Sing Se. We will inform you about all the interesting things that happen in and around it. Special thanks to the people who are watching us from the so called «real world» (although we know it better, right?). But lets start with the news, shall we? Our first report comes from Matthew Yashimoda who stands in front of the Four Nations Government building in BSS. What do you have for us Matthew?
[Matt is an experienced world traveler and adventurer. He's currently busy traveling the world in the name of this show and presenting the truth to you viewers... at least our version of it. He's wearing a journalist suit and though he's already in his early 30s, he still looks very good... or at least he thinks so. He's pretty clever and not easy to fool but his boldness can lead him into trouble.]
(Matthew):
Here before the building, two angry groups of demonstrants have gathered: one composed of EK and the other of FN citizens. They're both trying to make their point of view clear to the politicians inside, who are discussing a literally «trashy» subject. It all began when the environmental advisors of the two nations decided to take a walk along the beach of Ember Island. After some while, they heard the sound of litter dropping behind them. It seems they couldn't agree who was the one who dropped it and the argument soon evolved into a very «trashy» one; with trashy words, litter, fists, flames and rocks flying all over the place. This «trashy» issue has evolved into a much larger political debate. The politicians inside the building are currently talking trash. But, not only they can't agree who's responsible for all the trash in the world (they're all, in fact) but they can't agree on who should clean the mess up (and nobody wants that task) either. I'm currently next to the King of Rock himself, Chong Megasong, who took up the task to bring more public attention to the issue. Together with his wife Lily, he's leading the group of EK demonstrants. Chong, what say you?
[He, his wife and band look like they had jumped out of a time mashine from the 1960s. They're all dressed in Hippie stile.]
(Chong):
I'm here because, whenever I'm on the beach with my wonderful wife, trying to listen to the stars and becoming one with the universe for a moment, we keep stumbling upon this stinking trash. That's not the way Mother Nature should be treated! So I wanted to set a sign. Look over there. [he points at 3 big statues of the FN royals: Zuko, Azula and Ozai] These are entirely made of the FN trash that keeps being splashed at our coasts.
(Matthew): I see, but why does Fire Lord Ozai have a big smiley instead of a face?
(Chong):
Have you seen his face?... probably not. Neither has any of us but them sparky jerks. But that's not the point. They're here because we wanted to show the world what they do and what their trash does. [he lights up 3 matches and throws them at the 3 figures who soon burst into flames] Do you smell that?... yeah, they stink and soon these fire fools over there will get to feel it too. [the band starts to wave with large fans and soon the «fresh» breeze is carried away to the group of FN citizens, who are by the way, protesting out of the same reasons as the EK ones.]
(Random FN citizen): *cough* *cough* wtf. *cough* What you think you doin'!?
[The group becomes really upset, throwing countless curses and some flames in the air. The latter have some negative consequences... ouch!]
(Chong): [speaking to his group]
Know what people: last time I was on Ember Isle I heard Princess Zuzu singing in his high pitched, girly voice: «I love trash. I love trash. I love trash so much.»... cool song by the way... But anyway, I thought, if they love trash so much lets give them fire fools some of their own. Now!!!
[The EK group starts to pick the burnt, dirty remains of the royal statues and everything else they find suitable and throwing it at the FN group. The situation soon escalates and becomes really messy and dirty. Our reporter barely manages to get out alive, behind the ranks of the helplessly (or is it happily) watching Dai Li agents.]
(Matthew): [struggling for breath]
You just saw what's going on outside. As soon as possible, we will try to find out what's going on inside the building. Hope the situation isn't that «trashy» there. Back to studio. [sighs, and looses conciousness]
(Lenković):
Thanks for your report Matthew... Matt?... Mattie?... don't worry folks, he's OK, hopefully. Anyway, here are the other news:
Economy-
Fire flakes are flocking. They've grown more popular than ever in the FN. We can safely say it's a mania. Eating contests and parties are held everywhere. The Fire Lord has even ordered a large stock all for himself. Princess Azula will be holding a «bash and trash» party at her beach estate. Its rumored that she and her girls are first going to make out with the guys there and then trash them into the see just for the fun of it. Seems the EK will have a lot of unusual trash at it's coasts soon. That might become the source of another problem. Especially the Tom-Tom Crackers brand of Fire Flakes is so popular that it overwhelmed the market. [it's somewhat like Cola/Pepsi to coke] And, they're from Omashu. So if the FN continues it's course of politics it might just vanish from their stores. But, we'll see how this is gonna evolve.
Glamor-
Besides Ms. Azulas party there's not much going on in the world of glamor, except some rumors about the brand new TV series that is to air soon. Hm... Azula [dreamy look (on mod)... not much going on]... none sense. She could fill the tabloids all by herself. I promise, as soon as possible she will be here for an interview to tell us what's going on in her evil-twisted world. sighs happily Speaking of interviews, we are happy to have someone here. We'll be back after the comercials.
[Comercials]
(Lenković):
Welcome back.
Tonight we have a special guest indeed. Lets welcome Avatar Aang. [< walks in and sits into the couch.] Avatar Aang, meeting you is truly the greatest honor someone can receive in life.
(Aang): [excited] Really? I had no idea. Do you mean that?
(Lenković):
Well, dunno, my grandma told me to say that if I ever meet an avatar. [Aang looks disappointed] Anyway, how come you have the same name and appearrence as the last airbending avatar? And how come you're such an young one too?
(Aang): [obviously bragging a little]
I guess the Universe just loves my face. Dunno about any other reason. Maybe the fans just loved me so much that I had to come back. As for the second, I stumbled upon my birthpapers while I was playing in my uncle Gyatsos garage. He told me he would've told me about these in 4 years, when I turn 16 but I guess it ain't much a difference being the Avatar now or in 4 years time.
(Lenković): Good to know. By the way, have you seen all this trash talking on the media recently?
(Aang): [normal mode]
Yeah, that «f» and the beep after that keep appearing everywhere, TV, radio all the time. Some call it trashy or trash talking but I call it just annoying. I don't even know what that «f» word is supposed to mean.
(Lenković): Oh, don't worry, you'll learn the meaning sooner than you desire. Anyway, I meant the talk about the trash that keeps being splashed at the coasts.
(Aang):
Oh, that. It just stinks. I mean, they all making trash. Instead of arguing about who makes the most, they should get together and finally clean it up. Instead of throwing trash at each other, they could enjoy a clean ocean and have some fun and ice-cream.
(Lenković):
Hm, wise words for someone who didn't get into his voice break yet. But correct me if I'm wrong, as the Avatar, aren't you supposed to be the one to save our modern world from itself?
(Aang):
Well, to be honest, I discovered I was the Avatar just a couple weeks ago. I don't know much about what to do. [he sighs and his mood slowly goes down as he continues to speak] I know I'm supposed to help people but somehow it won't work or goes wrong. For example, I was walking through some street lately when I heard a lady in distress screaming. Immediately, I used my airbending skills to jump through the window, into the room. Well...blushes it turned out that her ol panties just weren't fitting anymore. The next thing I remember was that ambulance and that huge pain between my legs. See what I mean? It's just frustrating. [sighs & bows down his head]
(Lenković):
Seems you got some issues lil man. Don't worry too much, maybe you just need a lil more focus: a hobby or girlfriend or somethin'. Do you want to talk about what's troubling you?
(Aang): [tilting up head and looking hopeful] Yeah, for sure. I could use that.
(Lenković):
Then go and find someone to talk to; the time for our show is over. Thanks for watching. This edition has been sponsored by the weak founds and imagination of the creator. For better ones we need more viewers. Until then, good night.
