This is a one-shot kinda thing I did for my Zhurrick blog. I may continue this later.
"Goodnight, Ba Sing Se!"
The crowd roared with cheers and screams, Varrick strummed his guitar one last time, remaining in the pose as he was slowly lowered down to floor below the stage as the coloured lights dimmed. The screams of his many fans died out and was greeted by the slightly annoyed face of his manager, Zhu Li.
"Varrick, what have I told you about managing time? You can't just extend the concert for more than an hou-" Zhu Li had been speaking until Varrick had so rudely interrupted, as usual. "Hush," he pressed a finger on her lips, "it's not my job to manage things. That's what you're here for, Manager. So manage." His finger tapped her small nose as he added the last part before greeting some girls who were waiting backstage for him. Zhu Li watched as he walked away, "Where on earth are you going?! We have things to plan!" she yelled but after realizing he was going to ignore her she gave up and sighed. "Rockstars…" she muttered. Varrick was such a pain; she wondered why she stuck to the job. "The only reason I agreed to this job…" she had began muttering until she was interrupted by the call from one of the stage crew for some guidance. After everything was wrapped up, Zhu Li headed to the hotel and, with a great amount of difficulty, drifted off to sleep.
Varrick sat with his arms crossed. He was currently at some karaoke lounge with some girls. Zhu Li was such a buzz kill, always ruining his fun. She was so… anal retentive. All she would do was nag at him all day about interviews, photo shoots, and other boring things he wasn't interested in. Why couldn't she just be like every other girl? Varrick necked the shot that had been in front of him, wincing as it went straight to his head. He was totally going to get it from Zhu Li tomorrow morning, a hangover was nothing compared to her.
Varrick was probably asleep drunk with some random girl in his bed, she assumed. Zhu Li had woken up early that morning and went to check the state he was in. "He should be glad the tour ended yesterday," she said before arriving in front of Varrick's premium suite at the Ba Sing Se Hotel and knocking on the door.
There was no answer, so she just entered. She found herself looking at the sleeping figure of Varrick, who was probably butt naked under the many sheets, and she walked up to him. "Varrick, you need to get up. You have a flight to the Fire Nation this afternoon for that interview you promised them."
Varrick groaned.
"Varrick."
He groaned again.
"Varrick."
He covered his head with his pillow.
"Varrick!" Zhu Li yelled, leaning closer to him. She hadn't actually expected him to get up for a good few more minutes, so she was unprepared when he sat bolt upright, only stumbling back slightly.
"I'M UP!" Varrick yelled back at the voice, sitting upright with his eyes wide open. Varrick was now looking into the eyes of an unusually familiar beautiful woman staring right back at him.
It took a moment for Zhu Li to recollect herself; she shook her head slightly and looked away. "Good. Now, hurry up and get ready," she said before hurrying out of the room.
Varrick was still in a daze, "Was that really Zhu Li?" he asked himself. He'd never seen her like that before.
-To be continued-
Eh? So, what do you guys think? Shall I continue? Or just leave it here for your imagination to run wild on?
