Hey, I'm Ruby of Raven and this is my first song fic ever so don't make fun of me. I do not own any part of the Avatar the Last Air Bender show or cast.
"Katara! Guess who's playing at our favorite hang out?", Toph asked.
"Who?", I asked.
"The Jasmine Dragons! So you wanna go?"
"Sure, how about you Suki?"
"Of course! I mean Sokka's gonna be there and-"
"We got it. We know how much you wanna see your crush.", Toph said. We where sitting in Toph's big living room. Toph has a mansion so it's pretty fun to hang out there.
"So their gonna be up at the club?", I asked Toph.
"Yeah. But they start in fifteen minutes so we need to go. Now!" Me and Suki jumped out of our seats we were sitting in, ran to Toph's limo, and got in. On the way to the club I started to space out. 'I'm gonna see Zuko! I've had a huge crush on him since forever. But I think it's turned into something more, something more like love. Ever since we first met we've been good friends. I wanna be something more but he's still dating that damn Mai! I think I've fallen in love with Zuko.'
"Ow!" I looked at Toph who had just punched me in the arm. "What was that for!"
"Sorry but you wouldn't snap out of it. Plus, we're here.", Toph said. I looked out the window and we had indeed arrived.
When I got into the club I could see the announcer guy setting up the microphone. Good, that means we had just made it in time.
"Katara, come on. Let's go up by the stage so we can see them better.", Suki said as she started to drag me threw the crowd. Toph just followed.
When we got over by the stage the club went dark and Suki started squealing. "Katara it's time!", she yelled to me. All the girls around us were screaming and squealing too. So the club was pretty noisy. It seemed like me and Toph were the only ones not screaming our heads off.
"Hey everybody! How we all doing tonight?" The announcer guy said as he came on stage. A bright spotlight was on him. Everyone said 'Good' or screamed in response to his question. "So I guess you all came here to hear this great band 'The Jasmin Dragons'?" Everyone screamed 'Yes' as a response but Toph didn't. "Well, your in luck because here is 'The Jasmin Dragons'!" The announcer got off the stage and the lights on the stage came on to reveal the band. Everyone screamed except for Toph and me. Even though I was pretty excited myself.
On stage you could see Sokka on the drums and Zuko as the lead singer. You could also see the rest of the band but I didn't know who the rest of them were.
Then all the sudden the band began to play and the main spotlight came onto Zuko.
He began to sing:
'Sit tight, I'm gonna need you to keep time, come on just snap snap snap your fingers for me.
We all snapped our fingers.
Good good, now we're making some progress come on just tap tap tap your toes to the beat.
And I believe, this may call for a proper introduction.
And well, don't you see? I'm the narrator, and this is just the prologue.
Swear to shake it up if you swear to listen.
Oh we're still so young, desperate for attention
I aim to be your eyes
Trophy boys, trophy wives.
Swear to shake it up if you swear to listen
Oh we're still so young, desperate for attention
I aim to be your eyes
Trophy boys, Trophy wives
Applause! Applause! No, wait wait...
Dear studio audience,
I have an announcement to make.
It seems the artists these days are not who you think.
So we'll pick back up on that on another page.
And I believe, this may call for a proper introduction
And well, don't you see? I'm the narrator and this is just the prologue.
Swear to shake it up if you swear to listen.
Oh we're still so young, desperate for attention
I aim to be your eyes
Trophy boys, trophy wives.(x2)
Swear to shake it up, you swear to listen.
Swear to shake it up, you swear to listen.
Swear to shake it up, you swear to listen.
Swear to shake it up, swear to shake it up.
Swear to shake it up if you swear to listen.
Oh we're still so young, desperate for attention
I aim to be your eyes
Trophy boys, trophy wives.
Swear to shake it up and you swear to listen.
Oh we're still so young, desperate for attention
I aim to be... your eyes.'
Everybody screamed and clapped. That was a pretty awesome song. Who wouldn't love it? "That was so good!", Suki told me.
"I know."
"Did you watch Zuko the whole time?", she asked me. I blushed a deep red.
"Maybe."I said.
Then Zuko got everyone's attention be saying,"Hey, were 'The Jasmin Dragons'. Were happy to be here tonight. So, how did you guys like the song?" Everyone screamed. "Cool, cool. Well if you liked that song then you're gonna love this song. Now I better see everyone moving their feet because this is one hell of a dance song."
The band started up and Zuko started to sing again.
'She says she's no good with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out
"A joke of a romantic" or stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words too over-dramatic
Tonight it's "it can't get much worse"
Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me
You always fold just before you're found out
Drink up its last call
Last resort
But only the first mistake and I...
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by
Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress, love
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me
Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress (mattress, mattress)
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance'
Everyone screamed and clapped again. That was such a good dance song that even Toph was dancing to it.
"I would like to dedicate this song to Mai, my girlfriend. Can we get a spotlight on her?", Zuko asked. Ten feet away from me the spotlight landed on Mai. She looked a little shocked and embarrassed.
"Uh, Hi?", she said.
Then the spotlight went back to Zuko. "Yep, that was my girlfriend. This ones for you.", he said.
Once again, the band played and Zuko started to sing.
'Hey, hey, hey, hey
Top down in the summer sun
The day we met was like a hit and run
And I still taste it on my tongue
(Taste it on my tongue)
The sky was burning up like fireworks
You made me want you, oh, so bad it hurt
But girl, in case you haven't heard
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello then goodbye
(Oh yeah!)
There's just one thing would make me say
(Oh yeah!)
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, but now it's over
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Hot sweat and blurry eyes
We're spinning on a roller coaster ride
The world stuck in black and white
(Stuck in black and white)
You drove me crazy every time we touched
Now I'm so broken that I can't get up
Oh girl, you make me such a lush
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello then goodbye
(Oh yeah!)
There's just one thing would make me say
(Oh yeah!)
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, but now it's over
All the time I wasted on you
All the bullshit you put me through
I'm checking into rehab 'cause everything that we had
Didn't mean a thing to you
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, but now I'm sober
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello then goodbye
(Oh yeah!)
There's just one thing would make me say
(Oh yeah!)
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, but now it's over
Zuko began clapping and the crowd joined in and began to help sing the na,na,na part of the song as well.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Now it's over, I still taste it on my tongue
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Now it's over'
Everyone clapped, laughed, and screamed. That was an awesome song. The only one not looking happy was Mai. She stormed up onto the stage and grabbed the microphone from Zuko.
She asked, "Did you just break up with me through a song? And in public?"
"What do you think?", he answered with a smirk.
"I don't know!"
"A little birdy told me all about what you and Jet did. I can't believe you cheated on me and with him!" The audience gasped.
Mai looked shocked at this then quickly got over it. "It was just a one nightstand. Can't you forgive me? Don't you love me anymore?"
"The song said it all Mai. I was love drunk and now it's over," he told her. The crowd went 'ooohhh'.
"Fine! Jet was a way better kisser anyway!" Then she put the mic back and walked off the stage. The audience clapped.
'Good bye Mai! I wonder if I'll have a shot with Zuko now?', I thought.
Then Zuko spoke again. "This next song goes to Mai and Jet. In case you've got anymore questions about why I dumped Mai."
The band started but with a different vibe than I thought it would.
Then Zuko started singing again.
'I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place.
And you're still probably working
At a 9 to 5 pace
I wonder how bad that tastes
When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
Now where's your picket fence love
And where's that shiny car
Did it ever get you far?
You never seem so tense, love
Never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are?
Truth be told I miss you
Truth be told I'm lying
When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
If you find a man thats worth the damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Where did it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on
Truth be told I miss you
Truth be told I'm lying
When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth the damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well hope it gives you hell
Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
If you look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well
Zuko started clapping again and the audience began to do it as well. But this time he held out the mic to the crowd and mouthed the word 'sing' to the audience. We did as told.
When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth the damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well hope it gives you hell
Then Zuko started to sing again.
When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell (hope it gives you hell) The audience sang the the little echo.
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell (hope it gives you hell)
When you hear this song and you sing along well you'll never tell
And you're the fool I've just as well I hope it gives you hell
When you hear this song I hope that it will give you hell
You can sing along I hope that it puts you through hell'
The crowd clapped and cheered. Then the big spotlight landed on Mai and Jet who where about to bolt from the club.
"How did you like that song?", Zuko asked.
Mai and Jet didn't answer, they just ran out the door but not without Mai flicking off Zuko first. After they were out of the club everyone cheered. I guess no one liked Mai or Jet but really who would?
"Thank God their gone." Zuko was smiling with self satisfaction. "Now this next song I would like to dedicate to someone very special. Katara would you come up here, please?", Zuko asked me.
I was shocked. Then before I knew it I had a big bright spotlight on me. "Earth to Katara! Girl, you need to go on stage!", Suki said as her and Toph guided me up onto the stage. Before I knew it I was on stage facing Zuko.
"Uh, but why?", I asked.
"Katara, I've been meaning to dump Mai for a long time."
"Why-"
Zuko cut her off. "I wanted to do it so I could be with you. The more time I spent with you the more I found myself falling in love with you.", Zuko told me while he smiled with his winning smile at me. The audience went 'aaaawww'.
"Zuko, I-I feel the same way. I love you too.", I said and then I returned his smile with a smile of my own. Then he kissed me. It lasted about five seconds but it was enough to make me feel light headed. It was the best kiss by far that I'd ever gotten. I really didn't want it to end but I didn't want to miss Zuko's song either.
Then Zuko said to the audience,"Okay then, now that that's settled I'd like to tell you that this next song will have more of a pop vibe. So here it goes." The band started up on that cue. Then Zuko started singing.
[ZUKO]
(Yeah man)
'So we back in the club
Get that bodies rockin from side to side (side to side)
Then Zuko started to dance with me while he was singing.
Thank God the week is done
I feel like a zombie gone back to life (back to life)
Hands up, and suddenly we all got our hands up
No control of my body
Ain't I seen you before?
I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Yeah, baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
So dance, dance, like it's the last, last night of your life, life
Gonna get you right
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Keep downing drinks like this
Not tomorrow that just right now, now, now, now, now, now
Gonna set the roof on fire
Gonna burn this motherfucker down, down, down, down, down, down
Hands up, when the music drops
We both put our hands up
Put your hands on my body
Swear I seen you before
I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Yeah, baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
So dance, dance, like it's the last, last night of your life, life
Gonna get you right
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Then Haru came on stage and started singing:
'Oye Zuko ya tu sabe' la jugada. If Erykah Badu can get naked then baby I'm sure that you can
Better holla at Tyrone
Let him know Imma jump through your fruit loops
Call a chico a Tucan
We're from the blocka blocka Opa-locka
Were the boys get loose like wacka flaca
Oh no man, it's global
Was' up ma?

I wanna be your gyno, no not your Doctor
Dale abre ahÃ
Papanicolau baby
Let me see
Yo soy el cubanito

Then Zuko started singing again.
'Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Yeah, baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
So dance, dance, like it's the last, last night of your life, life
Gonna get you right
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Yeah, baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
So dance, dance, like it's the last, last night of your life, life
Gonna get you right
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Yeah, thank you DJ'
The crowd went wild. I loved the song Zuko just sang for me. I loved it! But now it's my turn.
I took the microphone from Zuko and said,"It's my turn to sing a song for you now."
"Sure, go ahead Katara," he told me. So I went over to Zuko's band and told them I wanted to sing a song I had written. I didn't bring any copies of the music with me so I had to write down most of the notes as fast as I could and explain the rest of it. It ended up taking only five minutes. Zuko had to come off the stage while I explained it because I didn't want him to get any hints. But after I was done he did come back up on stage.
"Kay, we're ready." I told the audience.
Then the band started up and I started to sing:
'You think I'm pretty
Without any make-up on
You think I'm funny
When I tell the punch line wrong
I know you get me
So I let my walls come down
Down...
Before you met me
I was alright
But things were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February
You'll be my Valentine,
Valentine...
I started to dance with Zuko.
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever
You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
We drove to Cali
And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and
Built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever
You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
(FAST!)
I might get your heart racing
In my skin-tights jeans
Be your Teenage Dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your Teenage Dream tonight
Toninght,tonight,tonight,
Tonight,tonight,tonight
Yoooouuu...
You make me
Feel like
I'm livin' a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
No...
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
(FAST!)
I might get your heart racing
In my skin tights jeans
Be your Teenage Dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your Teenage Dream tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight'
The crowd went wild again.
Then Zuko kissed me but this time it was a lot more passionate. We probably stayed like that for five minutes then finally Zuko pulled away. He whispered to me,"I loved that song Katara and I love you. Would you go all the way with me tonight? I could make your teenage dream come true."
I smiled at him. "Then you can be my Valentine.", I whispered.
Zuko nodded. "So, does that mean yes?", he asked.
"Let's go all the way tonight. No regrets, just love.", I answered. He smiled at me.
Then Zuko went over to his band and told them to tell the audience good night. He said that he had to take me home (which was a lie, but no one noticed at the time). Sokka didn't exactly agree with this but in the end said 'Fine, go'. With that answer me and Zuko left the club.
Then Zuko and I rented a motel room and well, the rest you can figure out.
