Katara loved the way Zuko did his hair these days, just like Aang loved Toph's green robes…
Hehe just tricking…anyway on with the Story.
When Acting Isn't Acting
"So plan guy? You got a plan?" Katara asked her brother.
The Gang had come across a problem in getting Appa back. They had found that a man named Jangsu a play write/director in Ba Sing Se would have information as to where Appa would be. The problem was he only associated with people within the acting community; he believed anyone who did not sport in theatre was not worth his valuable time and effort.
"No the guys a loon, I mean you're the avatar you would think he would have time for you of all people" Sokka exclaimed.
"Yeah but his assistant said he wouldn't see me, and he is busy holding interviews anyhow" Aang stated.
They all sat outside the theatre thinking of ways of which they would be able to converse with Jangsu. Katara paced up and down the path, Toph was kicking a rock around, Aang sat with his legs crossed on a low wall and Sokka sat on the floor constantly rubbing his chin and saying "hmmmmm" and "I wonder".
"What if we just busted the wall down, and forced him to talk?" Toph suggested.
"No, we can't make a scene that freaky ninja squad is watching our every move" Sokka reminded.
"The Dai Li" Katara corrected him.
"Yeah same diff"
"Right" Toph said "Well other than that I'm way out of ideas"
"We need something completely structured, and completely innocent" Katara informed.
"Last call for Oma and Shu" A tall man out front of the theatre shouted.
"Well I think I might have an idea" Katara said "Can you act Toph?"
"Nope, I can't read so scripts are kinda beyond me" She replied.
"Oh right sorry, Well then it's me and…"
She looked between Aang and Sokka, knowing the story of Oma and Shu, she didn't think she was a good enough actress to pretend to be in love with her own flesh and blood, so she immediately chose Aang.
"Aang"
"10 minutes until auditions close" The tall man called again.
"Wait what's going on?" Sokka asked.
Katara just ignored him "Aang you and I are auditioning for the play, put this hat on"
He did as he was told and put the hat on "Ok so I'm auditioning for Shu right?"
"No I was thinking I would play Shu, seeing as we obviously look so much alike" She joked.
"Oh ha ha yeah…right"
Katara smiled at him assuring him it was just a playful joke and he beamed back, she went over the plan in her head, and immediately blushed.
"Aang hold my hand"
"What why?"
"We have to show we already have chemistry, it'll give us better chances of getting the part"
"Do we?"
"Do we what?" She asked.
"Have chemistry" he said.
Katara blushed a deep red. She could feel Toph's and Sokka's eyes on her waiting vulture like for the reply. She didn't know what to say, so she thought it would be best not to give a direct answer.
And she simply said "What do you think?"
Aang took her hand, and they walked towards the theatre.
"See you guys a little later" Katara called back to Toph and Sokka, Aang waved.
"Good luck" Toph called back.
"Aww young love; they are growing up so fast" Sokka squealed in a mocking voice.
"There not the only ones"
"What do you mean?" he asked her.
"Don't think I didn't know about that kiss, sure I didn't see it but I felt it" She teased.
"Oh yeah" Sokka blushed and then suddenly remembered something said "Well maybe we could swap stories about kissing Suki, so out of a ten what would you give her?" He teased back.
Toph blushed "Shut it Snoozels" and she bended Sokka high into the air, then walked away with Momo on her shoulder.
"Hey Toph wait up he called"
Later in the waiting room a water bender girl and an air bender boy could be seen sitting waiting for there call.
"So was that a yes?" Aang asked.
"Huh?" Katara replied oblivious to what he was asking.
"When you said what do you think? Was that a yes?" he asked again.
Katara knew the answer like she knew the back of her hand 'YES', but why was she so afraid to tell him?
"Well personally I think we do" He said bravely with his signature grin.
"Me too" She replied with a smile, they both sat there gazing at each other, a gaze which was only broken with a
"67, 68 your up" the tall man called.
Aang and Katara, slowly got out of their seats and headed for the large door with the words 'Acting, Is life' engraved on it. They looked at each other with an expression that was only recognized as the 'weirdo's' look. Thy opened the door to find a row of five people before them, the one sitting in the middle was obviously the director Jangsu.
"Please sit" Jangsu pointed to the seat.
"Your profile says your names are Katara and Aang, Is that correct?" A lady down the left end of the bench asked.
"Yes" Katara and Aang replied in union.
"Well please let me introduce everyone" Jangsu said.
"This is Hui Ying the financial advisor, Chuang-Mu the props director, I'm the Director slash Play write, that's Lu Pan the Co writer and last but not least that is Chang the lighting and sound director.
Each of them stood and smiled when they were referred to, Katara and Aang bowed to each one and once introduced sat down.
"So seeing as you are interviewing as a couple, may I inquire your relationship?" Jangsu asked.
"You may" Aang replied.
"Aang and I are an item" Katara half lied.
"We are" he smiled.
"I see I see" Jangsu wrote at his desk "And how long have you known each other?"
"For a few months" Katara informed.
"Have you been romantically involved for that long?" he continued to inquire.
Aang was having a bit of fun and said "It was love at first sight"
Katara was taken aback but happily nodded "It sure was"
"Well, you seem to fit the characters and already being in love will make your connection on stage stronger when doing the kiss scene and what not" Lu Pan commented.
"Indeed" Jangsu agreed.
Aang blushed in sync with Katara.
"Although this is true I need you to perform for me a scene and I will decided if you are suited, I cant have some mediocre actors in my play, so here are the scripts and I would like you to recite scene four The Confession" Jangsu said while Chuang-Mu handed them the scripts.
Aang gulped in a huge breath of air and flicked to the page which Katara had already found, they both read through the script.
"When ever your ready Katara" Aang said.
"Ok" Katara breathed in and out "Shu, your late"
"Well of course I'm late, the volcano is quite a while away" Aang said.
"Why on earth were you at the volcano?"
"Well it's the only place, I knew I could find one of these" Aang pretended to pull out a Flower from behind his back.
"Oh a Panda Lily its beautiful…Shu? Why would you do this?" Katara asked in an innocent voice.
"Well everyday I climb this mountain and come across a girl who's beauty by far exceeds any of the women in my village, And everyday I climb this mountain and seem to run into the girl that has stolen my heart…And if this girl gave it back, I know it would be much worse than having to climb this mountain everyday just to see her" Aang read trying desperately to fill the part.
Katara was half believing what Aang had said, and then remembering he wasn't Aang and She wasn't Katara was quite disappointed. "The only way you will ever possibly get it back is if you make a trade with the one you have stolen from me, and even still I would be saddened to get mine back and no longer keep yours"
Just as Aang stepped in closer to Katara, following the scripts directions ready to kiss her, and wanting to all the same the small audience began to clap.
"Wonderful, absolutely splendid!" Jangsu exclaimed.
"Thank you" Katara said. Aang bowed.
"So did we get the part?" Aang asked hopefully.
"Tut tut tut, if you wish to know the conclusion of my decision you will have to wait like all the others that auditioned" Jangsu laughed.
All the members along the bench were smiling two of which winked and one gave the thumbs up.
"Thank you for your time" Aang bowed as did Katara and they left hand in hand.
"Yes" Jangsu replied.
Once Katara and Aang were out of the building, they started to laugh.
"Oh my goodness, that was Amazing" Katara squealed.
"Yeah I had no idea you could act, not that I'm surprised" Aang complemented.
"And we pulled it off! Almost convinced me hah!" Katara laughed.
"It was surprisingly really fun, I totally forgot why we were doing it"
"Me too, hey Aang? if we get the part could we do the play? After we find Appa of course"
"Sure why not I mean we obviously have the connection, although there's still bending I'll just have to work extra hard wont I?" Aang smiled and then realized they were still holding hands and he let go.
"Sorry" he said and blushed a matching shade to her.
"Don't be" she replied.
"Well I think it will take a few days to get the results back and then another few to get him to warm up to us, so what do you want to do in the mean time?" Aang asked.
"Hmmm, Sokka and Toph wont be expecting us for a while do you want to do something now?" Katara asked.
"Yeah" he said almost too exuberantly.
"But what to do?"
"I think I have an idea" he said grabbed her hand giving her no choice but to follow.
