The light of the television illuminated Zuko's face, revealing an extremely determined expression. He was on the edge of the couch, and the edge of insanity. He was watching the finale of his favorite drama, and he could tell something big was going to happen. There had been a writer's strike, so the finale had been postponed for a month. A month. Zuko had had to wait to see who Jessica would marry for a month.

"Oh, Brad... oh, Tim... I, I..."

Zuko held his breath.

"I choose... I choose-"

BAM. Commercial Break.

Zuko stood up, smoke hissing out his ears. "What? You can't do that! I cannot wait any longer! Who's the idiot-"

Katara brought her eyes up from her game of solitaire. "You know Zuko, without commercials, they couldn't make money, and the show wouldn't even exist."

"Why does the television industry even allow this?! It ruins what they create. Advertisers should be more creative, and find other ways to inform the customer. Commercials are the stupidest, most ineffective, idiotic way to advertise! The man who invented the T.V. would be ashamed to see what his brilliant machine is being used for!"

"Zuko... calm down..." Katara said softly.

"Brain washing! That's what it is! once you've seen an ad multiple times, its implanted in your mind whether you like it or not! You'll buy what their selling regardless of the price!!"

"Zuko, I think you might be overreac-"

"It's a government conspiracy! Their slowly warping our minds until we won't do anything that hasn't been done in an advertisement! It's the perfect plan, since nobody except me even cares about commercials! I will be the lone survivor! You guys will become government slaves!"

"Zuko! The show's-"

"I will find every company that has ever had a commercial, and then I will burn them to the ground!" Zuko laughed hysterically.

"Zuko! The show is ba-"

"Then, I will attend the CEO's funeral, and interrupt it! Ha Ha!"

"ZUKO! The show is back on!" Katara shouted, pointing to the T.V.

"And that concludes the finale of Love and Tears, thanks for watching."

Katara plugged her ears.


Author's Note: I hope you enjoyed Zuko's first rant, I will update soon. Please REVIEW with comments, criticism, praise, etc. Oh! And I almost forgot, for all you die hard Kataang people, and all you rabid Zutarians, just because Kataara was the only other character in this chapter, does not mean I do or don't support that pairing.
