A Night at the Theater

After an hour of questioning, and half an hour of getting lost, she found herself at the Ember Island Theater, a delightful looking theater that the Ember Islanders watched every night, though it was probably because it was the only night-time entertainment available on the island. The one that Serra was supposed to watch was called "The Boy in the Iceberg", but judging by the poster, it looked more like "The Girl in the Iceberg".

Who puts makeup on a boy anyway? Either the Avatar was gay (which Serra had deeply wished was not so), or the poster painter was as artistic as a blind monkey. It also looked like the Avatar had a rather tacky blue arrow tattooed onto his bald head, and he looked no older than she was.

She prayed this was due to the painter's aforementioned artistic retardation.

She had arrived a few minutes before it began, it seemed. She thanked God for his mad timing skillz, and she went inside.

It wasn't any different from the theaters that Serra had entered before, it still followed a format she was used to…snack bar outside, massive amphitheater past the double doors. The theater was filling up quite quickly, and Serra opted for a seat closer to the doors.

And then the play began.

Apparently, The Avatar was a 12 year-old (A source of grief for Serra, who looked 13) Airbender, named Aang. She was still deeply confused about Aang's gender though. Then the First Act introduced Katara, a rather pudgy gal who seemed to exist only to give utterly pointless speeches about hope, even when they weren't needed. Then she saw Sokka, who appeared to have been a black hole given flesh, with his neverending hunger and constant food puns. Then Zuko arrived, who seemed to have no purpose in life but to find honor, as well as his uncle Iroh, who had an odd obsession with cake. The First Act ended with Aang pretty much going into a genocidal rage, killing every Fire Nation Ship within reach as a koi-fish monster…thing. Zuko got whooped, and the gang escaped.

The Second Act was to begin in a few minutes, so Serra decided to take a short nap…
