I wrote this a few years ago after a silly conversation with Chaka and Crystle from Kataang Forever, and yes, Rent was involved. XD Hope you like it. All comments appreciated.

Light My Candle?
Zuko was walking down a wide hallway in the Fire Palace when he saw a row of wide white candles in a trough of sand; a trough of water was on the other side, esthetically balancing the candles. He looked. Then he smiled, lined up on one end, and punched. One stream of fire lit all the candles. He grinned and walked away.
A while later Aang came from the other side. He saw the candles... and frowned. He lined up on the other side, reared back, and brought forth his arm, palm out. A gust of wind blew out all the candles. He smiled, and went on his way.
Some time after that, Zuko came back—and saw the candles weren't lit. He frowned, went to the other end, and punched. That relit the candles. He smiled, and left.
Aang came back. The candles were lit. He frowned. He lined up and waved. Air blew out the candles again. He smiled, and headed on.
Zuko walked through the hallway only to see the candles blown out—again. He growled. One punch later, the candles were lit—again. He left.
A moment later, Aang came through and saw a bunch of lit candles. Again. He wasn't happy. One wave of wind took care of that. He went down the other hallway.
Zuko came by again. Again the candles were blown out. He stomped over to the other end, punched, and lit the candles. He was almost out of the room when Aang happened by again, saw Aang react, and saw Aang blow out the candles. Again.
Beside himself, Zuko went to the other side, punched, and lit the candles. Aang blew them out. He relit them. Aang blew them out. He lit them again. Again Aang snuffed them. He lit them again—
—And spluttered as a wave of water caught him, Aang, and the candles, washing the whole thing down. Katara was standing by the doorway, a perturbed/amused look on her face.
Katara dragged Aang back to their room, and Aang stuck his tongue out at Zuko. Zuko started to steam—literally—until Mai, with a quiet chuckle, gently dragged him away too.
