Here it Goes Again

Age 7

It could be ten, but then again, I can't remember half an hour since a quarter to four.

Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa, and you leave me with my jaw on the floor.

Hey!

"1…2…10…"

"Zuko! Count right!"

"Fine. 1…2…3…4…" 44 seconds later. "48…49...50! Ready or not here I come!"

Just when you think you're in control,

Just when you think you've got a hold,

Just when you get on a roll.

"Aang! Get out of my way!"

"Ow! Watch it!"

"Sokka! Be nice!"

"No way! I'm gonna win."

"Not if I hide better."

"Toph, you're blind! How are you even going to find somewhere to hide?"

"You'll see. Zuko's never going to find me!"

Oh here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.

Oh, here it goes again.

I should have known,

Should have known,

Should have known again,

But here it goes again.

Oh, here it goes again.

Zuko wandered around the Beifong's mansion, looking everywhere for his friends. The first place he started was the kitchen. He opened random cupboards but no one was hiding with the flour.

"ACHOO!" someone in the kitchen sneezed. Zuko ran over to the pantry and opening it found Katara, rubbing her nose.

"Found you!"

It starts out easy, something simple, something sleazy, something inching past the edge of reserve.

Now through the lines of the cheap Venetian blinds your car is pulling off of the curb.

Hey!

"You will tell me where he is."

"I will not."

After half an hour of fruitless searching, Zuko had resorted to desperate measures to find Aang, Toph and Sokka. So he tied Katara to a tree.

"I need to find Aang!"

She stuck out her tongue, "Well why don't you try LOOKING FOR HIM!?"

Just when you think you're in control,

Just when you think you've got a hold,

Just when you get on a roll,

Oh, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.

Oh, here it goes again.

"Fine then." He walked away. Katara stood there for a moment, her chest heaving from her yell.

"Is it safe?" a voice asked. Aang's head popped out of the leaves, looking down at Katara as he hung from the branch.

"No, stay Aang. I can't wait to see the look on his face."

I should have known, should have known,

Should have known again,

But here it goes again.

Oh, here it goes.

Oh, here it goes.

Oh, here it goes again.

Oh, here it goes again.

"Toph! What are you doing in here?" Sokka had just opened a random closet to find Toph nestled at the bottom, her blind eyes reflecting the hall's light.

"I'm hiding stupid. Now go away or else Zuko will find me."

"No! I'm hiding here to!" Sokka attempted to squeeze in beside Toph but she stood up and using her full weight pushed him out, knocking him flat on his bum.

Oh oh

Oh, here it goes

Yeah, oh here it goes again.

Hey, hey

Oh, here it goes.

All right!

"Sokka! Toph! Help!" Katara scream stopped the fight short.

"Katara?" Sokka asked standin up. "Don't worry sis I'm coming!" he took off down the hallway but stopped at the end.

"Yeah, yeah I'm comin'." Toph ran after him. They barrelled down the stair, out the backdoor and into the sunlit backyard.

"Zuko, ha-ha, s-sto-p i-it!" Katara giggle/shrieked. He was tickling, obvious at the end of his line.

"Tell me where he is!"

"Hey you!" Sokka said, puffing out his chest. "Let my sister go!"

I guess there's got to be a break in the monotony, but Jesus, when it rains how it pours.

Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa, and you leave me, yeah, you leave me.

"Make me!" Zuko dared as he turned to face Sokka and Toph.

Sokka bent low and whispered in Toph's ear, "Do you have a plan?"

"Yeah. I'll handle Zuko, you get Katara." She took a few steps towards Zuko. "Hey Zu-zu, betcha can't catch me."

The challenge was accepted immediately. Zuko tore after her, ignoring the fact that Sokka was tiptoeing towards his sister. "I'm gonna getcha Toph!"

Oh, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.

Oh here it goes again.

I should have known, should have known,

Should have known again,

But here it goes again.

Oh, here it goes, here it goes.

Oh here it goes again.

Toph slowed down and Zuko, thinking she was tired, put on a spurt of speed. Toph stopped quickly, jumping to the side and stuck out her left foot. Zuko's feet caught it and he tripped, unfortunately, he was going so fast he started to take Toph with him. Even more unfortunately Katara and Sokka happened to be passing in front of them. The Four fell into a huge pile, all squirming, pushing and yelling in outrage.

I should have known, should have known,

But here it goes again.

Oh here it, Oh here it, Oh here it, Oh here it, Oh here it goes

I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have known

Oh, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.

"I guess I win then." Aang said, climbing down from the tree.

Oh here it goes again.

Oh, here it goes again.
