The Golden Dragon Dance

Please reply! Sorry, this chapter isn't very good. I've only been to one school dance. Next chapter, I promise, you will love. I'm not saying why, though... Note: You will see what happens to Kya while she tries to dance to "Soulja Boy", and that is really what happened to me! It was so embaressing! (Alot happened at my first school dance... such as being locked in the locker room for nearly half the dance.)

Dedications:

ibroughthomeababybumblebee: Yes, Aunt Wu is not allowing Aang and Katara to kiss until the live performance... More on that next chapter...

Aangsgirl: LOL, I'm glad you liked it!

AvatarAiris: You will find out soon...

hpswst101: If you go to You Tube and type in: "west side story avatar" it is the first vid. It was LOL!

G-G: I'm glad you like it! It took a long time for me to combine the worlds.

HeartAngel: They will find out who it is in a few chapters... :)

timisnotmyname: Thank you agian for all the critic! (Is that how you spell it?) Anyway, thank you for correcting the lyrics for me! I will have to go change that... I know that it wasn't that much of an exageration, but remember, it's only been news for about 5 minutes. Thank you, though! I know I put "I won!" in about five times, thank you for telling me what you thought about it! I will make these changes soon, I promise!

Disclaimer: No matter how many times I say it, the answer it the same: I do not own Avatar or West Side Story, so stop rubbing it in my face! -sob- But wait... I do own EBBA!! Yay! -party-


Sokka's POV

I walk into the lounge to meet up with Quin Lee, and everybody is crowded around the Announcements Board. I walk over to it. I make my way to the front, and I scan the board for the new notice.

West Side Story Preforms Next Week, 10/01, in the Auditorium

Congrats to all winners!

Then, I found the new announcement:

THE GOLDEN DRAGON DANCE IS THIS FRIDAY IN THE GYM!! DON'T MISS IT!! This year is a special year, because THE GIRLS ASK THE GUYS!!

I gulp. Will anyone ask me? And who will Katara ask?

I run back up to my dorm. "Zuko!" I say as I run into the room.

"Yeah?" He asks, without even looking up from his studying.

"This year's dance is where GIRLS ASK GUYS!" I yell.

Zuko's jaw drops. "What am I going to do? No one's going to ask me!" He says.

"I'm gonna go tell the girls," I say, running across the hall. I walk in their room and burst out, "The dance is this Friday, and it is the type where the girls ask the guys!"

"Wow," Katara says. "Sounds like fun. Are you going, Toph?"

"I have nothing better to do," She say in an aloof attitude.

"What about you, Kya?" Katara asks.

"Probably, though I don't know who I'd like to ask..." Kya says, trailing off.

"Well...uh... I gotta go," I say awkardly. I can see that they are just itching for me to leave the room. I walk out of the room and close the door.


Toph's POV

As soon as I feel Sokka close the door across the hall, I say, "All clear!"

Katara and Kya automaticly begin to discuss who they are going to ask, while I lay down on my bed. Sugar Queen was going to ask Twinkle Toes, and Drummer Girl was going to go with a group of friends.

"What about you, Toph?" Katara asks teasingly. "Are you going to ask Sokka?"

That got my attention. I sat up quickly and said, "No!"

It wasn't too convincing.

"I can tell you're lying!" Katara says in a sing-song voice. "Why don't you ask him? Just as friends."

"I don't sound like that!" I deny. "And I won't ask him."

"I dare you!" Kya says.

I groan. "Do I have to?" I ask.

"Yes!" She says. I nearly scream "YES!!" too. I wanted to ask Sokka, but I didn't want everyone to think that I liked him. 'Cause I don't... I think.

"Fine, I'm going over to his room right now and asking him," I say. I walk across the hall and bang on Sokka's dorm room door. Sokka opens the door.

"Yes?" He asks.

"You wanna go to the dance with me? Just as friends?" I asked. I can't believe I'm doing this...

I felt his heart rate speed up. Alot. "Uh... Sure!" He replied. I could tell he was really excited.

"Okay, then, see you there, Snoozles," I say. I punch his arm, and walk back into my room.


Sokka's POV

I walk back into the room, really confused.

"Who was it?" Zuko asked.

"Toph..." I say. "She wanted to go to the dance with me..."

Zuko burst out laughing. He was laughing for about thirty seconds until he finally stopped.

"What?" I ask, annoyed.

"You... and Toph?" Zuko asks again. He bursts out laughing for a second time.

"Would to like to tell me what's so funny?" I ask dryly.

"I never thought that you two would end up together..." He says, going into another laughing fit.

"Hey, we're going just as friends!" I say. I think...


Hour Before the Dance, Katara's POV

"I hear that the dance is informal," Kya says. "I'm just gonna wear jeans and a band tee-shirt. What about you, Toph?"

"Well, I was hoping that Katara could tell me what matches because I won't be able to see my clothes in the first place," Toph says.

"I'm probaly just going to wear jeans too," I say. "I don't want to stand out."

I pulled out a blue shirt that had the water sign on it and said, "Will Waterbend if Provoked" and a pair of slightly tight jeans.

"I'm gonna go change," Kya said.

I turn to Toph. "What are you going to wear?"

"Could you help me pick something out? I don't know if what I'm wearing matches," She said.

"Oh, right," I say, slightly flustered. She just told me that, and I already forgot. I pull out a pair of her jeans and a green shirt that said "iRock".

"Okay, is this good?" I ask, holding the outfit towards her.

She feels it, and says, "Perfect." She walks out of the room to change. Then, Kya walks in. She is wearing jeans and a brown shirt that had a music staff on it.

"I can't wait for tonight," She says. "It's gonna be fun."

"Yeah..." I say, trailing off.


At the Gym, Katara's POV

I stand in front of the Gym, waiting for Aang. I remember how I asked him:

Flashback

"There's Aang!" Kya said. "Now's you chance! Do it!"

"Hey, Aang?" I ask. "Will you... uh... um... Maybe, go to the dance with me?"

At first, I didn't believe that I just said that. Then, Aang says, "Sure!"

And he walks away. I didn't know what to think.

Now, waiting in front of the building, I still don't know what to think. I see Aang walking towards me. I smile, and he smiles back.

"Hi!" He says cheerfully.

"Hi!" I reply. "So... Wanna go in?"

"That's what I'm here for!" He says jokingly.

I smile, and walk inside. Inside is decorated with flashy streamers and the lights are dimmed down. A DJ set up in one corner, and snacks were at the other end of the building. People were already dancing to "Soulja Boy". Aang and I just look at each other.

"Uh..." We both say.

"Look, there's Kya!" I say, pointing to a figure surrounded by a bunch of people. They seem to be joking with her. They shove her lightly, and she smiles. She goes out to the dance floor, and tries to dance to the song.

Note the word "Tries".

She criss-crosses, then incidentally kicks her shin. All the girls in the group burst out laughing, and Kya is laughing while limping back to the group.

Aang and I look at each other, and burst out laughing ourselves. We get out on the dance floor, and dance.

After the Dance

We all laugh as we share memories from the dance.

"I kicked my shin, and hard!" Kya exclaims laughing, referring to her attempt to dance to "Soulja Boy".

Everyone in the room laughs, and it takes several moments for everyone to quiet down.

"Did you see what Hahn did to Azula?" Sokka asks. "He was bringing her some punch, and he tripped, and got the red punch all over her white shirt."

We all snicker at the thought of Azula's reaction. "She must have freaked," Toph said.

"She did. She stormed out of the Gym," Sokka replies.

"Suki was locked in the bathroom for at least thirty minutes," Zuko says. "She told me she would be right back, and then, thirty minutes later, she comes up to me and tells me that she was locked in the backstage bathroom!"

Once again, we laugh.

"Ouch," I say. "It must have gotten really hot in there, with no AC."

"Yeah," Zuko said. "She was really sweaty when she came out, and she had to break down the door to get out of the restroom."

We all laugh again. The rest of the night is like this, laughing, sharing memories and having fun, until about eleven at night. Then we go to our separate dorms, and fall asleep.
