Chapter 7: Shut Up!
"Hey! It's me again! I'm gonna sing a song that goes out to Azula and how everybody now feels about her," I said into the mic with a smirk. I saw Azula's eyes noticeably widen when I announced it was about her, but the crowd cheered at the announcement and glared and booed at Azula. This just made her even more angry, so her and her bodyguards started moving even faster towards the stage.
I smirked again. 'This is going even better than I thought it would.'
I turned to the band and nodded, signaling that I was ready to start singing.
The band started playing and I joined in singing:
'Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled
She really must have had everyone fooled that she was a nice rich girl, but now look at this crowd booing at her.
Look here she comes now
I point at Azula who's almost made it onto the stage with the help of her bodyguards lifting her up onto it.
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
Azula's now on the stage. She looks like she's about to kill someone. That someone would be me.
Without the mask, where will you hide?
Can't find yourself lost in your lie
I now march up to Azula and point to her as I sing the next part:
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore
Azula looked shocked as I sang that, but that quickly turned into rage. "How dare you peasant!" she screeched at me, but I ignored her and went on singing.
It Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool.'
As the song finishes, the crowd goes berserk with tons of cheers and shouts. I smirked for what must have been the tenth time that night as I told Azula, "The tables have turned, now your everybody's fool. How does it feel?"
"You'll pay for this! All of you will pay!" Azula yelled at me and the band.
"I don't think so Azula," Zuko said.
She wiped her head in his direction and glared a piercing glare. "Oh yeah? Who's gonna stop me, Zuzu? You? Ha! Don't make me laugh!"
Zuko just smirked an evil, knowing, smirk (that reminded me a little to much of Toph, she always smirks like that when she's about to get revenge on someone for thinking she's a defenseless blind girl).
"The nights not over yet Azula and I still have one more song to sing."
Her glare became even more piercing. "You wouldn't dare," she said in the most scariest, threatening tone I'd ever heard from anyone in my life.
"Try me," Zuko said.
Azula looked shocked by this. I guess not to many people disobey her or dare to. So, before she had the chance to recover from her shock the band started playing. Zuko had put down his guitar and I had picked up my own, so that means he'll just be singing to his darling little sister.
Zuko sang:
'There you go
He pointed to Azula while she just stood there looking pissed off.
You're always so right
It's all a big show
Zuko did jazz hands for 'big show'. I cracked a smile at that.
It's all about you
You think you know
What everyone needs
You always take time
To criticize me
Zuko pointed to himself for that part and this next part as he slowly walked over to his sister.
It seems like everyday
I make mistakes
I just can't get it right
It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today
Zuko got right up into her face and sang the next part.
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Zuko covered his ear like he really didn't want to hear it while the other hand held the mic. By this time, he was now standing a safe distance from her.
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Zuko pushed pass Azula, this caused her to stumble a bit.
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Azula had now regained her footing and threw a punch at Zuko. He dogged it and sidestepped the kick she then sent his way. She threw another punch at him, but this time Zuko caught it and pushed her backwards. This caused her to take a few steps back.
"I'll kill you!" she screamed at him.
Zuko only smirked at her aggravation while he pointed to her and sang the next part.
There you go
You never ask why
It's all a big lie
Whatever you do
You think you're special
But I know, and I know
With each 'I know' the closer Zuko got to her.
And I know, and we know
That you're not
Zuko did a thumbs down sign for the 'you're not' line.
You're always there to point
Out my mistakes
He pointed to himself again.
And shove them in my face
He pretended he was shoving something in her face. Azula swatted his hand away.
It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Azula threw yet another punch at her brother. He ducked and avoided it.
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Zuko pushed pass her again, this made Azula growl at him.
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Azula tried stepping on his foot with her high heel, but Zuko saw it coming and moved his foot out of the way.
Is gonna bring me down
Will never bring me down
Azula tried to throw another punch, but Zuko caught it just like before. This time though, he held onto it. Azula was shocked.
Don't tell me who I should be
A look of disbelief crossed Azula's features.
And don't try to tell me what's right for me
Don't tell me what I should do
I don't wanna waste my time
I'll watch you fade away
Zuko pushed Azula backwards again, and this time it made her fall over and land on her butt.
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
He sang right in her face again.
Get out, get out, get out
Zuko sang pointing to the exit off to stage right.
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
He gestured for Azula to get up on her feet.
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
He pointed down at the ground. Azula just starred up with more shock and disbelief as he sang, the crowd cheering him on.
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Bring me down
{shut up, shut up, shut up}
Won't bring me down
{shut up, shut up, shut up}
Bring me down
{shut up, shut up, shut up}
Won't bring me down
Shut up, shut up, shut up.'
The audience went even more wild and crazy than they had for me, but I couldn't blame them because the song ROCKED!
Zuko walked away from his sister who was still on the ground in pure shock that would soon turn into pure rage. Everyone else in our little band ran up and gave him a high five or a hug while saying how great the song was. Instead of doing that, I waited for everyone to get done with congratulating him then I ran up and hugged him myself.
"You did great!" I told him.
"T-thanks," he said as he blushed at the close contact. I couldn't help but think how adorable he looked when he blushed. Then without thinking, I kissed him on the cheek, the scarred cheek. His eyes widened and I could feel the blush rising to my cheeks. I quickly let go of him and took a step back. Zuko raised a hand to where I had kissed him, kind of like what you see in movies.
Out of the corn of my eye I could see Toph smirking that annoying smirk of hers and nodding in approval.
"I-" I started to say. Then a big loud "BOOM!" interrupted what I was going to be said.
A.N.
Sorry, I forgot to tell you who the songs where by.
The song Katara sang was 'Everybody's Fool' by Evanescence.
The song Zuko sang was 'Shut Up!' by Simple Plan.
