Rocky Horror Fire Show

For #18: "Never thought I'd be saying this."

---

Ozai wasn't a patient man, nor one for dealing with the mind games of insane men. He tried to keep a level head and deal with problems that tested these traits with poise. He tried to keep calm. So when his daughter sent to him an old man locked in a metal cage with the eyes of a madman, he almost lost control.

He'd heard stories that this man was crazy, and one had to be very patient with him. Ozai grimaced. He wasn't looking forward to this talk.

"So, you are Bumi, King of Omashu?" he stated. He decided Bumi's cage was more of a sarcophagus, or coffin. Fitting, he thought.

"Nope," Bumi laughed. The fire lord stopped cold. He wasn't expecting that.

"Well, then who are you?"

Bumi laughed again, with a snort added in this time, much to Ozai's annoyance. "Rocky."

This banter went on for over an hour. Neither one would back down; Ozai out of stubbornness and Bumi out of, well, Bumi-ness. The Fire Lord's patience had been worn thin, and he was seriously thinking of just burning the man alive. He knew better of it though.

Sighing, Ozai rubbed his forehead as Bumi began talking about something strange. I'm beginning to miss that traitor son of mine. He stopped again. Almost, he added very slowly.

"Hey sonny, I got a blister the size of a badgermole on my back. Care to help an old man out?"

I was thinking of doing a Sokka x Suki or something for this, but I watched Return to Omashu today and I couldn't help myself. Hope it's not too "out there."

And it has absolutely nothing to do with the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Rocky was what Sokka wanted to call Bumi in King of Omashu, and the horror and fire and….either you get or ya don't lol
