Previously on Love, Joy, and Jealousy-

"Hey guys. Who else here thinks Mrs. Wu is on crack?"

"She just made me Juliet."

Now showing 1-10 of 83,600...

"Great."


"Romeo, o Romeo, Wherefore art thou, Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a Capulet… Okay Sokka this is getting awkward."

"Come on Zuko! More feeling! I really need help."

"Mental help…" He grumbled.

"Please! I really need to get that part!" Sokka pleaded from across the lunch table.

"What part?" Teo sat down next to Zuko.

"He wants to be Romeo."

"Why?"

"Juliet, of course."

"Who's Juliet?"

"Top-" Sokka slammed a hand over Zuko's mouth.

"Toph? Wow. I didn't think that was her thing."

"Yeah, well since Zuko is a lazy bum, I'm going to try and practice elsewhere." Sokka stalked off looking intently at his script and practicing.

"What light through yonder window breaks?!" He walked right into a trashcan (like on Mean Girls).

"He doesn't like me does he?"

"Not in the slightest. It's only because you like Toph too." Teo was blushing madly.

"I do no-… fine. But you know what this means, don't you?" He started walking away.

"Going to get a script?" Zuko saw him nod as he turned the corner, passing the now glaring Sokka.


"Katara?... There is absolutely no need for this. I did this play in, like, 4th grade… I know what happens… Of course, I know the lines… You really don't have to help me… No, I don't know who's trying out… WHAT?!… No, no, no!! I can't kiss HIM!! … ……What?…. No… I don't believe this!!… BOTH OF THEM?!… They know… how'd they find out?! No one said anything!! Did you say something?!… no, I trust you… Ugh. I gonna have to talk to them… Bye Katara." That was a very successful conversation. My phone beeped and I looked at the screen. One new text message. I pressed select, and behold! A text from one of the idiots!

'Could hear Tara yelling. Wut up?' Mindless idiotic fool! My 'Qwerty' keypad was sure to break from the pressure I delivered it.

'idk Romeo.' Ha. That outta teach you. It vibrated again.

'Wut's up, Toph?' The other idiot. Oh great.

'nothing, Romeo.' There. Now their simple minds can figure it out at the same time. Another buzz.

'idk wut ur tlkin bout.' You can't lie, Sokka.

'Don't lie. Tara told me, u & Teo were auditioning. Surrender now.' As soon as I hit the send button, the phone rang.

"Hello… Song?! What's wrong?… no way… he said what?… oh, I'm so sorry… don't be sad about it okay… oh don't worry, we'll get payback… We have P.E. tomorrow… I heard we play crossfire… Exactly… No problem, Song. I'll see you 1st period, okay?…Alright bye." As soon as I put the phone down, it vibrated.

'k, u caught me. I like the play.' Teo… at least he didn't deny it.

'Pull out now or you'll have a very angry Juliet.' Sokka replied after about a minute.

'Never.' I was about to fume when another text was replied.

'No.' That's it! You both are stupid!

'You guys are jerks!' As soon as I hit send, I knew I blew it.


A/N: This chapter gave me some heart ache… that's why it's so late… and I have to retake my algebra test… so yeah… And FYI, Song was dating, BUM BUM BUM!! Sangok! you know him as Pupil Sangok from Seige of the North… I think…! New chapter will be quick! Or late... Hmmmnn...

and BTW, my friends are really like that on the phone. I mean seriously, we have short most of teh time meaningless conversations...


Peer into the future chapter… edit

"And the dashing lead role of Romeo goes to…"

"No. Way."

The tower --can't give you the rest.
