Baby Girl
When I left my parents to help Aang master earthbending, I thought it would be a blast. I thought we would eat what ever we wanted and stay up all night long. I thought I could earth bend anywhere I wanted. We laid would lay out under the stars, Katara would try to describe them, but I never full understood it. In reality, every once in a while I find my thoughts drifting to my home with my parents. When I think of that house and all the good memories I have of it, I shed a few tears.
They say in this town, stars stay up all night,
Well, I don't know, can't see 'em for the glow of the neon lights.
An' it's a long way from here to the place where the home fires burn.
Well it's two thousand miles and one left turn.
When I asked Katara to help me write a letter to my parents. I could not sum up all of my emotions so they could all fit on that one page. I bet Katara had to rip up many pieces of paper to make my thoughts seem good on the page. I wanted to tell them about teaching Aang and all the villans we have had to fight. I wanted them to realize I am working to achieve our dream. The dream of seeing a world at peace. I had Katara say that I was working to make peace and when I was finish I would return. I had her also through in we were shit broke and needed money.
"Dear Mom and Dad,
"Please send money: I'm so broke that it ain't funny.
"Well, I don't need much; just enough to get me through.
"Please don't worry 'cause I'm all right,
"I'm playin' here at the bar tonight.
"Well, this time, I'm gonna make our dreams come true.
"Well, I love you more than anything in the world,
"Love,
"Your baby girl."
Each town we visit is always different from the others. The people in the last town we visited all acted like you best friend, then five minutes later their was a rumor spread about you. Everyone said that Katara had a bubble butt and Sokka was a bloody genius. Every one respected Aang and no rumors were spread, but the one about me made me laugh. Everyone said that I was Aang's hot-ass girlfriend. When Twinkle toes heard that I felt the blood rush to his face and I could tell he was red.
Black jack, blue sky: big town full of little white lies.
Well, everybody's your friend: you can never be sure.
They'll promise fancy cars an' diamond rings, an' all sorts of shiny things,
But, girl, you'll remember what your knees are for.
"Dear Mom and Dad,
"Please send money: I'm so broke that it ain't funny.
"Well, I don't need much; just enough to get me through.
"Please don't worry 'cause I'm all right,
"See, I'm playin' here at the bar tonight."Well, this time, I'm gonna make our dreams come true.
"Well, I love you more than anything in the world,
"Love,
"Your baby girl."
When Zuko joined the group and started teaching twinkletoes, I could tell that we were really going to kick Ozai's ass. Aang learned his fire bending faster than I could imagine. His earthbending quickly improved. Everyone started to train and create different attack methods. When Sparky unveiled Ozai's plan for the day of the comet, I felt the color drain from my face. My parents lived in the earth kingdom and he planned on burning it to the ground. I began to train like crazy, there was no way that bastard was going to kill my parents.
I know that I'm on my way.
Well, I can tell every time I play.
An' I know it's worth all the dues I pay,
When I can write to you and say:
After the end of the War, Sparky offered me a position as Earth kingdom ambassador. I took it with out a second thought. Even though I would miss my parents, the past couple months have made the separation easy. When I have someone write to them for me I can see my emotions and thoughts have really changed.
"Dear Mom and Dad,
"I'll send money. I'm so rich that it ain't funny.
"Well it oughtta be more than enough to get you through.
"Please don't worry 'cause I'm all right,
"See, I'm stayin' here at the Ritz tonight
"Whaddya know, we made our dreams come true.
"An' there are fancy cars an' diamond rings,
"But you know that they don't mean a thing.
"Well, they all add up to nothin' compared to you.
"Well, remember me in ribbons an' curls.
"I still love you more than anything in the world:
"Love,
"Your baby girl."
So now the world is at peace and I am happier than ever. Katara and Zuko surprised everyone when they got engaged. I thought Aang would be upset, but I have to admitt I was jealous about how much he liked Katara. Then when he asked to court me, I felt something inside me snap. This war had given me a lot, friends, family, a job, a new boyfriend, and finally peace. I guess dreams do come true.
Ah yeah.
Your baby girl.
