(Suki POV)
Seven pm at the music room and I'm standing with a tub of water next to me. I look like an idiot! And where is Masuki with Katara? Wait, there's Kya!
"Okay! You got the doughnuts?"
"Check!" Kya giddily brought the box from behind her back.
"What are the doughnuts even for?"
"If we get hungry!" And she stuffs into her mouth while her tan fingers are smudged with frosting.
"KYA!" "Don't worry! It's for Katara too; in case she gets hungry or nervous."
"What's for me?" Katara asked while walking out of the shadows of the night. She looked surprisingly well considering the state she was in this morning. Her hair was its usual curls and went down her back. Masuki and Ty Lee were with her as well.
"GURL! That dress looks great on you!" It was a strapless, sweetheart-neck dress that was a velvet blue on top and slowly became darker at the bottom and finally turned black right above the knee.
"Thanks, Masuki gave it to me and she wanted me to wear it to break into it. I don't know why though."
"Doesn't matter. You still look pretty! Wanna doughnut?" Kya put her hand out and was handing Katara a chocolate glazed doughnut.
"Thanks!" Can't keep chocolate away from your girls, can you?
"Told you she'd want it." Kya whispered into my ear.
"Know-it-all." I sulked and bent down to pick up the tub of water and walk to the stage.
I'm walking, walking, walking, spilling some water What is this water even for? Kya and her "master plans" and I go into the stage and see a HUGE poster that reads:
TONIGHT at 8pm
KATARA AQUAMARINE singing
*pic of Katara*
After her performance is karaoke night.
Sign up with your name and song before 8pm since we cannot have many singers tonight. Curfew is at 10:00pm
Thank you for coming to FOUR NATION HIGH SCHOOL KARAOKE NIGHT.
I have to give it to her. She planned EVERYTHING. Now, where do I put this tub?
(Kya POV)
Okay, we have the doughnuts as snacks, the tub of water for Katara to dip her feet in (She never sings without touching water—swimmers, what can I say?-), make up, and the pretty dress! Now that we got her backstage without her seeing the posters, Ty Lee's putting the make up on now, and Calen will be coming with the guys right before Katara sings. She still thinks that tonight she's just doing girl's night karaoke. It was SO hard to keep her away from Zuko, Calen, and Sokka so she doesn't mention tonight, but then again the entire day she's been moping. I'm glad she's in a better mood now.
"Kay, she's ready." Ty Lee looks at her masterpiece. Not too much eyeshadow. (a/n: I HATE when people put too much make up on) Eyeliner, little mascara, and some lip gloss, but not too shiny. Just perfect!
"Why are you guys doing this? It's just girl's night!" Katara asked, "Are you up to something?"
"No?" I roll back on forth on my heel and toe.
"Whatever. Did you sign me into the—,"
"YES!" I put my hand to stop her from going out. She CANNOT see the posters! Then she won't sing and then Aang won't see her. I know how much she regrets everything. (She told me EVERYTHING the night Sokka drove us back to the dorms.) She just can't admit it to him in words, so what better way than to sing an apology? I'm a MAD genius.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing…" I weakly smile.
"So what song did you pick for me?"
"Don't worry. You'll love it and I'm going to play the piano"
"That'll sound sooo pretty! But, I really don't want to sing. I miss Aang so much."
"Trust me, it'll be better soon."
"Thank you."And she pulls us all into a group hug but is careful not to ruin her makeup. Girly-girl. I'm not that type. I'm more of a jean, T-shirt, and flip-flops kinda girl, but Toph's worse than me. Where is she? Must be sleeping or beating someone up.
Almost time. It's already—
DING DING DING TRING *cell phone text*
Calen 7:50pm: Bringing the guys over now. Is that okay?
Me: That's fine. People are starting to come in already. Oh, and can you guys try not to come in till her song starts. I don't want her backing out once she sees Aang.
Calen: Yeah. No prob
Me:Thank you! I just really want them back together.
Calen: Me too. See ya soon.
Me: Kay! :)
(Sokka POV)
"Hay! Calen! Are we going now?" I ask my bud who's texting someone.
"Yeah. Let's go! Zuko, you coming?" Calen called for Zuko.
"Yeah. I was supposed to meet Mai somewhere, but she had to go home. It's her brother's birthday today. So I can come."
"Great! Let's go!" I scream, "Come on Aang. Cheer up." I pat him on the back and he shows a weak smile back.
"Maybe I shouldn't come." He's having second thoughts on finally going out! I'm going serious (a rare thing that EVER happens with me, so enjoy it.)
"Aang, you need this. I haven't seen you so down since a long time. Come on." I make sure to give him that stare of mine that says: I'm serious. You need this.
"Fine." And the four of us walked out to the stage where karaoke night was starting.
"Yeah," Calen was speaking to someone on the phone, "We're on our way. Bye."
"Who was that?" Zuko asked before I could.
"No one. Come on! People are starting to crowd up and there might not be enough spaces for us!" He pulled at Aang's hand and started running. Sophomores.
"We better catch up."
"Race?"
"Yup. 1. 2." But Zuko already ran. "ZUKO! You go after 3!"
"Sucks for you man."
"Damn it. Wait for me guys!"
(Katara POV)
"Kay. You're up first, Katara! Kill them!" Kya pushed me onstage and there's a pretty big crowd. I mean, it is the only thing you could do on campus tonight. I'm not nervous. Kya gave me the tub of water before this and now that my toes are wet in my flats, I'm fine.
"Okay, everyone. This is the gorgeous Katara singing We Belong Together and with the pretty Kya on piano." Iroh announces as the crowd starts cheering.
"Nice choice." I smirk to Kya as she walks to the piano. She smiles back and points to the door. I look to the door and see Calen waving and Aang right next to him. They just walked in and Aang was trying to go away but Zuko and Sokka came and pulled him in. We had that one moment when both of us were staring at each other and I could see the hurt. I'm sorry Aang. I want you back.
I took the microphone and said, "This is for the one guy who always stands by me. I hurt him, but he's all I want right now. I love you, Aang." (a/n: Aang is a few inches taller than Katara.) The crowd started cheering wildly and I saw a tear fall down his cheek.
Kya started playing.
Ahh ahhh Ahh ahh
I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you so.
I should have held on tight I never shoulda let you go.
I didn't know nothing I was stupid, I was foolish,
I was lying to myself
I could not fathom that I would ever be without your love.
Never imagined I'd be sitting here beside myself.
Cause I didn't know you, 'cause I didn't know me,
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt.
The feeling that I'm feeling now that I don't hear your voice,
Or have your touch and kiss your lips 'cause I don't have a choice
Oh, what I wouldn't give to have you lying by my side
Right here, 'cause baby
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please 'cause
We belong together
Who else am I gon' lean on when times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone 'till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place there ain't nobody better
Oh, baby, baby, we belong together
I can't sleep at night when you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio saying to me
"If you think you're lonely no" wait a minute
This is too deep I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface "I only think of you"
And it's breaking my heart I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm falling apart.
I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things, crying, trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
It ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside
I need you, need you back in my life, baby
When you left I lost a part of me
And it's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
Cause we belong together
Who else am I gon' lean on when times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone till the sun comes up?
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh baby baby we belong together, baby
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please
Cause we belong together
Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough?
Who's gonna talk to me till the sun comes up?
Who's gonna take your place?
There ain't nobody better
Oh baby, baby
We belong together
By now I was crying and letting my soul out into that one song, the crowd was screaming, and Aang walked up onstage.
"I'm sorry." I whisper in his ear as we hug. "I should've known that you would never cheat."
"It's okay. If I were in your place, I would've beaten the guy up."
"I love you Aang." And I kiss him while I hear Kya shouting behind me. His forehead on mine and we stare into each other's eyes and he whispers, "I love you too." That whisper always sends shivers down my back.
"Give it up for Katara and Kya!" Iroh screams from the microphone, "Karaoke night starts now!"
*later on in the night*
(Still Katara's POV)
We were all walking back to our dorms and singing like we were drunk. Except for Sokka. He ate so many doughnuts that any person would think that he was drunk.
"2, 3, 4 Woo hoo! Woo hoo! Woo hoo! Woo hoo! Woo hoo!" Kya randomly started singing.
"My heart knows better than I do myself so I'm gonna let it do all the talking" Suki joined in.
"Woo hoo! Woo hoo!" We all sang.
"Came across a place in the middle of nowhere with a big black horse and a cherry tree." Masuki sang.
"Woo hoo! Woo hoo!"
"I felt a little fear upon my back, I said, 'Don't look back just keep on walking.' " I sang.
This is fun!
"Woo hoo! Woo hoo!"
"And the big black horse it looked this way and said HEY LADY WILL YOU MARRY ME?" Aang did his solo. He's pretty good! And now everyone sang together.
But I said NO NO
NO NO NO NO
I said NO NO
You're not the one for me!
But I said NO NO
NO NO NO NO
I said NO NO
You're not the one for me!
Woo hoo! Woo hoo!
And with that we all sang our way back to the dorms. This dress is getting itchy.
A/N: How sweet! Review please.
