Azula got up and went out to where the Gaang was going to meet. She was hoping to watch the rest of the play with the gaang, so she could make fun of Zuko.

"So far, this intermission is the best part of the play." Zuko complained."Apparently, the playwright thinks I'm an idiot" Sokka comment as he sat down and reached into a small bag of food. "who tells bad jokes about meat all the time." as he took out a strip of meat. "Yeah, you tell bad jokes about plenty of other topics." Suki mocked."I know!" "At least this Sokka actor kinda looks like you. That woman playing the Avatar doesn't resemble me at all.""I don't know, you are more in touch with your feminine side than most guys.""Relax, Aang. They're not accurate portrayals. It's not like I'm a preachy crybaby who can't resist giving overemotional speeches about hope all the time. What?""Yeah. That's not you at all.""Listen, friends. It's obvious that the playwright did his research. I know it must hurt but what you're seeing up there on that stage is the truth."
*Backdrop of the Earth Kingdom.* "Well, here we are in the Earth Kingdom." Actress Katara Aang opened a mini glider prop in her hand.
"I better have a look around to see if I can find an Earthbending teacher.
"This is it! This must be where I come in!" Toph said excitedly.
Zuko brought a parchment closer to his face while Katara looked on Aang flew one round above the audience and back to the stage. "I flew all over town but I couldn't find a single earthbending master."
"Here it comes!" Zapporah smiled at her sister and looked back."You can't find an earthbending master in the sky, you have to look underground." Actor Toph got up and through a rock across the the Gaang's viewing box, everyone broke into laughter. Zuko dropped his parchment in Aang pointed to actor Toph. "Who are you?" Actor Toph spat on the stage.
"My name is Toph because it sounds like tough." He flexed his muscles "And that's just what I am."
Toph who turned her head to side, straining to hear the words."Wait a minute, I sound like… a guy. A really buff guy!" Toph smiled."Well Toph, what you hear up there is the truth. It hurts, doesn't it?"Toph grinned from ear to ear. "Are you kidding me I wouldn't have cast it any other way." she giggled. "At least it's not a flying bald lady."Aang growled and looked angrily back at the stage."So, you're blind?" Actress Aang waved her hands in front of actor Toph's face. "I can see you doing that. I see everything that you see, except that I don't see like you do. I release a sonic wave from my mouth." He turned towards the leading trio and scream. Toph looked on happily"There. I got a pretty good look at you."The audience applauded.
"Zuko, it's time we had a talk." Actor uncle pointed at actor Zuko. "About your hair. It's gone too far.
"Maybe it's best if we…" Zuko turned his head dramatically. "split up." "Love the hair, Zuzu." Azula mocked. Haru chuckled and Azula blushed.
"Hey Azula, why you blushing?" Zuko countered.
Azula rolled her eye's and looked back at the play.
"Azula! My sister. What are you doing here?" "You caught me. Wait. What's that? I think it's your honor!
All 6 actors turn towards the audience as actress Azula opens a door and escapes
"Where?" "She escaped. But how?"Jet yawned and Zuko kept having to wake himself up.
"Zuko, get up and walk around if your gonna dose off." Mai ordered.
Zuko got up walked around the back of the gaangs privet section.
"If she continues drilling, this wall will come down for sure." A black clad hand brought up a rock prop from behind actress Aang and she took it, throwing it towards actress -ha, yes! Continue drilling. The city of Ba Sing Se can't hide no longer!"
"I look like an idiot!"
"You are an idiot, Azula." Zuko said as he came back to his were either sleeping, yawning or just plain uninterested at the scene. Some of them were struggling to stay awake.
*Backdrop of a prison door in Ba Sing Se with the green spooky glow.* Actor Jet came onto the stage, slashing his hooksword arm prop as he did so. "No, Jet! What did they do to you?""Must…. Serve….. Earth King! Must… Destroy!"
"What?! That's so not what happened!" Jet yelled.A rock prop slowly floats onto the stage. Actor Jet crawled on his knees to ensure that he is underneath the rock prop as it landed. The prop fell on him, covering the upper part of his body but his legs popped out from under the rock. Actor Jet brought his legs into the prop. "Did Jet just… die?""You know, it was really unclear."
"Die? I can't die! That… that's not cool!"
"Shut up Jet." Jet looked angrily at Katara and slumped into his Katara: "I have to admit, Prince Zuko. I really find you attractive!""You don't have to make fun of me." Actor Zuko reacted, very emo-ish."But I mean it. I had eyes for you…" Actress Katara proceeds to sit down beside actor Zuko.
Katara and Zuko looked at each other awkwardly and they slid away from each other. "since the day you first captured me."
Aang frowned and looked serious."Wait… I thought you were the Avatar's girl!"Aang nodded."Ha, the Avatar Why, he's like a little brother to me. I certainly don't think of him in a romantic way.
Aang who looked saddened and his eyes turned towards Katara.
"Besides, how could he ever find out about…. this!" Actor's Katara and Zuko get up and hold hands.
Katara looked back at Aang, who stood up in irritation and went to leave."Oh, you're getting up? Can you get me some fire flakes? Oh…. and fire gummies!"Well, my brother…" Actress Azula questioned. "What's it going to be? Your nation or a life of treachery?""Choose treachery, it's more fun." Actor Zuko walked to actor Uncle. The spotlight followed him."No way!"Zuko shoved actor Uncle. Actor Zuko walked towards actress Azula."I hate you, Uncle! You smell and I hate you for all time!" The "Fire siblings" walked offstage as the Earth Kingdom banner fell on top of actor Uncle. Katara covered her mouth in shock. Zuko leaned on the railing somberly."You didn't really say that, did you?" Zuko turned his head away from Katara. "I might as well have." Actress Mai stood up from smoke. Her hair buns were exaggeratedly large with a knife in each of them. She took a knife from her hair and thrust it out. A black clad stagehand carried it across the stage to hit the back of an actor Earth Kingdom soldier's shirt and he got pulled back by a wire to show that the impact of the knife threw him backwards. Actress Ty Lee was much bigger sized than the actual Ty Lee with heavy make up, came onto the stage and kissed the tips of her fingers. She proceeded to tap her fingers on the actor soldier's shoulder and the soldier froze up, sticking his tongue out and fell down. Actress Mai joined actress Ty Lee in the centre of the stage in a finishing pose.
"That's so not what we look like." Mai complained. She and Katara had switched places so Aang could sit next to Katara when he came back.
