Karaoke Bar

"No…way!" Toph protested.

"Aw, come on Toph. It just opened up." Aang begged her.

"Not a chance in hell twinkle toes." Toph walked away from him.

"Katara and Sokka are going!"

"Figures."

"So you're gonna come?"

"NO!"

"Why not?"

"Because karaoke is a sin, that's why! It's a horrible abomination against all things sacred and God hates it."

"Oh, stop being so dramatic."

"Any wonderful song can be destroyed one drunk idiot who thinks they can sing. Even Barry White can be butchered because some loser secretary had one too many martinis after a long day at work."

Aang paused. "…it'll be fun."

"I'm not going!" Toph said as she stamped her feet. "And that's final!"

"How do I let you talk me into these things?" Toph moaned. She was stuck between Katara and Aang.

"Just try to have fun." Aang smiled at her.

"Yeah, just loosen up." Katara backed Aang up.

"They don't even serve booze until after the sun goes down. How am I supposed to loosen up?"

"You're fourteen!" Katara said shock. "You're too young to drink anyway."

"Yeah. Tell Sokka that he's 'too young to drink' and he'll tell you some stories." Toph said. Katara looked even more shocked. "You'd think he was drunk already." Toph pointed to Sokka, who was on the stage with the microphone clenched passionately in his hand, bellowing out a moving rendition of Ironman.

Now the time is near…for Ironman to spread fear…

"You suck!" Toph yelled at him.

Vengeance from the grave…kills the people he once saved…

"Get off the stage!"

Nobody wants him! They just turn their head!

"I'm stealing your wallet!" Toph said as she took a 20 out of Sokka's cheap Velcro wallet. Katara finally got Toph to stop yelling by offering to buy her some wings.

After the chorus, Sokka jumped down and ran back to his seat. The audience clapped and waited for the next person to go on stage.

"How was I?" Sokka asked.

"It reminded me of a cat get crushed by a steamroller." Toph as she licked the wing sauce off her finger tips.

"You eat like a pig." Katara said, disgusted.

"And you lives with one." Toph looked at Sokka.

"I like this place." Aang said, trying to change the subject. "We should hang out here more often."

"Fine. So long as Ozzy over here doesn't sing another song." Toph pointed to Sokka.

"You always have something smart to say, don't you?" Sokka asked rhetorically.

"That's because I'm a smart person. What's your excuse? Just get lucky?" A small burp popped out of Toph's mouth.

"Okay, calm down." Aang tried to stop Toph from getting warmed up.

"You're the reason I'm here twinkle toes. You should have known that I'd be antsy."

"I really hate that nickname." Aang said. Sokka tried to reach for one of Toph's wing, but Toph slapped his hand away before he could get one.

"Aang, sing something." Sokka insisted.

"What?" Aang turned red at a record speed.

"Yeah. Come on skinny." Toph smiled. "Sing something."

"No! No way." Aang began to sweat.

"I'll sing with you Aang." Katara said with a warm smile. "It'll be a duet."

"With…you." Aang turned red, but to a different shade.

"Yeah. It'll be fun." Katara assured him.

"Um…" Aang hesitated, but he was definitely thinking about it.

"Sing a Vanessa Carlton song." Toph joked.

"What!" Aang got embarrassed again. "No. I don't want to sing."

"If you don't go, than I don't go." Katara said, trying to use reverse psychology on the boy.

"Thanks Katara." Aang said gratefully. Katara's trick didn't work.

"One day you're gonna go up there and sing." Toph said. "And I'm going to watch every second of you making a fool of yourself."

"Shut up Toph." Aang said, feeling embarrassed again.
