My Fortune
Chapter II:
A Girl Worth Fighting For
(I know, I know. I said this would be a one-shot... But, I watched Mulan for the hundredth time to work on my Yu-Gi-Oh! parody, and I couldn't get this song out of my head. It is a drabble, really, and so My Fortune shall be a series of drabbles. Probably all Zutara. Also, Jun rules. Seriously. I thought she'd be completely different, but... Well, Nick can surprise me!)
Disclaimer: If I owned Nick or Avatar, do you think I would write fanfiction?
"Uncle," A very steamedPrince of the Fire Nation said through his teeth, "If I have told you once, I've told you a thousand times. NO, I DO NOT want to go to MUSIC NIGHT!" The retired general shrugged, and shut the door. "I guess you'll miss out." Zuko sighed, then continued his meditation. Up, down, up, down. Inhale, exhale. He then heard a sungi horn being played, and the men singing
For a long time we've been marching off to battle
In our thund'ring herd we feel a lot like cattle
Like the pounding beat our aching feet aren't easy to ignore
Then, a younger soldier chimed in.
Hey, think of instead a girl worth fighting for
Huh?
That's what I said: A girl worth fighting for
I want her paler than the moon with eyes that shine like stars
Another, probably older one added,
My girl will marvel at my strength, adore my battle scars
Yet another sang,
I couldn't care less what she wears
Or what she looks like
It all depends on what she cooks, like: Beef, pork, chicken, mmm...
The older one started a new verse,
Bet the local girls thought you were quite the charmer
The young one contributed a part,
And I'll bet the ladies love a man in armor
The entire crew was singing,
You can guess what we have missed the most since we went off to war
What do we want?
A girl worth fighting for
The younger started,
My girl will think I have no faults
The one who liked food added on,
That I'm a major find
An even younger one stuttered his part,
How 'bout a girl who's got a brain
Who always speaks her mind?
The three original soldiers disagreed,
Nah!
The first soldier boasted,
My manly ways and turn of phrase are sure to thrill her
But, the older one commented,
He thinks he's such a lady-killer...
A splashing sound was heard, and the older man shouted, "Drinks' on you!"
The captain sang his part,
I've a girl back home who's unlike any other
The older one then protested,
Yeah, the only girl who'd love him is his mother
The complete party sang out,
But when we come home in victory they'll line up at the door
What do we want?
A girl worth fighting for
Wish that I had
A girl worth fighting for
A girl worth fighting -
The Prince came into the room.
"Uncle! Keep it down, I can't hear myself think!"
(Ano... O.O Now... How was that Zutara... again? Um... Nevermind... Okay, until next idea, tootles! Gah... That pep rally we had today probably made me loose the brain cells that would make this Zutara... Dang those preppy cheerleaders. HAD to shout at the TOP of your lungs, didn't 'cha!)
