Enter: The World of Aang

Chapter 16: Caught again by Zuko, Talent Show

I sighed. This was going to be a long day. 'How long was I out? When did it happen? And why did… did… why did Suki do this!' I got out of bed and stood up. "Sokka, why did Suki do this? What did I do?" I grabbed Sokka and cried onto his shoulder. A tear slid down his cheek.

"I don't know Jennifer, I don't know. BUT! We should be getting off of Kyoshi anyway. It's best not to stay, I think you know what happened last time." Sokka looked down like he had been defeated. I nodded.

"I saw everything…" Then I smiled, still a few stray tears coming down my face. "INCLUDING when Suki kissed you!" Aang started cracking up, I just giggled, and Sokka blushed hard. I hugged Sokka softly. Then moved my face close to his ear. "But, it will be our little secret." I whispered into his ear, carelessly caressing his cheek with my index finger. Then I planted a nice, sweet romantic kiss on Sokka's lips. We sat there kissing before Aang decided to break us apart from our wonderful, lovely kiss.

"And mine too!" Aang perked up. I totally forgot he was here. I blushed. Sokka just smiled like a goofball. Then I laughed the blush away. "Does anyone know when I get to get out of this piece of crap hospital?" I asked. Sokka and Aang laughed. I grabbed their hands. "Come on! Let's go see!" I was running really fast, so it was hard for Sokka to keep up. Then I suddenly stopped and let go. Sokka fell on his face. I would've laughed, except there was no need. 'Zuko. What is it doing here!' I told Sokka and Aang to go and wake up Katara, "I have no reason, just go tell her I'm awake, Ok?" I asked. They nodded and left. I burst through the doors and I walked out a little. Then I ran down the stairs only to trip over some rope. I fell to the ground with a loud thud. I didn't have time to get up, because Zuko picked me up, gagged me, and stuffed me into a bag. I took one whiff (because I always breathe through my nose) and it smelled horrible! Since Zuko was too stupid, and didn't tie my hands up, I grabbed the gag out of my mouth. "EW! What was in here? Old gym shorts and socks!" He then scorched the bag. There was a short scream, and then there was silence.

Somewhere

I heard voices, familiar voices. I knew who it was. I opened my eyes. I was in a cell. Only a single flame on a torch lit the little, cold, lonely, hard floored, empty cell. I was on the ground. I tried to sit up, but it hurt too much. I looked around and saw Prince Zuko and Iroh outside of the cell door. "Oh, thank the Fire Lords you're awake! I wanted to ask you something!" Iroh exclaimed. Zuko was obviously angry at what Iroh wanted to ask.

"No Uncle! She doesn't have to know about it!" The Prince yelled. My expression turned sour.

"Oh, what is it? That I have cancer and I'm dying? That you're planning on leaving me here without food or water, to make me suffer?" I said in a somewhat baby voice. Zuko glared at me.

"Actually, we wanted to invite you to our 1st Annual Talent Show!" Iroh cheered. I started clapping.

"Yay! Sounds like fun!" I screeched. Oh no. Tomboy mode is now switching to Girly Girl mode! Duck and cover! "Oh my gosh! I have to do my hair! It's a mess! And my outfit, nails, teeth, EVERYTHING!" I started running in circles in my cell. But then, it hit me. My Tomboy mode went back on. I reached into my pocket, and pulled out a little cell phone. I opened up the flap of my flip phone, and saw I had 3/3 bars. "YAY!" I dialed my number, then I heard it say 'We are sorry, if you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again.' "NO! I COULD'VE FOUND A WAY HOME!" I yelled. But then, I had another idea. I went to the ring tones, and picked out 'Eye of the Tiger' and put it on max volume (If I had a real cell phone, trust me, max volume would be LOUD!). I started dancing what I practiced for my talent show at school, which I will probably never go to, but I still practiced hard anyway. My favorite song ended, so I put my cell phone away (Man, I wish I had a cell phone! But sadly, I don't!). Iroh clapped. Zuko still glared, but with an eye twitching. "What's wrong Princey? Did I make him feel all funny inside by dancing a little?" I said, then dancing like a belly dancer, exposing a lot of my stomach. Then I had an idea for the talent show. "Hey Iroh! Can I perform in the Talent Show you have?" I asked. Iroh looked happier than I have ever seen him on the show. His smile almost went past his ears.

"We'd love to have you perform. Right, Prince Zuko?" Long pause… "Prince Zuko?" Iroh waved his hand in Zuko's face. "NEPHEW! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Then he slapped him. Zuko un-tranced himself and mumbled something under his breath that sounded like, "Fine, you can… whatever…" 'Ah, good thing I ALWAYS keep my pole dancing suit underneath my clothes!' I thought (I really, really, REALLY wish I did!). Then Iroh led me to the galley. I pulled out a CD case (God knows how many things I had stuffed in my pockets!); it said 'Jennifer's Fave Song Tunes'. I popped it into a place that Iroh told to I could out it in. I turned it on, and switched it t 5. It was only music, so I could sing. The music started. Then after a minute of music, I started to sing:

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's –cough cough-'d up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

The song ended. A lot of people clapped. Some people even cheered for more. I bowed, then changed it to 7. The music started, about a couple of seconds passed, and I started singing:

Risin' up, back on the street

Did my time, took my chances

Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet

Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast

You change your passion for glory

Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past

You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight

Risin' up to the challenge of our rival

And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night

And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat

Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry

They stack the odds 'til we take to the street

For we kill with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight

Risin' up to the challenge of our rival

And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night

And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Risin' up, straight to the top

Have the guts, got the glory

Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop

Just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight

Risin' up to the challenge of our rival

And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night

And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger

It ended. Lots of clapping this time, way louder too. They encouraged for more. So I went and switched on 15. Then I dimmed the lights, so there is just a spotlight on me. Then I took off my shirt slowly. A lot of them cheered to continue the strip down. I then slid down my pants. I felt myself getting very warm, but didn't care, because I knew that Sokka was coming for me. I had an undershirt on, I took it off fast and threw it into the audience, they and fought for it, until I heard a big 'RIIIP!' and "NOO!" I sighed and slipped off the shorts I had on under the pants I had. I was stupid to throw everything in the audience except for my shorts. All I had on was a very small bra and a thong (O.o). All the men came up to stage and tried to touch me. I screamed very loud. I guess Sokka heard it too. I wanted to get out of there, with all those drunken men, including Prince Zuko. Si I quickly popped out the CD, put my shorts on, stuffed the CD in my pocket (Thank god my "cell phone" was in my shorts!) and ran off stage. I knew where Sokka would be, so I went on deck. And sure enough, there was Sokka trying to get off Appa. "SOKKA!" I screamed and ran and hugged him. "Please, take me back. I want to leave this ship." I said shakily. Sokka nodded and we flew off.
