The two people on the stage looked at each other, "Oh… no."
"NOT A LOVE SONG!!" Taang yelled.
Mistress Monster raised her tazer, and Aang and Zuko cringed and began to sing.
ZUKO
Did I abuse her
Or show her disdain?
Why does she run from me?
If I should lose her,
How shall I regain
The heart she has won from me?
Agony!
Beyond power of speech,
When the one thing you want
Is the only thing out of your reach.
AANG
High in her tower,
She sits by the hour,
Maintaining her hair.
Blithe and becoming and frequently humming
A lighthearted air:
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-
Agony!
Far more painful than yours,
When you know she would go with you
If there only were doors.
BOTH
Agony!
Oh, the torture they teach!
AANG
What's as intriguing-
ZUKO
Or half so fatiguing-
BOTH
As what's out of reach?
ZUKO
Am I not sensitive,
Clever,
Well-mannered,
Considerate,
Passionate,
Charming,
As kind as I'm handsome
And heir to a throne?
AANG
You are everything maidens could wish for!
ZUKO
Then why no-?
AANG
Do I know?
ZUKO
The girl must be mad!
AANG
You know nothing of madness
Till you're climbing her hair
And you see her up there
AS you're nearing her,
All the while hearing her:
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-
BOTH
Agony!
ZUKO
Misery!
AANG
Woe!
BOTH
Though it's different for each.
ZUKO
Always ten steps behind-
AANG
Always ten feet below-
BOTH
And she's just out of reach.
Agony
That can cut like a knife!
I must have her to wife.
"That was Into The Woods, wasn't it?" Sokka asked, yelling across the theatre. He did NOT want to be tazed again.
Taang nodded.
"Who were we singing to?" Aang asked.
"Do you HAVE to ask?" Mistress Monster asked.
Toph and Katara immediately blushed, "We're too young," they whispered to… no one in particular.
