Abbey stepped on stage and smiled. She looked at Mai, who was sitting in between Azula and Ty Lee. Mai shot her a look that said, "What are you planning next, you psycho?"
"Okay," Abbey said loudly to get the attention of the people in the audience, "I am taking a break from using Fire Nation people in my songs for a little bit. Now, we are going to see two people from two different nations. Now where are they?" Abbey looked from her clipboard to the audience, back and forth, until she found the two characters she wanted.
"Alright, I need Toph and Katara to come onstage please," she said with a large, amused smile. Katara got up and started to walk towards the stage. On her way up, she stuck her tongue out at Mai discreetly.
Toph, however, was not easily persuaded to get up. Only with some "help" from Billy and Ezekiel did she decide to get up and join Katara.
"Thank you, honey," she said to Billy sweetly. He told her that it wasn't a problem. Abbey kissed him on the cheek, only to get water whipped by Katara again.
"Okay, you're paying for that later," is all Abbey said in return.
"What about me?" Ezekiel said, waving his hand to get his sister's attention.
"Oh, yeah. Thanks. Whatever," she said, and she turned to the girls on stage. "Good luck!" She turned back to the audience.
"I need a child or a couple to sing a couple lines in the song. Any takers?" Abbey asked. A few hands shot up, so she took them. The children who came up included Meng, Koko, and Lee. A few young girls from Kyoshi Island also went on stage.
"We're ready now," Abbey said. She turned to Victoria and motioned for the music to start.
Toph:
Many nights we've prayed
with no proof anyone
could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely
understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much
to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we ever knew we
could
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though
hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You
can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will
when you believe
Katara:
In this time of fear
When
prayer so often proved in vain
Hope seemed like the summer
birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
Toph:
Now I'm standing here
Katara:
With heart so full I can't explain
Both:
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought
I'd say
There can be miracles
Katara:
When you believe
Toph:
When you believe
Katara:
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Toph:
It's hard to kill
Both:
Who knows what miracles
Katara:
You can achieve
Toph:
You can achieve
Both:
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will
when you believe...
Children:
A-shi-ra la-do-nai
ki ga-oh ga-ah
A-shi-ra la-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah
Mi-cha-mo-cha
ba-elim adonai
Mi-ka-mo-cha ne-dar- ba-ko-desh
Na-chi-tah
v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta
Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu
ga-al-ta
A-shi-ra, a-shi-ra, a-shi-ra...
All:
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Toph:
Its hard to kill
All:
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
Katara:
You can achieve
All:
When you believe.
Somehow you will
Now you will
You
will when you believe
Toph and Katara:
You will
when you believe
The audience was cheering madly. Katara curtsied and Toph smiled. The children were just ecstatic that they got a chance to sing. Abbey had tears in her eyes.
"That was amazing!" she said and hugged Katara. Abbey tried to hug Toph, but she wasn't interested.
"You two need to go up more often," Victoria said, shuffling the papers on her piano, "That was too good!"
Katara went downstage to hug Zuko, who had gone up to the front of the audience to congratulate her. But, Abbey intervened.
"Wowthatwasgreatletsdothatagainsometimeokaystop," she said in a rushed tone while pushing apart the two teenagers. It didn't work, and Abbey just ended up getting squished between the two. They let go, and she crawled away to go get the next song ready.
