"Alright, let's do it!" Abbey announced. She looked at her list. "I love this musical the next song is from to death, even though it's not extremely well known. I need Toph and Aang on stage please." The two reluctantly stepped onto the stage. "You guys are going to sing Suddenly Seymour from Little Shop of Horrors."
"Why'd you have me sing with Twinkletoes?" Toph whined, flexing a thumb in Aang's direction. "He's a pansy."
"Because next to Maiko, Taang is my favorite pairing!"
"Taang?"
"You and Aang as a couple." Toph gagged and Aang blushed. "Anyway," Abbey continued, "Let's get on with it!" She handed the two kids scripts and sat at the piano and begun to play.
Aang:
Lift up your head.
Wash off your mascara.
Here, take my Kleenex.
Wipe that lipstick away.
Show me your face,
Clean as the morning.
I know things were bad,
But now they're okay.
Suddenly Seymour
Is standing beside you.
You don't need no makeup.
Don't have to pretend.
Suddenly Seymour
Is here to provide you.
Sweet understanding,
Seymour's your friend
Toph:
Nobody ever
Treated me kindly.
Daddy left early.
Mama was poor.
I'd meet a man and
I'd follow him blindly.
He'd snap his fingers.
Me, I'd say "sure."
Suddenly Seymour
Is standin' beside me.
He don't give me orders.
He don't condescend.
Suddenly Seymour
Is here to provide me.
Sweet understanding,
Seymour's my friend.
Aang:
Tell me this feeling lasts till forever.
Tell me the bad times are clean washed away!
Toph:
Please understand that it's still
Strange and frightnin'.
For losers like I've been ,
It's so hard to say,
Toph/Aang:
Suddenly Seymour/ Suddenly Seymour,
He purified me/ He purified you.
Suddenly Seymour/ Suddenly Seymour,
Showed me I can/ Yes, you can!
Both (Aang in parenthesis):
Learn how to be more,
The girl that's inside me (you).
With sweet understanding,
With sweet understanding,
With sweet understanding,
Seymour's my (your) man!
The audience erupted. Especially Katara, both proud that Aang did a great job and excited that he might've found someone else to fawn over. She couldn't help, however, feeling a little jealous of Toph; Aang liked her first.
The song had ended in a hug between Toph and Aang. And it was getting more and more awkward by the second.
"You can let go of me now, Aang," Toph chuckled.
"Oh, sorry," Aang said and blushed. They both laughed inwardly. Abbey, who was watching the two, awed.
"Look how cute they are," she said, poking her friends and brother in the sides.
"For once," Ezekiel said, "I agree."
"So, more Taang?"
"Most definitely."
