There was big ball up in the King's palace that we'd all been invited to; I was currently watching the antics of Katara and Zuko. All I was thinking was how pretty Katara was and how much I wanted to be her date for the dance. I was almost certain that she was angel that's how beautiful and perfect she was. She could do no wrong in my eyes. In fact I was in love with her.
'Larry: "Barbara Manatee (Manatee, Manatee)
You are the one for me (one for me, one for me)
Sent from up above (up above, up above)
You are the one I love (I love, I love, I love)"'
Zuko was explaining to Katara why he couldn't take her to the ball, it wasn't that he didn't like her; in fact he liked her quite a bit. But he just couldn't take her to the ball; he was planning on going out that night as the Blue Spirit to protect the homes of the partygoers from robbers and such. He was trying to be the hero.
'Bill: "Please don't cry Bar-ba-ra,
You're a nice Manatee,
You've been so good to me
But I must go into the world and do noble things for the good of all
And you can't come because you don't speak French,
Au revoir"'
Katara was asking Zuko who would take her up at the palace if he wasn't going to. She was explaining to him how she'd carefully picked out her outfit and shoes and hair and make up. She didn't want all of that work to go to waste. She was now getting quite angry demanding to know who was going to take her to the ball.
'Barbara: "But if you leave Bill
Who will take me to the ball?
Whose going to take me to the ball, Bill?
I have a new dress and shoes
A new manatee lipstick
Who will take me to the ball?"'
I was basically bursting out of skin with the desire to tell Katara that I would take her to the ball. Katara was practically begging Zuko to take her to the ball, but he kept refusing to give. Saying that it was his duty to protect the people. She said that didn't change the fact that she still wanted Zuko to take her to the ball.
'Larry: "I'll take you to the ball Barbara Manatee!"
Barbara: "Please don't go"
Bill: "I must"
Barbara: "Don't go!"
Bill: "I must!"
Barbara: "Don't!"
Bill: "Must!"
Barbara: "Don't, don't!"
Bill: "Must, must!"'
Zuko was still refusing to take Katara no matter what she said it didn't seem to make any difference to him. I was about to rush over and announce my intention of taking Katara but decided that it was best to wait until she cooled off and for me to ask casually if she had a date, and if she didn't, which I would already know, I would offer my services as an escort. Maybe if I was lucky she'd be so grateful that at the end of the evening she would give me a kiss.
'Larry: "Barbara Manatee (Manatee, Manatee)
You are the one for me (one for me, one for me)
Sent from up above (a manatee from heaven)
You are the one I love
Barbara Manatee (Manatee, Manatee)
I'll be you're mon amie (mon amie, mon amie)
I'll take you to the ball (to the ball, to the ball)
I hope you're not too tall (they might have trouble dancing)'
Suddenly Katara came back from her room where she'd disappeared a few minutes earlier, dressed in black and carrying multiple water skins. I heard Zuko ask her what they were for and heard her respond by saying that she was going with him to patrol. With those few words my hopes where dashed upon the rocks. But then they were restored when she asked Zuko if they could go to the ball for a little while first and then leave to protect the city. Zuko said, "No." And Katara demanded to why. He muttered, "I can't remember how to dance." I barely contained myself from doing I happy dance of joy. There was no way Zuko was going to be able to take her to the ball now.
'Barbara: "Bill, I've learned French"
Bill: "You have?"
Barbara: "Mais, oui. Je suis Manatee. See?"
Bill: "Oui, oui mon amie
I always knew you could
I really hoped you would
Now can we go into the world and do noble things for the good of all?"
Barbara: "Yes, but first, will you take me to the ball?
Oh, Bill, will you take me to the ball?"
Bill: "…I can't dance"
Barbara: "You can't!?"
Bill: "No"
Barbara: "I must go"
Bill: "Please don't go"
Barbara: "I must"
Bill: "Don't go!"
Barbara: "I must!"
Bill: "Don't!"
Barbara: "Must!"
Bill: "Don't,
don't!"
Barbara: "Must, must!"
I stood up to go over to Katara to tell her of my intentions of taking her to the ball, when Toph walked in demanded to know what I was doing. When I told her she laughed and told me that I should just quit now, because she'd just heard Zuko asking Iroh to dance. I silently fumed and agreed that it was hopeless, but I refused to believe that Katara and I weren't meant to be together.
'Larry: "Barbara Manatee (Manatee, Manatee)
You are the one…
Door Opens
Bob: "Larry…what are you doing?"
Larry: "Just watching a little TV …Bob."
Bob: "Well… maybe you should read a book."
Larry: "Yeah okay."
I turned away just in time to hear Zuko come back and tell Katara that he'd relearned how to dance. I heard her squeal and watched her leap into Zuko's arms, and declare that she had a lot to do before she was ready for the ball tonight. I sighed, there would be other opportunities to get her away from Zuko, I hoped.
'Bill: "Oh Bar-ba-ra, I've learned to dance."
Barbara: "Oh, Bill!"'
