The curtains reopened to a nice restaurant in the Fire Nation. Actors Tenzin and Roku led the group, with Actors Hakoda, Irah, and Ning right on their tails. Actors Kaveri and Yue (tall girl with short brown hair) trailed behind, but with an air of excitement. They all were directed to a long table in the middle of the stage, and sat down, chatting amongst themselves. Actor Ning tried to get Actor Roku's attention, but it was currently somewhere else. Then, all of a sudden, things changed when new players entered the scene.

Actors Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko, Mai, and The Duke all entered, seated around a round table. Actor Zuko immediately spotted his 'daughter' sitting with Actor Hakoda, and frowned. "Irah, I'm surprised." He said.

The real members of Team Avatar winced, knowing that whatever was coming next, it couldn't be good.

"What?" Actor Irah said, not quite getting it.

"That a bright and charming girl like you would hang out with a slacker." He said, gesturing towards Actor Hakoda.

Almost all of the actors on stage looked shocked. "Zuko! What's wrong with you?" Actor Mai asked loudly.

"I don't approve of him, all right?" He snapped, angry.

"Who says you have any say in who she hangs out with at all?" Actor Hakoda snapped, clearly having heard this before. Actor Irah nodded furiously. "Yeah! Is that part of the job description, harassing your daughter's friends?"

All of the people seated at the long table nodded, but no one at the circular table said anything. Actor Zuko just walked over.

Actor Zuko:

You make fun - yet I'm the one
Attempting to do some good
Or do you really want a country
Where people run wild on your door every night?
Freedom, Immortality's
A fallacy in your head

(Putting a warning hand on a steaming Actor Hakoda's shoulder)
This is reality
Fantasy is dead

He walked back, and Actor Hakoda stood defiantly up, glaring daggers at him. Actor Mai didn't look happy either, as well as the rest of her crew, but no one said anything. Actor Hakoda stood on the table, wearing a face of mock mourning.

Actor Hakoda:

Dearly beloved, we gather here to say our goodbyes

The others at the long table quickly joined in on the mock funeral, Actors Tenzin and Roku chanting in the background.

Actor Hakoda:

Here she lies
No one knew her worth
The late great daughter of mother earth
On this night when we celebrate the birth
In that little town in the Southern Tribe
Here, we raise our glass – who cares for class? – in –

La vie Boheme

The other friends at the long table immediately started perking up, wiggling in their chairs.

Actors Gaang Jr.:

La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme

Actor Hakoda:

To days of inspiration
Playing hooky, making something out of nothing
The need to express -
To communicate,
To going against the grain,
Going insane
Going mad

To loving tension, no pension
To more than one dimension,
To starving for attention,
Hating convention, hating pretension
Not to mention of course,
Hating dear old mom and dad

To running around,
Midday in worn in boots

To roots - to no absolutes -
To Freedom - to choice -
To having a voice -
To any passing fad!
(He leaned in, putting his arms around Actors Irah and Tenzin, being buddy buddy, swaying)

To being an us for once
Instead of a them! (points finger at the round table)

All:

La Vie Boheme!

La vie Boheme.

Actor Hakoda jumped off the table, sitting down. Some guy, sleatzy looking, whistled at Actor Kaveri, making her 'parents' (real and fake) frown and her 'brother' pull her in close.

Actor Tenzin:

Hey, mister – she's my sister.

A waiter ran in, running around the table, gathering everyone's orders.

Actor Waiter:

So that's five spicy soup, four greens salad
Three komodo chicken dinner, two steak and kidney platter
And one pasta with meatless balls (stopping at Actor Tenzin)

Actor Roku (making a face):

Ew!

Actor Tenzin (shrugging):

It tastes the same.

Actor Yue (chuckling):

If you close your eyes

Actor Waiter:

And thirteen orders of fries
Is that it here?

Actors Toph and the Duke (running over to the round table):

Wine and beer!

Actors Toph and Yue (sort of playing patty-cake and dancing on the table):

To flying high and sailing the seven seas,

To yoga, to yogurt, to rice and beans and cheese
To wrestling, to penguins, to curry vindaloo
To the Dancing Dragon and Avatar Roku

Actors Kaveri and The Duke (dancing):

Emotion, devotion, to causing a commotion
Creation, vacation

Actor Hakoda (holding up his hands in joking protest):

Minors violation

The audience laughed, and the real Aang, Katara, Sokka and Suki looked embarrassed.

Actors Kaveri and The Duke:

Compassion, to fashion, to passion when it's new

Actor The Duke (stopping the dance):

To tree house

Actor Toph:

To rabbit-mouse

Actors Yue and Kaveri:

To holding up espouse

Actors Tenzin and Roku:

Yangchen, Kyoshi, Roku, and Aang

Actor Tenzin (pointing at Roku):

Next the chain!

Actor Roku:

Keeping the faith!

Actor Ning (Kicking back her legs on the table):

To the stage!

Actor Irah:

To Voodoo!

Actor Kaveri:

To whodo!

Actor Yue:

To staying out, too!

Actors Hakoda and Irah:

Why Katara and Sokka jumped on that bison

To stop the revolution!

All at the Long Table:

La Vie Boheme!

There's a pause for a while, Actor Ning tries to tap on Actor Roku's shoulder, but he moves just in time, leaving her hurt.

Actors Hakoda, Irah, Kaveri, Yue, and Tenzin:

Benders, NonBenders, Avatars

Carcinogens, hallucinogens, men, having peace again
Using twin, turpentine, having something that's mine
Dragons, Sky Bison, Unagis
Giant Koi Fish!

All at the Long Table (lining up, and twirling in a chain reaction):

To apathy, to entropy, to empathy, ecstasy
King Bumi - The Rough Rhinos, The Dai Lee,
To no shame - never playing the Fame Game

Actor Tenzin:

To airbending!

All at the long table:

To what I believe, freedom's guaranteed

To hanging ten

Actor Zuko (looking embarrassed):

Waiter! Waiter!

All at the long table:

La Vie Boheme!

The adults – except for Actors The Duke and Actor Toph, who are having a great time at the long table – exit. Actor The Duke stands up mock-formally:

Actor The Duke:

In honor of the death of fantasy, an impromptu salon will commence immediately following dinner.

Kaveri, over there by her friend, will sing Southern Water Tribe tribal chants backwards through her flute while accompanying herself on the drums – which she has never studied.

Actor Roku (joking):

And our good friend Hakoda will show us all how amazing he can wield weapons – in a dress!

Actor Hakoda (trying to regain his dignity):

And Princess Irah will perform the Dancing Dragon, also using her amazing lightning-bending to the sounds of tinkling glasses. And her brother will attempt to do the same!

Actor Roku stands defiantly up, but when he tries to 'lightning-bend' he falls down on his face.

Actor Hakoda (wincing):

Without tripping over his own feet.

Actor The Duke:

Toph Bei Fong will show how well she can Earthbend while accompaniment on the ten gallon metal sauce container!

Actor Toph:

And the Duke will recount his exploits as Freedom Fighter – including the not-so-successful invasion of Black Sun – and using his famous quote later-

All:

Actually Reality – Act Up – Fight For Your Right!

Actor Ning has clearly had enough, grabbing Actor Roku and spinning him around.

Actor Ning:

(sarcastically) Excuse me, did I do something wrong?

(angry) I get invited, then ignored all night long!

Actor Roku:

(apologetic) I've been trying, I'm not lying

(defensive) No one's perfect, I've got baggage!

Actor Ning:

Life's too short, boy, time is flying
I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine

They dance, then end up face to face.

Actor Roku:

I should tell you-

Actor Ning:

I've got baggage too.

Both:

I should tell you – baggage

Actors Toph and The Duke:

WINE AND BEER!
Actors Roku and Ning hold hands, at first uncertainly, but then they look into each other's eyes lovingly. They walk off the stage, leaving the rest of the company at the top of the party.

All:

To dance!

Actor Toph:

No way to make a living, pushy parents, pain, perfection
Muscle spasms, mud wrestling, short careers, sight problems!

All:

Plays!

Actor The Duke:

Adventure, tedium, no family, boring locations,
Dark rooms, perfect faces, egos, money, Ba Sing Se, and sleazes!

All:

Music!

Actor Kaveri:

Food of love, emotion, mathematics, isolation,
Rhythm, feeling, power, harmony, and heavy competition!

All:

Freedom!

Actors Irah and Hakoda:

Revolution, justice, screaming for solutions,
Forcing changes, risk, and danger
Making noise and making pleasure!

All:

To benders, fighters, lovers, heroes too

Actor Yue:

To me!

Actor Hakoda:

To me!

Actor Tenzin:

To me (pointing out members of the crowd) to you, and you, and you, you and you

All:

To people living with, living with, living with
Not dying from disease
Let he among us without sin be the first to condemn!
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme

Actor Tenzin:

Anyone out of the mainstream
Is anyone in the mainstream?
Anyone alive with some kinda drive

All but Actor Tenzin:

La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme

Actor Tenzin:

Tear down the wall
Aren't we all?
The opposite of war isn't peace...
It's creation!

All:

La Vie Boheme…

Viva

La Vie

BOHEME!

The curtains closed to a thunderously applauding audience.
