Morning was slowly coming and letting its rays of sun light shine down on an Island. There on Ember Island a young couple sleeps together one holding the other as if keeping them safe in their sleep. As the sun rise's more into the sky some sun light sneaks in through the window of the couple's bedroom.
And just at the perfect angle, a ray of sun light hits the young warrior's eyes. She stirs in her sleep and slowly slips away from her lover grabbing more of the blanket covering her eyes from the horrible rays of light. As she moves she slowly awakes her dark skinned lover in the process.
Katara slowly opens her eyes feeling the warmth of her lover disappear, she did not like it. She slowly turns over to see where her firebender went as soon as she turns to look; she smiles seeing her lover wrapped up under the covers hiding. She looked at her for a couple of moments till a voice spoke up.
"I'll give you five gold pieces if you stop staring at me so I can go back to sleep"
The young woman smiled looking at the covers "Not going to happen"
"Alright twenty gold pieces that's my final offer" she said
"Tempting but no" she grinned and poked her lover's side "Not much of a morning person as you say you are huh?" watching her lover squirm away
"We were out all night and we didn't get home till I wanna say maybe three in the morning. It's too early to get up. So why don't we go back to sleep princess." The prodigy said yawning
"I would love too but I have something else in mind" Katara said grinning and slowly pulling the covers away from her firebender
"Oh really and what might that be?" she asked rubbing her eyes now fully awake
Placing her finger on her chin as if thinking "Well I believe in starting the morning the right way" and slowly got on top of her lover straddling her waist
Azula grinned placing her hands on her waterbenders hips "I like how this is going so far"
"Hmmm I can tell" then she slowly leaned in kissing her lover deeply.
Their lips moved together and Katara let out a dazed gasp as she felt Azula's tongue move across her lips. She opened up and felt the spark ignite the moment their tongues touched. The young firebender slowly sat up feeling her lover's legs and arms wrap around her.
Her hands started to roam around down to her lover's firm backside. Using her hands she pulled her waterbender closer to her body. The young woman whimpered feeling her lovers hand gently squeeze her bottom. As soon as they broke the kiss Azula went straight for her lover's neck.
Katara smiled lightly biting her lower lip while running her fingers through her lover's hair "Hmm Zula"
Just as things were about to get interesting someone interrupts them by knocking on the bedroom door.
"Katara you gotta see this new move I just learned from Zuko!" the young monk said excitingly
The young woman started to blush still feeling her lover tease her neck "B-Be there soonahh" she blushed even more and lightly slapped her lovers arm.
"Are you feeling ok Katara? You don't sound so good."
"She's going to feel good as soon as I'm done with her" Azula whispered against her waterbenders neck
Still blushing the young woman was able to talk right for a moment "I-I'm fine Aang, I'll be out in a bit. Just. Just let me get dressed ok"
"Well ok meet you outside." He said and started to walk away
Katara let out a sigh of relief then looked down at her lover who was grinning back at her.
"I can't believe you sometimes" she said looking at her
The young warrior kissed her lips "Oh come on you know you want it"
"Yes I do but not now since someone is waiting for me" her lover said ready to get off the prodigy
"How about a quick one before you go?" she asked holding her lovers hips
The waterbender leaned in and lightly spoke against her lover's lips "How about later on tonight? So that way you can have me all to yourself with no interruptions"
"Very smart princess alright I guess I can wait till tonight then. In the meantime I think I should head into town and get something to eat." She said slipping her hands way from her lover
"Ok that sounds good, so I'll meet you back here tonight?" the young woman asked moving off her lover and started getting her clothes on
"Yea I'll be here" she said getting out of bed as well and started getting dressed
Katara watched her for a moment and smiled "Ok" finishing getting dressed "I'll see you later then Zula" she said walking over to her lover kissing her lips
"Yea I'll see you later" kissing back then putting the last of her clothes on
After getting dressed they said their small goodbye's and went their separate ways. Katara went off into the small court yard where she saw Zuko and Aang train. She quietly sat down next to Toph who was lying on her back taking a nap. She lightly smiled then looked over at her two friends watching them quietly.
As time passed she saw the young firebenders doing their last set of firebending techniques. Once they were done they took a deep breath carefully then turned towards each other and bowed to one another. After that they separated trying to cool down.
Katara looked around the place for a moment then spoke "Doesn't it seem kinda weird that we're hiding from the Fire Lord in his own house"
"I told you, my Father hasn't come here since our family was actually happy. And that was a long time ago. This is the last place anyone would think to look for us." The prince said sitting on the old water fountain
"You guys are not going to believe this." Sokka said running up to the group "There's a play about us."
"We were just in town and we found this poster." Suki said while her boyfriend showed the poster to everyone.
"What ? How is that possible? " Katara asked walking over to them to get closer look of the poster
The young warrior turns the poster back around and starts to read "Listen to this. "The Boy in the Iceberg is a new production from acclaimed playwright Pu On Tim who scoured the globe gathering information on the Avatar from the icy South Pole to the heart of Ba Sing Se. His sources including singing nomads, pirates, prisoners of war and a surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbage."
Suki took over reading the last part "Brought to you by the critically acclaimed Ember Island Players."
Zuko makes a face remembering his childhood "Ugh. My Mother used to take us to see them. They butchered "Love Amongst The Dragons" every year."
The waterbender looks back at her brother and spoke "Sokka, do you really think it's a good idea for us to attend a play about ourselves "
"Come on, a day at the theatre . This is the kind of wacky time wasting nonsense I've been missing." He said with a cheesy smile
Meanwhile in the Town of Ember Island the young firebender was strolling around looking at stores thinking of what to do. As she walked around something caught her eye she stopped at mid step then slowly walked backwards.
"Hello what's this?" she asked looking at the poster "Interesting somebody wrote a play about the Avatar and the adventures he had up till now, sounds nice." She kept reading till she read the bottom part and frowned. "Brought to you by the critically acclaimed Ember Island Players. Ugh those idiots ruined "Love Amongst The Dragons" every year" she said looking at the poster for a moment
"But I do want to know what Katara has been up to before we meet, so I guess I could go" she said rubbing her chin "Hmmm I'll just say for research" and with that she walked away now knowing what she was going to do today.
Later on that night everyone took off to the play with Katara and Azula completely unaware that they were going to the same place. Azula went on the second floor and manage to find an empty booth. She sat down and waited for the play to start.
Not too far from the princess the gang found seats on the second floor as well. Toph, Katara, Zuko and Aang sit down in the front row. Aang was getting ready to sit next to Katara when Zuko sat himself down beside her. He was a bit unhappy about that.
"Hey, uh… I wanted to sit there." He said
Katara looked over at them talking "I don't think Azula would like that idea if she was here. At least Zuko sat down soon than he did."
"Just sit next to me, what's the big deal" the prince said taking his hood off
"I was just… I wanted to… Okay." The young monk sat down disappointed
The small earthbender spoke up "Why are we sitting in the nose bleed section my feet can't see a thing from up here."
"Don't worry, I'll tell your feet what's happening." Katara informed her friend
As the curtain on the stage there two actors are pretending to paddle the boat. One looked like Katara except a bit bigger and her costume was a bit more revealing. The other looked like Sokka he was a lot thinner and had buck teeth along with a big ponytail.
The young waterbender smiled in excitement then she felt a hand on her shoulder she looked up smiling at her brother who was pointing at her and himself. Then they looked back at the actors. Azula on the other hand looked at the actress carefully "Ok two things. One Katara is not fat, and two Damn I wish her clothes were that reveling as that woman's." then kept watching.
"Sokka, my only brother. We constantly roam these icy South Pole seas and yet never do we find anything fulfilling." The actress said looking bored
"All I want is a full feeling in my stomach, I'm starving!" he said making the audience laugh.
The young water tribe siblings however made a strange look then looked back at each other.
"Is food the only thing on your mind " the fake Katara asked
"Well, I'm trying to get it out of my mind and into my mouth. I'm starving." The actor said making the audience laugh again.
Sokka is offended by this and complains quietly to his sister "This is pathetic. My jokes are way funnier than this."
Toph laughs looking at the siblings "I think he's got you pegged."
The actress stands up and speaks "Every day the World awaits a beacon to guide us, yet none appears. Still, we cannot give up hope. For hope is all we have and we must never relinquish it. Even… even to our dying breath." And she starts to fake cry
Katara narrows her eyes "Well, that's just silly. I don't sound like that." Hearing her friends giggle.
"Oh man, this writer's a genius." The blind bandit said enjoying the show
Azula places a hand over her mouth to keep herself from laughing hard "This chick is ridicules. Was Katara really like that before she met me?" calming herself down she kept watching.
Actress Katara looks up seeing a bright light she sees a prop iceberg "It appears to be someone frozen in ice. Perhaps for a hundred years"
"But who? Who is the boy in the iceberg" the actor Sokka asked
Aang gets excited and leans over the railing to get a closer look to see what his actor would look like.
Both water tribe actors get on the prop and fake Katara speaks "Waterbend, hai-ya!" pretending to chop the spear in half.
Azula makes a strange face after hearing that "Ok I know for a fact that Katara does not do that or even says hai-ya."
Once the prop ice ball opened smoke came out then a small woman pops out winking at the audience. Everyone claps in amazement. Aang freaks out of what he sees. And Azula is once again trying hard to contain her laughter. "Holy crap he's a woman I just knew it."
"Who are you, frozen boy" the actress asked
The bold actress giggles "I'm the Avatar, silly. Here to spread joy and fun."
"Wait, is that a woman playing me ?" Aang asked in disbelief
Then a white shaggy creature comes up behind the actors and runs around them as if it was flying. The creature had six legs and interesting designs of arrows on it. Representing Appa.
Fake Karata gasp "An airbender. My heart is so full of hope that it's making me tearbend." And starts to cry
"My stomach is so empty that it's making me tearbend." Fake Sokka started crying as well "I need meat."
The female Aang holds her friend and points to the ceiling "But wait. Is that a platter of meaty dumplings ?"
"Ooo. Where? Where? " he asked
The actress giggles "Did I mention that I'm an incurable prankster"
Aang complains "I don't do that. That's not what I'm like! And I'm not a woman!" seeing his friends look as him
"Oh, they nailed you, Twinkle Toes." Toph said while laughing
The stage changes and a prop boat slides into view as if sailing through water. There the gang sees the actors of Zuko and his uncle. Azula looks closely and frowns "They didn't even get the right looks for them. Zuzu's scar is on the wrong side and our uncle is not that fat." She said to herself. "Damn if they didn't do a good job on them. I wonder what they made me look like."
"Prince Zuko, you must try this cake." The large man said showing a partly eaten cake.
"I don't have time to stuff my face. I must capture the Avatar to regain my honor!" he said in a rough deep voice.
"Well, while you do that, maybe I'll capture another slice." Fake uncle said stuffing the cake in his face
Actor Zuko looks at him then back to the front "You sicken me."
"They make me totally stiff and humorless." Zuko said with Katara smirking at him.
"Actually, I think that actor's pretty spot on." She said
Zuko looks back at her shocked "How could you say that"
Fake uncle walks up behind the actor "Let's forget about the Avatar and get massages."
"How could you say that !" fake Zuko said upset
Katara looked back at Zuko smirking in victory while Zuko slouches in his seat being defeated. The scenery changes now having the backdrop of the Southern Air Temple.
Actress Aang looks around and spots something "Hey look, I think I found something." She grabs it from behind the fake bush then shows a puppet of momo on her shoulder "It's a flying rabbit monkey. I think I'll name him, Momo." And giggles
Azula's face looks like she's just seen the biggest idiot on the planet "It's a flying lemur you dumbass. Not a flying rabbit monkey"
Female Aang then makes the Momo puppet take to the audience "Hi, everybody. I love you."
The audience laughs while Aang sighs in frustration and rubbing his temple trying to calm down. The scenery changes again now everyone is on Kyoshi Island where Sokka dresses like one of the Kyoshi Warriors.
Actor Sokka walks backwards showing his backside to actress Suki "Does this dress make my butt look fat ?"
Everyone laughs at this including Suki who is putting her hand over her mouth trying to stop herself then she looks over at Sokka who's blushing. Then the scene changes again with our actors now inside the Omashu facing King Bumi.
"Riddles and challenges must you face, if you are ever to leave this place." Fake Bumi said laughing.
The Actors of Aang and Sokka are seen avoiding a large rock and a man in a Flopsie suit. While actress Katara is surround by the prop crystals and sighs dramatically. The real Katara looks and sticks her tongue out in disbelief.
As time went on, the scenery changes again with the backdrop of a pirate ship. In center of the stage the three actors get surround by pirates. Then the pirates swarm around them pretending to attack them. But the actors got away and started tiptoeing away.
"Why did you have to steal that waterbending scroll ?" Fake Sokka asked
"It just gave me so much hope!" she says and starts to cry
Katara looks at her annoyed by the fake crying while Azula on the other hand looked very amused. "Wow stealing, didn't see that one coming honestly" she said quietly and kept watching.
Moments pass and the backdrop changes again. There they see female Aang captured by the fire nation and actor Zuko.
"The Avatar is mine!" the actor spoke victoriously the spots something "Wait, who's coming?"
The spot light shines on a man wearing a large mask almost covering his whole body "I am the Blue Spirit. The scourge of the Fire Nation here to save the Avatar."
Then he runs over to the actors and knocks out all the fire nation soldiers. Then actor Zuko shots fake flames at him but the Blue Spirit avoids it and scares him away.
"My hero." The female Aang said then drop down landing on his head then they walk off stage.
The real Aang and Zuko look at each other from the corner of their eye making a look of disappointment and embarrassment knowing full and well that didn't exactly how it happened. After that event the scenery changes to a forest area with tree house in them. Then Actress Katara and Actor Jet come into the picture with the actress crying.
"Don't cry, baby. Jet will wipe out that nasty town for you." He said holding her close
Then right when he said that the fake town was covered by blue sheets representing water.
"Oh Jet, you're so bad." She said
Toph giggles at this while Katara covers part of her face in embarrassment. "I am so glad Azula not here to see this. She might have had thoughts about this." Azula raises a brow and rubbing her chin "So she does have a thing for bad boys. So does this mean I turn her on when I act bad?" She shrugs "I have her now so I'll find out later."
Later on the scenery changes to the sky and tops of rocky hills. Then the three actors are seen sitting on a wooden version of Appa pretending to be flying through the sky.
"Look, it's The Great Divide. The biggest canyon in the Earth Kingdom." Female Aang said happily
Fake Sokka looks down for a moment then back at her "Meh. Let's keep flying."
As time went on Azula got to see most of the events. But one got her somewhat interesting. The back drop was of the Northern Water Tribe. There Actors Sokka and Yue were holding each other's hands.
"Don't go, Yue. You're the only woman whose ever taken my mind off of food." He kisses her then makes a nasty face "Wait, did you have pickled fish for dinner" the actor asked
"Goodbye, Sokka. I have important Moon duties to take care of." Then she is roped up into the air with her long dress flowing behind. "And yes, I did have pickled fish."
Azula thinks for a moment having a sad thought "I would probably feel depressed if Katara had to leave like that. I kinda feel sorry for her brother now." She leans back into her seat "Oh well maybe he'll find someone else like that Kyoshi chick they hang around with."
Meanwhile Suki looks at Sokka grinning "You never told me you made out with the Moon Spirit."
Sokka quickly puts his finger against her lips "Shh. I'm trying to watch." He said trying not to cry.
Minutes passed as tiny wooden ships were being dragged along the floor. Replaying the scene of the Fire Nation fleeing the Northern Water Tribe. Then a foot stomps on a tip ship.
"The Avatar is back to save the day! Yay!" Fake Aang said while wearing a large blue fish suit jumping around stomping on the ship or kicking them away. But when she stomps on the last one she trips and falls.
The curtains close quickly and everyone applause for the first act. Toph laughs happily and claps her hands, Katara stares bewildered after seeing the actress fall, Aang groans and slouches forward hiding his face, Zuko hides his face as well by covering it with his hood, and Sokka palms his face upset by act one while Suki watches everyone's reaction.
Azula on the other hand sat there giving a 'what the fuck' kind of look. Feeling disappointed of how this show is not going so well. "Can't wait to see what I look like" and with that she got up and went to get a snack to pass the time for act two.
