"I just cry for no reason, I just pray for no reason
I just thank for the life, for the day, for the hours and another life breathin'
I did it all 'cause it feel good
You could live it all if you feel bad
Better live your life
We are running out of time"

In sync, Aang and Zuko take a step forward and throw their arms down, firebending at the same time. They stretch out their right leg in front of them, firebending again. They proceed to stretch it behind them and they push out their left arm out in a "Superman" pose as they firebend with that arm. They put their legs down and exhale audibly, putting their arms in a cooling down position and bowing to each other.

"No No No No No!" Katzumi yells

The two look towards her

"Blast a shot" Katzumi orders

"What?"Aang asks

"Blast a shot"She orders again

Aang compiles a blast a shot towards the ground. The fire explodes and a potted plant nearby caches on fire. Katzumi shakes her head

"Your fire is too wild....maybe if you didn't learn from my incompetent brother.."
Zuko gave her a menacing glare but Katzumi glared right back

"Doesn't it seem kinda weird that we're hiding (looks around the courtyard) from the Fire Lord in his own house?" She asks

"We told you, our 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." Zuko explains. Katzumi glances at Zuko before looking at Katara

"You guys are not going to believe this. There's a play about us." Sokka walks in with suki a scroll in his hand

"We were just in town and we found this poster."

Sokka unveils the poster to them

"What? How is that possible?" Katara asks

"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."

"Brought to you by the critically acclaimed Ember Island Players." Suki ends

Sokka lets go of the scroll's bottom and it curls back.

"Ugh. My Mother used to take us to see them. They butchered "Love Amongst The Dragons" every year."

"What? I liked it" Katzumi shrugged

"Sokka, do you really think it's a good idea for us to attend a play about ourselves?" Katara asks

"Come on, a day at the theatre?This is the kind of wacky time wasting nonsense I've been missing."


The gang take their spots in the nosebleed section

"Why are we sitting in the nosebleed section? My feet can't see a thing from up here." Toph says

"Don't worry, I'll tell your feet what's happening." Katara whispers and the play begins to start

The curtain is drawn up to reveal a prop of a canoe surrounded by moving set decorations of water. The backdrop is a crude painting of icebergs. The Katara and Sokka actors are rowing the canoe with their oars.
