Previously: "YESSSSSSSSSSS!" Toph screams and we all look at her and laugh a little bit and Toph nervously laughs "Sorry I just really like that play" and she sits back down.


Aang's POV

The director smiles "Well I am glad to hear that and now we will go one at a time you will say who you want to be and you will sing one song from the musical." He picks up a clipboard "Toph Beifong" he says

"Oh yeah I am blind so I can't be in it but I am a great piano player and I was wondering if I could play it with the band during the play?" She says hopefully

"Yeah give it a shot and do you want me to direct you do the piano." he says kindly to my friend and she simply nods her head yes and he shows her where it is and she plays a beautiful instrumental of Burn I turn my head to the side where Sokka is sitting next to me and he looks like he is gushing. Wait does he like Toph and then I notice Suki who was sitting next to him grab his hand and he looks at her and smiles. Who does this guy like?

"Wow, you did amazing and yes of course you can play the piano for the play." He claps and Toph smiles. He looks at his clipboard "Next up Sokka." 

"Hi I am Sokka it rhymes with okka and young ladies' I rocked ya" I saw Suki and Toph blush, what is happening. and when he made that joke no one laughed "Ok, tough crowd well I would like to go for Lafayette/Jefferson." 

"Ok well I will set up the background music"

It plays and the audio of Leslie Odom Jr. playing through the speaker 

"How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
Somehow defeat a global superpower?
How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross' flag higher?
Yo, turns out we have a secret weapon
An immigrant, you know and love, who's unafraid to step in
He's constantly confusin', confoundin' the British henchmen
Ev'ryone give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman"

"Lafayette!"

Sokka starts rapping

"I'm takin' this horse by the reins makin'
Redcoats redder with bloodstains"

The backing track 

"Lafayette!"

He raps actually good I have to admit

"And I'm never gonna stop until I make 'em
Drop and burn 'em up and scatter their remains, I'm"
"Lafayette!"
"Watch me engagin' em! Escapin' em!
Enragin' em! I'm-"
"Lafayette!"
"I go to France for more funds"
"Lafayette!"
"I come back with more gunsAnd ships
And so the balance shifts"

Chris Jackson sings through the track

"We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts"

Sokka sings pretty good

"We can end this war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
For this to succeed, there is someone else we need"
"I knowHamilton!"

He can do a really good French accent while rapping

"Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean-"
"Hamilton!"
"Sir, you're gonna have to use him eventually
What's he gonna do on the bench ami?"
"Hamilton!"

He dances around and vibes with it 

"No one has more resilience
Or matches my practical tactical brilliance"
"Hamilton!
"You wanna fight for your land back?"
"Hamilton!"
"I need my right-hand man back!""Ah! Uh, get ya right-hand man, back
You know you gotta get ya right-hand man back
I mean you gotta put some thought
Into the letter but the sooner the better
To get your right-hand man back"
