Song: Thumbs by Sabrina Carpenter

"Somewhere in the world there is a father and a mother.

And the father is a son who has a mother.

The mother has a daughter, who gets married to the brother of the mother.

And they're all just tryna multiply with one another."

Mia sang as both Kiri and Tuk sat up, so did she.

"Cause that's just the way of the world

It never ends 'til the end and then you start again

That's just the way of the world.


That's just the way of the world.

Somewhere in the world, they think they're working for themselves.

They get up every day to go to work for someone else.

And somebody works for them and so they think they got it made.

But they're all just working to get paid the very same"


OUTSIDE...

" I asked to make peace, not make trouble!" Jake scolded Lo'ak.  Lo'ak ears drooped while he clenched his fists.

" Dad, I was trying to make friends! Like you told me!" he shot back angrily.

" Lo'ak!" Neytiri hissed. Neteyam held up both of his hands.

" It was my fault sir," Neteyam started to say when his father shut him up.

" Neteyam, enough."

Jake started to lecture his youngest son when he heard singing.

" And so, they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs."

He stopped, wondering. Whose singing was this?

Lo'ak looked around in confusion. Neytiri glanced outside, was it a Metkayina? No, that was impossible. This was a song from Earth, a song in English.

Neteyam, however, his ears perked up at the sound. The lovely singing. The sound of the girl he fell for, and he was certain to make her his lover.
