014. [video]
[Camera turns on.
Zuko lifts up the mask he is wearing and glances furtively before pushing a number of buttons that beep throughout the broadcast.]
I wonder if there’s a way I can use this to...
[Sudden movement as it is used as a mirror, turning toward a field with haystacks and obstacle-like objects. It is a paint ball field.]
No Megan.
[Megan can be heard off screen, and oh viewers you can almost hear her rolling her eyes.]
Hurry it up, Z, or I will just start shooting you right here.
My name is not Z! [sigh and sudden realization he’s given his position away]
Camera jumbles around images as Zuko shoots cover fire and runs to an end of the field. You barely see other kids running around also shooting. Megan tries to follow behind him, but she manages to get shot a few times with paintballs. She slides in next to him, and grumbles because those suckers hurt.]
We are supposed to be working TOGETHER. You know TEAM WORK. Have you ever been on a team?! [Oh please, Megan, like you have.] You are losing brownie points. I just want you to know that.
[Zuko looks incredulous at an angle.]
Wait, is this how this game works? Because it seemed like everyone was shooting for themselves. Including you! [pause]
Are we getting brownies after this?
[Megan laughs.] Oh my GOD. You're so like Laura. [She pauses because something BRILLIANT has come to her!] Are you guys like dating? Is that why you're on this "vision quest" or whatever together?
[A slight look of shock on Zuko's face before he drops both the camera and his gun, shooting himself in the process.]
What?! No, she's not my girlfriend. We're not dating.
[There is just a lot more laughter now. Sorry, Zuko.] Laura and Zuko, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Stop that. She is NOT my girlfriend. She was my sister in that delusion thing. She kills alligators.
[Zuko grabs up his gear as they walk off the field. The camera is back in his hand and he inspects it.]
I think the boy doth protest too much.
Why are you talking like that? You're stranger than Laura. Oh, I've been letting this run.
Well, now everyone can know the truth about your looooove~
She's not my girlfriend! [Zuko glowers menacingly. Unfortunately, it only makes it seem like Megan's grinning wider. He starts rubbing his chest.] These paint balls hurt. Is this part of the fun you like you talk about?
All that matters is that you were totally enjoying yourself, Z.
[He is pained while admitting this.] Yeah, this is fun.
[The look Megan gives him is simply triumphant.] Told you so.
[He opens his mouth about to grumble some more until he looks down at his communicator all of a sudden.] Who is Rapunzel?
[Wait what.] Uh...fairy tale character who has really long hair and lives up in a tower because of some evil witch?
I have to go see her. Right now.
You're weird, Z, but whatever. My point about fun has been made.
Wait, she's imaginary? Hold on. [Zuko peers into his communicator.] If you are Rapunzel, please tell me where you are right now. [turns back to Megan] Fine, you want me to say it? You were right.
[pause] I think I have to leave now. I really have to find this Rapunzel.
[Megan rolls her eyes as the feed cuts.]
