Hey guys, thanks so much for deciding to read this :)

I'm not really planning to make it long. It should only be 2 or 3 chapters. I was going to make it a one-shot but I thought it might get a bit long so, change of plans :D

Katara and Aang are together but it will be Zutara in the end. Promise. I mean, why else would I put it in the 'Katara & Zuko' catagory?

ZUTARA FTW

That is all.

Feeling the familiar vibrations and the voices resounding through the air, Toph narrowed her eyes. This whole thing was really starting to get on her nerves, and she sure as hell knew it wasn't just her that was getting annoyed. She smirked slightly as she felt Zuko turn away and pretend to be occupied with the perfectly pitched tent. She didn't blame him though; although he had different reasons to be unhappy about the situation, it was frankly starting to be downright irritating.

'I'll do the cooking Katara! You should just sit down and rest!' Aang's bubbly voice rang out as he reached out and took Katara's hand. She just smiled slightly before being pulled down to sit down, and Aang started waterbending the soup in the cooking pot.

'Is there anything else I can do? Tell me anything okay? I want to do anything to be able to help you,' Aang smiled brightly while mixing the soup as Katara managed to let out a laugh.

Toph rolled her eyes.

And there he goes again, she thought. This whole thing, this whole 'Aang doing everything for Katara' thing was the exact thing that was getting on her nerves. Not just hers, but Sokka and Suki, and for a different reason, Zuko's. Ever since Aang had kissed Katara, and she had kissed back, Aang had suddenly become like a little slave towards her. He was absolutely devoted to Katara, and obviously thrilled to be with the girl of his dreams, but after these past few days his actions were really driving Toph over the edge.

Sure, she didn't hold anything against their relationship, and she was happy for them. I mean, they had just gone through the hugest war in history and she understood that Aang just wanted to do what was best for his girlfriend, but Aang's 'helping out' was going way over the top.

It was always, Katara this, Katara that, Katara wants this, Katara wants that, I'll do this for Katara, I'll do that for Katara. Katara, Katara, Katara.

Toph just wanted to scream in his face to shut up. Even when Katara politely told Aang that he had nothing to do, he just hovered around her and followed her like an obedient puppy. In fact, it would've been much more cuter if he was actually a puppy.

'Oh, don't get up, Katara. Here, I'll get the bowls!' Aang lifted his left hand and used airbending to hover the bowls towards Katara and set them down.

'Thanks, Aang,' Katara smiled tiredly and Aang beamed proudly like a little child who had just been praised by his teacher.

Katara waterbended some soup out of the bowl into her mouth. She seemed satisfied with the taste, but watching Aang mix it so enthusiastically seemed to keep her from stopping him.

Toph irritably earthbended a stone into the rock behind her. It made a shattering noise, making Sokka and Suki (who were pitching another tent) look her way.

'This is getting ridiculous,' she muttered.

It had been a few months since the war, and Aang, Katara, Sokka, Suki, Zuko and Toph had gathered together to camp out for a few nights to relive 'the good ol' days'. The world was at peace, so neither Aang nor Zuko had much to do, and since Zuko still didn't have enough knowledge as Fire Lord to sort out everything, Iroh had taken over for a while and told his nephew to have fun with his friends.

This was only the start of the third day since they had started, and so far, Aang had been like this for the past forty-eight hours. Everyone including Katara was starting to get fed up with his puppy-like love towards her. Toph was starting to think Katara was rethinking about having a relationship with this young Avatar.

Toph's ears perked as she heard Zuko sigh and sit down on the rock in front of the tent. She smiled. Poor little Fire Lord. Having to watch this whole thing unfold in front of him for two days.

She tossed up a pebble and earthbended it towards Zuko.

'Ow!' He cried as it hit him in the back of the head. He turned around and instantly glared at Toph. She simply waved her hand his way. He shook his head.

'And you had to do that, why?' He asked exasperated.

Toph shrugged. 'Don't get so down, Sparky. I swear you're over reacting about this.'

She felt him stiffen at the words and she couldn't help a chuckle. He obviously knew exactly what she was talking about.

'Stay out of it, alright?' He grumbled and turned away again.

Toph, lifted her arms and placed them behind her head, still chuckling,

'Oh yeah, here, Katara. I did this yesterday; found a rock and earthbended it into a mini you!'

And fought back the urge to bend the Avatar into the ground.


That night, Toph found Katara sitting by the water. Actually, she was sitting on the water in the middle of the stream. Toph had no idea how that was happening, but Katara was a Master waterbender; anything was possible. She couldn't make out what she was doing but she could just hear her playing with the water around her.

Smiling, Toph bended the earth under the stream and formed a small path leading next to her. Katara jumped as the earth emerged and Toph walked over to take a seat beside her. She shook her head, smiling.

'Imagine what you could do if you weren't blind, Toph. It scares me,' she said, laughter in her voice.

Any other blind person could have found that comment slightly offending, but Toph didn't mind at all. She liked the fact that Katara and the others didn't treat her differently just because she couldn't see through her eyes.

'I don't know, and I don't care. I would still be the greatest earthbender in the world,' Toph said, and Katara laughed. She couldn't quite make out what Katara was thinking because she wasn't in contact with the earth, and Toph couldn't feel the vibrations, but she knew that she was exhausted. And not just physically.

'So, Katara,' she started.

'Hm?'

'How are you and Aang?' She asked, and could almost feel Katara stiffen beside her.

Nobody had really confronted her about the subject, and it was the most avoided topic between everyone at mealtimes, even if Katara and Aang weren't there. It was just Aang that didn't seem to notice what was going on between everyone else. It was extremely ironic that what he was doing to help Katara was actually making her more tired.

Katara sighed heavily.

'I don't know, Toph. I mean, I love him of course, but lately I don't know if it's just family love or if I'm actually in love with him,' she said.

Toph shrugged. 'Well as far as I'm concerned, your heart doesn't really go racing or do backflips towards Twinkletoes like it does to someone else.'

Katara was silent but Toph knew she was blushing furiously.

'Look, Toph, don't mention that. I know it myself and it makes me feel so bad, considering I'm with Aang,' she said. But Toph just raised her eyebrows.

'Katara, if it doesn't feel right with Aang, you should really tell him,' she said.

'I can't! Do you know how much it will hurt him?' Katara exclaimed.

'I know exactly how much it will hurt him. Spirits, he'll probably go into the Avatar state, but if you don't tell him, it'll just be harder for both of you,' Toph replied. 'And Sparky,' she added under her breath.

Katara put her head in her hands.

'I don't know, Toph,' she said. 'I just really don't know what to do. It's just, to be honest, Aang's behaviour towards me is getting really, well,' she paused. '…Irritating.'

Toph snorted. That wasn't surprising. Anybody who didn't notice that was either so oblivious to anyone around them, or they were Aang.

'No kidding, Katara. I think most of us have been feeling like that. Twinkletoes is the only one who doesn't notice anything because he's to busy being in love with you.'

'I wish this whole thing would just sort itself out. I don't want to hurt Aang. He's, he's done nothing wrong,' Katara mumbled.

Toph looked up towards the sky, though the view wouldn't change.

'You know, Katara. Twinkletoes isn't a baby. If he really cared for you, I think he'll be able to let you go,' Toph said, and paused. 'Not that it won't break his fragile little heart into a million pieces or anything.'

'Wow, thanks for adding that. It really makes me feel better oh Great Earthbender,' Katara said, sarcasm dripping from her voice.

'Hey, anytime,' Toph replied cheerfully.

Katara sighed again and twirled water around her feet.

'I love him, Toph,' she said quietly. 'I really do.'

At that moment, Toph wasn't sure if she was talking about Aang or someone else.


Zutara is just too beautiful for words. WHY WERE YOU NOT CANON.

Ahem. Hope you guys enjoyed that. Sorry there's not much interaction between the 2. Oh, and I just made it from Toph's POV because I just love her and she would be the perfect position for a match-maker ;)

Please review! It would mean the world to me!

Thanks for reading! :D
