ATTENTION: This fan fiction piece contains SPOILERS FOR THE EPISODE "THE WESTERN AIR TEMPLE" which is the episode after the Day of Black Sun. I'm sure all of you rock-hard Avatards have already scoured Youtube and seen it five times by this point… But I'm just warning you.
"No, Momo! Bad Momo!" scolded Sokka as Momo grabbed one of the ink brushes that Sokka had been using to doodle on the edge of his Fire Nation map. He chased the lemur around the camp briefly, before Momo cheated and lifted himself into the air. "Fine! You can have it! Lemurs can't write!"
"What are you using that map for anyway? I know the Fire Nation like the back of my hand." Came the low voice of Zuko, who was lounging in the shade of a small tree. He stood, and walked over to where Sokka left the map. He sat next to it, and pointed to a small city. "This is no longer occupied… this is out of water… this place is crawling with guards… here would be a good place to stop… and here… definitely not here…"
It wasn't long before Katara and Aang waded out of the water, and stood next to Zuko as he pointed to different areas of the map. Sokka made a face, and sat down next to Toph instead. "I'm the map guy. Thinks he can just come in and steal my job."
Toph stopped picking at the dirty soles of her feet, and instead stretched out onto the grass. "Aww. Is Ponytail getting jealous of the Ex-Ponytail?" she taunted, and laughed.
"No! I'm just saying… what am I supposed to do with all of my free time? I can't map, I can't bend, I can't –"
"You could quit whining and go get us some more food!" Came the sudden voice of Sokka's sister, as her attention briefly strayed from the map. She had her hands on her hips, and was pointing in the direction of town.
Sokka groaned, but stood anyway. "Come on, Toph," he said, picking up his bag as he started to exit camp. "Let's go."
"What do you mean, 'Come on, Toph?' I'm not going with you. I don't want to go to the stupid town." She said, sitting up in the grass and frowning. She seemed awfully defiant today, and was randomly lashing out whenever Katara asked her to go do something.
"If you're not going to look at the map with the rest of them, then you get to come with me. Whose side are you on, Toph? Mine or Ex-Ponytail's?" Sokka questioned, slinging his bag over his shoulder.
Toph made a face, but stood anyway. "You'll regret this when you wake up tomorrow and find yourself surrounded by walls of rock."
"I won't regret taking you with me, Toph. I never do. Except that one time you hit me…" Sokka grumbled as the two headed towards the small town.
