Tokka Randomness

(I don't own Avatar the Last Airbender.)


After writing many tokka oneshots after a burst of inspiration, I decided to combine them into a whole story that lives up to its name; Randomness. There will be many that take place during or after the war. Plus each one will have a unique theme to it that I will mention in the above chapters. So I hope you enjoy the many awkward/sweet/adorable moments that happen to my favorite characters.


Young Innocence

A few months after the war, Toph awoke up from a nightmare about the battles she and the rest of the Avatar gang had faced. The sound of victims' screams echoed in her ears and she herself cried out in fear.

Now awake, her ears listened to the land around them. She gave a sigh of relief when only the snores of her friends and the breeze blowing among the trees were heard. They were all safe…for now at least.

"Toph, are you alright?" Sokka asked. He had woken from her cries and went to see if she was okay.

Toph was silent for a moment. "I'm fine…I just had a nightmare that's all. It's no big deal. Go back to sleep Snoozles. I'm not some weakling who can't handle herself."

"Who said you were weak? If you are, then we all are because we've all had nightmares of the war. It's only natural after what we did to achieve peace." Sokka said softly.

"Yeah…well I guess you're right." She grumbled. Sokka went over to her and gave her a hug, much to her surprise. Toph's face blushed red and she pushed him away instinctively.

"Why did you do that for? I said I was fine!" Toph exclaimed.

Sokka sighed. "I know…but I'm not fine. Maybe I'm the one who needs comfort. I had a nightmare too and it was worse because I had dreamed I had lost you."

He hugged her even tighter and this time Toph hugged him back. She no longer felt so scared, and she closed her eyes. For the first time in many days, she had sweet dreams.


When you're gone

When the war ended, Toph had thought all the battles and fighting were finally over. Now she was eighteen years old and the times of traveling with the avatar were done. Yet even though she was happily married to Sokka, things were not always peaceful…. She realized that the day Aang returned to tell them the bad news. Azula had started a rebellion and now Fire Lord Zuko needed help.

She had wanted to fight but Sokka held her back. "You don't think I'm going to let you go, when you're expecting our baby do you? I will come back…I promise. Just stay safe. Besides, you can always stay with Katara if you get too lonely."

Toph had argued back but deep down, she knew he was right. Still it didn't seem fair. The months he was gone felt like years, and she had never felt so angry and lonely at the same time. The house they lived in felt so empty with Sokka gone.

After a few months, Toph began to get impatient. Why wasn't he coming back yet? Their baby was going to be born any day now and she needed him more then ever! Had he forgotten her?

Katara comforted the young mother, telling her Sokka and Aang would be home soon. That only made Toph anxious, especially when her time came to deliver.

The young woman cried out as she felt the labor pains and tightly shut her eyes. Katara gave her words of encouragement and a familiar hand clasped onto hers. Startled, Toph realized that it was him.

"Sokka? What are you doing here?" She cried out in surprise.

Sokka kissed her softly and whispered. "I said I would come back didn't I?"

Toph just grinned happily, even when the pain was becoming its worst. It didn't matter though, because the baby girl she gave birth too and the man she loved was with her. It seemed that after all the waiting, it was worth it.


Just So Sick

Many years after the war, things had settled down for the Avatar gang.

Katara and Aang had gotten married and went to live at the Southern Air Temple, while Sokka had gone to live with Suki on Kyoshi Island. With her friends settling down into their new lives, Toph had decided to travel throughout the Earth Kingdom, to strengthen her skills.

Of course her friends had begged her to stay with them but Toph had stubbornly refused. She didn't want to be around the lovers…especially when it came to Sokka. He was the worst because he had pleaded even harder then Aang and Katara.

Even though her heart wanted to stay, she couldn't. He had Suki and she had to get over this stupid persistent crush she had on him. Besides it would just make her reminisce of their times together and her tears would unwillingly fall.

So Toph traveled around the Earth Kingdom, showing off her strength in Earth Rumble Matches. Yet all the excitement bored her. She was so sick of it all… and she missed Sokka more then ever.

Yet when Aang had come to announce that a rebellion was taking place, she knew she had to go. It had turned out the Fire Nation rebels were on the move again and Sokka had been captured.

Now after all these years, Toph was so sick of feeling helpless about her feelings. She knew now that it didn't matter whether he loved her or not… All that mattered was that he was in trouble and she was going to help him….whether he be her friend or her lover.

Maybe because Toph knew she would always love him, no matter what.


The Crush

Toph knew something was different with Sokka almost right away. The only problem was that she didn't exactly know what it was. It didn't make any sense, really.

When ever she wanted to be around him, he didn't speak much. Sokka acted as if he hadn't known she was there but even so, Toph could almost sense him watching her.

It was kind of creepy but for all she knew it was her imagination. Was something bothering him? If so, why didn't he talk to her about it? He was her best friend for crying out loud!

Well, since he was giving her the silent treatment, Toph decided to ask Katara and Aang. They unfortunately were no help, what so ever. They either tried to lie or simply said he would tell her when he was ready. When he was ready? What the heck was going on around here?!

If he wanted to play it like some stupid game fine! Toph knew it wasn't a big deal, but she couldn't hide her concern. Like it or not, she had feelings for that big oaf and she was getting sick of pretending that she didn't care.

Later during evening, all was quiet. Toph took a deep breath and decided to try again and ask what was wrong. Surprisingly he was acting all excited, much different then earlier that day.

"Hey Toph? Can I talk to you? It's about how I was acting earlier, I just want to apologize. You see I was nervous and…" Sokka began but was cut off promptly by Toph.

"You were nervous? What about me? I've been worried sick about you all day! No one tells me anything around here, less they lie about it! Now you better tell me the truth or I'm going to bend you into the ground!"

Sokka laughed a little. "Did I really worry you that much? Well give a guy a break. It's kind of nerve racking, getting ready to admit that you love your best friend!"

Toph was silent for a few moments. "You…were going to tell me that you loved me?"

"I really do, I'm just not very good at admitting it." Sokka said softly. "If you don't feel the same way…I completely understand. I guess I was just being an idiot."

"Yeah, you are an idiot." Toph said, before bending him into the ground. "You are an idiot because I have always loved you. After ten years, it took you this long to get a clue?"

"Hey! Why did you bend me in the Earth for? I thought you said you loved me?" Sokka whined, as he squirmed trying to get out the hole Toph had bended him in.

"Two reasons, first to do this." Toph began. She leaned over and kissed him hard on the lips. Sokka looked a little dazed and surprised but never the less happy.

"What's the second reason?" He asked blissfully.

Toph smirked. "The second reason is that this is what you deserve for worrying me so much. I don't like seeing the person I love act like someone had died when you were only going to tell me what was long over due! You will stay here until you have learned your lesson."

She started walking away, leaving a flustered Sokka behind. "Toph! Don't go!" He whined. After a few minutes he added "Can at least have another kiss?"
