"I now pronounce you Shadowbender and Earthbender!"
Aang cried. It had been 9 years. Said Shadowbender peeled back her veil. 9 years of trial and tribulations. They had finally made it. Together. They were finally going to be together. Kuse stared into her sightless, yet beautiful green eyes. She was his goddess. It had only been mere seconds, but in a swift movement, Toph was holding him back. It was the wrong way around. Their lips met sealing the final vows… She pulled him back up and he leaned his head against hers.
"You did it wrong."
He teased, chuckling. Everyone else was. The blind earthbender grinned.
"And?"
They quickly walked down the aisle together. The best men had been Zuko, Sokka and Best Dog, Chiel. The Bridesmaids: Katara, Suki and Mai.
After the party, it would be just them.
She was already pregnant, but only by a few weeks. By the next year in Republic city, they would have their first child. Toph was hoping for a girl to carry out the legacy on her side. Kuseron was hoping for twins. They'd have the slight chance of getting a girl and a boy.
The Party was over when everyone else had passed out from the celebratory wine. They were abstaining from the drink.
"Lady Beifong." Kuse murmured, holding out his hand to her.
Toph took it, standing and quickly pulling her hair out of the veil. Her hair was ever so long, almost to her waist. He liked it that way. They had also decided to keep their original surnames. She would still be Chief Beifong in Republic City. He'd still be the ever-elusive Armadillo-Wolf. Half of the force had freaked out when he had proposed her to and as the Armadillo-Wolf.
The Metalbenders had tried to take him into custody but Toph had called them to be at ease. They just had never been told about the whole undercover thing. He was basically an undercover cop. He led her out the door and onto the balcony of the church.
"I'm so glad that's over."
"I am too."
"I didn't think I'd have a chance to have a moment alone with you since Katara, Mai, Suki, and Ty lee were keeping you away from me…"
"Want go someplace else?"
"Why not?"
He leaned in to kiss her. She responded with a slight laugh. You could say he had grown somewhat of a small beard. She called it the 'damn tickling thing'. Toph wrapped her arms around his waist, and they both disappeared through a small black portal.
You may begin to notice that there are changes beginning to happen with this story, and it's true. I'm beginning to edit this story as I work on it further when I reach Chapter 11. I'll also be working on turning this back into a T rated story, but I am doubtful that it will happen. It depends… My life's been quite busy with juggling life, a job and everything else that comes with living, but I'm not giving up on this story.
