This is my second fanfic :D yay. My first one sucks cause I accidently uploaded it before I was done with it, but you can still read the first draft if you want (I say ',and' in about every sentence. It's called Hope :).
I ship Taang. I'm sort of for Zutara, only because it goes along with Taang. I also ship Sokka/Sukki (dunno the ship name?). I just don't believe Katara and Aang belong together for the same reasons everyone else does. Also, Katara isn't my favorite character in the series, so whenever I write about her she's always just the one that gets in the way of Toph and Aang's relationship, like this one for example :)
In the winter, I always have to put my head down whenever the snow blows in my face.
It sucks. It just really sucks. I can never get a chance with this kid! I mean, I know we're in the middle of a war and everything, but it's been way too long! You'd think by now he'd know that I like him, but he doesn't. He's too busy looking at that Sugar Queen.
I can't help it if I'm only the same age as him. I forgot that I had to be at least a couple years older. There's no way I can compete with this girl. Especially when its fighting over an air-head.
Let's take last week for an example: It was a slow day that day. We didn't have any big life-changing adventure to do, surprisingly, so Aang and I could finally catch up on his earthbending.
Honestly, I really enjoy teaching Twinkle Toes how to earthbend. It's the only time that I can truly spend time with him without anyone else getting in the way. Just me and him. No one else. I thought it was going to be a really nice day. It would just be the two of us; alone, for the first time. But things just didn't work out that way.
She just had to pass us for some stupid reason that I don't care about. Whatever the reason was, it didn't seem that important.
Then, she had to say, "Hi, Aang!" with that girly, high-pitched voice she has whenever she's with him. I felt Aang's heartbeat strengthen and accelerate at the same time, all too visible for my feet.
I dropped my head at that point. I felt a chill travel down my spine. I didn't know if that was from my jealousy or from the weather. Being blind, and all, I couldn't tell what the forecast was very easily.
Out of nowhere, I hear him call my name.
"Toph?" he asked.
I didn't really know how to respond without giving away any of my jealousy.
"Are you okay?"
"Of course I'm okay!"
I really didn't mean to yell like that. That's just how it came out.
I went back to teaching mode as fast as I could so I could pretend that nothing ever happened. I was back in my stance before he could say anything back. I'm sure he was confused about why I was acting so weird. Boys are so clueless!
Yeah, that day sucked, too. Today, believe it or not, was worse then that.
So it all started with a simple "Hey!" from the Sugar Queen. It pissed me off: Alone with Aang without giving him an earthbending lesson - I thought I was dreaming! We were having a normal conversation! But Katara had to butt her ass in just because she saw us two alone together. It pissed me off.
"I was talking! You were interrupting," I snapped loud and clear.
For a second, I thought she left - but no. That was too good to be true.
"Oh. . . I'm sorry. What were you saying?"
A larger vibration was sent through my legs (I was sitting with them crossed). She had to sit right in between us!
"Nothing that's anything important."
I had to force my mouth shut after that comment. Instead of the pain coming out of my mouth, it wanted to leak out of my eyes.
I got up and marched off. I know I shouldn't of, but I had to. I couldn't just sit there and cry like some kind of whimp!
I imagined Aang and Katara having looks on their faces like they thought I was crazy. It just made me even more sad.
("What the hell did you do that for?" Aang asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Do what?" Katara asked, supposevly being oblivious.)
So, that's it for the first one! This definately isn't a oneshot. There'll be lots more so I can actually get to their relationship and add some fluff to their lives :)
The quote just sounds cool. It's supposed to resemble a blizzard during a cold winter day. The wind (air) and the snow (water) are together during a blizzard, while the ground (earth) has to be buried under the snow. Although, the quote I made is about a person walking through a blizzard, but only so it's alittle similar to the first situation Toph explains about.
Review??
