I have absolutely nothing to do with AtLA or Nickleodeon.
Toph likes Jet
It's Not Like I Think He's Cute
Toph took her best Lilly Livers, I mean students, with her on a fieldtrip to Ba Sing Se; Toph was visiting her mother. They were supposed to meet at The Jasmine Dragon for lunch at midday. Toph had a few hours to kill so she wandered the streets listening for possible metal bending students. As she wandered she heard the voice of the guy, Jet that she had met several years ago.
Toph knew he was not really a good guy but there was just something about him that appealed to her. Toph had no clue what it was about him that made breath catch and heart skip a beat 'it's not like I think he's cute' she thought. Without realizing it, Toph had started following him. She had been carrying a small stone that she whittled away at while she followed him, thinking about him. After about five minutes of following him he made a sudden and unexpected turn down an ally; Toph realized that she had been caught so she played if off by continuing along down the street passing the ally he had turned down.
"Excuse me." Someone said from behind her. Her heart pounded, she'd been caught. "Why are you following me?" He asked her.
"I wasn't following you. I wasn'as just walking along... no particular direction." Toph said hoping he wouldn't discover he true motive, of her little crush. She's had this little crush since she was about twelve years old.
"No, you're following me I circled the same block three times. You are following me!" Jet's voice sounded gruff with a hint of anger.
"Look... okay... this is a bit awkward... yes I was following you..." Toph barely was able to say before she got interrupted by him.
"You're that Earthbender friend of Avatar Aang's. What did he send you to check on me, to make sure I was staying out of trouble? I can't believe he would do something like this." Jet was furious now.
"No! Okay? No!" Toph was so angry that she started yelling at him, "look away I like you... I have no idea why, I just do! You jerk! Give me your hand!" She demanded.
He put his hand out, a little leary of why she might want to see his hand.
"Here, I made this while I was following you." She blushed as she put the stone in his hand, shook her head, still confused why she felt like this. She closed his hand around it then turned around and walked away.
When he opened his hand he saw a heart shaped stone in his hand.
