Toph was sitting in the cave like always having nothing to do.All day she would wait for aang to come home from "school".all she would do is wait while katara practiced her water bending and sokka whent out for food.even though katara was right outside she never bothers to talk to her.She dusent hate katara but she just dident like her to much for two reasons.one: shes bossy and two:aang had a crush on her.Toph started to get feeling for aang ever since they met.aang didn't see her as a blind girl that he always had to protect but he saw her as an equil.she was happy about that because no one ever treated her like that.she never shows it because she thinks shes to tough to have those kind of feelings.but it was there.
She waited on a small mound of earth she bended so she could lay down.she started to day dream of what aang looked like. Since he had new hair he must look difrent. Vibrations would travels right through a person so she could sorta see them but hair didn't travel through hair to good she keeps wondering what he looks like now.toph thought 'I wonder if he looks any beter…he looked fine befor but with hair? Hmm he might look better…and more cute and more hands- ugh! Toph get a hold of your self you don't need thies stupid feelings!'.she got up from her earth bed and jumped to the cave ground.she still senced that katara was out side and sokka wasent back yet and nether was aang but she never knew if aang was home or not cus he always flies in thus giving him the name "twinkle toes". She whent outside trying to find something to do when she suddenly felt a gust of wind rush past her.at first she thought it was just the wind but it was acualy aang fling in.
She went back into the cave and saw someone was in it and of course it was aang. "hey toph! school was great today! We learned about the weaponry behind the fire lords palace gate im sure that will come in handy." Aang said sitting down on the earth bed toph was resting on
Toph walked twordes aang and sat next to him "anything else you do but do all that boring studying?" toph asked
"oh umm….durring lunch I sat with angie and her friends. I don't think her boyfriend was to happy about that."aang said
Toph thought about the night befor when angie came for the dance party.she got to dance with aang for a lil but it was better then nothing.aang even danced with katara for a full dance.toph thought to herself "why didn't you dance with me….ugh what am I saying I don't want to dance with him come on snap out of it!".
Angg looked at her and something seemd to be troubling her. "whats wrong?" he said with a slight sad face.
"oh its nothing just thinking about something." Toph said looking at aang
" oh…uhh…alright…." He said with small worry in the face.he knew something was troubling her he just dident know what.
The next day aang was getting ready for school.aang put his school vest on and was about to leave when a hand grabed his arm. It was toph. she said "umm….aang do ya mind I go with ya to school today? Its so boring here and I got nothing to do." She said letting go of his arm.
"haha sure why not toph but the teachers there are reallt striked so I wouldent give em any aditude." He said with a smile
"why is there a problems with my aditude twinkle toes?" she said with an eritated look.aang looked at his feet
"n-no! that's not what I meant! Its just you know you can get a bit touchy…"he said with a lil sacredness in her face.
"what you you mean I can be a little touchy!?" she said raising her voice almost yelling
"ahhh just forget I said anything im sorry! Im sorry!" he said with a bit more fear
"twinkle toes you can fight a fire bender fight a big serpent monster and took on a huge drill and your afraid of me? What a wimp." She said like nothing had happened
" haha….ya well…uhh you gana come with me or what?" he said heading twords the cave entrence
" I guess but how we gana get there?" she asked wondering
"we fly of course" aang said with a smile
" whoa aang you know I hate flying! I cant see anything!" she said with a bit of fear and anger
" don't worry toph you just got to hold on tight I promis I wont let you fall" he said with the same trust that anyone has
Aang took out his glider wich he re made from the old tree and the fabric of their old cloths.when he opened it had blue silk for the webbing of the glider and the handle of the glider was red wood so it was strong and woldent break.
Toph didn't like the idea of flying. The only way for her to see was by earth and she wouldent see at all if her feet weren't on the ground. She would be in udder darkness.
" are you sure aang….you know I cant see when im in the air I don't even feel good when we ride on appa..." she said with a slight fear in her tone.she dident seem to happy about it
" toph don't worry you can trust me. I wont let go I promis." Said aang still with the trust in his voice.he stuck out his hand so that toph could hang on.
Toph didn't know what to do. Should she stay here and wait for aang like every day? Or should she go with him to school and have something to do with aang?
She thought 'oh man…what do I do…I want to go with aang but I want to see whwre I go to….but my friends are more important then my sight…and I really want to go with aang…'
"alright twinkle toes I trust you but if you drop me your face is going into the ground with me" she said hiding in fear in her voice.
"don't worry toph you can trust me I promis" he said with his hand still out
Toph stepped forward and grabbed aang's hand and when she did she could feel her heart race faster. Aang grabs her around the waist and held tight. This made toph blush a bit she looked away and aang got his glider ready.he opened it up and grabbed the handle on his glider and one hand around toph. they started to lift off the floor and toph leg sprung up on anngs leg witch made her blush even more. Aang was showing red to but dident have to hide it because she knew toph couldn't see his face. They got faster and higher and as they got higher toph griped tighter. She had her eyes shut tight even though she couldent see it feel beter when she did
Aang was to busy staying above the clouds so no one would see him.he had to go fast just in case some one did see him. Once they got to the city aang quicky zoomed in to the ground.they rolled behind a bush and toph was still gripping on aang and her eyes were still shut tight.top opend her eyes and put her feet to the ground.she could see again.she felt around to make sure she was back on the ground and she was releaved she was.she then realized she was still gripping aang wich made her blush again and so did aang.they looked at each other even though toph couldn't see her body made her look into aangs eyes.she came to her censes and let go of aang and jumped up. "hey keep your paws off me twinke toes!" she said still blushing a bit.
Aang got up and put his staff under the bush. "sorry toph…but you were the one holding on to me" he said in a silent foce.
Toph blushed even more and she finally stomped past aang. "come on we going to school or not!" she said
"umm toph" and said
"what is it now?" she said.
"schools that way" aang said poining in the apposite direction.
They got to the school and aang and toph headed down the halls of the school. Sicne the floor was wood toph could see but just not as clearly as usual.she had a good picture of where everything was but just a lil fizzy but aside from that she was fine.they got to the room and went inside.it was still a early so only a few people were there. Denku(the chubby kid) kito (the one that oferd to play "hide and explode") a few other kids and angie.they were all at angies desk looking thought their text book.angie looked up and her face lit up when she saw aang
"hey kuzon!" said all three of them at the same time
"hey guys whats up?" aang said.
"denku "accidentally" burned his home work while he was practicing blaze ball with denku" she said looking at denku with a playfull disappointed look.
"hey it was an accident! I left my door open and the ball flew on my bag!" denku said.
"haha sure what ever you say denku" kito said elbowing denku
"anyway we're trying to get his homework back together before class starts." Angie said.
toph was right behind aang not saying a word.she could feel most eyes on her.
"hey kuzon whos that behind you?" said denku and all of them leand to the left to see who was behind aang.
" oh right! This is uuhhhh….." aang said but stopped to think of a name
"t-…..ty-lee. My name is ty-lee" toph said
"ya her names ty-lee.ty-lee theis are my friends" aang said
"nice to meet you im denku" denku said
"same here im kito" he said with a smile
" my name is angie nice to meet you"she said
"uhhh nice to meet you" toph said seeming a lil shy.
