This will be based in Book three episode two for ATLA and after BoO for Heroes of Olympus. There will be some differences e.g they write in English in Avatar, don't make Macaroni Fire Lords and of course that Aang didn't grab a school uniform Toph did.
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
Leo (POV)
I wake up with pain everywhere behind some rock.
Where am I? I try to think back to my last memory but find nothing.
"What in Tarterus" I grumble.
"I CALL THE SILK ROBE!" I hear a female voice yell.
I get up to see a bunch of kids stealing off a clothes line.
I look down at my own clothes which are almost completely burnt off.
Okay what the hades is going on?
I run to the clothes line, once the other kids are out of sight and steal myself a black and red suit thing that looked about my size.
I wander around still confused. Okay where am I? I can't remember where I come from but I'm pretty sure everything isn't meant to be red and what is with the cannibal cow?
I see the kids from earlier over by a jewellery stall and start following them. I have nothing better to do plus I might find out where I am.
"I used to visit my friend Kouzon here a hundred years ago, so everyone just follow my lead and stay cool or as they say in the Fire Nation stay flaming" the little Asian kid said.
A hundred years ago?! And what's the fire nation?
I hide behind a stall as I watch the weird kid walk around calling people hot man.
"Oh we're going to a meat place?" the Asian kid complains.
The talk of meat makes me hungry.
"Come on Aang everyone here eats meat, even the meat." The older tanned boy tells the Asian kid, pointing to the cannibal cow.
The Asian kid who the other guy called Aang makes a face in disgust. "You guys go ahead. I'll just get some lettuce out of the garbage."
I go to follow the rest of them into the building not noticing the little Asian girl not with them until I find myself pulled behind the building by my ear.
"ow ow ow." I complain as the little girl pulls on my ear.
"Why are you following us?" she asked pushing me against the wall with a surprising amount of strength.
"Nothing okay!" I reply.
She rolls her eyes, which I notice are glazed over and don't seem to focus anywhere.
She's blind. I'm literally getting my butt kicked by a little blind girl.
She kicks me in the leg. "Stop lying!" she yells.
"FINE! I woke up with no memory saw you and your friends stealing from the clothes line, did the same, and followed you hoping I might find out where I am." I admitted.
"She loosened her grip on me. "You're telling the truth." She said with a hint of disappointment in her voice as if she's sad she didn't get to beat me up.
"How did you catch me?" I ask "You're blind."
"Wow, I hadn't noticed." She says sarcastically, ignoring my question.
I see a few adults coming towards us.
The girl stiffens looking ready for a fight.
"It's over we caught you." The eldest man says.
"I don't know what you're talking about, old man." The girl says with a glare.
He glares back at her. "Mind your tongue, little girl." He hisses.
"Next time you want to play hooky with your girlfriend. You might want to take off your school uniform." He says to me.
I look down at my clothes. I would have preferred if he arrested me. Anything but school!
The girl looks slightly relieved next to me.
The adults try to grab us.
The girl ducks before kicking the eldest in the nuts. He falls over in pain.
I burst out laughing.
The other adults grab us looking angry but the girl doesn't bother fighting back this time.
We're pushed into a classroom by the remaining adults.
All the students focus on us and the teacher glares.
"Oh, are these new minds ready for moulding?" she asks, looking us up and down.
"Good luck, I've been told I have a pretty thick head." I reply with a mischievous grin.
"Wait a minute. You're not from the fire nation!" she accuses.
The girl looks nervous.
"Clearly you're from the colonies" she finishes.
"Yep, we're both from the fire nation colonies in the earth kingdom." The girl replies, looking relieved.
"Your etiquette is terrible. In the homeland we bow to our elders, like so." She says demonstrating.
"Well you're certainly an elder. How old are you? 60? 100?" I ask with my usual amazing manners.
The other students laugh.
She turns bright red. "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME IN SUCH A WAY?!"
"Chill out. Did you stick your ruler up your…." I shut up afraid that if I continue talking she'll find another use for her ruler.
"What are your names? Or should we just call you both mannerless colony slobs?"
"It's Leo Slob, thank you very much." I reply instantly.
Huh so my name is Leo.
The girl gives me a look.
"I'm Jiao." She responds.
That's pretty. Doesn't suit her though.
The teacher just notices Jiao's eyes. "You're blind." she says in surprise.
"That's what people keep telling me." She shrugs.
"Well if you need any help I'm sure Leo here will be happy to help you read." She says giving me a warning look.
"Of course." I say with a smile before we take two spare seats next to each other.
I look down at the book in from of me. Some of the letters seem to be backwards and it's nearly impossible for me to read.
Jiao gives me a look. "Well brain boy, what does it say?"
"I don't know." I whisper.
"Can't you read?" she whispers back.
"I DON'T KNOW." I remind her.
"Great." She mutters.
I try focus on the paper again and manage to make out most of it with some difficulty.
"It's something about the air and a war." I whisper.
She rolls her eyes. "Let me guess. It's about how the great fire nation defeated the air nomads and how it brought us great honour."
'Uhhh… who are the air nomads?" I ask.
She looks at me in disbelief. "You really know nothing?"
"I thought that was obvious." I say hitting my head to show how hollow it is.
"Fine. To put it simply, the world is divided into four nations. The earth kingdom, the Water Tribes, The Air Nomads and the Fire Nation." She begins.
"Wait so I can control fire?!" I ask excitedly.
"You might be a non-bender, now let me continue." She says with a glare.
"Every nation can control one element except one person who has the power over all four, the avatar who is reincarnated into a different nation each time and it's their job to keep the peace."
"Why do I doubt that works?"
"Stop interrupting." She hisses.
"Jioa, Leo. Having an interesting conversation?" the teacher asks with a glare.
"Just reading to her, Miss." I say with a grin.
"Then why is she the one doing all the talking?" she points out.
"It's called asking questions." Jioa answers with an eye roll.
The teacher sighs and goes back to her lesson.
"Anyway, a hundred years ago the avatar disappeared and the fire nation attacked the air nomads and wiped them out."
My jaw drops "They killed them all?!" I ask disgusted.
"It was an honourable victory." She says with sarcasm dripping from her voice.
"Since then the fire nation has taken over most of the water tribes and earth kingdom. About six months ago the avatar returned. He was the last surviving air nomad. He had survived frozen in ice for all that time."
"So he's back? Why hasn't he done anything?" I ask.
She looks down. "He tried but about a month ago Prince Zuko of the fire nation killed him."
"So we're doomed?"
"Pretty much." She agrees. "So you really knew none of this?" she asks in disbelief.
"Not a thing." I sigh.
"Now class. I hope you have all finished reading the assigned chapters as there will be a quiz tomorrow." The teacher says with a smile.
The class groans.
I walk out of school with Jiao.
"So… Jiao." I say trying out the name.
She groans. "So where are you going to stay if you don't remember anything?" she asks.
I hadn't thought about that…
"I might just steal some cash and find a nice cave to sleep in." I shrug.
She laughs. "Well stay away from my cave."
I notice she seems to know where everything is. She knew the way out of class and has no problem walking into stuff.
"So… you never did tell me how you knew I was following you." I point out.
"You're right. I didn't." She says with a mischievous smile.
Before I could argue a few kids came up to us.
"You're the new kids right?" a tanned boy asks.
"Yep." Jioa says.
"We were on our way to play hide and explode. You wanna come?" he asks happily.
What kind of game is that?
"Sure!" I say. I give Jioa a pleading look.
"Fine." She agrees and we run with the others to the woods to play.
She really did look cute with her hair falling over her eyes like that.
Toph (POV)
I can feel Leo coming towards my hiding spot with one of his explosives.
I jump out from behind the rock and dodge the explosive.
"HOW DID YOU SEE ME?!" He yells confused.
Opps I really suck at this pretending to be blind thing.
"Luck." I reply and throw an explosive at him.
It explodes in his face but doesn't seem to hurt him at all.
"Nice Try." He says before running after me.
I walk through the cave walls.
"Where have you been? We've been worried sick." Katara asks in her worried mom voice.
"Relax, Mom. I was just playing with some kids after school." I explain.
"AFTER WHAT?!" Sokka yells.
"I enrolled in a fire nation school and I'm going back tomorrow. " I shrug before sitting down next to Aang.
"ENROLLED IN WHAT?!" Sokka yells before passing out.
I roll my eyes.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Katara asks.
"It's better than sitting around here all day." I point out.
"But Toph what if they fnd out you're an earth bender?" Aang asks.
"Plus did you forget you can't read or write?" Sokka asks waking up.
I grit my teeth "I'll be fine."
"Toph. I'm trying to be mature and not immediately shoot down your idea but it sounds really terrible."
"You do realise I'm going to go no matter what you say, right?" I point out.
"But why do you want to go to school?" Aang asks.
I feel myself blushing thinking about Leo. What am I doing? I'm Toph Beifong I do not blush!
"Is there a boy?" Katara asks practically bouncing.
"NO!" I deny.
"I think she should go." Katara says happily.
I glare at her.
"Fine. Beside if I tried to stop her I'd probably suspiciously fall into a hole again." Sokka agrees.
"Hey, you jumped into the hole I just made it swallow you a little." I admitted.
"I KNEW IT WAS YOU!" Sokka yelled.
"Can we just be quiet and go to bed?" Aang suggests.
"Whatever." I agree, before making a tent out of earth for myself.
So what do you think? Sorry it was completely terrible I'm not much of a writer speaking of which if I still haven't found a beta reader if anyone is interested that would be great. If you didn't get the end it was me thinking Toph was the one who made the earth swallow Sokka in the episode where she trained Aang. Please review :D
