"Sokka is actually right about this. Every time we get supplies, we have to teleport them onto the ship and then manually move them or reset the teleporter to move them directly into the cargo hold. It takes far too much time and energy, both of them. The last time we were almost caught, we had to dump some of the cargo. I wont have that happening again. Are you sure you got it set up right?" Aang questioned.

"With the current modifications I'm sure it will be perfectly just what you want," Toph said with a Cheshire grin on her face.

Aang knew well enough not to trust her. She had been pulling far too many tricks recently. While none of them seemed life threatening, he certainly considered some of them damaging. Mostly to his own nerves, he had to admit. He was sure he could count on one other crew member to agree that his nerves were also in tatters at this point. It seemed like a constant challenge for each of them to try and stay two steps ahead of her. Toph seemed to have an idea in mind and she had a vice like grip on the idea that she wasn't letting go of.

Testing it would be the best thing he could figure. This way he might get an idea of what Toph was up to this time around. They had sent Zuko and Sokka off planet to grab a few supplies. It would be the best chance to see what the teleportation device was really capable of. He had Toph bring up the packages as soon as the away team gave the signal. He waited in the cargo bay and checked that there were no damages when they came in. Things seemed perfectly in order.

He clicked his communicator and said, "Good job, Toph. You mentioned earlier that this would work on the crew too?"

"That is right. I figured if we are ever in a pinch all we have to do is click the button and we can all be back in the ship in one go. The only catch is that we would have to all be touching, since its a one click, one go type thing. Which reminds me, I made a control trigger for it that you can carry with you. I figured that as long as you keep it with you then you might be able to get out of some sticky situations," Toph's voice cracked over the communicator.

"Yeah, that would have been great last week. I'll swing by and pick it up. Bring the rest of the crew and I'll be there in a moment," Aang said walking out of the cargo bay.

"Already done. I figured you wouldn't want them to linger any longer so I already brought them up. Sokka is off looking for food and Zuko said he was heading to his room. It didn't seem like they ran into any trouble, so I figured it was fine to just let them go."

Aang made it into the teleportation room moments after she finished talking. This new device was actually a great idea on Sokka's part and he had to really thank Toph for her brilliance at being able to set it up. He was technically the captain of the ship, but they were all equal and each of them knew it. There was nothing he could think to award that she couldn't already do for herself at this point. He just mentally logged it away to get her something extra nice for her birthday. Aang actually felt a bit guilty for not trusting her.

"Toph, recently with everything. I don't think I've been trusting you as much as you deserve. You did a great job on this and actually put a lot of work into it. Thanks. I know that everyone will really benefit from it," Aang said anxious as he rubbed at his bald head.

The Cheshire grin covered her face again and Aang tried to shake off the feeling that he was missing something. He wondered to himself if maybe she hadn't always had that grin and he had just glazed over it. He tried to brush it off as if it was just part of the fact that he hadn't been trusting her recently. She held out the small black device to him. It looked like an small key chain that had an inset button on it. He turned it over in his hands. Nothing would give it away as being linked to the ship and it seemed to have no indication to what it even was.

Toph frowned and said, "There is one thing. I went over the calculations again and again, but while it worked out fine from outside the ship, I'm not sure it will work out perfectly in the ship. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure it will send you somewhere in the ship, but it might send you anywhere in the cargo bay and not just in the center. If you want I can test it for you and let you know where I come out."

"I think you have done plenty. If you are sure enough that you are willing to test it on yourself, I'm sure it wont be a problem for me to give it a go. All I have to do is press the button?" Aang asked.

"Yup."

It was better now to test then wait for later. He didn't want to wait and find out when he needed it most that it wasn't working properly. He pressed the button and felt the usual stomach tumbling that came with being teleported. His eyes always seemed to close on their own during the process. Muffled water sounds filled Aang's ears. He opened his eyes and they widened further as his confusion lessened. Zuko's usual clothes were laid out on his bed and through the open bathroom door, he could tell that Zuko was taking his usual post trip shower.

Aang clicked his communicator and hissed into it, "Toph, I swear, I'm going to kill you when I get out of here!"

The only response was quiet laughing that came from the line.
