"Let's have some fun, Sokka. It'll be easy money, Sokka. Well, do you call this fun? Do we have any money?" Sokka complained, pacing around the room and pulling at his hair.

"Chill out, Snoozles," Toph reassured her partner-in-crime, as she stood up and flexed her fingers. "We always find a way out of these… hmm…" she pondered, folding her arms across her chest. "What would be a good word to describe what we do?"

"Um…" Sokka slumped against one of the wooden walls and mused, "Mischief-making?"

"I don't think that's it," Toph deliberated. "We don't try to get in trouble on purpose."

"Hooliganing?"

"Sokka," Toph shook her head as she sat against the wall next to Sokka, sticking her legs straight out in front of her. "You can't just make up words. And I think there's an actual word for what we do."

"How about this?" Sokka grinned, "Sokka-and-Toph-ing?"

Toph giggled, and then froze. She didn't giggle. She never giggled. A sarcastic laugh or a taunting chuckle, but never an actual giggle. She desperately hoped that Sokka didn't hear her, but to her dismay, he proved her wrong.

"Did you just… giggle?" Sokka asked, ogling Toph.

Sweating from the heat in the stuffy cell, her embarrassment, and her closeness to Sokka, she faltered, "Yes… no… I don't know!"

Rubbing the back of his neck, Sokka, afraid of saying the wrong thing, started, "I don't think I've ever really heard you giggle before. But it was sort of cute."

Toph flushed. Even if Sokka hadn't seen this, he would have definitely heard the rapid and erratic beating of her heart. Suddenly, he wanted, no, needed, to hear Toph giggle again. After all, they were the only ones in the cell, and Sokka craved Toph to giggle because of him. Inching closer to her, he beamed, "What about Toph-and-Sokka-ing? You know? Now your name is first!"

Toph giggled once more, and clasped a hand over her mouth.

"It's okay," Sokka whispered in Toph's ear. "I like your giggle."

"Hmm…" Toph sighed. Without thinking, she closed her eyes and leaned against Sokka's shoulder. Surprising both of them, Sokka cautiously wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"So…" Toph started, after several minutes of silence. "Let's get into more of whatever we do."

"I can't believe that you two actually went to do more scams," Katara patronized, staring down Sokka and Toph. The two were obviously bored with Katara's ranting, but they had to endure this tirade if they were to be forgiven by the waterbending master. "You two are heroes to the world! Do you think you're setting a good model for aspiring warriors and earthbenders?" The warrior and earthbender shrugged. "I hoped you learned that you shouldn't do any more of your little shenanigans," Katara concluded, and the two suddenly grinned for reasons oblivious to her.

"That's it!" Sokka exclaimed, hugging a very startled Toph. "That's what we do!" A small blush formed on Toph's face and she punched Sokka in the shoulder. Grumbling, Sokka backed away from the temperamental earthbender. It's just her way of showing affection, he reminded himself.

Katara rolled her eyes at the two and stormed off. Sokka and Toph smirked at the ticked off waterbender, and Sokka wrapped an arm around Toph's shoulder. "By the way, Madame Fussy-Britches," Toph exclaimed, "I think we'll shenan-again."

Aww... that was so cute! :D
