The sun was just a speck of light compared to the darkness that had embraced the valley. It soon hid itself from the stars and the moon, only to show itself again once its counterparts have gone.

The son of the one of the leaders of the Earthen Fire Refinery asked his guests if they would like to stay with him at his place of residence for the night. The seven guests politely declined, as they would prefer to stay under the stars.

The Gaang had missed their old trips and camp-outs. After the war ended, there wasn't any more time for the pleasure of those things anymore. Staying in high-class places in Ba Sing Se or the Palace in the Fire Nation can really get quite boring.

And with just the four of them—the original Team Avatar—along with the Air Acolytes, surely staying under the night sky wouldn't hurt.

It was a shame that Zuko couldn't be with them to celebrate the festival, but of course, he had to spend time with his mother and new family members.

Satoru said to call if they needed anything, and then bid them a "Good night," heading home.

The group sat on logs around the lit fire with Sokka and Toph together on one log, Aang and Katara on another, and the air acolytes on the third one.

Sokka and Toph were eating the meat they got from the market earlier that day and the others were eating some bread and vegetables.

They said nothing for the time being and just enjoyed the heat and dancing of the fire under the full moon.

Toph was the first one to finish her dinner and licked the sauce off the stick, sucking it off her fingers. She slid down so that her back was flat against the log. Her arms were behind her head when she stated to no one in particular, "I'm bored."

"The do something!" Sokka said, not at all happy that the earthbender finished her meat before him.

"I don't know what to do! Why don't you plan something, Oh Great Idea Guy." she said sarcastically.

Sokka just rolled his eyes, forgetting that Toph couldn't see his gesture.

It was long after any of them said anything else. Once they were all done, with sticks burning in the fire, one of the Air Acolytes suggested, "Why don't we just give questions to each other and answer them?"

Toph snorted. "You mean like a conversation?" She was annoyed at their lack of common sense.

"Aren't these fan girls supposed to be smart?" she thought to herself. But she later mentally noted that she would definitely create a joke about this later and share it with Sokka. "I'm thinking of a good prank for these fan girls, but I'll need Sokka's help with it later.

The mischievous expression on Toph's face was enough for Sokka to read her mind. After all, they were the best of friends who always knew what kind of shenanigans the other one was up to.

This made him snort and chuckle, covering his mouth to prevent him from laughing. Katara gave him a confused look, while Toph kept on raising her eyebrows up and down, up and down, expectantly at Sokka. This was enough for him to burst into laughter and for Toph to join him.

Katara shot them an angry look and stomped her feet hard on the ground for Toph. After wiping some joyous tears from their faces, and coughing out some phlem, and clearing their throats, the duo finally stopped laughing.

"Proceed." Sokka said, in a very annoying fancy-like tone which made Toph and himself snort.

"To make it more interesting," one of the Air Acolytes continued, still vexed with their behavior, "whoever doesn't answer the question will have to have a punishment of some sort. Or a penalty. You have to answer the question given to you, no matter how you hate to answer it. Sound good?"

The rest of the group just nodded.

"Katara?"

The waterbender sighed and tried to give a smile—for the sake of the others, of course. The other two were still on her nerves, but she didn't want to ruin the night. It was clearly planted on her face that she was on the verge of tearing her poor brother apart.

"Okay, so, Sweetie?" she turned to Aang with a real smile this time.

He smiled back. "Yes, Sweetie?"

"Stop! No! Oogies!" exclaimed both Toph and Sokka at the same time, along with coordinated dramatic gestures. It was like they planned what they had to do every time Katara or Aang did that long ago.

Katara brushed them off and asked her boyfriend, "Would you like to have kids one day?"

Toph and Sokka kept saying what they always did, and didn't stop until Aang and Katara stopped talking about their future.

"Yes. How many?" Aang asked this time.

"Three. What will their names be?"

"Kya, Bumi, and Tenzin. How about it?"

"Perfect! But why?"

"Kya for your mother, Bumi for my long time friend, and Tenzin because, well, it was the first thing that popped into my head."

Katara grinned from ear to ear, wrapping her arms around Aang and kissing him quickly as a "Thank you" and an "I love you".

Sokka was fed up with all that "Ooginess" and said, "Ugh! Katara! Why don't you and Aang go somewhere else? Don't go all 'Oogie' over here!"

He shield his eyes until the kiss was done.

Toph agreed with her secret crush and said, "Yeah! And I'll be honored to earthbend you guys out of here!"

Katara was already fed up. The both of them have been like that ever since she and Aang got together. Before, she was only able to shoot back at Sokka because of Suki, but now, she will be able to take revenge Toph, too.

"Oh yeah? What about your kiss with Suki, Sokka?" Katara shouted, now standing up.

Sokka just stuck his tongue out. "You and Aang are way worse!"

Toph snorted. "Yeah, right." she muttered, but Katara heard it well.

This was the moment she was always waiting for.

"Oh, really now, Toph? Are you sure you didn't show some "Oogies" earlier?"

"Why, yes, Katara. I don't show 'Oogies.'"

"'I would love to be in a partnership with you, Satoru! Oh, Satoru! You have such a nice factory!'" she mimicked in the best Toph-like voice she could muster.

Toph stomped her foot hard on the ground which sent a strong earth wave that rippled until the end of the island. Sokka was near Toph so he held on to her shoulder to keep his balance.

Toph blushed furiously but yelled back, "What?! I didn't say that! You're lying!" But she still couldn't hide the red color in her cheeks.

Katara noticed this and asked in a super girly voice, "Am I, now, Toph?"

"Yes! Ugh! What's with you people? You can't even feel a heartbeat!

"I can tell you're lying, Toph." he said, faintly, afraid of the wrath of his teacher. "I've learned enough from my Sifu to feel your heartbeat."

"Traitor!" she turned her back to them but said nothing else.

Sokka's face was pale the whole time, and there was a flipping feeling in his stomach that he couldn't control. "What are they talking about, Toph?" he asked her quietly, putting a hand on her shoulder and turning her body so she faced him.

"I don't know, okay! What's the big deal! Sheesh!" she threw her hands up in the air.

Sokka decided not to push her further so got an extra piece of meat from his back and quietly chewed on it. He didn't like where this was going.

"Maybe this sick feeling is just me being hungry." he thought, trying to convince himself. But he knew better.

"Toph likes Satoru!" Katara said in a sing-song voice, frolicking around the fire.

Toph was about to make Katara fly to the moon but then Sokka was taken aback and choked on his meat. Toph had to punch his back to get it out of him. He murmured a "Thank you". His face was pale and he looked at Toph with a disbelieving look. He shot an eyebrow at her but she couldn't see it.

"So you like him, don't you?" the little Air Acolyte boy asked, voice loud, but not too pushy.

"No!" she sent another earth wave.

Sokka sighed of relief, but then questioned his actions later.

He was no where near finished with his meat but held a bottle of water on his right for when he finishes despite it.

Though after a long half hour of much denial and encouragement, Toph threw her hands in the air and screeched, "Okay, okay! So I like him a little, what's the big deal?! Stop asking me these questions!" She was shouting annoyingly at them repetitively until they stopped. They just smiled and giggled at their triumph.

Sokka suddenly spat the water he was drinking all over the fire. Aang lit it up again.

"You what?!" he screamed irritably, standing up.

"I'm not going to say it twice, Meathead!" She turned away from him to hide the blush and tried to hide the embarrassment in her tone with anger. But little did she know, it wasn't working. The others were giggling.

"You like him?! Why in Yue's name would you even like a guy like him! He's not even smart! He doesn't know how to read maps! He's not strong! He can't use a sword or throw a boomerang! He nothing like me!" he said the last part softly. He knew who he was implying, but he didn't care. All he cared about was Toph at that moment. "Or anything like a war hero! Ugh! Toph?! How could you? How can you like someone like him? How can you even like someone at all?! This isn't you! How could you! You're even worst than Aang and Katara!" he kept screaming at her, distaste in his look, and standing up.

Toph turned to face him. "What's the deal, Sokka?! It's not a big deal! Get a hold of yourself before I blast you to the next factory!" She was standing too.

Their arms were flying in the air as they argued.

The others were hiding behind their logs, scarred at the arguing best friends.

"This is scary." Aang said, who was squeezing Katara's hand quite hard.

"You said it. Those two never fight!" she said, squeezing his hand back.

"Well, there was that time when Zuko wanted to join our group." he stated, recalling. But he shook his head to erase the memory. "But that's not the point. The three of us were against Toph on that one, not just the two of them. And we weren't even so much as yelling!"

"You're right. This is getting out of hand. We have to do something."

"But what?"

Katara brought her shoulders up and down and continued watching the fight.

"It is a big deal! You like him!" he pinched the bridge of his nose then held her by her shoulders and asked in a softer voice, "Do you like him, Toph?" He sounded really hurt. Though he didn't know why he was so caught up with Toph liking Satoru. It should be a big deal for him, actually. But he couldn't just ignore the fact.

It hadn't bothered him when a guy similar to her age kissed her on the cheek at the fire nation during their hiding in the war. But for some reason, he felt a great jealousy overcome him.

He didn't want anyone to be with Toph. Toph was his best friend and no one can take her away from him. But he felt that it wasn't just because she was her best friend, she was something more but he couldn't put his finger on it... Or even admit it, for that matter.

Toph was surprised by his touch because she still felt a tiny pang of love for Sokka. He was her first love. She had grown to get used to him being with Suki and eventually abandoned the idea if loving him all together. She liked Satoru but she still felt that love for Sokka in her heart.

"Yes." she said, still blushing. But not from Satoru, but from Sokka. There was also hurt in her voice.

"I can't believe you!" He threw his arms up and stormed off.

"There's definitely something wrong with them, Sweetie." Aang said, finally coming out of hiding.

Toph just grunted and stormed off in the opposite direction. She thought that sokka was overreacting. So what if she liked another guy? Sokka never liked her back before. And then there was that Kyoshi Warrior. Suki. But that touch felt so warm, so sweet. And he sounded really hurt. She couldn't get her mind straight.

"Definitely." Katara said, gesturing the others to stand as well.
