Four Flavours of Sokka

Chapter One

First Things First

I walk into my house with a sigh. I place my keys on the side table. I have been living alone ever since the war was over for about a year now. Sure I'm living in the Fire Nation (thirteen and half months) as the Earth Kingdom's representative for the World's Assembly but it beats the heck out of living in Ba Sing Se. Katara is representing (along with Sokka) the Southern Water Tribe. Aang is the sole representative for the Air Temples, though he can't be at every meeting as he is the Avatar. He is helping people and looking at any and all rumours of Airbenders in the world. So he isn't around right now but he has written saying he would be back in a couple days according to Zuko. Katara and Haru (also a representative of the Earth Kingdom) are living together and seem to have become rather close though they aren't openly admitting they are dating. I know they are, I asked Katara myself and she lied badly.

That left Sokka. I headed straight towards the kitchen where I know I am going to find something to eat while I continue my thoughts. A month after the war and of being in the city Sokka had gone in search of Suki's prison. It is a slow process that Zuko is working on, releasing prisoners from the Fire Nation hasn't been too hard, but it is the prisons in the Earth Kingdom that are giving some problems. So Iroh has gone over to the Earth Kingdom about two months ago to help aid in the release but that doesn't seem to help the fact that Sokka hasn't found Suki. Sokka has written so often, I have a drawer of letters, even more than Katara. I have also taken a young girl into my house after having found the girl half starved and nearly dead on the streets. Yin has read every single letter to me and she enjoys reading them to me again should we have the time at night.

"Toph!" Yin attacks me with a neck breaking hug from behind (speak of the devil and it comes). "You have another letter, it came while you were gone. I haven't read it yet." I smile at the young girl and head towards the jar of cookies on the counter.

"We can read it after I get something sweet. It's been a long day. The Earth Kingdom doesn't want Zuko on the throne though he's been ruling it for over a year now. They would rather have someone they say can be trusted but let's think about this. You want to argue with the Avatar and his friends over the said Avatar's Firebending teacher and friend." I grab the cookie jar as Yin grabs something from the cold box before she grabs my hand heading towards our sitting room. She places a stone plate and fork in my hand and I laugh at the fact the young girl has cheesecake in our cold box. I take a bite as she sits down across from me. She also seems to know I have a sweet tooth all too well.

"I know what you mean. Some of the people at school don't want him on the throne either or at least their parents don't but they don't know him. We do and I like him, he's nice. Anyway are you ready now?" She asks softly as I hear the rustle of paper. I smile at her, she can be so opinionated sometimes but she seems just as excited as I am to hear from Sokka again. I guess it seems that Yin knows my personal feelings towards Sokka though I have never said a thing to her about it.

"Yes." I take another bite of the cheesecake as Yin clears her throat. I can tell she's trying to get comfortable in my rock house. She's used to it by now but sometimes I feel uncomfortable within this entire house of rock and it's my element.

"Dear Toph, I hope you are doing well. According to Katara, you have been rather busy with the assembly and I heard you get rather bored with all the idiotic happenings. I'm sorry I'm not there to help lighten the mood for you, we could use some sort of distraction and get ourselves out of those boring assembly meetings. Anyway, I have some good news. My journey has finally come to an end. I finally found Suki. I have never seen such a warrior so broken and jaded. After (with the help of Iroh) we released all the Kyoshi warriors and we had them in a medical facility. They all seem to be doing very well and are on their way home now on a large Fire Nation ship. That should go over great with the inhabitants of Kyoshi Island. Speaking of the Fire Nation, I am on my way back to the Fire Nation as you are reading this. I should be there very soon; Zuko wants me to come straight to the palace so he can find me a place to stay. I'm not sure I'm cut out for the assembly but Aang and Zuko both want me on it desperately, something like they need an idea guy or something for the world's problems. Aang said he would pick me up on Appa when Iroh and my ship get into the Fire Nation. Iroh is coming back for a little while to give Zuko and the assembly the information on the rest of the prisons in the Earth Kingdom. I can't wait to get there so I can just finally settle in for a while and not travel and search. Here's hoping to see you soon, Sokka. P.S. I miss you." I give a slight smile at the last sentence. Yin is practically throwing off happy vibrations like wild fire. My eyes move to stare at my plate out of habit. I know I have eaten the cheesecake but I know I would have enjoyed it more in Sokka's company.

"So I will finally get to meet the infamous Sokka." Yin's voice holds a hint of excitement for the younger girl and I briefly wonder if she herself hasn't developed a crush on Sokka before pushing the thought away. Yin is only eight years old but rather well educated for her age; she still won't tell me how she ended up on the streets. My income is currently paying for her continued education and she helps out around the house by doing chores and running errands. I give a small satisfied sigh and lean back into the pillows on my stone couch.

My relaxed position immediately tenses up as I feel vibrations coming towards my door. I can feel the hesitation before the knock comes to my door. Yin's confusion comes towards me in waves before I can say anything to her, I ran towards the door in excitement. I steel myself a little almost scared to believe what those vibrations are telling me. Without another moment's hesitation, I fling open the door and leap immediately forward wrapping my arms around a strong neck.

I breathe in the familiar scent of the earth after a rain shower or maybe it is freshly fallen snow I'm not sure, a soft musk scent, and the sharp scent of smoked meat. These scents tell immediately I'm not dreaming that it really is Sokka.

To Be Continued…
