Hey guys! Thanks for clicking on this story. That's just a few things to know before we get started.

1.) This is a Tokka (Toph/Sokka) story. Please don't complain if you don't ship it.

2.) I am by no means a professional author. I'm sorry for any mistakes you see or things you don't like.

3.) I would very much appreciate reviews. Just a "good job" or an " I liked this chapter". I do love criticism, but please keep it civil. I don't want to hear "I hate your writing." I would rather hear "I hate your writing because..."

I think that's it. I'm pretty sure I got the sequencing wrong on the story, but oh well. I hope you'll forgive me.

Disclaimer: If I owned A:tla, Tokka definitely would have been Canon.


The war was over. I never doubted Aang's ability, but there was a time that I thought I would never see this day. The dawning of a new era, hopefully filled with peace.

~~~~~Line Break~~~~~

After Zuko got crowned as Fire Lord, there was a huge party that the whole Gaang was expected to attend. Not that I didn't want to support Zuko and stuff, I was just kind of uncomfortable with the current situation.

What situation you might ask? Well the one involving the Avatar and my little sister. Sure, I've known about Aang's crush on Katara for a long time now; I mean, who didn't! The problem I currently have is that they have recently become an item and they won't stop making eyes at each other.

I have to pull my eyes away so I don't vomit. My other problem tonight was Suki.

Suki and I had dated for a while, and I can't deny that I really liked her, but recently I've been wondering if it wasn't anything more than a crush.

I sit and ponder this while the music around my swells and people glide across the dance floor. Did I think I could spend the rest of my life with Suki? Do I love her? Was she my soul mate?

I've decided that the answer to all these questions is no. I couldn't do this anymore. She's a great girl, but I didn't want her to be stuck with a guy who doesn't love her and is pining for his best friend.

I get up and go to Suki. "Um Suki?" I ask nervously.

"What is it Sokka?" She replies with a smile, not seeming to suspect what's coming next.

"Suki, you're a fantastic girl and any guy would be luck to have you, but..."

She cuts me off. "I know Sokka. You want to break up don't you? I just hope we can stay friends."

I nod. "I hope you know it's me and not you. It just that..."

She nods as well. "I've noticed how you look at her. I was wondering how long until you realized it. Go to her."

I smile. "Thanks Suki," I say before giving her a quick hug. She returns the hug and then motions for me to leave and chase after the girl in my heart.

"Hi Snoozels," she greets as I approach.

"Hey, Toph?" I ask her in response.

"Yes Sokka?"

"I came over here to tell you," I stop. I can't do this. If she doesn't like me back it would ruin our friendship.

"Tell me what?" She asks, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Tell you that you look... Beautiful tonight." Even if it's not what I had originally planned to say, if couldn't hurt to compliment her, right?

A blush creeps onto her face. "Oh. Thanks Sokka. I wish I could say the same to you."

I was a little taken aback. Did she just call me ugly? Oh wait, I forgot she's blind.

"And also, I came to ask you if," again I pause, not sure if I want to confess my feelings for her and risk loosing out friendship.

"You know what, never mind. I need to go check on a few things. I hurriedly make my way across the room, away from any other awkward situations involving the earthbender.

Some days I wish that I could just toughen up and tell her, but I know she'll never feel the same so I might as well carry out my life forever alone with my sorrow and unrequited love.
