"What does it say, Katara?" Toph asked with impatience.

A grey hawk recently dropped off a scroll sent to the blind earthbender. It perched on Sokka's right shoulder and got whacked by his left hand. The poor bird dropped the scroll and began to peck at the boy's head. Katara ignored the commotion and picked up the paper.

The waterbender unrolled the scroll and read it. "It's from your parents..."

"Oh." Toph kicked a pebble down the road they were standing on. She also turned her back to them and tried not to show interest. "What do they want now?"

Katara was silent a while before speaking again. "They want you back home. It says they have changed for the better and understand why you left." her arms dropped to her sides with the letter. "It also says it's important for you to go back home..."

Toph turned back around and stared at Katara's forehead, thinking it was her eyes, "Should I go back?"

Aang stepped forward and stared at the ground, "Well, the war is over..." he sighed. "You taught me all you know about earthbending... Besides, they're your parents! It's the only family you have."

Her blind eyes filled with tears. "You guys are my family..."

"Toph. They're still your family, whether you like it or not." Sokka pulled her into a hug. "I know when my dad left for the war, I was so alone. The villagers became my family. But it was never the same."

The blind girl rested her head on Sokka's chest. "So, you're saying I should go back?"

Katara put an arm on the girl's shoulder. "We'll all be splitting up soon... Zuko is back home with Fire Lord Iroh. Even me and Sokka are going back to the South Pole... It'd be best if you went back to your parents."

Toph sighed. "Can I at least be with you guys one more night?"

They all gathered and joined into a hug. Aang whispered, "Of course you can Toph."

She grinned. "I'll miss you guys!"

Sokka pulled back and wiped his eyes. "Come on... let's go do something special!"

Katara laughed. "Like what?"

"Whatever Toph wants to do." smiled Aang.

"Hmm... I know the best thing!" Toph grinned and began to walk off. The others followed.

The gang walked down the road for almost an hour and got into a busy town. People were running around with bags with frusterated expressions. Kids ran through the dusty streets playing games all happily. Merchants stood in stalls on both sides of the wide and crowded street. Each one of them selling something different. The four teenagers walked unnoticed through the road.

Toph stopped in front of a small building, looked like a tiny house fit for one person. The girl knocked on the door and a little window opened in the door. Two green eyes appeared in the crack. "Who's there?"

"It's me..." Toph turned her head a bit so he could see her face.

The man's eyes grew big and quickly opened the door. He stood at the side and bowed down to the group. "It's an honour to have you here!" They walked in.

"Yeah yeah." Toph walked away. "We're just here for the show."

Sokka, Aang, and Katara all gave each other uncertain looks as they walked down a dark hall and descended down a flight of stairs.

"Toph... what exactly is this place?" Sokka's voice was shaking.

She grinned. "You'll see."

When they reached the bottom of the stairs, they were in a cramped area. Toph earthbended the wall to the side reveiling a wide open area with rows and rows of seats and an arena in the middle. The seats were almost filled with loud fans, yelling at the two people fighting below.

Aang's mouth fell to the ground. "Wrestling?!"

"Yep!" smiled Toph as she walked to her seat.

"Oh boy!" Sokka ran to his seat in front of Toph and began to yell encouragement to one of the wrestlers.

Katara and Aang reluctantly sat down on the bench and watched down below. Toph sat there in silence, consumed in her thoughts. This was going to be the last night with her friends.
