The Shoot Down
Ding Dong! Helen, a maid at the Beifong mansion, ran to open the door.
"Hello Aang, come on in."
"Hey Helen," said Aang cheerfully. "Is Toph up yet?"
Upon hearing the doorbell, Lao Beifong came to the door to see who it was, though he already had a good idea of who it was. Aang came over every school day to pick up Toph ever since he learned to drive.
"Hello Aang."
"Hey Lao, is Toph up yet?" (A/N- Aang is on a first name basis with Toph's father because he's known him for years. Toph is the same way with Aang's stepfather.)
"No, I think she's still sleeping. You know how she can be on Monday mornings," laughed Lao. "Why don't you go get her up? You seem to have more luck than the rest of us."
"Though I don't know why," said Aang.
"I think it's because she has a soft spot for you," replied Lao truthfully.
"Well I should hope I did by now. I mean, I've only known her our whole lives. I'd hope I'd get a soft spot by now," Aang joked.
He walked past Lao to the large stair case and jogged upstairs to Toph's room. He walked past all the other doors upstairs that lead to other random rooms. When he reached Toph's room, the large doors were slightly open, but he knocked anyways.
"Hey Toph, can I come in?" he asked poking his head in the door. He heard a loud moan come from her bed and saw a lazy hand wave him in.
He walked into her overly huge room and walked next to her bed and started shaking her shoulder.
"Toph, come on, it's time to get up and go to school."
"I don't want to get up Twinkle Toes," Toph whined as she pulled he pillow over head to try and block Aang out.
Aang thought for a minute, and then smiled as he thought about another way to get her up. He grabbed the sheets that covered her up and yanked them off of her so that they were hanging over the edge of her bed.
To this, Toph lifted her pillow off of her head and, with a smile on her face, joking called out, "Rape! Rape!"
At that, Aang jumped on her bed, leaned over her, and started tickling her stomach. She laughed and tried to defend herself against his fingers, but failed miserably.
The two teens were laughing so loudly, they just barely heard Lao in the doorway say, "Have you succeeded in getting Toph up yet Aang?'
Aang stopped tickling Toph and leaned back on his knees. "I think I did, but I might have tickled her to death," he said smiling.
Both Lao and Toph laughed at that. "I'm up, and you haven't killed me yet Twinkle Toes."
Lao left the doorway as both Toph and Aang hopped off the bed. Toph reached up and stretched her arms over her head and yawned. Aang smiled over at her. His best friend was amazing. Toph was born blind but that never stopped her from doing things like a normal person, unless it came to water. She taught herself to "see" through vibrations in the ground and her dad bought her special books and computers so she could use them as well.
"Alright Twinkle Toes, since you're the one that got me up, you have to pick out what I'm wearing today," Toph said smugly.
"Me?" Aang asked stupidly while pointing to himself.
"Yes, you Twinkle Toes," Toph laughed.
"But I have no sense of style."
"Yours is better than mine," she said while waving her hand in front of her face.
Aang ignored that comment because he knew Toph really didn't care about stuff like that; she liked to take jabs at herself as a joke.
"Fine," he sighed. He walked into her closet that was surprisingly big. For a blind girl, she had the closet of a shop-o-holic. That was thanks to Ty Lee, they're preppy cheerleading friend, and Azula, their other friend that is in love with shopping. He scratched the back of his head while looking around the closet, trying to remember something Toph had worn in the past.
"Hey Twinkle Toes! Could you hurry it up? I'm getting bored out here!" yelled Toph from her room.
Aang rolled his eyes. "Toph, you're always bored," he replied.
"I am not! Now hurry up!" Toph yelled back at him.
Aang chuckled. Toph may be stubborn and bratty sometimes, but that's why they got along so great. They were opposites. Aang believed that's why they are able to stay friends since they could remember. Because they were opposites, but yet not opposite enough to where they were constantly fighting.
He pulled out a pink tank-top, a white button-down shirt to go over it, and a jean skirt he was sure he'd seen her wear before.
Aang came out of the closet and handed her the clothes. "Here, now hurry up and get changed."
Toph ran her hands over the clothes, figuring out which ones they were. She figured it out, she frowned. "You've seen me wear this before," she whined.
"Mhm, that's the point," he replied happily.
Toph stuck her tongue out at him and went into the bathroom to change. Aang chuckled at Toph's gesture, because he knew she meant that in a friendly way. He picked a hackey sack up off her desk, laid down on her bed, and began throwing it up and down.
Down the hall, Star was fuming. The laughter from Toph's room had just sub-sided, and Star was overpowered with jealousy.
"How come she gets to hang out with Aang?" she asked herself out loud. "How come he pays more attention to her and not me? What's so special about her? She's just a blind ditz! Arhh!"
Then, a small smile played across Star's face. She knew a way to get Aang's attention…
Aang heard a knock at Toph's door. "Come in," he said lazily. Star walked in through the doors wearing only her pajamas.
"Hey there Aang," Star said in a seducing voice.
Aang, missing her tome of voice, just looked up at her. "Hey Star," he said and went back to throwing the hackey sack up and down.
'Damn, he's so hot,' thought Star to herself. She walked over to Toph's bed and sat down next to Aang. "So what's up with you lately?" she asked leaning over Aang.
"Ummm…." Aang said uncertainly. He was really uncomfortable with Star this close. "Not much with me. Yourself?"
"Oh, you know, the usual," she said leaning closer to him.
"That's nice," Aang croaked out while he hastily sat up and got off the bed. Just then, Toph got out of the bathroom, changed and ready to go.
"Oh good, you're back, now we can go!" Aang said, trying to find any excuse to get out of the same room that Star was in.
"What are you doing in my room Fruit-Loop?" Toph asked annoyed.
"I was talking to Aang, if you must know," replied Star also annoyed. She hadn't known Toph was in the bathroom.
"Oh cut the shit Fruit-Loop. I know you were trying to hit on him again," Toph said with a smirk.
"Toph, we really should be going right now," Aang said, trying to get out of there as quickly as possible before this could erupt into a fight.
Aang grabbed Toph by the arm and dragged her out of the door.
Star sat down on Toph's bed, and once she heard the front door close, signaling that the two had left, she let out a loud shriek. She hated losing to Toph.
Zuko hated Mondays. Nothing good ever happened on Mondays. He wanted to use his wealth and power to totally get rid of Mondays for good. But, seeing that is unrealistic, he would just have to deal with them.
He ran downstairs so he could grab a quick breakfast for the road.
"Zuzu! Hurry up! I'm not waiting forever," Zuko's sister called out.
"I'm coming Azula!" he yelled back. He walked onto the extremely large front yard where Azlua was waiting for him in the Lexus.
"Why do you always take so long? We still have to pick up Mai and Ty Lee."
He rolled his eyes at her and got in the car.
They were silent the whole way to Ty Lee and Mai's (A/N- They're neighbors). Once Ty Lee and Mai were there though, conversaions erupted on all the lastest gossip, clothes, shoes, and all the stuff that Zuko hated. Except for some of the gossip. Sometimes there were some good things going around. He picked up on some of their current conversaion.
"Oh, my god. Did hear that Koko is organizing the next school dance?" asked Ty Lee.
"When did you find out about this?" asked Mai.
"When I was out with Sangok last night. One of Koko's friends was spreading it around everywhere, and"
"Wait, why were you out with Sangok? He's a total ass?"
"Because he's cute!"
"Every guy is cute to you Ty Lee," Azula cut in.
"Whatever," Ty Lee said as she shurugged Azula's comment off. "Anyway, I wanted to warn all of you because Koko is going to be pestering us to go to her lame dance. You too Zuko."
"Why me?" he asked as he was suddenly brought into the conversaion.
"Because you're also popular," said Mai. "And if that slut can get any of us to her dance, lots more people will show up and then she'll get a big head and think she's cool."
"We have to tell Toph and Aang as soon as we get to school then as well. Espcially Toph," said Azula.
"Why especially Toph?" asked Ty Lee curiously.
Azula sighed. Why did she have to be the brain of the three of them all the time? "Because, one of Koko's loser friends likes Aang. And everybody knows Aang won't do almost anything without Toph."
"Oh... okay, whoever she's her first then should tell her immediatly," stated Ty Lee. They all nodded in agreement as the girls went back to gossiping and Zuko zoned out again.
Hakoda had just dropped his kids off at school. Katara felt horrible. It was her first day at her new high school and her brother had just run off so he could talk to some knew friends he had met a few days ago. She walked around the large campus like a lost dog until she found the administration building. She was walking with her head down, so she didn't see the boy walking towards her and bumped right into him.
"Oh, I'm sorry," she said sheepishly.
"Hi there," he said kindly. "Are you new here?"
She looked up to anwser him, but lost her voice as she looked up into the most beautiful face she had ever seen...
Well, hello! Please tell me what I could improve on and I promise I'll do my very best on listening and applying it to my stories. Oh, and if you'd like to see any other pairing besides Taang, Zutara, and Ty Lokka. I'll try to fit it in. But those 3 will be the main pairings.
