Authors Note:

Hey, thanks for checking out my fic; it's been a couple of years since I last wrote one. It was originally meant to be a single stand-alone lemon... but due to some really awesome reviews I've decided to re-structure the story so I can write more chapters!

I - like everyone on FF - love reviews, suggestions, critiques, lots and lots of compliments; even unrelated stuff!


"Let's stop here for the night" Upon Aang's command Appa began to descend onto a grassy field near an immensely large lake. Katara, Sokka, and Toph set up camp while Aang removed Appa's giant saddle. Toph walked out a bit to where the grass made room for a patch of dry earth still warm from the setting sun. Holding her arms out she easily erected a rock tent.

"Goodnight everyone"

"Goodnight Toph" the voices of Aang, Katara and Sokka responded in unison.

Crawling on the hard ground to the back of the shelter, Toph curled up into a ball and closed her unseeing eyes. After what could've only been an hour a noise startled her enough to make her quickly sit up and bump her head. She felt a slight vibration coming from the rest of their camp. She rubbed the throbbing crown of her head and listened again. The noise came from her left, and although she was curious about its source, the cold winds of the night kept her from venturing outside. Instead, she called out a tentative, "Hello?"

"Buuurrrrr"

"Sokka?" She called back, immediately identifying him.

"S-sorry, Toph, I didn't ma-ma-mean to w-wake you up, but n-now that that's alread-dy happened, c-c-could you build me a ra-rock t-tent?" Toph could hardly understand him though the stuttering, but she caught his drift (no pun intended).

"Sorry Sokka, I'll wake up the others if I do that. I guess you'll just have to sleep next to Appa again tonight," she said with a wry smile, only half kidding. Last time Sokka was forced to sleep next to the giant air-bison he woke with half his head covered in fur, stuck there by his own drool.

Toph felt a breeze as he quickly ducked behind her and crawled inside the rock tent. "Sokka! This is MY tent! There's not enough room in here for both of u- Wait, is that a sleeping bag you brought?"

"Why yes, Toph, this was my secret backup plan, because I am the 'Plan Guy', so I'm always prepared". She felt him rearrange himself on the right side of the tent, leaving her only a few inches. She snuggled in anyway; not afraid to challenge him to a battle of endurance. Eventually one of them was going to get too uncomfortable and sleep outside.

This went for a couple hours. Toph had become sore from the cold, hard rock pressing down on her back. Her face was pressed into Sokka's chest, and to her dismay it was actually very comfortable. Sokka was snoring lightly, and Toph knew he was asleep. She slowly removed her arms from her sides and wrapped them around his neck, and pressed her body into his. Snuggling her face back into his chest she wrapped her legs around his waist, soaking in his body heat. Finally, Toph fell asleep.


Authors Note: I know all the fans hated the movie, but I thought it was decent. Books 2 & 3 have a lot of potential... provided they get a new writer and the casting director doesn't fuck up when picking an actress for Toph ;3
