You Knew the Avatar?

"Dad! I thought we were going to visit Aunt Katara!" Kenna screamed at the top of her lungs. She really wanted to get out of the house. Now.

"We're going, we're going. Calm down, 'ken. Your mother just needs to get ready. You know how she is," Sokka said, chuckling. Suki walked through the door.

"Well, Katara said we needed to leave now, or else we wouldn't be on time for the feast. So we'd better get going. I heard Toph and Aang were going to be there, too," she said. Kenna was too busy playing with her dolls to realize what they were saying.

"Whoa. Toph? She'd usually ditch these kinds of things at the first second, and go outside to earthbend," said Sokka. Suki laughed softly.

"Sounds like Toph."

After a few minutes, Sokka, Suki, and their only daughter (so far) Kenna were ready to get on the ship. They walked to the port, and left.

"You haven't been paying attention! They arrived an hour ago. Toph's probably thrown at least six hundred rocks at his head by now. Well, that's pretty much normal Toph behavior, but, still!" the Fire Lord shouted. Katara chuckled. Zuko even chuckled at what he had just said. They both heard a knock at the door. Without permission, Sokka barged into the room with Suki and Kenna.

"Sokka! I told you that they were going to let you in. Are you deaf?" Suki asked. Sokka smirked.

"HAH! NEW RECORD!" Toph screamed as she ran through the doorway.

"Uh oh… I've already guessed what record you're talking about…," Aang said, leaning on the doorframe. Kenna was so confused. Who are these people?

"Good ole Toph, right?" Sokka said while patting Aang on the back. Aang winced.

"Just take the word 'good' and replace it with 'painful'," he said. Sokka agreed, quietly, so Toph wouldn't hear. But she did anyway. Kenna ran and hugged Katara.

"Kenna! It's so nice to see you! You're so big," she said. Kenna grinned. Zuko walked up to her and threw her in the air.

"How's my favorite niece?" he asked. Kenna chuckled.

"I'm your only niece!" she said.

"Ugh. Family moment. Twinkle-toes, I'm dragging you with me to earthbend. Let's get to it," Toph said. She grabbed Aang's collar and dragged him outside.

"Well, I said I was going to help Zuko and Katara with the food, so I'll be helping them. I'll see you in a couple of hours," Suki said. Zuko, Katara, and Suki walked out of the room, and into the kitchen.

"Hm. I guess this would be a good time to tell you a story. It's a good one," Sokka said. Kenna looked confused.

"Now? Mommy probably will ask me to help," she said. Her father chuckled.

"Well, that woman that was just in here, her name is Toph. She's actually the greatest earthbender in the world. Kind of neat, huh?" he said. Kenna looked shocked.

"What?! You know the best earthbender in the world?!" she shouted, a surprised look on her face.

"Yeah. But that's not even the half of it. Me, Aunt Katara, your mother, and Uncle Zuko actually traveled around the world with-" Sokka was interrupted.

"WAIT! Don't get to the best part! It sounds good," Kenna screamed. Sokka grinned.

"Well. We traveled the world with the Avatar. Quote-on-quote, 'Twinkle Toes'. As Toph would call him. Yeah," he said. Kenna looked like she was about to faint. She clutched her rag doll so firmly, that Sokka thought she was going to rip it. The Avatar?

"W… wha… what?!" she shouted, exasperated. Sokka just looked at her to see her reaction.

"He's outside, probably being beaten up. You should go check," Sokka said. Kenna didn't hesitate, and ran outside to see two people in their fighting stances, walking in a circle, facing each other. Kenna hid behind something, and watched. Toph was about to say that she had felt someone, but Katara walked into the scene.

"Toph, don't beat him up. Aang needs a good impression," she said. Aang pumped his fists in the air, and chuckled as if he was bragging.

"Oh come on, Sugar Queen. He's not going to be dirty… maybe just bleeding, but… he's not going to be dirty!" Toph said quickly. Katara smirked.

"Come on. Zuko wants to see you," Katara said while grabbing Aang's hand and walking away.

"Yeah, Twinkle-toes, go do your sissy chores. I hope Sugar Queen doesn't suffocate you with girly stuff," Toph said. Katara turned around while she was walking and stuck her tongue out for a few seconds at Toph. Toph crossed her arms. She turned to where she had felt someone. She sighed with relief. Good… it's only Kenna.

"Kenna, what are you doing here?" Toph asked. Kenna's jaw dropped. If she's blind… how can she see…?

"It's a long story. I can see with my feet." Kenna's jaw dropped even lower. She walked up to Toph and just stared at her for a while.

"Zuko! UGH! The plans are ruined now! Kuei's not coming?!" Katara screamed from far away. Suddenly, Aang popped out from a bush.

"I'd rather bleed than listen to them fight. He he…," he said. Toph turned so she would face him. "And… I'd rather stay in a bush all day instead of talking to officials. Being so important isn't at all what it's cracked up to be." Toph snorted.

"It's supposed to be fun? Hah, yeah. Okay. You better get back to Sugar Queen before she explodes." Aang nodded, and jumped out of the bush using his airbending. He headed towards the kitchen at the other side of the house.

"Hey, Toph, how old are you?" Kenna asked. Toph rolled her eyes.

"Sixteen. Just turned. The 'Oh Mighty Avatar' turned sixteen a couple of months ago. It was the anniversary of the defeat of the Firelord around that time," she said. Kenna looked really confused.

"Defeat of the Firelord?" Kenna asked. Toph sighed.

"Sokka hasn't even told you the story yet? Figures. Well, Aang, the airbending sissy over there, took down the Firelord a couple of years ago. You've heard of the one-hundred year war, right?" Kenna nodded. "Well, by defeating the Firelord, he ended it. He's the Avatar, you know." All of the sudden, both of them heard fireblasts being shot.

"I am SICK of hosting parties! This is madness!" the Firelord shouted. (A/N: I really had the need to write, "THIS, IS, SPARTA!") He accidentally shot a fireball in Aang's way, but he ducked, thankfully. When he stood up, he looked back at where it was shot, and turned to Zuko with a confused look.

"Hey. Nice reflexes," Zuko said. Aang shrugged. Toph wanted to break down laughing for some reason.

"Eh, I'm used to it. I need to duck from Appa's sneezes," Aang said. Zuko chuckled. Toph heard this, and sent a boulder coming straight towards Aang. He walked to the side, and the boulder crashed into the ground.

"How did you just move out of the way?! It was going lightning speed!" Toph said. Aang thought for a moment.

"Hm… I was taught," he said. Toph raised an eyebrow.

"Taught by who? The Spirits?" she said, mockingly.

"Eh, someone I knew. But anyway, Zuko, you should… get back to Katara before she…," Aang's voice trailed off. Zuko got the message, and ran away.

"Why do they all keep coming here and bugging us? Zuko's got some anger issues, I understand that, but, still!" Toph said. Both of them were relieved, just because no one was coming in to annoy them about a problem. Kenna walked in between them.

"Maybe it's because you're the greatest earthbender in the world, and you're the Avatar."
