AN: Here is my submission to Tokka week. My First Avatar Story. Woo. Tell me if you like it. I am going to try and combine all of the weeks prompts into one story...so...enjoy.

Toph

"Hey Snoozles!" I shouted at him as he was lost in his thoughts, looking over the edge of the small mountain we were camped on. The village was on the other side and didn't disrupt the view to the forest bellow.

It was a few months since The War's end and we took some time off before finally doing "Avatar Stuff", as Sokka calls it. Our first task was to meet with King Bumi, in Omashu to see if he could help find Kuei before someone replaced him on the throne. We were about halfway there, but stopped for the night. No one was particularly tired, just a bit bored.

"Hey Toph, what's up?" he responded, coming out of his dream world. I always thought it would be fun to visit there once in a while; it must be nice, he goes there all the time. He was fumbling with a small, wooden box in his hands.

"Nothing much," I responded, sitting down next to him. "What's in your hands?"

"Just a wooden box." His heart rate sped up. I hit a nerve.

"Is it something for Suki?" His heart rate went up just a little bit more. Man, I was on a roll.

"Sort of…" he trailed off. Very mysterious.

"C'mon, what'sit?" I scooted closer and he shifted the box off to the side. "Can I see it?"

"No" he responded, like he was sure that this was the right answer.

"And why not?" I asked all the more curious.

"Because you're blind." I stared at him for a second, and then cracked up laughing.

"Ok, good one there Snoozles. We'll stay off the subject of the little wooden box that has mysteries unknown."

"Thanks"

"You sure you don't want to tell me?"

"Yes"

"Fine, so … what were you thinkin' 'bout?" I asked a bit more seriously.

"Everything and nothing," he said, looking up to the stars. I followed suit, even if I couldn't see them. "Now that the war is over, it just seems so vast and open, you know?"

I started to drift off into a fantasy. One were I was traveling the world, the old fashion way. No Appa, no crazy firebenders and no hiding. Just her, and Sokka traveling the … Wait, what!

I abruptly left that fantasy and took account of what just happened in my mind. Ok, so I had, well have, a huge crush on him, but that doesn't mean I get to go fantasizing about him and me together. He has Suki and he loves me like a little sister. That's enough right?

I hung my head; it was no where near close enough. "Not really." I mumbled.

"What do you mean? We saved the world!" He threw his arms into the air for emphasis, and let one come to rest across my shoulders. He pulled me closer, but it was too dark to see clearly that my face had turned a slight shade of pink. "We no longer have to hide. We could go to any town in the entire world and people would know who we are! What could not make this awesome?"

I wanted to tell him, but that would be mean of me, he had Suki. Besides, I didn't even know if he felt the same about me.

"Nothing, never mind. It's all great. I'm gonna' take a walk." I sighed and jumped off the mountain, using my earthbending to warrant a safe landing.

Walking in the forest is very is really relaxing. I take in all the vibrations of the plants and animals and it helps to calm my crazy brain. I took stock of what had happened within our little group.

Zuko had left our group to become Fire Lord when we won the war, and Aang and Katara had finnaly got together. We were now heralded as heroes and know from one end of the world to another. It's great. It's all, really great.

I started heading back for camp. It was getting really dark and even though I wouldn't care, everyone else would.

I was about halfway back to camp, when I felt Sokka's vibrations. What the heck is he doing out here? Probably something mysterious.

I snuck up to where he was and his behind the bushes. I felt the little wooden box, open, on the ground.Time for the mystery to be revealed!

I was ready to jump out my hiding spot, when I felt Suki approach.

"Sokka, it's getting dark, we should get back to camp." She put an arm around his shoulder. "Hey, what's that?"

"Oh, it's err nothing…" he responded. His heart rate was skyrocketing. He grabbed the box off the ground and was nervously stuffing the mystery back inside.

"It looks like a betrothal necklace! Oh Sokka…" everything became a blur. I could feel tears running down cheeks and I started to run back to camp. I'm sure he heard me. Good. He better know that he broke my heart.
