Day 2: Music

Disclaimer: I do not own ATLA and any of its character

Singing nomads and Sokka don't blend. But somehow singing nomads and Sokka often stumble across each other, much to his horror. And Sokka has the universe to blame. Yeah, it must be the universe.

"And Sokka guiiides us through the valleeeyyy.."

"I'm not guiding," Sokka muttered. Sokka met the nomads and they started to tag along. And when asked where they were headed to, they said nowhere!

Sokka sighed. It's not like he hated them or anything but they're just too different. They never had a plan which made Sokka planted a big "crazy" mark on their foreheads. Furthermore, who else in the world sang and danced and walked? Sokka just didn't get them.

"Walking to the sunset"

"Pretty pretty valley"

"Walking to the.."

It got worse then than ever that they kept making googly eyes on him. I mean, if it's the matter of love, they're the first one to catch up. I was just looking at Toph (yeah, looking!) when they started to cough and made funny faces, saying I had 'that' look. Thank Oma Toph can't see!

"Hey, guys! Do you think you can play a faster song?" Toph requested.

"Sure Toph the earthbender. Why not?" Chong, one of the nomads, replied gleefully.

"Hey hoo.. For a faster song"

"Speed up speed up for a happy song"

"Speed up speed up.."

"What?" Sokka asked, incredulous.

Toph laughed beside him. "See? Faster music makes us walk faster," she said, hopping.

"Now that you mention it," Sokka said, amused. "Let's play a super fast song!" he yelled.

"Alright Sokka! Whatever your plan is," Moku replied, beating fast on his djembe.

"Heyla!"

"They want the fastest song!"

"Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala..."

Sokka and Toph laughed. It was a funny sight really, a group of people running while playing music with two teenagers laughing merrily.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"So, you guys weren't from the musical?" Lily asked, taking out a napkin and stacked all the fruits in her bag.

"Me and my wife really enjoyed it," Chong said melodiously, strumming his pipa.

The group was surrounding the campfire, idle chatting. Unlike Sokka, Toph was actually interested in listening to the nomad's stories. Later on, Sokka would discover it was because they describe things vividly.

"No, we were from a meat shop," sokka answered simply. "They have good meat."

"Ooh," lily said, making a big O with her lips.

"We are supposed to see Aang in the next town two days from now," Toph added.

"Oh, the avatar! How is he doing? What about the other water tribe girl?"Moku asked.

"He and Katara are fine," Toph laughed." In fact, they're now with each other."

"Oooohh," the nomads sang suggestively.

Sokka slapped his forehead.

"Why did you split up?" Lily asked.

"We just wanted to go out on our own and have fun. Those meetings the avatar attend to are boring," toph explained.

"Meat's ready," Chong announced,"let's dig in!"

They all ate in comfortable silence.

"Have some berries," lily offered.

"Oh nooo," sokka rejected. "Don't eat it, Toph. It's another mushy potion, isn't it?" Sokka accused.

The nomads stared at each other. "It's love potion not mushy potion. But these are just berries," chong said.

"That's the ingredient for the potion if I'm not mistaken!" Sokka argued.

"I'm going to retreat," toph said and walked away to a tree 10 steps from the camp.

"I'm going too." Sokka quickly followed and trudged to where toph was.

The nomads started to poke each other and laughed.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"You're not sleeping yet, right?" Sokka sat down beside her.

"No," toph shrugged.

"Sooo, uhm..."

"They're playing again," toph stated.

"Yeah," sokka replied. Looking at the nomads who were playing with their instruments serenely. "You want me to play for you?" Sokka asked, taking out a flute.

"Where did you get it?" Toph asked.

"Bought it from the shop back the town." Sokka started playing a tune.

Toph scooted closer to Sokka and rested her hea on his shoulder, causing Sokka's heart to go in frantic.

Concentrate, sokka! You can do this!

"Sokka..?"

Crap! She knows!

"Your beat is off. You're suddenly playing faster than you're supposed to," toph pointed out. She sat up straight and grinned. "Nervous much?"

"I'm not nervous about my playing. Maybe because I was playing for you."

What?! Sokka could've slapped himself. Worst pickup line ever!

Sokka thought he could see a glint of hurt in Toph's face. Toph closed her eyes and crossed her arms, sokka called it the i-dont-care pose and said," I'm sorry you can't concentrate around the blind bandit but I didn't build this persona to inti-"

Just like that, Sokka grabbed her shoulder and kissed her.

Toph could feel electricity flowed through her body. She was surprised, pleasantly surprised. She wrapped her hands around Sokka's neck and kissed him back. It felt so right, she would stay this way forever.

Sokka didn't expect the earthbending prodigy to kiss him back. Her kiss was sweet but powerful, it would burn him alive. Wow! he thought, kissed her harder in the beat of the distant music played by the nomads.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

" Sokka and To-" Moku started to sing.

"shhhh!" The entire gang shushed him.

"No singing, Moku. Just music." Chong said, handling his pipa.

"You mean like this?" Moku strummed the pipa, emitting a sweet melody.

"Yeah, that's it, let the music guide," Chong replied, and took his wife's hand for a dance.

That's it! I hope you like. Leave your thoughts please! Thank you!
