Anng stared at the board with an intent look on his face. "I move my Lotus tile two spaces forward and three spaces o the side!" He said with a dramatic tone in his voice. Toph rolled her eyes (kind of). "I have trapped you Zuko! Surrender now!"

Zuko moved a piece forward and took out three of Anng's pieces. He had a cynical look on his face. How can anyone get so into this game? He thought. Anng's brow furrowed.

"That was a great move but my next move will be twice as good!"

"Shut up!" Toph said, exasperated flooding her tone. "Your acting like this game is going to determine the fate of the world!"

"You just pissed because I'm kicking your butt." Anng replied.

"If you don't shut up I will kick your ass so hard that you'll land in the North Pole!" Toph thundered.

"Now, now; we're all just weary from all of the traveling we've done," Iroh said. They had stopped at an inn during their travel.

"They're just jealous of my mad skill!" Said Anng. "Check it out!" He pulled out his marble and started to spin it around. Toph groaned. Iroh clapped the way he clapped every time Anng did the trick. Anng raised his eyebrows twice, an ape like grin covered the whole bottom half of his mouth.

"Stop encouraging him uncle," Zuko moaned. Katara touched his arm. He quickly withdrew his arm. "What?" he snapped.

"Nothing," she said taken aback. He stared at her frowning. She quickly glanced at Sokka who was snoring next to her, a bit of drool hung out of his mouth.

"Look, you put Sokka to sleep," Toph said to Anng. Katara gently shook him but he continued to snore. Toph stomped on the ground sending a piece of earth up to his head and hitting him just below his ponytail. He woke with a start.

"You know I have a better game for us to play," said Iroh. He walked over to his bag and pulled out a small box cut with cherry oak. Blue letters were carved on the lid, which said Truth or Dare. "The way you play this game is by picking a card. The card will either have a question on it that you must answer truthfully or a dare on it, which will be something embarrassing that you must do." Know one said anything for several minutes. Finally Katara spoke up.

"Sounds fun, lets play!" She said, beaming.

"Yeah!" said Anng. He let out a few gusts of air, which somewhat neatly put the pi shu pieces back in the pi shu box. He moved the truth or dare game at the center of the table. "Me first!" He picked up a card from the box and read. "'Have you ever walked in on some one naked? If so who?'" He thought for a moment. "This monk who had hair on his back at the air temple!" he said with a shudder. "He also had hair in places that shouldn't be mentioned in front of girls." The others shuddered with him this time except Sokka.

"I thought all guys had hair there." They all looked at him. "Should I not have hair there? I mean do you guys not have hair there? Do you guys shave it or something?

"Shut up Sokka," Toph said. He sunk in his chair slightly. "My turn," she said. She picked a card and handed it to Sokka to read. His eyes scanned the card. He swallowed. He looked around at the others. "Well what does it say?" Toph demanded impatiently. He looked quite mortified.

"Kiss the person on your left." Sokka was that person. The others looked astounded, even Zuko raised an eyebrow. Anng snatched the card from him in disbelief. "It's true," he said as his eyes trailed over the card. Toph's lip twitched for a nano second then a look of discussed crossed her face but Anng could have sworn that that lip twitch was a smile. No one else noticed.

"So I have to kiss her?" Sokka asked.

"No dumb ass, I have to kiss you," said Toph even though she hadn't actually read the card. There was an awkward pause.

"Uh, do you wanna do that now?" he asked.

"Not really, but I kinda have to," she replied. Sokka looked at her nervously as she still continued to sit there, with her arms folded.

"Do you plan to do it this this year?" Sokka asked impatiently. She raised an eyebrow.

"Someone's exited. But I can't blame you, Sokka. I'm blind and I can even see that I'm a sexy beast," she joked.

"More like a beast that needs to be locked in a cage," Sokka joked. Anng snickered. The smile quickly despaired from Toph's face. She didn't look amused.

"Hey don't be a jerk." Katara said. She knew how Toph felt about the way she looked.

"He's right you know," she said getting up.

"Don't listen to him, he's an idiot," Katara said. She glared at Sokka. He pretended to look innocent.

"I know that Katara," Toph said, her voice quivered slightly. She tried to hide it but she was upset by Sokka's comment. Sokka Anng seemed to see this. He was good at reading peoples emotions. Probably had something to do with being the Avatar.

"He didn't mean it, he was just joking Toph," He said.

"You're a beautiful young girl," Iroh said that stupid grin still pasted on his face. The grin normally made Toph feel good but she was quite annoyed now. She was used to people insulting her about the way she looked but it really hurt that Sokka could think that way about her. Katara and now Iroh continued to glare at Sokka.

"What did I do?" he asked. He glanced at Zuko who had a blank exasperation on his face but his arms were crossed over his chest and he seemed to be taking everything in. "So do you wanna kiss me or not?" he sounded a bit annoyed and felt awkward because of the glares he was revising.

"Like I said I don't want to but I kind of have to," she said. She continued to stand were she was.

"This is kinda awkward, can we get it over with?" Toph felt a lump in her throat. But then she smiled.

"Sure thing she said. Close your eyes and pucker up," she said.
