Thinking Chapter 1: She's No You, an avatar: last airbender fanfic

A/N: I had to do it. I really did. I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender, if I did, then Toph and Aang would totally be the main couple, and Aang would have given up the Avatar State for Toph and not Katara. I also don't own Jesse McCartney's She's No You… no comment on that one. Just love the song (the guy can smell my farts for all I care… inside joke, read Randomosity for Nincompoops if you want to understand.)

Summary: AU Aang's thoughts about Toph, in song. Major Taang. What? It's my favorite pairing, after all.

Everybody knows my obsession with the Pop Sensation Katara. Everyone. Even my best friend, Toph. So when my whole class went on a paid trip to Hollywood, everyone thought I'd get hooked up with her, Katara, I mean. But when I saw how Toph looked at me that morning when I picked her up so we could meet the rest of the class at the airport, I knew she was the one I wanted. Ty Lee and Mai squeal and flirt around me, but she hangs back and watches my back, and I don't know what I'd do without her.

They gotta lotta girls who know they got it goin' on
But nothings ever a comparison to you
Now can't you see
that you're the only one I really want
And everything I need is everything you do

Any girl walk by, don't matter
'Cause you're looking so much better
Don't ever need to get caught up in jealousy
She could be a supermodel
Every magazine the cover
She'll never ever mean a thing to me

We were put into groups. I was with Toph, Haru, Ty Lee, Mai and Jet. We were in the back of the plane, next to the bathrooms. We were all good friends, though, so we had a good enough time. The trip from New York to Los Angeles was an… interesting one.

When we landed and got our bags, we had a mix up with our bus, and had to wait an hour for the guy to get there (you can say he was direction-impaired). But being next to Toph was the best thing to happen to me.

If she hadn't asked about Katara, who was on the cover of the magazine she was reading.

"She's beautiful, isn't she?" she asked, holding up the latest picture. I could here a tint of sadness in her voice. I remembered she couldn't see, and knew she was getting information out of me.

She's no you…oh no
You give me more than I could ever want
She's no you…oh no!
I'm satisfied with the one I got
'Cause you're all the girl that I ever dreamed
She's only a picture on a magazine
She's no you
She's no you

I didn't speak to her on the bus, and instead sat next to Jet.

"What's going on between you and Toph, Aang?" he asked me.

"We're fine," I replied, staring the blind girl down.

When we got to the hotel, I had a room assignment with Jet, Haru, and Longshot. Jet and Haru called the bed next to the window, so Haru and I got the closet. It was only fair.

Jet and Haru decided to go swimming with Mai and Ty Lee. They were secretly dating, Haru with Ty Lee and Jet with Mai. Longshot, with his muted silence, and I decided to watch TV. We were watching MTV, and Katara, of course, was doing her latest music video.

I immediately thought of Toph.

They got a lot of girls who dance in all the videos
But I prefer the way you do, the way you move
You're more than beautiful
and I just wanna let you know
That all I ever need is what I've got with you

Any girl walk by, don't matter
Every time you're looking better
I think you're perfect,
there ain't nothing I would change
She can be a supermodel
Every magazine the cover
She'll never ever take my heart away

There was a silent knock on my door. Longshot opened it, and in popped his girl friend, Smellerbee, she called herself. Behind her was Toph, who hung back silently as I ignored her.

She knew I was watching Katara, she always did when we would hang out together.

"We're going to see her tomorrow," Smellerbee told us.

"I heard she's got a boyfriend, that actor, Zuko," Toph said, her voice egging in my direction.

"Yeah, and her brother's dating Zuko's sister," I replied, laughing.

Toph looked at me, and I looked at her.

No one's ever gonna get to me…oh
The way you do now baby can't you see?
That you are the one…the only one
Who's ever made me feel this way
Nothing's ever coming even close…no
No one's ever been comparable
To you

Toph finally sat down next to me.

"So… who's your roomies?" I asked, trying to make conversation. I was directing this at Toph, but Smellerbee answered:

"Well, I'm in her room, along with Mai and Ty Lee."

I nodded sagely, but kept my eyes on Toph.

"You can stop staring at me, Twinkletoes," she said, using my preschool name. I had always been a klutz.

Longshot looked at Smellerbee, who looked back. They both stood up, taking each other's hand. They both left the room, leaving me and Toph still glaring at each other.

"What do you want from me, Toph?" I asked, turning the TV off so I wouldn't get distracted.

"I-I don't know anymore, Aang!" Toph yelled, getting up and moving to the window.

"'Cause… Katara doesn't matter to me anymore," I stuttered, standing. I stood rooted to the spot, looking at Toph's long, slender back.

I heard and intake of breath from the blind girl, and her hand went up to her mouth. I walked slowly up to her and she turned to face me. Her hand went from her mouth to my cheek. I leaned down and let my breath into her face, and she smiled. I went the rest of the way, pressing my lips to hers. She stood on her tip toes a little, so she could kiss me back.

I don't want…nothing… I don't got
I don't need…nothing…but you
I can't get…more than…you give me
So don't stop anything you do
You're all that…all that…and then some
You know what…just what…I need
And no girl…no place…nowhere
Could mean a thing to me

A/N: That was fun… I may even make another one. (You know me and AU Avatar! Especially Taang! Or you should by now… WOOT!)
