It was supposed to go off without a hitch. But as Sokka would put it, "Something always happens."

Everyone was awake before daylight, discussing the plan. Aang and Zuko would go straight to finding the Fire Lord. Katara would lead the Waterbenders and instructed the healers to stay back for backup. Toph would lead a large group of Earthbenders into the battle field and the palace. Sokka and Hakoda would lead the Water Tribe Warriors into battle when Toph was far ahead. Everyone knew what could happen if they lost. If they lost this last battle, they lost the entire war. Aang and Zuko were talking to Katara about where to meet after it was all over. Sokka and Toph had done that already. Sokka sat sharpening his boomerang. Toph was…well Toph was all by herself thinking and in no way did she want to be disturbed. Sokka looked around at the invasion force. Almost everyone they knew was there. He sighed. He took a second look and found that there was one person missing. He walked over to his best friends.

"Hey you guys. Have you seen Toph?" They all shook their heads.

"I saw her walking around when I got up, but I haven't seen her since."

"Thanks Katara. That really helps. I'm gonna look for her." Sokka walked away and started off on his search. He finally found her on a rock. 'Of course!' He sat beside her on the large rock.

"What's up?" She looked up.

"I don't know. The sky?"

"What's bugging you?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing? C'mon Toph you can tell me." He wasn't giving up soon.

"I'm just…I'm just scared." She braced herself for a laugh but what she got was an arm draped over her shoulder.

"So am I." The silence was very comfortable.

"This is it. The last chance for everyone. And it all depends on a bunch of kids."

"Since when depending on kids become a bad thing?"

"I mean what if something happens?" His smile fell.

"Nothings gonna happen Toph. To any of us." She smiled.

"Nothing better happen or I'm holding you responsible." She poked his chest.

"I promise I won't let anything happen Toph." She pushed him off the rock.

"What was that for?" He stood up.

"For promising nothing would happen! Everything happens to us all the time!"

"Nothing's gonna happen. Let's go back to camp."

"Okay. I'll be right there." When they got back to camp, everyone was ready for the fight of their lives. Aang and Zuko left when Sokka and Toph got back. Katara left after Aang and Zuko were out of sight. Toph left when Katara was a mile away. Sokka left when Toph was over the horizon. All according to plan.

Just a heads up: NO ONES GONNA DIE IN THIS FIC!!
