Toph peered around the tree at the camp, her eerily pale eyes glistening in the moonlight. She sighed, pressing her back against the tree as she turned back around. Closing her eyes, she slid to the ground. Toph had been supposed to be retrieving firewood, but it wasn't going so well I guess you could say. She traced her finger along the rough bark, accidentally slicing her finger on the jagged edges. She winced slightly, but calmly put her finger into her mouth and licked the blood off of her finger.
Lately, things had gotten so much worse. Toph glanced around the tree again. There he was, sitting by the fire. Of all people, why did Twinkle Toes make her feel like this?
She clutched her chest as her heart rate suddenly picked up again. Toph grit her teeth. Why?
She let her head fall back onto the tree. What was wrong with her? Why was this happening to her now of all times?
Listening to the sound of her own heartbeat, Toph let her mind wander. Did this happen to other people too? What would the others say if they found out that her heart rate seemed to sky rocket whenever she was around that bald air monk?
Was this normal? She grimaced bitterly. Normal. Yeah, right. Their little group was anything but. Closing her eyes again, Toph focused on something else in order to get her mind off of her racing heartbeat.
Toph remembered other times when she felt people's heart rates speed up. Like Sugar Queen's, whenever she was around hothead. Or meathead, whenever he was around fangirl (a.k.a Suki). But why? It was so obvious to see that those pairs liked each other, but it couldn't be the same for her could it? The realization suddenly slammed into Toph like a kick in the gut.
Katara's head snapped up in surprise as there was a loud crashing noise from the trees, and a very enraged Toph came through.
Aang stood up, instantly worried even as she turned her murderous glare on the clueless bald monk.
"Toph what's the— oof!" Aang went flying half way across the clearing as Toph sent a barrage of large rocks at him.
Much to everyone else's surprise, Toph then marched across the clearing, heaved Aang up by his shirt, and planted a hot kiss on his unsuspecting lips.
She pushed him down again, and licked her lips. "Stay away from me!" Toph then said, before marching straight back to her earth tent and slamming the "door". Katara could hardly hide the shock from her face; the others weren't doing a very good job either. She glanced over at Aang, who had a goofy smile on his face.
