The proposal

"Hey Toph what are you doing?" Aang asked his blind Earth bending teacher.

"Looking at the view isn't it great?" Toph said, with a smile on her lips.

"Yah, it's just perfect." Aang agreed. Then Toph just started laughing. Ever since the war had ended she had been doing that a whole lot more. She felt so free, and strong. Having been the one to beat Azula, not even her parents could claim that she was helpless. She had finally proved to the world that she could fend for herself; of course she had never had to prove that to Aang. She stopped laughing and looked at Aang; he looked as confused as ever. Then she just laughed harder, so hard in fact it brought tears to her eyes. That brought Aang's attention to her eyes and it hit him. But to Toph's surprise, he didn't join in laughing; he just seemed to get flustered.

"What's wrong Twinkletoes?" She asked.

"Well… um, Toph?" He asked.

"What?" She encouraged.

"Will you marry me?" Aang asked hopefully. The ever present grin left her face in shock.

"M-marry you?" She asked shocked. She couldn't believe it, marriage; they were too young weren't they? Then she thought about it, she was nineteen, not too young. Aang looked disappointed.

"I understand if you don't." Aang said disappointed. Then he looked so heartbroken, it reminded her of the time when he had seen Zuko proposing to Katara. The look on Zuko's face when he realized that he had an audience he still got teased about it to this day. Toph, Most inappropriately, started laughing again. Aang looked confused again, his bewildered face made Toph made laugh harder. That was one of the things she loved about Aang, his expressions, they were almost to big for his face. Then she realized, love, she had just thought, love. She realized that she did love Aang, every time she thought about him, that word crept into her thoughts.

"Yes!" she gasped, through her laughter.

"What!?" Aang asked, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"I said yes Twinkletoes!" she screamed, and Aang was so shocked he fell onto the floor as if he had been pushed. Toph landed next to him, still laughing histaricly, and she wasn't quite sure why. This time Aang joined in, and they both sat there laughing. When they were finally able to catch their breath Toph asked,

"So where's my engagement necklace?" Aang looked horrified,

"Well, I wasn't sure if you'd say yes, so I haven't made it yet." He apologized.

"Well I can think of a better engagement present." Toph decided, and she leaned over and kissed him. Aang's hart jumped a mile, then he kissed her back. When they broke apart Toph declared,

"This is the weirdest proposal ever, and that's what I love about you."
