Happy Birthday Sifu Toph!

The sun was shinning for the new world and the gang rested near by Lake Laogai. Many things happened last time they were here. Now the war was over and it was peaceful again. The four nations lived together in harmony. Trust should be gained but they all agreed to destroy the armies and dismiss the soldiers so that, they can go back to their families and find a job. The gang itself was ready to fall apart. Zuko and Katara would go to the Fire Nation, Sokka and Suki would go to the South Pole, Aang would rebuilt the Air Temples and Toph would probably go back to her prison; her parent's house. They had dinner by the fire. Tomorrow, they would take different and separated roads. It was midnight and there was a full moon on the sky. Toph's expression changed when she heard Ba Sing Se's big clock revealing that the day has changed. The gang went to sleep.

'Another year of loneliness, I am so happy that I met the gang. A year of happiness just ended. Happy birthday Toph.' She whispered, a tear escaping her eye and went to sleep.

The next morning she woke up and found the others packing. They all wanted to move on with their lives. All except her. She wanted to stay like that forever; happy. After today, nothing would be the same. No one noticed that she left the camp really upset; all except Aang.

He ran after her and found her sitting at the other side of the lake. He walked towards her from behind and heard her cry.

'What's wrong T.?' he asked worried. She didn't answer. The only thing he could hear was her sobs. She turned around to face him with a fake smile.

'Everything is fine Twinkle-toes.' She said. He hugged her.

'Toph please, tell me what's wrong?' she hugged back.

'Nothing, really.' She lied.

'Toph, don't lie. Trust me…' she hugged him tighter.

'Today is the worst day of my life.'

'Why? Because the gang is breaking up? We will visit.'

'No, it's not that. I don't want to go back to my parent's prison. I want to be free.'

He broke the hug and gazed deep into her eyes. She was on the verge of tears.

'You can come with me.' He proposed seriously.

'You want me to live with you?' she asked shocked.

'Sure, I do. Will you?'

'I'd love to Aang! How can I repay you?' she hugged him tightly and felt happy.

'Actually there is something you can do for me…' he said with an evil smile.

'Name it!' Toph said excited that the she and the airbender would live together.

'I want you to close your eyes.'

She did as he wished. He looked at her; she was beautiful; like an angel. He leaned down to touch her lips with his. He kissed softly. She widened her eyes with his action. She didn't expect that! He stopped and looked at her, she seem to be confused. She then grabbed him and kissed him passionately. He deepened the kiss brushing his tongue into her lips for permission to enter and the permission was granted. When the broke the kiss, they were breathless, they looked at each other.

'I love you Toph.' He said.

'I love you too Aang!' she smiled.

'Happy birthday Sifu Toph.' Aang said.

Toph's smile widened. For the first time in her life, she enjoyed her birthday, she was happy. She was finally happy in the arms of her student…
