A/N: Here's chapter number 2! Thanks for the reviews. I have also noticed the lack of Toko/Zoph fanfiction, and I just don't understand why! It's the best couple and it's so much fun to write about them! And I am determined to change that! I'm hoping that us Toko fans might be able to sway some more over to our side! Anyway, here's the next chapter. This story will probably stay mostly in the throne room.

Chapter two: She Knew

Zuko sat alone, a silent battle taking place inside of him. On one hand, he could stay there. Toph was out with her date, and he had no clue what Longshot might be doing with her. He threatened the young boy, but he wasn't sure if it was enough to keep the teenager's hands off of Toph. The more Zuko thought about it, the angrier he became.

On the other hand, Zuko could follow the two. But of course, Toph could probably feel him as he walked. And she would get very angry if she found out that he was spying on her. She would want to know why and he wouldn't be able to tell her.

So here he was. He had to decide what was worse, letting Longshot have his way with Toph and possibly losing her to him, or spying on them together and risk getting caught and/or beaten to a pulp by Toph. Great emotional pain, or unbelievable physical pain? A broken heart or a broken skull?

At first, Zuko had decided to remain in his home, but one thought about Longshot made his blood boil. He stomped out the doors and was soon on his way to find his girl and her date.

It wasn't long before he found them. They were at a small restaurant, with large, open windows and some outside tables. Toph and Longshot sat at one of these, and were the only ones at an outside table. They had the place to themselves.

Zuko hid in a nearby bush. Toph didn't seem to notice him at all. She was totally consumed in her conversation. But, she was doing all of the talking. Longshot only nodded or shook his head every now and then, yet the smile he had never faded. The same smile was plastered upon Toph's face as well.

It seemed like they were there for hours. Zuko heard all of Toph's giggles, and saw how she made Longshot grin and the boy's attempts to hold back his own laughter. It was the moment that Longshot put his hand on Toph's that made Zuko want to boil him alive.

The night seemed to drag on for Zuko, and his muscles were aching from crouching in the bushes, but eventually the two left the restaurant and began their walk home. Zuko rushed to make it there before them, and barely did so. He had just jumped onto the throne before Toph cam barging in the room.

"So Princess, did you enjoy your quiet evening home?" she smirked. Zuko stared at her, not sure if she was being serious or sarcastic. He was afraid to answer her. If she was being serious, he might say something that would give away his true location during her date. If she was being sarcastic, she would get violent when he played dumb. So, he just sat there in silence.

Toph furrowed her brow. He wasn't going to answer her question, and she didn't want to be around an irritating firebender unless she was the cause of his bad mood.

"Listen Hothead. I'm not even going to bother talking to you if you're just going to give me the cold shoulder and spend all day tomorrow sulking all because I went out on one date!" She crossed her arms.

Zuko sighed. He didn't understand this girl. She can be the one that knows him better than anyone else, and still not notice the things that he does to express his emotions. She could tell him to his face that she knows he loves her, but still be surprised when he's upset that she's going out with other guys.

"Why did you go on a date with Longshot?"

"Why do you care? I mean, you're acting as if it were my idea!" Toph yelled, exasperated with Zuko. "Katara was the one who set me up on this date anyway!"

Zuko's mouth dropped. Katara was the one who started all of this?!

"This was all Katara's idea?"

"Duh! In fact, I would have had nothing to do with this if she hadn't pushed me into it! Which reminds me," she smirked, "I have another date with some other earthbender she met."

"Another date? You can't!" Zuko was about to faint right there on the spot.

"And you're gonna stop me?" Toph moved her hands to her hips and glared at the Fire Lord.

"Yes, I am!"

"Why can't you just admit it? You don't want me to go on dates because you want me yourself!" Zuko was taken aback, surprised at her words.

"How can you be so sure about that?" he challenged.

"Cut the crap, Blue Spirit! You threatened to fillet my date and spied on me!" Zuko was breathless. He could only think one thing. She knew.

A/N: Uh oh, suspension point! Don't you just love little Toph, and how she can hide what she knows! She heard everything that Zuko said, and that was the reason she left so quickly. Who knows what might have happened if she didn't! I have already started the next chapter and it has a special treat(hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge )! And I have a pretty good idea of how the story will go, it should be about 2 or 3 more chapters longer. Keep reviewing, I need to know if you want me to continue. Ta ta!
