A/N: As I said last time, I am going to skip Book 1 of AtLA, because hell, there's no Toph, and I really want to focus on Toph and Yung's relationship. However, a summary of Book 1 is in here though. Oh, and could someone please think of a name for their relationship? I was either thinking Yoph, or Tong. Something along those lines.

Once you read this chapter you will understand what I am talking about here, but it may appear that Toph has become a shallow character. This will be explained further in later chapters, but for now know this: If your soulmate was ripped from you, how would you feel? Then, once realising they were alive, try to imagine the joy you would feel.

Anyway, you might be wondering why such a soon update. Well, because this chapter was almost done, so I decided "Hell, let's take a day off." So I did. Anyway, still looking for that elusive beta reader. Come on guys/gals don't be shy.

THE HOMECOMING: CHAPTER 1

Aang turned to look at me. "So, now that I've pretty much got waterbending mastered, would you know any good earthbending teachers?" Struggling to control the joy and excitement that filled my faced, I pretended to think hard about it. A few seconds later, my face cleared and I looked at Aang. "Gaoling. There's a great earthbender there. One that listens to the earth, and waits to strike." Aang instantly smiled, and he turned back to guide Appa down to Gaoling. Sokka turned to look at me. "Are you from Gaoling? I've heard that's where all of the rich nobles live." I nodded affirmative, and then turned back to the front. "Let's just get down there."

We landed just outside of Gaoling, and I told Aang, Sokka and Katara to follow me. We walked through town, and Sokka marvelled at all of the wares on display. He was itching to get away, so I turned to Katara. "Do you mind if you take Sokka on a bit of a spree?" I placed a bag of gold into her hands, and she nodded. Aang looked at me curiously, and I told him why. "I think it would be better if just the Avatar and his guide showed up, and not some Water Tribe peasants as well? No offence to Katara and Sokka, but nobles don't like sharing with anyone, especially commoners." Aang nodded, and we continued up the hill. Just before we reached the Bei Fong estate, I turned to Aang. "Look, let me do the talking, okay? I know these people, and I'll introduce you. Don't speak unless I tell you so, okay?" Aang nodded again. I was glad that I had his trust. As we walked to the front gate, my heart started to swell. I'm back Toph. I'm back.

Toph was walking in her family's garden. All she could think of was Yung, and how he was probably dead. She refused to let her parents marry her off to someone else, because she said that technically she was still engaged to Yung. She heard knocking on the door, and felt the guards run to open it. She couldn't quite make out what was being said, and her feet weren't really helping her to see. Frustrated, she returned to her room, and sat there. After a few minutes, she heard the front door open, and her mother's loud squeal of surprise and happiness. Ugh, probably just one of her new dresses. Or maybe dad just bought her something nice. Now, she could hear individual voices, and one of them sounded incredibly familiar. "Mr and Mrs Bei Fong, may I present Avatar Aang." Her mother once again squealed in delight. "How wonderful to finally meet you, Avatar Aang! My husband and I completely support your efforts in whatever you do!" The new voice, that annoyingly familiar one, spoke up again. "The Avatar is grateful for your support, but he come to seek one thing. An earthbending teacher." Toph's head jerked up at that. An earthbending teacher? Well, well, well… maybe it's my chance to finally get out of this town. Her father instantly replied. "My daughter is an excellent earthbender! She learnt from Master Yu himself, and she can even see with her earthbending! I will send a servant to fetch her." Shortly after, a servant knocked on Toph's door. "Coming!" she called out. Maybe coming clean to my parents wasn't such a bad idea after all. After Yung had gone missing, Toph had come clean about her earthbending talents. Her parents had been shocked initially, but after a year, they accepted it. Now, it seems, she would be finally able to leave. Toph put on her best dress, and walked out to her father's meeting room. Her feet picked up a skinny, tall 16 year old. The Avatar. Her parents were on the pedestals, as usual. But, there was someone else. Someone unknown. Toph racked her memory, until her memories were restored when he spoke. "The Avatar thanks you for your help."

When I saw Toph walk out from the passageway, my heart jumped into my throat. She's beautiful. It appeared that Toph was still trying to figure out who I was, so I decided to speak. "The Avatar thanks you for your help." Toph's head shot up, and I saw a tear run down her cheek. "Yung?" She croaked. Her parents instantly whipped their heads around, and, once they had a better look at me, shock appeared on their faces. I looked at Toph, a single tear rolling down my cheek. "The one and only." Toph ran to me, instantly hugging me, then kissing me long and hard. I responded likewise, so happy to see her again. Her parent's faces lit up in happiness, and Aang just stood there in shock, like he couldn't believe what was going on. After a few minutes, Toph stopped and hugged me even harder. "I thought you died." She whispered into my clothes. "I thought I did too. Until I saw you." I responded. She looked up at me, and smiled. "Ah, Yung! So good to see you again!" That was Mr Bei Fong. "If you don't mind me asking–" I turned to look at him. "Yes, my parents company is still running, and yes, I would still like to marry your daughter." Toph's smile, if it was possible, became even wider. Aang just collapsed back into his chair, still overwhelmed. Mr and Mrs Bei Fong smiled, and began discussing weeding dates. Toph wanted it to be tomorrow, and so did I, so the Bei Fong's agreed.

As I left the estate with Toph on my arm, Aang began piling questions on until Toph shut him up. "Look, Twinkle Toes, my fiancé and I have been engaged for two years now, and I think that he doesn't need you piling questions onto him." I smiled down at Toph. Aang, thankfully, shut his mouth and shrugged. I turned to Toph. "Come on, you've gotta meet the rest of my new friends!" Toph laughed, and nodded. As we walked down the high street, Toph pointed out changes made while I was gone. As we walked past a shop with bags in it, Aang tapped me on the shoulder, and I saw Sokka trying to decide whether to buy a bag. Rolling my eyes, I walked into the store and looked at Katara. She shrugged, and I grabbed the bag from Sokka and placed on the counter, and gave the cashier two gold coins to pay for it. I turned around, then threw the bag at Sokka, who was still looking bewildered. Unfortunately, he wasn't fast enough to catch the bag, and it hit him straight in the forehead. He staggered back, and tripped and fell on the floor. Toph laughed, and Katara looked at her. "Katara, this is my fiancé, Toph Bei Fong." Katara's eyes grew wide, and Top laughed and kissed my cheek. "Jeez, that not the only thing I am." I laughed, and added, "She's also Aang's new earthbending teacher." Katara nodded still wide eyed. Sokka got up, and he was also wide-eyed. "Wait, Yung's getting MARRIED?" I nodded. "The wedding's tomorrow." Katara almost fainted in shock, and began piling me with questions. "How long have you two known each other? Have you only just got engaged? Why are you getting married so soon?" As Katara paused to draw in breath, I held up a hand. "Woah Katara. Slow down. We've known each other for four years now, and we have been engaged for two of those. If you ask me, this wedding's two years too late." Understanding passed through Katara's eyes. "Ah, so you were engaged BEFORE you left on your trip. Why didn't you ever say anything about her?" I sighed. "Because, I knew that if I did, you'd spend all day trying to comfort me and coddle me. And I really didn't need that. Especially since I couldn't leave or contact her." Katara nodded. Sokka spoke up. "So, when do we leave? After tomorrow?" I shook my head. "Two days. That's how long we will spend here. One day for the wedding, another for a short honeymoon. Tradition." Aang and Katara nodded, by Sokka was only concerned about one thing: "Am I best man?" I shook my head. "No, my eldest brother gets that honour." Sokka sighed. "You have a brother now? How much do we NOT know about you?" I smirked. "A lot. Look, all you need to know is that I'm getting married, so you guys are gonna be on your own until the wedding. Just hand out at the Bei Fong's place for a while. I need to bring Toph up to speed with past events." The three of the nodded, and I led Toph out of the shop. "Have you seen your brother yet?" I nodded. "Yeah, earlier today while those three were getting breakfast. He's running the company now, and he's doing a great job. My sister's fine as well, just turned 14." Toph nodded. "So, where are we going?" I smiled. "To the camp. I'm gonna tell you EVERYTHING that's happened to me."

I sat down with Toph, and began explaining. I started with meeting the Avatar, and leaving the South Pole. We ended up running into Price Zuko, and absolutely flooring him. Even though I couldn't use my earthbending, I still was an expert with swords. After that, we flew to the Southern Air Temple, Aang's old home. Then I discovered Aang's dark secret: the power he possessed. Toph's eyes widened as I described how finding Gyatso's corpse had shocked him into the Avatar State, and he had almost killed Sokka and me, but Katara managed to calm him down. A short stop on Kyoshi Island was boring in the extreme, until Zuko rocked up. In the ensuing fight, the village had been heavily damaged, and we had to retreat. Toph shook her head mockingly at that, and I explained that we retreated for the greater good. We ended up meeting King Bumi, and then saved an entire village of earthbenders from a metal platform. Toph shuddered after hearing how depressed the earthbenders had been. After that, Sokka and I were kidnapped by Hen-Bai, the guardian of the forest. We ended up infiltrating the Fire Nation to visit Roku's temple, and Aang talked to him. Then I very quickly explained the waterbending scroll incident, and Jet. That bastard had poisoned me and tied me to blasting jelly. I was out of action for a while, so I missed out on the Great Divide, and I was asleep through the storm that shipwrecked Sokka and that grumpy fisherman, but I still told Toph Aang's story. Katara, Sokka and I all then came down with a mysterious illness, and Aang left to find the cure. After returning, he refused to talk about his experiences. Toph laughed when I told her that the cure was shoving frozen frogs in your mouth. Toph smiled when I told her what the fortune-teller, Aunt Wu, had told me about love: I will marry a girl who, though blind, sees more than most. She and I would have a steady relationship, and live to an old age. After making out for a bit, I continued my story. I declined the offer to complete the ice dodging, but was shocked when Aang showed a crumpled sheet of paper that was a letter from Katara and Sokka's father. I stayed with Aang, if only because he had no one else. After saving Katara and Sokka from that bounty hunter, we journeyed to the Fire Nation Colonies, and we managed to meet Jeong-Jeong, a firebending master who offered to teach Aang. However, that creep Zhao found us, and burned the small village to the ground. We fled to the Northern Air Temple, and met Teo and the Mechanist. Together, we fought off a Fire Nation attack, and then, finally, we reached the Northern Water Tribe. Mostly, I just wandered around, looking at all of the amazing architecture and talking to some of the people living there. I watched the fight between Katara and Master Pakku, and though Katara lost, Pakku agreed to train her, because it turned out that Katara was the granddaughter of the woman Pakku was meant to marry. Soon after this, a massive Fire Nation fleet, led by the creep Zhao, showed up. We fought hard, but were pushed back to the upper section of the city. The further we were pushed back, the harder the waterbenders fought, until the full moon rose, and then they became unstoppable. The Fire Nation was steadily pushed back, but suddenly, the moon disappeared. The waterbenders lost all of their power, and later I found out that this was due to the fact that the moon spirit had been killed. Pakku and his waterbenders began to flee back to the palace, and the non-bending troops followed. However, as I was trying to hold back the enemy, an amazing thing happened. Aang had combined with the moon spirit, and pushed the Fire Nation out of the city. I saw that the sun had begun to set, and finished with, "I'll tell you the rest later." Toph leaned into my arms, as the sun set over Gaoling.

I was home.
