"So Sokka, what kind of flowers do you want a your funeral?"
"Sea Daisies, Toph, they'll look good with my skin tone," Sokka said smiling at his own joke. The Southern Watertribe sure had changed in the last eight years, from a block of ice to a city with roads and buildings that don't melt. He and Toph pulled up to the house where Katara, and Hakoda were sharing, Aang lived across the street.
Three smiling faces looked on at the covered sled pulled by two imported walrus-bears, "Okay mind staying put until the hello's are at least given so I can try to keep Katara from bruising me to badly."
"Whatever you say, Sokka," Toph said smiling menacingly. Sokka stepped out of the sled.
"Sokka!" Katara yelled gripping her brother in a bone-crushing hug. "Hey sis." The three of them, Sokka, Aang, and of course Katara. "Wow Sokka you must be what six foot or something," Aang commented also giving a brotherly hug."
"Yeah, thanks."
"So where's Toph?"
"Umm about that, Katara". Katara's gleeful smile turned into a frown. "Don't tell me she decided not to comeā¦."
"Oh no she's here, but there's been some things I didn't mention in my letters."
"Oh," Katara said putting her hands on here hips, "You mean the letters I-we were lucky to get once a year." "Um, Yes."
Toph who was thoroughly enjoying Sokka getting yelled at decided at this moment to reveal herself. "Hey guys, Sokka come help me I can't exactly 'see' on this giant ice cube." Everyone's mouth dropped.
"Well don't I get a hug, anyone." Katara's eyes traveled between Toph's Watertribe necklace carved from a soft black stone to Sokka's reddening face.
Sweat dripping from his brow anxiously waiting for his soon to be murderous sister to make the connection. Aang was obviously holding back his laughter and an aging Hakoda just stood there perplexed.
Sokka got a nice red handprint on his face. "SOKKA!" Katara's yell mad neighbors and passer biers stop and glance. Aang released his fit of laughter tears building in his eyes. And from there everything went down hill as Katara began yelling at her stupid brother's incoherent ness. Toph just stood there as if none of this was going on, still smiling menacingly, "So am I going to get a hug or should I put my arms down."
"Sure why not," Hakoda said shaking his head, the insanity around them meaning relatively nothing," after all you are my daughter in law aren't you."
"Yep".
After about seven more minutes of this, by the time Aang had decided to stop laughing and intercede, all the suitcases were already unpacked inside the hut. And Hakoda and Toph were sitting down sipping g a cup of tea in front of a cozy fire.
The door opened and the trio stepped inside.
The word awkward could be used but that wouldn't really cover it. "So are you not going kill Sokka or should I order the Sea daisies," Toph asked sarcastically. Toph received a glare from Sokka and Sokka a death glare from Katara.
"So Toph," Katara asked sitting down next to her friend, "when you, um due?"
"I'm not exactly sure, not for another month or more." Toph looked as though being pregnant hadn't effected her the least, only sign of change was the fact her stomach was three times its size. Katara looked sckeptical. "Or do you think I wouldn't know, these 'kinds of things'."
"I didn't mean it like that, it just that you, you, you." She was lost words.
"What she's trying to say is that you're huge and look as if you could pop any moment," Sokka chimed in.
Now Sokka had a nice semi-hand shaped hand mark and a bruised bicep.
"So who wants food, we know some restaurants" Aang said standing up tring tp break the awkwardness.
Sokka second him,"I am, I haven't had stewed sea prunes in years."
Yeah I probably need to revise the description but what the hey.
Lol though Katara was not a happy camper. This was fun to write, I usually have such problems with fanfictions.
Send replies and ideas, even stupid ones XD.
