CHAPTER 2- BITTER FRIENDS

After a while and after Sokka ate everything he found, he saw a figure in the horizon… when he realized who that figure was, he dropped the meat which was in his mouth. It was Suki! He stopped what he was doing and run towards her; to welcome her. He hugged her…

-Suki! What are you doing here?

-Sokka! Why? You don't want me here?

-yes, sure…

-you want me to go?

-no, I want you to stay…

-if you are asking then I will stay…

-Come. I have been eating; do you want to eat something?

-no, my sweet Sokka, thank you…

-so, what is the purpose of your visit?

-I came to see you…

-that's great…

Sokka tried to kiss her, but Toph came trying to make her presence clear to them…

-hi, Toph…

-hi, Suki…

-thanks a lot Toph

-you have been eating again Sokka?

-yesterday we were ok; why are you treating me this way now?

-I am just saying the truth and yesterday was an exception…

-sorry to interrupt but what happened yesterday?

-long story my Suki. Toph got into a fight with Katara and she

got engaged with…

-sparkly! Said Toph.

-I didn't see that coming…

-I didn't see that coming either.

-they are so opposite. Where are they now?

Aang came and sat near them…

-they went for a walk…

-ah my lover-birds!

-they look good together… said Aang looking at the floor

-yes, that's what I thought.

Sokka tried to stop her but she continued

-you know Aang, if Katara is with Zuko; I am with Sokka so,

What is stopping you from being with Toph?

Aang looked at Toph. Suki was right… Toph was beautiful and he knew she would never hurt him… Aang thought that he would never see the strong earthbender blush, but he did!

He was starring at her for a while, when Suki spoke again…

-you look good together and as far as I see, you like her…

It was Aangs turn to blush… his heart was now going very fast…

Toph smiled, when she heard the sweet sound of his heart…

Aang stood up and left…

-where are you going Aang? Was it something I said?

-no Suki; I have to talk to someone…

-with who?

-with sparkly, ponytail! Twinkle-toes, do you want me to come?

-no Toph, thanks…

Aang left and found Zuko…

-what do you want Aang?

-look; I don't have a problem about you and Katara.

-really?

-I am mad because you didn't tell me…

-really?

-aren't we best friends or what?

-really?

-yes.

-really?

-sure… I think that my love for her is fading away…

-really?

-yes…

-and who is the lucky one?

-well, she is definitely not your future wife!

-ha ha Aang, you are not going to tell me, are you?

-no… sorry… goodnight…

-goodnight…

Zuko went back with Katara, to say 'hi' to Suki and Sokka.

Aang went to the beach… there he sat on a rock…

-I can 'see' my rock is taken.

-sit down Toph… I could use a friend…

-that sounds like you are commanding me.

-ha ha Toph, I am sorry; do you understand what I mean?

- I have been just kidding…

-thank God! The last thing I want is to insult you…

-about yesterday…

-I don't really want to talk about Katara; if you don't mind…

-ok then fancy dancer…

Aang blushed…. Toph smiled but then her mood changed to serious…

-what's wrong Toph?

-nothing Aang; I just miss my parents…

-I know how it feels to loose someone…

-I can only imagine how it feels when you haven't seen someone that you love for a hundred years…

-the worst part is that they are dead…

I used to be sad but not anymore…

-and why is that?

-because I found Sokka, Katara, Momo, Zuko, Suki, many

good people and of course; you…
