'Katara thinks she knows everything,' Toph thought angrily as she layed sprawled out against a vast feild of grass. She slammed her hands against the ground grabbing a huge wad of grass, and chucking it no specific direction. 'It's not as easy as she thinks, yeah how about I just waltz up to a recently broken hearted Zuko, and tell him, hey I have liked you for years and I think we should go out. Yeah that's gonna get me some where,' Toph grabbed onto hair and began to roll around in the grass frustratedly.
"Uh, what are you doing?" A recognizable voice asked questionably.
Toph mentally cursed to herself, "Did Katara send you here."
"No, why do I need Katara to tell me to visit a friend?"
"Katara told you didn't she," Toph answered, she was knew Katara would tell everything to Aang.
"Yes she did, but she didn't tell me to come and visit you."
"I don't need your help Aang, I don't need people giving me releationship advice, I can support myself," She stood up and gave Aang an annoyed glare, but Aang didn't move an inch.
"Grow up Toph!" The Avatar shouted causing Toph to jump,"How could you say that! Katara is so worried for your well-being but in return you act as an ungrateful child! People want to help you because they care!"
"Katara could've told me that herself instead of you being her messenger," Toph scowled.
Aang stared at Toph in disbelief, "Are you serious Toph! You know why I came here instead of Katara! So I could tell you that you are a selfish, insensitive, cowardly human being."
Toph stared at Aang, she was at a loss of words. Aang had hit her pretty hard. She couldn't think up of any comeback, no insult, or a rude name. She was blank. Aang was right, everything that came out of his mouth was the real Toph Bei Fong.
Slowly something wet streamed down the sides of her face. She touched her cheek, she was crying. Suddenly a wave of emotions came crashing down onto her, the toughest earthbender in the world was actually crying.
Aang who was still recovering from his rant, realized he had made Toph cry and he felt guilty, "I'm so sorry Toph, I went overboard."
"No, you're right Aang," Toph cried as she hung her head low.
"I am?" The airbender stepped back, quite shocked that she had actually agreed with him.
"It's just I'm not that good with you know, all that emotional stuff, so I don't know how to react to it," Toph siged as she quickly wiped away her tears.
Aang placed his hand on her shoulder, "Toph, you know the gang is here for you, we can help."
"I know."
"Good," The monk smiled pulling her into a hug. He was very lucky though, this time he wasn't flung into the air, or smashed by a rock. He was just given an awkward grunt from the earthbender.
