K I'm actually really surprised how fast I updated this story so consider yourself lucky! I must like this story or something because I am free of that evil-debilitating-annoying-painful-Ok maybe not painful- disease known as writers block! Because I tend to get it bad.
-Chapter 2-
Toph yawned loudly and blasted the door off her Earth tent.
"Morning Toph." Aang said as he ate a mango-apple.
"I hope your ready for some hard training today twinkle toes because you will master seeing with you feet today."
"But Toph Zuko kept me up half the night to make up for 'lost time.'"
"Not my problem." She said in her signature Toph voice.
"Hello?" Ajax said as he walked into camp.
"Morning Ajax." Aang said enthusiastically and sprang to his feet.
"So is Katara here?" He asked looking around for his new teacher.
"She's down at the river washing Appa." Aang said and pointed toward the river.
"Thanks I'm going to go ask her if she's ready to train." Ajax said and set down his bag with a thump.
"Alright see you-"
"Come on Twinkle Toes let's go." Toph said grabbing him by the ear and dragging him down to a nearby canyon.
"But I didn't even finish my breakfast yet!" He said looking longingly back at his half finished mango-apple.
"Tough." She said and set him down on the bottom of the canyon.
"Now I'll be teaching you how to see with your feet today so you better pay attention because this is an invaluable skill to all master Earthbenders." Toph said as she corrected his stance.
"Alright, alright." Aang said shooing her hand away.
"What little baby-skin doesn't like to be pushed around?" Toph said grabbing pushing his stomach back so his chest would stick out more.
"It's just I'd prefer it if you didn't touch me there." He said as a blush colored his face.
"Get over it." Toph said and stepped back to examine her handiwork.
She move forward and tied the bandana over his forehead and said: "Now I want you to tell me exactly what I am doing. And don't move out of your stance!" She yelled as she felt him shift his weight a little bit.
Toph did various things and made Aang sense her movements with Earthbending constantly stopping to give him advice. She was very enthusiastic to be teaching him about one of the things that was completely unique about her.
After hours of Aang running around and various other activities with his blind fold on. Toph said: "Good job we're done for now go get some lunch and bring me back something to eat."
He started to take off the blindfold but Toph said: "And leave the blindfold on for the rest of the day."
"But Toph." He whined but Toph silenced him with a glare and he walked away grumbling under his breath.
-Meanwhile-
"Hello sifu Katara." Ajax said as he walked onto the riverbed.
"Good morning. I think we'll start your training with a basic assessment of your skills."
"Think fast!" She yelled and shot a sphere of water at him, fortunately he had been expecting it and redirected it right back at her. She redirected it back into the river and said: "Very good, thinking on your feet is one of the most important skills a waterbender can have."
"Next you will attempt the water whip, have you heard of it?" He frowned.
"Unfortunately not. I have been away from my people for so long. I have not seen another water bender since I was 6 years old. Most of what I know is just by my natural talent and what I have figured out from the meager collection of knowledge on waterbending in the fire nation libraries."
"Well the water whip is just what it sounds like. A whip of water." She drew some water from the river and before he could react grabbed him around the ankles and knocked him on his butt.
"A very useful technique." She said. "Now you try."
His eyebrows furrowed in concentration he lifted a few gallons of water from the river and created a whip-like shape. He attempted to snag Katara around the waist but she blocked it with ease.
She proceeded to teach him the basics of waterbending since he had lacked a formal apprenticeship but had the raw talent of a master waterbender.
"Good remember to breathe and keep your stance." She said as he attempted to stay in his octopus stance throughout her barrage of icicles.
"Alright enough for now." She said and let the water she had been bending drop back into the river.
"Let's go get some lunch." She said and headed back toward camp.
Aang felt his way back to the campsite stubbing his toe on many a sharp rock and branch.
He stumbled into camp and bumped into Sokka. "Can't you watch where you're going?" He asked angrily as he spun around to confront Aang.
"Uh… No." Aang said as he stumbled around looking for a good place to sit.
Sokka just laughed at Toph's… unusual, training methods and handed Aang a bowl of hot soup.
Zuko who was watching could not contain a laugh as Aang burned himself on the soup by jabbing the spoon at his nose instead of in his mouth.
"How does Toph do this!? Aang shouted as he bended the scalding hot soup off his face.
Yeah I know random place to end a story but I'm going to go to the movies with my girl friend. Gotta go get washed up.
