Chap 2
I've been sitting here for over an hour while my mother tends to something or other. I wasn't really paying attention to what she said when she excused herself. Mom had just called me in for tea when she had to leave, so I served myself and I've been here ever since.
My mind wanders to the events of this morning. I could clearly 'see' two people plus Twinkle Toes, Twinkles is a boy about my age, I gathered that, and there was a girl and another boy. The girl was also about my age. The other boy was taller then the other two, so I'm assuming he was older. I smirked at the way he screeched in a high pitch when he fell over my wall. I found it... Never mind.
I take another sip of my tea. I wish I could get out of this dress. Why do they always have to have so many layers? What I wouldn't give to be back at the arena in Blind Bandit uniform humiliating hot shots who think their so tough.
"Miss, the mistress would like me to apologize for her for not being able to be present for tea, and of course you know that your father was busy, and that she would like me to escort you to your room to get dressed for supper." The maid smiled and bowed.
"Okay." I get up and follow her to my room. My parents don't think I'm capable of anything.
She tried to follow me into my room probably with the intention to help me dress. Which isn't so unusual, actually. People of my class are too lazy to even dress themselves, and, why do it when you have hundreds of servants waiting around to answer your ever whim?

Once I came down stairs I was ushered into the sitting room where, much to my surprise, stood the phantom trio.
...Which of course is twinkles and his friends.
Are they stalking me or something?
"Dear, the avatar and his friends have decided to join us for supper." My father says, smiling me. So he is the avatar. Huh.
Snapping out of my thoughts I send the most threatening glare and the sweetest smile I could manage at the same time in the direction I thought was Twinkle Toes.
"Shall we head into the dining room for supper?" My mother asks.
Nobody says anything but we all follow my father who leads the way.
This is gonna be a long night.
#############################
Well, we've gotten through the first two courses with out anything significant happening. I've since learned the names of twinkle toes and his friends. Twinkle toes's name is Aang, and he's a twelve year old air nomad. Don't ask. My dad and him had a twenty minuet discussion about my dad having thought that they were extinct and stuff. Twinkles reply was that he was stuck in an iceberg for 100 years. Just, Don't ask.
The girl's name is Katara, and she's twelve years old also, confirming my guess. She says she's from the Southern Water Tribe. When she said this my dad told her that he's always wanted to go there. Right.
The other boy's name is Sokka, he's 15, and apparently he's Katara's brother. He described himself as a water tribe warrior. During this introduction conversation my dad started talking about me, how I'm so smart with my studies, how I'm 'brave' for learning how to cope with being blind, and How I'm even an Earthbender. Then he starts telling stories about me when I was younger.
Shoot me.
Periodically throughout this and in between mouthfuls Sokka kept looking at me. Before you ask how I knew this, even though I'm blind, I still get that funny feeling when someone's looking at me. Plus I felt his head was turned in my direction. A lot.
I also noticed that my parents seemed to take a liking to everyone but him. Probably because he continues to stuff his face with the plentiful abundance of food that was served. In case you don't know, eating too much, and too fast is considered impolite. This kind of endeared him to me.
"So, Mr. Bei Fong, I heard you mention that Toph was an Eatherbender? I'll bet she's really good." Twinkles told my dad innocently. I send a ripple of earth to his foot.
"Ow!" He yelps. Everyone looks at me, and I put on my most innocent and cute face and took a bite of my soup. My mother smiles at me and looks back at Aang.
"Yes, but we are afraid she will never become a true master because of her blindness." Oh c'mon, dad!
"Oh I'm sure she's better then you thi," You just can't take a hint, can you. As he was finishing his sentence I slide my foot back making his face land right in his plate. Score!
This is going to be more fun than I thought.
Everyone states at him then looks at me, I put on the innocent face again.
Just then twinkles sneezes and blows my parents and my plates onto our laps. That was it.
"What's your problem?!" I yell standing up.
"What's your problem?!" He shoots back.
"Who's ready for dessert?" My mother calmly questions being the perfect hostess she is, as the group settles down.
I declined and excused myself and head up to my room. I've had enough of this.
####################
A maid came up to inform me about thirty minuets later that the avatar as his friends would be staying for the night. Great.
I decided to go talk to him, I might be able to get him to shut up and leave. I walk down the hall to the guest sitting room and leaned on the doorframe. I actually stood their for a couple minuets before they noticed me, and when he did he freaked out. I snorted.
"Relax I just wanna talk."
Sorry about the first chapter guys, I formatted it different but it posted as a jumbled mess, so hidden under all the confusion is a good chapter i hope.
So like Sherlockd15 told you, we are collaborating on this story, I write Toph's pov, she writes Sokka's. We welcome criticism & comments, so please... Pweeeaaase review? Thx. •U•
Oh and we are planning something big in coming chapters, we're not sticking to the storyline, so stay tuned!
