Teo woke up that morning to find Toph already awake, her blind eyes staring at the wall.
"What's wrong?" Teo asked nervously. He wasn't used to Toph so quiet.
"Tao's playing his flute." Toph said calmly.
"Ya ever since Aang gave it to him he's been really interested. It's how he expresses himself." Teo said.
"I never realized he was this good" Toph commented. The two went to there sons room. Tao sat against the wall playing his flute.
"Are you ready for breakfast?" Toph asked. Tao shook his head. That was the hardest thing for Toph. She had a hard time knowing what the boy meant since she couldn't read or know gestures.
"He said yes" Teo said kissing Toph's cheek. The three walked into the dining area just as Teo's dad came out.
"Good morning guys," he said
"Moring dad." Teo greeted as they sat down. Teo's dad lived with them in the temple. He usually was on his own inventing though. Toph's family was still in Gaoling.
"So how's your inventing coming along?" Teo asked his dad ats Toph went into the kitchen.
"Realy good actually" the older man replied.
Teo's dad walk over to Tao and asked gently for him to speak. Tao shook his head. "That's alright. We can try again another time."
Right as they finished eating a messenger hawk flew in. Toph passed the note to Teo.
Dear, Teo and lady Toph BeiFong
we invite you to spend two mouths with us for Katara's birth and a ball for the celebration of the end of the war. We hope you can make it. Please get back to us.
Love fire lord Zuko and fire lady Katara
"OH so now am lady BeiFong! I am so talking to her!" Toph scoffed. Teo and his dad laughed.
"Dad your coming too right?" Teo asked
"Yes. We can leave in the morning." he responded.
