A/N: This chapter is Toph's POV, and I found a song that would fit this chapter, but I wanted to continue doing chapter formats. The song watch?v=oKar-tF_ac&feature=kp (I hope you like it.)


Toph was mildly surprised at his reaction to her kiss.

Whatever. She thought, and with that she ran her tongue along his bottom lip, asking for him to open his mouth for her. Zuko jumped, but after a moment he figured it out, and opened up. Of course, Zuko being Zuko, he tried to push her tongue out when she slipped it between his lips.

Toph grinned against his lips, and twisted her tongue around his until he gave up and she won dominance.

Suddenly, she felt Aang coming near, probably wondering what was going on. She lifted her hands from Zuko's face, and smirked at him when Aang rounded the corner.

Toph whispered in Zuko's ear, "I assume it you know who's in charge now, right?" He gave her a shaky nod. Then, she straightened her back from where she had been bent over Zuko in his kneeling position.

"Toph? Why is Zuko kneeling?" Aang asked hesitantly.

Zuko jumped and turned around from where he had been staring at Toph.

Then Sokka appeared behind Aang and asked Zuko, "What's with the stone shackles?"

"Uhh..." He looked around for something that could serve as an explanation, but his shoulders slumped in defeat when he found nothing. Toph snickered at him, and placed a quick kiss on his cheek, laughing as he squirmed under her touch.

Sokka snickered out loud and teased Zuko, saying, "Zuko! What did you do to Toph!"

Katara grinned and exclaimed, "I think we should be asking what Toph did to him!" Toph laughed with Aang, Sokka, and Katara. She laughed harder when she noticed Zuko, still kneeling, with a hesitant grin on his lips.


Later that day, after the attack from Azula, the group was on Appa on the way to Ember Island.

Toph was sitting next to Katara, Sokka and Zuko were on the other side of the saddle, and Aang was on Appa's head.

Toph turned to Katara, grinning as she told her, "Watch this." She got up, creeping over to where the guys, minus Aang, we're arguing over a battle tactic of some sort. Sokka looked up at her, but Toph put her finger up to her lips silently, asking Sokka to stay quiet.

"Of course it would work to go to the palace in a group, we would need to help defeat Azula!" Zuko argued, seemingly oblivious to the figure behind him.

Leaning down over his shoulder, careful not to startle him yet, Toph whispered in Zuko's ear, "Hey sweet one, stop worrying." She grinned as Zuko jumped with a yelp, and laughed too when Sokka and Katara started laughing hysterically. Even Aang turned around and laughed, and Momo jumped up and down on Zuko's head, as if he was mocking Zuko.

Zuko crossed his arms and grumbled. "You guys are immature."

"Oh really? Do immature people do this?" Toph placed a kiss on his lips, pushing her tongue into his mouth before he could do anything. Toph had won dominance. Again.

Zuko's good eye widened, and he did an un-Zuko-like thing for a second time that day. He squeaked.

The group had stopped laughing. Aang was covering his eyes with a grin, Sokka was pretending to throw up, and Katara had her motherly smile on and she looked at them like she was a mother hen and they were her little chicks.

Toph grinned at Zuko when she released his lips from hers. He made a grumpy face And crossed his arms.

"Oh, stop being so grumpy, we were just teasing!" Katara scolded Zuko.

Toph just grinned.

This is gonna be fun. She thought as they landed on the island. A week training Aang and teasing Zuko without him getting mad? Oh yea.
