I'M BACK! Wow I really have no life If I'm updating this often (but let's face it I never had a life) btw Toph is 13 and Leo is 14 in this.

Appa ascends into the air.

"HOLY HEPHAESTUS! HE CAN ACTUALLY FLY!" I yell.

They give me weird looks. "What is a Hephaestus?" Katara asks.

"I have no idea." I say looking out at the sky.

An image of me flying on a bronze dragon with a stunning Native American girl holding onto my waist, and a sandy blonde haired guy with sky blue eyes making heart eyes at her flashed before my eyes.

I have a dragon? Wow I'm awesome.

"Are you alright, Leo?" Aang asks me.

"Yeah I'm fine." I say, not mentioning the dragon.

I don't trust them but I do trust Toph.

I look over to see her having a spitting competition with Momo and Sokka.

"Classy as ever, Toph." I say with a grin.

"Always." She replies cheekily "Wanna join?"

I smile evilly. "Of course. I'm can beat you beat you with my eyes closed." I say. "Oh, right." I say embarrassed.

"I never need my eyes! It just shows how much better I am." She says smugly.

"Nice joke, Toffee." I reply with a grin.

Everyone starts laughing

"Well I am tough, Elf boy." She replies.

"But you sure aren't sweet." Sokka points out.

She glares in his direction.

"I DON'T LOOK LIKE AN ELF!" I yell.

"Yes you do." Katara, Aang and Sokka say in unison.

"Let me check." Toph says before grabbing my face and pulling on my ears.

"OW!" I say. "They're still sore from Miss Nutcase dragging me by them!" I whine.

"Wow, they are pointy!" she exclaims pulling extra hard on them.

The other laugh.

I pull Toph off of my ears. "Was that necessary?" I grumble.

"Yes." She replies happily.

"So now that you've had a good feel of my face, am I handsome?" I flirt.

"You feel like one of the ugly gnome statues my Mother put in the yard." She replies with a smirk.

I poke my tongue at her.

Everyone cracks up.

"Do you remember anything? Why were you in the fire nation? Can you bend anything? Do you know who we are? Where are you from? What's your last name?" Sokka interrogates.

"Some stuff but it's private, I don't know I woke up there, I think so, No clue, I don't know, I don't know." I answer.

"Why won't you tell us what you remember?" Sokka asks an inch away from my face with some weird detective eye glass thing.

"Cool, eye glass." I pulling it off his head and start taking it apart.

Sokka's face turns blue.

I examine the parts then start to play with it and make it into a tiny flying helicopter.

It flies out into the sky and Momo flies after it.

"How did you do that?" Katara asks in shock.

"MY EYE GLASS!" Sokka screams.

"What is that?" Aang asks confused.

"What is that sound?" Toph asks.

"It's a helicopter. Its propellers turn in the air so fast it keeps itself in the air. That one should stay in the air about an hour." I explain.

"But how?" Katara asks.

"I'm a special boy." I reply with a cheeky smile.

Huh that sounds familiar.

(Flashback)

I winked at the blonde boy. "Watch this." I turned to the front. "Sorry, Coach! I was having trouble hearing you. Could you use your megaphone, please?"

The Coach grunted like he was pleased to have an excuse. He unclipped the megaphone from his belt and continued giving directions, but his voice cameoutlike Darth Vader's. The kidscrackedup. The coach tried again, but this time the megaphone blared: "The cow says moo!"

The kids howled, and the coach slammed down the megaphone. "Valdez!"

The beautiful Native American girl stifled a laugh. "My god, Leo. How did you do that?"

I slipped a tiny Phillips head screwdriver from my sleeve. "I'm a special boy."

(End of Flashback)

I laugh. I really am awesome.

Who were those kids that kept appearing in my memory?

"Did you just remember something?" Sokka asks suspiciously.

"Yep." I reply popping the P.

The coach called me Valdez. That must be my last name.

"What did you remember?" Sokka asks, suspiciously.

"That I'm a hilarious prankster and my last name is Valdez." I reply cheekily.

"You mean you think you're hilarious." Toph teases.

I beam at her "I'm always right."

She rolls her vacant eyes.

"Where were you?" Sokka asks again. "Was it the fire nation?!"

"Dude, chill." I say getting a little tired of him "It wasn't anything like here. I have no idea where I was." I reply.

"Interesting." Aang says thoughtfully.

"Yep. Wake me when we land. I grumble." and grab a bag as a pillow.

"But…" Sokka tries to interrupt probably to interrogate me some more.

"Shhh." I say putting my finger to his face. "Sleep." I whimper. I'm really tired.

Toph (POV)

I hear Leo begin to snore.

I scoff.

"So do you guys trust him yet?" I ask.

"You're kidding right?!" Sokka exclaims.

"He won't tell us what he remembers and he said he thinks he's a bender, OF WHAT?" Sokka yells.

"Careful you'll wake him." Katara scolds.

"Maybe he doesn't trust you either." Aang says.

"Why not?" Sokka asks confused.

"Oh I don't know could be that all you do is interrogate him refer to him as 'the enemy." I say sarcastically.

"Well I like him." Aang says way too happily.

"HE BROKE MY EYE GLASS!" Sokka whines.

We ignore him.

"Whatever. When do we land?" I ask impatient.

I hate flying. I'm completely blind.

"Soon. We'll find a town to stop at for supplies in a couple hours, and maybe get it some earth and water bending practice for Aang." Katara says.

"SHHHHH!" Sokka hisses. "No talk of Aang's bending when he's around." Sokka hisses (probably) glaring at Leo.

"He's asleep." Aang sighs.

"Or is he?" Sokka asks suspiciously.

I sigh and lie down too.

"Wake me up when we land." I grumble.

"WAKE UP TOPH!" Leo yells shaking me.

My instant response was to punch him in the face.

"OUCH!" He whines.

"Oh shut up. That's what you get for waking me up."

"See this is why we let you wake her." Sokka explains laughing.

"We're here." Katara says.

I jump off of Appa face first expecting earth but instead I'm swimming in a disgusting mix of water, dirt and garbage.

"YUCK!" I exclaim jumping back onto Appa.

"Where are we?! This place is disgusting." I complain.

"We're in a river." Sokka answers.

"Guys I think this rivers polluted." Aang says from the river.

"That explains why I can't catch a fish around here. Usually my fishing skills are OFF THE HOOK!" Sokka exclaims. "Get it? Like a fishing hook!"

We all groan.

"Too bad your skills aren't on the hook." I say with a smirk.

Everyone but Sokka laughs.

I hear Katara helping Aang back onto Appa and probably getting rid of the polluted water covering him.

Aang must hate not being able to do air bending with Leo around.

"It looks like we'll need to go somewhere else to find food." Katara says. "Assuming that will fit into Sokka's master schedule" Katara adds sarcastically.

"Hmm it's doable." Sokka says not noticing the sarcasm "But that means only two potty breaks today!"

"Great plan." Leo adds sarcastically.

"Hey, maybe we can get food there." Aang suggests (probably) pointing somewhere.

"Looks great." I say sarcastically with no idea where he's pointing.

"Thanks… oh wait." Aang says.

When we finally reach ground I jump off of Appa head first into the ground and start doing earth angels.

"That's awesome!" Leo exclaims. "I wish I was an earth bender!"

"So if you're not an earth bender what are you?" Sokka asks suspiciously.

"Huh?" he replies confused.

"Earlier you said you think you're a bender. Which element were you talking about?" Sokka asks.

I feel Leo's heart beat speed up.

"Uh I don't' know." He lies.

Aang drags something over Appa.

"Now he just looks like a little hill with horns." Aang says.

"That's not suspicious at all." Leo says, seemingly happy to have the attention no longer on him.

We walk towards the cliff.

"I don't feel anything. Where is this villinge?" I ask.

"It's in the middle of the river." Sokka replies.

"Sure is! My name's Dock. Mind if I ask who you are?" I hear an old man's voice say from the beach.

"Ironic name." Leo whispers to him.

"We're um… from the earth kingdom colonies." Katara lies.

"Wow colonials. Hop on, I'll give you a ride into town." Dock offers.

"So why do you guys live on a river?" Katara asks once we get in the boat.

"Because we're a fishing town, at least that's how it was before the factory moved in. Army makes their metal there. Moved in a few years ago and started gunking up our river. Now our little village is struggling to survive." Dock explains.

"Once again the fire nation sucks." Leo whispers in my ear.

I nod in agreement.

Sokka pulls me onto the dock.

Damn it, why do they have to make everything out of wood?

"Look at this place it's so sad. We have to do something to help." Katara says sadly.

"No, we can't waste our time here. We have a bigger mission that we need to stay focused on." Sokka argues.

Since they clearly forgot they're not meant to talk about the mission around Leo, I suggest he goes and looks for food "Hey, Elf boy go make yourself useful and find some food." I say pushing him away, as Katara and Sokka continue to argue.

"I'm not turning my back! I'm just being realistic. We can't go around helping every rinky dink town we wander into. We'll be helping them all by taking out the fire lord." Sokka rationalizes.

I cover Sokka's mouth with my hand "HEY LOUD MOUTH! Maybe we should be a little quieter when talking about taking out the fire lord." I say whispering the last part.

"Come on Katara, be reasonable about this. You know our mission has to come first." Sokka says once I take my hand away.

"I guess so." She agrees.

"Let's just get what we need and go." Aang suggests.

We walk over to Leo at a stall, where he's looking at a box of smelly fish.

"Hey Dock, you work here too?" Sokka asks Dock.

"Here he goes." Leo mumbles before Dock replies.

"I'm not Doc. I'm Sho. Dock's my brother." Sho/ Dock explains.

"But we just saw you. You're even wearing the same clothes." Aang points out.

"Dock works on the dock that's why they call him Dock. I work in the shop that's why they call me Sho." He explains.

"Wow, you don't say?" Leo adds sarcastically.

"I don't get it." Aang says.

"Me neither." Sho says before pushing the box of fish towards Aang.

"Hey, I was looking at that!" Leo says but they ignore him.

"What can I get ya?" Sho asks. "Hey I'll give you a special deal. If you buy three fish I'll throw in a clam for free." Sho says.

"We'll just take the fish." Sokka replies.

Leo takes my hand and pulls me away from the group.

"What?!" I ask pulling my hand out of his.

I'm 90% sure that idiot is smiling.

"I need to talk to you about my memories." He explains.

"What about them?" I ask.

"Well…" he seems to get really nervous.

"HEY TOPH! You coming?" Sokka yells at me, ignoring Leo.

I sigh "This conversation is not over." I tell him and we follow Sokka back to the docks.

"If we're going to go along with the plan on time we'll need to WAKE UP EARLY!" Sokka says talking about his new schedule avoiding mentioning the fire lord around Leo.

"Well I'm not waking up early." I say lying down.

"Or we could just cut out all of our eating breaks." Sokka suggests.

"What!" Aang complains

"No way!" Katara argues

"Forget it!" I say getting up.

"No way in Tartarus!" Leo exclaims.

I give Leo a weird look.

"I got it! How about we take potty is breaks and meal breaks at the same time." Sokka suggests.

Aang spits out his water.

"Hey, it may be gross but it's efficient. Either way we have to leave here first thing tomorrow morning." Sokka says before storming off.

I grab Leo and drag him behind one of the rocks.

"What were you saying about your memories earlier?" I ask him.

He sighs. "Well I have a few of them back and well..."

"What is it?" I ask impatiently.

He sits down on one of the rocks. "The first one of was when I was eight. I was working with my Mom and she went into the other room then this woman appeared…." He begins.

I sit next to him.

"She threatened my mom... I got mad and my hands caught fire." He practically whispered.

I stare at him. He's a fire bender. Sokka was right.

"Then the workshop caught fire… and she died." He was crying now.

I felt the urge to hug him.

I don't do comfort. My version is punching someone until they get over it but I doubt that would work here.

"Anyway." He says trying to change the subject "you gonna tell Sokka I'm a firebender?" he asks.

"Nah. It's none of his business." I decide.

"Did you remember anything else?" I ask.

"Yep I have a metal dragon and an angry coach." He says happily.

How does he go from being broken to happy so quickly?

"A dragon?" I ask in shock.

"I know. I'm awesome." He says modestly.

I scoff.

"I'm tired. See ya in the morning Toffe." He flirts.

I push him to the ground.

"Don't call me that, Elf ears." I say with a glare.

I walk to my earth tent and go to bed.

If Leo's a fire bender does that mean he could train Aang? I wonder as I fall asleep.

I'm still looking for a beta so if anyone's interested please PM me or tell me in a review. Please Review :D
