(Four years later)
"Toph, please come in here."
"Yes Father." Toph walked in, head held high, back straight, and with a servant making sure she didn't trip. She looked nothing like the old Toph. This was a Toph that was tall, thin and twenty times weaker than in her childhood.
"Toph, we have arranged for you to get married to the Earth Kings son. We will be going to Ba-Sing-Se next week."
"Yes Father." She walked away into the garden. A silent tear slid down her cheek. 'It was only a matter of time.'
"Hey Katara! I got a…letter from Aang. It says… to meet him in…Oh great." Sokka panted as he ran into his sister's tent.
"What?" She stopped brushing her hair.
"Ba-Sing-Se."
"Ugh…why?"
"The Earth King invited us to his sons wedding."
"The Earth King has a son?!"
"Apparently. No one knew about him for security reasons.
"And why are they inviting us?"
"We're heroes Katara. We freed everyone from the war and they want to smother us."
"Fine. But it'll take weeks on foot."
"Aang said he would pick us up in two days on Appa."
"Oh great. Who's the Prince marring anyway?"
"It doesn't say. She's probably some pampered, rich snob."
"Sokka! Don't say that! What if she was forced?!"
"Well then that's different." Katara started packing while Sokka studied the note.
'This sucks. I don't want to marry some royal airhead(no offense Aang…where ever you are.)! I'm not going to do this! Where are you guys? Help…'
"Toph honey, it's time for your fitting."
"Yes Mother." 'Yes this, Yes that! I'm sick of it!' Toph walked behind her mother and waited to be stuffed into a dress. The engagement party was in five days. The next day, Toph barely spoke at all. She just nodded and stood there. The only place she had to herself was in the garden. Every once in a while, a baby badgermole would keep her company. It was like a pet. Her only friend in the whole estate.
"Sokka will you please hurry up?" Sokka climbed onto Appa with a bag full of meat.
"I see you're still the same old Sokka." Aang jumped off of the ground and onto the saddle.
"Yeah the Gang's all back together." Katara smiled.
"Not really." Aang and Katara exchanged looks. Aang was about to say something but Katara shook her head.
"Yip, yip!" Appa rose into the air. Sokka stared at the sky. A few hours passed by.
"We should be in Ba-Sing-Se by sunset." Aang informed his old friends.
"Okay." Sokka had no hint of sarcasm in his voice. Aang's jaw dropped.
"He's just not as funny as he used to be." Katara whispered to Aang. He nodded
"Toph, we have arrived in Ba-Sing-Se." Toph nodded sadly. The entered the palace and the Prince of the Earth Kingdom was waiting for them.
"It is a pleasure to finally meet you."
"The pleasure is all hers." Her parents spoke for her. A servant came and interrupted the greeting.
"Pardon me Your Highness but there is a message…from the Avatar." Toph smiled. 'Twinkle Toes? Yes! Please come now! Help me get out of this!'
"Please excuse me." The Prince read the letter with a smile. The messenger left the room.
"You will be please to know that the Avatar and his friends have arrived for the wedding." Toph's parents stopped smiling. Toph just smiled. She has her rescue team. Today the party. And the wedding is in three days. 'This sucks.'
"Sokka will you please behave at the wedding?"
"Yeah. Sure Katara."
"Don't forget about the engagement party tonight."
"I didn't. Don't worry about me."
Do not try and put a timeline on this. I tried and failed. So if the author can't...ya get it. So I promise to be faster updating. In a few days maybe?
