Leo (POV)

When I wake up (or should I say when Toph made the earth throw me into the sky) everyone was gathered around Appa, who apparently was "sick".

"Looks like we can stick around to help the town, huh." I say, giving Katara a look saying "if you think I'm buying this you're even stupider than your brother."

She gives me a look back saying "say one word and you'll suffer a painful death."

I chuckle.

"Katara can you heal him?" Aang asks.

"It looks like he needs some medicine, maybe we can find the right herbs in town." She replies.

When we get to town I ditch the group to try and find some machinery or something to build with.

I am bored out of my mind here.

"Did you hear? The painted lady visited us last night." I hear someone saying.

"Pfft yeah right. I don't believe in that spirit mumbo jumbo." A man replied

'I guess I can accept spirits but I higher doubt this was Casper the friendly spirit.'I think looking at Katara.

I laugh and look back to the factory. I wonder what kind of machines they have set up there?

I smile mischievously.

"LEO VALDEZ!" I hear Toph yell.

"COMING, HOT STUFF!"I reply cheekily before running after her.

That night when everyone was asleep I snuck out of bed to go to the factory before noticing Katara painting her face.

I wasn't exactly surprised, but I decided to wait until tomorrow to go to the factory. I don't practically want to get caught by sugar queen.

I wait until she's gone, and have a look in her shard of glass she used as a mirror.

I really am hot. I smile cheekily at my caramel skin, dark curls and pointy ears.

My attention shifts to Sokka's bag which I know is full of his weapons. I open it and take out his boomerang.

I smirk. A boomerang isn't really my style but what the hades, I might as well.

I go to a nearby field and start practicing which quickly becomes boring with no one to practice with.

I throw the boomerang to the side and try to summon fire. I look down at my hands to see them set ablaze.

I smirk. The light coming from my flames makes a bird flying by visible.

I shoot fire through the sky, shooting it down.

I swear if rather eat Momo than one of those smelly fish.

I do that again with another bird then again and again until I have enough birds to make Sokka full, which is saying something.

I hear something behind me and get ready to attack just to see it was Toph.

"Oh… hi." I say feeling a little embarrassed.

"By the heat I'm guessing you're bending?" she asks. "Sweet." She says creating an army out of earth and sending them towards me.

I fire at all of them taking them all down before they reach me.

"WHAT THE HADES, TOPH?!" I yell.

"What? It's called target practice." She smirks sending twenty more earth soldiers at me.

We keep practicing for a few hours (if you define practicing as her throwing boulders at me)

"If you're going to ask me to train Aang, I don't think I'll be much help. My bending isn't like everyone elses. I don't think." I say guessing that's why she's doing this.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." She says a little too quickly.

"Contrary to popular belief I'm not an idiot. Aang's obviously the avatar. I'm guessing Aang is still learning the element's which is why he hasn't taken the fire loser out yet. You're training with me to test my skills."

"It's also really fun to beat you up." She says with a cheeky smile.

She sends a boulder right at my head.

I just dodge it. " NOT COOL TOPH!"

She smiles evilly and throws another boulder at me which once again I dodge.

I shoot fire at her but she creates a wall out of earth to protect herself.

"THAT ALL YOU GOT?!" She yells before the earth underneath me turns to quicksand and swallows me whole.

An image of me climbing a mountain in pinstriped pants,black leather shoes, a white collarless shirt with suspenders, a tool belt, Ray-Ban sunglasses, and a porkpie hat as the earth tried to swallow me with my friends and coach also dressed way to fancy for mountain climbing.

I burst out laughing at the image of my coach in pastel, ugh and why was the girl climbing a mountain in a dress?

"WHAT! YOU NOT GONNA FIGHT BACK ELF EARS?" Toph yelled at me.

"Bring it on, Toffee." I yelled.

She glares in my direction and the earth releases me.

I look up to see the sun rising. The rest of the Gaang (as I started calling them) will wake up soon and Katara should be back from her 'spirt duties' by now.

"Play time's over, babe." I laugh.

A rock hits me right in the face.

"OUCH!" I yelp. "NOT COOL!"

She grins. "Shake it off, wimp."

I go and pick up my birds from earlier. "A little help here." I say dropping the birds.

She rolls her useless eyes and comes over to me to help.

When we get back to camp and we dump the birds by the fire for later, and I give Momo a warning look in case he tries to take them.

I see Toph go back to her earth cave. I crawl back under one of the spare blankets Katara gave me.

Once again the lovely Toph wakes me up.

"OUCH!" I yell "Are you going to do that every morning?" I ask as I fall back to the ground.

She smirks.

I notice Katara and Sokka by the fire.

"WHERE DID ALL THIS MEAT COME FROM?!" Sokka asks drooling.

"I didn't get it." Katara says.

"Don't look at me. I'm a vegetarian." Aang adds.

They look at Toph.

"Yeah I saw them flying by so I shot them down." She says sarcastically.

"Uh it was me." I admit.

Sokka looks at me suspiciously "Why are they burnt?"

"I was half asleep when I got back and accidently dumped them in the fire." I lie.

"Fine." Sokka says. "Katara, get cooking." He tells his sister who responds by splashing him with the river.

"How about you cook them yourself." She suggests.

"I'm going to go get some berries." Aang says and walks into the woods.

Sokka sighs and starts cooking the meat.

I was wrong not even that many birds is enough for Sokka so now we have to go back to town to get more food.

"Hi Dock. Is Sho around?" Sokka asks Dock.

"Let me check." Dock asks before replacing his hat.

"Hey there, back again are ya?" Sho says.

I raise my eyebrows.

Toph pushes Sokka out of the way. "We need more food. Our friend is still sick and we can;'t leave until he's better." Toph says putting money down.

"Well that's too bad maybe the painted lady will visit you in the night and heal your friend." Sho says.

I doubt it.

"And maybe she'll cook us a midnight snack and we'll all have a singalong." Sokka says sarcastically.

I snicker.

"Yeah, maybe." Sho replies, missing the sarcasm. "You know last night she visited us again, healed most of our sick folks."

I give Katara a look.

She glares back at me.

"Is that why this place seems so festive?" Aang asks.

I see the villagers putting up a statue of the painted lady and resist the urge to laugh.

"Yep it's all because of the painted lady."

"Can you believe how much an entire village can be affected by one lady… I mean spirt." Katara says dreamily.

"Yeah that spirt sure is helpful." I say giving Katara a knowing smile.

I ignore their conversation from then and walk over to Toph.

"You know Katara's faking, right?" I ask her.

"Duh."

"I got another memory back." I admit.

"What was it, Elf ears?" she asks.

"I was mountain climbing with my Coach and friends." I say with a laugh.

She snorts "What are your friends like?"

'I can't remember that well, but one is a blonde guy with a scar above his lip, my coach is even shorter than you and looks permanently angry and a gorgeous girl with dark hair and eyes that seem to change colour." I say trying to remember.

I see a look cross her face I'm not familiar with…. Jealousy? No it couldn't be she's way out of my league which is exactly why she's my type.

"Is she your girlfriend?" she asks trying to sound casual.

I smirk "Nah, Piper's my step sister." I say without thinking.

Huh, sweet.

She seems relieved. "You remember her?"

"Nope. I have no idea where that came from." I say.

I look over to see the others talking about spirt magic blowing up a factory.

I wonder what 'The painted lady' will be doing tonight. I'd I'm gonna raid the factory I should do it tonight before she finds out…. Maybe I could help.

I give Katara a smirk.

She rolls her eyes.

That night I see Katara putting on her makeup again.

"Hey Katara." I say with a smirk.

She glares at me. "You can't stop me Leo."

"Why would I stop you? I wanna help blow up the factory. That's your plan right?" I say.

She looks relieved "Why?" she asks.

"Fun. Plus I want to check out the machinery there." I explain.

"Fine but be quiet." She whispers.

She brings us across the river.

"Wow this is awesome." I say as I run across the water.

"So what's the plan?" I ask. "You do have a plan right?"

"Kind of…" she mutters.

"Meaning no?" I reply. "I think if I get in there I can get it to blow but you need to block the pipes to build up the water pressure and to stop any chemicals from the explosion getting into the water." I say.

She nods.

She starts attacking the factory using water and blocking the pipes creating pressure.

Once I'm out of sight I shoot fire at the chains holding up the liquid metal.

I run to the control room and start pressing buttons and my hands seem to know exactly what to do. I take a few nuts and bolts and random things from the machine and run out to see Katara a level under me building up the water pressure.

"THIS PLACE IS GOING TO BLOW! GET OUT!" I yell at her.

I'm not worried about myself. I know I'm fireproof.

"WHAT ABOUT YOU?!" she yell.

"I'LL BE FINE! JUST GET OUT!" I yell.

Katara doesn't look happy just she rides a wave outside.

I try to get out not wanting to explain surviving an explosion when I see guards sleeping in the one of the rooms as I run out.

Oh gods. Even if they're fire Nation I have to save them.

"WAKEY WAKEY YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!" I yell banging on the walls.

They all jump up and get their weapons.

"There's no time for this. The factory is going to blow!" I yell.

They all jump up and start running.

Maybe I should have evacuated them before I started the explosion…

Just as they're out of the way the entire factory explodes with me still in it.

Katara (POV)

I can't see Leo anywhere. The guards are out but Leo never left.

Oh no. I run into the building with water surrounding me extinguishing he fire.

I look everywhere trying to find him when I notice a small bubble of flames.

"HEY SUGAR QUEEN!" Leo's voice yells from inside the flames.

I take them out with the water.

He's completely fine.

"You're a fire bender." I guess in shock.

But not even fire benders are fire proof….

"Really, I hadn't noticed." He says lighting his hands on fire.

He really is like Toph.

"How did you survive?" I ask.

He shrugs. "It doesn't matter. We need to go!" he yells.

We run to the river.

Hi again. What do you think? Sorry a lot of it is just quoting the show :/ I'll try and include more original stuff. Sorry it took me so long to update this time but I'm on holidays now so maybe I'll be better.
