Aang had invited most all of the children that went to his fire nation school over for a dance party. Sokka was extremely angry at him for recklessly inviting the enemies' children over where they were hiding. "Awh Sokka, lighten up." Aang pleaded. Sokka stroked his fake beard and got made a constipated face. "It was still a bad idea Aang! They might bring some officials and have you arrested!" he grumped. Toph made a face at him, "Come on Sokka dance for a bit, have some punch, relax will ya?" Toph made a pleading face that no-one could resist. "On one condition." Sokka said. "K anything you want." Toph replied. "You have to dance with me!" Sokka grinned. "I am the plan-guy!" he thought. Toph's face went bright red. "WHAT! When I said anything I meant anything reasonable!" she screamed obviously not thinking her previous words thru. "You said anything!" Sokka teased. Toph scowled, hoping to conceal the stupid giddy feeling she was getting in her stomach. "Fine…" she replied, giving in. "Hey Toph! Now that you're done talking to Sokka can you help me set stuff up?" Aang pleaded. "Sure Twinkle Toes, anything you want!" She replied sarcastically. Aang apparently missing the sarcasm responded excitedly, "Really? Anything?" "NO! NOW GET MOVING!" Toph barked back. Aang slumped his shoulders and told Toph what to do.

All of the Fire Nation kids had arrived and Aang was showing them how to dance. Toph and Sokka sat at one of the stone benches Toph had constructed. Toph suddenly stood up grimacing. "Let's get this dancing over with." She muttered. Sokka acted shocked and responded in a hurt voice, "You say dancing like it's a bad thing." Toph lifted an eyebrow and started to walk towards the dance floor. Sokka set his drink down and ran after her.

Sokka took Toph's right hand in his left, and held her waist with the other. Toph held his left hand and put her arm around his shoulder. He grinned at her, "Ready to tango?" "Ready as I'm ever gonna be Snoozles." She retorted. They glided onto the dance floor and started to dance. Sokka beamed. This was his best plan yet! She would fall for him tonight, whether she wanted to or not! He knew it for a fact! As they glided around the dance floor, Toph took a sharp inhale of breath. "What?" Sokka said clearly worried. "You stepped on my foot Sokka! GET OFF!" He looked down and saw his foot crushing her delicate foot. He quickly stepped off realizing he had stepped on her while in deep thought. "Oh god Toph, I'm so sorry! Follow me." She limped after him clearly annoyed at his blunder.

Sokka led Toph to the back section of the cave and removed her shoe. She grimaced in pain. A dark black bruise was forming. "Is it bad?" Toph asked thru gritted teeth. "Ya pretty bad. It is a dark black color." He murmured, mentally beating himself up. "Damn, Sokka. To you have iron weights on the bottom of your shoe?" she joked. "I'm pretty sure I don't, now let me bandage your foot." He said. She nodded, "K." Sokka grabbed some gauze and wrapped it around her foot, making a thick, protective layering. "That good?" he asked. She stood and smiled "Yep can't feel a thing." "Good." He smiled. He stepped tentatively towards her, and she stepped boldly towards him. She put her arms around his neck and he put his around her waist. Their noses were touching now. Toph's normally hardened face softened with a rare emotion for her; love. Sokka leaned down about to kiss her when Aang and Katara ran past them. "Run! Fire Nation cops!" They screamed in unison. Toph and Sokka broke apart blushing and grinning. "Let's finish this once we are away ok?" Sokka asked. "Sounds wonderful!" Toph grinned. Sokka's plan had worked, in both ways. They had both unintentionally fallen for each other.
