Exile
Rated K+
Summary: In a world where Aang was never discovered in the ice berg, the small amount of survivors try to survive on the charred soil of the earth kingdom.
A.N: It seems that I can just make summaries of the stories that I want to write. Sigh.
Toph Bei fong was one of the few survivors of Sozin's Comet, the day the fire nation nearly burned her country to the ground. Now, though, she was just wondering, trying to find some sort of life among the carnage and debris.
After wandering for another couple days and scavaging for food and water, she felt someone sitting on the ground. She walked up to him, and then he asked in a grating tone, "Who are you? What do you want?"
"I think I could ask you the same questions," she replied shrugging, "But the name's Toph. I'm just trying to survive, same as you. So, where are you from."
"I don't think you want to hear my life story," he said.
She then sat down beside him and said, "Shoot. I don't have anything better to do. I haven't seen another person since the fire ended."
"Isn't it dangerous to just sit next to random people?" he asked.
"It's not a problem for a master earth-bender," she said, "Now how about that story."
"I'm from somewhere faraway," he said, "And I am in exile. Permanently."
"So you don't want to tell me where you're from," she said, "Then you're obviously from the fire nation."
"What," he said defensively, his heart-beat speeding up, "I'm n-not."
"You're lying," she said.
"Alright," he yelled, "I'm fire nation." He expected her to run away, or attack him or something after that, but she just kept sitting beside him.
"Aren't you going to run away," he asked, "Or attack me or something? I'm fire nation."
"Yah," she said, "But you're stuck in the burned earth kingdom as much as I am."
"So you don't care," he questioned.
"Not really," she said, "We're in the same situation, what good will fighting do us?" Then there was about thirty seconds of silence.
"Well," she said, starting to stand up, "I'm going to go. I didn't catch your name."
"Zuko," he said, "My name is Zuko."
"I wish you luck, Zuko," she said, as she walked away, "We'll all need it."
