Hmm...seemingly random title equals 100 percent chance of Tokka chaos. Hehehe let's just say this octopus is a Tokka shipper ;D

I own nothing...ever...I am sad...

Hair and an Octopus

It was about mid-morning when the gang landed by a large lake. They had planned to take a little vacation inorder to just relax a bit. Sokka stubbled off Appa and started running twoards the lake, he was about to jump in the water when he noticed something about his reflection. Sokka ran back to where the rest of the gang were setting up camp.

"GUYS, GUYS, GUESS WHAT I HAVE STUBBLE!!!" Sokka yelled at the group. And sure enough he had little hairs growing around his cheeks and chin. He beamed in pure joy while none of the others seemed to take notice of Sokka's excitement, infact the only one who acknowleged that he said anything was Aang,

"That's great Sokka, does that mean we can dyestroy your fake beard," Aang said. Sokka growled,

"NO!!! you're just jealous because you're not manly enough to grow stubble," Sokka retorted.

"Oh, yeah Sokka that's it exactly, I'm jealous cuz I can't look like a hobo," Aang remarked sarcasticly

"I do not look like a hobo!!!" Sokka yelled. Katara looked at her brother for a moment then a smirk appeared on her face.

"You do kinda look like a hobo," Katara said as she and Aang hi-fived each other.

"DO NOT!!!" Sokka yelled at his sister and friend, "But you know what, I think I should improve on my hair so it can look awesome with my stubble." He quickly undid his warrior's wolftail (coughponytailcough) and stood there dramaticlly, as if he was waiting for something.

"Aang..."

"Yes?"

"Blow wind through my hair to make it look dramatical," Sokka said. Aang, Katara, and Toph just stared at him,

"You can't be serious." Aang said

"JUST DO IT!!!"

"Okay, okay," Aang said as he airbended a gust of wind at Sokka. Surely enough his hair blew dramaticlly in the wind.

"Yeah..." Sokka said reveling in his awesomeness.

"Whatever Sokka, Aang and I are going to the market. Try not to destroy anything while we're gone," Katara said as she and Aang began to walk twoards a near by town with Momo on Aang's shoulder. This left Toph and Sokka alone,

"Haha, you look like a hobo," Toph laughed at her friend even though she had no idea what a hobo looked like. Sokka didn't respond he just looked at her for a minute. After about five minutes he still hadn't responded, "What are you looking at Sokka?" Toph asked. Sokka was silent for another second then he responed,

"You," Sokka said calmly. Toph instantly blushed at his statement as he continued, "You should really let your hair down, I think it would look really pretty that way," Toph felt her heart race as she reached for the back of her head and undid her bun. Her hair fell down around her shoulders gracefully, Sokka blushed, "Yep I was right your hair looks prettier when it's down, it brings out your eyes," Toph joined in the blush.

"So..." Toph said as she attempted to start a less akward conversation. Sokka smiled,

"Last one to the lake is a rotten platapus-bear egg!" Sokka said as he started running twoards the water. Toph smiled now that the akwardness had been lifted,

"Hey you cheated!" she said as she ran after him. The two reached the lake panting as Sokka jumped in the water Toph sat on a rock splashing her feet in the water. Suddenly Sokka yelled

"AHHH OCTOPUS, OCTOPUS!!!" he ran out off the lake with a medium sized octopus clinging to his head. "GET IT OFF ME!!!" he continued to scream. Toph glared at him,

"Sokka, what are you yelling about?" Toph asked while still remaining completely calm.

"There's an octopus on my head HELP ME!!!" Sokka cried desperatly. Toph looked at him for a minute then burst out in laughter, she laughed so hard that she fell off of her rock and started rolling on the ground. "It's not funny!!!" Sokka yelled while begining to blush in embarrassment.

"Yes it is," Toph managed to say while continuing to laugh hystrically.

"Will you just HELP ME!!!" Sokka yelled, while trying to pull the eight legged creature off of his head.

"Alright, alright, big bad Toph will save you from the octopus," Toph responed as she walked in front of Sokka and began pulling at the octopus. The octopus however refused to budge, "Ugh...this guy really likes you Sokka," Toph said, as Sokka scowled. Suddenly two of the octopus' tentacles dislatched itself from Sokka's head and grabbed Toph's freely hanging hair. "Agh!!! That hurts," Toph yelled.

"It wasn't me!" Sokka yelled in his defense.

"Yeah, I figured that out since your hands don't have suckers on them, now what do you suggest we do?" Toph asked.

"Well, we should go find Aang, he knows this trick to get pentapuses to realise it's grip on things, maybe it's the same for an octopus." Sokka responded.

"Eh, makes about as much sense as anything else," Toph responded as she started to walk, unfourtunatly she and Sokka forgot that they were connected so they had to walk together. Toph moving before Sokka caused them both to trip. Toph fell first, her back on the ground, and then Sokka fell down after her, landing on top of her. Then the octopus quickly lashed out four of it's tenticales, two wrapping around a tree about a foot infront of Toph and Sokka and the other two quickly wrapping around Sokka and Toph's waists which pressed them together and kept them from moving. So lets recap shall we, two tenticales latched on to Toph's hair; two wrapped around the tree, two wraped around Sokka and Toph, and the last two clinging to Sokka's head, leaving Toph and Sokka in the most akward and suggestive position known to man. The two basicly turned into tomatoes and were silent for what felt like forever until Toph finally spoke,

"You know what's weird about this whole situation,"

"What?" Sokka asked thankful for the chance to get his mind off of the akwardness.

"I didn't even know Octopuses even lived in a lake, I always thought they lived in the ocean."

"Aren't they octopi?" Sokka asked.

"What?"

"The plural for octopus, isn't it octopi?" Sokka asked. Toph rolled her eyes,

"Who cares, the point is how are we gonna get outta this position, cuz we're obviously not moving anytime soon!" Toph yelled, the two blushed again and were silent for about 5 minutes. "So what do we do?" Toph asked trying to strike conversation.

Sokka didn't respond, his brain had basicly turned to mush at this point. He couldn't even rememder his name, all he could do was look at the girl he was lying on top of,

"Wow, Toph's really pretty. She should really wear her hair down more often. Hey, I'm so close to her that I could kiss her...she'd probably knock me into next week though. Why didn't I notice she was this pretty yesterday? Maybe the stubble makes me more observant..."

"SOKKA!!!"

"Huh!?!?!" Sokka had woken up from his dreaming, "What, huh, where, who?!?!"

"Finally, I've been trying to get your attention for the past 2 minutes. I was asking you what do you think we should do?" Toph asked annoyed.

"Well, I guess we gotta wait for Aang and Katara to come back so Aang can do his poking tricky thing to get us free." Sokka replied.

"So we stay like this until those two come back?" Toph asked in a dream like state.

"I guess so..." Sokka replied.

"Um...okay" Toph responded akwardly. After a few minutes Toph reached her hands up and touched Sokka's face.

"Umm...Toph watcha doing?" Sokka asked as she was touching his precious stubble.

"Seeing what Aang and Katara think is so amusing about stubble." Toph said as she slowly ran her fingers across the newly formed prickly hairs on Sokka's face. Toph smirked as she felt Sokka's face heat up. After a few minutes she pulled her hand away, "I kinda like the stubble," Toph said.

"Really?" Sokka asked, elated that someone else saw the awesome manlyness of his stubble.

"Yeah..." Toph said blushing.

After being freed (and laughed at by Katara and Aang). Sokka was told to go put the octopus back in the lake. Despite his big show of wanting to kill it and eat, but Aang wouldn't have it.

"Eh...stupid vegetarians," Sokka mumbled as he reached the lake with the octopus in his arms. He gently placed the octopus in the lake, as it swam away Sokka quietly said to the creature,

"Thanks little guy,"

Little did Sokka know that Toph was behind a near by tree, and thanks to her sensitive hearing she could hear what he said. She smiled and blushed to herself as she ran back twoards camp

"I should wear my hair down more often,"

All I gotta say is Thank you Octopus for creating Tokka akwardness. And am I the only one (other than Sokka) who wishes Toph would take her hair out of her bun. Anyways please review

BTW: I don't know when boys typically start growing stubble so when ever it would be accurate for Sokka to grow stubble would be when the story takes place
