"See… well, the thing is, Toph,"
She placed her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows expectantly. Though she was only 12, two years younger than me, she had an easy way of looking fiercely intimidating. "Yes?"
I swiped at my forehead, shaking, but trying to wipe the sweat from my adolescent forehead, "Well, I… uhm, am, er… I can't come to Friday Movie Night because I'm going to the Carnival with Suki."
"I see how it is," She sighed, changing her arms to being crossed over her chest, "You're going to ditch your best friend, for some girl that you're 'madly in love' with. I see. That's fine. Whatever."
"No! No, that's not it, I just-" I stopped and winced as my voice cracked, once again mentally cursing puberty. "See, I want her to like me more… so we have to spend time together. I knew you wouldn't understand! You're too little."
I come to later find out, she'd always understood, but that was another story, for another time.
"Oh no, I understand perfectly well. You're just going to ditch Movie Night for some prep. It's okay. Traditions are meant to be broken."
She turned on the balls of her feet and began to walk from the street curb towards her house.
I reached out and grabbed her wrist, "Wait. No, see… I'll… uh, be there next week?"
"…You sure?" She turned to face me once more, and when I nodded, "Prove it then."
"Uh… What?"
She rolled her eyes, "Your loyalty towards Movie Night. Prove you're loyal."
Loyal.

I dropped to my knees and began panting, "Good?"
Toph buckled over in laughter, "Yeah Sokka, we're good. See you at Movie Night next week." She ruffled my hair, and ran into the black, pointy gates.
