Author's Note: I should probably mention that Teo isn't handicapped. Thanks to anonymous reviewer VioletQ for pointing that out! In addition, Song and Haru are twins. Oh, and their world has celebrities. Don't worry, that'll all make sense in this chapter.

"Where are they? They've been gone for almost 2 minutes!" Suki exclaimed, exasperated. She was pacing in front of Haru and Sokka. The two boys were sitting at the table.

"Well, it could mean things are going extremely well for Aang. He could be packing in the action, if you know what I mean." Sokka said smugly. Haru nodded in agreement, smiling.

"Ugh," Suki groaned, marching to the boys. She slapped Sokka across the face. "That was for being a pig," she explained angrily. "I would have slapped you, too, except I'm not allowed, because your not my boyfriend, nor are you related to me," she pointed to Haru as she spoke, ceasing his laughter. He lowered his head in defeat.

"Where's Song when you need her?" Suki cried.

"Why? Need another rumor update?" Haru asked.

"That, and, she is allowed to slap you," Suki stated angrily. "Here she comes!"

"You are not going to like what I've been hearing," Song informed the others, not waiting for the question to be asked. "Everyone's got a different opinion. When I went back on the dance floor after Aang and Katara left, people were already talking. Some people think they have been secretly going out since he moved here, and that when he kissed her, he ran because he blew their cover, and that's why they snuck off. Most people now believe that one, though some are still betting that he was cheating on someone else and feels guilty, or she's giving him a second chance and getting to know him. My favorite so far and luckily, the least popular is that it was a bet, and he ran because he lost or perhaps because he felt bad for using her."

"Is that all?" Suki asked, hoping there was no more coming.

"Yeah, that's it-oh wait, did I mention that if they're not back almost immediately, the rumors that are already starting about them getting to know each other won't just be about them talking?" Song blushed.

"Uh, no, you left that part out," Suki responded nervously.

"You see, we're not the only ones that think like that," Haru pointed out.

"Yeah, well, that reminds me-you haven't been properly punished yet. Song, would you be so kind as to slap your brother. I would, but I'm not allowed," Suki asked, almost politely, faking cheer.

"Another perverted remark?" Song asked. Suki nodded. Song slapped Haru. "Tsk, tsk, when will you learn?" Song asked, acting almost too civil. This was a regular routine for the group, as Sokka and Haru were constantly thinking of new ways to gross out the others. Song turned to face Suki, getting back to business. "Any sign of them?"

"Nope, no sign of either yet," Suki replied, immediately assuming Song's double meaning. The boys, however, did not understand.

"Huh?" Sokka asked outright. He was getting tired of the girls' coded discussions.

"I have seen no sign of either couple-Toph and Teo or Katara and Aang-since Katara and Aang went into the hallway and Toph and Teo disappeared," Suki explained patiently.

Teo and Toph re-entered the gym holding hands. Toph was blushing, and both wore meek smiles.

"Well, here comes one couple," Haru observed, looking over Suki's shoulder. "Introducing Teoph," he announced.

"Eww, dude, you really need to stop paying attention to celebrity gossip," Sokka criticized.

"What's wrong with celebrity gossip?" Song stuck up for her brother.

"I'm not even going to answer that," Sokka shook his head.

"Well, let's stop worrying about the unnecessary details and focus on the main idea. Teo and Toph are now a couple. Song, if you would please go check on rumor control, that would be great, as I'm sure the couple needs no extra attention." Suki took control of the situation, kicking into her automatic-inner-leadership gear.

"You know, this could help the whole 'Katara and Aang' situation. It'll provide a momentary distraction, allowing them to slip back in unnoticed should they choose to do so," Song pointed out.

"You're right, I hadn't even thought of that! In that case, get spreading!" Suki shooed Song to the dance floor, where a group of eager girls, looking for the latest scoop, quickly engulfed the gossip queen.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Suki asked the new couple innocently as they approached the table.

"Don't act all innocent, you know exactly what's going on," Toph said with added attitude.

"Yeah, I do, but I want you to say it," Suki admitted.

"Why?" Toph asked.

"Because watching you squirm is fun! Besides, you did the same thing to me when Sokka and I started going out. Now I can get my revenge," Suki stated happily, enjoying this more than her kind, loving nature should have allowed.

"Alright, I'll make you a deal. I will admit it if and only if we wait until we are at the sleepover tonight. If you wait, I will give you full details. Deal or no deal?" Toph proposed.

"Deal!" Suki agreed, and the two girls did their secret handshake. Suki quickly filled Toph in on the latest batch of gossip.

"I have a feeling we're going to be up very late tonight," Toph smirked, pausing their conversation.

"Why do you say that?" Suki asked, not understanding what Toph was talking about.

"That's why," Toph subtly pointed at something behind Suki. Suki spun around, trying to be subtle as well. She looked at the doors through which Katara and Aang had exited earlier.

"I don't see anything," she admitted without turning around, doubting Toph for a split-second.

"Wait for it...in three, two, one, now." Toph timed her countdown perfectly. As she said 'now', the doors opened, revealing the other new couple of the night. They were standing side-by-side. Katara's arm was around Aang's waist, and his arm encircled her shoulder. Katara's face was flushed. She made a sudden motion to turn back, but Aang wouldn't allow it. He squeezed her reassuringly and whispered something in her ear. She blushed. Suki turned to face Toph.

"You're right, Toph. We will be up late tonight. There's no way Katara can keep this secret."
