Disclaimer: No, I'm not the owner of Avatar, do you really think I'd be writing fanfiction, if I did.
A/N Yay, more reviewers, thanks for reviewing but I doubt that you're reading this when there's a cliff hanger to be dealt with.
Chapter 8: Nick Names
"Toph, Toph wake up!" Toph heard an annoyingly sweet voice barge into her head.
"Go away, Katara!" Toph yelled, drowsily.
"Toph you need to get up." Katara pleaded.
"Put a fork in it, Sugarqueen." Toph mumbled.
"What did you just call me!?" Katara asked incredulously.
"Sugarqueen, your voice is so sweet I could gag." Toph answered.
"Toph, sit up right now!" Katara commanded in her firmest voice.
"Still sweet." Toph teased, but she got up.
"Toph how many fingers am I holding up?" Sokka asked urgently, like he'd seen done in the movies.
"Oh no! I can't tell, I must have gone blind!" Toph shouted in mock horror.
"Oh, right." Sokka said sheepishly.
"Toph I'm so sorry I can't believe I dropped you." Aang apologized shamefaced.
"Are you kidding, that was the best fight ever, and now I know, if they pick me up stomp before I get to high." Toph exclaimed.
"It was foolish, Aang should have known better than to take you where you couldn't see, or Earth bend." Zuko declared.
"What are you talking about, Hothead, it's not like my opponents won't use that to their advantage." Toph countered.
"Hothead, Sugarqueen, Twinkletoes, are you giving everyone a nick name!?" Jet asked.
"I'm working on it, Treefeet." Toph answered.
"Treefeet!? That's stupid!" Jet exclaimed.
"Well until I get to know you better it will have to do, I mean have you seen the way you climb trees?" Toph informed him.
"Do I get a name?" Sokka asked.
"Sure thing, Snoozles." Toph said.
"SNOOZLES!?" Sokka exclaimed.
"I like that word, plus, I can tell you sleep a lot." Toph said. Sokka looked at her as if she was reading minds, and she just laughed. "Now, Yue, that means moon right, well lets see, what would be a good name for you hmm… I know, Moonlight. You do seem like the only sane one in this group." Toph decided. Yue blushed.
"Thank you." She said quietly. Toph could tell she was shy, that's why she decided not to pick on her.
"Well I better make sure you didn't get hurt." Katara said, and Aang cringed. Katara took out some water, wrapped around her hands and ran her hands over Toph. "Good news, nothing's wrong, just a few bruises and scrapes, which I patched right up." Katara announced. Aang looked relieved.
"What time is it?" Toph asked.
"Um…" Yue checked her watch, "It's a little after 6:00." Toph sighed,
"I should be getting back, before my parents think I'm being irresponsible." Toph said down cast. And everyone present started laughing.
A/N sorry this took longer than expected, because I wrote this whole other chapter about Toph going to the spirit world, but it didn't work, so I had to start over, and consider yourselves lucky, because I have a history test tomorrow, but I decided to write this chapter before I finish studying. Anyways R&R, It makes me happy :)
