Chapter 8

Revenge Part 1

Aang woke up when he heard the baby cry. Toph groaned and rolled over. "You get it." she said. Aang got up and got Taru. "What's wrong? We already fed him." Aang patted his son on the back, and he threw up all over Aang. Aang groaned. Taru burbled happily. "How can I resist?" Aang thought, looking down on the incredibly cute bundle in his arms. Aang sniffed, and he smelled a strange odor beginning to waft off the baby. "Toph, I think he-" Toph cut him off. "You handle it. I've changed him at least 6 times already." Aang sighed and began to change Taru. After giving Taru a bath, Aang went and took a bath to clean up, while Toph smiled mischievously, acting like she was still asleep. Aang dried himself off, and then realized that Toph wasn't asleep. He drew in his breath, and shouted "WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!" Toph responded by throwing Aang out the window.

The rest of the gaang watched them fight. Most of them had heard Aang's panicked yelp when Toph launched him out of the window. "Maybe we should do something." Katara said. "Nahhhh, let them fight. I'm gonna eat breakfast out here." Sokka said. "I don't want to miss all the action." Katara began scolding Sokka, while Suki began to shake with mirth. Sokka looked at her pleadingly. Suki just shook her head and said "You had it coming."

That afternoon, while Aang was in the garden, he heard footsteps approaching. He turned to see Katara. "What were you two fighting over yesterday?" Katara asked. Aang went red. "You guys saw that?" Katara nodded "Everyone did." Aang's cheeks flushed again, turning a deep red color. Suddenly, Aang heard a noise. Using Toph's way of seeing, he earthbended the person into the air. Catching them in an air cushion, Aang dropped them to the ground. "Owwwww." Sokka moaned. "My head." After noticing the dirty looks he was getting, he shrugged and said "The others said that they wanted to know what happened, so they-"A rock smacked into Sokka's back. "Liar." Toph said, menace in her voice. "Okay, Okay, I'm leaving." No one noticed that Katara had slowly walked away, ashamed of herself.

A few hours later, Aang sat down for lunch. "Aang?" It was Katara. "Can I see you outside a moment?" Aang nodded. They left the room and went to the garden. Katara suddenly kissed Aang. Aang shoved her away. "What is wrong with you?!?" Aang shouted, fury in his voice. Katara began to cry, and Aang's heart softened a little. "Things between me and Zuko aren't working out." Katara sobbed. "I thought….." Her voice trailed off. "How am I going to tell Toph?" Aang said out loud. Katara shook her head. "Please don't. I don't want her mad at me too." Aang looked at her, surprised. "Fine." Aang said, but there was a nagging guilty voice in his head that kept saying "You betrayed her." Aang shook it off and left the garden.

It didn't take long for the rest of the gaang to notice Katara and Aang were avoiding each other. Aang was outside in a small meadow full of plants and animals, meditating. Sokka sauntered up to Aang. "So buddy, watcha thinking about?" Aang shrugged. "The beach? Bending? When you and Katara kissed?" Aang fell over, the recovered quickly. "W-what are you talking about?" Aang asked, his voice quavering. Sokka grinned. "I saw the whole thing from the window." Aang mentally kicked himself. "Leave it to Sokka to learn everything." Aang thought. "DON'.ANYONE." Aang said, attempting to put some menace behind his voice. Sokka just smiled and nodded. "I have a bad feeling about this……" Aang thought.

Sokka was walking around the house looking for something to do, when Toph walked up to him. "Have you seen Aang? It's his turn to feed the baby." Sokka nodded his head, then remembering she was blind, he replied "Yeah, he's meditating outside." Toph walked outside and found Aang it the same spot Sokka had found him at. "It's your turn to feed the baby, Aang." Aang got up, dusted himself off, and began to walk towards the house. "Aang?" Toph's voice stopped him, and he turned around. "Yeah?" Aang said. "What happened between you and Katara?" Aang's heart rate flew up. Toph noticed it, but refrained from frowning. "N-nothing." Aang dashed off into the house. Toph frowned then, but decided not to go after him. Instead she went back to Sokka. "Do you know what's been going on between Aang and Katara?" Sokka stopped walking. "Nothing, as far as I know." Sokka said, struggling to keep his heart rate down. For all of Sokka's efforts, Toph knew he was lying. "Tell me…….." Toph said impatiently. "AangandKatarakissed!" Sokka ran away as fast as he could. Toph went cold. Rage set in when she realized what Sokka said. Toph found Aang, who had just finished feeding the baby. Toph began screaming at the top of her voice. After she was finished, Toph packed her things and said "I'm leaving. Don't look for me." Aang sat with his shoulders slumped.

Toph went and found Sokka, who had been trying to avoid Toph ever since he told her what had happened. "Can you fly me out of here?" Toph asked. Sokka shook his head. "He's not my bison." Toph earthbended him into the ground. Snarling, she asked again. Sokka nodded while having an accident at the same time.

Toph and Sokka left, and everyone saw it. Aang looked up tearfully, watching his wife go.
