It all Comes down to this.
I only Own OC's
"It is not your choice to make dear." Poppy said while standing beside her daughter. "Toph has made it quite clear that she can handle herself and make wise decisions. If my grandfather has approved of him and he has stuck by Top's side all this time, then I am sure he will make a fine son one day." Toph and Haru looked to her with wide smiles on their faces and hugged each other excitedly."
"I cannot believe this. Even my wife has turned against me." Fong said in a grieving tone. Turning away from the group.
"No my dear. I love you and will always support you when you are right. But now we truly need to listen to our daughter and undo what my father started. She is happy with the life she has made for herself. And with such and impressive group of friends I do not think anything we could do would serve to make her any safer than she already is." She said comfortingly while rubbing his back.
"I suppose you all are right. Please forgive me… I only wanted what was best for my daughter, but I have to accept that she's not my helpless baby anymore." He said sadly before he was caught off gaurd by an embrace from his daughter.
"Thank you so much dad. You're right, I'm not helpless by any means; and I have made a great life. But I will never stop being your daughter." She finished kissing his cheek and hugging him again. Fong held her tight for a moment he wished would never end.
"What will you do now Toph? If you're not going to return to GaoLong, will you continue to travel the world?" He asked looking into his daughters face.
"I've been thinking about it and I've made up my mind." She said raising her fist. "Bumi! We better get started if I'm going to be queen of Omashu one day, then I have a lot to learn." She said placing her hands on her hips and flashing a grin. Everyone cheered and clapped at the announcement. Fong started to say something, but caught himself and simply clapped with a nod to show his approval. Amongst all the commotion, Toph felt her parents start to walk back to their throne.
"Wait. I want you to stay and enjoy the party too. You've meet Haru, but you have to meet all my friends." She motioned to the mass of people gathered in the courtyard. Fong and Poppy waved nervously at the overwhelming size of the crowd, and were even more nervous when Chole decided to finally get a closer look at them. Toph just continued to smile as Bumi made a platform to raise them slightly above the crowd.
"This party isn't even close to being over!" He said with a called to the crowd who responded with a cheer as the music picked up again and people went back to mingling. This had been the celebration full of friends, fun and most importantly, family. She couldn't have dreamt of a better day, or a better way to end it. She finally had the family she always wanted and as the future Queen of Omashu, there was nothing that she felt she couldn't accomplish. The night ended with Toph and Haru, Katara and Aang, Sokka and Suki, Zuko and Mai all in a candle lit gazebo just outside the palace while Iroh played the tsungi horn with a few accomplices.
"This was the best birthday ever." Toph said placing a gentle kiss on Haru's lips
