Thank you for reading, and for the review. I hope you will like the last chapter to this part of the story.

Aang sat on the back porch of the inn, looking up at the stars in the sky. The wedding celebrations where still going on in the centre of town. He could hear the music coming from the front of the building. The avatar was now a married man, married to the grand master earthbender. This was a reality that still hasn't fully sunk in. the past few hours of his life has flown by, like it was someone else's life, not his own.

"No more letters." The voice of his almost day old wife brought him back to earth. Stopped everything from moving so fast around him. Time seemed to move once again at a steady pace.

He slowly turned round to find Toph standing a few feet behind him in the door way of the inn. The letter he had got Zuko to deliver to Toph, had asked her to meet him at the back porch, when the sun had set.

She had taken her hair out; he never noticed how long it had become before. She had also taken of her gold robe; she was now wearing the cream under robe that came to just under her knees. She of course also taken of the boots she had had to wear. Aang had also changed; he had taken off his gold wedding rope as well. But kept the brown trousers that went with it.

"It got you here didn't it." He offered in the most arrogant tone he dared use.

"I would still have come, if you had just asked."

A slightly charming smile appeared on Aang's face, as he got to his feet took a few steps towards Toph and held out his hand for her "Come on." With a bit of hesitance Toph took his hand, letting him lead her away from the inn, which lay on the edge of town.

Aang lead Toph a few minutes out of the town to a clearing, by the base of a hill. Once he seemed to be happy with where they where he let her hand go, and flopped to the ground facing Toph. They were surrounded by trees on all sides. From where they were, you could look straight up and see the sky through the trees.

"What are you doing." Aang had expected Toph to be a little annoyed with him, but she seemed to be finding the whole thing rather entertaining.

"Sit down, and I will tell you."

Toph started to worry a little that Aang might keep up acting like this. Under the misconception of the idea he seemed to have. Of the way a husband should act , subtly and directly telling her what to do. She would have to nip that in the bud very quickly. However she did as she was asked. Not wanting to spoil what he was planning, and was clearly very excited about.

Once they were both sat on the solid earth facing each other, Aang placed his hand out in front of himself, Palms facing up "Put your hands on top of mine." Toph again obliged, figuring out what Aang had planned. "I thought we should get to know each other better. So we can take it in tunes to ask each our questions."

Toph now smiled, a low laugh escaping her lips. She moved her hands over Aang's hands, taking hold of his wrists. "It will be easier for you to tell if I'm lying." Aang took hold of Toph's wrists. "You go first."

Aang took his time to decide on the right first question. One that she would answer, therefore making her more likely to answer when he asked her more important questions. "What other form of earth bending, is the easiest for you to bend."

"Sand. It took a while to get it but now, it's no problem." Toph while find the answer essay, found it harder than she thought to come up with a question.

"Who do you love more….." She could feel his pulse racing through her fingertips. " Appa or Momo." she finished. His pulse then started to relax.

"I can't choice."

"Ok. Your turn."

"If you could bend any other element, what would it be."

It was now Toph's turn to really think, about her answer. After a good few seconds she answered. "Fire. I think, it might help me to control my temper. What is your favourite colour."

Aang didn't need to think about this one. "Jade."

"Like the stone."

"No like your eyes."

A laugh close to a snort echoed through the clearing. "Don't get all mushy. Your turn."

"When have you been the most frightened, in your life."

It was now Aang's turn to feel her pulse speed up a little. "On the air ship, knowing that everything was going on outside, and I couldn't feel it. I was helpless. I couldn't do anything to help."

Aang was smart enough to fill in the important things she didn't say.

"When where you the most scared." Aang almost pulled away, he didn't what to answer. "Please." It was then that Aang realised that he would never really be able to refuse any request Toph made ever again.

"When you...got hurt, almost two years ago."

The sudden change in tone made Toph feel a little uncomfortable. "Ok, that is enough of this." Toph put on the best cherry tone she could and tried to get up, but Aang didn't let go of her wrists. "Aang let me go." she wasn't annoyed, she was smiling. The ridiculousness of the whole situation started to become clear.

"No." Aang was now laughing too. One word was all that he could get our through the laughter. She still tried to pull her arms free. After a while Aang decided to give up, he stopped pulling her arms. However Toph didn't realise this before she gave one large pull. Aang was quickly too pulled towards her. Toph became away that Aang was getting closer to her so she stopped pulling, causing Aang to lose balance and fall on top of her.

Rather than yell, as he would have expected, Toph started to laugh, making Aang laugh to. Once they had calmed down a little, Aang pulled himself and Toph back up to a sitting position. Keeping their close proximity. Without really thinking, Aang reached out, tucking a strand of her black hair that had fallen over her shoulder, behind her ear.

"Do you really think we don't know each other." Aang could feel Toph's breath on him as she spoke in a low voice. Making him more aware of how close they were, and he didn't even mind.

"I just..."

"You are almost five feet eleven. When I first meat you, you were five feet five. Your heart rate is a little faster than most peoples. You find water bending the easiest of the other elements to bend. You pulled a muscle in your right leg, when started to bend earth, because you where to lose. You didn't know that was the problem, but I could feel it."

"But I don't ..."

"You know how much I hate using bonebending, and being lifted off the ground, and spun round. Remember, when we were training Yunru. You wanted to teach me some airbending technique too, even though it was pointless. Your hand, accidently slide down my back, and I tensed up. You're the only one that knows that, I hate being touched on my spine like that. Those are all things that no one else in the world knows, but you."

Toph closed the small distance between them. As they kissed their right hands moved up to behind each other heads, and their left hands pulled them closer to each other. They were unaware that they were mirroring each other's body langue.

As they pulled apart Toph got to her feet, holding Aang's hand "Come on lets go." She pulled Aang to his feet.

"Let's just get Appa and go." Aang still holding Toph's hand started to move away, but was stopped by Toph. Who stood in place.

"I was thinking we could go back to the inn."

Aang now looked Toph in the eyes. The world seemed to speed up again. "Are you sure. I don't want you to feel that you have to, if you didn't want too."

"So you don't want to." Toph put on a fake hurt and confused voice

"Toph…."

"I always knew that I would get married. The best I could hope for is that I might like the man my father ended up choosing for me. This…. "She said while point at herself then Aang. "Is better than I could have hoped for."

Aang didn't care that she hated being lifted off the ground. He picked her up, one arm under her knees, the other on her back, before she had the chance to say anymore or move away. She protested a little, but gave in quickly. He started to walk back to the inn, with her in his arms. "I feel the same way. And I don't care if you hate it, I am going to carry you back."

Toph rested her head in the crock of his neck "I don't think I mind so much anymore."

A few hours later, Aang lay in his bed on his back looking up at the celling. Toph lay curled up, sleeping next to him. He didn't let himself turn to look at her. He knew she was there her breath hitting his arm. When he couldn't lie there any longer he pulled on his clothes that lay on the floor, and walked over to the open window on the other side of the door.

Placing on leg on the windowsill and the other kept on the ground, he sat down, leaning his back against the window-frame. The cool breeze from the window was very nice. Though he didn't know how he would feel about this little quirk of Toph's, keeping the window always open, when the winter came. For now though it didn't bother him.

He finally let himself look at her. Her back was to him, the sheet lay across her waist, exposing her bare back. In the faint moonlight he could make put the mole on her shoulder blade he had only just noticed. Her pale skin in the moonlight seemed to glow, and her hair shone. She, even without seeing her face looked beautiful to him.

A sudden thought hit him, like a bolt of lightning. He was in love with her. He had accepted that he had feelings for her, that they could grow into love. He had never thought, though that he was already in love with her. He couldn't tell her. She had only agreed, gone along with this whole marriage idea, as a way of finally being free form her father. They were going to make up their own rules about their relationship, weren't going to do what other people expected of them. If he told her, he would ruin that.

Taking his eyes off her, he looked out of eth window, up at the wide open sky. Wondering what he had gotten himself into. What he should do for the best. He knew he had to tell her, he just had to wait for the right time. Everything had seemed so well planned and understood a few hours ago. Now everything seemed a mess.

This is the last chapter on this part of the story. I am not all that happy with how the story is going, but as I said I feel like I have to end it so I'll go on.

Thank you all for answering the questions I asked. Once or twice here are the new ones. I really would love to hear what you have to say to these ones, it will really help with how the next part is going to go.

Where do you think Toph and Aang are in their relationship, are they in love or falling in love or just friends.

Did they seem to be younger than they are meant to be, they are meant to be 19

Did it work that I never wrote about the wedding, just jumped to the aftermath. There is a reason for that, that will be clear in the next story, but should I not do that again miss out events like that. Is it annoying.

The next part will be where do we go from here 14: scared. I hope you will maybe read it.
