"ONE MINUTE EVERYONE!" Sokka yelled up the stairs but quickly jumped out of the way when he saw two teens a bit younger then him run by.

"Give it back Toph!" Aang yelled as she held his beanie far from his grasp. He dove for it but missed landing on one knee and his hand. He knew she loved torturing him like this. His brown mop of a hair was sticking out everywhere.

"Come on Aang." She teased waving it like it was some kind of prize.

"Sheesh Aang, it's called a comb." Zuko said as Katara giggled. Aang turned and glared.

"Shut up, Scar Face." Aang joked. When Zuko was younger, he liked to do tricks. And well he ended up getting some pretty bad stitches from the most embarrassing way ever. He jumped up, and just jumped, and fell flat on his face on the side walk. Now he had a scar right above his right eye, not to noticeable, but the story lived on. I'm getting off track though. At the moment Toph had stolen her best friend's beanie, which he used to hide his messy brown hair.

Toph put the open end up the hat near her face took a whiff and then pulled it away as far from smelling distance. "Ugh…don't you ever…like…oh I don't know…wash this thing?" Toph said tossing it back at him.

"THIRTY SECONDS!" Sokka yelled. Everyone got ready. Well accept Aang. He had pulled the hair tie from her hair letting it fall behind her and held it away from her. His arm was outstretched over his head as she glared. She found him and reached for it pressing herself against him since she couldn't actually see the hair tie and reached for said object. "TEN SECONDS!" Everyone began to chant.

Ten… Nine…

Aang raised his hand above his head while Toph pressed herself against him.

Eight… Seven…

His other hand was on her waist with Toph's gripping onto his wrist.

Six… Five…

"Come on, Toph." He said smirking at her mocking. He vaguely heard her say 'bastard' and he only chuckled.

Four…Three…

The hand that wasn't on his wrist was traveling up from his shoulder to his wrist reaching to his hand.

Two…

"I'm going to murder you."

"Fine here."

One…

Aang bent towards her lips and kissed her. The hair tie that he had stolen from her hair forgotten on the floor. Her eyes were wide open in shock as she stood there one hand gripping his wrist the other floating in mid air before she settled it on his shoulder and pushed him away.

She bent down and picked up her hair tie fixing her hair before pulling him back for another kiss.

"Happy New Years." He said before she took his lips.

A/N: So I hope that answered some questions. I now the story was a bit confusing, but I hope you get it now. Toph had taken his beanie and as revenge he took her hair tie (scrunchie, pony tail, ect.)
