….

"Life is crazy, ya know?"

"Hmm…tell me about it."

"Noooo, I'm serious here. One minute you're happy, then next POOF you're sad."

"Yeahhhh, there's a name for that, Snoozles."

"She's right. It's called…bipolar disorder? Think that's right…"

"Teo's right," Haru joined in, nodding solemnly.

"No, no, no! What I'm tryin' to say is," Sokka's dazed eyes never left the ceiling, "ya never know what to expect."

Beside him, Toph laughed. It wasn't the blind girl's usual sarcastic laugh; it was genuine, happy. Must've been the pot, Sokka reasoned. "You've got such a way with words."

"Guys, I'm gettin' bored," Haru complained.

"Take another hit," Toph advised, rolling onto her stomach. "Then pass it to me."

Haru chuckled and did as he was told before passing the joint to Toph, who grinned maniacally and placed it between her lips, inhaling deeply before exhaling. She closed her eyes and her grin turned goofy. Tongue caught between her teeth, the three boys stared at her briefly. They could tell she was formulating a plan and they knew it would be awesome. Toph thought of the best plans and pranks.

"Hmm, I've got an idea," she announced, grinning wickedly.

Haru and Teo were passing a bag of chips between each other, each eating a handful at a time. "What's that?" Haru questioned, mouth full of food.

"Let's go skinny-dipping." It sounded like a challenge.

"Heh, no can do here," Teo piped up, smiling timidly.

Toph frowned.

"Besides, there's not a lake around here or anything," Sokka reminded her.

"Way to blow up my plan, dicks," Toph grumbled, thrusting her hand out. "Food, please."

Sokka rolled his eyes and placed three candy bars in his friend's hand. He watched as she chewed thoughtfully, her eyes narrowed in thought. Really, Sokka had no problem spending the night here and just chillin'. He suspected Haru and Teo didn't care much, either, but Toph was the exception, as always. Some days she wanted to relax and eat; others, she wanted to create chaos.

"Who's to say we can't run around naked?"

"I can't," Teo chimed in.

"Dammit, Teo, I'll strip you."

The boy's face flushed and his eyes grew wide. Sokka suspected he liked the idea of Toph stripping him. He snorted. "I'm in."

"I'm not, man. Just gonna stay here and relax," Haru said, his eyes closed with a smile on his face.

"Guess I'm with him," Teo said, stuffing his face with more chips.

Toph sighed and stood. "Guess it's just you and me, Snoozlessssss."

"Guess so," Sokka confirmed, standing with a grin.

…

They stood behind a tree. It was a warm night, with a few cars coming and going down the street Haru lived on. Sokka peered around, making sure it was safe, before nudging Toph. "Think it's okay now."

Toph nodded and stripped off her shirt and her pants. Sokka stood frozen, watching her. She was petite, but her breasts were full and she appeared very pale against the moonlight. Her dark hair hid her face. Sokka wasn't sure why, but in that moment he thought Toph was beautiful. She had always been cute to him, but something about her standing in her underwear under a tree was particularly attractive to the seventeen year-old.

Snapping out of his reverie, Sokka removed his shirt and pants. The warm air felt pleasant against his bare skin. He could stay like this forever. "Ready, Toph?" he asked, stepping onto the street.

Toph smirked. "Oh, yeah."

Together, they walked onto the street. Their walk was casual, a bit slow, and uncaring. They walked as if they would normally, with no conscious thought of their lack of clothing. There was a flash of light before them, warning them of a car coming. Sokka grinned and told Toph this, whose smirk widened.

Just as the car came upon them, Toph did something Sokka wasn't expecting.

She grabbed his face roughly and pulled his lips down to hers. The kiss remained until the car stopped beside them, honking loudly. "'Ey! Get a room, you two!"

"Who needs a room?" Toph said smoothly, turning with her hands on her hips.

The man blanched and sped through the street. When he was gone, Toph and Sokka burst out laughing. Sokka didn't bother asking about the kiss; he was sure it meant nothing anyway. Toph walked onto the street and Sokka followed her. "This feels fucking amazing, doesn't it?"

"What does?"

"Feeling…free."

Sokka scratched his head. "Yeah, guess so."

"Do cartwheels," Toph demanded suddenly.

"Across the street?"

"Mmhmm."

"What're you gonna do?"

"Play dead."

His eyes trailed after her as she lay on the concrete, her eyes closed. He titled his head to look at her; she actually looked peaceful. Huh.

Sokka began doing cartwheels across the street, even doing a few over Toph's still body. A few times she laughed. He laughed with her.

…

From his perch beside his window, the old man watched the teenage couple in front of his house. They were in their underwear. The girl was on the road, lying down. The boy was performing some body movements across the street. The old man couldn't believe his eyes. The sight was something to see, that was for sure – and in his seventy years of life, he had never witnessed such a thing. The couple looked happy – a little insane – but happy.

Finally, the girl stood and motioned for the boy to stop. She gestured to her stomach, then to her mouth. The boy nodded in agreement and they turned and the boy grabbed the girl's hand before they began skipping down the road.

The old man shook his head and chuckled. Kids.
