Day 5 of taang week is here, late but still, enjoy
Sports
This story takes place in the modern AU where everyone can't bend and Toph can see, Aang and Toph are 15 at this point.
"I'M NOT COMING OUT!"
Katara rolled her eyes as she waited outside one of the stalls of the girl's bathroom, the stall that Toph was in, the one she's been in since before class started. "You lost the bet, Toph. You have to honor your end of the wager" she told her though the door.
The two teens had made a bet involving Toph's boyfriend, Aang, who had tried out for basketball, along with his other sport, track. Though Toph was his girlfriend, she didn't believe that he'd get picked because of his scrawny frame, not to mention he was a head shorter than most of the guys on the team, including Katara's boyfriend, Zuko. But Katara, always the optimist, mentioned that Aang was fast and a good jumper, and had a shot at making the team. They argued for some time, "You know, you should have more faith in him, he is your boyfriend" Katara said, then Toph made the joke, "The day twinkletoes becomes a basketball player is the day I become a cheerleader."
That sentence gave Katara a devious idea and she sets up the bet with Toph. If Katara was wrong, and Aang didn't make the team, then she would have walk down the halls of their school for the day wearing nothing but her underwear. However, if Katara was RIGHT and Aang DID make the team...
"Don't tell me you're going to chicken out." Katara taunted, Toph growled, "Toph Bei Fong is NOT a Chicken!" "Oh yeah? Prove it" Katara dared. Without another word, Toph opened the stall and came out, revealing a cheerleader uniform, it was two-piece with a Long-sleeved top that showed her thin stomach, a skirt that went half pass the thigh and showed of the colors of white and green, one of the four colors of their school. Her hair was still in its bun but the Bangs were moved to show her face. "For the record, Sugar Queen, Aang barely made the team." She said. "Duly noted" Katara said, "Now let's go, we're gonna be late for first period."
They exited the Bathroom and began walking the halls...just as the other students were walking. They didn't see anything off yet, but one girl, Suki, noticed and said loud enough, "Toph? Is that you?" Other students heard the name and turned, seeing Toph in the cheerleader uniform, in waves, they began laughing. Toph tried to hide her face, but Katara wasn't letting her, "Face forward, Toph, that was the deal" She was enjoying this way too much. Along with the laughs, the boys took their turn by letting out cat calls wolf-whistles as she passed them, "Hey baby, nice legs" one boy called out, "where's your Pom-Poms?" Another asked, "How about showing a few flips, sweetheart?"
The girls were laughing as well, some doing mock cheer chants. Three of them happen to be Azula and her cliché of Mai and Ty-Lee, "Well, well, what do we have here?" Azula asked "Wow, Toph, you pull off our uniform real nice" Ty-Lee said, her and Azula being members of the cheer squad themselves, "But why are you wearing one?" "Aang made the Basketball team, so Toph decided to wear something...Fitting for his success" Katara said with a smile, She didn't really like Azula, but she didn't want to miss a chance to embarrass Toph even more.
Toph looked at her, not believing what she just said. "And here I though she was the more subtle girl" Mai said in her bored tone, "I heard about that kid making the team" Azula said, then added, "Well, Bei Fong, I suppose you'll be joining the squad well." Toph growled, "Fat chance, Queen bitch" Azula smirked before she and her friends left them. Katara gave a laugh, "I'm Sorry, but I couldn't help it" she said.
Toph Growled and started to run away, "Toph! Hey, come back!" Katara called out, but Toph just ran, passing by more kids who saw her and laughed, she stopped just as she was about to run into someone...that someone ends up to be Aang. "Toph?" he asked as he took a good look at her, making Toph blushed, "Twinkletoes...I...I can explain!"
"You Joined the Cheerleaders?" Aang asked, "It's not what it looks like" Toph started to say, but Aang interrupted with, "That's great news." Toph looked confused at that, "I was trying to tell you when I called you before" he started to say, Toph remember that call, Aang telling her he made tryouts, anything else he said was forgotten as she dropped the phone, realizing she lost her bet. "A lot of the Practice and games are at night. I wanted to talk to you about it because it would have meant our regular dates would be postponed because of the team" He explained. Toph looked surprised, "Really?" Aang continued, "Yeah, but if you're Joining the cheer squad, that means we can see eachother during practice and games. You are joining them, are't you?" he asked.
Toph gave another blush. On one hand, she didn't want to be caught dead wearing the cheer uniform again...but on the other hand, She would have to miss Aang more, what with both Track and now Basketball. 'Oh...why does my boyfriend have to be so good at sports' she thought to herself.
She sees Aang still looking at her and she decides... "Yes Aang, in fact, I'm going to try out tonight. I was just...wearing the uniform...to get a feel for it." Aang was overjoyed about that that he picked her up and spun her around, making her blush more, "Twinkletoes, not here!" she said. Aang put her down, "Sorry, I'm just so happy. Now I don't feel like I'm ditching you" Aang said, He quickly moves in and gives her a kiss on the lips. Surprised, Toph gave a sudden sigh and kisses back, wrapping her arms around his neck while he has his around her bare waist, giving her chills.
They pull away, both blushing but smiling. "I'll see you after school then?" he asked. " You know it" Toph answered, they pulled away and left for their class, but not before Aang says, "By the way, the uniform look hot on you" and adds a wink. Toph blushed deeper at that, 'He thinks I'm hot.' She though with glee.
As she walked, she ignored the looks and laughs she got, she didn't care anymore. She didn't care that she still went ahead and joined the cheer squad, she didn't care that she had to wear the uniform every time she went to the games and practice. If Aang was going to join sports, then Toph would be by his side, cheering her boyfriend onto victory
This came pretty fast, I was just struck with inspiration. enjoy it, everyone
