Lin grumbled as she leaned on the railing of the boat. Once she had gotten home from school, her mother grabbed her and told her to get cleaned and changed into fancy clothing. She was forced to wear a silk green dress that matched her eyes perfectly with most of her hair up in a bun held by a flower and the rest of her hair in two braids hanging upon her shoulders. The young Beifong looked absolutely gorgeous,the dress hugging her every curve, however, her attitude completely deflected her appearance.

"Mother, how could you forget that there was a ball tonight?" Lin questioned annoyed.

Toph answered as she polished her uniform with the help of Sokka as her seeing eye. "I'm sorry, Lin. It just escaped my mind. At least you don't have to make a stupid speech." She turned towards Sokka. "Did I get that spot you told me about?"

"Shiny and clean!" Sokka exclaimed. Toph only smiled at his enthusiasm.

"Also, why do I have to wear a dress? Why can't I wear a uniform like you?" Lin added.

"Well, Linny, you aren't even part of the police force yet so you don't have a uniform." Toph informed her daughter. The girl only turned her head away from her mother.

Sokka spoke up. "Lin, you look stunning. I'm sure Tenzin would rather see you in that than a metal suit."

Lin blushed intensely and said no more. Toph was next to speak. "And what's wrong with my metal suit?

Sokka put an arm around Toph. "Nothing, nothing. It's just I'm sure you would have looked wonderful in a dress as well. But don't get me wrong. You are beautiful in whatever you wear." Toph patted his cheek in approval.

A sly smile appeared on Lin's face. She walked towards the two and put a hand on her hip. "So what about my question this morning?"

Toph and Sokka remained silent. Sokka turned his head towards the Chief of Police but she continued to "look" towards the bay. He turned towards Lin and asked, "Question?"

"No avoiding it! You promised to tell me this morning!" She pointed a finger towards Sokka.

"So what are we?" Toph asked while turning towards the water tribe warrior.

To answer her, Sokka pressed his lips on Toph's and kissed her passionately. Not even the slightest bit disgusted, Lin smiled and watched them. Toph grabbed the back of Sokka's neck and kissed him back. They moved in sync as if they had been doing it for years. Every ounce of passion that poured from each others' lips answered the question clearly.

As they separated, the biggest smiles appeared on the two lover's faces. Toph was the first to speak. "We are together."

"As a family" Sokka stated as she looked over to Lin. She took this as her queue to join them and the three hugged each other tightly. Sokka was living his life now with the two most important people in his lives. Toph now had someone who she could trust and knew that he wouldn't hurt her and Lin. But most importantly, Lin had the love of two parents, something new for her. Toph and Sokka had fulfilled their promise.


The three finally landed on the island and were now walking through the multiple islands found in the house and were making their way towards the living room, somewhere they usually stayed when they were visiting. As they approached, they soon started to hear voices.

"Bumi will you please stop squirming! You are ruining your clothes." Kya screamed.

Bumi only fought back with a snarky remark. "Why? You aren't the one wearing them."

The nineteen year old and sixteen year old continued to bicker. Meanwhile, Katara was nagging at her youngest son while dressed in traditional water tribe formal attire.

"Tenzin will you stand up straight. You remind me of your father." Tenzin only sighed.

Lastly, Aang was just sitting on the couch, dressed in his fancy air nomad garb. For nomads, they sure knew how to dress when it came to a party. Before they stepped into the room, Toph stopped Sokka and Lin. She put her hand on Lin's shoulder and put her finger up to her lips, signaling to her to not say a word about what had happened between her and Sokka. Lin put her hand on her mother's and nodded in agreement. The three entered the living room.

"Oh my! Lin you look so beautiful." Katara squealed.

"Yeah, you sure do." Tenzin said quietly. His face screamed astounded.

Lin made her way towards the avatar's children and the four started to talk. Sokka and Toph walked over to the couch where Aang was situated and sat down. Katara finally asked the question she had wanted to all afternoon.

"Toph, was there someone at your house? Was there a man in your house today? When I was talking on the phone with you, if that was you, I first heard a man's voice."

Toph answered calmly. "Oh really now?"

"Yes really. So? Was there?"

Toph, Sokka and even Aang only snickered, annoying Katara. "Why yes I did, Sweetness. May I ask why this is important information for you to know?"

Katara put her hands on her hips. "Because, I'm just looking at for you Toph. I didn't know you were seeing someone? When did this happen?"

"Just recently actually."

Sokka and Aang just smiled bigger. Katara turned her attention to the two men. "And why are you guys are giddy? Did you know about this?"

"Yup." Sokka answered quickly.

Katara eyed her husband. "Yes I did."

"And how come I didn't know about this?"

"Well will you look at the time! I think it's time for the ball!" Toph informed everyone.

"I agree. Let's go to the bisons." Aang stated.

"Let's head out!" Sokka added.

Katara held her hands up to halt the group, but they kept heading towards the door. "Wait. I don't even get to know who he is?"

Toph continued to walk. "Don't worry, Sugar Queen. You will find out soon enough." She then directed her attention towards Sokka. "Let's go, Snoozles!"

"Coming Honey!" Sokka ran to her and grabbed her hand.

Katara stood stunned.

"WHAT THE SPIRITS!"


Wow! Nice instincts Katara! haha. (x
