Chapter 6: The Slumber Party
Toph POV
I will apologize to Aang for what I said to his people, I know that I went too far. After the war, It seems all of my friends have a plan after this war. Hei did say I have a spiritual destiny, I thought this spirit stuff is for Aang, I am never really a spiritual person.
Suddenly a gateway of light just shows up, and I can see Aang and Hei's body shape. They are lucky it is just me around the area.
"So, what did you guys talk about in the Spirit World?" I said curiously.
"We are talking about the Avatar State, Apparently the Avatar State was supposed to be a lot stronger when I fought Ozai. I guess I have not completely mastered the Avatar State. Oh, and that Long Feng has the evil Earth Spirit inside of him. Hey Hei, can I tell Toph about her destiny?" Aang said questionably.
"Nah I will tell her once we are at a good shelter, It's chilly and dark outside. Do you guys know where can we go?" Hei said questionably.
"We can go to Iroh's and spend a night there," I said. Aang, Hei, and I walk around Ba Sings Se to find a wooden shop that says the Jasmine Dragon on top.
"Ah, Aang and Toph you're back. You guys have been gone for a long time, well I'm glad that you are safe. I sense the Spirit Ruler inside of you, young man. Tell me what your name is?" Iroh introduces himself to Hei.
"My name is Hei, and I heard you are very special in the Spirit World. You were the first choice of being the new Fire Spirit to replace Agni, but you refused. You used to be a ruthless general before your son Lu Ten passes away. Your son misses you, and he is waiting for you in Nirvana." Hei said cheerfully.
"You met my son; I hope he is doing okay. I guess you are the new Spirit Ruler. I believe that you come to this world because the evil spirits have come to this world. I suppose Iblis, Leviathan, Sammael, and Pan have made the move to conquer humanity. La is dying if Leviathan is released, Agni must have been in critical health if Iblis is here, Bhikṣuṇī needs to find a new host or else Air will cease to exist, and Gaea is dying because of the destruction of forests and the fact that the Earth Kingdom just thinks of her as a story character. Trust me I know what's going because I spent a lot of time in the Spirit World when I was done fighting for the corrupt Fire Nation." Iroh said as if he knows what is going on right now. I guess I shouldn't be this surprised that Iroh knows about spiritual matters, well he is a wise old man anyways.
"Thank you for saving time of explaining to Toph and besides instead of talking about spiritual matters, we can have a slumber party. If you don't mind having us at your shop." Hei said excitedly. I smell some smoke in the air and then Hei suddenly changes in a female shape.
"What just happened, and why are you a girl?" Aang said in a surprised tone.
"To have a slumber party in this tea shop. Oh, and why am I a girl because why not. I always wanted to have a slumber party and doing makeup and hair for others. Don't worry Aang, I will only do it to Toph."
"Hold on, don't you dare try to do my hair and put makeup on me," I said in an annoyed tone
"Ohh but come on, you shouldn't be ashamed of your femininity. Besides, think of the embarrassment when you beat up a grown man with a dress on" Hei said excitedly.
"Ok fine, at least you are not Sugar Queen and I got nothing better to do. You better not put me in an uncomfortable and ridiculous-looking outfit." I said in a tired tone. This Hei guy is very weird, and somehow Hei's a girl now. He did have a good point about beating up people with a dress on. I can see their expression of pure humiliation.
"Hey, guys I can also cook for you guys if Iroh let me use his kitchen. Aang I can cook some Air Nomad dishes for you guy as well. We air nomads are very good bakers and made good vegetarian dishes. Aang you will need two books that will help your culture back to this world, and I bring them with me." Hei said while he was putting on foundation or whatever, I am only doing this so I can beat up people as humiliating as possible.
Hei brought out two objects that I guess are what they are called books, cut me some slack people, I am blind remember. Hei has some nice fingers when he or I guess she was brushing my hair. It didn't hurt when she pushed my hair down, meanwhile, Katara and Suki struggle to even wet my hair. I cannot believe that my hair feels soft now and it's not dry anymore when Hei put some cream-like substance in my hair, while she was rinsing my hair. Ok, I'll admit, it felt good. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I don't mind being girly with Hei. Meanwhile, Aang was too busy looking over these books that Hei brought with her. I never peg Aang as a book guy, that always seems to be Sokka's thing.
"Wow Hei thank you so much, I can't believe that one book contains all of the traditions and holidays that the Air Nomads celebrate. The next book contains all of the Air Nomad cuisine imaginable. I can't wait to share this information with the future Air Nomads." Aang said excitedly.
"Here Aang, make us a fruit cake with Iroh. The cookbook should help you out." Hei said when she finally finishes up my hair. My hair feels nice now, while Hei was busy tying up my hair into a ponytail. I put my headband on, and then I decided to wear a dress that somehow Hei got. Man, that guy or girl is so random, but I kind of like it. Iroh was holding up the prepared cake, while Aang was busy cleaning up a table.
"Alright, the cake is done, wow you would have thought that I have two stunning ladies in my shop, though it confuses me Spirit Ruler of why you are a girl, it doesn't matter. Aright dig in, but I will have the biggest piece." Iroh said in a humorous tone. Leave it to that old man, to make us laugh.
Everybody is eating and talking. I guess today was a good day. I hope I can talk to Aang about what I said about his people.
Suddenly a messenger came to Iroh and give him urgent news "Master Jeong Jeong require your presence at the city of Zhaofu. There are a ragtag of mischief teenagers who called themselves the Red Lotus, and they are fighting Jeong Jeong, Paindao, and Pakku right now as we speak. I need to find King Bumi quick as well."
"I will travel tomorrow to Zhaofu, I need to watch over these kids. How about you can sleep at my tea shop if you want." Iroh said kindly.
"No that's alright, I will go back to the White Lotus with my ostrich horse. See you then Iroh. I hope these three will defeat these teenagers." The messenger said.
"Looks like kids, it seems I will be traveling tomorrow. In the meantime, I need to have Jizen look after the tea shop, once I begin to journey. I will worry about that tomorrow, I'm tired. Alright, kids don't make a mess." Iroh yawned and went to bed.
"The Red Lotus begins to make their move, huh, It seems Ezion wants to make as much trouble as possible. Damn these guys are relentless, but I guess Iroh will take care of these guys" Hei said in an annoyed tone.
"Who is the Red Lotus, and what do they want?" I said questionably.
"Well gorgeous, The Red Lotus is a secret organization that is led by Ezion of the Apocalyptic Dragon. He is your pal Zuko's maternal cousin, oof you got to feel for Zuko dealing with a murderous family member. It is said that his fire bending knows no equal, and yes, he is more powerful than Ozai. He is the host of the evil Fire Spirit Iblis, and he wants to destroy the royal family. We cannot afford to deal with the Red Lotus when Long Feng escape. We might need to leave Ba Sing Se to prepare for that, and to find the descendants of Air Nomads as well." Hei said in a neutral tone.
Damn it seems Sparky has to deal with more family issues. If what Hei said is true of the Red Lotus, then should we go with Iroh to fight these guys.
"I know what you are thinking Toph but is not our fight. We need to trust Iroh to take care of these guys. I am afraid that It is Zuko and Azula's destiny to take down Iblis because Iblis has ruined their family thanks to the promise of power and glory. Anyway, I'm going to bed, I guess all three of us are sharing a room. You guys should probably talk to each other in the meantime." Hei said sleepily, while he is laying down on the floor with blankets on the floor and a pillow. Hei is still in his female form, you know by just looking at his female shape, she is the most attractive female I have ever known. She is a lot more attractive than Katara, Mai, Suki, Ty Lee, and Azula. It is so funny that he can change into a girl and still make these girls look plain. I proceed to touch her face and hair, and wow it is so smooth.
"Toph, why are you touching Hei? You know what never mind. I cannot believe that he can change into a girl, an attractive one at that, and he manages to make you wear a dress and put make-up on you. Anyway Toph, I wanted to say I'm sorry for calling you a horrible teacher and a bad friend." Aang said in a regretful tone.
"It's fine Aang, and I'm sorry about the remake I make towards your people. I was a jerk. Anyway, Hei is a lot more attractive than Katara, he makes Sugar Queen look average in his female form. You know what Aang I trust Hei, He speaks the truth the whole time and he has a fun personality. Point is, he did a good first impression. I going to join Hei on his or should I say her journey with the spirits business. I want to find myself Aang, you guys have plans for yourselves, I guess I just a break from you guys. I hope you understand." I said sorrowfully.
"I get it Toph, why did you think I left you guys to meet the lion turtles to end this war. I will always be there for you. I admit, Hei is a lot more attractive than Katara, but she does not have Katara's spirit, and she can change into a dude. I know you will do something awesome with your journey, you always have. I hope you do not mind the Spirit World and going on a journey with Azula." Aang said in a sleepy tone.
"Thanks, Twinketoes, who knows this spiritual adventure might be fun especially with Azula on board. I will not mind her if she is not trying to bring her father back on the throne and trying to kill Zuko. I guess this adventure will have more people in it besides Azula, Me, and Hei. Goodnight Aang oh and if you ever tell Katara that I wore makeup and a dress, I will personally bury you ten feet underground." I said threatening while I took off the makeup and the dress and put on my favorite outfit. I begin to lay with Hei on the floor, while Aang went on the bed to sleep. Ha wimp, only softies only sleep on beds.
"Your secret is safe with me. Goodnight Toph" Aang said before he dozes off. I begin to doze off as well, right next to Hei and I put my arms around her. God Hei is so cute, she begins to cuddle with me as well.
