Chapter 20

Cured

After three days being free from Jet's threat, Katara decided to go to the marketplace, walking by Toph's room she began, "Hey Toph, do you want to join me shopping?"

"Sure I guess sugar queen." She replied and got to her feet and followed Katara.

As they reached the marketplace Katara looked on the notice board and smiled, "Hey Toph, there is a ball tonight!"

'So?' thought Toph, 'Aang wouldn't even dance with me, even if I asked.' Toph looked at Katara and muttered, "What kind?"

"Mask Ball, think I know how to get Aang to dance with you."

"Huh?" Katara dragged Toph into a dress shop and began, "Hello, hi my friend and I are looking for a dress for the ball tonight."

"Ah your friend will love this…oh she is blind…oh wait, I have an idea…"

The woman came out with some weird bottle and began, "Here young child, I was researching herbs and I think you will love this!"

Katara looked at the woman strangely and began, "Drink this young lady."

Toph drank the weird bottle and gagged, "EW, what is this stuff?"

Toph looked at Katara and gasped, "Katara! I CAN SEE!"

"Yes it worked!" laughed the woman, "I was researching herbs when I found a cure for blindness, but I learnt that it only lasts for a week, then you need to make more and take another drink of the bitter potion!"

"Can I have the ingredients!" asked Toph eagerly.

"Sure, here you are." The woman handed a piece of parchment to Toph and Toph gave it to Katara and began, "Katara once we get our dresses take me EVERYWHERE! I want to see Appa! I want to see the sky! I want to see everything!"

Katara laughed and smiled at the woman and replied, "Thank you. Now could you help us choose a dress?"

"Ooh! This one Katara!" called Toph picking out a green dress.

"Try it on Toph; I'll try on this blue one."

Katara got changed into her blue dress, it was beautiful, a strapless dress, the fabric had a blue silk layer over it, it shown off her curves well, went to see Toph in her dress and smiled, "You look awesome Toph."

"You look like a Princess, even though I never seen them, but heard of them." laughed Toph.

Toph wore the green dress, the strap was tied around her neck, and her dress was long it showed her developing curves like Katara's.

"Thanks, we'll take both." smiled Toph as she paid for it as they threw in two masks for the ball with the dresses.

When they left the store Katara showed Toph everything she wanted to see.

…….

When they returned to the palace she gasped, "Wow, it is beautiful!"

"Hey Katara!" called Aang.

"Wow, Aang is actually cute!" whispered Toph.

"Hey Aang, I am going to leave you two; I have to talk to someone."

"Okay…" sighed Aang.

"You look sad."

"What?"

Toph smiled, "You are wearing orange and yellow, you are bald with a blue arrow on your head."

"What? Did Katara tell you this?" asked Aang.

"Nope, I am cured, I am no longer blind for a week, then I am back to being so, until I make the potion."

"Potion?"

"Yeah, when me and Katara went shopping a lady gave me some potion and the ingredients and I was cured, although it only lasts for a week." Replied Toph then begged, "Could you show me Appa and Momo, oh and your airbending please!"

Aang stared at Toph then smiled, "Okay, APPA!"

Appa came to view and Toph exclaimed, "WOW!"

Momo leaped on to Toph's shoulder and she laughed, "So this is Momo?"

"Yep, nodded Aang as he airbended on his air ball and circled Toph and crashed into a tree and Toph laughed, "Do you always do that?"

Aang nodded.

"Are you going to the ball tonight?"

"Sure, I guess, but Katara probably going to be dancing with Zuko…" sighed Aang.

"What about me?" asked Toph innocently.

"Well sure I guess."

"YEAH!" Toph stomped the ground and threw herself into the air and landed on her feet again and laughed, "You are going to love my dress!"

With that she walked away happily.

'Gosh she is cute when she is happy.'

Wait what am I saying?

'You have a crush on her!'

I do not.

'Do to, leave Katara to be, she has Zuko.'

Who said?

'You.'

But

'No buts, ask Toph to dance with you tonight!'

Fine

'YES'

………..

"Hey Toph, whoa what makes you so happy?"

"I can see you Sokka!" laughed Toph as she walked by him and he scratched his head and shrugged and continued moving along.

………..

"Uncle, I am not going to the ball, I have no interest."

"Please Zuko? You are the leader anyways, plus Katara will be there."

"How am I supposed to know who she is when she is wearing a mask?"

"Ignore that fact, just get ready!"

………..

Disclaimer: YA! Toph is cured! I am so sweet, I wanted Toph to be happy so there we go!

Toph: THANKS!

Aang: Why...What happened to 'Kaangs' pairings?

Disclaimer: Sorry Zutara pairing only, no Kaangs!
