Chapter Four

Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar. Ever.

"Hey! I know who you are! You're that crazy girl that was in that destroyed village!" Toph finally recognized his voice. Her golden eyes looked down at her.

"Crazy girl? I prefer to be called Fire Princess Azula," Azula introduced herself to the captive.

"Aaaazula!" spoke a high pitched, cheery voice.

"Yes Ty Lee?" Azula responded, while Toph sniggered.

Ty Lee came into Toph's view. She was wearing all pink, and her hair was in a ponytail...braid thing.

What a girly girl, Toph thought.

Ty Lee looked at Toph with a questionable look on her face.

"Where'd she come from?" she asked Azula.

"She captured me!" Toph said before Azula had a chance to explain.

Ty Lee looked at Azula for an explanation.

"I found her sleeping by herself and thought we could use her…to ensure the capture of the Avatar," Azula lied.

Ty Lee was gullible enough to believe her lie.

"Great. Another passenger," spoke an unemotional, bored voice. Toph looked to where it was and Mai was standing there.

"You have henchwomen?" Toph spat out.

Azula shook her head.

'They are my friends. We're after your comrade, the Avatar. Don't be coy with me, I know you travel with him.

Toph bit her lip, knowing Azula thought ahead of her.

"Well, what are we going to do now?" Mai asked, eying the girl.

"I'm Ty Lee, this is Mai and I am pretty sure you met Azula. What's your name?" Ty Lee asked, happily.

"Toph…?" she smiled uneasily. How can one be so cheerful?

She should be called Air Head, Toph thought.

Mai shook her head.

"Ty Lee, she's not a houseguest. And we're in a tank. Not a homely place," she said, reprimanding Ty Lee a little.

Ty Lee sighed.

"Where are we?" Toph demanded. She was also feeling a little bit left out.

Azula smirked.

"Ba Sing Se. Don't worry Toph, we'll be meeting up with your friends. Plus, we'll have…plenty of fun, don't you think, hm?" Azula smirked again, a plan brewing in her mind as she spoke.

Toph looked to the side.

"Fun? I would like to leave! I could take all you down in less than a minute!" she bluffed slightly.

"Oh really. I'd love to see that happen," Mai muttered.

Toph heard her comment and squinted her eyes angrily at Mai.

Azula raised her hand, as if stopping the bitterness between Toph and Mai.

"Ty Lee, Mai and I are going to get breakfast. Care to join us, Toph?" Azula said with almost sincerity. Almost.

"No! Why would I eat with you guys?" Toph said, alarmed.

Azula closed her eyes and shrugged.

"Whatever suits to your liking…" she replied.

Ty Lee, Mai and Azula left Toph in the compartment as the three girls left the captive girl alone as they headed off for breakfast. Little did Azula and the other girls know, they had left the door open slightly. The ground in view. Rocks.

Toph smiled. She was going to escape.
