Beautiful Disaster
Author's Note: I finally have time to update this story. First of all, I'm sorry about all the confusion with Toph. It's the first time I ever had to do a story with a blind character, and I have to admit, it's kind of challenging. Unfortunately, I've done a few changes to the story, so I apologize to any of you, who have liked the old version of it. Anyway, please check my info for updates. Mitsu.
Summary: Toph secretly likes Aang, Zuko secretly likes Katara. Katara hates Zuko, Aang can't stand Toph. Best friends become lovers, opposites attract. What's the worst that could happen?
Chapter One
Aang was in crucial help of finding a firebending teacher. They have been traveling the in the air for two days straight. Night had fell, Aang landed Appa down into the forest.
"We'll be safe here for tonight." said Aang.
"Hopefully." said Toph. Toph jumped off of Appa and laid down upon the soil. "Ah, how I miss land."
"Katara, can we skip setting up camp and just sleep?" asked Sokka. He unrolled his sleeping bag and laid down upon it. Katara looked down at him and sighed.
"Fine, we'll set up camp tomorrow." said Katara. She unrolled her sleeping bag, and placed it beside Sokka.
"Good night Appa." said Aang, as laid down upon Appa's paw. Appa growled and placed his head down.
"Good night Katara." whispered Aang. Toph looked over to the sound of Aang's voice. "Twinkle toes, can't you see she doesn't love you? " thought Toph.
Late at night, Katara walked through the woods holding a piece of parchment. She kept looking back, hoping no one was following her, especially Sokka. She looked at the full moon above, and next to it, the north star, hoping it would lead her to her destination. Suddenly, the bushes started to ruffle, there was no wind out tonight, scared, Katara ran faster, hoping that someone, or something wouldn't catch her. Her heart was beating faster, the more it kept beating, the faster she started to run out of breath, but she wouldn't give up that easily. She reached for her water pouch, but had forgotten that she left it back at the campsite.
"There you are."
A person stood infront of her, clutching her wrists tightly.
"I believe this belongs to me."
Katara tried to break free from the grasps. "No! Aang needs to learn Fire Bending". thought Katara. The person moved in closer toward her face. Katara had no where to go, she was trapped. The only she could do, was cry and beg for mercy, and so she did. The person couldn't let her go, no matter how much she cried, it kept getting closer to her. Their lips met. Katara felt jolt, that had shot through her heart. She hated the taste of the person's lips mixed with her salty tears. The person grabbed the Fire Bending scroll from Katara's hands and smirked.
"Thank you."
"Prince Zuko." said Katara. She looked at him with sympathy.
"Katara!"
Katara looked back, only to see that no one was there. When she looked infront of her, the prince had vanished, along with the Fire Bending scroll.
"Hey sugar queen! Wake up!" shouted Toph. She lifted a piece of the ground two levels up.
Katara woke up and looked down at the ground. "Put me down Toph!"
Toph smirked and stoke the ground, causing Katara to fall at a rapid speed. "Toph!" screamed Katara. Toph began to burst out with laughter. Aang woke up and walked towards them.
"Hey? What's going on here?" asked Aang.
"Toph tried to kill me in my sleep!" shouted Katara.
"You wanted me to bring you down." said Toph. "I gave you what you asked for."
"Couldn't you see that I was still sleeping?" asked Katara.
"It's almost sunrise, and we needed to get moving." said Toph.
"We all agreed to make camp here." said Katara. "If you would've been a little more patient."
"I WAS PATIENT!" screamed Toph.
"Toph, maybe you're getting a little - "
"A little too what twinkle toes?" interupted Toph.
"Well, why couldn't you just wake me up first?" asked Aang.
"I couldn't find you." said Toph. "Maybe you were floating in your sleep of something, but I couldn't find you."
"WHAT IS GOING ON OVER THERE!" shouted Sokka. "Can't you see I'm sleeping?"
"Well you're not anymore aren't you?" asked Toph.
"Toph, we'll get moving soon." said Aang. "Right now, let's just settle down here for awhile, and have something to eat."
Toph growled. "If you need me, I'll be by the river." She stomped hard upon the ground, leaving her footprints upon the hard ground.
"What's bugging Toph?" asked Sokka.
"I don't know, but this is the farthest she'll get to me." said Katara. "That girl has no patience at all!"
"Let's not be so hard on her though." said Aang.
"Aang, don't you think I already know that?" asked Katara. "I'm trying my best to make her feel welcomed in this group, but all she can do is just be obnoxious."
"I'm going after her." said Aang.
Meanwhile by the river, Toph was sitting down upon a boulder. She was holding a bunch of small pebbles in her hand. "What's wrong with me?" thought Toph, as she threw a pebble into the water. "Why does twinkle toes have to make me feel this way?"
"Hey Toph."
Toph threw another pebble into the water. "What do you want?"
"I just came here to see what you were doing." said Aang.
"Well, what does it look like I'm doing?" asked Toph. She threw another pebble into the water.
Aang got onto the boulder and sat down beside her. "Seems like you're doing nothing?"
Toph threw another into the water. "You're clueless twinkle toes." She jumped off of the boulder and dumped the pebbles on the ground.
"What's that suppose to mean?" asked Aang.
"Figure it out yourself." said Toph. "I'm heading back to camp."
