Chapter 2: It Felt Right...

By: xT0PH

Toph and Aang slept unmoved, exactly in the spots where they had fallen asleep...the moment would've been pretty serene but Aang was snoring pretty loudly. Katara stood, leaning against the bison, just staring at them with her arms crossed. Sokka, was walking back and forth around the camp gathering some supplies.

" Don't they look so cute and peaceful?" She smiled, adoring the view.

"Oh, yea, yea, They look absoloutly adorable." He answered back, in his usual sarcastic tone. "Now, can you hurry up and wake them up, so we can go to the village and get some food?'' He held his stomache as it growled loudly. ''I am sooo hungry."

The waterbender chuckled as she patted her brother's stomache, He looked back at her with a pretty annoyed expression. "You're always hungry..." She spat back. "Besides I don't want too, they look so peaceful. Like if they're getting the best rest of thier lifes.''

Sokka sighed as he shouted back. ''Okay, fine, If you won't, then I will.'' He walked over, and leaned toward Toph, and began patting her shoulder to wake her up. The earthbender stirred, still very drowsy, she felt the tugging on her shoulder, and suspected that she was under attack. So she slowly lifted her arm, and then quickly earthbended a rock in the direction where Sokka was leaned over. Toph, then sat up and rubbed her eyes, while turning her head in diffrent directions as she heard the scream that came out of Sokka's mouth as he flew several feet away from the camp.

"Oh...Sokka?.." She chuckled under her breath, "Hehe, sorry, force of habit.''

Katara, a couple of feet away was hugging her stomache, laughing uncontrollably at the scene she just witnessed. Yet still, surprisingly, Aang still slept through all of this. Suddenly, the warrior came stomping back from the woods, and got very close to his sister's face as he shouted, "Can you PLEASE just wake him up already!...", He pointed to Aang, and then swiftly turned his face toward the earthbender. "And can you stop it with your earth-quaking!''.

Toph stubbornly crossed her arms, "Never.'' She said while smirking.

Katara, now really annoyed by Sokka's new attitude, yelled back, "You need to calm youself down!".

Aang, a couple of feet away, sat up drowsily awakened by Katara's yell. He looked around to see Toph sitting not too far away from him. He smiled as he said, "Good Morning", in his usual happy tone.

Sokka, looking away from his sister's face (who was still shouting at him by the way) to see Aang wake up. "FINALLY! Now we can get out of here and get some FOOD!". He ran toward his bag, and began marching away, as his sister quickly walked over and dragged him by the collar to where everyone else was sitting.

''Huh? Where are you guys going?'' Asked Toph, in a very confused voice.

''We just thought we'd go to the local village to pick up some food or maybe some fish. We are running alittle low on food." Katara looked toward the small almost empty bag next to Appa, which contained thier meals.

"Oh...So you're gonna leave me and Twinkletoes alone?''

"Yep, you both should be okay..." Katara looked up at the sun to get an idea of the time, "Well, we should get going now..". Sokka behind them, began, running toward the separation between two trees, which lead to a path to town. Katara walked over to thier meal bag, slinged it over her shoulder, and quickly waved, and she walked toward the path, not too far behind Sokka.

Both Toph and Aang, were looking toward the direction in which they left. When Toph rapidly stood up and blurted out. "Im gonna go for a walk."

Aang looked up at her, remembering the conversation they had the night before. He was glad that she believed in him, but he wasn't so sure if he believed in himself just yet. "Alone? You think you'll be okay?"

She looked in his direction, and asked quite annoyed, "Twinkletoes, can I ask you something? Why did I leave home? BECAUSE everyone was always trying to take care of me, . Yes, I am going alone, and Yes, I can take care of myself." And with that, she stomped away into the woods, making the earth shake alittle with each step.

Aang's expression went to a dissapointed frown, as he said lowly, "Im sorry..". It didnt do any good, she was already gone.

"Who does he think he is! Someone needs to keep that boy in check." Toph, said lowly while talking to herself, but stopped when she heard the voice of a young angsty teen. She slowly stepped following the voice, when she came to a large bush, where their camp was set on the opposite side. She listened more carefully to hear the conversation of two people...

"Oh, delicious. Would you like a cup of my freshly brewed tea, nephew?"

Zuko sat not too far away from his uncle, with a sulky look on his face. "Uncle, I dont want any of your tea. I want you to teach me more firebending!"

"Oh, yes, yes, there will be time for that, but first..", He said in a sing-songy voice "Teaaa!".

"Hmm...", Toph though to herself. She stopped listening and began walking.

'The uncle is a firebender...I wonder if he would be willing to...Nah, its too crazy...He'd never agree...but then again, Im gonna have to pay him a visit and ask...'

Unfortunately, Toph was too busy paying attention to her thoughts, that she didnt notice where she was going and took a wrong step. Right into a river.

"Ahh!", was all that she could let out before she fell into the cold, piercing water."

-Meanwhile-

Aang sat in the middle of the campsite, with one hand on his cheek, looking bored. He hoped that any minute Toph would come back since he really enjoyed her company. He stayed like this, in the same position, for atleast ten minutes, that is until he heard a scream. "Toph!" He swiftly stood up and ran toward his glider. Aang, then opened it, to reveal it's wings, and then jumped as the glider took flight. He looked below, to see dozens of tops of trees, when he saw a small river, in the middle of it all...and something black in it. He then flew down for a landing, next to the river and dove in head first. He didnt have to swim too deep, to find her, and when he did, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her up, out of the water, and onto the grass. To his surprise, she wasn't very heavy.

The avatar then looked around, panicking. She wasn't breathing, and he couldnt waterbend the water out of her lungs, Katara hadn't taught him how to do that yet. He could always... He looked around as if to reassure himself that no one was looking as he took a big breath of air, as he slowly moved closer to Toph's mouth. He got pretty uneasy as thier lips touched, and he blew the wind into her lungs. He kept his eyes, as he tensed up and felt alittle tingly inside. He stopped and again, took a breath of air, and blew it into her lungs again. He wasn't sure how to explain it, but it sorta just...felt right. He slowly closed his eyes, as he went to saving her...to well, kissing her. Unfortunately for him, the gust of wind worked almost immediately and Toph slowly began to open her eyes. Her eyes opened wide open as she felt a pair of lips on hers...and from her knowledge, they did not belong there.

'W.T.F. is he doing? What am I doing here! Oh right...I fell...into...the river.'

Toph, not really sure what to do, tapped his shoulder, to show that she was indeed awake. Aang's eyes slowly opened to see, a pair of wide light green eyes. He let out a small yelp as he backed away, blushing and chuckling nervously, frightened at what she would say...or worse, do.

The Blind Bandit slowly sat up, and just stared at him with her eyes wide open, surprised , she was absoloutly speechless. "Um..", She muttered, while pulling off her headband, letting her hair fall to her shoulders.

Aang stared at it, mesmorized. 'She has such long and beautiful hair...'

"Um...maybe we, should, uh, forget this ever happened, and never talk about it again." She added, without thiinking.

"Err, okay." He said nonchalantly, but he wasn't too sure of what to think of it. He really didn't know even what to think of what he had just done. He kept watching her, as she stood up and began walking toward the direction in which she came. He followed her lead and stood up walking after her, leaving a couple feet seperation between them.

'That was weird...but what was more weird is...maybe I sorta liked it...just maybe...I wonder...would he...should...'

Without thinking, Toph stopped walking and just stood there, Aang walked up behind her and was puzzled of why she would stop walking.

''Hey Toph, are you--", but he was cut off. Toph had turned around and grabbed his collars with both her hands and pulled his face close to hers...real close. She had her eyes focused on where his lips would be, and just stopped there. Unexpectedly, Aang broke the gap, until thier lips touched...and this time, Toph kissed him back.

Around them, the sun set, and night fell.
