Chapter 3: Nope, I Didnt Forget It...

By: xT0PH

Huge drops of sweat poured down Toph's face as she continued to move oddly, and bend multiple piles of very large rocks of out the cavern toward her student. She couldn't help but chuckle alittle as he dodged several rocks. Dodge, was that all he could do? Haha. Pathetic. Yes, she did have feelings for him, but he wasn't a very good fighter, not good enough to beat her anyways...but then again, she was amazing. It was believable if he couldnt beat her, alot couldn't. She smiled to herself, and chuckled alittle, as she came back to reality, and noticed a medium sized rock comming toward her, but she quickly moved her hands, and sliced the rock in half.

Aang, stood not too far from Toph, with his mouth wide open, speechless.

"Good one, you caught me off guard, but i promise, it won't happen again. Oh, and you're getting alittle better. Not as good as me...(in a lower tone-''but of course noone can be as good as me...'') but you're getting better." She brushed some imaginary dust off her shoulder. ( A/N- Oh Snap! Toph's a gangstaaaa:o )

The Avatar chuckled and answered back, "Whoa, is the mighty Toph Bei Fong giving me a compliment?", he said jokingly.

"Yeeaaa, well, don't get used to it!", She snapped back...but in a jokey kinda way...or atleast I think so...it's hard to tell with Toph. An awkward silence seperated the two, for about eight seconds, and thoughts flew through Toph's head about the previous evening...She almost touched her lips..but she stopped herself halfway. "Err..well, get back in your stance! ...And try to hit me." She flipped some of her long bangs into her face, as she too, got into her horse stance.

His eyes suddenly widened, as he quickly jumped back into his usual earthbending stance. A neutral expression spread across his face, as he moved both of his hands in a circular motion, as several small rocks formed together to make a large tornado-like water gun...instead it was a rock gun.

It began shooting multiple rocks at Toph, but She bended a large earth wall to protect herself as a shield. Then she listened until the pattering of rocks died down, when she quickly bended the wall down, and was about to bend a larger rock at him, but she was stoped as she felt a large gust of wind, and several small rocks blow past as she flew back acouple of feet, and landed on her back.

"Ahh! Not Again! Sorry Toph! I swear, Im trying really hard not to use my airbending along with my earthbending but it just like...I cant do them seperate!'', He shouted as he ran toward her and stopped infront of her, getting ready to pull her up, but instead of seeing her angry face, he saw her with her eyes closed, enjoying the grass. He held out his hand, to pick her up, and she reached for it, but instead she pulled him down next to her...and once again he was reminded of how strong she really was. He rolled abit, but he fell, and landed in front of her, and close...real close. He stopped himself from closing in, as he saw her lowly cough and turn her face to the side, as her cheeks began to light up with a bright red. She shook her face, and then she turned back and pushed him next to her, so that he was laying on the grass.

A couple of feet away, hidden in the trees, walked the waterbender, who stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Aang leaning on Toph. With not much space between them. Uh..Whoa, They're close...alittle too close..no, alot too close!...Are they.. She shook her head of the thoughts that started to come up, and she walked quickly back to camp, as if she saw nothing.

"Hey..um.." Aang chuckled nervously, "...what exactly are you..doing?", he asked with a large blush on his face. I wonder if she's trying to..uhh...nahh... (A/N: Pfft, you dirrty minded, people. :P Dont be perverted. He thinks that she's trying to kiss him again, duhhh.)

"Relax, ok? ...this is part of your training. Now, I want you to regulate your breathing patterns, and spread your arms out wide on the grass, and actually feel the earth".

"Oh." He answered back dissapointedly. He wanted to protest, but he figured the best thing to do, was to follow her instructions. Aang closed his eyes, and he felt her scoot over alittle, so he'd have space to strech out his arms. He reached out both his hands, as he clenched into some grass and dirt, while he began to slowly inhale and exhale.

"Now, what do you feel?...Oh, and a wrong answer will get you a mouthful of dirt." She smiled, meaning that last part as a joke...but not really.

"It's sorta hard to explain...It's a weird sensation, I guess you could say. Like...I definately feel something. I just don't know-."

A smile slowly creeped onto her face, as he gave her the answer she waiting for. Well, not the exact answer, but close enough. She abruptly cut him off, with a "Good. Now, let's try something else." She lifted up both her hands slowly, as the piece of ground that they both layed on rose 50 feet high. "Meditation Time!" She folded her legs into a 'indian sitting position'(A/N: I think that's what you call...well they called it that in elementary...), and closed her eyes while she began to hum very faintly.

Aang followed her lead, and sat directly infront of her, while he began to meditate. He wasn't really meditating though, he was thinking...about Toph, about yesterday, about today, about everything.

Toph...What do I think of her?...Right now, Im too not sure...I think Im starting to see her diffrently...but what about...There's just something now, that just makes me wanna smile when I see her. Did I always think like this? Maybe...just maybe...I always did. And I just didn't realize it until now...

He suddenly came back to reality to see Toph's eyes open, and an odd expression on her face.

"You're tense...and you've been squirming alot. The vibrations that you're sending off are telling me that you're either confused or worried. Are you ok?"

"In a way, I am..but I need to talk to you. About yesterday."

"Err..Okay...What about it?"

"It's kinda uncomfortable for me to talk about, but I trust you. It's just, I dont know. I was wondering, do you actually like me? like that? I mean, right after we..uh..stopped kissing...you walked back to the camp, and we haven't talked or mention anything of it since. Did you forget or something?'' (A/N: Gawssh, Aang likes to get straight to the point.. :P)

Toph immediately felt goose bumps rise on her arms, as she heard the emphasis on 'like that'. "No. I didnt forget it."

"Didn't any of that mean anything to you? Because...it did to me."

She could not believe what she was hearing. "So..what are you trying to say."

His tone began to lower, and sound dissapointed. "Just forget it, I guess." He raised his arms and lower the rock back into the spot where they had been sitting in. The avatar sat up and began to walk toward camp.

Toph, sat up and said back without thinking, "Um...wait."

Aang stopped looking back at her with a hopeful expression, as she ran up to him. A smile creeped onto her face, as she stomped one foot into the ground, which made aang sink in about half a foot deep. She quickly gave him a peck on the lips as she stomped once more, which made Aang sink up to his shoulders.

"That's you're last test for today." She answered with her signature smirk. "Get out of that hole, only using earthbending, oh and without dieing and stuff." She began to walk toward the woods, from the direction that they came. "Cya later, Twinkletoes..."

He couldn't help but smile as he watched her walk away. She was just so diffrent from...everyone. How she acted, thought, and how she handled her situations.

Yes, he was definately sure, he had feelings for her.

And if they hadn't existed before, then they were growing, fast.

I think this might jsut be my favorite chapter yet. Trust me people, I will not abandon this story. ;) Its way too fun writing it. Oh, and if you didnt really understand the ending, then its supposed to be that, Toph wasnt really sure how she would show that she liked him, so I guess you could say, she sorta dropped hints or something, or she symbolized that she can love you, but she's not afraid to whoop ur butt or something...Well, I dunnoo...its self explanitory. xP Cuz..I cant really explain it. Annywaays, You must review! Or Joo Dee, and all those freak-os from Ba Sing Se are gonna brainwash you and stuff. sooo, R&R:)
