Finally chapter four. sorry for the wait :)

She laughed her way back to the festival, going there at full speed.

Though the second she arrived, all the noises hit her at once, making her extremely dizzy.

She stumbled a bit, before feeling the familiar light feet running towards her.

"Whoa, be careful Toph!" Aang called out, wrapping his arms around her as she swayed uneasily.

Her entire face turned bright red, feeling such light, yet strong arms around her.

"G-get off me, Twinkle toes!" Toph yelled, landing a firm punch into Aang stomach.

"S-sorry, sorry." He laughed, rubbing his newly sore spot.

"Are you okay Toph? Where's Zuko?" Katara asked, turning to look behind the blind teen.

"With Mai." Toph answered.

Katara's face turned slightly bitter, before pulling on her fake smile again.

Toph felt Katara's heart pick up.

"What's been up with those two?" Sokka stumbled in with Suki under his arm, his speech slightly slurred, and his shirt wrinkled.

"Zuko's been…distant…" Aang whispered, tapping his chin lightly with his finger. "But I don't know why."

"I wonder if he's stressed." Katara said.

Toph shrugged her shoulders.

"He's always moody!" Sokka yelled, throwing his hands in the air dramatically.

"How did you manage to get drunk so quickly?" Katara put her hands on her waist and pumped her hip to the side, glaring at her older, yet somehow less mature, brother.

"I'm not drunk…" Sokka smiled like an idiot.

"Look, there he is!" Aang yelled out, and pointed his staff towards Zuko, who was walking towards them, alone.

"Where's Mai?" Katara asked.

"Gone." Zuko said bitterly as he approached.

"Ouch…" Aang winced as he noticed the hand sized red mark across Zuko's right cheek.

"It's not that bad." Zuko touched his skin lightly, feeling it sting.

"Well, what happened?" Aang asked, placing his staff behind him.

"She accused me of cheating." Zuko scoffed out, shaking his head in annoyance.

"With who?" Toph asked.

"You, actually." Zuko smirked.

Toph busted laughing, pounding and shaking the earth with her foot. "Are you fucking kidding me?! Me?!"

"It's not true…Is it…?" Katara bit her lip slightly, looking at Zuko as he smiled at the earthbender endearingly, holding back a laugh himself.

"What? Of course not!" Zuko's face turned bright red as he turned to meet Katara's concerned sapphire eyes with his amber ones.

Toph laughed even harder, causing tears to streak down her porcelain cheeks.

"Wow, Sugar Queen, do you seriously think I'd date a guy like him?!" Toph punched Zuko in the side, causing him to chuckle out in both embarrassment, and amusement.

"What's wrong with me?" He joked, pushing away her tiny fist.

"What's not?" Toph countered, sticking her tongue out at the Firelord.

"Toph, can I talk to you for a second?" Katara asked, grabbing her wrist and pulling her away from the crowd.

"What's their problem?!" Sokka yelled out, waving his hand in the two fleeing girls' direction.

"Sokka, I think you should head home." Aang said, placing his hand on his drunken friend's shoulder.

"Alright! Where's Appa?! YIP YIP!"

Zuko sighed.

I'm surrounded by idiots…

I think I didn't make any typos, but when rereading it like 5 times, you tend to actually skip over them, sorry about that =.=

Well that's it for now.

I really really like Zuko and Toph's relationship, though I dont' want you guys to think it's romantic. it's more like, well best friends actually. maybe a bit sibling-ish. it's hard to describe.

But I will NOT be shipping them, don't worry. (I might write another fanfiction, just for them as a couple) hehehe
