"Hey Beifong, go out with me. Go out with me? Hey you, go out with me!" Bumi threw his hands up in the air with a yell and flopped onto his bed. "Why are girls so hard?"

"We're not hard kid, you just don't know how to talk to 'Beifong'."

Bumi shot up to see Toph standing in the doorway of his room. "Uh, aunt Toph, I didn't see you there."

"Clearly. So, you have the hots for my daughter huh?" She couldn't see the blush on his face, but she could feel his heart racing. "Pfft, she will eat you alive."

"Gee, thanks. Come on, help me out aunt Toph. Do you really want Tenzin as a son in law. Or would you prefer a fun, loveable guy like me?"

"Yeah? A fun loveable guy like you? I guess it couldn't hurt. At least your kids will be a lot more fun than if they were Tenzin's. Alright, you got yourself a deal."

Toph came into the room and pulled him off the bed. "Stand up straight. Your posture is weak. My daughter likes strong men that can take care of themselves. "

"Hey! I'm strong." Bumi flexed his muscles, in an impressive show that didn't once faze Toph. "And I can take care of myself."

"Bumi, you got your hand stuck in a jar just last week."

The wild man frowned. "Okay, so I've got muscle going for me. So how should I ask her out?"

"You don't. She asks you… well not so much ask, as tells you you're going on a date."

"Wait, what?"

"Trust me Bumi. This will work."


Bumi found Lin walking in the courtyard, with Tenzin approaching quickly. Crap, he's about to make his move. I've got to act now. Quickly marching towards her, Bumi wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her. She tried to push away but he just tightened his grip on her, and forced his tongue into her mouth. He was practically trying to show her what he could offer her, with a kiss. He inwardly sighed in relief when she relaxed and returned the kiss.

Breaking apart gasping, Bumi looked down at her with a hopeful smile. "Okay. Tomorrow night at seven, at Zuko's statue."

Bumi let out a whoop and ran off to tell Toph the great news.

"Lin! What is the meaning of this?!"

The metalbender turned to face Tenzin and shrugged. "He wanted to go out on a date."
