Chapter 5: The Roads Traveled…

About a half hour later, the gang re-united on the boarder of the town. They knew what they had to do. They had to head to the Comet Nation's capital to confront Xiang. This mission would be dangerous, seeing that it was their small group against a large army, made up of thousands of soldiers. But then again, when has that ever stopped them.

"But how are we going to stop Xiang?" Asked Aang.

"I may have an idea. We'll talk about it on our way there." Replied Shen.

The gang started walking, but before they could go too far, Sokka stopped in his tracks.

"Hey… where's Toph?" Sokka asked.

"Right here with my new boyfriend…"

The gang turned to see Toph walking hand-in-hand with The Duke, who was slightly nervous because Toph threatened to beat him up if he screwed up anything. But he quickly gained his cool when he remembered Toph threatening to crush him with a rock if he looked nervous.

"Toph? Your dating…. The Duke?" Katara asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, you have a problem with that?" Asked Toph.

"So you two decided to start dating while we were in the middle of a mission?" Asked Shen.

"So? Aang was going to ask Katara out…"

Shen cut Toph off. "That was completely different! You guys were relaxing…"

"And we were too…"

"For what, 2 hours?"

"A lot can happen in a few hours."

Shen groaned. "Forget it. We have to keep moving."

Shen started walking, with Aang close behind. Katara was about to follow them, but looked over at Sokka, who seemed to be controlling himself from cracking up. Toph noticed this too.

"What's so funny, meathead?"

Sokka couldn't hold it in. He cracked up hysterically for about a minute. Toph's eyebrow raised in annoyance. Eventually, Sokka calmed down.

"Toph? Dating? Oh man… Oh, good one Toph! Good one!"

"I'm serious, meathead!" Toph shouted.

"Ha! Yeah right."

Toph was angry. "You want proof? I'll show you proof!"

Toph grabbed the Duke and pulled him in for a kiss. The Duke's eyes widened. Katara, who was completely shocked from this sight, felt sick, and ran off to follow Aang and Shen. Iroh, Hakoda, Piando, Zuko and Mai quickly followed. Suki looked at this sight and smiled.

"She's got spunk. Good for her. Guys like that. Maybe that's why Sokka is dating me."

Yue looked at Suki, who was smirking back at her. Yue got angry and blew out air in jealously. She then followed the rest of the gang that left.

"That's right, girlfriend. Walk away!" Suki shouted triumphantly.

Sokka chuckled. "Ok, Ok. I believe you now. You can stop."

But Toph didn't stop. She continued to make out with the Duke.

"Ok Toph. I get it."

Toph smirked on the side of her face that wasn't facing Sokka.

"Ok! I get it! Enough! You're grossing me out!"

Toph stopped kissing the Duke and smiled at Sokka.

"Aww, what's the matter? You never seen someone kiss passionately before? Maybe you aren't that good of a kisser after all."

Sokka was starting to steam, but Suki chuckled and stopped Sokka.

"Alright, Alright. Let them be. Come on, guys. We have to follow them."

Sokka sighed and he and Suki followed the rest of the group. Toph smiled at the Duke.

"Good job. He acted just like I wanted him to."

"But he was grossed out…"

"That's not what his heartbeat told me…" Toph replied in a sing-song voice as she followed the rest of the group.

Teo and Haru walked up to the Duke.

"You want to explain…"

The Duke put his hand up. "I don't want to talk about it…"

Meanwhile, Shen and Aang had covered a lot of ground. Aang looked towards Shen.

"So… what's the plan for taking Xiang down?"

They reached the top of a small hill and looked out towards it.

"You Remember how to spirit bend?"
