Toph/Tylee
"Queen Toph? There are some matters I would like to go over you with about the ferry, there seems to be counterfeiting passports..." " I'll be there in a minute, treasurer Haru, thank you. Ty Lee, please excuse me." Earth Queen Toph stood up, 25 years old, 4'10, and went to go have a meeting with Haru, her appointed treasurer, and his son, Bumi, named after the past King, who had died at 115. Quite an old age. The Dai Li no longer existed, and policemen were only trusted friends of Toph's.
Ty Lee smiled lovingly at her wife, who she had met first on the last day of the war. She remebered the first time they started to get to know each other...
Katara had dragged Toph out of bed for a girl's day out. Ty Lee didn't need much convincing to get her to come, but they had all thought it was a hopeless cause to get Mai, two months pregnant, to come. She had, in fact, finally broken when she suddenly fell sick, throwing up in the toilet. Katara, concerned, asked if she need anything, but Mai said no, puke, just send in my nurse if you see her. Go ahead without me. After they made sure Mai was taken care of, the three cheerfully left for the finest spa in the upper ring of Bai Seng Sai, where king Bumi ordered that they be let in free.
While the Katara and Toph sighed contentedly in the sauna, Ty Lee was full of maidenly modesty about removing her clothes. As Ty Lee blushed, Toph said,"Well, hell I'm blind anyway, and Katara here has as much Aang as she can handle"(Katara blushed)"and it's not like we're going to molest you!" By now Toph had made both Ty Lee and Katara blush bright pink, and as Ty Lee nervously began to remove her robe, Toph rolled her eyes and tossed hers of casually. Ty Lee turned away, face so red with embarrassment that she thought it would pop. Katara carefully took hers off and folded it next to her. Seeing that Ty Lee was dreadfully bashful, Katara bended the steam slightly to create a thicker mist, so she wouldn't feel like she was pointlessly newd in an open room.
But Ty Lee shook her head and just sat down, looking ashamed. " Oh, that's alright Ty Lee!" Said Katara sympathetically. " You shouldn't do anything you aren't comfortable with!" In shock, she realzied that tears were going down the girls cheeks. Before she could do anything, Toph hopped up and said, "We should go get our feet scrubbed! It's too hot in here." Katara realized that Ty Lee thought that Toph didn't notice her tears, and really just meant that. Katara also realized that if she herself had said anything, it would have been even more embarrassing for Ty lee. She silently cheered Toph on. Nicely done!
Ty Lee immidieatly agreed. Then Katara remembered that Toph HATED feet scrubs, but that it was one of the only activities that didn't involve clothing removal. Even a mudbath was a bad option. When they got there, Toph was sweating a bit. She was nervous about them touching her feet. Katara was afraid that Ty lee would see Toph's face full of pain. Ty Lee was blissfully ignorant of thier worry, and looking forward to this. Ty Lee smiled as the woman cleaned her feet. Katara was a little less relaxed, until she saw that none of the women would go near Toph- They quite remembered her. Satisfied with the way this had worked out, Toph just leaned back in the chair and smirked, making sure her feet were in tip top condition of dirt, and layed them out purposefully high, daring one of the women to try thier hand at scrubbing the calloused, never washed feet. Noone challenged her.
An hour or two later, the three girls were laughing, walking from the spa home. Suddenly, Toph's smile disappeared. She stopped in the middle of the road. Katara had been laughing so hard she could barely walk, when she realized Toph had gone whiter than usual. "Toph! What's wrong?" Toph repied quietly," It's THOSE girls..." Ty Lee had never heard the story of the three girls who had made fun of Toph for no reason, but knew from her tone that whoever THOSE girls were, they weren't friends. On the same bridge as last time, those three, Jow, Kili, and Fray, walked next to Toph and Katara. Ty lee had disappeared. Jow snarled," I could have King Bumi execute you for what you did! You'll be SO sorry!" Toph snorted, saying," Yeah right, bitch! I could metalbend your ass into next week!" The three girls laughed at her profanity, thinking, Yeah! i'm sure some little thirteen year old girl will metal bend us! "Bring it on!" Cried Kili, shaking her butt. That scared katara. Not the girls, hell no, but she knew that if Toph lifted a finger against those girls they could be dead.
Katara, a master waterbender, had been neck on neck with Toph."Toph, keep your cool, don't lose it..." Toph replied,"Don't worry! A couple bruises, some scrapes, I know how o go easy on nonbenders! Even wimpy nonbenders!" Before Katara could reply, Toph punched the ground, and raised the bridge.She moved the entire bridge through the air, while the rich girls srcreamed their hearts out. Toph landed right next to a huge block of conveiniantly placed metal. "Oh yeah.." Whispered Toph. She stood facing the girls, the metal directly to her left, when she suddenly reached over and punched a dent into the metal. Toph grinned as she felt the girl's hearts skip a beat.She tore a huge chunk out and before they knew what was happening, she had metalbended thier feet to the ground. Fray and Kili's, anyway. She would teach thier leader a lesson.
Jow was crying from fear. This little girl is the greatest earthbender in the world? She thought.
Ty Lee watched the whole thing from under the bridge. She had expected it would be a group fight, and so she had wanted a surprise attck. She was the one surprised, however, when the bridge began to land. She could see that Toph didn't need or want help. She wondered how a blind person could be so confident in her movements? She was incredibly impressed. And when Toph bgan metalbending, the rich girls weren't the only ones who were shellshocked.
Toph metalbended gloves onto her nad, and punched them together with a loud clanking sound, as she began advancing toward Jow."No, please! i'm too young to die!"
Toph, after a moment, actually let up. She unbended the girl's feet. They started to just run, when Toph's voice boomed out,'' EXCUSE ME!" The girls immidiately stopped and turned toward her."If I EVER! Catch you hurting someone again, I WON'T BACK DOWN!" Toph roared. The girls nervously nodded, and turned around. Ty Lee wasn't going to just let them go. She jumped up and vaulted to the top of the bridge, and jumped gracefully all the way down. She cartwheeled over, and poked all the girls in key places on their legs, back, and stomach, keeping them uable to move for a few hours. Katara was glad that nobody had seriously gotten hurt. Ty lee's fighting style had very much interested Toph. She walked over to Ty lee, and said," You'll have to teach me that some day!" And punched her hard on the arm."I think we're going to be good friends!" Toph said, and smiled.
Looking back on the old days was a treat for Ty Lee, because Toph was often gone in the present. But Toph had promised that they would spend the rest of that day together after she got back. Ty Lee dreamily awaited her wife's return, as she stirred her love's tea.
