Ok, I'm really sorry for not continuing in awhile. At first I got a writers block and after that I just got lazy. And trust me, I felt really guilty for it. I'll try not to do that anymore. I actually finished Thursday night but I didn't have much time to type it all. So, once again, I am very sorry.

Disclaimer: Once again, I don't own Avatar, cause if I did, there would be a whole bunch of Taang and Zutara.

Throughout the day all Aang and Toph wanted to do was avoid each other. Lately, they haven't gotten along well and every conversation they had usually ended up in an argument. It had been like that for a while. Either they wouldn't talk at all or they'd be screaming their heads off.

Toph was out training in a rocky area near their campsite while Aang was out by a river practicing his waterbending.

"Boy, does it feel great to be away from Twinkletoes." Toph said to herself. She was always content when she was training. For one thing, she could be by herself for awhile and it always relieves her stresses. And her stresses right now happened to be a certain airbender whom everybody seems to call, Aang. Except for the people who don't really know him. They just call him "Avatar". Toph was always irritated with him lately. She didn't know why though. Maybe it was because they were complete opposites. Although sometimes he was fun to be around, but that was only occasionally. In fact, most of the time he was fun to be around. Why was she so mad at him in the first place? He never really did anything wrong.

"I was being kinda harsh towards him lately." She said. "Maybe I should just apologize. That way we won't always be at each others throats anymore." Toph stopped training and started heading back to the campsite to find Aang.

"Finally! I don't have to deal with Toph anymore!" Aang said. Even though he had already mastered waterbending, Katara wanted him to keep training, just incase. Plus, waterbending was always relaxing. Whenever he was practicing with earthbending with Toph, it always tired him out, but when he practiced his earthbending with Katara, he could just relax and just have fun. Although sometimes Toph was fun to be around. She is pretty fun. Especially when she teases Sokka. Aang always got a laugh out of that. But, lately, for some strange reason, they were always arguing and he couldn't seem to figure out why. Any conversation between them always ended up in a fight.

"Maybe it's my fault." he said to himself. "I have been starting it sometimes. I should go apologize to her. Then we could actually start acting like friends again." With that, Aang walked out of the three feet deep pond he was practicing in and put his shirt back on. After that, he set off to apologize to his fellow blind friend.

When he got to the campsite, his eyes widened in shock. Everything was practically turned upside down. All their stuff was everywhere. He saw Momo flying around, looking at everything every thing in shock too. And there, in the middle of it all, stood the greatest earthbender herself, Toph Beifong.

"Toph! What did you do!?" Aang yelled.

"Why do you always blame me for everything!? I barely came here right now!"

"Oh and I suppose it magically got like this all by itself."

"How would I know!? Like I said, I barely got here right now! How come I'm always the first person you always have to blame anyway!?"

"I don't always blame you for everything! Name one time I blamed you for something that wasn't your fault!"

"Easily. Back in the desert. You blamed me for Appa being taken away. And you never even apologized for that!" she said, crossing her arms with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"Well you could have just saved him instead of just thinking about yourself!"

"I wanted to save Appa! I really did! And I even tried to but the library was sinking and if I had just forgot about it and saved Appa, you, Katara, and Sokka would have died in there! What would you rather have? Appa being taken away or your lives taken away where you could never even see Appa again!!" Toph looked raged and sad at the same time. Every word that she had kept inside of her finally came out. She had never wanted to say it, but that's what it cam to.

Aang just stood there, speechless. Toph had made a huge point and he felt very guilty. He was the one that had been thinking about himself.

"You know what!? I was going to apologize to you for arguing all the time but you don't even deserve it!" After that, Toph didn't say a word. She started picking up things around the campsite and put them back where they belonged. Neither of them still had any idea what happened but it didn't matter at that time. Everything around them was in complete silence. The only sound was the leaves from the tree's blowing in the wind around them.

Aang just stood there, staring at Toph. He had just made a huge mistake and hurt her. When he looked at her, he could see that she was on the verge of tears, but was trying to hold them back. He had never seen Toph like this. Aang felt so low that he felt as if he were sinking into the ground. I am such an idiot! he thought. Why did he blame her for everything in the first place? He wanted to tell her how sorry he was but he couldn't bring himself to say it. It felt like someone had glued his mouth shut, which made everything worse because he knew Toph expected an apology.

After Toph did her part of cleaning, she turned towards Aang, "I'm going for a walk. Don't bother following me." She said with nerve in her voice.

"Wait a second!" Aang called but before he could continue, Toph spoke again.

"Just. . .don't talk to me. Whatever you have to say, just save it for someone who cares." Toph walked out of their campsite and into the nearby forest. Aang mentally slapped himself. Everything had been his fault and there was nothing that he could do to make it better. Aang sat down on the ground and buried his face in his hands. Momo flew down and landed on his shoulder.

"Momo, I really messed up this time didn't I?" The airbender asked his lemur. Momo just stared at him with a blank look placed on his face. "I guess Toph is right, I am an airhead." Then the lemur started looking around everywhere as if he had heard something.

"What is it, Momo?" Aang asked. The lemur just continued looking around and jumped away and ducked like he felt that something was coming.

And something did come.

Three sharp daggers were coming straight towards Aang. But he was fast enough to realize it and dodged it. The daggers missed him and hit the tree behind. Then something jumped down from a nearby tree. And there was only one person that dressed in darkly designed fire nation clothing with deadly daggers in their hand. Mai.

Toph had been sitting by a river, her mind filled with her thoughts. I can't believe it. Everything that I wanted to say to him for a long time just all came out and he still didn't apologize. How can he be such a jerk? He used to be nice. I guess people change. But. . .are we still friends? I still want to be. He was the first person who really understood me. Toph buried her face in her hands. I don't know what to do. He probably hates me anyway. I mean, what's there to like about me? I'm nothing special.

'Oh, please! Weren't you the one who said you're the greatest earthbender in the world? For God's sake, you can bend metal! You're the only person in the world who can! And if that's not special then nothing is!' It was Toph's inner conscience. It had made a point. Toph was an amazing person and nothing could stop her from a challenge.

"Well, I guess I am a pretty unique person. I have my own way of seeing and I can kick fire nation butt anytime!"

'Now that's the spirit!'

"Thanks inner conscience." Toph said. She stood up. "I guess I better get back to camp." She started walking back but stopped when she felt vibrations behind her. They seemed familiar. It wasn't Aang. Then Toph realized who it was.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be off taking over the world with that psychopath you call a princess?" Toph called to her follower, Ty Lee.

Ignoring Toph's comment, Ty Lee spoke, "You're weird, talking to yourself like that." She ran towards Toph and tried to jab her to block her chi. Toph blocked her with a wave of her hand, forming a rock wall in front of her to shield herself.

"You know, you're never gonna get me, so you might as well stop trying." Toph told her. Ty Lee ignored her and continued sending jabs at her. Toph kept blocking her though. The same thing was going on for awhile and Ty Lee couldn't get to her. Toph was just getting very bored.

"Is this all you do? Try to block people's chi? What a great accomplishment in life!" She said in a sarcastic tone. "Why are you here anyway?"

"Princess Azula sent us to capture the Avatar and his friends!"

"Us? Oh, great there are more of you!" Suddenly, Toph felt more vibrations coming towards them. One of them felt light and airy and in an instant, Toph knew it was Aang. The other vibrations were coming towards Toph. Something sharp and thin was sent straight to her. Toph put up another rock wall behind her to block it. It had been Mai's daggers that were aimed at her. Now, Toph to fight two people. Someone in front of her and someone behind her.

"Well, at least now it's getting interesting." Toph told herself.

"Toph!" It was Aang. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine Twinkletoes." Toph still didn't forget her anger towards him. Then she spoke to the two fire nation girls, "And why are you two fighting me!? I thought he was the one you guys wanted!"

"We're taking you down first." Mai said in her usual depressing voice. "That way we won't have to deal with you anymore."

"You actually think you can take me down? Ok, that's funny. Apparently you haven't seen me fight before." Toph told them.

"Toph, you need help?" There goes Aang again.

"No! I can handle this myself!" With that, in an instant, Toph waved her hand up towards Ty Lee and sent rock spikes out of the ground, into the air, straight into her, sending her falling into the shallow river by them. Then, Toph turned to Mai who was behind her. Mai threw daggers at her which missed her by around three feet.

"What kind of aim is that?" Toph was surprised that someone like Mai, who has probably doing that for years, missed by that far. But, Toph heard something coming from behind.

"They're coming back!" Aang called to Toph. She put up another rock wall in the back of her to shield herself. Then Toph turned back to Mai and stomped her foot and shot her arms up, making the earth under Mai's feet shoot up, sending her flying to a nearby tree.

"Wow! Who knew a goth girl could fly?" Toph yelled to Mai.

"Toph, we need to get away from here!" Aang said.

"I'm not running away! Plus, if we did, they'd just catch up to us!"

"Which is why we're going to fly!" Aang held up his staff and airbended it to his glider.

"Ok, you've got to be kidding me! There is no way that I'm flying!"

"Just trust me! I won't let anything happen to you. I'm master airbender, remember? I know what I'm doing!"

Toph hesitated. She really wasn't happy with the fact of flying. Aang held out his hand.

"C'mon! Hurry, before they try to get us again!"

Toph slowly walked over to Aang. She almost took his hand but pulled it back. "I can't." She said softly.

"Just. . .trust me." Aang said in a comforting voice. Toph hesitated again but slowly took his hand. They climbed on with Toph on top, her arms wrapped around his neck and took off flying away.
