Sorry that took awhile, I had testing all last week and I couldn't type this up until this week. I actually finished it the week before last week but yeah I didn't have time to type it.

Ok, Taang Lover, thanks for the reviews and the suggestions but I already had finished chapter 4 after you gave the suggestions. And I am gonna have Katara and Sokka still in the story but just every once in a while. But thanks anyway!

Alright, heres chapter 4! Enjoy!

Aang and Toph were on Aang's glider, flying away from the two fire nation girls who were trying to capture them. Those girls happened to be Mai and Ty Lee.

Toph was screaming the whole time they were in the air. Her arms were around his neck and second by second, her grip was getting pretty tight, practically choking Aang.

"Hey Toph, can you please not crush my neck!?" Aang yelled to his companion.

"I can't help it! I can't feel anything around me anymore and I feel like I'm gonna fall any second! What's worse is that it feels like we're flying!"

"We are flying." The young Avatar rolled his eyes.

"Oh… right, heh… wait a minute! We forgot Momo! I can't believe you forgot your own pet! What kind of idiot are you, forgetting Momo, that's just not right, that's just cruel, how could yo-"

"Toph," Aang tried to keep calm, "Momo has been next to us the whole time. And could you do me a small favor?"

"What!?"

"Stop screaming!! If you get any louder, I'm probably gonna go deaf!"

"Why should I stop screaming when you keep screaming!?"

"Because you're getting me very irritated which will cause me to scream!"

"Well your screaming that was caused by me screaming caused me to scream!"

"Huh?"

"Exactly!" After Toph had said that, Aang saw something coming towards them. It looked like one of Mai's daggers. And indeed it was.

Luckily, Aang dodged it just in time. The only thing wrong was that Toph was panicking again.

"What was that!? Twinkletoes, what was that!? Oh my God, we're gonna die! I'm too young to die! I'm only twelve! And if I die, who's gonna teach you earthbending cause you still have a lot to learn! Come on, please don't make me die no-"

"Will you please stop!?" Aang felt as if his head was going to burst. "I know what I'm doing!" More daggers were coming at but Aang got away from them all. "Great, they found us."

"Who found us!? What's going on!?" Toph yelled.

"It's just Mai and Ty Lee. I can get way from them easily." Mai sent three more of her daggers to him. Once again, Aang got away from them. But, they were coming back towards him like a boomerang. Luckily, Aang noticed this and maneuvered himself away from them. But what he didn't notice was five more daggers were sent right where he had moved to get away from the other three. They didn't hit him or Toph, but they went straight through his glider, which made holes in it.

"Uh oh." Aang said under his breath. But, because of her enhanced senses, she heard what he said.

"What!? I don't like the sound of that! What's going on!?"

"Toph, please don't be mad! Please, please, please don't be mad! I'm really sorry!" They were both falling to the ground at a high speed. Aang lost his hold on his glider and it went flying off in a different direction. Toph was screaming so loud and was holding onto Aang for her life.

"If we don't die, I'm gonna kill you!" Toph screamed to Aang. They hit the ground but not too hard because Aang airbended them to slow down a little bit. They were rolling down a hill that they landed on and finally came to a stop at the bottom. Toph landed on top of Aang and kept on screaming while clutching her head. Once she realized that they were on the ground and alive, she stopped with her ear piercing screams. She also realized that she was on top of Aang and quickly got off of him, blushing lightly. Something was wrong. Aang hadn't said anything since they fell.

"Twinkletoes? Are you awake?" Toph crawled over to him and poked his shoulder. "Hello? Are you… dead? Twinkletoes? Can you hear me? Twinkletoes? Aang? Aang!? Please don't be dead! Please!" Toph started to panic. He still hadn't moved. "Aang! Wake up! Please don't die on me! Please!" Suddenly, she felt his vibrations move again. He opened his grey eyes to see Toph's face over him.

"Did you just call me… Aang?" Ignoring his comment, Toph threw her arms around the airbender who just sat there, dumbstruck.

"Aang! I was so scared! I thought you were dead!" Then Toph realized what she was doing and quickly backed let go of him and backed away, blushing a deep red.

"Still surprised that she called him by his name and hugged him, Aang spoke again. "You called me Aang, not Twinkletoes. And you hugged me. Who are you and what have you done with Toph!?"

"I'm Toph, you dunderhead. I just got… worried. That's all." She bit her lip. Why did she hug him? It was like some unknown force made her do that. What's going on? I would never do that. That's not me. Maybe I should just keep my distance. Toph stood up and backed away from Aang.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" he asked.

"How would I know?" She said bluntly, trying not to 'look' at him.

"Oh, right. Sorry. Well, do you have any idea where we are or where camp is? And wait a minute… where's Momo?"

"No, I don't know where we are, I don't know where camp is, and I can't feel Momo's vibrations anywhere nearby." She said.

"Well, I don't think Mai and Ty Lee are anywhere around here, so let's try to find Momo." Aang suggested.

"Fine." Toph said. After that, Aang grabbed her wrist and starting running, calling for his lemur. So much for keeping my distance. Toph thought.

"I don't think we're gonna find Momo anytime soon, Twinkletoes. It's getting late. Maybe we should just make camp here for the night and look for him tomorrow."

Aang sighed. "You're right. I'm just worried about him."

"You don't have to worry. I'm sure Momo's fine. He can take care of himself." Toph told her fellow friend. She gave him a reassuring smile.

"Thanks Toph. Who knew that someone like you can give great advice!" Toph glared at him. "Oh no! I didn't mean it like that!"

"Whatever. Let's just make ca-" Toph stopped talking. She looked up. Small drops of water landed on her face. She held out her hand and felt more drops of water land on her palm.

"Great, it's raining." She said. Aang looked up. He just noticed dark grey clouds floating in the air above them.

"Maybe we should look for some shelter. It looks like it's gonna get pretty bad." Aang exclaimed. Toph crouched down and placed her hand on the ground. The she pointed to the north.

"There's a cave about a mile from her. But it's at the top of a cliff."

"Then we could just use my glid-" Aang stopped in mid-sentence. He barely remembered that he had lost his glider when they fell. "Well, we could climb up." He suggested.

"That'll take too long. Besides, I have a better idea…" Toph said. "Follow me." She grabbed his arm and they ran off.

Katara and Sokka were still flying on Appa to see their dad in the North Pole. Sokka was up in the front, holding Appa's reigns while Katara was sitting on his saddle, staring up into the starry sky.

"I wonder how Aang and Toph are doing." Katara said to her brother. "Hopefully they're not arguing."

"Oh no, they're not arguing, in fact, they're getting married!"

"Sokka, why are you always so sarcastic?" The waterbender said in an irritated tone.

"I thought you'd know by now, sis. That's just me. I'm Sokka, the meat lovin' sarcastic guy!" The water tribe warrior said. Katara rolled her eyes.

"Wait a minute… what if they get into some kind of trouble!? I mean, Aang's still recovering! What if they're hurt! Azula could have come and kidnapped them! They could be in the fire nation right now! Sokka, we have to go ba-"

"KATARA! They're fine! Toph and Aang can handle themselves! Nothings gonna happen! Anyways, it's too late to go back!"

"No it's not! We have to go!"

"No Katara, really, it's too late. We just made it to the North Pole."

"We did? Hurry Sokka! I think I can see dad!" Sokka landed Appa in front of Hakoda. In an instant, Katara jumped down from the bison and ran into the arms of her father.

"Oh dad, I missed you so much." She said, tearing up.

"I've missed you too Katara. Let me have a look at you." Katara let go and stood in front of him.

"My, you have become such a beautiful young woman. You remind me so much of your mother." Katara smiled. Sokka came and joined the reunion. He gave Hakoda a hug.

"Hey, dad." He said.

"Hey, Sokka." Hakoda told his son. They let go and he started talking to them. "Alright, here's the plan. We need to gather up an army of waterbenders and warriors to help us with the fire nation. Katara, Master Pakku told me that you've become a waterbending master, so you and other masters are going to help train other waterbenders."

"Ok!" Katara smiled happily.

"Now, Sokka, I need you to help all the warriors to learn how to handle certain weapons since you've become very good at doing that."

"Great!" Sokka cheered.

"Alright, with your help, we'll be ready to take the fire nation down!"

"Yeah!" Both the siblings said at the same time.

By the time Toph and Aang got to the cliff, it was pouring rain. They even started to hear the loud banging of the thunder.

"Come on! Follow my lead and stay next to me!" Toph yelled through the rain thunder. She slammed her foot to the ground and lifted her arms up and down in the air. Aang followed what she was doing. A large chunk of earth under them lifted up against the cliff and started rising up.

"We're almost to the top! Keep doing this!" she yelled after a minute had passed. Once they reached the top, they quickly ran into the cave, away from the rain. They both tried squeezing the water out of their clothes but after failing to do so, Aang just waterbended it all out.

"It's pretty dark in here. I can barely see!" Aang said.

"I don't really care, since I can't see at all." Toph said matter-of-factly.

"Well I'm gonna try and find some wood to make a fire."

"There's some wood over there." Aang could barely make out where Toph was pointing but still had an idea where it was. He picked the wood up and walked over to Toph and set it down next to her. He sat down and waved his hand and a little fire came out of it. Aang brought the fire next to the wood and it spread all over it. Everything started to get brighter. Finally, Aang could see Toph who sat down next to him.

"Hey, why does it feel warmer? Hold on… did you just firebend!? Since when could you firebend?"

"Well I've been teaching myself a little bit, but not in front of anybody."

"Why? What's so wrong about firebending in front of someone?"

"Well one day, Jeong Jeong, who was against the fire nation, started teaching me how to firebend. But, all he taught me was breathing exercises and I started to get impatient with the fact that that he didn't really teach me how to make fire come out of my hands. So, I kept asking him. Eventually he taught me a little bit. But, I got out of control with it and I burnt Katara. So, I don't want anything like that to happen again until I get in control of it."

"Oh." Toph was just 'staring' at the cave wall in front of her. It looked like she was deep in thought.

"Listen Toph, I'm sorry."

"What? Where did that come from?"

"It's just that, I shouldn't have blamed you for Appa being taken away. I was just being really selfish. I'm really sorry."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks… Aang." Toph had been waiting for him to say that for a long time. She figured that it was time to tell him the truth. She had been thinking about this for a while and she couldn't keep it inside of her any longer.

"Um… there's something I have to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I haven't been telling the truth. My dad never said I was free to travel the world. I ran away. I didn't want to be stuck in the prison any longer. So, I just took the chance of running away. I'm sorry. I always tell you to not run away yet that's what I did."

"Y-you ran away? You lied to us?"

"There's more. Now my parents think that you kidnapped me."

"I can't believe it. But, why? Why did you lie?"

"Because… well, like I said, I told you not to run away from your problems and face them head on. But, I ran away. And if I told you that, you'd probably think I'm weak. Plus, I was worried that if you knew, I wouldn't be able to travel with you guys."

Aang didn't know what to say to that. If she had told them, of course they would still want her to travel with them, but it wouldn't have been the right thing to do. Toph spoke again.

"I just didn't want to be stuck in that prison! Every day, I was always followed around by guards and I was help with pretty much anything and everything, even if I didn't need it. Aang, I hated it there. And my parents even said that I'd be getting even more "protection" right before they told you to leave. Remember when my dad said that? You were there. I couldn't live like that. I needed freedom! So, I snuck out."

Aang still kept silent. What was he supposed to say? He didn't want to say that she did the right thing by leaving because he didn't know if it was the right thing. He didn't want to say that she made a huge mistake either.

"You're not mad, are you? Cause you haven't said a word."

"No, of course not." Aang took a deep breath. "I'm just not sure what to say. I don't know if you did the right thing or not."

"Oh." Toph really didn't expect Aang to say that. But what did she expect? That he would say that she made the perfect choice? "I can still stay with you guys, can't I?"

"Well, of course. But, al least do this. Write a letter to your parents and tell them what's been going on."

"I can't write. I'm blind, remember?"

"Then have someone else write it for you."

"Well, I guess I could do that."

After that, they were both silent. But it wasn't an awkward silence; it was just peaceful and quiet.

A few minutes later, Aang felt something heavy on is shoulder. He looked to see Toph's head resting there with her eyes closed. She must have fallen asleep. He thought. Suddenly, without noticing himself, Aang leaned his head on top of her head. Why did he do it? It was his instinct. And, it felt… nice. It wasn't until now that he realized how pretty Toph was. Why hadn't he noticed it before? Now, it was hard not to see it. Something inside of him made him think differently about her. He didn't know what it was, but he felt that he would find out soon. Aang started to drift off to sleep, thinking about the blind earthbender sitting right next to him.

Aww... I could just imagine that happening. Well anyways I'm a little stuck on chapter 5 but I think I can finish it soon enough! Please review! I'm serious, review. I don't have that many reviews and I would appreciate it if I got suggestions or advice or even a "that was great! update soon!" review. Just review! Please...
