A/N: Last songfic… for tonight. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Okay… So I'm bored tonight. I swear when Yazu Katara gets her butt down here I'll let her help with Elemental Chaos. This fic is just too cute to pass up, and don't deny it. I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender or Beauty and the Beast lyrics. This song is dedicated to Yazu Katara, because she has some obsession with it, since she's starring in the Musical at her school.
Summary: You heard Toph's thought's, and you heard Aang's, now it's time for both thoughts, split. Taang, slight Smellershot and HaruxTy Lee.
Toph walked down the stair way to the door and opened it. Aang breathed out quickly, "You look beautiful, Toph."
She blushed and curtsied, and she felt her mother give her a slight push into Aang's arms. She smiled and kissed her mom on the cheek's, while her dad took pictures of the two.
"Dad, it's not like I'm getting married!" Toph laughed.
"Well… Prom is as close as it is," Mr. Bei Fong replied.
Aang smiled and promised Toph back by 12:00 midnight, and ushered Toph into the limo he had rented. Ty Lee, Haru, Longshot and Smellerbee were waiting for them.
"Smellerbee, are you wearing a dress?" Toph asked.
"What do you think?" Smellerbee asked, slapping her friend playfully.
When they got to the hotel the dance was at every Senior (and a few of they're lower classman dates) were all there. Most of them were milling around, drinking fruit punch and dancing to the frightfully loud music. The three couples sat down at an empty table and Haru went to get them drinks.
"You look smashing, Toph dear," Ty Lee said, "If I wasn't going out with Haru, I would molest you right here."
Toph looked wide-eyed in her direction, forgetting that the contortionist was bi-sexual.
"Not while I'm here," Aang told her, wrapping his nearest arm around the blind girl protectively. A slow song came up, as Haru set down the drinks. Haru took Ty Lee's hand, Longshot took Smellerbee's, and Aang Toph's.
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast
TOPH'S POV:
I recognized the song, blushing. When Aang and I were in preschool, it was movie day when we had met, and this song was playing. When we first kissed, Pop Sensation Katara had just finished singing her rendition of Beauty and the Beast. In fact, this was OUR song. Aang must have been thinking this too, because he pulled me closer in our embrace, and I nuzzled my nose into the white of his tuxedo.
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
AANG'S POV:
This was Pop Sensation Katara's rendition of the classic Disney Song. Our song. The Toph and Aang song. Every time this song played at the dances, at out own little parties for our friends only, people stared at us, waiting to see Toph blush as I led her to the dance floor, or kiss her special spot just under her ear. We had met and become real friends in pre-school, and we had met when the teacher had showed us Beauty and the Beast. Toph had been afraid of the Beast, because his voice sounded mean. That was the first day I had actually found out that she was blind. Over the years Toph had learned to cope with her other four senses, and I had watched her, catching her if she ever fell.
I had put this song on my iPod when I had gotten one, and we shared the ear phones every time I came over to her house, or she came over to mine, just to listen to it.
Our song.
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
TOPH'S POV:
I wasn't sure who was the Beast or who was the Beauty in our case. I couldn't see Aang, and I was just fine with that. Beauty is only skin deep, and his personality was beautiful to me. I wasn't sure that I was beautiful, but every time I asked Aang what I looked like, he would answer with a You are beautiful, Toph.
I was pretty scary to most of the other kids when we were younger. It was because I was confident, because I was blind. Aang saw past that, and that's why we were friends, why we were lovers, now. Ty Lee, Haru, Jet, Mai, Smellerbee and Longshot had come later, when we were middle school, and Aang convinced them I wasn't as beastly once you got to know me.
I thanked him for that.
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast…
The song ended, and there on the dance floor, Aang and Toph kissed each other, remembering their past together, and happily waiting for what their future would bring them.
A/N: Wow… who knew I could be such a romantic… I've been writing too much and mother is worrying. WRITER'S CRAMP! WRITER'S CRAMP! Best I go do something else. See you!
