A/N- I'm sorry it took me so long to write this. I had a little writers block on this one.

Enjoy!

"Twinkle Toes, we've been traveling for hours, can we please take a break?" Toph pleaded from behind Aang.

Aang looked back at her. She was holding onto a nearby tree, gasping for air. He sighed.

"Alright, but we should be quick. We have to get a little closer by nightfall," he told her.

She nodded before letting go of the branch, falling face first into the dirt.

He laughed when he noticed that she was now lying in an imprint of herself in the ground.

She looked up sharply when he started laughing. "What's so funny Twinkle Toes?"

"You have and imprint of yourself in the dirt," he said.

She laughed a little and got up. She didn't even bother to wipe the dirt off of her clothes.

"Don't you want to wipe that dirt off?" Aang asked her.

"You call it dirt, I call it a healthy coating of Earth," she tells him.

He shrugs and they start walking again. What they didn't know was that there was another pair of eyes watching them from a nearby tree.

&&&&&&

Katara kept running as the alarms sounded from behind her. She had broken out of the cell, regretfully leaving Zuko behind.

Why'd this place have to be like a maze?

She was running for so long, she didn't know how much longer she could keep this up.

Then someone with a blue mask jumped in front of her. She jumped backwards in surprise as the person pulled out two swords.

"Wh-who are you?" she asked.

The person said nothing, only motioned her to follow them. She did so, wondering if this person was going to lead her to her death.

After following the person for a while, they reached the gates of the prison. Her eyes widened in shock at the size.

But they weren't in the clear yet. The guards saw them and all charged. The person took out the swords and used them to block the stunning bullets that were shot at them.

Katara looked around for a source of water. She saw a hose faucet. She reached her arm out and Water bended the water out of it. The guards backed away slightly in fear of her bending. She gathered as much as she could up before shooting it at the guards in a stream of water.

Loosing their footing, the guards were pushed back. She concentrated and froze them in place.

As the person held off the guards with the swords, Katara gathered more water from the faucet and splashed it onto the chain link fence. She froze that too and broke it with a ball of water.

She ran through the hole as the other person followed at her heals. They ran as fast as they could, thankful that this prison got barely any funds to hire people.

Toph and Aang reached the next city by sun down. The last rays of the day were hitting the horizon, making it glow a bright red. As Aang walked down the side walk next to Toph, he couldn't help but notice they were getting strange looks. Something told him this town didn't get many visitors.

Toph noticed this too. "Twinkle Toes, I think we should skip this town," she whispered to him.

"Yeah, I don't like it here either," he said.

There weren't many people on the sidewalk, so they stuck out a lot.

A car pulled up next to them as the sun disappeared beyond the horizon. Aang started to get nervous as the window rolled down.

"Hey kids. I'd get out of here if I were you," the person in the car said.

"Why?" Aang asked.

But before he got his answer, the car speed off away from them.

"What was that about Twinkle Toes?" Toph asked.

"I don't know Toph," Aang said as he placed a hand on her shoulder. He was really nervous, and Toph could tell just by his hand on her shoulder.

Toph then realized that they were the only ones out. Aang realized this too, and he looked around frantically. He couldn't believe he hadn't noticed how run-down this neighbor hood was. There weren't any lights on either, so it made it hard for him to see.

Toph was starting to figure that Aang couldn't see very well because he kept bumping into her. She moved his hand off of her shoulder and took it in her hand. She pulled on it, motioning him to follow her lead.

She stopped walking when she felt more vibrations than just her own and Aang's.

"Hey kids, this is our place. We own this town, and you're on our turf," a voice said from behind them.

The two turned around. Aang could just make out six thugs advancing on them. They turned around, only to run into three more.

Aang and Toph backed up a little bit.

"What do we do Toph?" Aang asked her quietly.

"Umm… wing it?" she suggested.

Aang turned his attention back to the thugs. He noticed that they weren't looking at him, but rather at Toph. His eyes widened. Oh no…

All of them were in front of the two now. Even though she was blind, Toph knew what was going on. Aang held onto Toph's hand harder. She knew what he was silently telling her. I'll help you out.

They let go of each other's hands and dropped into fighting stances.

&&&&&&

Sokka had been looking around for his sister for hours. "Where could one girl go?" he asked himself out loud.

"Let me guess, your girlfriend ran off on you?" asked a girl behind him.

"Aahh!" he yelled. He turned around to see a girl wearing a green fighting outfit and her face was painted white. He relaxed a little bit.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"A loner. Well, I am now, because all my friends don't believe in rights for benders while I do," she told him.

"Really?" he said surprised. "My sister's a bender, that's who I'm looking for."

She held out her hand to him. "I'm Suki."

He shook her hand. "I'm Sokka."

&&&&&&

Toph bended a rock at the thugs in front of her, but they still didn't go away. Aang was trying to help her by using his Air bending, but nothing was working, the thugs just kept at it.

Aang was so worried he wouldn't be able to help her. He could tell the thugs were getting tired of fighting them. All of a sudden, something made contact with the back of his head, sending him to the ground.

Toph screamed as all the thugs advanced on her. Aang could feel something similar to anger rising. He could also feel some sort of super power in him breaking free of its chain inside him. He felt himself rise above the ground, but could do nothing about it.

Toph screamed again when she couldn't find Aang's vibrations. She was so scared. Though she noticed that the thugs were no longer interested in her, they were backing away from something. They ran in the opposite direction, and she was curious as to what they were running from. She didn't feel any vibrations from anything, though she could feel the winds around her picking up speed, which scared her.

"AANG!" she cried out. "Aang! Where are you?!"

She walked around with her arms spread out in front of her. Where is he?

Her hand made contact with something. She grabbed onto it. It felt like Aang's foot.

"Aang?" she asked surprised.

The winds around her picked up some more speed.

"Aang! What's going on?! What are you doing?!" she cried to him.

But he couldn't seem to hear her. She used her strength to pull him down on the ground. She hugged him.

"Please Aang! Stop whatever you're doing! Please!"

The wind speed started to die down and Aang started to come back to reality.

"T-Toph?" he asked weakly.

Toph relaxed. "Aang, what happened?"

"I don't know Toph. I really don't know," he said as he hugged her back.

A/N- What do you think? I don't think it was as good as my others, so please tell me what you think. Please review!

Thanks for reading!
