(At Camp)
I was unsure of what Aang wanted to see. It's not like I can see. But I hear and feel better than anyone else. And I couldn't really sense what Aang wanted to do. I thought it would of been better if I left it as a suprise. I felt the ground to tell where Aang was. I could tell that he was over by Katara talking. Now about that kiss...I knew he forgave me, and I knew that he DID like me. And also that I was starting to like more than a friend. But I couldn't help to notice that maybe he could of liked Katara more than a friend too. Nah! I felt around to find Katara and I knew that she had placed her hand on his shoulder. If he did like her then he wouldn't have kissed me. But it WAS still possible. Or was I just being jealous! The Bind Bandit never gets jealous! And besides I think I would of known that he like Katara more than a friend. But he chose me over Sugar Queen. But what if she liked HIM. I shouldn't even be thinking about this! Well guess what Sugar Queen he's mine!
I was still thinking about how there could of been a relationship with him and Katara when I felt Aang comming toward me. Okay Toph nows your chance! Just tell him how you feel and get it over with!
"Hey Toph. Man that was some good fruit! So anyways why are you alone?" Aang asked,
"I uh- I wanted to tell you- I-" I choked to say it but I just couldn't find the words
"Hey, I remembered something!" Aang said,
It's okay. Not like I had to tell him right now. When the time was right then I would tell him.
"Toph do you want to learn how to swim?" Aang asked as he sat down pulling me aside him,
"I dont know...I cant feel anything in the water. I cant tell If something is coming toward me, I cant tell if Your next to me or not."
"Can you tell if I'm next to you now?" he said holding me closer to him,
I blushed a dark red. I couldn't act like this! And I dont want to act like this either! I was supposed to be tough and stiff and it was supposed to be that way. But something about Aang wanted for me to be near him and I just couldn't say no to something I wanted.
"But I'm blind can't you understand?" I said standing up, "I cant see anything or feel anything."
Aang looked confused and he stood up himself. He held my hands in his.
"Do you trust me?" he said,
"Yes. I do."
"Toph, you think you cant swim. You can swim. And you will learn how to. You keep letting fear lead you to controlling you emotions. If you can trust me, then you'll learn."
"You think so?"
"Nope. I KNOW so."
I smiled and I could tell he was smiling too.
"And besides, you're teaching me earthbending, the least I can do is teach you how to swim."
"That's not the only thing you taught me, Aang."
He stopped smiling and was curious.
"What else am I teaching you?"
"Your teaching me how it is to have a real friend. And how to be friend to."
I know with this comment Aang would be blushing since we were still holding hands.
Wait, we were STILL holding hands? Woah! He must really like me! I smiled inside and I couldn't help but feel victorious against Sugar Queen.
"So uh..Yea!" Aang said quickly letting go of my hand, I was enjoying his cute embarrasment, "We can start tommorow, If you want."
"Okay. Sure. Whenever! That's good for me." I said trying so hard not to laugh,
So Aang wanted to see if I would let to learn how to swim. But I still had my doubts. I couldn't see anything. Literally. But I trusted Aang. Trusted him enough to know that he will teach me.
Aang turned his head the other way and looked at the sun. Even thought I couldn't see the sun, I could fell its rays.
"I can't belive its already the sunset." Aang said turning his head toward Katara and Sokka, "Looks like we better start setting up for sleep. We're going on Appa at dawn.
"Sure." Even thought I wasn't going to do anything. I was pretty lazy and I didn't blame Katara for saying so. But it didn't mean I always had to. So the next day I would have Aang all to myself. In Earthbending teaching and swimming learning. Life was good. Especially now.
