"Sokka you did WHAT?"

"Well it wasn't me kissing her as much as it was her kissing me…."

"Still Sokka you can't just kiss her! She's getting married in less than an hour!"

"Please, I know it was dumb, don't pull a Katara on me okay?"

"How did Toph take it?"

"Not so great, she threw a vase at me afterwards"

"But wait, I thought you said that she was the one who kissed you…"

"She's a girl…Girls never make sense…"

…

Aang looked up from the small basin of water that he was using to wash off his face and to Sokka who had once again took to pacing around in a nervous panic. This time the water tribe boy had even more on his mind; not only was his best friend getting married but now said friend had taken the liberty of mixing up his emotions with a kiss. A few of his fingers traveled to his lips and he frowned.

"Maybe you should go talk to her" Aang tried. He pulled the soaked wash cloth from the washbasin and rubbed his face before placing back on the table. "Maybe she's calmer now."

Before Sokka could give an excuse on why that action would probably lead him to catastrophic injury a knock was heard upon the door. The calm voice of Katara was heard on the other side.

"Are you two decent?"

"Yeah, come on in" Aang confirmed turning to the girl who made her way into the room. Because of the occasion she was dressed elaborately, a set of soft green robes covered her body perfectly, draping themselves around each and every curve and stopping at the floor. The bender's hair was tied up in an elaborate style, some sort of knot that Sokka doubted she could have done on her own. It looked as if she had already finished her makeup as well; pale hues had been lightly brushed over her face accenting her robes. Katara smiled softly as she walked in but the smile swiftly disappeared as she noticed her companions' lack of formal attire.

"Are you going to get dressed?" She questioned, glancing back and forth between the two. Aang grinned and chuckled nervously earning a small smile from his belle. She tossed a set of dress clothes to both boys. "I was wondering why these were still in the main room. Toph's mother brought us outfits you know, you should probably wear them."

"Uhhh thanks" Aang held up his garments in a deep emerald color. Accents of the Earth Kingdom's browns and yellows were included completing the outfit. The air bender looked to Sokka's and noticed it matched his own clothes almost perfectly.

"You guys get dressed; I'm going to go back to Toph. Poor girl's a mess right now"

Sokka looked up from the bundle in his hands. "You were with Toph?" Katara nodded and frowned.

"Yeah, when I got there it looked like she had been tossing everything she could get her hands on. She wouldn't tell me what was wrong though."

Sokka couldn't avoid the sideways glare that he was receiving from Aang at the moment despite trying desperately. "Maybe I should go talk to her"

"No way, you need to get dressed." Katara scolded "That and you'll probably make her more upset than before." Sokka remembered the warning that she had given to him before. He wasn't to mess this up….

Too late…

"That may not be possible" Aang muttered in response to Katara. Now it was Sokka's turn to cast a glare. The young air bender took that as cue to gather his things and take Katara softly by the arm. "Uhhh how about we go check out the courtyard and give Sokka a chance to change." Katara couldn't help but to blush at the contact and nodded.

"But afterward you're getting dressed." She said offhandedly. Aang nodded and lead the girl out the door and into the hallway. Sokka stared at the door until the footsteps of the two slowly died away. He sighed lightly and looked down at the clothes that he had been issued. Without a second thought he dropped it in front of him and walked out of the room.

The debate whether or not to travel back to Toph's room was a rather daunting task. He managed to circle the house four times before finally deciding that this issue could not go resolved. That and he really didn't want perhaps their last encounter to include him rushing away from a potentially violent earth bender tossing breakable items at him. He shuddered and knocked on the wooden entrance.

"Toph?"

Silence.

Toph? You there? It's Sokka."

Nothing.

Sokka groaned and knocked once more. "I think we need to talk Toph, can I come in?"

With no response he took the initiative and opened the door, peering into the room once more. He was met with a familiar sight, the same room but now quite a bit messier. The only thing missing was the small girl on the bed. The bride.

"Toph?"

He rushed around the Bei Fong estate in a panic (He seemed to be panicking more and more now) praying that she had not already been whisked away for the ceremony. He just needed to speak with Toph for a few minutes, just to straighten out what happened. He continued to rush about the outside campus in a desperate search.

"Stupid stupid stupid! Get off shoes!"

Sokka paused and looked around. The small voice of an obviously angry girl could be heard and was coming from a nearby location. Apparently small bushes could talk…And complain about their shoes. Sokka strolled over and peered over a line of neat shrubbery and as suspected his friend sat in a bundle of her own white robes trying frantically to reach her feet. Even in a frustrated mess he had to admit she looked stunning.

"Need some help?" He offered softly. Despite the soft tone of his voice the girl visibly jumped. It was strange be able to sneak up on her. She turned furiously around and narrowed her eyes.

"Geez Sokka you jerk! Don't do that!"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to." Sokka apologized hastily. He looked to her feet and kneeled down to her level, careful not to sit on her dress. Carefully he took one of her feet in his hands. "You're trying to get them off right?" He asked referring to the creamy white shoes latched on to her feet. She simply nodded, defeated by the hindrance to her "sight". Sokka tugged on the shoe a couple times before it finally slipped off and into his hand. At seeing her feet though he doubted it was the shoes that were causing the most discomfort. Wrapped tightly around her right foot were bandages, covering every inch of her foot and scrunching it in a painful position. The warrior grimaced and uncovered the other foot uncovering the same problem. Toph winced when he attempted to tear at the cloth.

"Ow! Not so hard!"

"What's this all about?" Sokka asked still pulling at the wrappings

"They were my mom's too" Toph explained pointing in the general direction of the shoes. "Apparently my feet were too big to fit." She let out a groan when Sokka finally undid the tight knot at her ankle and uncovered her foot. She flexed her toes and smiles. "That's much better…" Sokka took this moment to address the girl once more.

"Look Toph, about before-"

"Not now." She presented him with her left foot which he took and began to work on. Once she was totally free she let out a sigh and rubbed her feet against the ground. Sokka couldn't help but smile at the girl, she reminded him so much of the old Toph…She turned to him and gave a small smile. "Thanks Snoozles"

"Can we talk now Toph?"

"Look, I'm sorry for kicking you out and almost hitting you with a vase…And well…Everything else."

"Uh, it's all right…But why did you…Umm you know…" Sokka blushed

"Kiss you?" Toph finished bluntly

"Uhhh yeah…."

"You asked me what I wanted remember?"

"Yeah but that's what you wanted?"

Sokka could tell that the younger girl was blushing through her tried to hide it by wiping her face with her large sleeve. "I guess" she mumbled. The older boy felt suddenly flustered, his cheeks matching hers. "I just thought then was as good a time as any since I probably won't get to see you much anymore." Sokka stood up looked down at Toph before holding reaching out for her hand and pulling her up. She looked so serene despite being so upset…

"Toph…."

"I…Have to go…The wedding will be starting soon…." Toph pressed down her robes and dusted herself off. "I hope you come…" She started to walk back towards the main house but was stopped as Sokka grabbed the edge of her sleeve and pulled her back.

Okay maybe he should have pulled a bit softer….

Without meaning to the smaller female tumbled into Sokka, her face planted against his chest and her hidden eyes wide. Sokka wasn't aware of their close proximity until she finally looked up. They stood that way for a few moments before the shouts of several people were heard.

"Lady Toph! Where are you?!"

"Oh great" Toph muttered backing away from the boy once more. "I need to go before they find-"

Sokka pulled her once more into his grasp and without giving her a chance to respond he leaned down and planted his lips against hers. She had no clue what he was doing (Neither did he truthfully) but it didn't seem like either was willing to end the intimate moment to find an explanation for it.

Whether it from lack of air or the fact that the calls for the bride were becoming louder and louder Sokka pulled back and ended the kiss. He did not want to have to explain why he was kissing a girl who was to be wed in a matter of minutes. As he backed up he grinned nervously. "Ummmm you aren't going to earth bend me into next century are you?"

Toph merely shook her head and gathered her dress and left without a word, her face redder than he had ever seen it. As she walked off towards the voices she muttered something that Sokka couldn't help but wonder about.

"You tasted like moon peaches….Both times"

She makes me wonder why I didn't do that before…

AN: Woot for chapter two...I seriously have no clue how many chapters this will have but I know at least one more :3 Be sure to keep an eye out!

Much Love
