Sorry for being a lazy updater. Blame it on Prince of Tennis that made me always preoccupied. Anyways, here. R&R please. That is all.
The newly acquainted teams proceed on their Announcement tea, talking about the plans of the wedding. The titans acted on their best behavior, of course. Beast boy and Toph are seated next to each other and as the shape shifter tried to reach for her hands in a discreet way, the earthbender bended a particle of earth from the mattress and flicked it towards his eye. He screamed in pain that made everyone gaze at him weirdly then to Toph.
" What's with the look, I didn't do it! " she protested. From that moment on, they continued.
Raven used her telekinesis to write a note to Beast Boy with the calligraphy brush and piece of paper in a way that she's not going to be suspected she's using her powers. When she was done, her soul self folded it into a paper airplane and it landed to Beast Boy.
" Do that shit again Beast Boy and we'll make you regret it and by WE, I mean our teammates including I. You're in a formal ceremony so behave yourself! -Raven "
When he finished reading that, he knew that he doesn't have to be told twice after Raven glared on him which scared him. Toph acted like nothing happened, like the usual but now with a royal touch because she's on a formal moment. After the ceremony ended Zuko showed them their rooms that they'll be staying and offered their help to help them fix the ship.
" Robin and Starfire, this is the room you'll be staying. Over here's Beast Boy and Raven. Cyborg, are you sure that you don't need to rest for a while and go help out with your ship? " Zuko asked.
" Don't worry. I'm doing this for the sake of my team. " Cyborg replied. After Robin heard that, a smile on his face was seen.
" What a dedicated team member. " Sokka remarked. Cyborg said a 'thank you', and went away from the palace grounds.
" Heh, see you tomorrow. Let's go now Sokka, Aang. " the Fire Lord said, and the three boys took their leave.
" Hey Starfire, would you like to- " before he could even finish his sentence, Starfire's arm was grabbed by Mai, Ty Lee and Katara. Toph simply smirked and puts her hand on her waist.
" Starfire, would you like to join us for a little sleepover and talk about you know...trivial things? " Toph asked.
" WONDERFUL! " she exclaimed loudly and suddenly looked at his boyfriend. " You guys go on. I'll catch up. "
" Huh? What's the fuss? " Ty Lee asked.
" Yeah, I mean... " Katara whined.
" Yes, yes...I'll miss the fun you would be having at the start of your sleepover but please. I need to talk with someone. "
" Sure, we could respect that. " Mai said with a smile.
" Thanks. " she said, as Robin and Starfire walked to their room.
" Hey guys, I wanna withdraw. " Toph said. " Suddenly I'm not in the mood. "
" Okay Miss Bei Fong. But if you need us you know where we are. " Katara answered.
" Yeah, sure. "
" Raven, I know that you desperately need your space to meditate and such so go ahead. I'll be going there a little while. "
" Thank you Beast Boy. That's what I just needed. " she replied as she went inside the room, locked the door and started meditating. Only Toph and Beast Boy are left at the hallway.
" What do you think she'd be doing there? My vibrations can't detect her. "
" She's meditating. In midair. She does that to always gain her composure. " he answered with a laugh.
" Oh. We better give her space, then. I know a huge bedroom here, wanna come? "
" Why not. " he answered. As he followed the petite lady's lead, something was happening inside him. Same feeling he felt whenever he's around her past girlfriend.
" What the hell is this-! I'm not feeling the way I'm supposed to be! WHAT THE...AM I A VICTIM OF LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT? Damn, I need to consult Cyborg about th- oh wait, he's not here! Maybe Raven can- shit, she's meditating! Starfire can help me here since Tamaranians are emotiona- dammit, she'll be attending a sleepover!
CAN ANYONE HELP ME? " he mentally screamed.
" Well guess what, here we are. " she said. She brought out a bracelet made up of meteorite and bended it as a key and opened the door.
" You..can do THAT? " he said in awe.
" There is no door that the Blind Bandit can't open. " she smirked, throwing the key in midair, caught it and bended as a bracelet again. " What are you waiting for, COME IN! "
He walked to the room and dropped his jaw in awe. " This is spectacular. "
" With a Cherry Tree near the window. "
" What are you going to do? " he asked, sitting at the bed.
" About what? "
" Your marriage. " he spoke. Toph's happy attitude dropped and looked at the ground.
" I'll let things be. Besides, even though I'm the most powerful Earthbender of the world...my actions are still futile. My parents still don't believe me that I'm not that blind anymore like they used to. "
" We should do something about it. " all of a sudden, Toph sat next to him and cried quietly.
" No...nothing we can do about it. Even though I fell in love with Aang and I wanted him to be my fiance. " from those words his heart shattered to a billion pieces and bandages aren't enough to fix it.
" You fell in love with the Avatar? "
" Yes. Yes, yes, I DID! " she replied, hitting her fists to his chest.
" Calm down. " he said, slowly embracing her, showing his sympathy. " Don't worry, I'm here. "
Toph suddenly heard Aang's voice from Beast Boy's.
" It's already late... "
" We should go to sleep now young lady. You and eye bags don't mix. "
" Shut up. " she replied. She yawned and rested her body at the soft bed. " Good night. "
" Good night. " he said, lying at the bed facing her. He watched her drift into sleep.
" I wished I was Aang. If I were, I was the luckiest man on the whole dimension. " he thought, and entered dreamland.
