Toph's plan was going perfectly, but now she had to see that they did actually talk with each other.
She walked in a separate hallway from Katara, still feeling the vibrations, feeling exactly where Katara was. Unfortunately, Aang was going in a different hallway. She quickly bent the walls between the two hallways, conjoining them so that the two would bump right into each other. And it worked. Toph felt Katara and Aang slam right into each other on accident. She had a hard time holding back her laughter, but she didn't want to ruin her plan.
"Sorry. You ok Katara?" Aang asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied, "Aang, I think we need to talk. Meet me on the balcony in a half an hour."
"Ok." Aang said, knowing it was the perfect place to tell Katara how he feels.
Little does he know, Katara was going to talk to him about something very similar.
Toph walked out to the rest of the group to hear them talking about her.
"We got a letter from your parents. And Hawkie is back!" Sokka said, trying to hand Toph the letter.
"Umm, Sokka…" She replied, waving her hand in front of her eyes.
"Oh." He said, feeling embarrassed for forgetting the fact that Toph is blind.
"It says that they miss you and want you to come visit them." Sokka said.
"Then tell them they will have to wait till after we take the firelord down." Toph said with a little anger in her voice.
Without another word, she headed off to that balcony.
"Where are you…oh never mind, why do I even bother asking?" He said, as he got back to talking with the guys.
As Toph got to the balcony. She felt footsteps walking up to someone else. Knowing who it was, she quickly earth bended herself partially into a pillar.
"Hey Katara. "Aang said, "You wanted to talk with me?"
"Yeah. Aang, you remember before you went to fight the firelord on the Day of Black Sun?" Katara asked, blushing at the thought of the kiss they shared that day.
"Yeah, I do." Aang replied, blushing as well. Might as well get this over with. He thought to himself.
Toph was listening carefully, watching her plan go into action.
"Ever since we met, I knew that I liked you, but more than just a friend." Aang blushed even more when he said that.
"I know I kissed you, but I couldn't help it, you are just so beautiful, and I…I love you!" Aang said.
"I know you probably don't feel th…" Aang was cut off by her grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling him into a long, kiss filled with so much passion, no amount of words could describe it.
"Let's keep this a secret from the others, ok?" Aang said, knowing that Sokka of everyone would have the worst reaction.
"Ok." Katara replied, pulling Aang back into another kiss.
Toph knew her work here was done. I wish this was Sokka and I…I think I'm going crazy! I don't like Sokka, he is like my totally hot punching bag…Wait, I don't think he is hot…do I? She thought, confused with herself.
Later that day, instead of thinking of what went on with Aang and Katara, she thought of what went on inside her very own head. Do I really like Sokka in that way
She was cut off by (of course) Sokka coming over to talk to her.
"You seem pretty distant recently." He said, worrying about Toph.
"I'm ok, really." Toph said.
"Ok, I'll be with The Duke by Appa if you need me." Sokka told the earthbender.
Toph decided to go up and talk with Katara.
"So, what's up Katara?" Toph asked.
Katara jumped and was ready to bend water out of her pouch until she realized it was Toph.
"Oh, it's only you. Not much." Katara said knowing that was not the truth.
"You forget, I can tell when you are lying, and this is one of those times." Toph said, "What's going on between you and Aang."
"Oh, nothing…not much…not really…OK! We kissed today, we are tog…" Katara said, as Toph cut her off. Katara was blushing.
"I know. I was there." Toph said, knowing Katara would be embarrassed.
"WHAT??? You were there?! I can't believe you would violate our privacy like that!" Katara said infuriated.
"Look Sugar Queen, I made you two decide to tell each other how you feel, I made you guys bump into each other in the hallway, so you should be thankful that I got you two together." Toph said, stomping on the ground.
"I'm sorry, you are right Toph, and thanks. But don't do something like that again" Katara replied.
"You're welcome." Toph said happily as she walked out of the room.
Now to make sure Sokka finds out about 'them' she thought evilly, But I can't just tell him, or they will find out and I'll be in a lot of trouble from Aang and Katara.
Back with Sokka, Teo, Haru, and The Duke…
Sokka asked, "Do any of you ever think Toph is kind of, well…hot?"
"Why, do you think she is?" The Duke asked.
"Well, I don't know, that is why I'm asking." He replied.
"I think you should talk to her Sokka, maybe that will help straighten your opinion of her out." Haru suggested.
"Yeah" agreed The Duke and Teo in unison.
Back with Katara…
Aang walked in the room, and just stared at his new girlfriend.
"Hey Aang." Katara said, snapping him out of his daydream.
"Hey babe." Aang said, making Katara blush and giggle a bit, "You know I love you?"
"You might have mentioned that, once or twice." Katara said, giggling.
Then they leaned in and started kissing.
Toph was in the room next to them, feeling not one, but two sets of vibrations. One was the lovebirds kissing, and one was Sokka. Perfect.
"Hey Toph, I…" Sokka was cut off by Toph.
"Hey Sokka, I can feel that there is something going on between Aang and Katara in there!" Toph said.
