Enjoy and Review

Disclaimer: If Avatar the last airbender was owned by me, i would make it more than three seasons. But i dont have that power or the ownership.

Did I mention that as much as I love being alone, I'm not really used to it? At home, I never had any privacy or time to sit and just enjoy my own presence. Back then, all I wanted was to have time alone; to be alone and care for myself.

And all of a sudden I am given that opportunity. Here I am, alone on my rock, sitting in solitude. Enjoying my own presence? I don't know, I guess I wanted some company. I'm not a very easy person to satisfy; I always want what I can't have.

And as of right now, what I wanted was Sokka's presence beside me.

The boy seemed to know what I was thinking because a couple minutes later I felt the boy come striding out of the forest. I could tell he was in a good mood by the way he picked up his feet. I smiled to myself as he stumbled a little down to my rock.

"Toph, my main girl!" he said in his usual manner, sitting down beside me. I knew it would be hard holding my vow of silence. I wanted so badly to ask him about the kiss from last night, as trite as it may seem. But I already felt bad for breaking my vow when I whispered to myself last night. So no talking, I would have to wait for him to bring it up.

"So what is it today? Science? Military? Or Personal?" Sokka asked, listing the possibilities of topics. I pretended to think about it, although it was an easy answer. I held up the number three so he would know which one; anything to figure out what was going through his thick skull.

Sokka was surprised to see Toph becoming less and less responsive as the conversation progressed. He had been talking about his past relationships with Yue and Suki and how he wasn't sure if he ended up killing all the girls he ended up loving. For some reason, Toph just didn't want to respond to anything he said, even her nods became less frequent.

They sat in silence – an awkward one. Toph looked frustrated; Sokka seemed confused. The girl opened her mouth as if to talk a couple times, but thought better of it. The last time this attempt to talk happened, Toph's ears perked and she snapped her mouth shut abruptly. The girl stood up quickly and ran up the hill as fast as her short legs could carry her – Sokka chased her up.

I felt it. I knew something big was coming. Something bad. I had to warn them, but how? I wasn't talking. Call me stubborn, but I wasn't going to talk. It was part of a promise to myself.

But danger was coming, and I had to let everyone know.

The girl skidded into the clearing; Aang and Katara looked up from the fire, surprised. She jumped eagerly as Sokka came running up too, out of breath. Toph hurriedly held up two fingers, waiting for them to respond.

Aang, Katara and Sokka looked at her blankly.

Damn, they are so slow sometimes. The herd was getting closer. I was running out of time.

She waved the fingers more frantically. "Oh! It's charades. I love this game!" the avatar exclaimed. He leaned forward, "Ok. Two words!"

Toph nodded, hastily moving on. Next she bared her teeth, resulting in more weird looks. Abandoning that attempt, she tried to get into a low stance, an evil glare in her eye. She pointed her front two fingers at Aang ferociously. Again, no response! She resorted to another action, covering her left eye and scowling.

"ZUKO!" the three coursed together. Toph rolled her eyes, urging them to keep guessing.

"Fire nation?"

"Scar?"

"ENEMY!" Katara finally figured. Toph jumped up and down.

"Enemy what?" Aang asked.

It was too hard getting through their dense minds. They just didn't understand the urgency as I did. By the time they guess what I was trying to tell them, we would all be captured or worse. I felt the enemy group's vibrations getting closer, almost upon us. There was no more time for stupid games.

The three friends stood confused as Toph snapped into fighting stance, facing the eastern horizon. She stared with concentration, a thin scowl on her face.

Aang scratched his head, "Are we still playing?" he asked.

Katara felt it before everyone. The rumbling of the earth, the trembling of the ground, and the dust cloud getting closer. Her eyes widened and her heart stopped cold.

"ATTACK! ENEMY ATTACK!" Katara yelled right as the horde of salamander-dragons broke into the clearing.
