Word Count: 189
Rating: PG-13, for insinuations of smex.
A/N: Inspired by Jakia, pocky, and the death of Mako (RIP). Since I think
they're gonna kill Iroh off too now, he's conspicuously missing from
this fic. :(
"Augh! Make it stop!" Toph cried in anguish, covering her ears in a futile attempt to block out whatever she was hearing.
"Uh, Toph, I don't hear anything," Aang told her carefully, not wanting to anger her.
"Of course you don't hear it! But I hear everything! Ahh!"
"Toph, are you okay?" Seeing how upset she was, Aang was worried. "What's wrong? What do you hear?"
"I can't tell you! Then you'd be scarred for life too! Gah!" Pounding her feet on the ground, the girl moved the stone around her as noisily as she could, trying to cover up the noise. "Oh god, I can't hear this!"
"Toph?" Even Sokka was concerned at this point.
"Appa! C'mon boys, we're going for a ride. In the sky, where I can't hear anything!" Moving uncannily fast for a blind girl, she grabbed Aang and Sokka by the wrist and dragged them towards the bison.
"Yip yip, Appa!" Aang said, launching the threesome into the sky. Behind him, he heard Toph sigh deeply in relief.
"Toph, what did you hear?" He asked, then paused. "And where're Katara and Zuko?"
She groaned.
