Day Five: Young Love
"The beach?"
"Too open."
"Meditation pavilion?"
"Still too open."
"Should we just go into the city?"
"No, we have to meet the others again in less than an hour."
They sighed in unison. After a moment of thought, his eyebrow lifted. "The bison stables?"
At her strange look, he shrugged and elaborated. "What? Hardly anyone but us goes there, and Appa can keep watch!"
"…Let's go!"
Ten minutes later, the couple was reveling in being alone together for the first time all day. Unfortunately, it didn't last.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" The intruder's gleeful voice shocked them apart.
"Toph! How'd you find us?"
She snorted. "Let's just say you two are nowhere near as sneaky as you think."
"So much for keeping watch, buddy," he muttered, and the bison grumbled in response.
"Toph, please don't tell Sokka. Lately, he keeps popping up everywhere, and we just wanted some time together."
The blind girl dismissively waved a hand. "All right, calm down. You two can have your mushy time."
"Thanks, Toph."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." She turned to leave, but the couple jumped apart yet again when she suddenly bellowed, "Hey, Sokka! Guess who I just found?"
"TOPH!"
I feel like this is a very poor thanks for all of you readers who have been so kind, but I have to admit I kind of love this one, if just for Toph being Toph. 200 words.
