A/N: Thanks Kamon772 and 'Guest' for the reviews. To Kamon772, I guess that is true so I'll have to be more careful about that. And to you Guest, I'll also have to be careful not to be repetitive. Also, I guess one would assume you would have a bruise on your ass from a hard fall. Trust me, I've been bruised there before. Hopefully, you'll stay interested in my story?

ATLA does not belong to me.

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

It's official. I'm dead. Deader than dead even. I've receive at least ten death threats today. At least. And all because of what? My accidental confession. Caused by Toph. Obviously. Because all of my troubles begin with her. Fortunately, every time she stomps somewhere near me, I have enough time to make my escape. Unfortunately, she's decided to pursue me this time.

"STOP RUNNING AWAY THING! MY SHORT LITTLE LEGS CAN'T GET ME THAT FAR!"

"Oh well too bad."

"THING! GET BACK HERE IMMEDIATELY!" This just makes me run faster. And run, I do. Until I'm abruptly stopped by Toph. Wait, Toph? She's surprisingly squishy when I fall on top of her. She pushes me off and unsurprisingly makes me grovel.

"Just leave me here to die." I lay face down on the ground. She shoves me. "Toph, can't you see-"

"I can't see remember?" Groan.

"That's not the point."

"Then what is the point?" As Toph slowly climbs higher on the scale of angry, I pray for my guardian angel. And he appears in the form of an admiring fanboy.

"Miss Toph?"

"WHAT OHEV?" Her feral growl manages to scare Mr. Ohev off and she finally releases tension on the foot glued to my back. "You're free to go Thing."

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

Are you ok? That's all I've been hearing. All. Freaking. Day. Goddamn, just because someone confesses to me, everyone thinks I have to be protected. What am I, five?! I can almost feel my next victim approach and when someone taps my shoulder, I'm ready for attack. But what a pleasant surprise, it's Zuko when I turn around.

"Tara? Why do you look ready to murder someone?" Zuko seems visibly worried and I go lax.

"Everyone's being all worried. It's disgusting."

"You're beginning to sound like Toph y'know."

"Heard my name?" And suddenly Toph pops in. Followed by a reluctant Aang.

"Just thought that Tara was starting to sound like you." Toph raises her eyebrows at this. "She thinks people worrying about her is disgusting."

"It is disgusting! They should just worry about themselves!" Yes! Girl power!

"See? Toph agrees! People shouldn't worry about me just because Aang likes me!" Immediately, the mood in the room changes.

Aang's anxious, Zuko's stifling his anger, and Toph being all smug in her own little corner.

"Err, Toph?" The silence is broken by Aang. "Let's go home please?" Before Toph even says anything, he drags her off out into the schoolyard and she disappears with a salute.

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

She's acknowledged me! I would die of embarrassment if Zuko didn't have a death wish against me already. Shudder. Everyone's out to get me and I can't do crap to stop it.

"Thing stop right there!" Toph grins devilishly. "We're going to the arcade." Inside, it's heaven. Flashes of light and cries of laughter. But the most beautiful thing of all, the air hockey table.

"Up for a game?"

"I'm blind numbskull." Pff. She could still kinda play it?

"C'mon it'll be fun for me at least."

"Hmph, fine." The game begins and Toph somehow manages to beat me! That shouldn't even be humanly possible and she's managed it. I vow to beat her! But after dozens of rematches, Toph has plenty of wins under her belt while I have, well, none.

"HOW ARE YOU EVEN WINNING?!" Toph scoffs.

"Yelling at a blind girl? How manly."

"DON'T PULL THAT WITH ME."

"Come Thing, The parents have summoned us." She calmly walks out without any further comment. I will reclaim my rightful title as King of Air Hockey! One day! She'll never suspect and I will have victory! "I can practically hear your plotting Thing. Just get over it."

Well then.

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

A/N: Sorry this took so long to get up. Haven't had much time to sit down and type for a while. Been thinking, after this fanfic finishes(which I hope happens), I was thinking about writing and Avatarverse fanfic. Thoughts? Review dear squishies! -V
