It took you two days before you reached the village that you needed to go to by yourself,you had set up camp miles away from the village it was early day time you make a forest for you guys your time spent with Zuko and Iroh it was good you and iroh hit it off just fine you both loved to have tea you both would sometime spend time talking about different types of tea with you and zuko you would do things to him to which would get under his skin but at times he was ok with you.
"so why are you going down to this whats the name of the village"zuko asked
"Its called Gaoling"you tell him looking as far as you even though you couldn't see the village
"So why do you have to go there"zuko asked you
You make an earth tent around you for a few minutes then take it down you had changed clothes you had changed into something else it was a nicely light green short kimono that went up to your knees with flat sandles you take out your headband"I have some things that I have to do I'll be back late tonight alright feed redwood ok there should be somethings in there for you to eat ok"you tell them not looking at them
"Are you sure you don't want one of us to take you in to town"iroh asked seeing what you where wearing
"No it's ok really"you turn and smile to him,with you bring up some earth and and push odd leaving them they watch you leave
"You know we could just leave her"zuko tells him
"We could but why would we she's so nice"iroh
"...I wonder why she has stop and go to that village by herself"zuko asked looking from where you left
"I'm sure she has a reason come now and enjoy some tea with me"iroh tells him
You make to the village you stop earthbending and jump off your rock,you make sure that you looked ok before you went in the village,you walk in there where people going on about their daily life no one noticed you which was good,you walk some more you look in the stores you couldn't buy anything because they would find out ever since you left you house your father has tried to find you,when you came back to the village the first time when someone noticed you for the first time when your hair was still long you almost got turned into your father that was to much for you after you left you cut your hair and have since then,you walk some more when you come to a stop you look up it was the Master's Yu earthbending academy you started off here when you where only 6 you really wanted to do it so your father let you,you where a good student at the age of 8 you where even better then your teacher,when toph came to do the class with you,you where so happy have her with you that you couldn't wait to teacher her but your father her mother and Master Yu would not let her go past the first level you knew that she was really good,always after class you teacher her new things she learned on her own too,when she got lost that one time,no matter how many times you would try to tell your parents and Master Yu that toph needed to be up a next few levels they would say no,which made you upset all the time and your sister but that never bothered you both,when you turned nice you started to the under ground matches with your sister you and her would both enter,you and her would always end up facing eachother of course you where ahead of her and would win no one knew that you both where sisters at all,it didn't matter you both where happy either way.
"Miss can i help you"a voice broke your train of thought
You look to see one of Master Yu's servants standing there"on no thank you"you tell him and bow then leave quickly,the guy looks at you,you walked through the market place you where looking around that you didn't see where you where going that you bumbped into someone"hey watch it"you/other person
You look to see it was boy a few inches taller then you with tan skin,blue eyes and small pony tail with a green bag or pruse you look at it then at him with a questionable look,he realized this"its more manly then you think"he told you
"Yeah whatever next time watch out where you going"you tell him
"me you where the one looking around"boy tells you
"Whatever"you push him out the way and go on your way
The boy watched as you walked away"Sokka"a girl called to him,he turns to see his sister come over to him"what are you doing you got the bag"
"Yeah just had some problem"sokka
"Well come on we have to find Aang a earthbending teacher we just found this earthbending school come on"his sister pulls him
You where still walking through the market when you spotted one of your old house servents getting somethings for you family,you hide and watch them as they load up on what they bought,when they where done you quickly run and hop on the back of the cart as they pulled it away,you ride through the village untli you reached your old house,yuo jump off before they went in and hide behind the bushes,you look as you wateched as they went inside"great"you look at the gurad,you sneak from behind the bushes and make your way around the furtherest wall which took you awhile,you create a hole in the ground under the wall until you make it to the other side you come out and cover up the hole and run hiding behind the bushes until you reached the house you saw a gurad coming you hid then come out and went inside your home,you make it down to your sister's room and open the door you look in and go inside you look and see that she wasn't inside her room at all,you slap your head
"I forgot this is the time they go out for a strole"you look around her room and then go and sit on her bed you run your fingers through,you get up and walk around her room then go and look out the window at the grounds you remeber you and sister playing in the back
"Come on toph you can't get me"you yell at her
She laughs at you"tsk yeah right just wait until i get you"Tohp she earthbends shaking the ground making you fall,you trip her and she falls on you,you both laugh at this,you get out from under her and stay there
"Good job toph your getting better everytime"you tell her
"Thanks"toph she stops laughing
"Whats wrong toph"you ask her
"Sometimes I wish that mom and dad could see that I'm not weak"toph tells you
"Well you know that your not weak because you would never had said that in the first place"you tell her getting up,she gets up too
"Hahaha yeah your right"Toph
You get her in a headlock"you bet I am"you give her a nuggie and let her go you both start to laugh
You let out a sigh and smile"Well I better come back later tonight then"you hop out the window and start to run on the grounds back over to the far wall right before you dig a hole in the ground something sinks you into the earth some had earthbended you,you get out of it and turn around to find no other then no one standing there you look around you felt yourself being dragged under ground again you get out and look around the grounds there was no one you quickly make an earth tunnel and leave the grounds,in the shadows was your sister she had seen you standing there when she came out when she sees you run off she turns and goes back inside the house.
You make it back to town it was getting late and you have yet to see your sister,you look up"well its about to start she might be there"you tell yourself
You make down to the underground earth rumbling tourments that they have going on that you have been going there for years you smile as you listen to the crowd as they cheer,you hurry up and find a seat you sit down and wait for the matches to start as the people cheered you did too,just then three people sat down infornt of you,you didn't care all you wanted was the was the fights to start, when it did it was guy name the boulder you knew that he was a wash-up but everytime he won the guy infornt of you keep going off which really got on your nerves but you didn't do anything about it,when all the players where beaten 'the blind bandit'came out*she's still using that name*you tell your self
You wait and watch as your sister comes out,you smile at her as she makes fun of the boulder*you 've gotten better*you laugh at this"yeah go blind bandit"you yell,that you stop the ground making the boy infornt of you shot up a little,you left when he came back down
"Sokka are you ok"his sister asked as he gets up
he turns around and finds no one there"yeah I'm good go boulder crushes her"sokka yells
you leave the arena it was really late at night and you Remember that you had to go back to Iroh and Zuk,you start to leave the village you where at the entrance you look back at it,you didn't get a chance to see your sister,you run into the night and leave.
With Iroh and Zuko they waited for you to come back,when they heard you coming up the mountain they see you,you get off your rock not looking at them,you felt their eyes on you and look up"what"you asked them
"Welcome home how was your trip"iroh asked you
You walk over to the wall of the mountain and make a cave to go inside"I'll see you guys in the morning alright I'm really tired ok"you tell them and with that you close the door behind you
Toph just came out of the arena she had just gotten bet which made her angry but not as angry as when you came back home and she almost had you,on her way home she was thinking about as it build up she stopped and hit the wall causing a big hole in it she let out a scream and feel down on her knees and hit the ground with her other hand,she took out the ribbon that she had and she squeezed it really hard like she was trying to get some juice out of it,but then it subsided she gets up off the ground and walks back home.
