"Katara, is this really necessary?" protested Toph, "Because I can think of much better ways to spend an entire afternoon."

"I assure you, this is completely necessary" said Katara. She could be ruthless when it came to preparing for formal events.

"I did have a bath this morning. And what about Mai, and Suki? You're not making them go through this!"

"They understand the gravity of this event and are making their own, suitable preparations."

"I understand the gravity of this event! I lived in Earth Kingdom high society for most of my life, remember?"

Katara sighed. "I know you know, but I thought you might, well, need some help with your hair and makeup and..."

"Because I'm blind?"

Katara was silent for a moment. "Yeah, I guess. I mean you handle your day to day grooming really well, but this event is really fancy, and I thought you might want some help. Besides, the Duke's going to be there, and probably so is your mother."

"Yeah, I suppose." Toph felt Katara relax. "Don't get too comfortable, Sugar Queen, this might never happen again."

Katara began brushing Toph's hair with long strokes. "Don't be so sure. We'll have to go through all this again for Mai and Zuko's wedding." Toph sighed at the realization. Katara set down the brush. "I'll be back in a minute." Toph heard her leave the room and shout over the stairwell. "Okay, Aang, she's ready for you!" Katara re-entered the room, Aang trailing behind her, clutching a large bowl to his chest.

"I'm ready for what, Twinkletoes?" she asked, suspicious.

"For me to fix your hair of course", said Aang airily.

"What? How?"

"Well, sifu Toph, you see I have here," he held up the bowl in his hands, "a top secret blend of ingredients that holds hair in place. Between Katara and myself we should be able to bend your hair into curls."

"Spare me now," muttered Toph.

"Too late for that!" exclaimed Aang a little too gleefully and proceeded to dump the entire contents of the bowl on her head. The mixture was surprisingly warm and fragrant. It took Toph a moment to realize that besides her hair, she had remained entirely dry.

"Thank you Katara."

"You're welcome."

The process of hairstyling was over with fairly quickly. Katara and Aang worked efficiently, bending her hair into ringlets while it was still soaking. Once that was done, Aang dried it with a gentle breeze. With that, Katara shooed him out, but not before stealing a quick kiss.

"See you tonight!" he called merrily on his way out, "Now I just gotta figure out how to fix Zuko's hair..."

"So," started Toph, standing up. "What now, just the dress or...?"

"Sit back down Toph. I'm sorry, my friend, but you're far from finished."

"I was afraid of that." she sat down. Katara pinned and twisted her curled hair so that some was up and the rest was still hanging down in ringlets. She brushed and powdered different items on Toph's face, obviously enjoying the rare opportunity.

"Okay, all done." Katara proclaimed, surveying her creation giddily. "You can get dressed now. Your dress is on the third hanger from the left in the closet. Now I have to get myself ready."
