"This is that gem you went to all that effort to get from those water sprites," Sokka said astonished.

"Yeah, it is. Luckily, they didn't like the mud very much or that fight would have gone a lot worse," Toph admitted.

"You used some of the spare meteorite for this?" Sokka asked.

"Yup. I thought it would make for a mini version of yours. I had to add the gem to get the enchantment on it though," Toph pointed out.

Sokka ran his hand over the talisman. It was a tiny sword that matched almost perfectly the one he had made himself. The colors matched perfectly, but it was a given since they were made from the same material. The only real difference was a blue gem stone that rested in the tiny swords hilt. It gave off a faint blue glow. Even though Sokka wasn't magically inclined, he could feel the soft vibration of magic it gave off.

"Thank you, Toph. It's the best present. What is the enchantment actually for?"

"Its to make sure your boomerang really does always come back. I also threw in a bit of extra oomph for your throw too. Not that you really need it though," Toph said.

Aang watched her smile as she tried to keep the rising blush down. Toph knew the rest of the group was just off to the side watching them. They often forgot she could hear their heartbeats and that hiding behind trees was utterly useless against her. They only thing that had managed to get the drop on her from them recently was The Jet Pet, but that was only since Katara put a silencing spell on it so that it moved quieter then even she could pick up at times.

Sokka unclasped the little chain and slipped it around his neck and put it on. Toph could feel the magic take effect, but her eyes kept her from seeing what adverse effects it had. The groups ability to remain hidden was fully compromised as they fell from behind their trees in fits of giggles and laughter. Sokka took a look down at himself. Sokka pulled his hair from its custom warrior tail and let it fall. The group watched him shake it out and turn to them.

"What do ya think?" Sokka asked.

"Sexy! Very Sexy!" Aang yelled back between laughs.

"What am I missing?" Toph asked.

Sokka did the easiest thing he could think by grabbing Toph's hand and putting in on his now female chest. A confused look crossed her face and she brought her other hand up and much to the laughter of the group proceeded to fully grope Sokka to discover 'the problem'.

"Sokka, you have boobs!" Toph exclaimed.

Aang was sure their laughter could be heard three villages away. Toph seemed just as amused at the effects the meteorite seemed to cause with the magic crossed. Sokka to everyone's surprise decided he wanted to wear it for a bit. They had expected that after a few laughs it would be something he would simply remove, but Sokka insisted on heading into their next town as a woman. Which prompted Katara to promptly lead him off and dress him in proper girls clothes. Zuko, Toph, and Aang talked while waiting on them to get back. The Jet Pet sat beside Zuko.

"Did you mean it?" Zuko asked offhandedly.

"Mean what? To turn him into a girl? No, that was just a side effect since I used unpurified meteorite." Toph answered.

Zuko waved her away saying, "I figured as much. You come up with genius ideas, but it always seems like something slips along the way. Still, a great idea in my opinion. I'm sure it can greatly come in handy later. Also, on the plus side, Sokka seems to like being a girl, but I was talking to you, Aang."

"Me?" Aang asked.

"Yeah. Did you mean it?" Zuko questioned again.

"Mean what?" Aang asked confused.

"Did you mean that about Sokka?" Zuko clarified.

"About him being sexy?" Aang asked wondering where it was all going.

"Yeah."

"Oh, well, I suppose. Sokka has grown into a really handsome guy. I already know Toph agrees with me-"

"Hey, shut up!" Toph chimed in.

"-But as a girl he looks just as good. Its like seeing a matured version of Katara. He seemed to mature further then she has when he put it on. He has the hips and all the curves where Katara is just getting all hers properly within the last year. His boobs seem bigger then what I think Katara's will ever get."

Zuko sat brooding for a bit in silence while they waited. Aang watched him as it seemed Zuko thoughts took him a million miles away. He wondered what in the world Zuko could be thinking about so much. It had been more and more like this recently. Zuko had been constantly picking moments and spacing out or saying things about them not being together that was making Aang feel really worried.

"Zuko..." Aang let the name trail.

"Hmm?" Zuko responded, thoughts coming back to their little forest clearing.

"What are you thinking? Do you think Sokka looks good as a girl?" Aang asked.

Zuko cleared his throat and was saved from having to answer when they came back into the clearing. The small group was shocked when Sokka returned as a boy. Even Toph seemed to pick up on the difference. He took a seat and seemed to plop down harder then usual. Disappointment written across his face.

"Why are now a boy?" Zuko asked

"Because I was born one," Sokka deadpanned.

"I mean, what about the talisman?"

Sokka mumbled something that none of them could quite make out so all eyes turned to Katara for answers.

"The enchantment for the boomerang to always come back is going to have to be tested later. We found out that Sokka can't seem to throw one as a girl," Katara explained.

They all looked shocked, but Aang asked the question on there minds, "What do you mean?"

Sokka lifted his arms and made like to throw a boomerang, but repeated the motion where his arm was stopped at his chest as he said, "Can't throw around the boobs."
