Alright well i have a lot of stuff so say about this chapter.

First, it's short. I'm sorry. But it's mainly only dialogue. i mean, they're on appa in the middle of nowhere, again. Not much movement or anything.

Second, romance. Taang and Zutara get introduced here.

Third, it's not all that well written but the only way i could get everything i wanted written.


They had been flying for maybe a half an hour and Sokka finally couldn't take the silence. "What's wrong with everyone this morning?" he exclaimed. At the questioning glances he explained, "Aang, you're being so quiet and withdrawn, and Katara, you keep looking around and brushing, and Toph, you keep laughing, and Zuko, you're just being totally not alert."

"And what's wrong with that?" Zuko sighed.

Sokka rolled his eyes. "That you're always telling me to focus and-"

"Exactly. You're focused. And I totally trust you to know what's going on" the fire nation teen informed causing Toph to burst out in laughter.

"Alright, now I know you're not okay"

"Besides," Zuko continued, completely ignoring her. "There is absolutely nothing, anywhere."

The others all muttered an agreement. It was true.

"You know, we probably are gonna be like hustlers." Sokka smiled a bit. "I mean, we all look so weak. Aang's a twelve year old kid, and Toph's blind, I'm not all that muscle-y and Katara's a girl!"

"Er, was that supposed to be….You know. I'll ignore you" Toph tried.

Suddenly Kiama sighed loudly. "I'm bored."

"Me too kid" Toph chuckled. "Me too."

"When are we gonna get there?" Mizu asked.

"Er…" Sokka looked at the map. "Zuko?"

Toph snorted. "are you gonna ask him for help every time. It's like you're dating."

"What!?!" Sokka and Zuko exclaimed, the latter practically jumping up.

Toph laughed and laid back down. "Just making sure you were awake Sparky, calm down." she said nothing a moment and then smirked. "Besides, we all know how the couple thing works around here."

"Huh?" Aang asked. "W-what do you mean?" Poor poor naïve and hopeless Aang.

"Well, Twinkles loves Sweetness. But Sweetness loves Princy." she started, quickly interrupted by an excitable airbender.

"Katara and Zuko!?!?"

Toph nodded. "And-and-" she trailed off.

Zuko helped her out in a vengeful spite. "Toph loves Aang."

"Wait..." Sokka started. "So then who do I have to love?"

"SUKI!!!!" the others, minus Kiama and Mizu who looked rather clueless, exclaimed.

Aang looked down timidly. "Katara you…."

The water tribe girl's eyes widened. "Oh Aang."

"Ow!" Zuko had hit Toph in the back of the head.

"Do you have to cause problems!?!" he whisper-yelled.

So now everyone was upset.

"Aang….I'm really sorry. I love you but…"

"Like a little brother?" Aang guessed, receiving a pained nod. Suddenly he looked at Toph. "Wait, You. But-"

"Hold up, I never said that. Sparky did."

"Doesn't mean it's not true." Sokka commented.

Toph mumbled something, head bend low. Aang apparently heard her, and he put an arm over her shoulder.

Katara finally tore her gaze from the two and smiled at Zuko, who returned the expression. Aang still loved Katara, but he wouldn't break Toph's heart. He loved her too. And if she did, well, he could get over Katara.

She looked to her brother. "When'd you find out." it wasn't like Sokka not to flip out.

He only grinned and put an arm on his sister's shoulder. "You talk in your sleep."


Alright, well I hope you got where i was going and the dialogue wasn't too confusing. I find it was a bit cliche but i mean, i don't know. Stupid writers block!

Well I'll definitely update soon. Sorry for not doing so. Thanks to all my reviewers and please keep reviewing.
