The next several days were alright as normal as any other day. Toph had met Aang he was shy but he seemed nice. She had not forgotten about what Morella had said it still popped into her head every time she talked to him but she just brushed it off. Well that was until one day she went for a walk into the woods on the edge of their neighbor hood.

"I love summer time the air always has the smell of fresh flower's" Toph said as she walked past a patch of wild roses. She walked even farther down the path to the huge rocky cliff she came to frequently to meditate and to practice her earth bending.

For about a half hour she sat meditating until something very unexpected happened.

Out of nowhere she was sent hurdling back off the rock and onto the trail by someone crashing into her.

"oh shit are you ok I'm so sorry" Aang said as he climbed off toph and helped her up out of the bush.

"what the fuck is your problem you could have killed me" toph shouted as she brushed off the dirt.

"I'm really sorry I wasn't looking where I was going I'm really sorry" Aang was panicking he didn't want anyone to know he knew how to air bend.

"wait I recognize you you're the kid that just moved in right uhhm…..Aang right?" toph said recognizing his vocal vibrations plus when she said that his heart rate increased one hundred fold.

"yea I'm really sorry look pleas don't tell anyone this happened pleas" Aang was basically groveling their weren't supposed to be any air benders left so he could only imagine what would happen if people found out that he was.

"so wait what the hell were you doing I know you don't have wings so how the hell were you flying" toph was confused she didn't know any type of bending that could make you fly like that.

"well it's a uhhm well it's uhhm its uhhm a rare type of bending" it was very plain by his voice that he was hiding something

"oh yea what exactly would that be?" toph was still oblivious to what he was referring to but she was getting very annoyed that he was beating around the bush

"ughhhhhh ok fine it was air bending alright happy?" Aang was extremely annoyed but still reluctant to reveal his secret.

Toph stared at him blankly and begun to laugh uncontrollably. For almost ten minuets she was rolling on the ground holding her side's

"what is so funny may I ask" Aang was already upset and now becoming very displeased with the fact that she didn't believe him.

"you a air bender that is rich" she replied between gasps for air while she was still holding her sides

"alright fine" and with a thrust of his arms and a slide of his foot he lifted her up to her feet with a gust of wind.

Toph stood their astonished she had no argument to that "yo…..you are a……a air bender" she was stammering in her place.

"I wasn't joking" toph stood their amazed not knowing what to do now.

"so wait you're a air bender but I thought that they were extinct" toph still couldn't believe what she had just discovered.

"well most of us were. you know about the great war 3000 years ago well my great great great time's like a hundred grandpa was the very last air bender well any way I'm the next in his blood line so I guess it's genetic it has been passed down through the generations as our family's treasure" their was a hint of sadness in his voice but at the same time pride.

"oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you sad" toph felt bad for making him upset with her insensitive comment

"well may I ask you a question your blind right but it seems like you get around with no problems how is that" toph wasn't at all surprised by his question this is the same question but his was the nicest version of that question she had ever heard.

"well like you I'm a bender I'm a earth bender. Ever since I was born I was blind but I never had a problem seeing. I see with earth bending its like seeing with my feet. Ever notice I don't wear shoes I actually didn't know I was blind until I was about eight I just assumed that's how everyone saw things"

"wow that's amazing so how do u get around on a wooden floor for example" Aang was amazed at how she did that

"I still can sense the vibrations of people but its a lot harder because its not earth but my hearing and smelling are both super sensitive so I get by fine" toph was surprised by his interest in a topic most people were to nervous or to polite to ask about

"that is so cool I never would have dreamed I would meet a blind person who can see" Aang was sitting on the ground listening to what toph was saying like a kinder garden student egger to learn more.

"well your definitely the first person to call me cool normally I hate meeting new people but there is something about you" toph stood their and smiled but just then what that old fortune tell had said "you will soon meet a friend from a past life or possibly even a love".

Toph stiffed a chuckle at the thought that the old lady could actually be right. She wasn't sure why but she just felt so comfortable when she was with him. He was friendly kind and funny and very silly all the time but it was more than that.

"well I better get going home or my dad is going to be mad" Aang said glancing at his watch

"yea I better get going to or my mom will have a cow" she extended her hand and helped him up off the ground.

Her and Aang walked home together and when they got to their street they went towards their own homes.

Tophs P.O.V

Well he sure is a odd person. I think in time we could become good friends but lovers that's a definite long shot haha

Aang's P.O.V

Wow she really is something else she's tuff but kind strong but sweet and man even though she's blind she is still very beautiful but man am I getting ahead of myself but well see what time brings.

Toph walked into her house to be welcomed by something she didn't expect. When she walked she hollered "I'm home" and her mom called her into the kitchen and to her surprise her mom informed her that Aang and his dad would be eating with them tonight.

Toph sat down at the table between her mom and a empty seat which in a second was filled by Aang.

"so do you like it here Aang" Tophs mom asked as she cut a piece of steak and put in her mouth.

"yea it seems like a very nice neighbor hood" Aang said as he drizzled a little A-1 sauce on him plate to dip his steak in.

The dinner went on with simple conversation and all of them enjoying each other's company. After dinner Aang and Toph went out into her back yard to hang out while the adults sat around drinking coffee.

"so you family seems nice" Aang said as him and toph sat on the patio drinking cans of mountain Dew that they had taken from her kitchen.

"yea my mom can be a little over protective sometimes but yea their pretty cool" toph said as she popped the top of her can with earth bending.

"w wow how did you do that" Aang sat their astonished at what he had just witnessed

"well its earth isn't it?" toph was a amazing earth bender if it had even a slight amount of impurity in it she could bend it.

"wow but I thought that earth benders could only bend you know like rock and dirt" Aang said trying to hold his jaw up

"no impure metal to. the more precious one's I cant but stuff like tin and steel is no problem" toph said taking a sip of her mountain dew

"Wow" was all Aang could say he was awestruck he had never seen someone with such a natural talent for bending before other than himself except his element was air not earth.

Dusk turned into night and Aang and his dad went home. Toph helped her parents clean up the kitchen. That night while she slept she dreamt of no one but Aang and she kept seeing things that she knew weren't real but they felt almost like memories of the past of something.
