Later on that same night toph was sitting in her room going over a old book she had on earth bending that her mom had special ordered with raised letters. When she heard a tap at her window. It was about 3:30 in the morning she walked over to her window
"who's their?" for once she couldn't just determine who it was by felling the ground because it was out her window.
"its me can I talk to you" Aang was floating outside her window on a ball of air
He helped her down into her backyard and he dispersed his air ball h and he just stood their.
"ok twinkle toes you floated me down here for a reason what do you want do you know how late it is?" toph stood their not necessarily happy that he had wanted to talk at three in the morning.
"you don't even know what time it is" he was nervous and a little annoyed by her response to his gesture
"I know like I could read a watch wish is why I asked what time it was" she said as she waved her hand in front of her face whilst giving him a duhhhhhhh look.
"oh its like 3:38" he said as he checked his watch
"alright why are u here you didn't come over just to tell me the time" she was actually oblivious to the real reason he came over that night
"well I …..I why did you kiss me earlier" Toph stood their trying to remember because to her it wasn't a big deal but Aang could still feel the warmth of her lip's against his own.
"ohhhh I was just screwing with you and by the sound of it. it worked" she laughed slightly but then she felt something she hadn't ever felt before guilt she could tell by how his vibrations felt he was expecting another answer
"oh alright then" Aang said he felt like a idiot "here ill help you back up to your room" and with a gust of wind she was back in her room.
She felt horrible about what she had done what she thought to be a harmless prank had broke her best friends heart.
THE NEXT DAY
Katara wanted to come over but toph just sent her away. She spent a good portion of the say sulking untill the phone began to ring in tophs room.
She answered it and said "katara I don't want you over today"
"uhhhhhm ok well ill let her know may I come over?" it wasn't katara it was Aang
"oh I'm sorry what's up" she was shocked that he was calling she figured he would be mad at her
"I just wanted to call and apologies about last night I was being a bit of a baby and I got upset I guess I dot know I'm not sure what I was thinking I just want to say sorry" she was stunned that he was apologizing when all he did was got his hope's up
"no Aang I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that it wasn't cool I thought it would have been funny but it turned out to be cruel" Aang was shocked but pleasantly shocked in reality this is what he wanted to hear but he wasn't one to hold a grudge
"well anyway what are u doing today" Aang figured she apologized time to move on
"just sort of sitting around my parent's left for the weekend want to spend the night I was thinking about inviting sokka and katara over to" she was happy that things were returning to normal but she was still really bored
"yea sure that sound's like fun do I need to bring anything?"
"like a tooth brush and pajamas but other than that I got it covered oh and what do you like on you pizza I'm going to order a couple with a few 2 liters"
"uhhhhhm pineapple and ham if you don't mind and ill bring my clothes and stuff see ya later I got to go ill be over in a little" he hung up and toph stood their thinking pineapple and ham what the fuck !?
She red up the house and ordered the pizzas and told katara and sokka to come over and to bring the usual party toys and in a about a hour Aang katara and sokka arrived. And not to long sokka had made his way into the kitchen taunted by unusual odor the pizza's had
"what kind of pizza is this toph?" sokka said as he sniffed the boxes trying to guess the type but just couldn't figure it out.
"one is cheese and mushrooms for you two and the other is pineapple and ham for me and Aang" sokka opened the boxes not believing what toph had said but found what she had said to be true
"uhhm ok whatever floats your boat" sokka said as he took a slice of the cheese and put on his plate
They all got their pizza and sat in the living room
"katara did you bring the party favor's?" toph said as she munched on a piece of pizza actually surprised that she liked it.
"oh yea here let me get it" katara said as she dug for something in her duffle bag that she brought with her
After a minuet of digging through all the crap she didn't need but she brought anyway but finally she found it.
"ahh here it is" she held up a bottle of sweet peach schnapps the alcohol was like 5 per serving but it made them feel special cause they were actually drinking liquor.
"wait we cant drink no one here is old enough other than sokka" Aang said who had obviously never drank before
"its ok my parents don't care as long as I hide Sokka's keys." Aang chuckled and figured why not it's not like such weak liquor was going to kill him.
They divided up the bottle and drank up sokka was a lightweight and was totally smashed katara was fine as was Aang and toph.
"wow that was good" Aang said licking his lips because he could still distinctly taste peaches.
"told you and you were worried silly little man" toph laughed
"yea but sokka is just sad he barley had any and he's out cold" katara said as she glanced over at her brother who was passed on the floor
After a good hour of screwing with sokka whilst he slept they got their stuff together to go to bed. Well I see you tomorrow katara toph said as she got up to go to bed. She crawled up on the couch on the other side of her living room and got comfy
After about a hour of laying their toph spoke up and said "what up Aang got something on your mind you seem nervous".
"uhhhhhm no I was just thinking" Aangs voice cracked a little bit he was indeed nervous
"about" toph knew he was bothered by something and him beating around the bush was annoying her
"well theirs uhhh this girl……..this girl that I like but I'm not sure if she like's me back" Aang wasn't sure if she understood what he was saying or not he wished she did but at the same time wished she did.
"what's she like I mean nice mean or just one of those absentminded girls who cant see love staring them in the face?" toph actually didn't realize that he meant her she was almost certain that he was referring to katara.
"well she is stubborn all the time but very sweet but tough and very beautiful all at the same time oh ya and definitely the last one to" Aang was trying o tell her without telling her that she was who he was talking about
It was at that moment tophs eyes lit up she realized that she was who he was talking about.
"by any chance would you be talking about ………. Me?" toph was hesitant because if she was wrong then she would have made a fool of herself
"……………………………..yea………………" he was very scared unlike toph he could predict people's emotions so he was in the dark as to her feeling's for him
Toph was touched he called her beautiful and sweet "Aang I …… I don't know what to say"
"come with me Aang lets go where we can talk without having to whisper" she got up and led him to her room.
"toph I'm not sure what it is about you but whenever I'm around you my palms get sweaty my head spins and I fell like I'm going to puke but I love being around you". this whole sentence made toph blush
"Aang before we met a was at a carnival and a fortune teller told me that I was soon going to meet a love from a past life and then when I met you my heart dropped but now I think she was right" Aang pondered over what he had just been told
"well then I guess its fate that we met huh" he leaned in and very sheepishly kissed toph. At first it was a very shaky and awkward kiss but it became more and more passionate as time went on. After a couple minuets or so Aang broke the kiss
"toph I love you" he said as toph pulled him up into bed with her she pulled him close and they began to kiss again she clapped and the lights turned off and they laid their in each others arms for a while
"I love you to Aang I love you to" those were the last words she uttered before she drifted off to sleep in his arms under the covers in her bed.
