"Well when you figure it out, tell me. Now why didn't you have Katara heal you up?"

"I was to busy eating and fighting with Suki, but enough of that I'll tell you later. Let's all go back to camp so I can tell you what happened and you can tell me what you guys were up to." He proposed, "Also my nose is bleeding really bad and I'm starting to feel a little light headed."

All three of them walked back to camp in relative silence, Sokka occasionally let out a small gasp of pain, and Aang absently humming to himself.

Toph's mind was whirling. Why had Sokka and Suki been fighting? Could it possibly be that they weren't together anymore? Maybe Suki had met someone else and had broken up with him. Whatever the reason Toph was sure to find out soon enough.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Katara gasped in horror, "Sokka what happened?" she quickly rushed to his side with her water at the ready. There was blood covering his whole arm and neck.

Toph was about to say something before Sokka interrupted. "Ohh you know I just tripped, clumsy old me. I landed on my broken nose and it started to bleed" he chuckled nervously. No need to get Toph in trouble, he knew if he told Katara what really happened Katara would yell at Toph, telling her she needed to be more considerate or something like that. And Toph would argue back and soon there would be a huge fight. Sokka hated it when they fought, he just wanted everyone to cooperate and be nice to one another.

Katara got to work healing Sokka's nose. When she was done she stood back and said, "Wow, that must have hurt, your nose was broken in three places. One of then was older and was harder to heal than the two fresh ones."

Toph's mouth shot open "You mean I broke…I mean Sokka broke his nose twice by just falling" she hoped Katara hadn't noticed the mistake she had made. She noticed a slight reaction in Katara's heart rate but Katara never questioned her.

"What do you mean you broke Sokka's nose?" asked an angry voice that for once didn't belong to Katara.

Toph turned to face the person. It was Suki. She hadn't noticed her when she had first come into camp. Toph felt a sudden surge of anger towards the girl but repressed it. Instead she decided to come clean "It was an accident I didn't know his nose was already broken." she said a little hotly.

"How do you accidentally break someone's nose, twice?"

"I earthbended a rock up in front of his feet to trip him. I didn't know he had a broken nose. If I did I wouldn't have tripped him" she said defensively. "It's not like it's any of your business anyway. I said I was sorry and he accepted my apology."

"Whatever, all I know is that I wouldn't intentionally trip someone I had feelings for." she responded coolly.

Toph's anger flared up and she blushed. "What makes you think I have feelings for Snoozles over there, I mean he's kind of wimpy."

"HEY!" interjected Sokka

"So you're saying you don't have a crush on Sokka?"

Toph turned scarlet "I…" she was trapped now.

Katara decided to intervene "You know what I healed his nose he's perfectly fine now. Why don't we just settle down and you guys can tell us what happened? That stew should be done in about 20 minutes"

"Excellent idea Katara" Aang said, he walked over and took a seat on one of the benches Toph had pulled up earlier that day. Katara sat next to him.

Toph walked over and took a seat across from Suki. This left only two open seats one next to Toph and one next to Suki. Sokka weighed his options, he didn't want to sit next to Toph and make Suki jealous risking another outburst. He certainly didn't want to sit next to Suki, not only would that be awkward but he also didn't want Toph thinking that anything was going on between them.

Katara saw his internal struggle and decided to help him. She stood up and grabbed his arm "Here why don't you sit down next to Aang and tell everyone about what happened, while I stir the vegetable stew." She pulled him down into the seat and Sokka silently thanked her. Sokka told the story at the beginning and when he got to the part where Suki told him what happened he paused and looked at her.

"It's okay Sokka I can take it from here." she said with a weak smile. She took a deep breath and told her story, this time with less tears. She noticed that it was a lot easier to tell it the second time.

When she was done Sokka spoke up, "After that I looked at a map and formed a plan. I knew you guys wouldn't wait the whole three days for me because that wouldn't leave any time for rest, you would have gotten here at the same time as the invasion force. My instincts told me you would leave sooner. According to the map it would have taken me three days to get there and that was if nothing happened to delay me. Then at least another three to make it to the island, probably more like four. So I decided to skip the detour to the meeting place and head straight for the island."

"Wow Sokka I'm liking your instincts more and more every time you use them!" said Aang

"I told you they where handy. I bet you feel twice as stupid for making fun of them now don't you? Airboy."

Aang didn't reply instead he let Sokka continue with the story. Finally he got to the end of the story with him and Suki getting in the boat, he shared a glance with Suki and they silently agreed to skip ahead to them landing on the island, leaving the breakup out of it.

"So what did you guys do while I was gone?" asked Sokka

"Not much," replied Toph sounding bored "The second day I didn't wake up till noon then we practiced bending till late and the third day we left early morning and flew till we got here. Since then I have mostly earthbended. Nothing special."

Aang and Katara looked at each other, smiling slightly, Toph didn't let them get one word in.

"What about the first day?"

"I don't know I was still unconscious."

"What?"

"Remember how Toph was hurt? Well her head injury was very severe; I didn't think she would pull through in the end. But she did, and if it weren't for you Sokka she wouldn't have." Said Katara.

"You mean I…I saved her life?" said Sokka in disbelief.

Toph blushed and turned her head towards the ground. "Yeah you did and well, thank you." she said in a small voice.

"Hey you don't need to thank me. Lets just consider it pay back for all the times you've saved my sorry butt. How many times has it been? Like five? Somewhere around there. So in reality I still owe you at least four more."

"Four and counting Snoozles, don't forget all the times I'll end up saving you tomorrow."

"Hey who says I'll need saving tomorrow, I've been sword training a lot recently and I'm getting pretty good if I do say so myself."

"Yeah but that doesn't stop you from being clumsy."

"Well how do you know that I won't end up saving you tomorrow?"

"Because the I'm the greatest earthbender in the world."

Their playful banter continued for five minutes, Suki watched this interaction between Toph and Sokka with growing interest, but then Katara cut in announcing that dinner was ready to eat.

The rest of the day went by in a lazy fashion. Every one mostly just mulled about the campsite making small talk or just sitting around doing nothing.

Toph had wanted to practice some more but Sokka told her she had done enough training and needed to rest. She was going to ignore him and earthbend anyway, until he offered to play a game of Elements with her. She called him a dunderhead but accepted his offer anyway, admitting that she didn't know how to play. He taught her the rules and hand signs.

"Okay so, water erodes earth, fire evaporates water, and earth smothers fire, right?" Toph asked to clarify it.

"Right."

"And the winner gets to flick the loser in the face?"

"Yes. Now are you ready?"

"Yep"

"Earth, water, fire, bend!" they both said in unison.

Sokka's hand showed water and Toph's fire.

"What do you have?" asked Toph

"Earth." Sokka lied.

"Sokka!" Toph said her voice disbelieving "are you trying to exploit my blindness to your advantage?"

"No."

"Liar, I bet you have water don't you?"

"Yes." he said defeated

"I knew it!" she said in triumph. She then proceeded to flick his face three times, once for winning, once for Sokka's cheating, and once just for the heck of it. This continued for twenty minutes before Sokka finally gave up having lost every single time.

Soon it was time for bed, everyone had laid down for sleep, except Suki. She walked over to Sokka and shook him slightly.

"Hey Sokka can I talk with you for a minute?"

"Sure."

He got up and they walked away from everyone else, but they didn't leave camp thinking everyone else was asleep. This was mostly true Katara and Aang were fast asleep, but not Toph. She had always had trouble falling right to sleep, and so much had happened today that her head was still buzzing with thoughts. Then she heard Suki's soft voice and Sokka's mumbled replay and then footsteps. She strained her ears listening in on their private conversation.

"Listen Sokka, I'm really sorry for the way I've been acting today. I don't know what has come over me. When you first broke up with me I was sad and hurt, because I really like you a lot, and I guess it all just turned to anger because you were constantly around reminding me of all the things I like about you and all the things I'll never have. Then seeing you around Toph made me realize that as long as your happy so am I."

"It's okay, Suki I understand."

"No it's not, I was acting downright awful and I'll make it up to you I swear. I can also see why you like her so much she's smart, sarcastic, and tough. Everything you need in a girl, she would be perfect for you."

"You don't have to make it up to me, your apology is enough. But coincidently would you mind not telling Toph that I like her. I'm not ready to yet, I get this feeling she might hurt me."

"Really? Because I get this feeling that she likes you a lot."

"How would you know? You've only been around her for a day."

"More than that if you count the serpents pass. Plus I have what one would call women's intuition, and it's telling me she definitely likes you. And then there was that time she kissed me." She said that last part musing to herself.

"What! She kissed you? When?" he said loudly and worrying slightly.

"Ohh not like that pervert. It was that time when she almost drown and I saved her, she kissed me on the cheek thinking that I was you."

"But why would she think that?"

"I think it's because you shouted that you would save her. She just assumed that it was you."

"Ohh," and then it hit him "but that means she has probably liked me since then right? Wow she must be feeling pretty jealous of you right now."

"Probably, I suggest you tell her how you feel soon, or at least that we have broken up."

"Yeah I guess you right. Well good night, and, thanks" he walked back over to where he was sleeping and laid down, unconsciously scooting closer to Toph as he immediately went to sleep.

Toph lay there in a daze. Sokka and Suki had broken up. And to top it all off Sokka liked her. She just couldn't process it. She felt Sokka lay down, this time a little closer than the first time he had gone to sleep. Then she felt his gentle heart beat slow as sleep overtook him and he scooted closer to her.

'What in the world is he doing?' she wondered to herself. She sensed that Suki had already lain down on the other side of Katara. Sokka had stopped only two feet from her, she could almost feel his breath on her neck, and it was driving her crazy. She earthbended a small rock and it hit him softly in the head. He didn't stir. 'That proves it he is defiantly asleep' she lay still for a moment but couldn't get to sleep. Sokka was just way to close to her, so she tried moving farther away but that just made her restlessness worse. She did the only thing she could thing of, which coincidently happened to be one of the things she had been dreaming of for months. She scooted closer to him, so close in fact that she could actually feel his breath this time, instead of just imagining it. She accidentally brushed up against him and he stirred, wrapping his arms around her and mumbling her name. 'Ohh crap he knows. I'm in trouble now' her heartbeat rose but then she calmed sensing his heartbeat up against her back. It was slow and steady he was definitely sill asleep, and soon so was she.
