21.- Hopscotch
"C'mon Toph! You're going to love this game. You just have to throw the stone to the squares and hop through the squares without touching the lines."
The rock hit Sokka's head instead the square.
22.- Expression
She always knew if Sokka's face expressed calmness, happiness, rage or sadness. But she would happily give up all her Earthbending powers just for a chance to see it.
23.- Possibility
He knew it was risky to walk through the Fire Nation city pranking and scamming because they could be discovered. But he was so happy just to be spending his time with her...
24.- Walk
He didn't like to walk. She didn't like to fly. But he loved walking with her, and her heart soared when she was with him.
25.- Squawk
Aang told her about the time Sokka was attacked by a turkey duck while staying at the Fortuneteller village. And Toph soon found out that if she imitated the sound of the particular animals, Sokka always got startled by the shock.
26.- Hill
It was very funny for Toph that despite all the time they had been sharing together, he still thought he could hide from her beneath a pile of rocks.
27.- Terrorist
"Sokka! Toph! I swear I'll freeze every limb off your bodies if you swap the salt and sugar again!" the angry waterbender yelled.
28.- Reject
It wasn't like she didin't like flowers. But the Panda lily didn't smell very good and its beautiful colors didin't meant anything to her. But... How could she reject the gift when Sokka broke his arm and burned his eyebrows in order to bring that flower to her?
29.- Somebody
"So... All this time it was her, wasn't it?" Hakoda asked, putting his hand on his son's shoulder and looking in the distance for the girl. She was wearing a heavy white coat and was playing with some penguin chicks. Her ink black hair stand out against the pure white scenario from the South Pole and a little turquoise jewel that matched her eyes hung from her neck.
"Yes dad... It was her..."
31.- Register
"Of course not, Toph! No way! I'm not going to register to Earth Rumble 7!" Sokka guaranteed.
The next week he was standing in the ring.
32.- Graphic
"Why do you want to know how much have you grow up?" Asked Sokka while measuring Toph's height and marked it in the tree trunk.
"Just curious," she replied and touched the notches Sokka had carved in the tree during the last few weeks.
33.- Carbine
"You've got your earthbending, Toph, but I'm a better shot than you!" the watertribe boy teased, throwing mudballs at her, and dodging the ones she threw back playfully, letting him have his fun. She let him have his moment, smiling.
34.- Mother-In-Law
"Welcome back, darling! Please, come in. I must ask you to take off your boots before you go in. Please don't use your coat inside, I'm suffocating just seeing you! My husband will be here to greet you. Remember to bring Toph in time for the dinner, darling. And don't let her scam or mess with the people. And watch her from troublemakers. And don't let her stain her dress. Ok, darling?"
"Yes, Mrs. Bei Fong..."
35.- Fade
"Where's Toph?" Katara asked to her brother.
"The Earth swallowed her... literally" he said.
36.- Doorman
While leaving the Bei Fong's mansion, Sokka couldn't help but felt sorry for the little earthbender. The house was watched by hundreds of guards, whose work wasn't to prevent somebody's entrance, but the leaving of the girl.
37.- Silk
"Are you going to weave my hair into a veil?" Toph asked Sokka.
"No. I'm just enjoying threading it"
38.- Inside
"Toph... Would you mind to explain to me why, in the spirit's sake I'm inside your earth tent?"
39.- Lively
There was a big difference between the sardonic laugh from the Blind Bandit and the happy giggles from Toph.
40.- Strength
For him it was his meteorite sword. For her it was her Earthbending. And whitin that little black bracelet there was the mix of those strengths into a more powerful one: their friendship.
