41.- Nonsense
"Who lit Sokka on fire?" babbled the alcohol-induced earthbender.
42.- Faucet
After all Sokka had to thank Zuko. Because despite her feet were already healed from the burnings Zuko gave her, Toph became used to sitting on the edge of the spring, her feet in the water. The sunset made a wonderful light scheme and the water from the spring fell over the girl as a light rain. And that was a sight Sokka started to enjoy.
43.- Victim
"Never more. I'll never be again the frail girl, the ugly and harsh girl. I'm not going to cry of feel alone anymore. I'll not be the broken heart of a fairytale..." whispered the master earthbender while clear tears fell from her eyes at the hearing of the love vows her beloved one was telling to another woman.
44.- Belong
Seeing her with the black metal bracelet was a great satisfaction for Sokka. That meant a part of him (a very important one) belonged to Toph.
45.- Useful
Just when Sokka tought he wouldn't be useful anymore in the group with the Blind Bandit in; she suddenly held his arm, searching for guidance over the wood.
46.- Aground
Similar to the Watertribe vessels wich sometimes run aground Earth Kingdom sandbanks, Sokka was captivated by Toph.
47.- Mist
Usually it was Toph who hold Sokka's arm in order to walk over wood or in places where she was unable to "see". But going through the haze, it was Sokka's turn to hold Toph's arm.
48.- Towing
Although she always complained about it, she never refused to carry Sokka over her shoulders whenever he got too drunk to walk.
49.- Use
"Why do we have to use a ship?" aksed Toph with a frown in her face.
"Surrounding the coast will take us several weeks, besides I like to sail. Just relax and enjoy the ride" said Sokka hugging Toph by her shoulders and guiding her towards the vessel. Sure thing, the Blind Bandit was going to enjoy the trip.
50.- Disability
"So... Doesn't she have problems to walk or doing other things?" Asked Zuko watching Toph besides the fireplace. He was just starting his journey with the gaang and wasn't used to see a blind girl walking and training as if nothing.
"What are you talking about? She's the most amazing Master Earthbender in the world!" shrieked Sokka. How could anyone even doubt it?!
51.- Resolve
The massive door between the Avatar and the Fire Lord in the Day of the Black Sun looked impressive. Tons and tons of cold hard metal. Inmediatly, Sokka's brain started to figure out a plan to break down that barrier... Maybe explosives... or force it with water pressure, like the floodgates of a dam...
"Leave it to me!" Suddenly, with a couple of swift blows, the Earthbender folded the door like a sheet of paper.
52.- Sunstroke
That was due to the heat, for sure. After all, crossing a desert without water and with a high level of hallucinogens in his blood had taken a toll on Sokka, who was blabbering nosense. Or maybe it was the girl's hearing that was wrong. Because she surely couldn't have heard Sokka saying to her she was cute. Why should he have said that? It must have been due to the sunstroke.
53.- Guild
"Why should I join that stupid White Lotus Order?" argued the Earthbender.
"C'mon Toph! I though you liked to kick ass in Pai Sho as well as with earthbending… unless you're afraid I could beat you…" said Sokka with a teasing tone in his voice. The girl drew a Pai Sho tile from her sleeve and smiled maliciously.
"You can bet whatever you want, Snoozles."
54.- Tasting
"What's with your damn obsession with meat, Sokka?"
"I don't know… I just love it! Don't you like it too?"
"No, I really don't like it…" said the girl. She then helped herself to a third plate of cow-hippo steak.
55.- Procedure
"Now, she's going to move her left leg and with a kick she's going to rise a pillar of earth towars her opponent…"
"Don't tell me you've memorized every movement of her earthbending…" said an astonished Zuko to his friend.
"Yes, what's wrong with that?" shrugged Sokka.
56.- Friend
"So… this is one of the friends who traveled with you all those years?" Lao Bei Fong asked with interest, staring at his teenage daughter.
"No Father, Sokka isn't my friend…" she answered, blushing, while taking the hand of the boy at her side.
57.- Expulsion
When Aang decided he didn't want Toph to be his teacher anymore due to his arguing with her after the chase of Azula, Sokka felt the need to stop her from leaving the group. He couldn't let her abandon Aang…or him…
58.- Addiction
"Hey! I didn't even say anything! What was the blow for?" groaned Sokka, searching his arm for the soon to be bruise.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it," shrugged Toph.
59.- Lingerie
"Toph... please don't tell me you're going to use that robe to meet my brother," said a very ashamed Katara to the other girl in the room. Toph had planned a day out with Sokka and while searching in her vast collection of dresses and coats, she asked for help from the fancy Waterbender.
"What's wrong with it? It's very hot outside and this dress is light and comfortable."
"I understand you want a cool dress, but I can't let my brother see you in a nightdress..." Katara said, laughing at her friend's now blushed face.
60.- Main
"I think... her eyes. Yeah... Definitly her eyes. Although could be her hair too... or her pretty face... But her eyes...! And her manners! Her little hands... her smile sometimes cute and sometime mischievous..."
"Sokka!" interrupted the young Avatar, "I only asked you to name one thing that you like about Toph the most!"
