HI! Thanks to all who read the 3rd chapter

MODERN TIMES! ( but will have lots of references to show)

Toph can see ( for now that is I may make something happen to make her blind)

Monk Gyasto is Aang's adoptive father ( because of all the stuff about him being a father to Aang)

Tanks to kthao65, TAANG foever.x, Lone Fairytale, and Sonic 47 for review chapter 3!

Now that the boring stuff is over, let the fanfiction begins!

The final bell rings and twinkle toes and Toph walk towards their lockers, which were amazingly next to each other .

"Odd, they even put your locker next to mine; there was a guy there before..." Aang mumbles and grabs his bags.

"Yeah... I'm just gonna carry everything in my messenger bag." Toph say messing with her smart phone, playing Tetris.

"everything?"

"Yup. I don't trust the lockers. Come on." Toph walks out of the building and off in a random direction.

"Where are you going and why am I coming with you?" Aang ask catching up to her, for like the tenth time today, it seems that all he did with her was catch up to her.

"To my house. You said you wanted to work on that project, right? And anyways my parents are gone overnight so the house is ours and its Friday so we can goof off a bit." She smiled tugging on his arm

"I –uh... I don't know..." he stutters, the only girl's house he'd ever been to be Katara's...

" Oh come on! I'm not taking no for an answer!" She grips tighter on his arm pulling him towards a Mercedes Benz.

"You have a car to take you home?" Aang looks at her skeptically "and I thought you weren't a frou-frou snob."

"Shut it Twinkles! Or so help me..." She leaves the threat open-ended, the possibilities were endless.

"Into the shiny car you go!" she pushes Aang forwards, inhaling the scent of the leather.

"Gah, is that, um, leather?" He jumps practically ten feet from the car.

"Yeah, I really wish it wasn't but my parents said I can get a leather free car in two years. Come on." She slides in holding the door open.

"No, I'm fine I'll just go to my house... and do stuff." He mumbles and walks off.

"Fine, if you that much of a hippie we can walk but it is a bit of a hike. It's about a mile away." She speaks to her driver quickly and he speeds off.

"Really? So is my house!"

"Okay maybe we can hit you house to tell you mom that you are gonna be at my house." She smiles and picks up the pace a bit.

"I don't have a mom. I have a dad though, well he my adoptive guardian but I like dad better than that." He smiles grabbing his wallet to show her a picture of him and his had last Christmas.

Oh, so you like never knew your parents? I wish it was that way with my parents..." she mutters.

"From what my dad told me, my whole family died in a fire, I was in the basement with my dog, Appa and Momo, the cat, so I wasn't touched by the flames." He says sadly, clearly not wanting to talk about it.

"Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't know it was such a touchy subject..."

"It's fine I don't remember them at all, I was 3 months old at the time so I don't remember anything at all."

" Ah, I don't have any tragic life story, I'm just a green apple in a barrel of glossy, high class red ones. I really wonder if I was switched at birth but of course being a Bei Fong there is no way that is possible." Toph looks up at the sky, as if looking for a star in the afternoon sky to wish her life away from something different.

"Hey we are here, come on in while I find my dad." Aang points to a quaint two story town house squished between a high-rise law firm and an apartment complex spanning the rest of the street.

"This is your house?" Toph had always wondered how this house survived, it was from the early 20's there used to be blocks of them here but they got bulldozed years ago and replaced by stores, apartments and big buildings touching the sky. The funniest part about this is that Toph lived two blocks away from here, who knew Twinkle toes lived so close?

"Hey, it may be small but it's got charm." Aang laughs and opens the door, motioning for Toph to follow.

"I didn't mean it like that... I always passed this house on the way out of the city. My house is two blocks away..." Toph shuts up and follows him inside

The inside was a mix of neutral colors and muted blues, greens, reds, and oranges. The squishy pale blue couch look really soft the warm hardwood instantly warmed to room, and the big dog was a surprise for Toph. Appa decided to greet the guest the only way he knew how: Jump on them. He takes a running leap and falls directly on Toph, knocking her to the floor.

"Bad Appa! Toph are you alright!" Aang pushes Appa off Toph and helps her up off the floor.

"Wow you have some dog! He's so fluffy!" Toph runs over to Appa and starts petting his fluffy fur, completely forgetting he jumped on her.

"Aang is that you?" Gyasto comes over from the kitchen, holding a spoon with batter on it. "Who's the girl?"

"Dad! This is Toph, Toph Bei Fong." Aang's cheeks blush slightly at his dad's statement but it was so brief only he noticed.

"Nice to meet you, young lady. So are you Aang's friend?" He asks going over to mix something in a big yellow bowl.

"Dad me and Toph need to go and work on a project at Toph's house, okay?"

"Sure, you kids get a move on. Be home by nine at the latest." He calls as the two walk out of the door.

"So you like two blocks away? North, east or west?" He asks how come he hadn't ever passed her house.

"It's two blocks south. "

"But you're in the park two blocks south."

"Yeah my house overlooks the park. My dad had it built all the way back there to keep the noise of traffic down. "she smiled and the enter the park, taking the almost straight path out of in and on out the other side. This side had fancy houses and apartments but the biggest house of all was the one to the left of the exit, a skyscraper in suburbia.

"Welcome to my house."

"This is your house? What do you do with all that room?"

"Twinkles stop acting star stuck." Toph sighs and leads Aang though the gate and up into her house.

** I am a super star with a big big house and a big big car...sorry it came to mind**

"Welcome to Casa de Toph." Toph yells open a set of humongous double doors, opening on her lair, heck it was pretty much a whole apartment with a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom.

"This is your room?"

"Yeas, I know this isn't really helping the anti-snob thing but bear with me, it's pretty sweet, right?" She drags him over to the giant lime green couch, and they plop down on the squishy material.

"I guess. So are we goanna get anything done?" Aang asks, predicting the answer.

"Nope. I know I'm so totally amazing and awesome you'd think I'd have plenty of people to see this splendor, but besides Sparky, you are the only person out of my family to see my room."

"Sparky? who's that?"

"He's my brotha from another motha! Really we are like on the same frequency or something and we totally get each other. But to our utter dismay, his Bitchy father took him on a six month business trip, probably to try to keep us away from each other but who know he won't be back till March. So would you like something to eat? Drink? I know I may have a crude exterior put if you factor in 14 years of high society manner lessons, I know how to be a good hostess." She sashays over to the kitchen and grabs an apron on and pretends to act all hostess-y.

"Nah , I'm fine. You feeling okay? You are acting like a kid on Christmas..." He say and tries to feel her forehead. She smacks the hand away, looks at the clock, and throws off the apron, and starts to count in her head, when she's done She starts to cuss violently under her breath but that doesn't last long

"Shit Shit SHIT!" she screams, mumbling to herself like a madwoman.

"You sure about being okay?" Aang jokes.

"Shut it Twinkles, we have other issues here," she pauses her ranting to punch him violently on the arms, and restarts her cursing and her pacing. "My etiquette teacher is coming today! I can't blow her off! My parents will end me! Twinkles you need to leave now!" Toph says urgently, hearing the tip tap of high heels on the marble hallway outside her room, before the boy can escape, a busty woman of forty bust though the doors in a flourish.

"Toph, Darling it's been too long!" she exclaims, pulling the girl into a hug.

"Yeah... two weeks two long..." mumbles and slides out of her grasp.

"Oh, who's this cutie? Is he your boyfriend? Hm?" Ms. Augusta Florien, a world class etiquette teacher, looked upon the teens with a knowing look. That one comment made both of their faces turn beet red.

"No, he's my project partner, who was just about to leave now, buh-bye!" Toph say hurriedly, pushing Aang out the door.

"What's the rush? Besides he can help you practice you ballroom dancing." She says, walking over to the door, "Come come, straight to the ballroom."

"Twinkle toes, please kill me."

"Only if you kill me first."

"Finally someone who hates this as much as me." The teens rush down the stairs to go ballroom dancing, something that neither of them liked nor were good at.

** I have mediocre knowledge of ballroom dancing terms... Kill me later for it... **

"One, two thee, lift, one, two three lift, and dip!" Mrs. Florien calls from the far corner near the sound system, observing the two "Dancing novices" in their performance. Toph was alright, Aang wasn't much better. They were doing fine until the big dip, where Aang's hand slipped and Toph fell on her head.

"Owww, Twinkles, next time please don't drop me... Wow I am really dizzy." Toph said everything in her vision spinning and a bit blurry, how hard had she hit her head?

"Toph? Are you Okay? I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to!"Aang sits down next to her and does what he does best in situations like these; he fusses over her, asking how many fingers he was holding up, where it hurts, the whole shebang.

"Toph, darling, are you alright? Here." Mrs. Florien comes over with a bag of ice from the kitchen.

"Um, Not sure, can we postpone this until your next visit. I don't think I can dance like this." Toph grabs the ice and holds hit against the back of your head.

"Do you need me to get a doctor? Aang, can you please leave? Toph may be severely—he's staying." Toph cuts off her teacher quicker than you can say pudding. (A/N: I love pudding, such a funny word and delicious food!)

"Toph, what if you're really hurt?"

"It's not that bad. He also left his stuff upstairs. Twinkles can you give me a hand?" Toph pulls herself up with Aang's help and they leave the lady standing there, probably fuming about being told off by a kid.

**Do dado! Up the stairs they go! **

"You sure alright?" Aang helped her all the way up the stairs and over to her couch.

"Argh, Twinkle Toes, I'm dizzy but I'm really okay! It's not your fault!"" Toph yells, sitting straight up, before getting head rush, forcing her to sit down.

"Yeah, you are defiantly alright." Aang isn't really good at being sarcastic, but he got point across this once.

"Really, I could have caught myself easily but I wanted to get out of that so I let myself fall, but I over did it. So it's really not your fault." Toph finally stands and goes over to the enormous bathroom to take some pain medication for her head.

"Alright twinkle toes, what do you want to do now?" She walks out of the bathroom a bit happier, knowing the pain will be gone soon.

"I want to see you lie down, you can't just brush off blurry vision as totally okay!"

"No way, I'm fine!" She really wasn't but she wasn't going to be babied by the first person to treat her like a normal person. "I know my body and it's limits, I've had to live though worse. You know, just leave, maybe I do need a rest." Toph huffed and flopped down on the couch.

"Fine! You know I was just being concerned, but I guess you can take it for being so "strong" and "tough"!" Aang ripped his back pack off the floor and left in a huff.

"Stupid Twinkles..." Toph mumbled, heading off to bed really early...

** Sleepy Time!**
