HI! Thanks to all who read the 4th chapter, Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I'm a bad authoress...
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, Momo the Original, hmcja, and gutairfreak888 for review chapter 4!
Now that the boring stuff is over, let the fanfiction begins!
** Sleepy Time!**
Toph's POV (again)
"Coming right up." The nice lady with the thick German accent said ( it sounded more like " Coming vight up")
"Oh, Toph I'm so glad that this could be fixed so simply!" Mom looked like she was about to burst, so was just too happy for my liking.
"Are you sure you are alright?" Dad looks at me seriously, concern lingering in his eyes, he was always so serious, I wish he'd loosen up...
"Yeah, I don't see how seven doctors, two optometrists and our own family doctor cannot convince you I'm okay, aside from fuzzy vision? I just need glasses." I cringe on the last word, thank god my parents are also getting me contacts.
"But-"
"Dad. You made me get a CAT scan, and even they didn't even find anything, so can you cool it?" I slouch farther into my seat.
"Young lady, we do not use that tone." He threatens in a low voice, right when the lady comes back with my glasses (oh how I dreaded them) and my contacts ( which are sadly darker than my natural eye color, I liked my light green eyes). I pick up the blocky, big, black frames and slide them onto my face. I finally can see clearly again, ah, it's like letting out a breath of air I had been holding in since last night.
#$#^$#$%&#$^&*^#$&*%#$%^&%# (gibberish, not swearing)
I run to my room and launch myself towards my bed, and pull out my cell phone, and hit speed dial
" Hello? Who's this?" a slightly groggy voice calls from the other end
"Who else, Twinkle Toes? "
"Toph? How'd you get my number?" Aang asks, clearly ready to freak out, so weird this kid is
" I stole your phone, now I'm on your speed dial! Cool, right?"
"Sure... How are you? Are you still seeing blurry from last night?"
"No, Twinkles, That crazy lady told my parents and I had to go see twenty people to get my eyes looked at, I'm fine." I'm not telling him I have glasses, I hate them.
"Oh, well that's good, hey are you busy today?"
"No... Twinkles are you asking me on a date? I'm touched!" I lay the sarcasm thick, he's got to be kidding, right?
"What! No, I just, look my other friends were freaking out when I didn't go to their house and I told them about you and, um... they wanna meet you?"Aang rushed his words; he's really strange like that.
" Sure, Um, where and what time? I jumble with my phone, typing a reminder in so I don't forget, like I seem to do often
"The South Pole ice cream parlor at two?"
"I'll be there, see ya." I toss the phone down next to me, and sigh, why'd I say yes? I'm seriously need to stop expanding my friendship circle, but on the other hand I never had friends anyway...
SOMETIME LATER!
I slip out of the house though the back door (of course they leave the most vulnerable part of the house un protected...) and run towards the parlor, my flip flops slapping across the pavement. I finally make it there to see Twinkle Toes sitting on the bench, eating ice cream.
"So you're not gonna wait? Thanks I feel so loved." I say, punching his arm.
"Oh quit your whining. I was bored, you guys are really slow!" he retorts licking his vanilla cone.
"Fine, see ya in a sec "I head inside to grab my favorite, rocky road with Oreo bits on top. The line is long and there are this annoying couple bickering in front of me, about who knows what...
"Katara! Seriously cool it! So they don't have any Fro-yo right now? It's alright!" a teen with copper skin, like his date, shrugs and stares at the pretty cashier girl, is he seriously gonna flirt when he's on a date?
"Oh, shut it!" you said you couldn't live without mint chocolate chip." She retorts, poking his shoulder...
" Hey it's a quality flavor! Just Ask Aang! Or maybe his new friend will sympathize with me!"
"Hay, um are you two friends of Aang?" I pipe up behind them, I was getting an earful of their conversation without my two cents...
"Yeah, why?" the girl, who I think is Katara, asks.
"Um, I came here to meet a Katara and Sokka and aren't you Aang's other friends?
"TOPPPPHHHHH!" They yell , almost creating a sandwich pile over me
"hey, HEY! No mushy stuff! I haven't even really got to know you two lovebirds!" I slip out the middle of their hug and try to get their attention.
"Wait, lovebirds? You- *giggle* thought- * snort * couple?" Sokka said laughing with tears in his eyes, and Katara was eyeing him evilly
" Um, we are brother and sister, not boyfriend and girlfriend." Katara states in a monotone voice.
"Oh, well, I ... oops." Turn away from them, I feel my IQ dropping from the mistake.
** Hooray for mistakes, we all make lots of 'em!***
"You thought Katara and Sokka were a couple? Hahahhahaha!" Aang laughed so hard I thought vanilla ice cream was going to shoot from his nostrils.
"Oh shut it, Twinkle Toes!"
"Twinkle Toes?" Katara mused, causing Aang to turn bright red, hm, this may be useful in the future...
" What's it to yah, Sugar Queen?"
"SUGAR QUEEN?" Katara yelled ,nearly dropping her ice cream.
"Yeah, sugar queen, you know miss goody two shoes, daddy's girl, obedient nutcase, any of those names ring a bell?" I put my ice cream down, things may get ugly...
"Why you!" she looks livid, this probably wasn't the best idea..
"Hey Katara, Toph! Stop it!" Sokka says, holding her back, Aang gripping my arm.
"Fine." I pout and slide next to Aang.
"Thanks, Sitting Bull." I look over at Sokka and smile
"Hey! We're Inuit! Not native American!" Sokka stands, waving his hands in the air like plane propellers.
"Whatever you say, Sitting Bull..." I smile; I'm beginning to love Aang's friends more and more...
** I am sorry for that! I'm not being racist, and I only meant it as a joke, so no flames please...**
"Think fast twinkles." I toss him a can of coke I bought from the vending machine and sit down, at our deserted lunch table; we are just too cool for anybody else.
"So wanna hang out at Katara and Sokka's house this weekend? They called me and said you were invited too...
"Sure, you'd think they never want to see me again after the ice cream incident yet we've hung out a lot! But Katara is too motherly and Sokka is annoying sometimes..."
"Yeah, well they still wanna see you. They told me you have to come or they'll come and kidnap you away from your evil parents." Aang laughs, he still hadn't met my parents and I'm happy about that...
"Hey, bitch, you turn me down for this?" the "girl" ( A/N: I meant to type boy here but I typed girl instead, it looks better than boy...) I kicked in the balls walks over with his "posy" , and leans on the table, inches from my face.
" hey, missy, get you and your cry baby friends out of here before we play kickball again." I stand up a push him off the table.
"Why you!" he yells but goes straight for Aang, I try to stop him, but his cronies grab and restrain me. The whole lunchroom has totally shut down, watching the sight. I'm really hoping they down't start to crowd and yell "Fight!"...
And what do the kids do? Get, crowd around, and yell " fight! Fight! Fight!", of course... The jerk lands a swift punch in Aang's guy almost throwing him to the floor, he winces but doesn't cry out in pain, and ah, this is my entire fault...
"kick his skinny ass, Aang!" yell receiving a smack on the cheek form the jerk ( what is his name? Eric? Erin? Eduardo?)
Aang sees him smack me and pile drives him to the best of his abilities, which isn't much but it still takes the jerk face down. He sits up and throws Aang against the nearest wall, and he smashes into it, crumpling into a bloody, pulpy mess on the floor. It takes one second looking at that face before I lose it.
I nearly rip the guys arms while I break free form their grasps and flip the big guy over, he's pretty light for someone so big, and I hear his head smack on the hardwood with a sickening crack then I throw him towards his gang, and him and his cronies falls on the floor.
" Oh, are the wittle pwincesses hurt? That's what you get for playing in the big leagues, kiddies..." I yell and run over to Aang, his face is pretty dinged up, beginning to bruise and already bloody. I hoist him on my back and begin to trudge towards the nurse's office.
"Toph?" Aang finally lifts his head from y shoulders, and I let my self calm a bit.
"Yeah, Twinkles?"
"Thanks for saving me."
"Sorry you had to do anything, that jerk face is gonna pay big time. There's hell to pay for what he did." We finally reach the office and I leave him, I need to get to class... but really don't want to...
***TOPH SMASH!***
"Um, Gyasto? Is Aang okay?" I call Aang's house immediately after school, guessing he went home.
"yes, he's fine, but he wants you to come over to talk. Or at least that what he's been telling me. By the way, thanks for saving him." He hangs up and I hear the buzz in my ear from the phone...
"George ,can you drop me off at Aang's house?"
"Aang's again, Mistress Toph? Alright." And the Mercedes speeds down the road towards Aang's house...
** magical Mercedes!***
"How ya feeling, Twinkles?" I walk into his room and sit down on the edge of his bed. His whole face has bandages on it and he looks a little cross-eyed. He probably has a concussion...
"I'm okay, I think I took to much Advil, I'm seeing double, not like I mind, your peerty! Ye-Haw!" Aang mumbles ,sounding like a cowboy, I think he's loopy.
"Aang, are you really alright? I think I'm gonna go get Gyasto right now, okay?" I I try to walk away but his hand grabs my wrist.
"No! You can't leave, the sloth slug will eat your brain! And Momo will miss you!" Aang looks completely panicked, but it's the pain talking, he's nutso!
"Twinkles, your talking crazy, I'm seriously gonna go get your dad."
"TOPH! You can't because- because, I LOVE YOU!" he yells pulling me close to him. Yeah, he's lost it. I finally get him off me and hightail it downstairs for Gyasto, he says that I probably don't want to see him get crazier so I leave, slightly crept out, ah Twinkle toes you are so weird...
***Hm, well that was odd...***
I can't concentrate. My homework's unfinished ( like I ever finish anyways...), I can't stay still, I can't do anything but worry. Aang may have been seriously messed up by jerk face, and it's my entire fault. I can't call over, I may just annoy Gyasto, but I'm so dang worried! I almost hurl my phone against the wall when it rings, disrupting my thoughts but squeal like a four year old when I look who it is, Twinkles is seriously messing with me...
AANG!" I yell into phone probably breaking his ear drums.
"Toph, can you refrain from totally botching my hearing before high school? And uh, sorry for earlier, Gyasto said I said some pretty crazy stuff, I took too much Advil on accident, I read the label wrong, but on the other hand you were so awesome today, you whipped Edwin's butt, and I couldn't even get him to the ground, thanks again for that..."
" You had me scared shitless, Twinkles, you were really talking the crazy talk, And you were talking about sloth slugs and Momo, and love , and, and , and jerk face's name is Edwin?"
"Yeah, and sloth slugs? Now I'm wondering who the crazy one here is, but I'm fine and Gyasto wanted me to call you and tell you. G'night Toph." He hangs up and action leaves the buzz in my ear yet again, Now I can finally go to bed.
*** hours later***
No matter what I do, he doesn't leave my mind, what the hell is wrong with me?
** hehehehehe, she got him on her mind**
And the feeling towards each other grow, and we still don't know if Aang was or wasn't serious when he said I love you ( he may secretly but you sadly have to wait to find out...)
And I'm starting school next week so I'm gonna try to post every week to every two weeks... it depends on the homework load...
