AN~ soooo, my turn, to write a chapter. . . what will happen now? Okay, so me and KK Renee have no idea on how to have Appa in this story, if you guys have any idea's feel free to tell us. Read on. Ith.

Toph POV

So, now that there are all these new freaky memories swirling around my brain that can control earth, I have more to think about than ever; which means I have an excuse to be outside and bend more. I love being outside and bending probably more than any of the others. It takes my mind off things, clears my mind. And I miss not being able to do it more often, I miss a lot of things, like not having to go to school, or being able to go anywhere I wanted, to not have to wear shoes all the friggin' time. But missing it won't bring it back, it'll only make everything else worse.

"Katara, I'm going to go bend. You want to come?" I asked when I got to the doorway of our room.

"Why don't we get everyone, then all of us can get some practice in," she suggested.

"Sure, I'll round them up. Wait outside the front door," I tossed over my shoulder as I left the doorway. It would be easier to find them if it was me looking instead of Katara, with me being able to feel their feet and stuff.

"Aang," I said when I got to his and Sokka's room.

"Yeah, what Toph?" Aang asked.

"Me and Katara are going to go out bending, do you and Sokka want to come?" I asked.

"Sure, why not? Where are we going?"

"Well, there is a forest not far from the institute, so most likely there or the

beach," I answered.

"Okay, When are we goin-"

"Wait, wait, wait. Does no one want to ask me if I want to go?" came a whiny voice from the bed in the corner. As you might have guessed, it was Sokka

"The question was directed at both of you, but you chose to answer or not," I said. "So answer now."

"Sure, why not," he mumbled as he sat up.

"Meet Katara outside the front door of the Institute," I said as I left for Zuko's room. It was easy to find really. It was the only room with fireproof walls, so they felt different if someone was walking when inside them. Their vibrations felt restrained, or muffled. I knocked on the door when I got to his room.

"What?" was what I got through the door.

"Sarcastic Remark Society. Open the door and no one gets their mind blown as to how witty we really are." I sarcasmed through the door. The door opened, and I smelled the tell-tale signs of a fire bender (as in: burnt cloths and hair).

"What?" Zuko asked a little bit more nicely.

"Katara, Aang, Sokka, and me are going to go outside to practice bending. Do you want to come, or not?" I asked.

"Sure, let me get my shoes and I'll be out," Zuko said as he turned back into his room.

"We'll be outside the front door. Don't keep us waiting too long," I said as I went down the hall, and down the stairs. I met the others outside the front door where I told them to wait.

"Is Zuko coming?" Katara asked.

"Yeah, he said he needs to put on his shoes first," I answered. "Do you guys want to go down to the beach or the forest over there?"

"Well, considering we have a fire bender coming, I vote the beach," Aang said.

"I second that," Sokka voted.

"I still vote forest," I said.

"Beach. Three against one, Toph," Katara said.

"So, where are we going?" Zuko asked as he came out of the front door (he had his shoes on).

"Apparently, we have to go to the beach to practice," I said, clearly still not liking the idea.

"Let's go then." Katara said, starting down the front steps. We all walked to the cliffs that overlooked the beach.

"Alright," I said "looking" at the others, "Everyone on the magical earth bended elevator to go to the beach, or, you can walk. Your choice." Everyone got on the elevator I just bended.

We got down to the beach pretty quickly and after we touched down we all spread out for a full fledged bending battle. Zuko backed up against the cliff side and started up a small fire immediately. I bent down and turned the loose sand into a solid foundation for my feet. The harder sand wasn't just around me, it was around all of us, that's why when other people came walking up the beach, I noticed.

AN~ I'M SORRY! I've had a lot to do lately (a 100 point math test with only 5 QUESTIONS! I had to write A PAGE for each question!), plus I've had writers block! I'm sorry!
