She found herself in a small, white room. "Where am I?" she asked. You are in between realities... A low voice replied. I sense you are feeling lost? "Yes, I can't remember my name, or where I'm from!" The girl said, slightly distraught. "And if you ever tell anyone I feel scared I will bend you into oblivion!" As she said this the girl realized that she was an earthbender! Ahh, there is the Toph we all know and love the voice said so my name is Toph the girl thought. I wanted to remind you of the parallel universe you all barely missed. Toph felt confused at the sudden change of subjects. She had so much to ask, but before Toph could get it out the voice left her. As Toph faded out of the room she wondered what was in store for her...
Toph appeared in a red palace surrounding a small pond. A small boy was feeding the turtle ducks near by. All was peaceful. Until a young girl tried to fry the ducks. "Azula!" The young boy exclaimed. "What?" She said, trying to be innocent. Two girl appeared behind her. Toph jumped, she didn't feel them arrive. Wait, her earth sense was gone! Did she even have one before this whole "sight" thing happened? Toph decided to ask the voice about it when it spoke again. One of the girls behind azula seemed to catch the young boys eye. Before the boy could say anything the 3rd girl spoke up. "Hi zuko! Im tai lee!" "Yes, i know who you are, you don't have to tell me every time i see you" the boy, zuko, said. "I think she likes you" the second girl said, whispering. "Mai!" Tai lee said. "Relax," mai said "i was just kidding, jeez. Hi zuko" she mumbled the last part. Toph knew this girl liked zuko. Zuko also liked this girl. Neither seemed to see that the other cared. Azula saw this too. She pulled tai lee aside. "Those two like each other" she said, whispering. "I saw we help them along a little bit" "how?" Tai lee said. "Just watch" azula replied. Tai lee sat down under a tree while azula casually walked over to the other children. They were taking by the fountain. Azula moved fast. She pushed mai onto zuko, making them both topel onto each other into the water. both of them reacted in a flash. "ahh!" zuko said "azula!" "hey, it wasn't me, maybe it was fate" azula said, winking at tai lee. both zuko and mai were blushing. as they climbed out of the fountain a woman in red robes walked by. "what happened here?" she said, rushing forward. "azula pushed me mommy!" zuko said. as his mother scolded azula for pushing zuko, tai lee questioned mai about her feelings for zuko. "do you liiiike him?" she said, drawing it out. "no" mai said, in a de facto tone. but she blushed and looked away. zuko blushed too.
that was the first time i felt love, zuko's voice said to toph as the memory faded away, but not the last...
Toph was standing over zukos body, with katara looking him over with worry. All of a sudden zuko lurched up. "Wha?..." He said "very intelligent" katara said. "You were chasing that green mist, but when you caught it you passed out." "How long was i out?" Zuko said feebly. "Only for a little while, i almost held my breath the whole time, i was so worried." Katara said, glancing at him. Zuko blushed. Toph felt bad for hurting zuko, but she has also learned about him in the process. All of a sudden she was being pulled towards katara. "Hey, stop!" Zuko said, seeing the green aura surrounding toph's ghost like body. But he nor toph could do anything, as she was pulled into katara's memories.
