A/N: As I promised, new chapters would be coming. Enjoy!

What was I supposed to feel that day? Should I be angry, sad, depressed, hurt? The only thing that I felt was numbness… I still think that I am. I mean, it seems as if a part of me had just been ripped from my whole being. Even if I was never quite fond of my past, it still was part of my identity. So, the question is, who am I really? Who is Toph? Heck, should I even call myself by that name? Geez, and to think that Sozin's comet is just around the corner. I may sometimes be stubborn and headstrong (well, maybe more), but what I'm not is being selfish. That is one of the things I do know… Even if I'm clueless of my actual identity. Well then buddy, stop being reckless and go get Aang to continue his training. He needs to practice his combat skills. The time of needing them will be within us in just a blink of an eye (even if it sounds senseless to me. You know, blind girl?).

There was a perfect spot to practice some bending just near a pond. This place was excellent for it was hidden from civilization, which would avoid them the trouble of being discovered by the enemy. Toph had been growing distant from the gang, so it was quite a surprise for them to see the earthbender approach towards them.

"Hi, Toph! It's good to see you. So, how you've been…?"

"Not now, twinkle toes. We need to train you".

"But, Toph, what about…?"

"I said that no distractions are needed, got it?"

At this moment, Katara decided to step in.

"Toph, you don't have to act so rude. Aang was just trying to be nice with you".

"Look, sugar queen, if you want to spend your time trying to give your constant motherly lecture, fine. But I'm not going to be the one responsible of making Aang waste another second. We're running out of time before the final confrontation with the Firelord arrives".

"Hey! The only thing I'm doing is trying to avoid any fight between any of us!"

"And what you're doing right now is not provoking it? It seems that you're seeking for it rather than dissolving it".

"Well, you...!"

"Katara, stop!", that's when Zuko had to intervene. "Toph is right, Sozin's comet is upon us. If we let this quarrel continue, Aang won't be prepared to face my father".

The waterbender gave a side glace to the blind girl before replying.

"Fine…".

The three masters stationed themselves around the Avatar, each one adopting a combat position. Without any warning, for Ozai wouldn't be gentle with Aang, they started to attack the air nomad. Water, earth, and fire were flying in various directions. Any spectator would be in awe by the sparing that was taking place.

"You know", Sokka spoke to Suki, "Aang should be glad that I'm not on the battlefield".

"Is it because he wouldn't have to worry about you getting hurt?"

"What? No! I meant that if Aang had to face me, he would be in deep trouble".

"Of what, your boomerang?"

"Hey! Don't underestimate my boomerang. Plus, I always have my sneaky surprise attack!"

The Kyoshi warrior simply nodded her head before saying, "whatever you say, Sokka".

In the meantime, Aang had thrown a rock towards Toph, who easily deflected it. The flying earth went straight towards Katara, who quickly dodged it.

"Hey, I saw what you did there!"

"What are you talking about?"

"You did it on purpose!"

"What?! No, I didn't! You just happened to be standing there".

"Oh, so it means that you couldn't see me?!"

"Well, I am blind, if you must know". Katara was fuming while Toph kept on going, "I would be SO sad if you haven't noticed it".

"Don't change the subject! I know what you're doing. It's the same thing that happened back at the Fire Nation; we were also training with Aang!"

"Really, Katara? You're going to bring that subject? And for the record, THAT was also done unintentionally!"

While they were arguing, Zuko stood there a bit confused, He couldn't help but ask Aang about it.

"What are they talking about?"

"Oh, it's nothing. When we were going incognito in the Fire Nation, Toph and Katara got themselves into a tiny fight".

Zuko blinked for a bit before continuing with their own conversation. "Does it normally happen?"

"Not usually, Zuko. But when it does…"

"Don't you think that we should stop them?"

Aang did had to agree with Zuko's point. If those two kept on going with their quarrel, they could easily draw the attention of someone that might be wandering around. It might even blow their cover.

"Alright, guys! Look, I know that you have had your differences…"

"Differences?!", both ladies replied.

"Just listen, please!", Aang raised both of his hands before continuing speaking, "can't we just keep going with our training? It would be of great use for me in the following days to come".

With that speech, Toph and Katara decided to move on. But certain waterbender was still irritated. So, when the moment came, she conjured a water whip and accidentally smacked Toph's neck.

"What the hell?! Watch it, Katara!"

"What do you mean? You just happened to be standing at the wrong spot, Toph".

"Look, even if I'm blind, I can feel the emotions of people, see right through their meaningless words. Guess what? I know you're lying!"

Katara smirked at her. "What are you going to do about it?"

Toph gnarled before replying, "no need to ask, sugar queen!"

They were both about to attack each other if it weren't for a fire wall that separated them.

"Enough! Stop it, both of you! Aang is our priority at this moment. Just leave your pride for a moment, will you?"

Toph hesitated before stepping back. "Alright, sparky boy…". But Katara had to murmur the following words, "so not tough as it seems…Tsk… tamable".

That made Toph finally snap. She quickly ran towards Katara and tackled her. They rolled around the dirt; each one was trying to hurt the other. Just when Toph's fist was about to connect with Katara's jaw, both Aang and Zuko separated them. Sokka and Suki immediately rose to their feet and were by the side of their friends.

"What is wrong with you?"

"Oh, so now you're taking sides with her, twinkle toes? Why am I not surprised at all?"

"I´m not taking sides with any of you! But that doesn't mean that your attack to Katara is justified".

"What would you have wanted me to do? Suck it up like you would have done?"

Katara decided to interfere. "Don't talk to Aang like that, Toph!"

"Oh, shut up, Katara! He can handle it. He cannot always be protected by others! At some point, one must become independent. Aang is not a naïve boy anymore!"

"You don´t know…". But before anyone could continue, Toph stumped her feet at the ground, causing a small earthquake that made the whole squad wobble and lose their balance.

"Forget it! I'm done here!" Toph decided to walk away. Katara was the first to stand on her feet and shout at the earthbender.

"Toph, don't you dare give your back on us! Are you even listening? I'm talking to you!"

By each word that was spoken by the waterbender, Toph's anger increased and clenched both of her fists. "Stop calling me that!"

"Calling you what?"

"You know what I mean! My name is NOT Toph!"

"And how should we call you then?"

"I don't know! I don't know my real name or who I really am!"

And with those final words, she was gone.
