The snow crunched underneath Katara's feet as she walked around the growing village. She had been stuck in the South Pole because Sokka, and Katara volunteered to stay behind and rebuild the village.
Aang came to visit three times a month. Toph... it seemed like she shut them off completely after the war ended. Katara's head turned from side to side as she looked around for him. But she knew exactly where he was...again.
She grabbed a hot tea, and eventually her feet carried her to the edge of the village. She looked up.
"Sokka." She called. No answer.
"Sokka, come on I know your up there." She said scowling. As if on que she heard him fall and part of the watch tower's snow tumbled down.
"I'm not coming down Katara." He said just as annoyed.
"Oh yes you are. On the count of three." Katara threatened. She got in a waterbending stance.
"Honestly Katara, how old do you think I am?" Sokka mocked.
"One." Katara raised her arms. Sokka looked outside the walls.
"Oooo! Look!" Sokka pointed outside but Katara ignored him.
"Two." The walls started to shake. Sokka yelled louder.
"AANG'S HERE!" He hoped that would get her attention.
"Aang?" Her eyes teared up and she ran out the gates waving her arms like a mad woman.
"AANG! OVER HERE!" She yelled. They hadn't been expecting him at all this month. He's been so busy with business. Aang's Bison started turning downwards, and eventually they were landed. Katara ran up to Aang. Katara jumped and grabbed Appa' horn pulling herself up on top of his head. She then threw her arms around her boyfriend.
"I've missed you so much Aang! I didn't think you'd be back for a long time!" Katara said between kissing him on the cheek.
"Business at the North Pole didn't take as long as I thought." Aang said. Katara had stopped kissing him finally. "So, I figured I'd stop by early. You know I can't stay away long, this is the only home I have now." Aang said.
"Aww...well as t-touching as your l-lover's re-reunion is, can we p-please go inside now? My e-entire body has gone numb!" Toph said. Katara's head whipped around to the sound of the voice.
"Toph?" It took her brain a moment to notice the sight in front of her. Was that really Toph? She looked so grown up! Her flowing black hair framed her face perfectly when it was down. Well the voice matched her anyways.
"TOPH!" Katara really started crying and threw her arms around the blind earth bender causing her to fall backwards.
"Ouch...Katara...ugh...it's good to see you too. Can we go in now? Not too sound bossy." Toph asked getting annoyed. It was only then that Katara noticed Toph's lack of warm clothing.
"Oh my gosh Toph, didn't you pack a blanket?" Katara asked. Aang grinned nervously.
"Haha, well that was kind of my fault."
"KIND OF?!" Toph shouted angrily.
"Aang! You should know to what to pack by now! You at least packed her a pear of shoes didn't you?" Katara asked. Aang was about to answer but Toph beet him to it.
"Katara, sitting here and lecturing Aang isn't making me any warmer. Can we go in now? Where are we?" She asked looking around only noticing the watch tower.
"We're by right in front of the North east watch tower!" Sokka chimed proudly walking towards Appa.
"Yeah." Katara interjected. "Because someone wouldn't come home when you were supposed too. Lets go get Toph some warm clothes Aang."
"On it, yip yip!" Appa started to lift off the ground.
"Hey wait don't forget me!" Sokka said trying to catch up.
"See you later slow poke!" Katara sang almost too happily.
"I won't." Toph grumbled.
"Toph, you can't see anything." Aang reminded her. Toph frowned.
"Gee that makes me feel all better twinkle toes. Anyways, what I meant was I won't be able to tell where he is anymore...That is unless he decided to finally shut that big yapper of his." Toph explained. Katara snaked an arm around Toph's shoulder.
"Trust me. That yapper of his, has gotten a thousand times louder over the years. You've got nothing to worry about." Katara said comfortingly.
They started laughing as they heard Sokka's voice faint in the background.
"Come on guys this isn't funny, come back and get me."
