Author's Note: This chapter is so short I finished it in one sit-down! Hahaha that, like, never happens! Anyway, thanks to all reviewers! I hope this story is good... I already know what I'm going to post after this story is finished. -.- I'm so excited about it, I already started writing it. It's goooood!! Haha at least I think it is! There's just one problem... it's not Avatar!! D: Sorry, guys, I've been getting into other animes, too, recently. :( But, I'm still an Avatard! This won't be the last fic coming from me of Avatar!


By nine o'clock the girls were waiting down by the night club. They had to get fake I.D.'s to get in, and both of them, mostly Katara, felt immensely guilty for doing so, but Toph reminded her it was for a good cause, unlike most of the people who sneak in, and it eased her feelings a bit.

Once inside, Katara already felt a headache forming from the loud music and all that yelling. There seemed to be more noise going on inside here than in the whole entire city of New York, and Katara felt herself once again becoming woozy. It took her a while to compose herself, but eventually she was able to focus once again.

"Are you ready?" Toph's voice rose above the rest of the noise.

"Yes!" Katara shouted.

The two girls went around describing a woman that was possibly there. Katara was scared out of her mind someone would answer, "That's me." She was terrified to approach a possible killer.

Strangely enough, all the people Katara asked so far had never seen this person before. Even the people who were daily-night-club-goers. Katara shoved her way through a large crowd of people, searching for Toph's familiar vibrations. It was hard to distinguish one amongst hundreds, but she could just barely tell where her friend was located.

"Dude! That's so sick! Do it again!"

"My mom is going to kill me if she finds out I'm here!"

"Crap! Is that our history teacher flirting with some girl over there?"

"Did you hear of that comet that's coming? Yeah, it'll pass right over New York in about a week!"

"No, I don't want to dance with you. Hey, leave me alone!"

The voices of so many people reached Katara's ears, and she wondered if any of them belonged to the one particular person she was looking for.

"Toph!" Katara yelled once she reached her friend. "It's a bit loud in here!"
"What!?" Toph asked.

"I said it's a bit loud in here!"

"WHAT!?"

"IT'S A BIT LOUD IN HERE!"

"Oh!" Toph laughed. "I agree!"

"Nobody seems to know who I'm talking about!" Katara shouted.

"Same here!"

"Should we go outside!?"

"What!?"

"SHOULD WE GO OUTSIDE!?"

"Oh! Yeah!"

The blind friends headed towards the exit. Once the doors closed, the music and loud talking stopped.

"Ah, yes!" Katara raised her hands in the air. "Clear, non-smoky air! Quiet surroundings! I am free again!"

"Over-dramatic much?" Toph laughed.

Katara smiled. "Let's go to that gas station, see if the guy can tell us when that girl leaves. Then we can go to the night club tomorrow and follow her vibrations."

Toph nodded, "Hey, good idea!"

"Yeah, but it'll slow us down a bit. We have a time limit, here."

Katara and Toph crossed the street, and the smaller girl led Katara over to a man with very heavy footsteps.

"Um, excuse me, sir? Do you remember me?" Toph asked.

"Course I do!" the man's voice was gruff but friendly. "I never forget a face! What can I do ya for?"

"Well, I was wonderin' if you could do a girl a favor." Toph asked confidently.

"Sure thing! Name it and you got it!"

Katara couldn't help but notice the similarities between the man and her friend.

"That girl I was here askin' about earlier... did she already head in?"

"Course! Went in a while ago. Saw her with my own eyes. Just strutted right in and disappeared in the crowd! She goes there so often she doesn't even need to show I.D. anymore!"

Katara's eyes widened. "What?"

"Oh, hey there, girlie! Say, are you friends with her?" he asked Toph.

"Very good friends!" Toph assured.

"Well, nice to meet'cha!" the man grabbed Katara's hand and shook it with much force. "I suppose you don't wanna tell me yer name, either?"

Katara raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"No, she doesn't," Toph answered for her.

"Well that's okay, then!" the man said cheerfully.

"Can you tell us when she comes out?" Toph asked.

"Sure I can," the man turned back to her. "If ya weren't such a fun person to talk to, I'd ask ya why in the world ya'd wanna know."

"It's a long story."

"Heck, I've got time. I'm stayin' here with you two until this lady leaves, after all. She always takes a dang long time."

"You know we're blind, right?"

The man scratched his head. "Well, Geez, I guess you are. I knew somethin' was up with yer eyes, the way ya never look at me and they look so distant. But I figured that couldn't be 'cuz ya sure walk like ya know where yer goin'."

"Yeah, well me and my friend are special," Toph said, nudging Katara. "But we still can't see what people look like, and that's why we need your help."

"That still don't answer why you need to find this lady."

"That part," Toph said. "Is personal."

The man didn't say anything after that, and the three sat down on crates and waited for the mysterious woman to come out.


Katara leaned on her hand and began to doze off. It had been four hours of pure and utter boredom, and the woman had yet to come out. Katara believed this was torture, the price paid for not listening to Aang when he told her to get out of the car. Would things be different if she had?

"There she is!" the man shouted, standing up.

Katara jolted up, too. Luckily, the man was only loud enough for the two girls next to him to hear.

The vibrations of a woman with light feet—but not as light as Aang's, Katara was sure—walked down the street across from them. She had just come from the night club, but her steps were sure and confident, she knew where she was going and did not seem one bit drunk.

"What was she doing in there?" Katara asked out loud.

"If we knew that," Toph replied. "We wouldn't be here."

It took a while, but finally Katara's mind fully woke up.

"We need to follow her!" she decided suddenly.

Toph grabbed her arm. "No, no, no… baby steps, Sugar Queen. It's one o'clock in the morning and I'm exhausted. We'll come back tomorrow night."

"But—"

"But nothing, you're tired, too. We need sleep before we can go chase around some random lady."

The man behind them was utterly confused. Katara could feel it.

"Fine," she gave in, noticing how tired she was, herself.

"Good," Toph grumbled. She turned to the man. "Thanks so much for the help!"

"Nothin' to it," the man replied. "Come back anytime when ya need a thing or two."

"I will," Toph promised, and with that the two of them headed back to their hotel.


Author's Note: Yup, very short. You could call it a filler, but I never really understood those. I mean, this chapter is still important, it just goes by more slowly! Hey, you don't get everything in life so easily! Some things are going to be slow and boring. Katara and Toph are definitely lucky! If this weren't a fanfic, they would have never gotten this far! Haha thank god for fiction!

It was really fun writing with such bad grammar and spelling when Toph and that guy were talking to each other! :) It's not often you can get away with that in a story. I like that guy. So friendly and trusting! haha

Reviews make me happy! :) So write away!
