See kids what happens when you lie?

"So, where do you want to go first?" I asked Zuko. We were walking, thorough the streets of Ba-Sing Se.

"Thanks, Toph," Zuko said, "You saved me back there, those girls were getting annoying."

"Oh, no problem," I punched him in the arm, "Yeah, you owe me one, Sparky."

"Yeah, isn't this payment enough?" he said.

I stopped walking, "What?"

"I was kidding Tophy. Why so sensitive?" he joked.

"I AM NOT SENSITIVE!" I yelled, putting on a show.

"Quiet down Toph, you're making a scene!"

"I am not sensitive," I said, I earth bended a wall of rock over my head. "I am a rock."

"Tooooph," he warned, "You're making a scene!"

"Rocks don't make scenes," I said, smiling inside my barricade.

"Alright alright Toph, goodness, you're not sensitive, will you come out now?"

I slightly speed the rock, and came out. "Ok, now what?" He let out a sigh of relief, "People were starting to stare."

I pulled a face, "Zuko, I can't see those people, what makes you think I care if they stare at me."

He grumbled a little.

"I want some tea," I said.

I could feel him turn to me and I could feel the beginnings of a smile.

"And, I know just the place."

I took his hand and began to run. We ran through the streets and I could hear the people yelling, and cursing and laughing at us for running so fast.

"What does the sign say?" I asked, smirking. I already knew what it said.

I could feel the happiness radiating off his face. "The Phoenix King."

"Hmmm…" I said sarcastically. "Now, whoever could be the owner, of this fine establishment?"

"You know who Toph. Thank you."

"Well, go inside! I didn't bring us all the way here to stand outside, and for you to gawk at the sign!"

He led me inside, and walked up to the counter.

"Hi uncle," Zuko said. I could still feel his happiness.

"ZUKO!" his uncle yelled.

I politely stepped out of the way, for the two to have a nice reunion.

"Uncle, I haven't seen you in so long!"

It was true, after the war, Zuko had been so busy with his Fire Lord duties, that he had absolutely no time to visit anyone, or do anything other than save that nation from its fiery death. That's where he adopted the name, The Phoenix King, he need to re-birth the fire nation from the ashes.

After the two men finished hogging, Iroh turned to me. "Toph! I haven't seen you in just as long!"

Then, he turned and hugged me too. I was a little taken aback, and before accepting the hug, it took me a few seconds to regain composure. Then, I warmly returned his embrace.

"Oh, Iroh! It's been too long!"

He let me go, and brought us some tea. He turned to a girl, who looked about my age, and said to her, "Would you mind being in charge for a bit? This is Zuko, my nephew who I've been talking about. And this is the strong blind little girl who I've been talking about as well. Well, she isn't such a little girl anymore, is she Zelda?"

Zelda smiled, "No, I don't think she is. And yes Iroh, I'd be glad to give you some time off. Enjoy it."

"Uncle, apparently, Katara is throwing a masquerade ball tonight, we can catch up then, and you can stay with us at the Earth Kingdom palace, if you'd like."

"Katara's throwing a masquerade ball? Why didn't I know about it?!" I said.

"I just found out today, Aang told me, but I don't think he was supposed to tell me. He got all clammy after he did and ran away."

"How is everyone?" Iroh asked.

"Good, good, everyone's fine." I said, "I can't believe she didn't say anything about it to me." Being left in the dark, no fun.

"She probably didn't say because she knows you'll react like this," Iroh said, speaking his Iroh wisdom.

"Why would she even have to throw a ball anyway? Kind of out of the blue, huh?"

A/N- Yeah, yeah I know, the WORST possible place to stop, but, I have big plans for this story! R&R! (just in case you didn't know, Zuko was the last person to talk)
