With Aang and Toph
"Twinkletoes are we there yet? I'm starving!"
"Almost Toph" The Blind Bandit sighed and turned her sightless eyes to the starry sky. The Avatar looked back at his fourteen year old blind companion and smiled
'She really has changed in the last two years hasn't she?' It was true the Earth Rumble champion stood a little taller, she started developing what she called bumps. She now wore her hair in a pony tail instead of her usual bun. With her age came personality changes. It was hard to believe at first but Toph Bei Fong was nicer. She now smiled at cute little lion-bare cubs and helped small children with their earth bending; she even blushed a lot more.
"Hey Toph?"
"Huh?"
"Do you sometimes wish you could see?"
"… yeah I do."
"Like if you mercilessly regained eyesight what would be the first thing you'd wanna see?"
With out hesitation or thinking Toph answered "My friends. No doubt about it."
The young Avatar got up from his seat on Appa's head and sat in front of the Blind Bandit.
"Whoa Twinkles where did you come from?"
"Well Toph when a mom and dad love each other very much they get these feelings-"
"Okay Twinkles don't need to learn that again." Toph smiled and thought 'Aang always makes me smile. He's gotten older too.' The bald monk did get taller, his voice was deeper. The girls loved it when he took his shirt off. (not that it really mattered to Toph) He lost his baby face. Toph couldn't see all of that. She just saw his heart and listened to his voice.
"Toph…Toph…TOPH!" Aang clapped.
"Oh, what?"
"Give me your hands."
"Wait. Why?"
"Just give them to me." Toph was hesitant because of the seriousness in his voice, but she gave the Avatar her hands anyway.
"Twinkletoes what are you-" She was cut off by her hands being placed on the Avatar's face. "Aang?" she whispered his name.
"Now you can see me"
Toph bit her bottom lip and moved her hands around. She started on his cheeks, to his ears. She laughed "Twinkles you have big ears"
"Yeah I've heard that one before"
She smiled and moved he hands up more. "Twinkles you're balding!"
Aang laughed "Toph I've been doing that for a while now."
"Oh." Toph then moved her hands to his nose. Then finally his lips. Her fingers lingered there for a moment waiting for something. She felt Aang's mouth curl upwards into his charming fourteen year old smile that she would never see. Toph moved her hands to his chin, down his neck and they rested on his shoulders. "Aang?" she whispered again.
"Yes?"
"Now what?"
He was a little put off by her simple question. "Now… now this." Both of his hands cupped her cheeks pulling her face towards him. 'Wow no objection!'
'I'm actually about to kiss Twinkletoes.' But then Momo happened and flew down in the middle of their perfect moment. 'Well never mind!'
'Uhg… Momo you couldn't have come two minutes later!?' Toph sighed and looked away. "Oh it's a letter from Zuko!"
"What does it say?"
"Dear Aang (or Avatar Aang),
"My Uncle and I are doing well. Right after I finished reading you r letter I went shopping. (And yes Toph I got you a present. And no I'm not telling you.)-"
Toph smiled "Told you Twinkletoes!"
"Yeah whatever."
"- It's wonderful to hear that you're home is being rebuilt. How would I forget Suki's birthday? After what happened last year I remembered. Yes I'm coming; I'm getting everything set as I write. We all know that Suki will be upset when she finds out Sokka isn't coming, they haven't seen each other for a year now, and they live practically a day away from each other. Oh well. I'll see you there Avatar. (and yes I'll see you there too Toph!).
Your Friend,
Fire Lord Zuko
(but Zuko is just fine)
Oh now it looks like Aang got over his crush on Katara. Dang i'm evil to make Momo inturupt their perfect moment. Oh well.
