Avatar: the Last Airbender: Continued
Chapter 6: Toph's Day of Fun
A/N: Hello! I've decided that the next four OR five chapters will also do the same rotation, Toph, then Katara, Sokka, Zuko, and lastly, Aang.
Toph sat, once again, on her throne. That was basically all she did, but it's not like anyone cared. Everyone knew Toph had done enough, she helped defeat the Fire Nation with only something like 6 other kids near her age, including the Avatar. No one cared what work she did and what work she didn't do.
"Ugh! SOOOOOOO BOREEDDDDD!" Toph screeched, "I'm leaving the palace for a while, I'll be back around sunset,"
Toph was happy that she could go wherever she wanted to now. Her parents knew she could protect herself and even enjoy herself, by herself. She didn't need parents. She helped defeat Ozai! She was the best Earthbender in the world!
Toph walked out of her royal palace from the front entrance, facing directly towards the other royal palace, the Earth King's palace.
She walked down the steps, too lazy to earthbend. When she got down, she looked at the huge city in front of her, where to go?
First, she went to the spa she had gone to with Katara. She did the exact things she had done before, make herself look like a monster using the mud, things like that. But without Katara, it wasn't fun. She was half bored to death by all the massagers saying, "Oh my word! It's Earth Queen Toph!" and them acting so fancy. They knew her as a queen, not a human being. Only her friends knew her as the person she really was, a fun-loving, mischievous girl with no boundaries. Except ice, she couldn't see when she walked on ice. That reminded her of something. Waterbending. There was one thing Toph had been wanting to try with earthbending since the day she found out Katara was a waterbender. She wanted to move earth like a wave. Even though it wouldn't be as flexible and free as water, it would do, considering she couldn't waterbend.
Toph left the spa after two hours. She came out all fresh and pretty. She barely ever felt that way. It felt weird, but surprisingly nice. As she was walking back, she heard girls laughing. She could tell they were laughing about how she looked. Why does this always happen to me?, she thought. She turned around.
"Earth Queen Toph!" the girls gasped, "Uhh, we're sorry, we didn't mean-" one girl talked while the others nodded.
Toph just kept walking. This time, she didn't care about her makeup, and she wasn't crying. She thought she was strong before, but now she was probably as strong as rock.
"Earth Queen Toph! We're sorry, we really are!" the girls said as Toph walked with her back toward them.
Once again, she turned around.
"Are you sorry? Are you really? You laugh at me and then when it turns out that I am royalty you say you're sorry? No you're not! You're not sorry at all! If I were some normal rich girl, like I was a year ago, you wouldn't be sorry at all! You know what I call you people? Stuck-up snobby rich girls who think they're so cool that they can do whatever they want, make fun of whoever they want, and make whoever they want to feel bad! If you have a problem with that, you can leave, but you're not worth arguing with so I don't want to hear your voice! Got that? Or do I have to explain again?" Toph screamed, "Now get out of here before I get really angry!" As the girls ran away, Toph picked up some earth from the ground and focused on a wave. She then created a stiff wave with earth and shot it towards the girls, the girls screamed and rolled on the wave, Toph made sure not to hurt them. Toph turned the wave and pushed them into the shallow stream.
"Ughhhhh! EEEEKKKK!" the girls screamed. They had mud on their faces.
"How's that for a makeup job?" Toph screamed toward them.
Toph knew that everyone would think that it would be "inelegant" to do this to these girls, but she didn't care, after all, she was a queen.
When Toph got back to the palace, she found a message on her throne. Apparently, nobody saw that there. She picked it up.
It was from Aang.
