These are getting more and more challenging and I'm having trouble deciding what to write about in each one. Ugh.

Day #15: Order
Characters: Lin & Toph
Setting: Before Welcome to Republic City

7/20/12

Lin looked down at her shiny new uniform proudly, while her mother stuck the police emblem onto it.

"Congratulations Lin." Toph smiled at her, and they hugged, the metal of their matching uniforms clanking together.

"Thanks mom."

The two of them left the house, and Lin got behind the wheel of their satomobile. She knew her mother hated it, but even Toph had to admit it was an easier way to get to work than walking or swinging along the wires. They talked a bit, before Lin had to hit the breaks.

"What is it?"

"Traffic."

A sly grin appeared on her mother's face. "Do it."

Lin's face mirrored her mother's as she leaned across the seat and pulled the siren out of the glove compartment. She placed it on the roof and with a nod from her mother she flicked it on. Satomobiles moved to each side and they sped by, laughing until tears streamed down their faces.

"We're here." Lin told her mother as she pulled the car to a stop and Toph reached for the handle, pulling it open and swinging her feet out. Lin always noticed how as soon as her mother hit earth, she stood a bit straighter and moved a bit quicker. She smiled to herself as she parked the car and pulled the key out of the ignition, she hadn't even known her mother was blind until she was about four years old. Their entire house was made of stone, and Toph had never shown any sign of not knowing where her daughter was or what she was doing.

She entered the building to see her mother giving orders to a group of metal benders in a harsh voice, so different from the woman who had been laughing with her in the car just a few minutes ago.

It was at that moment when Lin realized she would have to be a different person as well. She wiped the faint smile off of her face and walked up to her mother. "Do you have any orders Chief?"

Toph paused for a moment and then smiled faintly at her daughter. "Join Unit Five and go patrol the streets."

"Yes Chief." Lin reached out and gently squeezed her mother's hand before turning to follow her mother's orders and join her new unit. Toph pulled her back.

"And be safe." She whispered. "That's an order."

I have lots of Beifong feels. Just leave me alone to drown in them.
Please review!
Up next: Thanks
