Bonding III

"I am sooo bored." Toph said. She had her feet on the top of Aang's couch and her head hanging just over the floor. Her hands slapped on her flat belly like a drum.

"What is it with you? If you're not yelling at people, you're bored." Aang said.

"Finally. You figured me out." Toph moaned. "How long have we been friends?"

"Uh…about…2 years I think. Maybe more."

"Not that long." Toph's voice trailed.

"I think that's a long time. I know a lot about you already."

"Oh really?" Toph lifted her head up, though she was still upside-down. "What's my favorite color?"

"Green." Aang looked at her emerald tank-top.

"That was an easy one. When's my birthday?"

"November 2nd. It's coming up."

"Don't remind me." Toph asked her next question before Aang could ask what she meant. "My favorite movie?"

"Uh…I don't know." Aang said and immediately felt guilty.

"See? Told ya."

"Well…what is your favorite movie?"

"I'm not telling you. A true friend would have known already."

"Come on, don't be like that. At least give me a hint." Aang groaned. Toph began whistling, holding the precious information from him. "Okay Ms. Know-it-all, why don't answer those questions?"

"What?" Toph looked in Aang's direction.

"What's my favorite color?"

"Oh. Uh…orag…" Toph saw the cross look on Aang's face and quickly said "…yellow?"

"Yep. When's my birthday?

"I know this one. It's March seventeenth." She said.

"No it's not."

"Yes it is." Toph insisted.

"Close, but my birthday is on the fifteenth." Aang said smugly.

"What? No it isn't!" Toph insisted that it was on the seventeenth.

"Yes it is! I know when my own birthday is!"

"Please. You're just saying that cause you like arguing with me." Toph said. Aang slapped his forehead. "Aren't you going to make me guess what your favorite movie is?"

"Forget it. It's Indiana Jones." Aang crossed his arms.

"Which one?"

"Lost Ark."

"Oh." Toph paused. "Mine's Clerks."

"What?"

"That black-and-white movie with Kevin Smith."

"I've…never heard of it."

"No one ever sees the good ones." Toph whined and looked away from him.

"How old is it?"

"Um…I'm not sure, but it came out a while ago."

"Okay."

"Hey! You know what we should do?" Toph sounded excited all of a sudden.

"What?" Aang asked.

"We should have a movie night. The whole gang. We each bring our favorite movies and stay up aaall night."

"Yeah!" Aang's eyes lit up when the idea crossed his mind. "I'm for it."

"Wait." Toph suddenly looked worried. "Do you know what Katara's favorite movie is?"

"Yeah. It's Sleepless in Seattle. It's a…what's wrong?" Toph held her hands in a fist over her head and stuck her tongue out of her mouth, simulating her hanging herself.

"Anything with Meg Ryan…akkk." Toph slide off Aang's couch and pretended to die.

"You're just saying that cause Katara likes the movie."

"Maybe." Toph grinned.

"What? So no movie night?"

"I'll think about it." Toph said.

"Actually, we should make it in the day." Aang said. "Cause four movies in row? If it were at night, we'd be up till the sun rose."

"So?" Toph said, like it was no big deal.

"I don't like staying up late."

"Oh, grow balls." Toph punched his knee.

"Never mind." Aang said as he rubbed his knee. There was another long pause.

"I am sooo bored." Toph moaned. Aang sighed.
