I may not post for THIS story until TAANG week ends.

Gal to Gal Talk

Beep-boop-boop-bop-beep-beep. Toph dialed Katara's number.

Riiiing….Riiiiing….click. "Hello?" Katara answered.

"Hey Kat."

"Oh, hey Toph."

"Are you busy? I kinda wanna talk for a bit."

"Busy? No, I'm free. What's up?"

"Well…have you noticed that Aang has been…acting strange lately?"

"What do you mean?" Katara loved asking questions.

"I mean…he's been…I don't know. You really haven't noticed anything different about him?"

"Well, you hang out with him more than I do. I think he's fine. Did he say anything to you?"

"No…well, not really to me but…" Toph paused. "…he's…acting…"

"Toph, I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong."

"Who says I need help? I just wanted to talk!"

"Okay. Calm down." Katara pleaded. "But you still have to tell me what is going on."

"Fine." Toph inhaled deeply and then continued. "You know like…he got taller in the past year."

"Yeah. Oh!" Finally, Katara began to figure out what Toph was talking about.

"And he's like…more confident. Especially around girls. Ya know what I mean?"

"Yeah, I know exactly what you mean."

"Oh, so you have noticed."

"Not with Aang. But Sokka went through the same thing. And so did the other boys in our grade back when we were younger."

"Really? Wait, so it's like…um…"

"Aang's just growing up. He's becoming like a regular guy."

"A regular guy?" Toph suddenly imagined Aang acting like Sokka and all the other jerks she knew and hoped that Katara was wrong about him.

"Trust me. Aang is fine. He's just going to be acting funny for a while, but he's fine."

"Um…okay. If you say so."

The both didn't say anything for a while.

"Are you still there?" Katara asked.

"Yeah. I'm here."

"Is there something else you wanted to talk about?" Katara started to pry.

"You know, it's not that he's just looking at girls…I'm getting worried cause…girls are starting to look at him." Toph spoke sincerely. "And you know what some of the girls are like at our school."

"Right, right. I know what you mean. You don't want Aang to fall in with a bad crowd."

"Right. It's easy for a guy to be pulled in by those kinds of girls."

"And you don't want that for Aang."

"No." Toph said.

"Look, Toph. Just stick with him. He listens to you. If you tell him to stay away from someone, he will. Just keep doing what you are doing and he'll be fine."

Another paused.

"Thanks Katara. I needed that."

"Any time Toph." "Tell her I said HI!" "Oh…and Sokka just walked in. He says Hi."

"Hi Ponytail."

"She said 'Hi Ponytail'." "It's a Wolf's Tail!"
