Tension

Toph sat on Aang's couch, arms crossed, eyes narrowed and pointed at the T.V. She was not speaking to Aang, even though she came over to his house.

Aang went in and out of the living room, jumping between his kitchen and his bedroom, trying to ignore Toph, but his kind heart and his natural sensitivity forced him to try and force conversation.

"What are you watching?" Aang asked. Toph didn't say a word.

A few minutes later, Aang tried again.

"Do you wanna get something to eat?" He asked. Toph didn't even look at him. "I'll let you pick the place." Aang smiled. Toph's eyes began to twitch, so Aang ran away.

A few more minutes passed and Aang had the nerve to sit next to Toph. Toph finally moved…away from him, a few feet towards the other end of the couch.

"Oh, come on!" Aang whined. "What did I do?" Toph juggled her tongue inside her mouth, poking the insides of her cheeks. "How about a hint? Just…tell me what I did and I'll fix it."

"Did you call that girl yet?" Toph finally spoke.

"What?" Aang asked, but Toph didn't answer. "Who? Meng? No. Is that what you are mad about?"

"She's too young for you." Toph still didn't look at him.

"Yeah. I know. That's why I didn't call her." Aang said.

"You don't get it."

"Then explain it to me!" Aang yelled. He was starting to get fed up with Toph and the icy chill coming off her cold shoulders.

"Forget it." Toph tilted her head slightly away from Aang, so that she couldn't even see him in her peripherals.

"Seriously, what is going on? You've been acting so weird." Aang said. With that, Toph's head twisted around and she finally looked at Aang.

"Oh! I've been acting weird, huh? I've been acting weird? What about you?"

"What about me?"

"I don't know if you noticed it, but you've changed too, twinkle toes. You're slowly starting to act like all the other guys out there."

"What?" Aang had no idea what she was talking about.

"What was with that older girl in the mall last week?" Toph asked. She caught him staring at a taller, more mature girl the last time they ate out.

"What? I can't look at a girls anymore?" Aang tried to act nonchalant, but his cheeks turned red.

"You just don't get it, do you?"

"You're not telling me what I did wrong?"

"I JUST DID!" Toph yelled. "I don't want you turning into one of those meat heads like Sokka or his other moron friends. All they ever do is talk about dating and girls and…they are a bunch of idiots."

Irate, Aang stood up and glared down at her.

"Why are you acting like this?" He demanded to know. "You never use to be this way. You're…like, WAY moodier. Seriously, I can't do anything without you biting my head off."

"You really are thick skulled, you know that?" Toph stood with, shoving her face next to his. She was amazed that he didn't understand what she was saying.

"Yeah, insult me. Very typical. Can't you go one day without being a bitch?" Aang didn't back down, for once. He couldn't believe that Toph was so overly sensitive.

"Screw you!" Toph pushed him and walked towards Aang's door. "Stay here by yourself, playa'. I'll see you in hell!" And with that, Toph slammed his screen door so hard it nearly fell of its hinges.

Aang closed the thick door behind her, slamming it too. He ran up to his room and slammed that door too. For once, he was happy to be alone.

YIKES! Even I didn't think things were going to be that bad.

But here's the good news. The next chapter is going to be very special…at least to me.

I don't know when I will post it though. School is starting to act up, ya know.
