As a rule of thumb, I don't listen to country. But this song the rare expectation. I heard Taylor Swift's "I'd Lie" and I loved it! So I tried to write a song fic about it. I think this is a really good one.

Here goes nothing =/

I'd Lie

I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me

Sokka drove down the road, still not minding the speed limit. Toph and Aang were stuffed in the back seat of his little Mazda, too tried to be scared of his driving.

"So, who had fun today?" Sokka spoke to them mockingly, as if he was the only adult in the car.

"Shut up and drive, pony tail." Toph yelled at him.

"Thank for the ride Sokka." Aang remembered his manners, like always.

"Hey, anytime you feel like going on a roller-coaster and spending WAY too much money, just give me a buzz."

Earlier that day, Aang called Sokka, asking for a ride to the local amusement park for a day of fun. Sokka said 'no, I want to sleep', but then Aang offered to pay for gas and Sokka agreed. Aang asked if Katara would come too. Aang had hoped that she's go on the ferries wheel with him, but Katara was at a swim meet that day.

Disappointed, Aang called Toph to make it a "just friends" kind of day. Even though Katara didn't come, they all had a great time. Sokka even threw up on the Super Spinner. They stayed until the sun started to set, by which time they were both high off their own adrenaline.

"The Heart-Stopper was definitely the best ride." Sokka said.

"Please, you looked like you were going to cry on that thing." Toph smirked. The little white tiger Aang had won for her sat on her lap. "Even Aang was braver than you. He went on everything! And he kept his lunch inside his stomach."

"Yeah little buddy. You were really crazy today." Sokka said to Aang, who was still had a childish grin on.

"What can I say? I love roller-coasters! The speed…the freedom you feel on them. I remember going on one when I was a kid and…and I fell in love with it! It always feels like I'm flying."

Toph stared at Aang as he spoke. There was this glistening light dancing through his eyes, like a little boy at Christmas, full of wonder and excitement. She liked hearing him talk like that. She thought it was cute.

He tells me about his night
And I count the colors in his eyes

"Phhh. Aang, that's the lamest thing I've heard all week." Sokka interrupted, ruining the moment.

"Hey, do you believe in love at first sight?" Aang asked Toph, completely at random.

"What is that? A trick question?" Toph didn't know where he was going with it.

"No. I just…was wondering. Some people don't."

"What? Are you one of them?" Toph crossed her arms.

"I was…just wondering."

"I don't know twinkle toes! I don't think about this stuff like you do." Toph said, propping her hand on her hip.

"I believe it can happen." Aang said.

"Really?" Toph's sarcasm resurfaced.

"Yeah! I mean, I do but honestly…I don't think it could ever happen to me." Aang said as he ran his hand through his thick, messy hair.

Toph looked at him for a moment. Then she started laughing and slapped him on his back. "You're such a dork!"

He'll never fall in love
He swears, as he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong

And I don't think it ever crossed his mind

He tells a joke…

"Toph!" Aang jumped out from behind her. "I just heard a great joke!"

"That's nice." Toph finished her sentence.

"…do you want to hear it?" Aang asked.

"Is there any answer I can give so that you won't tell it to me?"

"Umm…okay, it goes like this…" Toph sighed. "…what's the strongest bird in the world?"

"I give up. What?"

"A crane!" Aang smiled. Toph's eyebrow rose. "Get it? A crane? Like an 'actual' crane, but…a…bird. Ya know?"

"Oh…that's funny Aang. Really funny."

…I fake a smile.

But I know all his favorite songs

"Dave Melillo?" Toph said as she looked through Aang's i-Pod. Aang shrugged his shoulders and smiled awkwardly.

And I could tell you

His favorite color's green

"I don't know?" Aang looked at his reflection awkwardly, unsure of how he looked.

"Trust me twinkle toes. Green is sooo your color." Toph insisted as she pushed the green baseball cap on the top of his head.

"Alright Toph." Aang giggled as he straightened the cap. "I trust you."

He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth

"My birthday is the fifteenth!" Aang yelled.

"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 pulled on his hair, feeling insanity pierce his once stable mind.

His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes

"You know, you look a lot like your father." Toph said. "I mean…Gyatso. You know, like your eyes are the same, you're like him in, um, personality. You both smile a lot."

"Uh…thanks." Aang said. A cold wind blew through his house. Toph rubbed her elbows and moved closer to Aang.

"Is it always this cold in here?" She asked.

"Just during winter…and fall." Aang noticed that Toph was unusually close to him.

"How do you guys keep warm?" Toph didn't know she wad doing it, but she slowly lowered her head onto his shoulder.

"Uh…Toph." Aang said. Toph suddenly realized where she was and jumped off him.

And if you ask me if I love him…
…I'd lie.

"You…feeling comfortable there?" Aang asked jokingly when Toph pulled away from him.

"What? No! Don't get any funny ideas airhead!" Toph defended herself.

"Okay, okay. I was just kidding around." Aang put his hands up and laughed.

"Okay, good!"

"Yeah. Come on, we're just friends." He said, assured.

He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on?

"Yeah…just friends." Toph felt sad saying that.

Doesn't he know that I've had him memorized for so long?

"Last one. Say cheese!" Aang said. The camera flashed and Toph raised her middle finger. "Oh, come on!"

"Lighten up twinkle toes." Toph smiled and the photo booth spat out their little chain of black and white photos. Aang was smiling in every picture.

And he sees everything black and white
Never let nobody see him cry

"Toph! Spill the beans girl!" Katara said giddily when she found the photos. "What happened?"

"What are you…oh for crying out loud! We were just taking a couple of goof-off pictures. Can't we do anything without you thinking we're a couple?"

I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine.

He stands there, then walks away
My God, if I could only say
I'm holding every breath for you

Toph looked in her mirror and inhaled deeply. Then blurted out "I LIKE YOU!" in one breath. "Man, if only it was that easy."

He'd never tell you
But he can play guitar

"Aang?" Toph was surprised when she heard Aang strum on Sokka's guitar. "When did you learn how to play that?"

"I've always known. But don't tell anyone." Aang winked at her and Toph felt her heart skip a beat.

I think he can see through everything but my heart

First thought when I wake up

Is 'My God, he's beautiful'
So I put on my make-up

Toph looked at her reflection and all see saw was a sloppy tomboy. She wondered if that's all that Aang saw. She picked up her hair brush, looked at her reflection again and sighed.

"Okay. Here we go." She put the brush on her head and began yanking it through her tangled locks. "OW!" She screamed after only one brush stroke. "This is going to be a long day."

A very long time passed but eventually she straightened her hair and managed to tie it in a neat bun on the back of her head.

And pray for a miracle

Aang was waiting outside for her. She saw him from her window.

She inhaled and stepped out to see him.

"Hey To…" Aang paused when he saw her new hair style. "Toph?"

"Hey…Aang." She said. One look at his face and she immediately regretted changing her look.

"You look…" Aang blushed. "…you look really good." Toph began to blush too.

Yes, I could tell you
His favorite color's green
And he loves to argue
Oh, and it kills me
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him….

"Uh…thanks?" Toph began to shake. No one ever made her nervous like Aang did.

"You didn't do that for me, did you?" Aang joked again.

…if you ask me if I love him…

Toph felt that horrible insecure feeling resurface and, impulsively, she said "Keep dreaming twinkle toes!", even though she wanted to tell him the truth.

…I'd lie.
