had a couple of people who wanted to show Maya who's boss. please R&R

Toph Beifong walked into her daughter's school, a scowl in place. "Damn kid getting into fights. I have better shit to do… Like Sokka." She walked into the school's office, metal clanking as she walked. "I got a call from the principal, she wanted to see me."

"Yes. Please, take a seat." The secretary gestured to the chairs that were made for children.

"You have got to be kidding me."

"Hello Toph." Said Katara, arms folded over her chest.

Toph took a seat next to her. "Hello Sugar Queen. Please tell me she didn't punch junior."

"I have no idea. An acolyte told me I needed to go to the school's office, as Tenzin was there. I didn't get any details. Who's looking after Su?"

"Sokka is home today, so they're bonding. Meanwhile I'm here instead of beating up criminals or having fun with Sokka." Toph smiled at the last part.

"Too much info."

Another woman walked into the office, clearly the business type. She sat next to Toph, taking in the appearance of the two women waiting 'patiently' for the principle.

"Are you and Sokka coming over for dinner?"

"Yeah, I have to talk to Aang about a case."

Katara perked up about the new information. "What is the case about?"

"No can do sweetness, it's classified."

"Chief Beifong, Master Katara, Layla, please step into my office." Principal Hana stepped aside, allowing the mothers access to her office. "Please have a seat."

Toph glared at her daughter, taking a seat next to her. "This had better be worth it Lin." Lin shrunk away from her mother's glare. "So principal Hana, what did this delinquent do?"

"Well there are two stories. The first being, that Maya pushed Tenzin to the ground, resulting in Lin punching her in the face. The second being, that Maya was minding her own business when Lin apparently attacked her." She eyed the children sitting before her. "I have no idea who is telling the truth."

"My Maya would never hurt Lin, nor would she hurt another human being." Layla said, stroking her daughter's hair.

Toph scoffed. "I'm not denying that Lin punched Maya but she wouldn't hurt someone without a reason. That can only lead me to believe that Maya is lying."

"We have no way to tell who is lying, so I have no other choice but to suspended everyone for one week." Principal Hana stated, pulling the required paper work onto her desk.

"Actually principal Hana," Katara interrupted her actions, "Toph has the ability to tell when someone is lying."

Toph cracked her fingers, siting up in her chair. "Looks like I'm going to get my interrogation after all." She turned to Lin. "Tell me exactly what happened."

Lin let out a sigh. "Tenzin and I were talking in the school yard, when Maya came up to me and started teasing me."

"What about?" Toph interrupted.

"My hair"

"The truth Lin"

"She was teasing me about how I didn't have a father and that you were blind."

Toph let out a shallow growl. "How often does this happen?"

"Nearly everyday. We started yelling at each other. Tenzin tried to break us up but Maya pushed him to the ground, so I punched her, and Tenzin is in trouble for slapping me. He thought it would knock some senses into me." Lin looked down at the ground in shame.

"I see. Well there is no point in interrogating Maya, it's obvious she is the real bully." Toph said.

"That's not fair!" Layla shrieked. "We didn't hear Maya's side of the story yet."

"There's no point, but if you insist. Maya, what is your version of what happened?" Toph rested her head on her hand, knowing anything that comes out of the girl's mouth will be a lie.

"I was minding my own business-" Maya started.

"Try again."

"I was with my frien-"

"Pfffft. Kid, what part of I can tell when you're lying, don't you understand? Let me ask you a question. Do you have a problem with people who have disabilities? Or is it just me?" Toph leaned forward in her chair.

Maya began to sweat under her sightless gaze. "Mu- mum told me people with, um, disabilities don't have a place on this world. That they, uh, umm, are a waste of space and air."

"Laddies… and Tenzin, we now have the truth."

Layla sat there, shocked at what had just came out of her daughter's mouth. "I uh, umm."

"Can it. Principal Hana, how are we doing this?"

She shook herself out of her shocked state. "Right, well in light of what happened, Tenzin and Lin are suspended for a week for violence. Maya is suspended for two for violence and bullying. I will see to it we put an end to the teasing but there is only so much we can do." She pushed the paper towards each parent, requesting them to sign the required paperwork.

"I take it we are signing stuff. Katara, mind signing mine?" Toph said, standing up from her seat. "Lets go Lin. I need to talk to you. See you tonight Katara."

"See you later Toph."

Toph and Lin walked the streets or Republic City, back to their house. "Left hook or right hook?" Asked Toph, a smirk on her face.

"Right hook. Gave her a black eye to." Lin replied, mimicking her mother's smirk.

"I know I shouldn't condone violence, cause Sugar Queen says that's bad parenting but I gotta say, that kid totally deserved it. I just wish I got to punch her mother. So when we get to Air Temple Island, what do we tell Katara?"

"No earthbending or desert?"

"Bingo."
