Flying along at the in the relatively clear sky, Appa was no longer alone in the skies. There were the few ships that pass them by but it was very seldom that any did so. It was not that strange any more really as they were recover from what is now being referred to as the Battle at Wulong Forest. If the Fire Nation could take a simple hot air balloon and create a fully functioning fleet of warships within just a couple of months. Then getting some the ship that relatively still intact to fly again was too easy.

Though the few ship flying around at the moment were just one that Zuko had used to spread the news that the war was over to everyone from all the nations. The Earth Kingdom was huge so to end the fighting as quickly as possible. Ships were used to speed up the process and also prevent any possible misunderstanding from those not aware the war was over yet.

What did this have to do with anything you might asked. Truthfully it had nothing to do with anything related to those flying on Appa at the moment. The only reason one of the passengers the flying bison, that being Toph Bei Fong, was even thinking these things as the moment was because she was trying whatever she could think of to distract herself from the couple on board.

The couple that seem to forget that she was here with them. The couple that seem to making up for lost time as Katara had been dancing around Aang long enough it seem. Once he made his latest move it seem that it truly stuck this time around thus the current setting was the result. So Toph who because she could not 'see' at the moment could hear everything they were doing even better as result.

'This has to be one of the only times I have actually been glad to have my feet off the ground' Toph thought

If hearing them was effect her this much then it would have been even worse if she had been able to 'see' them as well.

Thus when ship past by them she took the chance to focus all her attention towards it and everything that she could think of about that did not bring any bad memories she had connected to those flying machines. She had near death experience the last time she was on one. Hanging there with her only lifeline being Sokka whose managed to grab not only her but pole keeping them both from pummeling to their death. Which would have happened anyway if not for Suki arrive to save them.

Once it was out of range, she used her hearing to try and pick on something anything that would use to continue distract her mind. That when she picked up the familiar sound of a messenger hawk coming towards them.

"Hey guys guess who coming towards us" Toph call out to them purposely not looking their general direction.

"We are flying on Appa and there no ships around for far was we can see. So just who can be coming towards….waiting how can you even tell someone coming. We are on Appa at the moment" Aang asked.

"I have incredible hearing too. I am just full of amazing traits that go far beyond my skills as a bender" Toph told him.

Aang did not notice that the whole time she said this that she was facing away from him as even when truly blind while on Appa. She would at least look in the direction that she thought the person she was talking to was.

Shortly after this short conversation between the two of them. Hawky, Sokka pet's messenger hawk landed in Appa's saddle. Becoming the center of attention the three them crowd around the hawk with Aang helping Toph over there. With Bei Fong girl glad that her bangs were covering most her face more the normal at the moment to hide her blush on her face at Aang's hand holding her own.

"What happened to Hawky anyway as one day he was just gone. Sokka spent a decent amount of time looking for him before I managed to convince him that he was just gone" Aang asked.

"You see we did not tell my brother that the two of us sent him to Toph's parents. Giving them a letter that told them exactly what was going on to try clear up the misunderstanding they had" Katara told her boyfriend.

"Hopefully they understood that I did not kidnap you or that the whatever letter you had sent was real" Avatar said.

"Like you could kidnap me" Toph said with a laugh.

"Yeah there no way Aang would be able to capture you more like the other way around. Also it not like it was love at first sight either as at first it just seem like you wanted to see the world. What better way to do that then to be the Avatar's earthbending teacher" the water tribe teenager said jokingly.

"Of course" Toph said weakly

It was not love at first sight but she did feel something towards Aang when they first met. Something that just cause her to be drawn to him in a manner unknown to her. This unexplainable feeling she had at first could possibly why she told him so much that night the three of them show up at her house. She had not even known him a full day yet and she had already told him about her seismic sense and how it worked.

Thinking back on it maybe her love for Aang was always there even before her crush on Sokka. It was possibly that as she started liking Sokka as her mind's way of keeping her thoughts away from those initial thoughts she had of Aang. Suki fully joining the Gaang just cause to become aware of them as she might have even trying connecting with Zuko. That why she wanted her own life changing trip with the firebender that everyone else had. Life changing in that she would either get over her feeling for Aang or something else would change in her life. No such luck as he just seem to brush her off as she talked about her life (not in rude way as they were suppose to looking for Aang at the time).

"So what does the message say" she asked curious as to what her parents might have to say to her.

"Why do you think there is a message" Katara said posing her own question.

"Well Hawky is a messenger hawk that implies he is a hawk with a message. I am sure he did not come all this way to simply greets us for no reason at all" Toph replied back.

Feeling a little embarrassed, she looked to Aang to see if there was one to be read. Which in deed was and it was quite the interesting one indeed.

"Seem that your mother wants to meet us not at your home in Gaoling but somewhere else. I do not know how but she apparently knows that we are coming" he said.

"Well I am a war hero and its possible that the news that I wanted to come back home got back to my parents somehow. There were probably people trying to listen in on the Jasmine Dragon that day after all you had the world's greatest earthbender there" she said

"Oh there was also you and the new Fire Lord as well" she added as she might not being able to see but had feeling Aang would left out.

"Anyway according to this message there a lot she want to talk to you about and she can not wait to start" Katara said having taken from her boyfriend to look it over herself.

"Also the place she talking about does not even seem that far from where we are now either. There are direction on listed in regard on how to get there" Aang said while airbending himself to Appa's head in order to give him the new directions.
