A/N – Finally getting around to rewriting my baby, I figured I should water my roots before growing some plants, if that makes any sense to you, which I hope it does since I don't feel like explaining myself to be quite frank.

Prologue

The red ball rested between them as they laid in nature's plush emerald carpet, dandelion seeds danced in the breeze; looking at the sky, the young boy sighed contently, grey clouds crept into his vision as the sky began to darken, and the playful breeze picked up a sharp bite.

She gazed softly at his features, her weak eyes scampering to take in as much of his face as she could, his content smile, his fascinated space grey eyes; she loved everything about him, he was her best friend after all and she had the luck to be his, as if she'd ever admit that to him of course, she wasn't for that sap at all. She stuck out her fist in a gesture of affection, shock graced her features as he pulled her tight to him; she'd miss the annoying goofball, even at the young age of 12, she knew he was her bestest friend and would never be anything different. Toph was brought out of her musings when the feel of damp mud made its way through her thick, ebony, hair. Her eyes widened in shock and she growled teasingly. He'd Pay! She laughed freely as she chased him around the plush meadow, kicking the fire red ball at his for good measure, cackling about being the melon lord as he fell from the impact of the blow. She ran and got a head start, recognising the competitive glint on his eye.

"Come and get me, Twinkle Toes." She taunted as she sprinted, using her naked tea navigate and search for the best hiding places, hoping to gain a tactical advantage on Twinkle Toes, she grinned as she stopped by a partly hidden boulder, perfect.

"Hey!" Aang stopped short in his running, trying to suss out where she could be hiding by bouncing from place; he stopped suddenly, sensing something from above him-

And the ball hit him again, it must've landed in a tree or something, well that's what he thought until he heard some giggling, so he took aim, and scored; his laughter resonating through the abandoned field as soon as he heard the little red small smack against what he supposed was her head.

Moments later his laughter had died down and they were both sat again, mutely as sunlight peeked through the trees. Toph gazed at him, studying his features as her jade eyes filling with sorrow.

"Aang?" she started, her unusually small voice catching his attention. "Do you have to?" She sensed his confusion and willed her voice not to break, "Go? Do you have to g-go?"

Aang gave her a sad smile, "I'll miss you" he murmured as he embraced her again

"Hugging is just a way to hide your face, Twinkle Toes" Toph laughed, tears streaming down her face rapidly. "If you don't at least write to me, I'll find you and don't think I can't still pound you; especially if you're still using that sissy fighting style of yours, Mr. Fancy Dancer" She threatened, teasingly, wiping away the tears from her face with a sniffle.

"I'll be back before you know it, Sifu T, I promise!" Aang exclaimed lightly.

"Yeah, you better be!" Toph yelled at him, punching his bicep.

"Race ya?" Aang asked, already getting a headstart.

"That's cheating especially with your freakishly long legs!" Toph called, running after him never the less.

A/N – So basically that's it, I'm sorry for any mistakes and sorry that it's so short, is it too fluffy? Sorry if it is, but basically I have a real plan for this story now and the chapters are leading somewhere instead of going in circles and creating unnecessary tension! And everyone else who enjoyed the way it was before it won't be too different, just better writing, less plot holes. Also thank you for that guest who reviewed, it made me think about what I actually wanted to do, but thanks for all of your reviews actually. I'm thinking the schools will be in a UK education type setting but a dno tbh. And sorry if Toph is a bit OOC in this one! See you soon! I'm working on Chapter two right now, and trust me i'll try not to procrastinate!

Much Love,
