Even the world's strongest earthbender has weaknesses and limitations, even though she would lie at their existence. Always being treated like a frail, helpless girl gave her drive to become stronger than anyone and she made sure to prove it to everyone that doubted her. Her biggest weakness became her most powerful strength as she can see better than anyone else with all of their sense in tact. Anything on this earth was within her field of view as she saw the world with her earthbending.

Her earthbending gave her the freedom from her gilded cage, a stonger sense of self without relying on appearances, and a greater connection with the people around her. Every slight shift in stance, spike in heart rate, or miniscule motion was all made apparent to her. 'The Human Lie Detector', Toph was more in touch with the world than most people even twice her age. Yet there is always one thing, rather a person, that eluded her grasp.

Lighter than the air he treads upon, Aang was a master of his own element as well. Gliding around the world as if gravity was more of a suggestion than a finite law, he carried around carefree. He would sleep on a cloud if he didn't learn firsthand that they're just made of water and would be soaked to the bone. He could move faster than the blink of an eye and touch the heavens where most people could only imagine. Yet Aang as an airbender alone would be denying the other sides of his being, and the other half of his heart.

"Get back down here Twinkle Toes!" shouted Toph in a random direction at the sky. All she could hear was the occasion shift in air currents and the faint overhead laughter from a certain airbender.

"Oh come on! Just a few more minutes. We just got here." exclaimed Aang in a cheerful tone.

Blowing her bangs out of her eyes in a huff, Toph took a seat on the ground, crossing her legs and resting her head on her hand. "When I find a way to get up there, I'm gonna yank you down myself!" called out Toph.

When he was in the air flying around, Toph could hardly pinpoint his location. As soon as she heard where his voice was coming from, he would be in an entirely different area. The one person she felt worthy enough to be an equal and even vulnerable to at times, she could never hold down for too long. So she had to become like her element and wait and listen. Letting out a defeated sigh, Toph juggled several small rocks around her hand with earthbending as she schemed of all the ways she could get back at the flighty Avatar.

Noticing the saddened earthbender, Aang made a few more loops and began his descent to the ground before a devious grin crept across his. Circling low above the ground where she was sitting, Aang used his bending to carry his voice several meters in the other direction. "Hey Sifu! Watch this!" yelled Aang in his usual happy tone.

"Oh yeah, let me just get out my binoculars and take a look." scoffed Toph as she looked over in the direction of the voice.

With Toph distracted, Aang landed right behind her, using precise airbending to walk a mere inch off of the ground. "Then watch this." Aang said in a lower, warmer tone. He touched down on the ground and crouched lower to her as he kissed her soft lips sweetly.

Shocked at the initial surprise, Toph smiled against his lips and happily returned the kiss, deepening it as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Aang pulled away for a moment and said softly, "See? I'll always return to your side. No worries Sifu, you've got me." He smiled and kissed her again.

Blushing, Toph smiled but resorted to her usual punch in the arm. "Yeah yeah Twinkle Toes, you're off the hook this time. Next time you disappear on me, I'm coming up there and dragging you back down myself."

"Sounds good to me." chuckled Aang softly.
