I sat quietly in my 'office' bending the meterior into all kinds of shapes. I was quite content with my metal bending students. Ho Tun , The Dark One, and Penga, have become great metalbenders. "Bei Fong Metalbending Academy" I liked the name. Bending the meteorite reminded me of old times, traveling the world trying to save everyone with Aang, Katara, Zuko, and... Sokka. I smiled at the thought of all of them but especially Sokka. I would never admit it but I loved Sokka. I mean a badass like me (I'm badass and I know it. K.) falling in love with a moron like him was ridiculous! But technically there was no falling. I loved him for awhile, sometime when we were bestfriends I devoloped deep feelings for him, but I knew I had to let them go. He was with Suki and I hadn't seen him for almost a year, my seventeenth birthday party.

Lost in thought I barley noticed the approaching foot steps and the loud pounding of a man's heart. I shook the thought of 'Team Avatar' and Sokka out of my head, and turned my metal chair around so that it and I faced the wall, back to the door. I wasn't expecting anyone. The door opened, and a fairly buff man was standing on the other side of my small wooden desk. "Finally the man in charge!" He said loudly. I bent the bottom of my chair so I was facing him.

"Yes?" I said not sure if I was pleased or not with being called the 'man in charge' I appreciated being reconized for my power but I had ,for the most part, grown out of my tom-boy stage.

His face dropped and his heart did something funny. (Seismic sense enables me to 'see' someone's facial expressions but jot what they look like.) As if he had just saw a ghost.

"Why, your just a teenage girl!" He chuckled.

"Did you come here to criticise the most powerful earth, and metalbender ever, or do you have a reason for being here?" I asked, while smirking slightly at my title.

"Well I did have a reason to come but instead of the man I expected to find, I found a beautiful and healthy teenage girl." His heart was racingand he had an evil smile on his face.

I gulped.

It was four o'clock everybody had left by now and I couldn't tell my students. But I knew the man was planning. And I was scared.

The man was mumbleing something. I was so scared I almost didn't notice, I felt a familiar heart beat, it couldn't be. Sokka? The person was right outside the room. Sokka! his was my chance I needed Sokka to save me. How? I thought quickly. I had the perfect plan! When I last saw Sokka he was begining his training with the Kyoshi warriors. I opened the door as soon as Sokka started to push it open.

"Sokka I missed you!" I exclaimed. The man was confused.

Sokka walked in the door and started "Toph-"

That's when I did it. What I've been wanting to do to him for almost six years, I grabbed him and kissed him. Right on the lips. I forced my body towards him. He jumped back in shock at first then he kissed me back.

Pulling away I put my arms around and whispered "Just go with it, your my husband." I faked a shiver while saying it "Trust me, help me."

Sokka as the moron he is had a confused look on his face, but for once, once, he listened to me!

He put his arm around me and squeezed a little.

"May I help you?" He inquired in a tone that made my heart flutter.

The man scruntched his face in disgust and put his head down. ".. uh... No.. sorry to bother you..." He said, he seemed terrified of Sokka!

That's when I realized. Sokka wasn't the boy, or teen I had seen at my seventeenth birthday party, he was a man. I could feel his fairly large biceps as I wrapped around his arm, it made me blush a little. And through his fur lined tunic I could feel his abs. Yeah this was really helping me get over Sokka.

The man approached the door. "Not so fast." Sokka put his hand up and stopped the man. Pulling out a knife his father had given him Sokka approached the man.

"Hey Toph, can I get a little privacy... Oh wait... Sorry" the water tribe warrior blushed a little remembering that I was blind.

"Why honey?" I asked, I was LOVING this.

"Hon-" he stopped remembering the act. "Honey, things might get a bit... Brutal." He said as if he was trying to protect me from witnessing violence with what? My... Feet?

"I'm anticipating it." I said with a huge evil-looking grin.

The man winced in fear as Sokka approached him with the blade.

"Who are you!?" He demanded.

"Yah" the man nervously replied.

"What do you want!?" Sokka demanded again

"I'm trying to be part of the Yuan, a gang. I was told if I got the owner of Bei Fong Metalbending Academy I would be a honorable member." He shrieked.

"Well honorable member you say? I know a man that would stop at nothing to obtain his honor!" Sokka hissed " Damage had been done when he realized that he had it the whole time. And lost it trying to obtain it!" Sokka was getting angrier. " I'm only gonna put a hole through your hand this time, but if I ever hear of the man with the hole in his hand, and SWT on the other, harming anyone, your gonna wish I would've killed you." Sokka seemed overcome by something. He wasn't threatening the man, he was promising him it. He took out a sword and dug it into the man's skin, digging it slowly, then once all the way through stabbing the sword through the dirt. He used the small knife and marked 'S.W.T' on the man's other hand 'Southern Water Tribe' must've been what it stood for. Sokka then dragged the bleeding man out of the building and threw him in the dirt. Who was this? This wasn't the boy Sokka I knew. This is the man Sokka. Sokka strided back to me and exclaimed "Are you ok Toph!? Did he hurt you?!"

"No, but he was about to... Thanks Sokka, you kinda... Saved me." He was the only one I would EVER say this to!

"Glad I could help." Sokka said, and with the rythm of his heart I could tell he was giving one of those huge goofy grins only Sokka could pull off.

" So what brings you to town Snoozles?" I asked.

"Well..." he started, and with the sigh he let out I could tell we had A LOT of catching up to do, and I couldn't wait.
