‘what the hell is he doing?!’ Toph yelled in her head as she groaned and rolled over, covering her ears with the palms of her hands.
Tap tap tap
‘God damnit Sokka!’ she started banging her head on the ground in rhythm to the annoying tapping that Sokka was making.
Tap tap ta- “Will you stop that flipping racket!?” she yelled, stomping out of her earth tent and stomping moodily over to where the young swordsmen sat, making something. “What, may I ask, is so important that you feel the need to wake me up with that god forsaken tapping?!” Sokka didn’t answer immediately but instead kept working.

“SOKKA!” Toph yelled, annoyed that he was ignoring her. “Sokka, if you don’t answer me I swear I wi-” she was cut off, and as Sokka pulled his lips away from hers laughed,
“You know, you talk way to much! I was making you birthday present!” he yelled happily, “Happy 16th birthday!” Toph smiled then asked confused,
“you… remembered my… birthday?” Sokka just smiled then wrapping his arms around her waist asked softly in her ear,
“What kind of boyfriend would I be if I forgot my own girlfriend’s birthday?” Toph shrugged, leaning into him slightly before she laughed out,
“So what did you make me?” she turned to face him, a smug smile splitting her face.
“Ruin the moment won’t you?” Sokka sighed, rolling his eyes, but laughing while he pulled something out of his pocket. He took her hand and laid it down softly, she looked down confused then asked,
“What is it?”
“It’s a necklace. The stone on it is made from the very meteorite my sword is, and your armband.” he whispered.
“A necklace? Wait, where did you find the meteorite? I thought it was gone.” Sokka smiled slightly then whispered, helping her put it on.
“I made a few arrangements and found some of it, I wanted the necklace to be perfect… because… well… I love you and…” he turned her to face him and asked her softly, blushing, “Toph Bei Fong, will you marry me?”
Toph’s sightless eyes widened and she gasped, “Wh- of course! Yes!” she yelled, throwing her arms around him and thinking, ‘This is the BEST birthday ever,’ before crashing her lips down hard against his, knocking him backwards.
“Okay class, you will have 45 minutes to finish your tests,” Sokka’s short Math teacher said, looking at the class, “You may begin, now.” at that you could hear people flip there papers over and pencils scraping on the desks. Sokka sighed and smacked his head on the desk, causing his friend Zuko to look over at him confused. Sokka sent him the ‘I-forgot-to-study’ look. Zuko rolled his eyes and mouthed, ‘What, out with Toph again last night?’
Sokka smiled sheepishly and nodded, which made Zuko laugh silently. “Sokka! Zuko! Concentrate on your tests!” Zuko’s girlfriend Mai hissed at them, nodding they went back to the test.
Sokka groaned, how was he supposed to know the square root of 500?! 40 minutes later he looked up at the clock. His eyes widened, only 5 minutes left! He heard a snicker from beside him and looked over. Zuko stuck out his tongue and turned his paper over. Sokka smacked his head on the desk again and wrote down random numbers for the last 15 questions. “Times up! Pass your papers forward” Mr. Pong said.
“ugg, I hate math!” Sokka sighed as they made there way to there lockers, which happened to be side by side.
Zuko rolled his eyes and laughed, “you’re the one who didn’t study!” Sokka opened his locker and said defensively,
“It wasn’t my fault! Toph called and wanted to hang out!” throwing his books in his book bag he slammed his locker shut. “Speaking of Toph…” at that he smiled as his girlfriend walked over. Her green Ipod in one hand and her dark green and black skull book bag in the other, a sucker stick sticking out of the side of her mouth.
“What’d Toph do?” she asked wrapping the arm carrying her book bag around Sokka’s waist, “Lemme guess, you failed your math test? You only blame other people when you fail a test or something, well at least that’s the only time you blame your girlfriend.” she laughed.
(A/N the thing about him hitting his head on the desk is true . , my friend from 6th grade didn’t remember that we had a math test and at lunch she told us that when she got the paper she hit her head on the desk, cursing (under her breath of course) and it made my other friend who sits beside her look over and laugh.)
‘Life, it’s a lie,
Dreams, they die,
Love, it disappears
Replace with tears.’
‘This can’t be happening, can’t be…’ she thought sadly, but it was, and she couldn’t stop it…
“Sokka? Come out please.” Katara said softly, knocking on his door softly, “Please…”
“No.” came his gruff reply, his voice laden with tears, “I can’t… I… I just can’t.” Katara sighed and pushed open the door, her long blue gown brushing behind her, “Katara, please, just leave.”
“Sokka,” she whispered, seeing him spread out on his bed, still In his warriors outfit, “get dressed, can’t you be happy for her? I mean it’s her wedding day!” Sokka snorted and Katara looked at him confused, “What?”
“Katara,” he said, turning to look at her, “do you honestly believe she loves him?! How could they do this to her?! Huh?! Marry off their only daughter to someone 3 times her age! This is so unfair!” he screamed at the frightened waterbender, tears threatening to fall. “this can’t be happening.” he sighed falling to his knees and looked up at Katara sadly.
“Sokka… It’s tradition--”
“Ya, well, tradition sucks.” Katara walked over to the 18 year old warrior hesitantly. “I-It’s j-just…” he sighed and trailed off.
“I know… but it’s her parents wishes.” Sokka stood up, but fell back on his bed a second later, “Please, you need to come out, she’s been asking to see you… well… begging them to let her see you.” Katara whispered. Sokka closed his eyes and asked softly,
“What did they say?” No answer, he opened his eyes with a sigh, “They’re afraid I’ll try and stop her, aren’t they?” Katara nodded. That was it for Sokka, he stood up, fists clenched, “Well this is just going to piss them off more, I love her, and I’m going to tell her.”
‘What am I doing?’ Sokka asked himself as he stood out side her bedroom door, taking a deep breath he knocked on the door softly, peeking inside he noticed the room was completely empty.
Shocked he went in, the window was opened but other than that the room was the same as all the others, that is until he noticed a note pinned to the wall by the window. Taking it off he read what it said,
“I hope this gets to you Sokka, goodbye, I hope we’ll meet again but for now I must leave, I can’t stand my parents anymore, I’m headed to Omashu, Please remember I… I love you, and always will,
Goodbye, My Love,
Toph Bei Fong
“Are we there yet?” Toph asked, yet again, “Hello, Sokka? Are we there yet?” Sokka groaned inwardly, she had been asking the same question since they left to go on this vacation, 4 hours ago.
“No, we are not there yet.”
“Oh, ok…” she paused then five minutes later asked again, “are we there now?”
“Toph… If you ask one more time, I swear I’ll…” he trailed off and just continued walking in silence. Toph on the other hand grinned wider then running to catch up with him again said, in the most serious voice she could manage,
“Ok, ok, one more question, and this is a serious one… Are we there yet?” with that she took off laughing as Sokka screamed her name and yelled annoyed,
“I mean it! One more time and I swear I’ll--”
“You’ll what?” she asked skipping ahead just out of his reach, “You wouldn’t do anything, Snoozles, and you know it. Your to much of a pushover to!” she taunted, not noticing that she had stopped of that Sokka had caught up with her, “Aaaaaaand… you--”
“I told you… one more time.” Sokka whispered as he pulled his lips away from hers, as she sat there blinking in confusion.
“Did- did you just… kiss…me?” Toph stammered.
“I told you, one more time.” at that she smiled slyly then taking a deep dreath said,
“Oh, ok… are we there yet?”
“Toph…” he sighed, with a laugh, rolling his eyes smiling,
“Are we ther--”
“I heard you the first time.” He whispered before pulling her in for another kiss.
