Earth and Fire [Toph Beifong x OC]

Sozin's Comet

It has been around a month since the invasion. Zuko, Sokka, and Suhara rescued Hakoda and Suki from the Boiling Rock. Katara finally came to face the man who took her mother away from her thanks to Zuko's help. Now Team Avatar rest at the royal family vacation on Ember Island.

At the front of the beach house on Ember Island. Aang was sparring with Suhara for his fire-bending lessons. Zuko watches him throw punches at Suhara while he guards with his fire bending.

Zuko: More ferocious. Imagine striking through your opponent's heart.

Aang sent one last first blast before groaning, turning to Zuko.

Aang: I'm trying.

Suhara: (Relaxes his stance) Well, your not trying enough.

Zuko: Now let me hear you roar like a tiger-dillo.

Aang spun around, letting out a tiny roar and a small blast of fire from his hands and mouth. He looked back at Zuko.

Zuko: That sounded pathetic. I said roar!

Aang let out a louder roar, blasting more fire. Momo chattered as he rushed behind Zuko, grabbing his leg for comfort. Both fire benders nodded in approval.

Katara: (Holding up two watermelons, each with a straw sticking out the top) Who wants a nice cool glass of watermelon juice?

Suhara: Sure! (Walking up to Katara)

Aang: Ooh, ooh! (Rushing over) Me, me, me!

Zuko: Hey, (Grabbed the back of Aang's toga before he could get far) your lesson's not over yet! Get back here! (Lifting Aang's toga, pulling him off the ground)

Aang: Aww. Then why is Suhara allowed to get one?

Zuko: He's done sparring here!

Suki: Come on, Zuko. Just take a break. What's the big deal?

Zuko: (Letting Aang go) Fine! (The air bender rushed to grab the beverage) IF you want to lounge around like a bunch of snail-sloths all day, then go ahead! (Walks away)

Sokka: Maybe Zuko's right. Sitting around the house has made us pretty lazy. (Stands up) But I know just thing to change all that. (Takes off his robe, revealing a bathing suit) Beach Party!

He then took off at a run towards the beach. The rest of Team Avatar looked at each other before taking off towards the beach. Sokka had entered the water with a splash. He then surfaced with seaweed on his head and blows water from his mouth. He grins goofily. Katara used waterbending to make an ice surfboard and surfs on the water. Suki watches Sokka grab some seaweed and bring it to an area. He takes two buckets and fills them with water. Aang sticks the last piece of wood on a life-sized sand sculpture of Appa, finishing the last horn.

Aang: Check out my Appa sand sculpture.

Appa roars at the sculpture.

Toph: Not bad Baldy. But I've been working on my sandbending. (Cracks her fingers then her neck) You're gonna love this.

Toph cracks her knuckles and uses sandbending to create a sand sculpture of the city of Ba Sing Se. Aang and Suhara look down at the replica's details.

Suhara: (Impressed) Ba Sing Se.
