Toph was sitting in Art, her favorite class of the day. She was making a clay sculpture. She always felt everything with her hands, that's how she worked. But she never knew how they looked to others and she never had the guts to ask. She never really cared until one girl said, "Of course the blind girl's sculpture is the worst. I mean who is surprised?"

"I think it's really beautiful." said a soft male voice.

"Who are you?" she asked

"They call me The Duke"

"That's funny, I'm Toph but they call me Melon Lord"

"Why is that?"

"I have a thing for melons. Why do they call you The Duke?"

"I honestly don't know, my friends are weird." Toph laughed, she thought this kid was cool, he was nice and was actually fun to talk to. Throughout class Toph and The Duke talked quietly while working. Toph may have blushed a few times. The two of them decded to meet up at The Jasmine Dragon after school.

Toph told Katara about her plans and Katara insisted it was a date, which it wasn't. The two girls sat on the floor of Toph's room as Katara did Toph's makeup. "How do I look?" Toph asked, a small blush rising in her cheeks.

"You look beautiful." she said kindly

"Thank you."

"You feel ready?"

"Yeah, I am. Okay hypothetically how would I know if it were, possibly a date."

"Well, what did you or him ask."

"When we were leaving class The Duke asked 'Hey I have had a really fun time talking to you, want to meet up at The Jasmine Dragon after school?' what does that mean?"

"It means, he really likes you, possibly likes you in a romantic sense."

"Possibly?" she asked sadly

"I'm not insuring that he doesn't like you that, just that he wasn't making you out right away. You can still be excited."

"Okay" she sighed

At The Jasmine Dragon Toph arrived and sat with the Duke. They talked and drank all sorts of tea, some delicious, others some found disscusting. The Duke complimented Toph's appearance a few times, Toph tried to compliment the Duke's looks, but kind of failed. When they were leaving the Duke kissed Toph's hands before he left.

Afterwards Toph called Katara and talked about the date. Katara confermend that the Duke totally had a thing for Toph and she couldn't hide some of her happiness when she heard this.
