The Beauty of Her Blindness

Not Helpless

POV: third person

It's been about three years since Aang made peace with the world. Their group travels all around the world. Their goal is to go to everywhere across the nation. Everyone has their personal places they'd like to visit, so they make sure to map them out first. Everyone's still happy and hanging out just like before. Of course, some stuff has changed. Zuko's story is a whole completely different story though. "Alright, Alright! Who's next?" Katara asked as she moved her hand from the log they were using as a table for arm wrestling. A nice fire was going and the stars were out and shining a luminous light. "AND I WIN AGAIN!!." Sokka cheered as he grabbed Suki's shoulders and shook her aggressively. "I could beat you again." Suki looked at him. "Shhh, that was once." He whined. "Who's going against Sokka? That was his third win in a row." Aang questioned. "I guess I will." Toph stepped in. Suki looked her up and down. "You sure Toph?" Sokka said pompously. "That's what I just said idiot!" She mocked him.

Toph's POV

I need to knock some sense into that ignoramus. I sat down at the other end of the log and placed my elbow down, but it slid off, chipping some wood off the side. I felt it with my other hand and it was bleeding. "HAHAHHA, you okay Toph?" Sokka said while laughing. "Shut up Sokka." I brushed it off and put my elbow on the top without slipping this time. "Sokka, that was mean. Apologize." Katara ordered. "Toph doesn't care." Sokka replied. "Say you're sorry." Suki told him. "Fine, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Sokka said clearly sarcastically. I just knew he rolled his eyes. I was kind of nervous of losing to him in front of everyone. I felt Sokka put his elbow down and then he gripped my hand. My hand started sweating and getting tingly. I can't lose. "Alright on your marks, get set... GO!" Aang screamed. Sokka started really rough and I was losing to begin with. My arm was trembling and sweat dropped down the side of my face. Suddenly, I took the lead and slammed his hand down with no problem in no longer then a second. Everyone was shocked. It was almost like a force took over me, an air bending force. "AANG! WHY'D YOU CHEAT?" I yelled with anger while standing up. "What are you talking about Toph?" Suki questioned in confusion. "Are you all blind? Aang used air bending to help me win." I told them all. "Aang, why'd you do that?" Katara asked him. "I thought she would appreciate it." "She definitely needed it." Sokka chimed in with a laugh." I almost had angry tears. It's not worth my time. It's not worth my time. "I AM SICK OF EVERYONE THINKING I'M HELPLESS!" I screamed and everyone went silent. "I HAVE EARTH BENDING AND I AM COMPLETELY CAPABLE OF DOING THINGS ON MY OWN!" My temper was talking. But it was all true. I turned around about six feet away and bended an earth tent all around me, with no opening for the night.
