⊕ 09: Dust

[She appears on the Plane with Appa and Momo again. Appa is asleep on the Plane floor and Toph is sitting back against him, cradling Momo in her lap. Momo is sitting there rather patiently, munching on some fruit and looking oblivious to his surroundings. Toph, on the other hand, looks rather subdued.]

I dunno, Momo. She's back now but...it's like she doesn't remember anything.

[And here comes the worried not!Boyfriend] Toph?

[guywaboomerang.livejournal.com]

Katara?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Lopsided smile.] Hey, Isaac.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

...Yeah.

[guywaboomerang.livejournal.com]

...And Aang, too?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

You alright?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I'm fine, just. Well, you ever met a girl here named Katara?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I haven't seen the Aang here in forever, so who knows. The Aang in my world is just glad that Katara's back.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Yeah!

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Well, I haven't seen her in the longest time, but she came back today. And she doesn't remember this place or anything.

[guywaboomerang.livejournal.com]

Haven't seen the Fire Priss either. At least there's that.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

....Oh.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

...Really? Zuko is...

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I don't even know what it means. But...I could tell she wasn't lying.

[guywaboomerang.livejournal.com]

No way to know for sure since I haven't seen him around in the real world either, but what I do know is that I can actually focus on getting ready for the invasion without worrying about him listening in.

...

[Isaac steps forward to give Toph a light hug]

Are you alright with that?

[gerogerodance.livejournal.com]

[Whoah, wait a minute, that is something Amane has never seen before. It's BIG. Gasp. And furry. Wow.]

Whoooooaaaaaaaaahhh, geroooo... [frog!jawdrop]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[She frowns a little and says nothing.]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

What's that? Another talking animal?

[And then Momo spots the froggie. Pandemonium in 3, 2--]

Wait, Momo, no!

[Momo takes a flying leap for Amane, chittering in triumph.]

[guywaboomerang.livejournal.com]

Well hey, we got Aang and Katara back, now we just gotta get this merger thing workin' and we're back on schedule, right?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[O-OMG HUGS ajkfdjakl.]

Whoa--Isaac, hey...

...I mean...of course I'm not alright with it. We fight a lot, but she...

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. That invasion's all you think about, isn't it?

[guywaboomerang.livejournal.com]

This thing is bigger than just us, Toph. Aang's gotta save the world. We don't do this right, there's not gonna be anything else to think about.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Long pause. She sighs.] Yeah, I know. I know. Things have just been so crazy lately.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

You still look up to her?
