Writer's Note: Written for Angel, who wanted Sukka/Toph shenanigans! It occurs post series, but only has tiny spoilers.
Bad Idea
"I know I said this, but this is probably a bad idea."
Suki snorted. "Since when are you the pessimist? And besides, of course it's a good idea - it's mine."
They were hiding behind a wall, quite a distance away from Iroh's teashop. They were waiting, their eyes trained on the front door.
"This probably won't even work," Sokka went on. "And these stupid shoes hurt my feet!"
Suki rolled her eyes, though she had to privately admit that the thick, heavy wooden shoes were hurting her feet, too. "Just shush. Look! There she is! Shut up!"
He opened his mouth to protest, but she covered it, promptly shutting him up. Together with held breaths, they watched as Toph waved to Iroh and strutted out of the teashop, a wide grin on her face. In the other hand she held a paper bag stuffed with dough fritters.
As they watched, she walked towards them while whistling a tune - one that they both recognised as a very dirty and extremely offensive bar song. Both had to swallow their laughter.
The moment she was merely steps away, the two of them jumped out and started to shriek out, "GOTCHA!" However, before they were even able to get the word out, they found themselves on their asses, the stone ground beneath their feet shifted in order to trip them.
"How did you know?" Sokka demanded, sounding extremely offended. "We were wearing wooden shoes!"
Toph blew her bangs out of her face, grinning. "Guys, I'm blind, she snorted. "But I'm not deaf."
"Told you it was a bad idea," Sokka sulked. Suki flicked his nose in reply. It probably was, but it was still pretty damned funny.
