Hey, should I label every chapter like "action" or "comedy" to let you know on what to expect? If so, this is a comedy mostly.

It was around midnight and the flames of the battle were still blazing in the dark and starry sky. Noku and Toph were still laying next to each other in the battlegrounds of Nanjing. They were both exhausted and weak from the long-fought Battle of Nanjing. Noku had his eyes shut while Toph’s were half open. Ito was brushing off the dirt on his long sword and was sitting on top of a destroyed tank.
“Some battle, an entire division against 3 children,” joked Noku.
“Yeah…” said Toph, still blushing from their kiss and was now in a dream world.
“We should get back to the area you’re supposed to meet Dang, Bang, or whoever,” said Ito, looking at them both.
Ito was actually trying to avoid the little scene that he saw earlier with Noku and Toph, but he has planed to use this in defense sometime in the future.
“Yeah, but it felt like when I was that….thing….it used all my energy,” said Noku, trying to get up.
“And when the electricity was going through me, it pretty much got me good,” said Toph, also trying to get up.
They both got up slowly got up and tried to regain energy. Noku felt dizzy at first and then had a dry feeling.
“Ok, now I’m thirsty,” said Noku.
“Really thirsty,” added Toph.
“Didn’t you have some in your bag at the meeting area?” asked Ito.
“Yeah, I think I can walk that far with some help,” replied Toph, looking at Noku.
“I’ll help,” said Noku, grabbing her arm and putting it over and around his neck. “I can carry you completely, but I’m too weak.”
“Whatever Fire-head, let’s just get there before the Fire Nation arrive with a whole army this time,” said Toph.
“What about the nurses?” asked Ito, looking at the nurses that were still shocked of the battle.
“Leave them, they’ll be the ones to tell the Fire Nation of this battle,” replied Noku, helping Toph walk. “And to tell of us for the future books in history.”
Ito jumped off the tank, strapped his sword back onto his back, and then they headed out of the city gates and toward the meeting place up the hill. They traveled slower and slower as the hill steepened. Noku noticed how Toph’s breathing was getting a little louder every minute and how she looked down.
“Forget it, I’m your transport now,” said Noku.
He put his other arm under Toph’s leg, lifted her, and was now carrying her up the hill like a superhero.
“You know I can walk still, right?” asked Toph, blushing as she strapped her arms around the Outcast’s neck.
“Yeah, but you need to get better; your breathing was getting louder,” replied Noku.
“Hey, Fire Nation Oma and regular-but-blind Shu, can we just get up this hill?” asked Ito, looking back at them from the front with one arm on his waist and the other just hanging in the air.
“We’re going, we’re just talking,” replied Noku.
“Whatever…just don’t go all freaky Omashu when I’m here. Great…now I have images! Get them out!!” said Ito, shaking his head like he was serious.
They finally arrived at the meeting place and Noku put Toph down slowly.
“Are you going to do that all the time from now on?” asked Toph.
“I can if you want me to, in fact, I don’t mind at all,” said Noku, stretching his arms.
“Only when I want a lift.”
The trio were now just sitting on tree stumps and waiting for the GAang to come by; which was any minute. They were all bored and Ito was looking at some turtle ducks walking by and into the pond nearby. He looked as he was about to hunt one as he was about to draw his sword from his back but then the Firebender started to talk.
“Since you call me Fire-head, can I call you a name too?” asked Noku, looking at Toph.
“No.” replied Toph, crossing her arms.
“Ok fine…Powder-puff?”
“No!”
“How about Pebble-gal?”
“NO!”
“Oh, I know a good one, Butt-kicker?”
“Better…but NO!!”
“JUST SHUT UP!! YOU 2 ARE SO ANNOYING!!! Oh, and they’re here,” said Ito quickly at the last sentence.
Appa and the rest of the GAang arrived and landed near the trio. Ito stepped back in fear as Appa was looking right at him.
“Hey guys!” said Aang from Appa’s head.
“What’s up?” replied Noku.
“You…uh…3 alright? We saw so much smoke from Nanjing,” said Katara.
“We also heard someone yelling like a hog monkey right before we landed,” said Sokka, sticking his finger in his ear.
“Yeah, we’re alright, but I think we have a new member of our gang,” replied Noku.
They all looked at Ito. He then gave a shocked look at Noku.
“Are you serious?!” yelled Ito.
“Your father is in the Fire Nation. You heard it from that officer yourself. When we get to the Fire Nation, we can look for your father along the way,” explained Noku. “Never leave your friend behind, right?”
“Thanks man…thanks,” said Ito, shaking Noku’s hand hard.
“Ok, what in the world happened today in this city?” asked Sokka.
“You don’t want to know!” said Noku, Toph, and Ito at the same time.
‘And you wouldn’t believe it either’ thought Ito, looking at Noku and Toph with the corner of his eye.
