Crossdressing


“Toph?”

“Hmm?”

“Have I told you how much I hate you right now?”

“Yeah. Once or twice.”

“Great. I just wanted to make sure you knew.”

*~*~*~*~*~*

20 Minutes Ago:

“Hey Toph?” I was lying down on the ground, fiddling with a piece of grass.

Toph grunted to let me know I had caught her attention. She was doing some fancy earthbending move that apparently required a lot of concentration.

“Do you want to go out with me?” I continued fiddling with the grass until I heard the sound of earth hitting the ground. I looked up at her.

She was frozen, hands outstretched in an earthbending position. “W-what?” Her voice rose about three decibels. She cleared her throat noisily.

“I said, do you want to go out with me? Like on a date?” Just to get one thing clear, I know I sounded totally cool and awesome, but inside I was a nervous wreck. Biting nails, pulling hair out by the roots sort of nervous.

Toph seemed to have regained some composure. But, I noticed as I sat up, her face was looking a little more flushed than usual. “I don’t know, Sokka. I only date tough guys.” Her voice was still a little shaky, but her humor and sarcasm was quickly returning.

“I’m tough!” I flexed my muscles before I remembered that she couldn’t see me.

Toph smirked and dropped down across from me. Her smirk said it all. It was completely a ‘yeah right and I’m a super powered blue octopus’ kind of smirk.

“Really!” I really did want to go on a date with her. I had been meaning to ask her for a long time.

Toph leaned back on her arms, smiling in a slightly evil way. I internally gulped. This would not turn out well.

“Snoozles, I don’t date just anyone. You have to be tough.”

I smiled. I was tough.

“You have to be funny.”

Funny? I was hilarious!

“And you have to be immune to embarrassment.”

I was so immu-wait. Immune to embarrassment? I knew I wouldn’t like where the conversation was going.

Toph smirked wider, knowing she had caught me.

“I am so immune to embarrassment,” I said, lying through my teeth.

“Nice try. You’ll have to prove how you stand up to embarrassment. It’s like a girl code not to go out with anyone that gets embarrassed easily.”

“Really?”

“Of course!” Toph stood up. “And I have the perfect way to make you completely immune to embarrassment.”

“You do?”

“Of course. Follow me.” And, being the super nice person that I am, I did. Plus, I still really wanted that date.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

You know what? I think I’ll pass on the whole date part. I think that Ty Lee once said I was cute. Maybe she’s available. Because there is no way that I am doing the ‘proving that I’m immune to embarrassment’ thing.

There a dozen reasons for this but the main one was that I was SO not wearing one of Toph’s earthbending uniforms.

She was holding it up and smiling widely.

“Um, sorry. Not happening. I am not wearing a dress again.” I folded my arms resolutely. Too late, I realized my mistake.

“Again?” Toph giggled a bit.

I fumbled for something to say. “Well it wasn’t really a dress! It was a warrior’s uniform!” But I don’t think she believed me.

Toph tossed the tunic at me. “If you’ve worn a dress before, than this is no problem. This isn’t even a dress, it’s a tunic.”

“Oh, a tunic. I’m sorry.” I was being snappy, I know, but I wasn’t in the greatest of moods. This wasn’t the way I imagined the conversation to go.

I had imagined a ‘will you go out with me?’ ‘sure Sokka! I’d love to. What should I wear?’ kind of conversation. Now that’s normal. Being told to wear a girl’s tunic? Yeah, not so much.

“If I wear the dre- tunic for a couple hours will you go on a date with me?”

She smiled. “Yes, Sokka. Then I’d love to go on a date with you.”

Hmm, suddenly wearing a tunic didn’t seem as bad. “Ok.”

*~*~*~*~*~

Most of the time I tried to stay in my tent. We were camping, the gAang, to reminisce about old times. Toph was with me most of the time to make sure I upheld my part of the bargain. Even though she couldn’t see me, every time she looked in my direction she started laughing hysterically. Yes, I’m very funny.

But finally when the smell of Katara making dinner started wafting through the walls of the tent, my stomach got the best of me. I decided to brave the other’s laughter in the quest to get my meat. Skipping meals is very unhealthy, you know.

But I almost regretted it when I left my tent and everyone literally froze.

Zuko’s spoon was frozen halfway to his mouth, Aang was standing stock still, half petting Momo and the tea that Katara was pouring into a cup was cheerfully overflowing.

It was only when Toph crawled out of the tent, did the inevitable happen.

Laughter, loud enough to scare birds from the trees, irrupted. Aang was on the ground, rolling around in spasms of laughter. Whatever, he laughed at everything.

Zuko had dropped his spoonful of soup and was pounding the ground in hysteria, not at all reserved or Fire Lord-y. He was now at the bottom of my best friend list.

Katara was literally on her knees. I think it had something to do with the fluffy pom-poms attached to the headband that were dancing happily in the breeze.

I sat down in a huff, face a pale red. Since I didn’t think anyone was in any position to cut meat, I cut myself the biggest slice and moodily started chewing.

Toph sat down next to me, the only one besides Appa who wasn’t laughing. (yes, even Momo looked like he was laughing. Depressing huh?)

“I think you are immune to embarrassment.” She smiled at me.

“Really? I hadn’t noticed.” Ok yes, I was being snippy. But come on! The other three were still laughing. It’s not that funny, guys!

“You still want to go on that date? I mean, I was sure that you’d refuse to wear the dress…I mean tunic.” She suddenly looked slightly worried, as if she had just realized that she might have gone a bit too far.

It would almost serve her right if I said no. But, looking down at her, seeing her lightly chewing her lip, my annoyance pretty much evaporated.

I must really like her.

So instead of turning her down and going after a girl who wasn’t out to humiliate me, I smiled.

“I’m still up for the date, unless you don’t want to.” She brightened. “Shall we say tomorrow at 8?”

Toph nodded.

I stood up. “Good. Now I’m going to go take this thing off.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

On The Date:

“Toph, please tell me why exactly I had to wear a tunic.”

“Honestly?”

“Yes.”

“I wanted to see if you’d really wear a dress. Truthfully I would have gone out with you even if you had refused to wear it. Which I thought you would have.”

“What?! You mean there’s no ‘girl code’? And it’s a tunic.”

“Nope. Sorry, Snoozles. At least now I know that you really like me.”

“….I should get three more dates and a goodnight kiss for this.”

“Four dates and a kiss on the cheek.”

“Done.”

The End<b>
Ok, now this one I like. This one I'd actually say is worth being proud of. I like the humor. :D

Just to say, the beginning when Sokka's all 'have I told you how much I hate you?' (btw, you all know he doesn't mean it...he's just annoyed at wearing a headband with fluffy pom-poms ^^) is right after he starts wearing the tunic. Before the dinner scene and after the 'ok I'll wear the tunic' scene.

And I also know that my oneshots seem to be getting longer, so just tell me, for the big one (the last Tokka Week oneshot :() would you rather short or a length like this? I'm hoping to make Promise one of the best. I have an idea for it and everything. :D
