Slowly they stepped into the massive arena. In one area sat a massive pool of water, in another area piles upon piles of boulders and rocks in a massive dirt area. The rest of the arena, mainly the center, was covered in lush green grass. At each corner of the arena stood the fighters. It had been Toph's idea to try this nonsense and Zuko had encouraged them to give it a shot.

"WHOO! KICK THEIR BUTTS KATARA!" Sokka called from the audience. Katara sighed and hid her face in her hands.
"Remind me again why we're doing this Aang?" Katara turned to him seeking an answer. The monk merely smiled and shrugged.
"Because if we didn't Toph would make us come anyway."
"Good point..."

"Let's just try to remember this is just for fun. Besides we don't want our bending to get rusty. Who knows when something could threaten the Peace?"
"Also a good point Zuko. But how'd you get your guards to let you come do this?"
"uh...They don't know I'm here. They think I'm sleeping in with a cold." Toph grinned and tilted her head to the side,  
cracking her neck.

"We gonna do this thing or what? We probably only have maybe half an hour before the guards figure out Zuko isn't asleep."
"LET'S GET IT ON!" Sokka yelled. Toph sighed and flicked her finger, a tiny pebble smacking into Sokka's forehead and knocking him over. Suki giggled and helped him up, turning back to the fighters.

"Everyone ready?!" Suki called out. Katara threw out her arms, the water flowing from the pool and covering most of her body. Toph spread her feet apart, holding a horse stance while Aang slid his left foot forward, lowering his center and keeping an eye on Toph and Zuko. Zuko calmly stepped into a flowing fox-hound stance.
"Remember! This is a battle Royal! no goin easy on anyone! 3...2...1...BATTLE!" Suki called out

Zuko roared sending a jet of flame flying into the center of the ring and cutting off everyone's line of sight. He leapt into the flames and spun quickly throwing out his arms. A portion of flame flying toward the others. Toph smiled to herself, losing sight of Zuko only when his feet left the ground. The smell and sound of the flame reached her faster than the flame itself could. Toph slammed her foot into the ground and raised her arm, a wall of earth splitting the flame and forcing it around her. She slammed both fists into the wall of earth, sending it soaring through the air. Katara ducked and threw her arms forward, the pool of water rising up in a wave around her. As the wave came down Katara vanished into it,  protecting herself from the oncoming flames sent by Zuko; Rolling through the wave she found herself riding on top of it, her brother and Suki cheering the fight on from the stands.

Aang threw a hand forward to catch the flame, spinning as it slammed into his hand and chucked it back at Zuko who had leapt into the air, rolling sideways to avoid Toph's wall of earth. The young earthbender slid her foot forward and quickly pulled it back, throwing both arms forward as Zuko touched down. The earth under Zuko's feet quickly rose, forcing him to leap from pillar to pillar. His efforts at dodging were ruined as Katara slammed the wave of water down on top of him. Aang leapt into the air to avoid the wave, grunting as a rock slammed into his side.

"HA! Not so fast Twinkle Toes!" She gasped as a gust of air knocked her to the ground. Thinking quickly she rolled backwards pulling the earth around her into an armor shell. blast after blast of air hit her, keeping her from striking back. She gasped as a fist slammed through her armor and stopped. She took advantage of Aang's restraint to slam her leg behind his and knock him to the ground.

"Ya know Twinkle Toes, if you weren't so determined to avoid hurtin me you might end up bein a better earthbender than  
me."
"Oh come on Toph, there isn't an earth bender alive that can best you."She gasped as she was sent flying by a gust of air, grunting as she hit the ground, her head spinning.
"Air bending though, that's a different story."
"Oh it is on Twinkle Toes!"

On the other side of the arena Zuko was dancing around Katara's waves of water, throwing his own blasts of flame at her with each dodge. The waterbender quickly slapped away the blasts, having coated her arms in water. Zuko spun around another wave and stood in front of her, smiling a bit.
"Hi Katara." She blinked and leapt backwards, pulling herself into an octopus stance.

Is he flirting with me?! she thought in anger. Zuko ran forward and slid under one of the octopus legs, quickly rolling to the side as another reached for his ankle. Slamming his palms onto the ground he let bursts of flame fly from his hands, throwing him into the air as Katara threw her arms forward in an attempt to grab him. Rolling backwards in the air he kicked his feet forward, a blast of fire from them sending him flying toward Katara. He landed on his hands, letting his elbows absorb the shock by bending his arms slightly and used his momentum to push off the ground and flip over the waterbender. he threw an arm around her, a flame appearing in front of her face.

"I win" Zuko said.
"Not yet!" Katara threw her arms up, the water around her turning into a large chunk of ice that swallowed them. Katara exhaled through her nose, bubbles forming around her and letting her move freely. She grabbed Zuko's arms and pinned him to the ground with her foot, letting the ice melt and fall into a puddle around them.
"I feel like I should have seen that coming." Zuko said calmly. Katara helped him up and laughed a little.
"To be honest I didn't think it would work on you like it did on Azula." Zuko's smile vanished and he rubbed the back of  
his head.

"Yea...I guess we both fell for it..." he said sadly.
"FIRE LORD ZUKO!"
"AWW MAN!" Toph groaned as the guards rushed into the arena.
"Tie?" Aang asked, Toph started to walk away and stomped her foot on the ground. A pillar of earth sending the Air bender flying into the stands.
"Nope, I win."

"WAIT! What about Katara!?" Sokka yelled.
"I'll worry about the sugar queen later. You comin Zuko?" Toph asked without turning around. Zuko nodded, following after the earthbender, the guards quickly surrounding the two of them.
"So much for that."
"We'll have to do it again sometime. Though I'll let you come up with a plan to fool the guards." he whispered to her.
