If she dies. I'd prefer Toph live over everything. But yea, I want it to be told that Lao has to live with the knowledge he killed his own daughter, Even if it was meant for her boyfriend, if Lao kills Aang somehow, then he'd smile and say "good riddens" but if he kills Toph he'll cry his eyes out

That's...just horrible. A parent living with the knowledge that they killed their own kid...gd, I wouldn't wish that onto anyone, even if her parents were control freaks.
Besides, I think something happened to her parents already. We never did see them getting the letter she sent them, so it could be foreshadowing or something like that.

Since when was a bird flying over the ocean instantaneous?? the bird probably is still flying to their house. My guess is they'll get it on 3:15 And the bird itself will show that Toph is in the firenation, and then Lao would pay for any remaining earth kingdom troops to kidnap her back and hurt Aang to no end

Yeah, I guess. I just wanted to see her parents getting the letter, darnit.
I wonder what her parent's reaction will be when they read it. They're either going to think it's fake, and that her kidnappers sent it, or that it's actually real and their daughter's safe.
Probably the former though.

If Lao kills Aang, the Bei Fong's are finished.
"Gee thanks for killing the world's last hope."
Even if they aren't outright lynched, most likely as Aang would not have wanted to hurt them, they will suffer as outcasts to an entire world.
Their fortune and fame will vanish in an instant.
'Screw the rules! I'm rich!' does not apply here. Yeah sure you're rich. Aang is pretty much POWER incarnate and he's got friends in very high places, both physically and spiritually. I'm sure the spirits would set aside a special place in Avatar Hell for the Bei Fong's
I wouldn't be surprised if Toph does them in herself.
"You were controlling but you were my parents. Now you're just murderers. By Earth Kingdom law, murderers are to be executed."
To add insult to Kuei or Bumi might order them a peasant's death.

I'm only asking, because there's someone on ff.net who doesn't see any reason to ship them together other then because they're both 12, and I know there are plenty more reasons than that, so I want to hear your reasons before answering him.

I'm guessing some opposites attract thing. They are different, which could bring them together. IDK.

Well, the potential they have if they were to get together. She makes him focus and, like a lot of Taangs said, she pushes him. He gave her freedom and that's something he can always give her. *is shot*

One in particular. I doubt the previous Avatars would say anything to Aang. There's a lot they don't seem to be telling Aang. Roku didn't tell Aang about his spiritual connection to Zuko, just his backstory with Souzin and he's cryptic about friendships across time. They want him to win but they're not giving all the facts. To quote Dr Evil, "I'm the boss. Need the info." and "Throw me a frickin' bone here."

I tend to get this picture in my head of all the Past Avatars and Spirits watch this stuff, placing bets and predicting who will go with who. In other words: They're us.

@ Kaibasgirl: Besides their ages? Lemme copy and paste something from a huge, blabbering Taang discussion I had over on DA. I've stated these opinions before, so you'll have heard something like it before. But for the sake of the (unenlightened..j/k) guy on ff.net, here they are.
LE TAANG GOODNESS:
It's really not so much 'opposites attract', I guess, as it is the idea that they both make each other better people through their respective qualities.
For Aang, Toph has taught him to hold his ground and try harder. She's told him that he has the stuff it takes to face whatever challenges life throws at him, and that perserverance is key to sucess: because not everything in his life will come easily.
Furthermore, she isn't always standing behind him, holding him up, or standing in front of him, protecting him. She stands beside him, as a teacher, teammate, equal and a friend, providing emotional substance with her frank honesty and advice. (Earth, of course, being the element of substance.)
Really, she's the one who pushes him to be more, to overcome his fears (fear being what blocks the Earth chakra.....)
As for Toph, Aang was the first person who understood her, possibly as someone torn in two by their desires and obligations.
For someone who seems rather emotionally closed, she opened up to him almost immedeatly, and subsequently found a friend, the first one she had ever had. Aang gave Toph the thing she wanted more than anything else in the world, which was her freedom (Air being the element of freedom, mind you). As the season progresses, hopefully we'll see more instances of Aang coaxing Toph out of her hard outer shell, instances where whatever griefs she has show through. (Grief being what blocks the Air chakra...)
It's basically the yin-yang principle of complementary opposites, the half that makes you whole.
(Which is completely different from being an 'earthly attachment', a totally seperate indivudual "hinderance': Which is why I think Aang can let go of Katara but still love Toph.)
Love doesn't always walk up and slap you in the face, appear like an explosion of fireworks and show itself at every turn: sometimes you really have to wait and listen for it to realize that it's there.
YAY SUBTLETY.
Oh man, I'm tired....

I can see it.
Kuruk would be an adamant Kataanger, based on personal experience and bias.
"I lost my water tribe wife! It's only right this Avatar finishes what I started!"
Kyoshi would be a vocal Sukka supporter while being a quiet Taanger.
"That water tribe boy's alright in my book. Needs a little lesson in gender equality but he's alright....plus it keeps him away from the little Earth Bender."
Roku might be a long suffering Zutaranian.
"Yes. That's right. Let her heal your scar...what?! No....No! You fool! Don't do that! I can't believe you're my decendant!"
Yangchen, being a flighty Air Bender by nature, would ship everything under the sun just for fun.
"Hugs for everyone!"

^ Hehehe I like Yangchen, and I would imagine she would be a multi-shipper as well.
As for Roku, lol, poor guy. He's friend betrays him; his greatgranddaughter is following his friend; and his great grandson has betrayed his ship. XD

BAHAHAHAHA!!! That's cool Marvel!
However, the feeling I got from Yangchen in the Escape from The Spirit World thing was that she was more...calm and unattached.
So I figured she would be a non-shipper. And if she was a shipper, she'd be extreamly soft core.
