I have started writing Prequels, here is a list of them:
A Second First Date; One month after Aang defeated Fire Lord Ozai
Nightmares; A One-Shot Prequel to Together Again. Aang saved the world, he faced Ozai on his own. Everyone kept saying that he was a great hero, that he was so brave. He wore a brave face and acted all the hero they thought he was. But at night in his sleep he was a scared boy, scared for his life as he tried to get away from a psycho Firebender. The Battle came back at night.
Anila's Story; This is another Prequel to Together Again. It's about a Young Female Airbender just starting out in life. She was ready to travel the world as soon as she turns 16. Little does she know, Destiny has a grand purpose for her first child.
Chapter 3
Katara was following her daily routine, sitting on the pier watching the skies to the north. She saw what looked like a bird flying towards her direction. 'Could that be him?! I think it is!' She let out a sob of joy as she jumped up excitedly and ran to the square where he was going to land.
As Appa landed Aang leaped down to Katara. "Aang! You're early! I'm so happy to see you! I missed you so much!" The South Water Tribe princess sobbed as she ran to him, tears pouring from her eyes.
The Avatar picked her up and spun with her in his strong arms. Even when he was 12 he had no problem picking her up and carrying her. "I missed you so much too! I love you!" They held each other tight as they shared a passionate kiss, unaware of anything but each other. He kissed her forehead; it came just above his nose, making forehead kisses quite common. It was a marvelous reunion.
Sokka came running from the council room. When he got to the square, Katara and Aang were just coming out of their shared embrace. Sokka hugged Aang; they gave each other a good back pounding. "So great to see you!" Sokka told Aang.
"You too Sokka!" Aang replied.
Chief Hakoda was only seconds behind Sokka "Welcome back, Avatar Aang." He greeted Aang with a bow.
"Please just call me Aang." He said, bowing in return. "I need to talk with all of you in the council room. I have some bad news to share with everyone."
They walked together to the council room, Katara and Aang's fingers interlocked together. Hakoda waived for the other council members to join them.
"Council of the Southern Water Tribe," Aang started his speech that he had practiced over and over the entire trip from the Southern Air Temple, "I received an important message from the Earth Kingdom. Long Feng has escaped, with the aid of former Dai Li agents, now and rogue firebenders calling themselves 'The Azula Loyalists'. He is attacking and terrorizing villages in the Earth Kingdom, burning them to the ground, setting fire to all their crops. The Earth King, King Kuei has already requested, and is receiving the assistance of the Fire Lord. He also has requested the assistance from Team Avatar. I have come to ask for your permissions to put "Team Avatar" back together for this mission to meet with King Kuei and find The Azula Loyalists and stop them. I need Sokka and Katara's help."
"The council must discuss what you have requested from us. As you know Katara is the princess of our tribe and there are suitors bidding for her hand. Please come back in the morning for our answer." Chief Hakoda informed the Avatar.
Aang and Katara were holding hands as they left the council room. "I don't want to stay here while you and Sokka stop Long Fang." Katara pouted.
"I really want you to go with me. It was torture, being at the Southern Air Temple for just a few weeks without you." Aang sighing. "I thought about you every day... ALL day. I missed your smile; I missed your laughter... I really missed your kisses." He stopped, put one hand on each side of her face and kissed her lovingly.
She blushed red with a cute little shy smile. "I missed your kisses, too." Then she kissed him again, it too was small and soft but full of so much love.
Aang loved her so much. He was happy that she was HIS. He thought about what would happen with the other 11 suitors. Would the council choose any of them over him? They couldn't, what BETTER pairing is there than the Avatar and the world's ONLY Water Tribe princess? He loved the idea that he would be marrying her, that she would be the mother of his children, the mother to the next generation of Airbenders.
He held her in his arms; she smelled like flowers. He breathed in deeply, as deeply as he could, which was pretty deep because he is an Airbender. He wanted to take in her scent, to always carry it in his memory, to remember how she always smelled of flowers, even in the frozen South Pole. 'Oh Spirits,' he silently prayed 'I don't think I can stand being away from her again. Please have the council let her come with me.'
"What's on your mind?" Katara asked her boyfriend.
He was brought out of his thoughts and looked at her. "How much I love you, and how much I want you to come with me... How much I want to marry you!"
"Aaawwwww I love you too, Sweetie" was all she said. She kissed him lightly first on his nose then on the tip of his arrow.
It gave him goose bumps when she did it.
They went for a walk; he had to make up all that time he spent away from her. They found a secluded spot and Katara bent an ice cave there. Aang bent a fire to keep them warm, not that they would need it. They sat down, Katara on Aang's lap facing him, with her legs wrapped around his torso. They started kissing softly, little smiles after each kiss. Then, she brought the kissing to the next level by catching his lip in her teeth and let it teasingly slip from between her teeth. She sucked his tongue and it tasted sweet. Their breathing got heavier and their pulse quickened. He boldly went for her ear lobe nibbling on it, making her inhale sharply, then started to suck at the spot right behind it that made her roll her head back and purr. As they made out his hands wandered. One hand slid down to her behind, and she rewarded him with a little growl. She shifted slightly and she gasped as his erection brushed her lightly through his many layers of robes. She purred as he pulled her towards himself, feeling her large breasts pressed against his chest, at the same time she could feel all his chest muscles.
She caught his mouth with hers again; she twirled her tongue around his, producing a low growl from deep in his throat. She kissed her way down his face and stopped at his favorite spot, she kissed and sucked at his pulse, she could feel his fast heartbeat under her lips and tongue. She opened her eyes and saw the sun getting lower in the sky.
She whimpered as she pulled reluctantly away from him. "Sweetie, we have to stop. We need to get back before they send a search party out for us, or worse, Sokka comes looking for us." She didn't want to stop, it felt so good "We'll be getting married soon and be able to finally finish what we keep starting." She told him as well as herself.
They walked back into the village holding hands. "I love spending time with you." She said to him. "I wish the world would stay out of trouble just long enough for us to have more time together!" She said with a pout.
He stopped walking and kissed her pout away. "We can be together soon, my love. I promise."
The sun was just beginning to set when they got back to the tribe village. Sokka saw them coming into the village from HIS watch tower. It wasn't as nice as the ones Pakku and the other waterbenders had made, but he had worked hard to make his own. He climbed down and ran to meet them. He was concerned because they had been gone all day. "Where have you two been? It's been hours!"
"We went for a walk, spent some time together. We missed each other while Aang was away. We went penguin sledding." Katara lied to her brother.
"It was fun! You should have come too." Aang put in to make Sokka less suspicious of their actions. The Air Nomad changed the subject. "I wonder if the Kyoshi Warriors will be coming with Zuko."
It worked. "I miss Suki," he sighed, "I hope she comes."
"I hope they let me go with you guys!" Katara said "I don't want to have to stay here alone. I missed Aang so much when he was working at the Southern Air Temple."
Sokka started to get anxious and started fidgeting with the fur bobs on his parka. He was bad at keeping secrets.
"Sokka, you know something, don't you?" Katara probed him.
"No, I have no idea what you mean." Now fidgeting even more and concentrating on the toe of his boot.
Aang knew Sokka knew something. "Sokka, look at me."
"No... I can't... I don't want you to pull some magical mind bending on my brain." Sokka said.
"Huh...? What are you talking about, I can't do that." Aang said.
"I don't know what you can and can't do when your eyes glow. You took Ozai's bending away!"
"Sokka, my sweet and loving big brother... please tell us what you know!" Katara said so sweetly giving him anime eyes.
He couldn't hold it in anymore and went into a fast rant. "As you know I have been sitting in on the council meetings, learning to be Chief when the time comes..." The apprentice takes a breath and starts up again, "... after the suitor acceptance letters went out we received 11 responses. All 11 said they are pulling out of the negotiations for your hand, Katara." He went on, "Nobody wants to go against 'The Avatar', not after he stopped the war, saved the world, and did what he did to Fire Lord Ozai. So they said that since 'The Avatar' is the only suitor left, and she will be under his protection, they decided that she can go with us." Sokka finished, now gasping for air.
"OH MY SPIRITS! I GET TO GO! WAIT... Did you say Aang is the only suitor left? I'm going to marry Aang!" Now it was Katara gasping for air.
Aang reached into the folds of his many robes and pulled out a beautifully embroidered blue drawstring pouch. "Katara, this is for you." He said nervously.
She opened the pouch and pulled out the betrothal necklace. It was silver with sapphire stones set in it. She gasped at its beauty. "It's so beautiful, Aang!"
"Not as beautiful as you, my love. Let me help you put it on." He responded.
She squealed with joy and tackled Aang.
"Ssssshhhhhhhh," Sokka said "I told you they can't know! They wanted to surprise you two. They'd kill me if they found out I told you! Please, please, please act surprised!"
"OK, OK," they said in unison.
"Gran Gran should have dinner ready in a few minutes, I'm starving." said Sokka. "Remember, not one word!"
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW! GOOD OR BAD I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU ALL THINK.
