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 37

"Do you need anything, My love?" He asked after about an hour of flight, she looked so miserable it was heartbreaking.

She had her head on his shoulder. She lightly shook her head "no... OK yes, biscuits please."

He hopped into the saddle and found a box with biscuits. He also got some watermelon for himself and Gyatso. They all ate on Appa's head. "Our first stop is coming up." We will be here for a few days. There is a few people I think you will be happy to see."

"Huh? Where are we stopping? And who will I be happy to see?" She asked him, taking full-sized bites of her biscuits now.

"It's a surprise, My love!"

"Sweetie, could you grab me some of my seal jerky... I'm so hungry right now... I don't want to fall off of Appa's head." She said with a giggle.

After she ate several pieces of jerky she got really sleepy. Gyatso was cranky too. She went into the saddle nursed Gyatso then laid down cuddling her baby boy and drifted off to sleep.


Aang sat on the saddle horn and watch her sleep. He had received a letter a couple of days ago from Sokka and Suki. It said they were visiting Suki's parents at Kyoshi Island for a few months. The letter invited them to visit there too. He didn't say anything to Katara because he wanted to surprise her... Talk about surprises she sure had a big one for him. This woman has given so much to him these last 7 years. He had no idea what he could do to thank her for it all.

As he sat watching her, he thought of that day so long ago, that very first moment he'd seen her beautiful face he'd fallen in love. That girl is all grown up now, she IS HIS WIFE. She IS THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILDREN. This woman was the girl whose arms he woke up in.

"Why are you smiling at me?" She woke up and he hadn't even noticed.

"Because I love you!" He told her.

"You are and always have been my little flirt! I love you too." She smiled at him.

"How do I thank you?" He asked her.

"Thank me for what Sweetie?" She said as she sat up.

"EVERYTHING!"

"Everything? Choose just a couple of things for right now." She laughed.

"My life!" That was one of the biggest things she has done for him.

"Your life... you gave me life... 2 for 1 is pretty awesome thanks to me."

"I gave you life?" What do you mean?" He was thoroughly confused.

She smiled "Gyatso and this one in here" she put her hand on her tummy.

"No, you gave them to me." He said.

"How about we call it even, we gave them to each other."

"But I still owe you thanks for so much."

"Like what?"

"My life... Azula KILLED me... you brought me BACK."

"I had to... the world needed you... I needed you." She admitted for the first time ever, blushing bright red.

He locked eyes with hers, he was stunned "Really? YOU needed me?"

Now she had butterflies in her stomach (on top of her morning sickness) "I loved you Sweetie, I was just to confused to realize it."

*RRRRRRRR*

"Oh, coming Buddy. We're almost there."

"Where?"

"No, it's a big surprise... but not as big as the one you gave me this morning."

"I'm glad you asked me that I wasn't sure how to tell you." Katara told him.

"Why weren't you sure how to tell me? Did you think I would be mad or something?" he asked

"I don't know really... I was nervous, I guess?"

"If you get pregnant again, please My Love, tell me as soon as you know... I want you to tell me."

"Ok, Sweetie. I promise." She smiled at him.

"There it is!"

"There what is?" Then she saw the island in the distances. "That looks like... Oh My Spirits, it is... it's Kyoshi Island! Is that my surprise?" She asked him.

"Only part of it, My Love."

"The other part better not be Koko." She joked.

"Oh goodness Koko drove me crazy. Bossing me around." He laughed. "I couldn't get away from her! I didn't like her."

"She liked you... But I think that was more for the fact that you are The Avatar and not because of you... Like I do."

"She liked me?"

"Yes, You didn't notice?" She asked him.

"No, the only girl I paid much attention to was you." He told her.

"Why did you play with her if you didn't like her?" She asked him.

"Play?"

"You were twelve, twelve-year-olds play."

"Oooooooh to try to make you jealous."

"It kind of worked." She blushed.

*RRRRRRRRR*

"OK we will be landing soon." Aang told her.

"I'm going to charge into that first dress I made. Can you charge Gyatso's diaper and put him in that first outfit I made him?"

"Yeah, sure My Love." He told her.

Katara changed quickly then assisted Aang with Gyatso.

As they were landing people came running out to meet them. Including the guy that screams and foams at the mouth.

Then she saw her big surprise... Sokka and Suki came out to greet them too. "Oh my Spirits! Sokka, Suki thank you so much, Sweetie." She tackle hugged her husband. Moments later Appa set down in the town square.

"We can tell them our wonderful news!" He said excitedly.

Sokka and Suki helped Katara get off of Appa as Aang brought down their stuff. He handed Katara Gyatso first.

"Your dress is the most beautiful one I've ever seen!" Suki told her.

"Katara, orange and yellow suits you." Sokka told his little sister giving her a hug.

Katara was quickly relieved of Gyatso. Sokka had his nephew. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a very unhappy Koko. If looks could kill, Katara would've already been dead.

"I'm hungry" she told them, "let's get something to eat."

"Oh, we have a guest house all set up for you!" Suki told them.

They went to the guest house, the tablet was already set with a banquet sized meal. "We got that letter you sent ahead. So we had everything ready for you three." After the war ended the whole world started to use Hawks for world communications. Aang had sent out a hawk when he was getting the food delivered down to Appa before they left.

They all sat down to eat. They chatted about what's been going on in the South Pole. Things that were going on at The Southern Air Temple.

Suki had a huge grin on her face. "Katara, Sokka and I have some wonderful news! I'm pregnant! Isn't that great!"

"Congratulations Suki and Sokka!" Katara hugged them both then stepped back. "Me too!"

"Wait what?" Sokka said.

"I'm pregnant, too!" She repeated.

"Oh my spirits Katara, I'm so happy for you!" Suki hugged her again.

"Wow you waste no time, do you!" Sokka said then he hugged her and Aang.

Aang was holding and feeding Gyatso some of the wonderful tofu, fruits and rolls. Some villagers brought in more food... Koko was with them, she had just overheard Katara saying she was pregnant AGAIN. That made her looks even madder looking. She put on a fake smile as she turned to Aang "He's adorable what's his name?" she said. "Is he a Waterbender like his mother?" She asked nonchalantly.

"His name is Gyatso. No, he's an Airbender like his daddy." Aang said.

"It was nice seeing you again, Avatar Aang." Then she left quickly.

"What did Koko want?" Katara asked.

"The same thing those Acolytes wanted." He said.

"Why do people think that, its infuriating!" Katara said.

"What do people keep asking?" Suki asked.

"They sound so sweet when they ask if he is a 'Waterbender Like his mother' but in reality they are asking Aang is the father." Katara told them.

"That's horrible!" Suki said.

"It's quite hurtful actually." Katara said. "But I'm not harboring any bad feelings towards anyone." She gave a small look at Aang.

Aang knew that he doubted her also. He hates himself for it too. How could he have thought so little of the woman that chose to be alone if she couldn't be with him.

The rest of the day went by so quickly, it had taken a while to get here from The Southern Air Temple.

Katara had shown Suki all the beautiful dresses she had made for herself. She told her about Jasmine and Lilly. She told them about their home at the temple. They had gone on a walk for fresh air.


"It is so weird though, they call me 'Lady Katara' all the time."

"You are a 'Lady' now!"

"I'm not a Lady though, I'm a fighter, and I'm a Master Waterbender."
