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.

This is the first chapter of Part 3 Reunited
Chapter 20
The final battle was hard, Aang was up aginst another Waterbender and he was good, almost a better Waterbender than Aang was, almost because Katara had trained him well. Aang was getting tired but there was absolutely no way he would loose this tournament. Aang had been fighting hard all day, he was getting backed into a wall. He couldn't let this guy beat him, he wouldn't let this guy beat him! Katara was his! He found an opening and took it, now it was his opponent that was being backed into the wall. Somehow things had turned back again. Aang took the octopus stance, his best Waterbending stance he had. It helped a little but he couldn't hold his ground anymore, he had no choice, it was now time to reveal himself.
Katara was watching the final battle, she was intrigued by this mysterious waterbender, not only had he made it all the way to the last round, he had taken the other competitors down quickly, he was a very powerful bender and quick. She was never able to get a good look at him. She had seen him around but every time she tried to look at him he would turn his head or lower his head so she couldn't get a good look at him, in the Medical Igloo their eyes met only once and only for a few seconds but she could swear something felt familiar. He watched her a lot, she knew he did, she could feel him watching her all the time. He told her they'd seen each other before, but where? She just couldn't figure it out, that frustrated her. One thing that has been in her mind since she healed his hand this morning, he had grey eyes... familiar grey eyes...
The final battle was intense, The mysterious Waterbender as she started to call him, was fighting hard. She could see that he was determined to win, and for some reason she wanted him to win. She didn't know why she wanted him to win she just did. She wanted to know WHO he was. Not that she would marry him, she just wanted to know who he was.
Aang was fighting as hard as he could... but Waterbending just wasn't cutting it anymore. He looked up at Katara in the Royal box, front and center, their eyes met and he knew... he knew it was time! Just one Firebending kick would end the battle, and the tournament.
The Waterbender had him pinned, he jumped and did a flip, he used his Airbender skills as he jumped. He saw Katara's confused look, which drove him to finish this battle and go to her. As he came down he spun around shooting fire from his foot making a circle of fire, the Waterbender no longer capable of fighting.
He looked up at Katara as she screamed "AANG! AANG! OH MY SPIRITS! AANG!"
Everyone in the stadium gasped, only one person in the world could bend more than one element. All of his friends and family were in shock.
Aang jumped up to her took off the gloves that hid his tattoos and removing his hood and headband. He grabbed her and he kissed her, it had been way to long since he had kissed her. "I told you we've seen each other before. I love you so much!" he told her over and over.
"I KNEW YOU FELT FAMILIAR! We thought you were dead! We couldn't find you anywhere! I'm so glad you came back to us!" She cried into his shoulder. Then she looked him in the eyes again and screamed. "How could you do this to me ? You've been away for so long. I thought you were dead !"
"I'm sorry, I had to recover from my injuries before I could come back to you. I wanted to make an entrance that nobody saw coming. I'm just happy to be back with you. You and Sokka are my family. The two most important people in my life!" Aang told her.
Katara gasped, her eyes got huge, "Oh my spirits! I have to show you..." she trailed off as she dragged him with her. They didn't even stay for the announcement of who won... but they didn't really need to.
"What do you have to show me? I already visited with Appa a few times now..." Aang told her.
"It's a surprise, you'll love it!" Katara told him as they walked to her Igloo.
They reached the door to her igloo, she stopped and examined his face. She looked slight scared. "I have to show you," she said again her voice quivered with nervousness "please don't be mad."
"Mad at what?" He asked
"PROMISE me you won't get mad!"
"Okay, Okay," he laughed a little what in the world could he be mad about, "I promise I won't get mad."
She took a shaky breath then pull him inside.
He looked around and saw the woman who always had her baby with her. "What do you want me to see?" He said.
The woman stood up "Hello."
"Hi" Aang said
Katara took another shaky breath, she looked at the woman.
"You have a friend over?" Aang asked.
"Not a friend, she's... she's a nanny." She looked a little scared.
"Why do you need a nanny? Your father can't be treating you like a little kid until the tournament is over! You're almost twenty one!"
"She's not MY nanny, she is Gyatso's nanny."
Now Aang was really confused "Gyatso? Who is Gyatso?"
Katara had picked up a baby from inside a playpen and handed Aang the chunky bundle of furs. He looked down at it, the baby looked eerily familiar "Who is Gyatso?"
"He is..." she said pointing to the baby. Her heart was pounding so hard, she was so afraid he was going to get angry.
(A/N Sorry so short I wanted to leave it at a cliffhanger.)
