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 21

Realization now hitting him hard, he yelled, "Why would you name him that?" he felt extremely angry and betrayed, Monk Gyatso was the most important person in his childhood, 'Why would she name HER baby that?!' He thought, but remembered he promised he wouldn't get angry... she had slept with someone so soon after they thought he was dead... did he not mean as much to her as she did to him.? He blew out a large puff of air. It swirled around the room, Aang noticed there were wind chimes in it... then, to his surprise, Gyatso cooed then copied him and the air swirled around the room just like his did making the chimes chime.

Aang's jaw dropped and he couldn't believe what he just saw... After a moment of dead silence, "He's..."

"An Airbender!" she told the baby's father with a smile "Surprise!"

"The gust of air I saw coming from in here was..."

"An angry baby boy" she confirmed.

"I'm a... I'm a... I'm a daddy!"

"When we saw Aunt Wu she told me I was pregnant already without me understanding her, 'his love for you already grows inside you" she Katara cried happily as she realized the small, once broken family was whole again.

As Aang, Katara, and Gyatso emerged from her igloo Aang was tackled immediately by Sokka, Suki, Hakoda, Gran Gran, Pakku and Zuko.

"Aang you're really great at disappearing!" Sokka said "Oh! By the way, I'm going to kick your ass for getting my sister pregnant."

"I'm back... I'm sorry it took me so long Katara... and Gyatso too. I promised I'd come back." He said. "I'm sorry Sokka can I get a rain check? I've been fighting all day. I'm tired and sore right now." Everyone laughed.

"Ok, Goodbye everyone, Aang needs to spend time with his son." Katara shooed them all off.

Aang was in awe over this little chunky baby. His son was the cutest little thing Aang had ever seen.

"Aang, please don't let him get fussy." Katara warned.

"Why, what does he do?"

"He creates a tornado." She told Aang.

"Wow! A tornado at his age, that's really impressive. Most Airbenders can't do that till they are at least three." He said.

"Aang, I missed you so much. What happened to you after the battle?" She asked him.

"Oh... uuummmmm... a girl named Song and her mother found me when they were looking for herbs. The explosion threw me pretty far, I was in a hospital. She said I kept going in and out of the Avatar state when I was asleep. I guess it helped me heal. For awhile I didn't know who I was, I didn't know who anyone was."

"I dreamed about you." Katara told him, feeling slightly embarrassed.

"I dreamed about you too... in one dream we were playing in water then I kissed you and told you I love you, but when you were saying it back you slipped away and I called you and called you but you faded away." He told her.

"I had the same dream!" She said with surprise "in another dream we were riding on Appa and"

"You fell off..." He finished for her.

"YES EXACTLY!" She said with surprise. "We must have been sharing dreams."

Aang kissed Gyatso on his fuzzy black hair "l had a few others... I didn't understand them then but I do now... about 9 months ago I dreamed I was in nothingness but I could hear you crying out in pain, I called for you and you cried out again... I was running to find you, you were in pain I could hear you... this went on for a while... then after a really bad cry... I... I heard... I heard a baby crying. I had another a few weeks ago... You... I saw you washing dishes, then you turned to me and you said... you said 'Thank You Aang, For giving me my beautiful Mini-Airbender, I promise I will raise him to live and love like you did.' you had tears running down your cheeks I turned and saw him blowing puffs of air at his toys."

"We're connected!" she exclaimed. "Your dream was about me giving birth to Gyatso, he's 9 months old." She started to cry "you were there, even though you weren't there... you knew when he was born even though you didn't know I was pregnant. I felt so alone that day, I wished so much that you were there I called out for you..." she went to him and put her arms around him and Gyatso "in a way you were there, you were... I DID say that, just a few weeks ago too!"

"As soon as I remembered who you were, I did everything I could to get back to you. Song told me about the tournament and I knew no matter what I HAD to win the tournament... I HAD to win for you... and now I know about... My son... MY FAMILY! I HAVE A REAL FAMILY! I HAVE YOU AND I HAVE MY OWN CHILD!"

"Calm down Aang it's getting windy." She said with a laugh not unlike the one she often gives to the Mini-Airbender. She kissed his nose.

Katara cooked dinner for her family, still marveling over the fact that it was finally whole again, She thought it would never ever EVER be whole, ever. As she cooked she watched Aang play with his son. He was blowing little puffs of air, he did his marble trick, Gyatso squilled and laughed as the marble spun around in the air. Aang was so happy as he did all the cute little tricks he knew for his son.

Katara had tears of joy streaming down her cheeks. She wiped her face, sniffled twice then called, "Dinner is ready."

She had made sticky rice and sauteed vegetables for them all, and for herself also some grilled fish.

"Your cooking smells wonderful Katara." he told her and kissed her.

"Thank you, sweetie." She said and blushed, she had thought he was gone forever, it felt funny saying 'Sweetie' again.

Katara feed Gyatso rice and vegetables, as Aang sat back and watched. Every few bites she would take a couple of bites of her own dinner. Aang had noticed she wasn't giving him any of her fish, but didn't really think too much about it, he was just so happy to be back with her, to find out that he had a son.

After dinner he did the dishes for her. When he was done with them he sat back on the couch doing more tricks for his son.

"We need to go back to that farming village where that hospital is. I need to thank Song for everything she did for me... for us." Aang said.

"As soon as we can." Katara assured him.

"I love you so much. I missed you so much!" Aang exclaimed.

"Can I see him, please, it's time to nurse him then put him to bed." Katara said with a laugh.

"I didn't realize I was keeping him to myself." Aang said, shrugging as he handed her the baby.

He sat quietly and watched in awe as she fed the baby. "You are so beautiful."

She had been looking down at their baby, humming quietly to him like she always did when she nursed him. His comment startled her and she jumped. "I forgot you were here... it feels too much like one of my many daydreams I had when you were gone."

He stood up and in two great strides he was at her side. He knelt in front of her, placed one hand under each side of her jaw cradling her head in the palms of his large but ever so gentle hands. He gently turned her face to his, kissed her lips softly. "I am here, My Love. It's real, I'm real, you're real... and the baby I often saw in my dreams is real."

Tears streamed down her cheeks, he caught them with his thumbs and wiped them away. He kissed each tear track on her cheeks. He looked down at their baby that had happily drifted off to sleep nursing and listening to his mommy's humming. Aang reached over and brushed the back of his knuckles over his son's soft cheek, then leaned in and kissed that very same soft little cheek. He looked up and found Katara smiling as she was watching him.

"Come with me to put him in his bed." She told Aang.

He followed as she put Gyatso into his little crib. Then he followed her out of the room. "You said you couldn't believe we're together again... I can show you how real this is." He said, now that it was just the two of them...
