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 24

Aang and Katara glanced nervously at each other, then they began to walk to the council room, followed closely by Hakoda with Gyatso. She squeezed his hand to show him she was there with him, supporting him. He squeezed back, slightly less anxious now. They both took a deep breath in, slowly breathed it back out then walked in through the door into the Council hall. Were they in trouble for spending the night together? There's nothing else it could really be.

"Avatar Aang, we thought we would never see you again. Thank you for coming back to your family." Bato said, smiling.

"I could never leave my true love... or my son... I would never leave my family."

Suki and Sokka, along with Kanna, (Pakku was already there, he sat on the council) entered the council room behind Hakoda. Zuko and Mai also came in. They all already knew what was coming. Sokka had been sent to collect the witnesses while Suki was to get the couple.

"Usually this is done more ceremonially, we had told you both that upon your arrival back to this village you were to be married. It was postponed for too long. We will now be preforming that for you."

"Now?!" Katara exclaimed incredulously "but..." she began to object, but then she turned and saw the people that were most important to them were all standing behind them, except Toph.

Aang and Katara looked at each other, and with a silent agreement, then they both said "OK." They didn't need a huge ceremony and lots of guests. It was actually better this way, just a small gathering. Just some of their closest friends and family, nothing else.

Chief Hakoda, still holding Gyatso, performed the ceremony for them. "Avatar Aang," he began. "the reason you stand before me now is because you have made the life changing decision to take Princess Katara as your wife, to take care of her, to provide her with all the necessities of life. To love her forever, to forsake all others, to give her children and a happy life. Do you swear to do these things, Avatar Aang?"

Aang felt like he was soaring over the vast oceans that were Katara's eyes smiling. "Forever and always!" he affirmed happily.

"Princess Katara," he continued, "the reason you stand before me now is because you have made the life changing decision to take Avatar Aang as your husband, to take care of him, to provide him with all the necessities of life. To love him forever, to forsake all others, to give him children and a happy life. Do you swear upon these things, Princess Katara?"

She couldn't stop smiling she was so happy that this was finally happening. "I promise with all my heart and soul." she nodded vigorously as she said it.

I now pronounce you husband and wife. Avatar Aang, you may now kiss your bride." Chief Hakoda finished, smiling himself.

Aang kissed her then picked her up and spun her around. "We're together forever now!" he told her.

"Yes we are!" She told him.

"So where are you guys going for your honeymoon?" Zuko asked them.

"To visit people." Katara said.

"To thank people." Aang said at the same time.

Hakoda raising his hand and everyone stopped talking. Except for Gyatso "papapapapapa." He chanted.

"Our guests will now present their gifts to the married couple," he announced.

"My gift to you is this chest of 1000 gold pieces." Zuko told them as he handed the chest to Aang.

"Oh Zuko! Thank you so much! That's a lot!" Katara said, astonished.

"I was already planning to give it to you Katara. Well... it was going to be only 500, as a wedding gift for you and whomever won the tournament, but after we met, Gyatso, Mai and I decided to double it so that the little Airbender would always have whatever he wanted... from Uncle Zuko and Aunt Mai, maybe he wouldn't have too bad of mixed feelings for Uncle Zuko."

Sokka said with a little sadness "My gift to you is Momo" he gave a little whimper. "My best little friend."

"Hey I thought I was your best friend!" Suki said with mock anger, hands on hips.

Hakoda hugged them both tightly "I know that you will have a very wonderful life together... Katara, don't forget to come home every once in a while, I don't want my grand-kids to grow up without knowing us."

"I promise Dad, we will visit often." Katara said.

"Aang I want to tell you something." Sokka said as he pulled Aang outside for a moment.

"Yeah?" Aang responded, a little nervous.

"Good thing you married my sister, want to know why... because if you didn't I was going to have to kick your ass for getting her pregnant."

"I ALWAYS planned on marrying her!" He said with a smile, reflecting on the first time he saw her.

"Oh! Remember when we were in the Fire Nation and you were in school and got in trouble. And Katara and I had to pretend to be your parents."

"Yeah,"Aang laughed "and Katara had that ridiculously huge belly!"

"That's what she looked like just before Gyatso was born," Sokka informed him, smirking.

Aang stopped laughing and gulped. Katara was listening, and had a bit of an angry look on her face. "It's not funny, I could barely move around. I was a beached whale!" she scolded him.

"You know, you grew from a boy into a man while you were gone" Hakoda said "now I have two strong sons! Welcome to the family. Now that you are my son-in-law I will now drop the formalities, Aang." He hugged Aang, pounding on his back a few times. "It's kind of strange to think that 'The Avatar' is my son-in-law. That such a powerful man... The most powerful man in the world found my daughter and fell in love with her."

"Your daughter found me, I didn't find her... Chief Hakoda, I've been in love with her since I woke up in her arms." The young Avatar told his father-in-law.

"We should go get ready to leave." Katara said, tugging on Aang's arm.

"You guys go have the day to yourselves together now that you are married, while I watch Gyatso for you, you can come get him in the morning." Hakoda told them.

"Another thing Aang," Sokka said, "don't make her mad, she can split icebergs." Everyone laughed.

"OK, goodbye everyone, My husband, MY time now!" Katara took Aang by his hand, said thank you to everyone, and then swiftly pulled Aang back to their igloo.

Everyone there laughed again as Katara dragged Aang away. "Have fun." Sokka called after them.

"That is one determined bride." Suki said, smirking.
