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 32

When he woke up Katara was already up, he could hear her humming in the other room. 'Gyatso must have woken her up' he could tell she was nursing him by her humming. He rolled onto his back and stretched out. He was debating on either getting up now or waiting for Katara to come back into their room with Gyatso. After he finished stretching he decided to enjoy the softness of the bed a bit longer, and closed his eyes again. After about 10 minutes he heard the door open then close again "...Flowers..." he opened his eyes to her leaning down to kiss him good morning. Then came Gyatso 'kissing' (really just kinda slobbering on him) daddy too.

"Good morning!" he said.

"Today feels like it's going to be pretty warm, I get to put on the new clothes I made Gyatso and myself. They are kind of a surprise... I had no clue on the proper style so just let me know if you like them." She rummaged through their bags until she pulled out an 'Air Nomad orange' colored bag. Picking Gyatso back up, She went into his room with him locking the door behind her.

It was about 10 minutes later when he heard the door knob turn. His full attention turning to the door.

"Ready?" she asked through the door.

"Yes"

The door opened and she walked out. She was wearing an orange floor length sleeveless dressed that clung to her every curve made from a light fabric, with a yellow long-sleeved light top robe that was also floor length, the bottom of its sleeves hung passed her knees , her long hair down passed her behind.

His mouth went dry he gulped hard... she smiled "Now who's staring?"

"Umm.. I... umm... Wow!

"So you like it?"

"Yeah... colors... nice too! WOW... wow... ummm... yeah." He stammered.

"Dadadada"

His son was wearing cute little brown pants with a yellow shirt and a tiny red over robe. Aang was in awe over the beautiful clothes Katara had made for herself and their son.

"When did you make those?"

"A couple of months ago."

"But you thought I was dead."

"I told you I was planning to run away after the tournament... the best way to learn about Air Nomads is to live among them." She was so happy he liked them. "Ok let's go down and get something to eat. I'm hungry."

When they walked into the dining hall heads turned and Acolytes stared. Xing Ying came over to them "That dress is so beautiful! Where did you get it?"

"Thank you Xing Ying, I made it myself."

"Orange and yellow look beautiful on you!"

Aang, afraid of stammering again just nodded in agreement.

"I plan on making myself several more. Where my husband goes I go," Katara smile "not much has changed there though. I've done it since my brother and I found him." She laughed then went up on toes to kiss his cheek.

Katara found an empty table near some open windows. As soon as she sat down, there were girls bringing platters of fruits and pastries, plates with fruit cakes and bowls of sweet rice and cups of tea. Aang joined her after he finished the conversation he was having with Xing Ying last night. "Are we supposed to eat ALL of this? I said I was hungry but not THIS hungry!"

"No, what doesn't get eaten gets put into the pantry room for snacks later." He smile as he took Gyatso and put him on his lap.

Katara giggled "Do you even realize you do that?"

"Do what?"

"That" she pointed at their son

"You always take him from me."

"No I didn't even realize I do it. You had him all to yourself for 9 months, it's my turn." He laughed so loud everyone turned to look at them. "Good Morning everyone, the cooks made a wonderful breakfast this morning."

Everyone gave a small bow "Yes, Avatar Aang, Lady Katara." then they return to their breakfast.

"When you were here last did they always do that to you?" She asked "It's going to take a while to get used to that."

"We don't have to eat here I can have it brought up to us in our quarters every morning." Aang told her

"No, I like walking, getting fresh air, it truly is beautiful here."

"I love my home... and someday I hope you consider it your home too."

"I already planned to Sweetie!" She told him as she took his hand in hers and interlaced their fingers.

"I am so happy you said that! I need to go speak to a few people after breakfast. Would you like me to have someone take you somewhere you can practice your Waterbending?" He asked his beautiful wife.

"That would be fine. How long will you be busy? You're not supposed to work on your honeymoon."

"It's not for work. It should only take a couple of hours." He said his heart breaking at the sad look on her face. "Aaawwwww please don't be sad. I promise I will be as quick as I can. And take lots of breaks to see you, I just need to oversee a few things."

"For now I wish you weren't in charge." She whimpered.

"This is not totally about being in charge... I want to tell you more, but I can't right now."

They ate their breakfast together. After they were finished Aang found a couple of those 12-year-old girls from last night and had them accompany Katara. He had the kitchen staff prepare a large basket of food for them all and a large blanket for them to sit on, he led them to that waterfall with a pond. He kissed her and Gyatso goodbye then went off somewhere.

The girls giggled then whispered to each other after he left.

"What's so funny?" Katara asked the girls.

"Oh, Nothing Lady Katara, we should not have disrespected you by whispering and laughing." They told her.

"Let's get to know each other. Hello, I'm Katara this is my son Gyatso. Your turn."

"Hello, Lad.."

"No I said Katara, not lady or princess, please."

"But that would be disrespectful to not use your title."

"OK, how about this title 'Master Katara' then?"

"Master Katara?"

"Yes girls I'm a Master Waterbender... I am also Aang's Waterbending Master."

"You were Avatar Aang's Waterbending Master!"

"OK back to introductions I'm Katara. You two are...?

"I'm Jasmine." One girl said.

"I'm Lilly." The other said.

"You two look very familiar to me." Katara said.

"We lived in one of the Villages that The Azula Loyalists attacked." Jasmine said.

"You healed my mother's burns. We thanked you and Avatar Aang for your help." Lilly said.

"What do you two do around here at the Southern Air Temple?" Katara asked them.

"We are usually sent running errands for everyone." They told her.

"Would you girls like to be my... oh what is it called? My maidens? My helpers. You will no longer have to do anything for anyone except me... Well Aang too."

At the sound of his name the girls blushed then started giggling again.

"Oh, that's why you two are giggling. I think he's dreamy too." Katara told the giggling girls.

The girls blushed bright red, they have been found out.

They found a beautiful spot next to the pond. The girls helped spread the huge blanket out.

"Your dress is really pretty." Jasmine said.

"Thank you, I made it myself."

"A Lady should have dresses made for her, not making them herself." Lilly said.

They opened up the basket and pulled out some fruits. Katara removed the pits from some cherries and fed some to Gyatso and had a few herself.

"OK since you are from now forth MY maidens. Is there anything you would like to know, don't be shy, how else are we going to get to know each other?"

"La... Master Katara how did you meet Avatar Aang?"

"Wow great question! What all do you guys know about him so far so I can fill in the blanks, as to when I meet him and all that?"

"We know he was frozen in a bubble for 100 years. A girl from the South Pole and her brother found him."

"The beginning is always a great place to start!" Katara said with a laugh. "That was a very strange day. It's not every day you split a massive iceberg and find a glowing boy in a bubble."

"YOU were the girl who found him?! WOW!" They looked at Katara in awe.

"Yeah, he was in love from that moment on. It seems like so long ago now. Anything else?"

"How old where you two when you stopped the war?"

"Aang was almost 13, and I was just shy of 15."

"What was he like then?"

Katara laughed for a minute. "He was... a goofy little kid with a crush."

From behind them they heard a man's voice "I heard goofy kid with a crush... you guys have to be talking about me." He laughed.

"Dadadada" Gyatso said excitedly and crawled to him.

"Hello Little One!" Aang said with a smile as he picked his son up.

"Aang this is Jasmine and Lilly. I have decided to make them my Maidens when we are here. Is that OK?

"Anything you want, My Love."

"Jasmine, Lilly, I am pleased to meet you." He said as he bowed to each of them. "I am Aang."

Lilly blushed bright red... "We know who you are, Avatar Aang."

He sat down on the blanket with them and ate an apple. "Since you will be with Katara a lot, call me Aang."

"They won't," Katara said "they said it is disrespectful to not use your title. Are you done for the day? I miss you."

"No, I'm sorry. I know I'm supposed to be spending time with you... just a little longer then I have a surprise for you. I'll come and get you when I'm done."

"OK, I love you so much." Katara told him.

"I love you more than you know. I need to get back to what I was doing." He said then kissed her. "Daddy has to go but I will be back soon Little One, bye-bye." Aang kissed his son on the top of his head.

"Byebyebye"
