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 34

Aang led her to a part of the temple she had never seen before. They stopped in front of a door. "OK, close your eyes."

She did as he asked. She heard the door open and he guided her a few steps in.

"OK, open your eyes." Aang said.

When she did, first the light was bright but then her eyes adjusted. She was standing in a beautifully decorated room with seating and a fire-place. Aang lead her around, the cupboards had beautiful dishes in then and they were fully stocked with food for her to cook for their family. There was a kitchen and dining area, an office for Aang and it had 3 bedrooms all decorated wonderfully. All their belongings had been brought over.

"Is this... is this our Home here?" She asked in awe.

"Yeah, I was working on it the last time I was here, for us... and the family I didn't really expect to have so soon. It went unfinished, but then you said you would think of the Southern Air Temple as your home too. With the assistance of the Acolytes we finished it for you."

"For ME! Thank you, Aang, its beautiful." She jumped and wrapped her arms around his neck planting kisses on his face.

"You're welcome." He said and laughed.

"Mamama Dadada" Gyatso said.

"I think Gyatso wants kisses too" Katara said.

Lilly and Jasmine giggled. This was a side of the family that was just like every other little family out there. A mother, a father, and a child... Not Avatar Aang and Lady Katara, just Aang and Katara. Just a normal couple.

"Aang, who do we talk to about getting these sweet girls officially my maidens?" Katara asked.

"I told you I'm in charge, they are yours." He wanted to give his beautiful wife anything she wanted.

The two girls bounced in excitement.

"Jasmine, Lilly," Katara addressed, " I am not in need of your assistance right now. Go play. I will send for you when I need you."

"Play? Nobody has let us play since we got here. Just do this, go here. Carry this. Cut that..." Lilly said.

"You are still kids," Aang said, "too much responsibility at 12 is no fun, I know from personal experience, I still played around at 12. That's where 'goofy kid' comes from. We still play even now. Now off girls, Katara said play."

"Thank you, Avatar Aang, Master Katara." They bowed to each of them then ran off giggling and cartwheeling.

"Those are sweet girls." Aang said.

"Yeah, I like them." Katara said. "They blush and giggle when you come around." She giggled.

"Aaawwwww how cute" he said.

"And they absolutely adore Gyatso." Katara told him. "Aang this is a beautiful home. You made it just for me? For our family?" Katara said. "Thank you so much."

"I made it so that you can cook just for us here or we could go down to the dining hall if you want. Oh! I made an ice cabinet too, for Gyatso's pre-filled bottles. When it thaws we can just re-freeze it."

"Avatar Aang, you spoil me." Katara said giving him a soft kiss on his cheek.

"I have a year and a half to catch up on." He said.

Katara set Gyatso on the floor to crawl around and explore. He crawled directly to the couch and pulled himself up and went straight to daddy.

Katara and Aang entertained Gyatso with bending. Aang was teaching Gyatso easy Airbending moves. Gyatso was to young to do them but was watching happily.

2 Hour later he started fussing again. "Do you want to cook for us or go down to the dining hall?" Aang asked Katara.

"Tonight let's go, I'll make Vegetable Stew and bread tomorrow." She said.

They walked to the dining hall holding hands. Their home was much closer and easier to get to.

As soon as they got to the dining hall Jasmine and Lilly were by Katara side. They brought them tea and water. Then sat down by Katara. They blushed a bit when Aang finished being greeted by so many people and joined them at their table. Some kitchen staff brought them rice, tofu balls, rolls, cakes, pies, and grilled vegetables. It all smelled so good.

"I love the food they cook but it just feels funny for them to give us sssooooo much." Katara said as she gave Gyatso a bit of everything.

Many girls complemented Katara's dress. "A dress fit for a Lady!" Some said.

"I plan on making myself many more of other designs. I just need more fabric. I made Gyatso's clothes also."

"We can get you all the fabric you want. What colors would you like?" A woman asked her.

Katara looked at Aang and smiled. "Just red, orange, brown, and yellow, please."

Aang's eyes sparkled with happiness. His wife, from the water tribe, wants to wear Air Nomad colors.

She looked at him and smiled, "I told you I planned to live here... blues in a sea of reds, oranges, and yellows would be to noticeable... besides I saw your face when I came out of the room wearing this dress... you look at me like I was a big juicy peach, a little drool and all. The style is OK though right? I don't want to offend you or the Air Nomad culture with something nontraditional."

"That dress really is beautiful, I'll get you all the fabric you want. Any design you want..." He told her.

"REALLY! Laces, and ribbons, and see through... any I want?" She was so excited. "I can make so many beautiful dresses and gowns for myself!"

He was so happy she was excited about living at The Southern Air Temple.

"Aang I really do love it here, everything is so peaceful and beautiful, and not frozen." She laughed. "We are only a few hours away from The Southern Water Tribe so we can visit there... want to know a secret, ever since we left the South Pole with you all those years ago, I decided I don't like it there really."

"I swear I didn't think I could love you anymore than I already do, and you go and say things like that." Aang said.

From the end of their table they heard the 2 girls giggling. They looked at the girls and started laughing too. "They think you are so romantic." Katara whispered to him.

"I've been working on it for about 8 years now." He laughed "I worked pretty hard to get you to like me." Aang told her.

"I liked you longer than you know." Katara gave him a sly smile. "I've loved you longer than you know."

After they finished eating it was dark and Gyatso was yawning. Katara told the girls their assistance was not needed tonight but for them to come in the morning after breakfast if they don't see her in the dining hall. They walked back to their new home hand in hand.

"Today was great, I missed you but Jasmine and Lilly kept me company." Katara told him when they got home.

"They are nice girls." Aang said.

"Oh! You are in big trouble Avatar Aang!" She tried to look angry but couldn't keep the corners of her mouth from pulling into a smile.

"What did I do?" He tried to look as innocent as he could.

"You...You Avatar Aang eavesdropped on my reading from Aunt Wu."

"No, I went looking for a bathroom, you can ask Sokka, and accidentally heard." He lied.

She walked over to him, hands balled into fists on her hips. Her voice was very stern " You know what?!"

"What?" He whimpered.

Still just as stern "I'm glad you did! I love you." She smiled.

"Me too!"

"Mamama" Gyatso said with a big yawn.

"I'm going to change him and nurse him. Are you planning on meditating? I don't want to bother you." She asked.

"Yes, I'll be in our room, but I don't want you to stay out on my account... when he's asleep, please, come into our room." he told her.

"Are you sure? I really don't want to bother you." She said.

"I'm totally sure that I want you in our room." He told her.

"OK, I'll be about half an hour." She said picking Gyatso up.

"Say goodnight to daddy." His mother told him.

"Dadada"

"Good night, Little One." He said as he stood up, he kissed them both than said "See you in half an hour."

Katara disappeared behind the door to Gyatso's room. Aang went into their room. He took his top robe off and boots, then sat down on a big fluffy pillow on the floor. He let his mind free, free to drift away on its own. He was having an easier time meditating then he had in a while. He was concerned that Katara might not like it here. That she was lonely, back at her tribe she had Suki and her family, but she didn't really have anyone besides him here. She really took a liking to those two girls. Katara thought that it was cute that they blushed around him, she truly was happy here. His heart filled with joy knowing that she was happy. That he could give her what she wanted. He would give her anything she wanted.

He heard the door open then close again. He was done meditating but he wanted to listen to her as she got ready for bed. He heard her humming happily to herself as she brushed her hair, this was only their 4th night together. He could smell a fresh spray of her perfume drifting over to him. It made him smile.

"I see that smile." She had startled him, he had jumped at least 3 feet, literally.

She cracked up laughing at him. "Not fun to be startled is it... You just jumped 3 feet in the air... I'm sorry if I interrupted you."

"I was done; I just wanted to listen to you. I feel great now, freer and lighter than I have in a while."

"I'm so glad that you feel better, Sweetie. What happened to make you feel better? You don't need to answer if you don't want to."

"Why do you say that?! I will always tell you what is bothering me, what makes me happy... You are my wife now, My council... The person I talk to when I'm upset or need input... Ok?!" Aang said to her.

A smile came across her face. "Ok, Sweetie, I love you."

I was having some fears about stuff, but today... EVERYTHING about today made my fears blow away like leaves in the wind."

"Oh! That's nice." He could tell she wanted to know what these fears where but didn't want to push him to say more.

"Do you want to know what was bothering me?" He asked.

"Only if you want to tell me, I... I don't want to intrude on Avatar business or Air Nomad business." She said to him.

"Stop that My business is your business! I've been worried about how you feel about being here, living here. Back with The Southern Water Tribe you had Suki, Sokka, Your Dad, Your Gran Gran, and Master Pakku to visit with... here you didn't have anyone but me, I saw how sad you were when I told you I had some business I needed to do. I am glad that you took a liking to those girls, they seem to really like you too. I am so happy that you are happy to be living here. And your dress you made... it is beautiful; you could have chosen any colors you liked... It filled my heart with joy to see you in the traditional Air Nomad colors. It showed me you want to live here, that I wasn't pushing you to live somewhere you really didn't want to."

She came over to him and knelt in front of him. "Aaaaawww Sweetie I love it here, I really do." She kissed the point of his arrow. "I may be a Master Waterbender, but now I am an Air Nomad too."

He opened his eyes and saw the sincerity in her face. She was so close to him that he couldn't help reaching out to her, pulling her against him just holding her. "I love you so much." He whimpered into her hair.

"Oh sweetie, I love you too, I'm so happy you feel better."
