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 47
They walked hand in hand to Chief Hakoda's igloo.
"How has he been, Dad?" Katara asked.
"He likes showing off." Hakoda said
"Yeah, a real prodigy, like his daddy." Katara said.
"He likes to use Airbending to climb on stuff." Aang said.
"If he gets mad and blasts you, tell him 'we don't use Airbending to be mean." Katara said.
"OK, I'll make sure to tell him." Hakoda said.
"How long do you want to spend with him? We can come get him later or you can bring him to us."
"I'll bring him to you." Hakoda told the little boy's parents.
"OK Dad, we'll see you later. Bye... Bye bye Gyatso we love you." Katara said as she hugged each of them.
"Bye bye Mommy." Gyatso said, "Bye bye Daddy."
They went down to the market. Katara bought enough Seal jerky to last her and Sukie for the month they will be spending where no meat will be available to the two women growing life within them.
They wandered around the market for about an hour. Katara stopping at almost every prepared food vendor to get things to eat while they roamed around. They ran into people they knew and chatted for a bit. People stared as Katara walked by... It had only been 6 months since the tournament and she was HUGE!
"I'm going to be buying fabric to make baby clothes, but you should bring your furs and blankets, you don't want the baby to get cold when you return home." Katara told Suki. As they talked about what needed to be packed to take with them.
Aang and Sokka had gone to Aang and Katara's igloo to discuss the travel plans and Housing while at The Southern Air Temple, etc. After about an hour and a half the Ladies came back.
Katara didn't know the guys would be at their house. Suki and Katara had come in laughing and gossiping. "Oh, Aang, Sokka, we didn't expect you to be here..." Katara recovered quickly, "look Aang, I got myself even more Jerky." She held out a huge bag filled with Jerky smiling then held out her other hand with an equally large, and equally full bag if Jerky.
Aang laughed. "Is that going to be enough, or would you like to grab 5 maybe 6 more bags... at Gyatso's birthday party, 3 months ago your family brought you 5 bags and you are almost out. You have 3 more months to go."
"Yeah you're right, I need more. Thank you Sweetie. May I have more money, please?" She kissed him than waddled happily out the door with Suki by her side.
"She is so cute when she waddles." Aang said absently as he watched her heading back to the market.
"So you honestly have no problem with her eating meat?" Sokka said.
"No, her body isn't use to going without meat. And she is growing life inside her not just one either, she needs as much nourishment as she can get."
"I can't believe you and Katara are going to have 3 kids in just 3 more months." Sokka said.
"Yeah! Isn't it wonderful?" Aang said. "I was raised by monks, I never had a real family before. The closest thing I had was Monk Gyatso. I am so happy, I love all of them so much."
"I never thought about you not having a family in the traditional sense. I can see how great it would be for someone to have a family that never had one before." Sokka said.
Aang was truly happy. He loves his wife, he always did. She has already given him one child, a beautiful little boy that loves his daddy so much. It didn't matter if his son was an Airbender or not, but it was all the better that he was an Airbender.
"I was thinking, Sokka, we could stop at Kyoshi Island on our way to Ba Single Se. I think Suki would love it, what do you think?" Aang asked him.
"Wow Aang, you are awesome, she would totally love that." Sokka said.
"Happy Wife, Happy Life!" Aang said.
"Sometimes I forget you are very wise for your age." Sokka said.
"Technically I'm 119 now." Aang said. "So I don't know if I am very wise for my age."
"Oh, whatever, you know what I mean!" Sokka said.
"We have something for you back at The Southern Air Temple." Aang told Sokka
"Something for me?" Sokka asked.
"It was all your sister's idea, she thinks you'll love it." Aang said.
"I can't wait." Sokka said.
"Katara is going to be so happy while you and Suki will be with us." Aang said. "She had gotten a little down lately. I had to work later and later, she has her maidens, but she needs a woman to talk to."
Katara was with Suki going through stuff to pack. I have all of Gyatso's newborn clothes and furs you can have, well all but 2 outfits in each size, but I probably won't be bringing my babies here too often with Aang working a lot." Katara said.
"Yeah, I miss spending the days with you." Suki told her.
"I do too." Katara responded. "We are going to have fun together. We can have picnics, and sew and sit in the cool ponds. The food, spirits, The Air Acolytes can cook, we won't have to cook all day. Oh, Suki, I'm so excited!"
"It sounds like you have been lonely Katara." Suki said.
"I love my girls but it does get really lonely." Katara said. "There are just some things a woman does NOT talk to a girl about."
"I totally understand." Suki said.
"I'm going to ask Aang if there are other apartments like ours, near ours. It would be great if you were close to us." Katara said.
"Does he still glow?" Suki asked.
"Yes." Katara giggled.
