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 49

Aang awoke to Katara staring at him smiling. "Happy Birthday, Sweetie!" She said when he opened his eyes. "You are officially NOT a teen anymore." She laughed, "What would you like to do today?"

He smiled a wicked smile and grabbed her and pulled her to him. He kissed her and held her there. "Stay in bed with you!"

"We can't, you know they are planning a feast for your birthday."

"Yeah, I know. We sure have had a lot of feasts lately."

"I like it, I'm going to sound like Sokka for a second, FOOD! I Love food."

Aang laughed "Yep, that's Sokka!"

"Ok, I need your help, I can't get out of bed and the twins are playing Air Ball with my bladder."

Aang chuckled as he got up and walked around to Katara's side of the bed. He helped her up. As soon as she was on her feet she quickly waddled to the bathroom.

Aang pulled his pants on and went into Gyatso's room and changed his diaper. "Good morning, Little One!"

There was a knock at the door, Jade opened the door "Good Morning!" She called "Avatar Aang, Lady Katara, we brought breakfast."

Aang was still dressing Gyatso. Katara came out of the bathroom still in her nightgown. "Good Morning Maidens! Thank you."

"Good Morning, ladies." Aang said as he came out of Gyatso's room. "Thank you for bringing breakfast."

"Uuummmm... Aang," Katara said, "you should go put your shirt on."

He looked down and just noticed he hadn't put it on yet. All 5 girls were looking at their feet and blushing.

"Oh! Sorry I forgot I didn't have one on." He put Gyatso down and went back into their bedroom.

"Is that... Is that where the lightning hit him?" Jade asked when she saw the huge scar on his back.

"Yeah." Aang and Katara said at the same time.

"The other one is on the bottom of his foot, that's where the lightning exited." Katara told Jade

"I'm sorry girls." Katara said.

"Its ok, he just forgot." Jade said. "Part of running a household includes things like that."

Aang came back out, "I'm so sorry girls."

"Oh, happy birthday, Avatar Aang!" Jade said. "You're 20 today, right?"

"20, 120, something like that." He chuckled.

Katara waddled next door to get Suki and Sokka for breakfast. They came back to Aang chasing Gyatso as he squealed and ran around the house. "Mommy's back!" Aang said.

Gyatso ran to Katara and grabbed onto her leg. Katara playfully said "Where did you go Little One?" Half playing half serious her belly was too big to see him.

"Mommy!" Gyatso said. Aang picked him up and brought him to the table.

"There you are!" Katara said kissing her little boy. Aang pulled her chair out for her. "Thank You Sweetie." She said kissing his cheek.

"Happy birthday, Aang" Sokka said.

"Sokka we have that gift for you." Aang said.

"A gift for ME on YOUR birthday?" Sokka asked.

Katara got up and disappeared into their bedroom. She emerged 2 minutes later with a long package. "Sokka, Aang and I want to thank you for taking care of me and Gyatso while he was missing." She handed the package to Sokka.

Sokka unwrapped the package. "A Sword?"

"Pull it out of its sheath." Katara said.

Sokka unsheathed the sword and saw its black blade. "A Space Sword! Oh my Spirits! Thank you guys so much!"

Katara had on a huge smile. "I knew you would love it!"

"But how?" Sokka asked them.

"Before we left for our honeymoon I got the meteor pieces from Suki." Katara explained.

"You guys are so awesome." Sokka said.

"The table is set Avatar Aang, Lady Katara." Jade said as she finished putting sweet rice into the 5 bowls.

"Thank you Jade." Katara said.

"I will go get your clothes laid out Lady Katara." Jade told her.

"Did you guys know, its been exactly 2 years from the day of the explosion?" Katara reminded them. The day of the explosion was on Aang's 18th birthday. The day was burned into her soul, like the shadows burned into the ground where the A-Bombs were dropped on Japan.

"The feast will be starting in half an hour." Katara said. "We should head down soon so that we get there in time."

They all walked down to the feast together... Gyatso toddling a little in front of them. He didn't want to be carried. Acolytes smiled and giggled as they saw the Mini-Airbender, he laughed as he moved as quickly as his little legs would carry him. Whenever he passed someone he would say "Hi!" then kept moving.

"Wow he moves quick!" Sokka said proud of his little nephew.

"Yeah, quicker than Mommy can move now." Katara said. "I'm not looking forward to when he figures out how to Airbend while running. He is learning fast. You saw him jump from Appa when we got to the Southern Water Tribe. He worries me."

"He a natural Airbender." Aang said. "A pretty good one, too. There is nothing to worry about."

Aang ran up behind Gyatso and grabbed him. Gyatso squealed in delight as Daddy tossed him into the air then caught him. Aang tossed him a couple more times. Gyatso loved it when Daddy played with him.

"I love my Airbenders." Katara said as she watched them play. "Even though they both scare the crap out of me all the time."

They reached the Dinning Hall area, the tables were rearranged. Fall was causing a cold breeze so the Feast was indoors, they took their normal seats at the head table. Sokka and Suki sat next to Katara.

Xing Ying stood up and everyone quieted down immediately. "Welcome everyone! Tonight we are celebrating Avatar Aang's 20th birthday!"

"Happy birthday Avatar Aang!" Everyone said together.

"Let the feast begin!" Xing Ying said then sat down.

After everyone was done with dinner they brought out a massive cake. Everyone ate cake and had a wonderful time.

"We are headed out tomorrow." Katara told her Maidens. "Are you all packed and ready to go Jade?"

"Yes, Lady Katara." Jade said.

Jade was almost the same size as Katara, Katara was just a bit bigger in the boob region so she lent her dresses to Jade, as Jade was making her own still. Also Katara would have access to her regular clothes after the babies were born. Katara also had some of the most beautiful maternity dresses anyone had ever seen. All were fit for a queen... More like fit for The wife of the most powerful man in the world, The Avatar.

Appa was loaded and ready to go. Jade was a bit scared, she had never really been close to Appa before, let alone ridden on him. She was usually one that stood back when Appa landed or took off.

"He is gentle. He's just a big fluffy loveable ten-ton ball of sweetness." Katara told Jade as she brought Jade to Appa's face. "Aren't you Appa?" Katara said as she put a head of cabbage into his open mouth then pat his nose. *RRRRRR*

Gyatso tackled Appa's face hugging him "APPA!" he said.

"See even Gyatso loves Appa." Katara laughed.

"There is absolutely nothing to be afraid of. He is my best friend, I've had him since I was 6." Aang told Jade. Aang picked Katara up and jumped onto Appa's head and set her down. Then he jumped down and picked up Suki and jumped into the saddle and set her down, finally he grabbed Gyatso and sat down on Appa's head with his son in his lap . Sokka and Jade climbed up into the saddle. "Is everyone ready?" Aang asked

"Yeah." Everyone said.

"Yip Yip!" Aang said and Appa flew into the sky.

"Ip Ip!" Gyatso copied. They all laughed.

Their first stop was a day's break at Kyoshi Island. Suki's parents where delighted to see them. Katara saw Koko, who's jaw dropped when she saw how large Katara's belly was. They left the next morning.

They flew for hours. Katara was getting hungry and she was VERY uncomfortable, she needed to stretch her legs and back. Aang noticed a little Mining Village that looked VERY familiar, it was Haru's village. "I see a village below, that we could take a break at." Aang said, he didn't tell them anymore than that. He landed Appa on the outskirts of the village.

"This place looks very familiar." Katara said.

"It does, doesn't it?" Sokka said. "I just can't place it."

They walked into the village and went into a Restaurant to eat. They sat down and ordered food, Aang took Gyatso to the restroom to change his diaper. Katara's back was to the door. "Katara? Is that you?" Someone from behind her said. Haru walked over to their table. "Oh my Spirits, I didn't expect to see you!" He was VERY happy to see her. It was her hair loopies that he recognized her by.

"Haru! How have you been?" Katara said standing up to greet him.

"WOW! You are huge! You got married? To Who? Do I know him?" Haru asked now he was a bit disappointed he had had quite a big crush on her.

"Seriously," she laughed 'You haven't heard! I thought it had spread across the whole world already!"

"No, I didn't hear you got married. Why would your marriage spread all across the world? Who did you marry?"

Katara was laughing pretty hard now "My clothes don't give it away?"

"Your clothes?"

"MOMMY!" Gyatso said as he came running from the bathroom followed closely by Aang.

"You married Aang?! Wow. I guess word of The Avatar's marriage would spread across the world." Haru said.

"Hello Haru, it is wonderful to see you again!" Aang bowed to him.

"I guess Congratulations are in order, Married and have children. How far along are you Katara?"

"I'm 7 months along... so is Suki!" Katara said.

"You are twice as big as she is!" Haru said.

"Yeah, we're having twins." Aang said proudly.

"What's his name and how old is he?" Haru asked.

"His name is Gyatso, and he is 16 months old now." Katara said.

"Is he a bender?" Haru asked.

"He is an Airbender!" Aang said even more proud than he was a moment ago.

"That is so awesome! Another Airbender!" Haru said. "Sokka how are you?"

"I'm doing well, I'm in training to be Chief of the Southern Water Tribe!"

"Wow, Katara is married to Aang, The Avatar, Sokka is going to be Chief of the Southern Water Tribe... you two have become very important people since the war ended." Haru said.

"No we haven't, we're Just Sokka and Katara." Sokka said.

"No, you are Soon-to-be-Chief Sokka and Lady Katara." Haru said.

"Haru," Katara said, "we knew you from before when we weren't anything more than Sokka and Katara."

"I know, but now you guys are more and I'm just a simple miner." Haru said disappointingly.

"You are our friend... If you ever need anything we will be here for you, having friends in high places is always a good thing." Aang said.

"I'm just surprised that you guys are married, and are parents. How old are you?" Haru asked.

"I just turned twenty two weeks ago." Aang said.

"I'll be twenty-two in a few weeks." Katara said happily.

"Haru," someone from the counter called him, "Your order is ready."

"It was awesome seeing you all again. I need to grab my lunch and get back to the mine. Goodbye Katara, goodbye everyone."

"Goodbye Haru." They all said.

"Was it just me, or did he seem a little disappointed when he saw that Katara was pregnant and married?" Suki said.

"A Little, He was one of those guys that liked Katara." Sokka said.

"One of those guys?" Suki asked.

"Yeah," Sokka said, "There were 3, Aang, Haru, and Jet."

"Did you like any of them back?" Suki asked.

"Ha-ha-ha, you think I'm stupid enough to answer that, We don't need a jealous Avatar..." Katara joked. "Well, OK, I did love Aang' back when we were in Ba Sing Se."

"I hate Jet!" Aang said. "Wait, WHAT?!"

"Aang didn't know." She blushed bright red and giggled.

"Really?!" Aang was in shock.

"Yes Sweetie, really." Katara said then she leaned over and kissed him, Now he was blushing.

"That's so cute, she is 7 months pregnant with his twins and they still make each other blush." Suki said.

Jade came into the restaurant, blushing a bit. "Hi Jade, what's up?" Katara asked noticing the blush on her cheeks.

"I just ran into a really cute Earthbender. His name is..."

"Haru" Katara finished for her and laughed.

"How did you know his name?" Jade said.

"He was one of the people we helped in our travels." Aang said.

"He was the Earthbender I told you about, that we helped break out of the Fire Nation Prison camp with his father." Katara said to Jade

"He was there with us for the invasion on the day of the black sun." Aang added at the end.

"He is sweet, I encourage you to keep in contact with him." Katara said.

"He was one of those guys that had a crush on Katara." Aang said.
