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 55

There was a knock at their door, Katara opened it to find Jingbo standing with some mail for them. "Oh Hi Jingbo! How are you? Come in." She smiled to him. Jingbo was about 16-17 years old now.

"Hel... Hello, La... Lady Katara." He stuttered and blushed a bit.

"Aang, Jingbo is here." She said as she popped her head into his office.

"Okay, thank you, My Love." Aang said as he walked out of his office. "Hello Jingbo, what can I do for you?"

"Uuummmm... I... I have a letter for you and one for La... Lady Ka... Katara." He stuttered nervously again as he said Katara's name.

Aang Smiled, realizing that Jingbo was nervous around Katara. "Thank You for bringing them to us, Jingbo." Aang said.

Katara smiled to, "Yes, thank you for bringing them to us Jingbo. Would you like to see the twins?"

"Oh yes, you must, Jingbo they are as beautiful as their mother!" Aang said to him.

Jingbo went nervously to Aang as he looked down at Kya and Sapphire's beautiful faces. He smiled "They are very beautiful Avatar Aang. Oh, I've never seen eyes that blue before!"

"Aren't they just amazing, it's like looking down into pools of Spirit Water!" Aang proudly said. "They get that from The Water Tribe Blood in them."

"Water Tribe?" Jingbo asked.

"Yes, Lady Katara is from The Southern Water Tribe." Aang told Jingbo.

"Like the girl that found you?" Jingbo asked.

"EXACTLY like the girl who found him." She said with a laugh.

"Did you know her?" Jingbo asked Katara.

Katara started laughing she could barely talk.

"She IS the girl who found me." Aang said.

"Oh, I didn't know, I'm sorry."

"When they teach you guys about me they really need to stop calling me 'The Water Tribe Girl that found him.' But I guess Katara gets dropped because so many of the girls were crushing on Aang." She said.

"Thank You for bringing us the mail Jingbo." Katara said.

"Oh... Uuummmm... Y... You're welcome La... Lady Katara." He stuttered turning 5 shades of red, and then he bowed to each of them and ran out.

"Oh that was just adorable!" Katara said. "Now I know how you feel when the girls get all blushy with you." She laughed.

"Well of course he blushed, I married the most beautiful woman in the world." He said as he pulled her against himself and kissed her.

"Where are your girls? Aren't they usually here by now?"

"Oh, I gave them today off." She told him. "I wanted to spend time with just you and our 3 babies."

"Oh, ok, awesome." He said

"So what did Jingbo bring up?" Katara asked.

"Oh, they are letters to us. Here, this is from your dad." He said as he handed her one of the letters. "The other is from Haru."

"Oh, he answered you. What did he say?" Katara asked.

"Avatar Aang, Thank you for inviting me to The Southern Air Temple, it is an honor. I would like to accept your invitation. I talked to my boss and he said you had already sent him a letter, asking for my help. He said I have permission to help you for as long as I am needed there. You said in your letter that you would be coming to get me, if I chose to go. Aang, Katara, I would love to see you both again, and I accept your invitation. Thank you, Haru." Aang read out laud.

"Oh that is so exciting, he is coming here. Jade will like him." Katara said.

"Ok, your turn. What does your dad say?" Aang asked her.

"My Daughter Katara, It was a wonderful surprise to receive a letter from you. You where about 2 when we found out you were a Waterbender, Sokka picked on you and when you got really mad the ice started cracking. Pakku said really powerful Waterbenders may crack the ice as early as 1-year-old. I wish there was a way to know if they are benders sooner, but as far as I know, there isn't. I Love you and we all miss you, Love Dad." Katara read to him.

"Well, I guess it will be a while before we know if they are benders or not." Katara said.

"That's ok, it doesn't matter if they are benders or not." Aang said to his wife.

"So, when are you going to go get Haru?" Katara asked him.

"It's going to take two days to get there and two days to get back, Do you want to go with me, or it might be better if you stay here, with your girls. It's a tiring trip for the babies. I know I promised you I wouldn't leave you alone again, that is why I am asking YOU what YOU want to do." He told her.

"Oh, well, I could stay home and Jade stay in the twins' room while you are gone. We are not using that room just yet." Katara said. "Four days is not a big deal... Who knows, you could go faster if Appa isn't loaded down with all the stuff we need for our whole little family."

"I Love how you always see the bright side of things, My Love. You look for the good even if it seems like there is no good left. You have always brought me hope, and you always will." He told her with a kiss.

"So, when are you planning to leave, to get him?" Katara asked him.

"I am going to leave first thing in the morning, and travel light, like you said." Aang said. "It may only take me a total of three days to get there and back with it just being me going."

"Yeah, I'll be ok, Sweetie. Really I will." She smiled. "You'll be ok, too."

"I know, I'm just nervous about leaving you and the babies. The last time I left you, I went missing for a year and a half." Aang said to her. "I missed your entire pregnancy and nine months of Gyatso's life, I don't want to miss a year and a half of Kya and Sapphire's lives too."

"OK," Katara brought the mood back to a happier one, "What all do you need for your trip? Are you going to need a sleeping bag? We need to get you food for your trip."

He started laughing. "We can worry about that in a little bit. I just want to hold you right now. I need to get some extra time in, with me being gone for a few days."

"You are such a Little Flirt! I love you and I'll miss you, too." She smiled.

"I can't help it, you are so beautiful that it just slips out!" He said flashing his pearly whites.

"It's okay, I like it." Her cheeks turned pink for a few seconds.

They were so in love that even after almost eight years together and three children, they still made each other blush. Katara has been admitting stuff to him that he had no clue about how she felt. He thought he was confused before, now she was saying stuff like, 'I needed you' and 'I loved you, I was just too confused to know it'. His wife is so confusing, she still confuses the hell out of him, too.

"I like it too." He said.

Gyatso came running out of his room. "Mommy, Daddy!"

"Did you have a good nap?" Aang asked his son as he picked him up and hugged him.

"Would you like a snack, Little One?" Katara asked him.

She heard Kya start to fuss. "I guess our alone time is over, our Parental duties are needed."

Aang picked up Kya as Katara got a pear for Gyatso's snack. "Here Little One." She handed him the fruit.

"Ok, let me see Kya so I can feed her while Sapphire is still sleeping." Katara told her husband.

After Kya filled her little belly, Sapphire started fussing. "Perfect timing!" Katara laughed then fed Sapphire.

"Goodbye, Sweetie. Be safe! We Love you!" Katara kissed her husband. "Appa take care of Aang, bring him back home." She said as she patted his forehead.

*RRRRRRR*

"Bye Bye Daddy." Gyatso said to him.

Aang kissed the twins, then he jumped onto Appa's head. "Goodbye, I'll see you in a few days. I love you!"

He took one last look at his family all smiling up at him. "Yip Yip!" He said and Appa took off into the air.

Katara and her girls walked to the dinning hall for lunch. "I miss him already." she sighed.

"Katara, he will be ok for a few days." Jade told her.

"I know, it just worries me a bit." Katara said.

"Where is he going? You two never said where he was going." Jade said.

"Oh, he is going to see someone about renovations here." Katara said to Jade.

"I thought renovations were almost done." Jade said.

"Restorations are almost done, Aang wants to make a couple of adjustments to our home, make it a bit bigger so that we have more space and a couple more rooms." Katara and Aang had gone over what to tell people so that they could surprise Jade.

Aang started missing his family already, and he had only been flying for a few hours. He was nervous about leaving them all at the air temple, he had not gone anywhere without them since his reunion with them at The Southern Water Tribe Village. He decided to meditate to help himself feel better.

Spring was in full bloom at The Southern Air Temple. Winter had come and gone while they were in Ba Sing Se. "Mommy's going to get you!" Katara chased Gyatso around the beautiful field of green grass and white fluffy dandelions while her Maidens sat on the big blanket and ooooh-ed at the twins.

A breeze blew across the field. It picked up a few white Dandelion seeds. Katara grabbed Gyatso just as he sneezed. "Wow, Little One, Good thing Mommy got you!" she told her son as he sneezed a second time. "Girls, hold Kya and Sapphire, I don't know if they are benders but I don't want something bad to happen if they are Airbenders."

"Yes, Lady Katara."

She heard the twins sneeze a couple of times themselves... Then there was a hard sneeze, air blasted across the field.

"Which one was that?!" Katara called.

"It was Sapphire, Katara! Does that mean Sapphire is an Airbender?" Jade said excitedly.

"Oh my Spirits! Yes it does! Aang is going to be so happy!" Katara was just bubbling with excitement. "We CANNOT tell anyone Sapphire is an Airbender until AFTER I tell Aang. Everyone understand? He's going to be ssssssoooooo happy!"

"Yes, Lady Katara, we understand."

"Another Airbender, How exciting! There are three now!"

"Hello, Haru, Thank you for accepting my invitation to help out with some renovations of The Southern Air Temple." Aang said to his friend.

"Thank You Aang, for the invitation. When I asked my foreman for some time off to help you, He told me he had already received a letter from 'The Avatar' requesting my help, that I could take as much time as you need me for."

"Yeah, I wanted to make sure you would not get in trouble for helping me." Aang said. "It's kind of funny, people always seem to say Yes to anything I ask for."

"I just don't completely understand, Why do you need my help, you are an Earthbender too?"

"Oh... It will be easier if I have a second Earthbender to help me." Aang told Haru.

"You could have asked Toph for her help, she is the world's best Earthbender." Haru said.

"I don't want to take her away from her Metalbending school for too long. It may take a few months to get everything done that I want to do." Aang said.

"Ok..."

"Just accept my invitation, be happy, and have a good time away from the mine!" Aang laughed.
