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 56

Katara was at home when she heard the ancient horn blow, announcing the approach of someone. It was a day and a half earlier than the four days he had originally estimated. She and the girls got the babies together and rushed down to the square, where Appa always lands, as quickly as they could. She knew Aang would be okay while he was gone, but she was a bit anxious the entire time. The horn blowing made all her worries melt away like a snowman in the summer.

As he got closer to the ground he spotted Katara running to the square followed by her five maidens. He smiled the moment he had seen her, she had their three children with her. "We're home Appa!" Aang said. Appa landed just a couple minutes later. As soon as Appa landed Aang jumped down and hugged his wife and children. He was so happy to be back, even though he had only been gone for two and a half days, it felt like forever to him, he missed his family.

Haru climber out of Appa's saddle. Jade started to blush... She couldn't believe what she saw. Aang started laughing at the young woman who was now bright red and giving him the evil eye. "I can't believe you two!"

Now Katara was laughing too. "At least you know we love you, Jade."

Haru climbed out of Appa's saddle.

"Hello Haru," Katara said and hugged him, "it feels like forever since we've seen you."

Aang had relieved Jade of Sapphire while Katara had Kya.

"Aang, they are more beautiful than you had said they were." Haru said looking at the twin girls.

"Thank you, Haru." Katara said.

Aang had turned to look for Jade, it seems she had disappeared into the crowd as soon as he had relieved her of Sapphire. "Where did Jade go?" he asked.

"Probably to hide in a Sky Bison cave." Katara laughed.

"Aang, I have some exciting news for you! I won't tell you until we get back home first though." She was glowing with excitement.

"Haru, we are going to have you stay in our home, in the guest bedroom. I need to find my Maiden though, she was staying with me while Aang was gone." Katara said.

They walked back to their apartment with Haru following closely behind them. When they got home, Jade was already there setting the table for lunch. She looked up and smiled at them as they came in. Haru was in shock, the beautiful young woman he had run into almost four months ago was setting the table at Aang and Katara's home. "Hello Jade." He blushed.

Jade blushed, he had remembered her name.

Katara played dumb. "Haru, do you know my maiden Jade? She has worked in my home for about six months now."

"Ummm... Yeah I ran into her when you guys where last in my Village." He said.

"Oh, what a wonderful turn of events! I didn't know you knew Jade!"

"Katara, you said you had exciting news for me."

"Oh my spirits. I almost forgot, with how amazing it is that Haru and Jade knew each other." Katara said.

"SO the exciting news?" he asked again.

"White fuzzy dandelions got blown everywhere yesterday while we were out... Sapphire had a sneezing fit and she almost slipped out of the girls hold!"

"Sapphire is an Airbender?! Kya didn't?"

"Yes Sapphire is, no nothing from Kya yet. They are only a couple of months old, we just have to wait and see."

"Did I just hear you say that one of the twins is an Airbender?" Haru asked.

Aang was beaming. "Two of my three children are Airbenders!"

"That is awesome, there are now three Airbenders in the world, you must be so happy! Congratulations Aang and Katara." Haru said to them.

"Thank you, Haru." They said to him

"Lunch is ready." Jade said to them all.

"Jade why don't you join us for lunch?" Katara said.

"Ok, thank you Katara." Jade blushed a bit as she sat across from Haru.

"So, how are we going to make our home bigger?" Katara asked.

"Oh, well I want to bring down the wall in between these two apartments then close off the door area, then I want to... Oh, I just need to draw it out so that Haru and I have a visual on what to do. We should be able to bend it all, it is made from Earth." Aang told them all.

"That shouldn't take a couple months." Haru said.

"No, I want to make the area for Acolytes bigger, we keep getting more and more everyday. I also need to renovate this area by our apartment for Visiting Dignitaries, like they have in Ba Sing Se. At The World Leadership meetings they talked about having the meetings rotate between the different Nations. I need to make a Meeting Hall and places for the Leaders to stay at during the time they will be here. They want to have them every six months and last three months long. They will be in the Winters and in the Summers durring the Solstices. They want the next meetings here at The Southern Air Temple this Summer, we have two months to get it all done. I know we can get it all done quickly, The Acolytes will all be put to working on everything... well not ALL, you will have your girls and the kitchen staff will stay where they are and everyday our greenhouses will be checked on."

"Wow Aang that sounds like a lot of work, where are we going to start?" Haru asked.

"We will start the Meeting Hall and the Visiting Dignitary residents first. With two Master Earthbenders things should go quickly." Aang told them. "After lunch I can show you all where the meeting hall will be put. The Residents will be right here next to our apartment, I want to expand our apartment before we start working on the others... but those don't really need to be as big as I want our home to be, Katara."

After lunch Aang sat down on the floor and played with Gyatso. He loved showing him Airbending tricks. Gyatso's all-time favorite trick was sitting on daddy's lap while he rides an air scooter. Katara walked out of their room with the second sleeping baby she had just fed.

"So Haru, you have met Jade before?" She asked knowing what she and Aang had brought him here to get to know Jade.

"Yeah, I bumped into her that day that I saw you guys in that restaurant, I was leaving as she was coming in." he explained.

"That is truly amazing." Katara said... She was a GREAT actor. "I would love to hear the story!"

Aang glanced over at Katara, he had remembered back to all those times she pretended to be someone else, June Padelapsacopeles (A/N However it is spelled, lol), The Painted Lady, Sapphire Fire, she was always a great actress. And she was playing innocent so well.

Katara noticed Aang was looking at her with his eyebrow raised, She smiled big at him and mouthed "I love you." to him.

"Well, I had just talked to you and Aang, I still think it's a little surprising that you two got married... Aang just always seemed like a"

"Goofy kid with a crush." Aang finished for him. "Yeah I get that a lot." he laughed, and returned to doing Airbending tricks for Gyatso.

"We haven't even been married for a year yet." Katara said.

"Not even a year yet?! But you have a baby about a year and a half old." Haru said confused a bit.

"Yeah... we do... Anyways..." Katara said moving Haru along. "What happened after they said your order was ready?"

"I was still surprised that you two got married and I wasn't paying attention and I walked right into Jade, I accidentally knocked her down. I apologized to her, and help her dust her dress off... it was the dress you are wearing right now Katara... we exchanged names... I had never seen her before and I thought I'd never see her again."

"Jade borrowed my dresses while I was pregnant." Katara told him.

"It is so amazing that Aang wanted your help with the renovations and Jade works for me!"

"Katara, working for you is like spending everyday with my best friend." Jade told her. Jade KNEW Aang and Katara had set up this 'Amazing Coincidence' and that Katara was a really great actress.

"Okay, are we going to see where the meeting hall will be put?" Katara asked. "Jade can carry Sapphire, if you want to keep playing with Gyatso while we walk."

"Yeah, I'll take Gyatso on an Air Scooter ride down there." Aang said excitedly, he loved taking Gyatso on Air Scooter rides.

Katara packed a basket of snacks and a bag with diapers and a blanket. "Ok we are all ready to go, Aang."

They walked down a few levels and passed a beautiful cascading waterfall. Aang stopped at the building that eight years ago he found the skeleton of his beloved Guardian Monk Gyatso. "We can turn this old building into a place for us to have our World Leadership Meetings. It needs to be cleaned up and with quite a bit of bending I think we can make it look really great again."

"Aang this building would make a great Meeting Hall and the walk down is beautiful." Katara told him.

"Yeah, I'll get the Acolytes down here tomorrow to clean up, then Haru and I can fix it up nice again." Aang said. "We will start renovating our home while the Acolytes clean up here. I think two months is plenty to get most of the work done... Then we can start working on the Acolyte housing."

"You really do have quite a bit of work that needs to be done." Haru said.

"I will be paying you for all your work here. You don't need to worry about food, since you will be staying with us in our home, you could move into the male Acolyte Dorms if you want, but I'd like you to stay with us. The Kitchen will give you food too if you wish to eat there. You won't need to worry about money while you are at The Southern Air Temple." Aang explained. "So what do you think, Haru?"

"Everything is great, I would love to stay in your home... It is an honor to be looked so highly on by The Avatar and his wife." Haru said.

"Haru, you are our friend, we are just Aang and Katara, you don't need to call us Avatar Aang and Lady Katara, and it is OUR HONOR to have you as a guest in our home." Katara said.

"Now let's go sit by that waterfall and have a snack." Aang said.

They chatted as they sat and ate the delicious fruit Katara had packed for their snacks.

Aang had his son in his lap, sharing his fruit.

"One more thing..." Katara said to Haru, "We don't have any meat here. Air Nomads are Vegetarians. I hope that's Ok."

"Okay, I didn't know that, but it's ok food is food." Haru said.

"Don't worry, Haru, I'm a great cook, you won't notice the lack of meat." Katara said with a smile. "I have a stash of Seal Jerky if you need some though."

"You're not a Vegetarian like Aang?" Haru asked.

"No, I'm not, and Aang is ok with it." Katara told him.

The twins started fussing so Aang made an Earth Tent for Katara to feed the two beautiful baby girls in for privacy. Aang listened as Katara hummed to their babies just like she did for Gyatso. She had a beautiful voice, soothing and calm. After about half an hour both babies had full tummies and they were sleeping.
