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 57
"You're such a good actress." Aang said to his wife as she was sitting on their bed humming to her little girls as she fed them.
"I know, I've been June, Sapphire Fire, The Painted Lady, A fire Nation Colonial, AND while you where gone I hid a pregnancy forsix months." She said. "Only Suki knew I was pregnant."
"Oh, yeah I forgot about that one." Aang said to her.
"Why? Do you think I acted with you?" Katara asked.
"No, I, of course not, I was just surprised at how well you played innocent. I had forgotten how good you were at it." he said.
"Sweetie, I have never lied or 'Acted" to you... Well... ok... That's a lie right there, sorry... there was back years ago before the war ended, but that was a different time all together."
"You still confuse the hell out of me!" He told her shaking his head
"Sweetie, I love you and I have for a LONG, LONG time... Longer than you know." She said with a large toothy grin. "The only thing that means more to me than you, is our children. OUR beautiful, wonderful children, adorable children." Katara got off of the bed and put the second sleeping baby in their bassinet. Then she went over to her Dressing table and started brushing her hair, she hummed as she did.
Aang had closed his eyes and let his mind drift freely. 'Her voice is so beautiful.' he thought to himself. He drifted away with her voice.
When Katara finished brushing out her hair she walked over to their bed and started to read her book that Zuko had given her before Aang had went missing. She read for about twenty minutes before she heard Aang moving around. She glanced up at him from her book and smiled.
He took off his pants then walked to his side of the bed and slid under the covers. "We have lots to do starting tomorrow morning."
"Yeah, are you sure it wont take longer than the two months we have until the meetings here?" She asked him a bit concerned.
"We have a couple hundred Air Acolytes as well two Master Earthbenders, one of which is The Avatar." He said with a smile.
"Really?! Which one?" She joked with him. "I'd like to meet him."
"He's the tall one with the Arrows tattooed on him." Aang joked back.
"No he isn't, that one's my Husband." Katara giggled.
"I hate to break it to you, but your husband is The Avatar." He playfully said.
"No he isn't, according to Sokka, he's that weird kid Aang." Katara laughed. "I love My Avatar!" She said then kissed the tip of his forehead arrow, then again softly on his lips. She laid down and he cuddled her as they went to sleep.
Katara was making Egg Custard Tarts for breakfast. She had been up for about an hour and a half, she had feed and changed the girls. She decided to stay up and Make Aang's favorite food for breakfast. She couldn't help loving him so much. He said she brought him hope, he brings her fun, the day after she had found him, he had brought fun back to The Southern Water Tribe, they had gone penguin sledding together. She was just taking the tarts out of the oven when Aang walked out of their bedroom.
"Do I smell...?" He started to ask.
"Yep, I made your favorite. Kya and Sapphire woke up to be fed, so I stayed up and cooked for you." She told him. "Good morning Sweetie, did you sleep well?" She put her arms around his neck and stretched herself as tall as she could, pulling him down as she did, and kissed him. "I love you."
Haru came out of the room he was staying in, he also had smelled the tarts.
"Good Morning Haru, breakfast is almost done it just needs to cool for a few minuets. I hope you like Egg Custard Tarts. They are Aang's favorite food." She told him.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
"She told you she is a good cook." Aang said to Haru.
"Daddy!" Gyatso came running out of his room and jumped up on Aang's lap.
"Good Morning, Little One. Are you ready to eat?" Aang asked his son.
"Yummies!" Gyatso said when he had seen the tarts.
"Mommy is spoiling us today." Aang said.
As soon as the tea was done they all sat down and started to eat. There was a knock at the door than Jade entered. She never waited for a response, she just came in. Aang and Katara had told her to knock then just come in.
"Good Morning everyone!" She said bright and cheery. "Oh, Katara that smells so wonderful."
"Come sit and have some!" Katara said "I made enough for you too. You can scoot Gyatso over a bit and sit next to him." And across from Haru. She thought.
"Haru, I have the plans all drawn out for the changes on our home." Aang said to him. "We need to go down and call a meeting with the horn, I need your help Katara, with organizing the acolytes into the separate groups we need to start working on the renovations."
"Ok, I'll put them into 4 groups, One up here cleaning, One down at the building you are turning into the meeting hall, One to move stuff around, and finally one to work in the greenhouses."
"That is perfect, thank you, My Love." Aang said to her.
About 5 minutes after the horn was blown all the Acolytes were down in the square.
"Good Morning Air Acolytes!" Aang started.
"Good Morning, Avatar Aang!" They all said.
"We have some hard work ahead of us for the next 2 months... While we were away for the World Leadership Meetings in Ba Sing Se, a decision was made to accommodate the leaders and their homes. The World Leadership meetings are going to rotate between The World Leader's homes, We have 2 months until They get here. We are going to be working on a meeting hall, the apartments by Mine and Lady Katara's need to be cleaned up, furnished, and decorated. There is a half collapsed building that I want to clean up and repair to make it into the Meeting hall, and Lady Katara and I will be expanding our apartment as well. Once all that is completed we are going to make more housing for all of you wonderful Air Acolytes! Lady Katara will be in charge of setting up 4 separate groups to work in the different area's you are needed in." Aang finished and everyone clapped.
Katara put the groups together and sent them to their assigned areas.
When it was lunch time the horn was blown to get everyone back to the main square where lunch was served picnic style by the kitchen staff. Katara, Aang, Jade, Jasmine, Blossom, Rose, Lilly, and Haru, all ate lunch together in a circle. Gyatso was sitting on Katara's lap while the twins made cute baby sounds and chewed on their blankets as they cuddled up with each other, in front of Aang. "How is everything coming along?" Aang asked Katara.
"We have the apartment next to ours cleaned and ready for you and Haru to start expand our apartment. We are working on the other ones right now for The World Leaders to stay in while they are here. We need to have 6 for the leaders, not counting ourselves because we have our home. How is the meeting hall coming along?" Katara asked Aang and Haru. She yawned.
"We should be done with the clean-up in a day or two. The attack on it had left a lot of work to be done." Aang said.
Haru kept glancing up at Jade then back down to the food sitting on the blanket in front of him. Jade was doing the same thing and every-so-often their eyes would meet and held for a few seconds.
