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 59

They all walked down together. Gyatso actually ran in front of them, saying "Hi" to everyone they passed. Acolytes stopped to watch the Toddler as he went along.

"Avatar Aang, Lady Katara, he is just the cutest little boy ever." Xing Ying said as she watched Gyatso move his chubby little legs as quickly as he could.

"Thank you, I think I liked it better before he could walk." Katara said. "He is almost too quick for me."

"Xing Ying, I have wonderful news that Lady Katara gave me last night. Sapphire is an Airbender!" Aang said proudly to her.

"That is wonderful! Thank You Lady Katara, You have tripled the Airbender population! The mother to The Air Nomads"

"Aang is the one to thank for that. I'm just a simple Waterbender from the South Pole." Katara said. "Hold on a second, I need to go chase Gyatso down before he gets to far away from us." Katara handed Aang Sapphire and ran after her son.

"Hey, Little One, get back here! Mommy and Daddy stopped to talk, you can't keep going!" Katara said as she ran after Gyatso.

Everyone laughed as they watch Katara run after the Mini-Airbender telling him to stop. "Aang, I need your help, I can't catch him."

"OK, my love, I'm coming." He turned to Xing Ying "Can you hold Sapphire for a second?"

"Oh, ok." She replied as Aang handed her the baby and took off running after his son.

"Daddy is going to get you!" Katara called to her little boy.

Aang picked up speed before his son could get into the open areas and become harder to catch. Then he realized that Gyatso was starting to use his Airbending to move quicker. Aang sped up even more, he reached Gyatso and grabbed him and picked him up. "You need to stay with Mommy and Daddy!" Aang told him as they skidded to a stop. He walked back to Katara and the rest of their group.

"We have a problem, Katara..." Aang said.

"What is it?" Katara asked him.

"He is starting to figure out how to run." Aang said.

"Oh Spirits, help me!" Katara said with exasperation. "Twins and a runner! How am I going to keep up with them? I should have stayed home and helped Gran Gran like I was suppose to instead of going with Sokka."

"Hey, that's not nice!" Aang said.

"What does she mean by staying home to help her Gran Gran? And why is it not nice?" Haru asked.

"She went fishing with Sokka and their boat got swept up in a current. The boat was crushed between two chunks of Ice and they were stranded. She started yelling at Sokka..." Aang said.

Jade picked up where Aang left off, "When she yelled at Sokka she split a massive Iceberg and a frozen air bubble surfaced with Aang and Appa inside it."

"So if she stayed with her Gran Gran, like she was supposed to… Aang would still be in the frozen bubble under that Iceberg." Haru connected it.

"I'm so sorry Sweetie, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it at all, I'm so so sorry, really I am sweetie. I just feel overwhelmed right now with Gyatso just starting to figure out how to run, he is figuring out how to Airbend so fast... and I'm so tired, Kya and Sapphire wake up every 2 hours to eat… I love you. I would never want a life that didn't have you or our children."

"I know, My Love, I forgive you." Aang said then kissed the top of her head.

She was starting to look stressed and tired, she had been smiling less and less this last week. Her hair had lost it's shine, her eyes didn't sparkle anymore. Under her eyes were puffy and dark.

"Sparring will help a bit, my love. I will have dinner brought up to us." Aang told her.

They got down to their spot near the waterfall. Aang spread out the blanket and everyone sat down. Jasmine, Lilly, Rose and Blossom were already down by the waterfall doing cartwheels and trying to flip like Avatar Aang and Katara can. They took charge of Gyatso and started running around and playing with him. He was squealing with delight as they all ran around the open field.

Katara took off her over robe and pulled her dress strings up to lift the bottom of her dress above her knees. They both took off their shoes, then Aang took off his Top shirt robe and took his stance, Katara took her's.

They spared for about an hour and a half when Kya started to fuss. "Time to feed them." Katara said. She pulled most of the water off of herself and went to the blanket, she picked up her cup to get a drink of water, while Aang bent an Earth tent. Katara looked down into her cup and watched as the water rippled. She stopped the rippling by bending it. Then Kya screamed louder and the water rippled more.

"Katara, what's wrong? Kya is hungry..." Aang said.

"Aang come here... Watch..." Katara stopped the rippling again. As Kya got louder the water in Katara's cup rippled more. Aang stopped the rippling and again Kya's screaming made it ripple again.

"She's a Waterbender!" Katara said happily. The sparkle came back to her eyes for a second when she seen what her daughter was doing. Katara crawled into the earth tent and fed the twin girls.

"Jade Haru, Could you two walk to the kitchen and get us some snacks, please?" Aang asked them, giving them a bit of alone time to talk and get to know each other.

About 20 minutes later Katara crawled out of the earth tent. "Where are Jade and Haru?" She asked.

"Oh, I sent them to the kitchen to bring us all back some snacks. I thought they might like a bit of time to themselves." Aang told his wife.

"That was sweet of you." Katara's smile was back.

"I'm so happy you are happy again." Aang said to her

"Yeah, I get to teach Kya everything I know. I'm so happy that Kya is a Waterbender." Katara said.

"I'm happy she is too. I Love being The Avatar, even I can help teach Kya Waterbending."

"Aang, I'm so sorry for what I said, I didn't mean it... not even for a second. I don't want a life without you, without our 3 sweet exhausting Babies... I love our family... every bit of it." She smiled.

"I know, My Love, I forgive you." Aang said.

Katara sat down next to Aang laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. After about 2 minutes Aang could hear that Katara's breathing got deeper. He smiled when he realized she had drifted off to sleep. He moved her head onto his lap, he didn't want her to fall over. He stroked her hair as she slept, she really was worn out.

Jade and Haru came back laughing and each were carrying a basket. Aang put his finger to his lips and shushed them so they wouldn't wake up Katara.

"Wow she has been exhausted lately." Haru whispered.

"Yeah. Jade I need you to organize our house for a couple days, so that Katara can get in a bit of rest, she really needs some. You run the house; put the younger girls to work to help lift some of the work from Katara's shoulders. Let her rest and concentrate on just the twins and sleep for a few days.

"Yes, Aang. I'll make sure everything is taken care of." Jade said. "Looks like I will actually be working." She laughed lightly. "Lilly, Jasmine, Blossom, and Rose, I need you to get Gyatso and bring him to Avatar Aang and Lady Katara's home, he needs a nap. Haru and I'll stop at the kitchen on our way up and pick up something to make for dinner. Avatar Aang, we will leave the twins with you and Lady Katara. How long will you be out here?"

"I think we will be out here until Kya and Sapphire wake up. When they do, I'll wake Katara up and we will head up... Jade?"

"Yes, Avatar Aang?"

"Thank you for stepping right in and organizing my house."

"It's why I'm here." She said with a smile, then left with Haru walking next to her.

Aang let Katara sleep for a little while. She needed the rest badly. He decided to enjoy the peace of that field and meditate until Katara or the twins wake up, whichever comes first. Katara's head was laying in his lap but he didn't mind. He felt horrible about how hard things where for her right now... She had looked really worn out, her beautiful sparked had fizzed out. It made him sad to see her like this. His Katara had disappeared; he wanted to find her again. 'How can I find her again, what can I do? I miss My Love's sparkle and shine, it hurts to see it gone.' He thought to himself. He focused his meditation on what he can do to help her.

After about an hour of silence Aang heard Katara starting to wake up. He opened his eyes to find her looking up at him confused. "What's wrong, My Love?" He asked her.

"Did I fall asleep?" she said

"Yes, you did."

"I'm sorry, I ruined out outing."

"No, you needed the rest. Jade has stepped into her duties; the younger Girls took Gyatso up to our house for his nap. Haru went with Jade to get something to cook for dinner, which she is cooking." He told her. "I want you to take a couple days to focus only on the twins and yourself." a small tear ran down his cheek.

"What's wrong Sweetie?" She asked him.

"Your sparkle and shine are gone... I want you to get them back. I guess I hadn't realize how hard things are for you, not getting much sleep, chasing Gyatso all the time. You go above and beyond being Lady Katara helping everyone, doing more than your share of the work... Three babies that need you around the clock... I was trying to figure out what I can do to help you get your Shine and Sparkle back... I want my Katara." He said to his beautiful bride.

"It's just part of who I am, who I have always been... To help wherever I am needed, I'm not selfish... I hardly even think of myself, of what I want... Sokka told me NOT to break open the bubble..."

"My Life, everything I am... Everything I have become, Everything I have, Everything in my future, Everything I've done, Gyatso's, Kya's, and Sapphire's lives and futures have all come back to one angry girl that has to help when she sees someone who needs her help... This is why I love you, Why I love you more and more every day, why I want you to be happy... to Sparkle and Shine, My Love."

"Oh, Aang, I love you... Everything I am comes back to that angry girl that helps too. I wouldn't be right here right now, I wouldn't have my wonderful husband, I wouldn't have my 3 beautiful children..." She wrapped her arms around his neck and held on sobbing into his shoulder. "I'm just so tired right now."

"Let's go home, you go into our room and lay down, I'll bring you dinner as soon as it is done. You have 5 girls working in our home, Jade is going to be running our home until you are rested and have your sparkle back. I just want you to worry about yourself and feeding the twins. The girls can cook and clean and take care of Gyatso, I'll check in on you often, I can't stop what I am doing though, the housing and meeting hall have to get done before the next meeting in 2 months. Once we are finished I will spend every day at home with you. We could even go visit your family for a few days. Sokka will have to come here for the meetings anyways so we could bring him and his family back with us, get them settled into the apartment they will be staying in."

The baby girls started fussing and Aang and Katara picked them up and walked back to their home. When they got back home Jade was in the kitchen cooking and talking with Haru, she blushed a bit and giggled at something he said. "Hello Lady Katara, Avatar Aang." She said with a bow. Everything you asked us to do is done."

"Where did the Lady and Avatar come in from?" Katara asked Jade.

"I am on duty, I am working, and while I work I will use your titles." Jade explained "Right now you are my Employers, not my friends."

"I'm taking Katara in to lie down, I will be bringing her dinner in to her when it is done, she needs her rest." Aang told Jade.

"Yes, Avatar Aang. I understand." Jade said with a bow.
