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 63

Katara woke up to the sounds of flying lemurs chattering in the tree outside their window. When she opened her eyes, she found Aang staring at her. "Good morning, My Love!"

"Good Morning. How long have you been awake?" She asked him.

"I don't know, I haven't been paying attention, I couldn't stop looking at you. You are so beautiful." He said.

"Aaaawwww you are always so sweet." She said as she scooted aginst him and wrapped her arm around his chest. "I love you."

"What would you like me to make you for breakfast? Anything you want." Aang asked her.

"Are you sure? Anything I want?" Katara smiled at him.

"Yes, My Love ANYTHING you want!" He was starting to wonder if 'Anything' was a good idea.

"I want... Egg custard tart!" She gave him the most innocent look she could.

"Okay... Uuummmm... Okay, how do you make that?" He asked, a bit nervous but ready to take on any challenge.

"Sweetie, how about we make it together so you will know how to make it next time?" She said to him.

"Really? You want to teach me?" Aang asked her.

"Yeah you should know how to make your favorite food, silly." She said to him. "Besides, I like teaching you."

"You are a wonderful teacher, Master Katara." He grinned.

Katara got up and put clothes on. "Will you please make tea while I make sure we have everything we need... If we don't we can walk to the kitchen and get what we need."

While Aang was making them their morning tea, Katara was looking for the stuff she needs to make the egg custard tart. They had flour, sugar, and eggs in the ice cupboard. "Okay Sweetie, we need to get milk and butter. Should we get some fruit to have with it?"

"That's a great idea." Aang said to her.

They were sitting at the table drinking their tea. "I'm going to go check on our babies." Katara said as she started to stand up.

"No! You're not allowed to!" Aang said sternly as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"But, but they're MY babies, they might need me." Katara said looking a little lost without her children.

"They're MY babies TOO... They have: Jade, Haru, Jasmine, Rose, Lilly, AND Blossom... If you are needed they are only seconds away. You need a bit of a break from them, My Love!" Aang comforted his wife.

"Would you just pop next door for me, to make sure everyone is ok? Before we go down to get the rest of what we need to make the Egg Custard Tart. To let them know we will be away from home for a few minutes... Please, Sweetie." She begged him with her anime eyes and a pout on her face.

"OK, but you have to stay right, here until I get back. Promise?" He knew she wouldn't like staying home, but she needs some time alone with him.

"OH! You..." Katara growled a bit. "Okay... I promise I'll stay here while you go there." She reluctantly agreed.

Aang knocked three times on the door of the neighboring apartment then opened it and went in. "Good Morning everyone, Katara wanted me to make sure the babies were all ok, she wanted to come too, but I wouldn't let her."

"Good Morning Avatar Aang! We made breakfast for us." Blossom told him from the table where the four younger girls and Gyatso were eating.

Jade and Haru were on the couch feeding Sapphire and Kya right now. "Hi Aang, everything is fine. It's not as hard as I thought it would be." Haru said.

"DADDY!" Gyatso said as he ran to give his daddy a hug.

"Good Morning Little One! Are you being a good boy?" Aang hugged his little Airbender tightly. "Mommy misses you guys."

"Love Mommy." Gyatso said.

"Yep," Lilly said. "He helped put the fruit on the table."

"So everyone is good? Do you need anything? Katara and I are walking down to the kitchen to get what we need to make breakfast. Do you need anything for here?"

"When Katara get's a chance, we need more bottles for the girls." Jade said. "I was planning to get lunch from the kitchen and take the babies on a picnic for lunch. The Airbenders are happier when they get to go outside everyday."

"I know... I was born an Airbender, I know what a difference going outside makes with an Airbending child's happiness. Ok, I'll have her do it after we get back from the kitchen, we should only be away for about ten minuets." Aang told them all. He gave Gyatso a big hug, then went over and kissed his twin daughters on the top of their heads. "Bye everyone."

"Bye bye, Daddy!" Gyatso called.

"Goodbye Avatar Aang." Everyone else said to him as he left.

"Okay, my love, are you ready to go?" Aang said as he walked back into their home.

"Yes, sweetie, I'm ready!" Katara had several empty baskets in her hands. "I think they might be running out of baskets, we have so many here, I thought we should bring some of them back to the kitchen." She laughed as Aang picked up eight more. They walked down to the kitchen, Katara told the Acolytes working in the kitchen what they needed, they ran around the kitchen as quickly as they could. They were walking back to their home within the ten minuets Aang had predicted.

"They need more bottles for the twins, Jade told me." Aang told her.

"Oh, Okay No problem I already have six bottles in our ice cupboard, and it feels like we will have two more just after we get back home." (A/N Engorged breasts HURT... I'm a mom I know) Katara's Breasts were full from feeding the girls every two hours, it was time to empty them... AGAIN!

"Six, wow when did you get six?" Aang asked the mother of his babies.

"Twice last night and once this morning." She said it like it was just an everyday thing.

"OK, I'll take those to them as soon as we get back." Aang said to her.

As soon as they got back home Aang took the bottles over to Jade while Katara filled two more and put them into the ice cupboard. Once that was done she started setting up the things they needed to make the Egg Custard Tart. She had her tart pans on the table and the rolling pin, flour, ice water, and butter on the table ready to make the crusts. On the counter were the eggs, milk and sugar out was well as a large bowl and a whisk. She had the oven going and a pot to make the custard in.

"Ok, My Love, I'm back." He called as he walked through the door.

"Ok, Sweetie, first you are going to make the crusts and press them into the pans." She smiled, he was going to make it she was just going to tell him what he had to do.

Aang was a bit nervous about making the tarts for the first time, 'Katara's such a sweet wonderful woman!' He thought to himself, she was walking him through each step. She was a calm and happy teacher she always was, well almost always was, when she taught him she always took things at his pace with kind encouraging words and understanding, and often a comforting word when he needed one.

Aang had mixed the ingredients together for the crusts, rolled them out, then pressed them into the pans. Katara smiled at the fact that he now had flour all over his pants and outer robes. The more he tried to dust himself off the worse it got.

"You're supposed to wipe your hands on a towel or apron, not your clothes, you'll never get it off." She laughed at him as he tried to blow it off with Airbending... Didn't work, he just blew more flour onto himself and everywhere else, too.

Their kitchen looked like someone antiqued it. Katara was laughing so hard she almost peed herself. "You... just... made... it... worse!" she said in between laughing and gasping for air, she was covered in flour now, too.

She helped him through making the egg custard because you have to mix it right or else you end up with sweet scrambled eggs. Once everything was mixed pressed and poured she put them into the oven. By the time they were finished Aang had made four tarts, he wanted to bring a couple over to Jade and everyone when they were done baking.

"Ok, Sweetie, lets get this cleaned up while they cook." She told him. They wiped everything off, then went and changed their flour cover clothes.

Katara checked the tarts and found them to be done so she called Aang to take them out of the oven since he was the cook, mostly, for breakfast today.

The tarts smelled so good, he couldn't believe what a good job he had done. "Sweetie, I told you I could teach you to cook them." Katara said.

"You always were my favorite Master." He said as he softly brushing her cheek with the back of his fingers, she purred as a wave of goosebumps washed over her, making her feel like her hair was standing on end.

As the tarts cooled Aang washed some strawberries and cherries to have with the tarts.

"Can I go with you to take the tart's and bottles next door, please?" She anime-eyed him again when she asked.

"Yeah but you cant stay...We need time to ourselves, time for you to bounce back from all the stress of everything." Aang told her.

"Sometimes it's hard to share you with the World." She sighed, "I know I have to, but that doesn't make it any easier. I never could be selfish."

"No, you couldn't, well I remember once when you were selfish, something to do with a certain Waterbending scroll... Anyways, you know we have never had much just me and you time really since we were married." Aang said.

"That's because... WE got pregnant then got separated for a year and a half. When you found your way home I had a son for you, an Airbending son for you." She smiled at the man that was so important to her... to her family... and to the world.

"Well, for the next couple days, If you're not selfish I'm going to have to make you!" He smiled at her. "You better be totally, completely, and utterly selfish... or else..."

Katara grabbed two baskets and put one tart into each then covered them with a small towel, Aang grabbed the baskets while Katara grabbed the bottles she had filled for the twins, then they walked next door.

Aang knocked on the door then walked in followed by Katara.

"MOMMY! DADDY!" Gyatso yelled as soon as they walked in.

"Hi, Little One! I miss you! I love you!" Katara said as she put the bottles on the table and picked him up and hugged him tightly.

"I made Egg Custard Tarts and I wanted to bring you all a couple." Aang said as he placed the basket on the table also.

"You made them, Aang?" Jade asked.

"Yep, I just told him what to do." Katara said proud of her husband. "He always was a fast learner, naturally gifted."

"Well then, let me make some tea we can all have some together." Jade said. She went into the kitchen and put on some water for tea. "We will have to save a couple pieces for Haru, he's working right now."

"Aaaawwwwwww, you just said that like he is your boyfriend." Katara said with a sly smile.

"Yeah, we were talking last night, after everyone went to sleep we stayed up drinking tea and talking... He asked me if I would be his girlfriend." Jade said as she blushed a little.

"I knew you guys would get along!" Aang said, "You're welcome."

"Yeah, he has such a sweet gentle heart... Not anything like most of the cocky Earthbenders I've meet before." She blushed very brightly.

"I'm so happy for you! I knew it would work!" Katara said.

Haru had just come into the apartment "What would work?"

"Oh... Uuummmm... Oh... Blame Aang!" Katara said nervously. "He did it!"

"What are you doing back so early?" Jade asked her boyfriend.

"Yeah, I'm taking a break, I wanted to make sure everything was going okay right now." Haru said to them.

"How nice, Jade just told us you guys are together." Katara said.

Haru blushed, "Yeah, I really like her, she is sweet, and beautiful. I never thought I'd see her again... and here we are... Thanks for asking me for my help with renovations, Aang."

"Haru... We... AANG has something to tell you." Katara said. "Tell him Aang."

"Why do I have to tell him?" Aang asked Katara.

"Because YOU wrote the letters." Katara said.

"It was your idea!" Aang told her.

"It was YOUR wax and seal... The one with the Air Nomad symbol!" Katara said.

"You're an Air Nomad now, too!" Aang said. "You used it on the letter to your dad."

"What are they fighting over?" Haru asked Jade... Jade blushed bright red and couldn't speak.

"It was a set-up." Katara finally said.

(A/N How is Haru going to react to finding out this was just a huge set-up... that he had been tricked into coming to the Southern Air temple under false pretenses... Read on to find out!)
