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 66

Aang was sitting on the couch waiting for Katara to get back. As she walked in he said "You disappeared on me, I woke up and couldn't find you anywhere in the apartment... Where did you go?" He said sternly to her.

"Good morning, Sweetie, I was feeding Kya and Sapphire. Jade and I visited while they nursed. She told me that Haru kissed her last night." Katara said to her husband.

"Really? Awesome..." All thoughts about Katara not being selfish blew away.

"That poor girl is so confused right now, she doesn't know what feelings are what... I wish I had someone to talk to when I was younger."

He grinned at her. "Yeah, I wish you did too. Maybe then you wouldn't have confused the hell out of me."

"I told her she could ask me anything she wanted to... Her mother died when she was seven, The Fire Nation Killed mine when I was eight. And well relationships are new to her, she has no idea what to think, and we've been together for over eight years now. I can give her the advice that a girl needs."

"Aang, I want to tell you something I've never told anyone... Please don't judge me, I feel like I was just being a silly girl, a dreamer... Hoping for something that everyone said was impossible... but I want you to know... It kind of goes back to how I feel about YOU... How I've always felt about YOU I guess. This is really hard to admit..." Katara said to him.

"Ok?! I'll try my hardest not to..." He responded grinning at her, jesting just a bit.

"When I was Little Gran Gran use to tell stories about the old days, a time of peace, when The Avatar kept peace between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation and The Air Nomads. Then the Fire Nation attacked. Only The Avatar could stop them. The Avatar was supposed to be reborn into the Air Nomads..." She paused for a second taking in the expression on his face, he was calm but had a puzzled look in his face.

"Yeah... Quite obvious if you ask me..." He said to her with a smile. "I think I knew him."

"When I asked you, you said you didn't know him... Anyways, everyone thought you were never reborn... But deep down in the bottom of my heart I knew The Avatar would reappear. I always have had faith in him... In you..." A smile came across her face as she told him, "ever since I was a very small child. I knew you would return and end the war." She watched him for a little while as he processed what she had just told her.

He grinned at her, "And you were right I did end the war, with your help, my love, with the help of all our friends. Hardly anyone had faith in me, it took so long for me to come back to the world. I guess I was found by the girl Destiny had chosen for me... Destiny had brought her to me...and Destiny made her a very powerful Waterbender to break the Iceberg even though Waterbenders had gone extinct in The Southern Water Tribe. Destiny made her my wife and Destiny has given me three children so far by her, two of which are Airbenders. But all three are beautiful.

Katara was sparkling again, "Destiny made me believe in something that everyone thought was impossible."

"It would have been impossible if it weren't for you, my love" He told his wife, then kissed her. "Thank You."

"Okay, do you want to go check on Haru and see how things are coming along? I am planning to take a hot bath and relax." She told him.

"Yeah I'll go see everything. Haru will probably want to talk about them kissing too, I should be back in about an hour, is that ok?" he asked her.

"Oh yes it is perfectly fine." She smiled at him and went into the bathroom.

The hot bath relaxed Katara greatly, it helped melt away the stress that has been building up like Aang's iceberg.

As Aang arrived to check on the status of the Meeting Hall, Haru seen him and waved. "Hi Haru." Aang said.

"What do you think?" Haru asked him showing all his hard work.

"You are awesome! It is beautiful." Aang said. All the walls where patched up and the roof was fixed, inside there was a great Stone Table With a World Map carved into it, and there were beautiful carvings of cities and villages from all over the world into the walls. "I cant believe it's almost finished, and in only a couple days, too. Okay, I'm keeping you here with me." Aang said only half-joking. "You wouldn't have to worry about food or rent or, well anything. We are self-sustaining here."

"Ummm, are you joking or would you really like me to stay here? I am confused about a lot right now... Can we talk?"

"Yeah, we can talk..." Aang said. They walked a short distance from the building for privacy and Earthbent seats to sit on.

"I am half joking. Yes, actually I would love it for you to stay, but that isn't up to me." Aang told him.

"I know I am four years older than you, but well you have had much more experience with love... LOTS more experience, We are taking care of your children for you for a few days. I know where babies come from..." Haru started.

"Ok, I get it, you want help knowing what is going on." Aang said. Katara had already told him about the kiss Jade and Haru had shared. Katara had also already told him how Jade felt, this was going to be a bit easier for them all.

"Yeah, Last night I helped Jade feed your twins... After they fell back to sleep I asked her if I could kiss her, I don't know what came over me I just kissed her before she could answer me." Haru told him.

"What did she do?" Aang asked him.

"She kissed me again." Haru said.

Aang laughed a little, "You got a better reaction than I did... but then again I didn't wait around for her reaction, I had something I had to take care of."

"What happened to you?" Haru asked him.

"Well... uuummmmmmm, Do you remember the day of the invasion when we surfaced for air before our landing?" Aang asked him.

"Yeah, You were going to fly ahead while the rest of us re-submerged." Haru said. "I remember Sokka asking what was wrong with Katara, why she hadn't gotten onto Appa yet."

"Yeah exactly right then... I didn't ask for permission I just did it." Aang told his friend.

"That was your first kiss?" Haru looked at the young man sitting across from him. Aang and Katara had had feelings for each other longer than Haru had realized.

"Yes and no... We kissed once when we were in the cave of two lovers and..." Aang started to laugh "I told her I'd rather kiss her than die and that is was a compliment... She still says it's not much of a complement."

"Kiss her or die?" Haru thought he was confused before."You just keep confusing me more."

"The legend said that 'Love will light the way.' It was her idea... I just went stupid when she came up with the idea and I made her mad. She said she actually wanted to kiss me too. Haru love is so hard to navigate when you don't have someone to help you understand. Katara still confuses the hell out of me. I will do the best I can to help you understand." Aang told his friend "And I am actually older than you are though Haru. I'm one-hundred twenty years old." Aang put in with a smile. "People seem to easily forget about that one hundred years I was frozen for."

"When we kissed I felt... I felt like I was falling..."

"I like that feeling, I love falling." Aang slipped in real quick.

"Well I also felt Different..." Haru was blushing.

Aang could tell what he meant. "Yeah, I know... It's normal."

"But we only pressed our lips together." Haru still needed guidance.

"Yeah, the more often you kiss the less often it happens." Aang advised him. "If you have any more questions, just ask... I won't judge you or hold the feelings you once had for my wife, against you." Aang laughed at the last part.

Surprise showed in Haru's eyes but then laughed with Aang.

"I was twelve, not stupid... Ok, I need to get back, Katara is probably finished with her bath. I'll talk to you later." Aang said as he turned and started to walk away.

"Wait until the tongue comes into play... That's a whole new level of kissing... Bye" Aang called back to Haru as he walked back to the Temple.

"WHAT?!" Haru called back, Aang continued walking but raised his hand to wave.

Katara was still in the tub when Aang walked into their home. "Katara, where are you?" He called to her.

"I'm in the tub still, my water got cold but I don't want to get out." She told him.

"Why don't you want to get out?" He asked her

"Because sitting in water relaxes me. Even cold water."

Aang put his hand in the water and it heated back up quickly.

"Thank You Sweetie." She said.

He leaned over the tub to kiss her. She kissed him back then pulled him into the water with her, she was being an imp.

"Hey!" He yelled, he was soaking wet. "What is with you and playing with water!"

"I love water, I'm connected to it, I command it! It bends to my will!" Muw-ah-ha-ha-ha-ha... She joked.

He got an evil grin. "I command all four elements. All four4 bend to MY WILL!"

She put her wet hand on his cheek, "And yet you are as sweet and gentle as a Koala-lamb."

"I love you." Aang said to her. "Ok, your fingers are all wrinkly let's get you out of there." He got her robe for her as she got up, and wrapped it around her. When they got out of the bathroom Aang Airbent them both dry.

"Thank you Sweetie, ok I'm going to get dressed then go feed Kya and Sapphire. Do you want to come with me or stay here?"

"I have a few more things I need to do around the temple, my love, I think you should spend some more time counseling Jade... Haru REALLY likes her."

"Ok, Sweetie I'll see you in a bit then?" She asked.

"Yes, my love in a bit." Aang said as he left to go see some people around the temple. He was checking on the status of all the projects. Things were coming along nicely.

Katara was feeling better too, her sparkle was back, her shine was back, she was being a playful imp again, HIS Katara was returning to him. Tonight would be the last night Jade, Haru and the other four girls would be needed to watch their babies. He missed them even though they were only next door. His children were everything to him, his family meant everything to him, he would do anything for them. Starting tomorrow they had to go back to work on the temple to get ready for the World Leadership Meetings.

Katara knocked on the door to the apartment next to theirs than walked in. "Hi Jade, Girls."

"MOMMY!" Gyatso came running to her and attacked her legs as he tried to climb up her.

"Hi little one! I miss you, I love you!" She said as she picked him up and hugged him tightly. He happily sat on her hip.

"Hello, Lady Katara." Jade said as she came out of the kitchen. "Tea?"

"Oh, that would be nice, Jade thank you." Katara said. "Are the girls due to eat soon?"

"Oh, yes, they have been sleeping the entire time you where gone. They should be waking up anytime now." Jade told Katara. Jade brought Katara a cup of tea, Gyatso was sitting on Katara's lap the entire time they chatted, after about 20 minutes Kya started fussing.

"Hi, my Kya! My pretty little girl!" Katara said as she picked her daughter up and cuddled her.

"Haru isn't due back for a couple more hours, you could nurse here in the front room." Jade told her.

"Yeah I think that is where Aang went off to." Katara told Jade.

Katara nursed while the young women talked. "I'm happy that everything turned out how we wanted it to for Haru and you. Aang is one smart man. Sometimes it's hard to not see him as a kid though, when he gets a playful twinkle in his eye. He likes to play still, but then again I do too."

"Play?" Jade didn't quite understand what Katara meant.

"Yeah like a little bit ago I was taking a bath and Aang leaned over to kiss me and I grabbed the front of his robes and pulled him into the tub too." Katara told her, laughing at what she had done.

"Fully clothed! You pulled him in fully clothed? Weren't his robes soaked?" Jade asked.

"Yes, fully clothed, and soaked... But remember he is an Airbender and we both can Waterbend."

Jade was trying not to giggle but couldn't hold it in anymore. "Do you always do things like that?"

"Yeah, we have water fights all the time. That first night you guys had the babies we had a water fight, running all over the house and hiding from each other." Katara said. "All's Fair in Love and War."

Jade was starting to understand what type of things happy couples in love do. Even adults can play still.
