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 67

(One day later)

Katara was cooking dinner for everybody, she felt wonderful again and she wanted to treat everyone with a special dinner,she was making Ginger-infused pea tendrils, fried dough, and a mango and Hibiscus root salad, she had also made a couple traditional Air Nomad fruit cakes for desert (She needed Aang to finish them though, she couldn't give it the air twist it needed). She thought Earth Kingdom food would be nice for Haru, he was working hard and deserved something nice. The meeting hall was pretty much done, he did it all in just a few days. She hadn't seen it yet but Aang was ecstatic about it. When he was happy it made her happy.

Aang had told her earlier that the first few walls of their apartment would come down tomorrow morning. They were going to be expanding the apartment. Katara was excited that her home was going to be bigger. She was going to have a much bigger kitchen, front room, and a bigger dining area, as well as a couple more rooms. Walls were going to come down new ones put up. It was going to be wonderful.

Aang and Haru came out of Aang's office, they had been looking at the plans for their home. Tomorrow Katara was supposed to go over the furnishing and decor for the apartments, she had decided to decorate according to where the Leaders were from. She was mental going over decor and furnishing ideas while she was cooking, the hardest one to figure out was what to do for the Yu Dau representative, she had personally been into each of the other Leaders homes/palaces; Bumi in Omashu was quite eccentric, King Kuei in Ba Sing Se was well She was pretty7 sure he would be bringing Bosco with him, Zuko in Capital City of the Fire Nation, Sokka, She lived with Sokka for a few months, in The Southern Water Tribe, and Chief Arnook from The Northern Tribe. She was going to be ordering the decorations... There are some pretty great Air Acolyte Carpenters to make the furnishings.

"Wow what are you making? It smells so good, My Love!" Aang asked her.

"Tonight I am rewarding Haru for all his hard work with some Earth Kingdom cuisine... All Vegetarian of course." She told them.

"That is a great idea!" Aang said. "Ok, I'm going to go get your girls to start helping me bring everything back here from next door."

"Ok, dinner should be done in about half an hour, Sweetie." She said.

"We should have everything back here by then." He told her.

"Make sure all five girls know that they are all eating here with us tonight... they have been so wonderful these last couple days, they deserve something good for working so hard too." Katara told him, then gave him a kiss and went back to frying dough. The oil boiled every time she dropped dough into it. It made her think of Avatar Day in Chin, which led her to thinking of Avatar Kyoshi, which then led to Suki, Which led to Baby Hakoda, Sokka, Dad, Gran Gran, and Master Pakku, She missed her family.

Katara was just setting the table as everyone was bringing in her babies and all their stuff. She put all the food out on the table. When they saw what she had cooked for them all they were excited, Haru was not the only one from the Earth Kingdom, all 6 of them were.

"Oh My, Lady Katara you are spoiling us tonight!" Jade said as she looked at the table.

"That's how I know she is feeling better." Aang said. "She loves making people happy."

They all sat down to dinner, together. "Katara, this is wonderful, you were right you are such a good cook I really don't miss meat." Haru said.

"Thank You, Haru. I am happy that you like my cooking, I wanted to make dinner special for you. Aang is so happy with the meeting hall."

"Yeah I wanted to make it fit for the world leaders..." Haru said then laughed at his joke.

"Careful Aang might try to keep you here." Katara joked.

"Actually he already offered," Haru looked at Jade for a few seconds a huge smile came over his face, "I'm seriously thinking about taking him up on the offer. At home the only good job is being a miner and even that doesn't pay well... I am just starting to get to know Jade, I like her a lot, she is fun to be around, I would really like to get to know her better."

Jade was blushing. "I would love to get to know you better too, Haru."

He loved how his name sounded when she said it. "Maybe we could have a picnic for lunch tomorrow, Aang, Katara?"

Aang and Katara looked at each other for a second, "No, I need to catch up on some office work here, you two go together Katara can have lunch with me in my office, Right Katara?"

"Oh, yes I want to stay with Aang, I think you'd have a lovely time alone together." Katara knew that the only way they would get to know each other better was if they were alone, not surrounded by people.

After they were done Katara stood up, "I made a special desert... well mostly made, I couldn't put the finishing touches on it myself, so Aang helped. I'll be right back."

Katara came out of the kitchen with a traditional Air Nomad Fruit Cake, swirl on top and all. "I hope you all like it."

"Yummy Mommy!" Gyatso said.

"Oh, wow, Katara I've never tasted anything this good." Haru said.

"Thank You all I used a recipe I found in the library. I'm glad you all enjoyed dinner and desert." Katara said to them all. Aang had made tea for everyone to go with the fruit cake.

Just as they finished eating Sapphire started to fuss. "Aang could you help me bring the girls into our room so I can fed them?"

"Sure, My Love, I'll be back to clear the table after I help you." Aang told her.

They both picked up one of their beautiful blue eyed baby girls and brought them into the bedroom. "Thank You, Sweetie." She said then started feeding their baby girls.

Aang stayed in the room until Sapphire was full. He had been staring into Kya's eyes, He still couldn't get over how beautiful his daughters were. Their plump little cheeks, their perfectly shaped lips, their cute little noses, and most of all, their Big, Brilliant, Beautiful, Blue eyes. "Katara, Thank you so much." He thanked her every day for his children.

She smiled then responded as she did everyday. "Thank You, Aang."

He often thought that there was so much he needed to thank her for, but every time he tried she came back with a bunch of stuff to thank him for. He knew that even though she had done so much for him, He had also done so much for her. He left their room to clear the table. When he got into the dinning room the table was already cleared. He went into the kitchen to help with dished and found a row of washers, rinsers, and dryers.

"You guys didn't have to do that I was about to start it." Aang said.

"You and Lady Katara do so much for us, she cooked a wonderful dinner and a lovely desert." Lilly said.

"You guys are caring and you have made us feel like family." Blossom said.

"You set up an awesome surprise for Jade and I." Haru said.

"Katara is truly my best friend." Jade said. "I would do almost anything for her."

"We love working in your home." Rose said.

"Our love for Lady Katara goes all the way back to when she healed my mother's burns when The Azula Loyalists attacked our Villages." Jasmine said.

Katara walked into the kitchen, she had finished feeding the twins a few minutes ago and had heard what everyone was saying about her. She was surprised by what they all said about her and Aang, They truly loved Aang and her. "I love you all too!" she said as she walked into the kitchen. She hugged each of them in turn.

"I am so happy here, all of you love me so much and I love you all so much. To me you are all family. When Aang found the remains of his beloved Monk Gyatso, he was hurt, he thought he had lost his family, but I told him that day that Sokka and I were his new family. You don't have to share blood to be family."

"Where did you find him Aang?' Haru asked.

"Where the new meeting hall is." Aang told him. "I was so upset that I went into The Avatar State... Katara has always been able to calm me down and bring me out of it... She has done it many times now."

"What happened when you go into The Avatar State, if you don't mind me asking?" Jade said.

Aang looked at Katara and a look passed between them. "His eyes and tattoos glow, He can bend all 4 elements at the same time, he gets surrounded by a bubble of wind, then fire, earth, and water become separate rings around the air bubble. If he talks there is more than one voice coming from him…" Katara told them.

"I honestly don't know, all I know is that it is scary when it happens. I had no control over myself then." Aang told them sadly. "I have a little control now, I still do things I can't control though."

(Jade)

"Jade, would you like me to walk you back to the Girl's Dormitory?" Haru asked her.

"That would be nice." She told him and blushed a bit.

They held hands as they walked, Jade had butterflies in her stomach, his hands were a bit rough but warm. They walked in silence, neither sure what exactly what to say. After about 5 minuets they reached the girl's dormitory.

Jade was nervous, her heart had sped up a bit. "Goodnight, Haru! Thank you for walking me back." She said.

"Y... You're w...welcome." He stammered nervously. She smiled then leaned in and kissed him goodnight. She hurried inside before he had a chance to say anything.

She raced up the stairs to her room, it had a window that was just above the entrance to the dorms. She leaned out her window and could see Haru still standing where she had left him. He looked surprised. "Goodnight!" she called out to him waving.

He looked up to her and smiled "Goodnight!" he responded, then walked back to Aang and Katara's house. He was so happy, SHE had kissed HIM.

"Hello, Haru you look really happy." Aang had said when Haru came back.

"I... She... She said goodnight and thanked me for walking her back... then... then SHE kissed ME and ran inside!"

"Aang, were you coming to bed soon?" Katara asked as she stepped out of their room in her nightgown "Oh, Hi Haru! I didn't hear you come in."

"I'll be in, in a minute, Haru was just telling me something, my love." He told her.

"Ok, sweetie. I love you. Goodnight Haru." She had said to them.

"You guys are so happy together, aren't you?" Haru asked Aang.

"Yes, VERY happy, very in love." He had a smile as he thought about his wonderful wife.

"Don't take this wrong, but I am still amazed that she married you, it just never seemed like she liked you like that." Haru said to Aang.

"No, It's ok, I totally understand what you mean." Aang said with a short laugh. "I worked my butt off getting her to like me..." Aang laughed again. "Funny thing is, she had liked me for a REALLY long time, she liked me before we went into The Cave op Two Lovers.". She still confuses the hell out of me though."

"Are all women like that?" Haru asked him.

"Funny thing is, I have no clue. Katara always talks about all these girls all over the world that liked me. I never noticed it though. I guess I was blind to all girls except her. She was all I cared about. She was extremely jealous when we ran into a couple girls from The Ba Sing Se chapter of the Avatar Aang Fan Club, and went to their clubhouse. She says ALL the girls there where crushing on me."

"Jade told me she was a Co-President/Co-Founder of that club." Haru told him.

"Yeah, she was there." Aang chuckled "One of the girls had told Katara 'It's an honor to meet Avatar Aang's FIRST girlfriend.' Oh she was angry at that. I don't think she liked the possibility of me having a girlfriend after her."

"Ouch, Did Katara say or do anything?" Haru asked.

"Surprisingly No, she usually has a pretty bad temper too." Aang had told him. "She did sit off by herself though."

"How bad can she get?" Haru asked.

"She split a massive Iceberg into chunks that was accumulating for 100 years... I love her temper." He laughed.

"That goes back to what she said about 'I should have stayed at home with Gran Gran', right?"

"Yes, I was inside that Iceberg. If she didn't have her temper, if she weren't there with Sokka, I'd still be down there, frozen. Waterbenders were extinct in the Southern Water Tribe."

"Is that why you love her?" Haru asked.

"No, I opened my eyes and she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, her big sapphire blue eyes, her tan complexion... Love at first sight, I think you might have some experience with Jade with that." Aang joked a bit.

Haru blushed, "Yeah I think I do, Jade is beautiful. I love the way my name sounds when she says it... being around her... I feel... I feel like... dizzy and it's hard to breath, my heart is pounding... Like I'm..."

"Falling." Aang finished for Haru. Aang was smiling "Yeah I know, That is one my favorite things about being an Airbender, I love the feeling of falling... flying and falling, controlling the air all around me."
