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 69

Construction started right after Katara and Jade had settled into the bedroom with the three small children. Katara and Jade were sitting cross-legged on the bed playing with the twins while Gyatso sat on daddy's floor pillow. He must have seen Aang meditating because it looked like he was trying to copy Daddy. Katara and Jade were cracking up at it, it was so cute. Katara went to get Aang, when he walked into the bedroom and saw what Gyatso was doing he couldn't help but laugh at how cute his son was being. "He truly wants to be like Daddy!" Katara told him. He kissed his three Air Nomad babies (Kya may be a waterbender but she was still an Air Nomad) then went back to working on their apartment.

"When are you going to have your picnic with Haru?" Katara asked.

"I figured we could walk down to the kitchen and grab a basket of food around midday. Where do you think would be the best spot for our picnic?" Jade asked Katara.

"The waterfall. Definitely the waterfall. I love it there, it is so beautiful and romantic. The flowers there smell so good, too." Katara said. "That's one of my favorite places here."

"Thank You Katara. I love you so much, you are the best friend I've ever had." Jade said.

"I am happy to help you, I am so excited for you, when you get back I want you to tell me how everything went."

"I promise I will tell you everything." Jade laughed. How could you not love this wonderful woman... Ok, so she could see all those girls around the world who had eyes for Avatar Aang not liking Katara... But none of those girls ever even had a chance with him... they were all just dreamers, he didn't even care about anyone but Katara, never has either. Jade loved seeing this side of them, the real Aang and Katara not the Iconic Avatar Aang and beautiful wife Lady Katara.

They were getting bored with being stuck in the bedroom, it was a very nice room and the bed was ssssoooooo soft, but it got boring. "Jade, will you please watch them, so I can go see how far along things are?" Katara asked her.

"Sure, you could also see if it is getting close to their lunch break." Jade responded.

"Great idea." Katara said.

Katara walked into the Living area, They had had things further along then she thought they would have. From the looks of it they might be done as soon as the day after tomorrow. "Hi sweetie, are you guys almost ready for your lunch break?"

"Soon, My Love. We just need to block off this door here (He pointed) and then I can make our Kitchen area over here (he gestured to the second apartments kitchen and dining area) which would make our Dining area twice as big (he said as he pointed to the front room of the other apartment), and then if I move this (He was now pointing to the existing kitchen and dining area) our front room will be bigger, then finally I will move my office there (He pointed to one of the room that was in the other apartment) and we will then have 2 guest rooms and a bedroom for the twins." He finished.

"That all sounds wonderful." Katara said as she went up on her tippy toes and kissed him.

"I remember a time," Aang said, as a smile cheeped across his face, "when I had to boost myself up to kiss you and now you have to do it when you kiss me." He chuckled.

"I don't mind, I love having a tall husband, it is only an inconvenience when things get hot."

He got an impish smirk then said, "That is why I pick you up Shorty!"

"I'm not short, you are very tall... and down right dreamy." She told him.

"You are the woman of my dreams! Literally." He said to her. He pulled her aginst him then rested his chin on the top of her head. "I love you." He kissed the top of her head, he just stood there holding her against him, it was nice to just hold her like that. She sighed.

"Ok, so back to my original question, Sweetie, Are you going to be taking a lunch break soon? Jade wants to get everything ready for her picnic with Haru, and our Airbenders need to get out and stretch their wings. We cant keep them cooped up for too much longer, they are getting fussy."

"Oh, I think we are almost ready to take a lunch break. Let me blow the dust out of the air in here and then we can take a break." Aang sent out a blast of air going in all directions. "Ok, they can come out now."

Katara pulled his face down to hers and kissed his cheek, "Thank you sweetie." then she went into their room, "Ok, Jade the Airbenders need air, Daddy stopped the work so they can stretch their wings."

"Daddy!" Gyatso yelled as he ran out of the bedroom attacking Aang's legs.

"Hi Little One! Do you need to spread your wings?" Aang said picking up his son.

Jade helped Katara bring the twins out of the bedroom. "Jade you should get your picnic stuff ready." Katara told her.

"What would you like for lunch, Sweetie?" Katara asked.

"Do we have any more of that vegetable soup you made for lunch yesterday?"

"Yeah, we have about half a pot still, would you like me to heat it up?"

"Yes, please, My Love." Aang answered.

"Ok, I'll start it warming, I need to run down to the kitchen to get some bread to go with it. Would you watch them while I walk down there real quick?"

"Yes I'll watch them, My Love."

"Could you give the soup a stir in a couple minutes too please?" She asked him.

"Yes, My Love, now go!" He laughed.

She kissed each child and then their father in turn, then she hurried out the door. "Bye, bye." She called back to them.

Ten minutes later, the soup was just starting to boil as Katara came in the door. "Ok, I'm back. Let's eat."

The three of them sat at the table having Soup and bread for lunch.

"Ok, Gyatso, It's nap time." Katara said as she watched her little boy yawn. She picked him up and brought him into her room. She stayed in the room for about 10 minutes humming to him as he was carried off by his mother's voice.

When Katara came out of the bedroom Aang was sitting on a blanket on the floor watching his two girls make cooing sounds as they tried to eat their tiny fists. Katara decided to join him and sat cross legged next to him. "Do you know what tomorrow is?" She asked him.

"Uuummmmmmm... the girls are almost three months old?"

"Yes and no... Can you think of anything else?" She asked him.

"Uuummmm..." He looked so cute trying to remember what tomorrow is.

Katara giggled, "I have a romantic day planned for us, Jade is going to watch the babies for the day and night."

Aang's eyes got huge "It's been a year already?! It doesn't feel like it!"

"Yes, our wedding anniversary is tomorrow. It's going to be just us." She leaned over and kissed him. "We will have the whole house to ourselves." She got an evil look in her eyes, "You will be all MINE tomorrow!"

"I will be looking forward to it." He said then gave her a sensual kiss.

"Can't wait!" she said then cuddled up against him watching the two little girls smile and coo at them.

(Jade & Haru)

Jade and Haru walked down to the waterfall that Katara told her to take Haru to. Haru spread out the blanket as Jade got them some fresh clean water from the pond. They sat down on the blanket and Jade started pulling their lunch out of the basket. Oh how Jade's heart was pounding, she was so nervous that her hands shook a bit.

Haru had noticed her hands shaking. "What's wrong?" He asked looking very confused.

When their eyes meet Jade looked like a rabbaroo ready to bolt. She took a few deep breaths. "I want to tell you something, Haru." her voice shook.

Haru looked a bit scared, he had no clue what she wanted to tell him... He thought she might be asking him to leave as soon as the work is done, He didn't want to leave. After talking to Aang the night before, he came to the conclusion that he had fallen in love with Jade... It was scary but scary good.

"Haru, I have come to a point where I've made a decision, one that could change my entire life..." She paused and took a few calming breaths.

Haru could feel panic setting in.

"I decided, after much counseling with Katara, That I needed to tell you..." Jade felt like running to the nearest sky bison cave to hide, she steadied her nerves then continued, "I have fallen in love with you." She smiled, telling him made her feel wonderful. "I love you Haru!" She said it again, saying it felt awesome and it made her happy.

He looked deeply into her eyes, he saw a great love for him, it showed in her eyes. "I talked to Aang for a few hours last night... and I love you, too Jade."

Jade was so happy that she tackled him and kissed him, showing him how happy she was. When she let go of him and sat back, she had a few tears of joy running down her cheek. "I LOVE YOU!" she said again.

"I LOVE YOU TOO!" He said. "I feel amazing when I am with you..."

"I'm so happy Aang and Katara tricked us into bringing you here." Jade said.

"Me too..." He said and pulled her close to him, holding her against him, his heart swelled with joy, he found a woman that he truly loved and would be happy to spend the rest of his life with this young woman. She kissed him over and over.

This Girl he had ran into because he was sulking a bit, Katara was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, most kindhearted, most giving girl he had ever met. It was really disappointing to see that she had married... not just married but married Aang, the weird kid that always followed her wherever she went, and had children already with him... He sulked as he walked he wasn't paying attention and ran smack into this beautiful young woman, he had never seen her before, he helped dust off her dress and they had exchanged names, then... as he walked back to the mine he was kicking himself for not saying anything to her but that he was sorry and his name... He went back to that restaurant after work to see if she was still around, but she wasn't, she had left and all hope of ever seeing her again was lost, he was actually a bit sad for a few weeks, every time he closed his eyes he could see her beautiful smiling face. He had told his parents about her, and he had told his friends about her. He described every last little detail about the encounter with the beautiful young woman to them all, it was easy to, every time he closed his eyes it played back in his mind like it was stuck in a loop, repeating over and over again.

His so called friends started to make fun of him saying things like "How's you imaginary girlfriend Jade doing today Haru?" "Does she write you imaginary letters and send them by imaginary hawk?" "When do we get to meet her?" "Hello Jade so very nice to meet you." One said bowing to the empty spot next to Haru. "Does she have any sisters? Jong Lee needs a girlfriend too." They were jerks, but he was starting to question his own sanity. Was she real or was she something his hurt mind made up to fool his aching heart.

Then one day, almost four months later, out of the blue he received a letter, it was sealed with yellow wax and had three swirls stamped into it. Haru had never seen this symbol before, at least not that he could remember. He broke open the wax and read the letter. It was from Aang, he wanted Haru's help as an Earthbender to work on renovations at The Southern Air Temple. He even said he would come pick Haru up. Haru figured 'Why Not! A nice vacation away from the mine would be great. Time away from my so called friends, not having to hear their remarks about the girl I am almost positive did really exist I just don't know where to start looking. Aang had said that if I needed help with anything they would do their best to help him... Friends in high places Aang had said.' Haru went to ask his boss for permission to help The Avatar. His boss told him he had already received a letter from The Avatar and that Haru had permission to help The Avatar. Haru wrote back that very same day... 10 Days later Aang showed up at the mine looking for him. Haru was looking forward to get away from the mine for a bit. They went back to Haru's house, he was living with his mom and dad still to help with work that needed to be taken care of as well as there weren't any girls he was interested in so he had no reason to move out yet. Haru packed some of his stuff, kissed his mom goodbye then hugged his dad. Aang had taken him to that restaurant and bought them both lunch and a few things to pack away for dinner on the trip back.

"I'm trying to get us back to The Southern Air Temple as quickly as we can, I don't want to leave Katara alone with the three babies for too long they are pretty hard work. You should see my new twin daughters." Aang told him. "They look just like their mother, they have big beautiful sapphire blue eyes, long eyelashes, soft curly brown hair, and Katara's beautiful tanned completion."

It took them hardly any time to get to The Southern Air Temple. When they all got to Aang and Katara's home he saw HER she was setting the table at Aang and Katara's. Haru had sometimes wondered if she was real, he knew she was real, his heart had told him over and over that she was real, even though his mind kept telling him she most likely wasn't real. He felt stupid, he should have connected the colors of her clothes with Aang and Katara's, obviously she was there with them, obviously she worked for them. She had said 'The group I'm with just stopped for lunch'. He could see it all now, he felt stupid. A few days passed, they were spending a lot of time together than one day Aang and Katara told him that they brought him to the Air Temple for him to get to know Jade.

Now they are sitting on a blanket, confessing their love for each other. Life in The World Above The Clouds was like living a dream. The Southern Air Temple was magical and it seemed like a castle floating on the clouds.
