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 72

"Ok, it's my turn to do something for you." He said. "You have already made my favorite food for breakfast, and I absolutely loved our little game."

"It was fun, wasn't it." She smirked. "What are you planning for me?"

"I am going to make you lunch, then I have a present for you."

"I have something for you too!" She smiled at him.

He made a salad and tea for lunch. "Thank You, Sweetie." she said as he pushed in her chair for her.

They had fun talking about this last year and some of the things they loved about each other. "I wanted to thank you for finally telling me how long you liked me, it means a lot to know."

"I always thought you would get mad at how long I liked you and lied to you about it." She told him. "That's kind of the reason I never actually told you how long."

"Well it wasn't fair for you to lie to me like you did, and you made me so angry sometimes, and you broke my heart too... but I've been thinking, if I knew how you felt, would I have had the courage to fight Ozai on my own? Would I have been able to leave your side? I think that I most likely would not have been able to do it, I was already having inner turmoil about finding a way to stop him without killing him... So thank you for lying to me, it's what I needed at the time. You have told me many times that NOW is much more important than then. I agree, I did what had to be done then... NOW you are mine and I am yours. We have 3 beautiful children and wonderful friends and family to share our wonderful life with." He told his true love. "And no war to worry about."

"I hadn't thought about it like that before. I felt horrible for lying to you all that time." She told him. "I didn't mean to break you heart, sweetie."

"I Love our family, our children. I feel so proud when Gyatso, airbends, I know it drives you crazy because he makes things hard for you, I love taking him on Air Scooter rides, he learned to float quickly, he loves to feel the wind on his face and he's not even two yet, he tries to be like me. When I came back to you, and I watched him... Thank You... I am very proud of him... I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I wish I was with you when he was born, I wish we would have been getting ready for him together... I think Kya and Sapphire are the most beautiful babies I have ever seen, You asked me once what I wanted them to be, airbenders, waterbenders or nonbenders, I told you later that day that all I wanted was a baby girl that looked like her mommy, and you gave me that, 2 fold. Their eyes are mesmerizing, you don't find many blue-eyed airbenders... well I guess you could say only 1/3 of Airbenders alive today have blue eyes, the other two have gray eyes." He laughed at his joke. "I wish we could have had the great big wedding we were planning... You were so excited about planning it... then the explosion happened."

"Kya may be a waterbender like me, but she is also an Air Nomad, just as I am through our marriage. As you are an honorary member of the Southern Water Tribe, you have been ever since Bato took us 'Ice dodging'. I am so happy that the world doesn't have to be separated into 4 people anymore, If it did where would that leave you? None of our children would be alive, Airbenders would truly become extinct, well that's not completely true, if you still made The Avatar Aang fan clubs into Air Acolytes they you could have still had Airbender children... But to be honest, that thought makes me angry and jealous, I wouldn't want to be married to anyone else, YOU ARE MINE. I'm the minority here, Kya and myself are the odd ones out. But you brought the world together, living united no longer divided." Katara told him

"You were part of that too... When you had seen Kory and her family in Yu Dao... You saw us, and our little family... You were right, I needed to look at it like you did." Aang told her. "I've actually had that on my mind a lot lately... Wondering how long this era of peace will last."

"Ok no more gloomy talk, I have a gift for you!" Katara went into their room and brought out a big box.

"I have one for you too." Aang went into his office and came back also with a big box.

Aang handed her the box and she handed him her big box "You open yours first!" Aang told her.

Katara opened the box and pulled out a beautiful Blue and white gown, It was the dress she had bought and had altered to fit her, the one she bought for their wedding ceremony before Aang had gone missing. "I forgot about this dress! How did you find it?"

"When we were in Ba Sing Se I came across a little clothing shop, I was looking for a beautiful dress for you to stand out in blue every once in a while, My Love. The Shop owner gave it to me when she saw who I was... She said you had bought it for our wedding, I was hoping you would be happy I found it. You are a Lady now, you can wear it whenever you want." He told her.

A few happy tears rolled down her cheek. "Thank you so much Sweetie." She told him. "Ok, Your turn to open yours."

He opened the box and found a brand new pair of brown boots. "Thank you My Love I was starting to ware these ones out." He told her.

"Put them on and see how they feel." Katara said.

He pulled off his old boots and slipped his new ones on. "Ok, walk around!" She was beaming at him as he stood up.

He walked across the room and back, with every step he took he heard bells jingling "No sneaking up on me anymore!" She laughed. He just shook his head and laughed with her.

"Can we go over to see the babies, and show off our presents for each other, I'll go change right now. She went into their bedroom and put on her new dress. They walked across the hall, Aang shook his head laughing at the jingling with each step he took. "I can't believe you actually put bells on my boots."

"I told you I was going to, Mr. Walk-on-Air. You always sneak up on me." She told him.

"I don't do it on purpose." He said.

"I know, I just hate how you do it. Now I will hear you walking around like normal people do."

"I'm not normal?!" Aang asked in surprise.

"You are the only person in the world that can fly. You are the only person in the world that walks on air. You are the only person in the world that can bend all four elements. You are the only person that could survive frozen in a bubble, due to your Avatar State, for 100 years. Finally you are the only person in the world that I love with every bit of myself."

"You know, eventually Gyatso and Sapphire will walk on air too, right ." He told her.

"And I will put bells on their shoes too." Katara laughed.

They got to the door across the way, they knocked then walked in. "Hi everyone!" they said.

"Oh, my, WOW! Lady Katara your blue dress is so beautiful!" Jade said, all the younger girls followed with 'Oh, Yes.' and 'so pretty'.

"It's my wedding anniversary gift from Aang. I bought it as my wedding dress 2 years ago, Aang found it back at the shop in Ba Sing Se, that was altering it to fit me." Katara told them, and did a little twirl. "I never picked it up because Aang went missing. And I was dealing with other things in my life at the time."

Aang walked to his little girls, Kya and Sapphire were cooing from a blanket on the floor. With each step he took he jingled.

"Where is that jingling coming from?" Jasmine asked.

"Katara gave me new boots for my anniversary gift... She added bells to them like she said she would." He laughed a little.

Everyone laughed too, they had all heard her yell about adding bells to his boots, he has sneaked up on all of them many times, his footsteps were oddly light for a grown man as tall as he was, she had finally done it.

"Anyways we came over to show you the gifts. Now I need to feed the twins then disappear again." She told them all. Jade picked up Sapphire and Aang picked up Kya, all three walked into the room Jade was staying in, so that Katara would have privacy while she fed her daughters. Aang went back into the front room. He sat down and started to do his marble trick for Gyatso.

Haru, walked into the Apartment with a basket of food for lunch. "Hi Aang I didn't expect to see you... at all today actually."

"Katara needed to feed the twins, and she wanted to show off what we got for each other." Aang walked over to the couch and sat down with Haru.

"What did you give her?" Haru asked.

"I found her beautiful blue gown she had bought 2 years ago as her wedding dress but never picked it up because I disappeared." He was proud of what he had given his wife. "She looks great in reds, Yellows, Oranges, and Browns, but I also like the way she looks in blue too."

"What did she get you?" Haru asked.

Aang laughed, "New boots."

"What is funny about new boots?" Haru was confused.

"What she did to them." Aang said.

"What did she do to them."

Aang stood up and walked across the room and back, his bells jingling with each step.

"She actually did it! She put bells on your boots like she said she was going to!" Haru was cracking up at Aang's gift from his wife.

Katara and Jade talked as the now 3-month-old twins nursed. "Your new gown is so pretty, it makes your your eyes pop." Jade told her "Blue is awesome on you. It's amazing that he found YOUR dress."

"I know, Right?! Thank you Jade. I grew up with all blue and white clothes, you saw my family and all the people at The Southern Water Tribe, Blue is Everywhere." Katara told her. "With splashes of purple here and there."

"Your tribe was amazing, freezing cold, but amazing. I've never seen so much ice and snow. I didn't know it could be that warm inside a house made of ice either." Jade told her.

"Yeah, that's my home. I grew up in the cold and snow, I never knew it could be warm enough anywhere to waterbend in just my undergarments... that's how we use to practice, in our undergarments." Katara told Jade. "I have been away more than I have been there since I found, Aang.

"Your grandma is so sweet, Your dad doesn't look like your grandfather though." Jade said.

"He's not my dad's father." Katara laughed "Master Pakku, is from the Northern Water Tribe. When my grandmother was young an arranged marriage was set up between her and Master Pakku. She didn't love him so she ran away. Master Pakku did love her thought. " Katara said.

"Why do you call him 'Master Pakku'?" Jade asked.

"Aang took Sokka and I to the Northern Water Tribe for Him and myself to find a Waterbending Master. Master Pakku said he would train Aang but not me because I was a girl." Katara continued.

"I thought Aang said you were his Waterbending Master." Jade asked.

"I'm getting there, as you know, my temper is famous," Katara laughed, "I thought it wasn't fair that The Northern Tribe didn't train girls to fight, only to heal."

"Aang decided that he was going to teach me at night what Master Pakku taught him durring the day. Master Pakku caught us, and Aang was going to be punished for training a girl in the North. He didn't think it was fair and said that if they wouldn't train me he wasn't going to be trained by them. I wouldn't let him do that. I yelled at Master Pakku and challenged him. He walked out shortly after I did, but he still refused to teach me, so I attacked him and challenged him again. I fought hard, he said I was powerful but he wasn't going to train me, then he found this." Katara showed Jade the necklace her mother had given to her. "He had carved it for my Gran Gran. He trained me, then he decided he was going to the south to help it grow. After only a month of training he deemed me a Master Waterbender and I became Aang's Waterbending Master. Master Pakku and my grandmother got married after he had gotten to the South Pole." Katara finished just as the second baby girl was drifting off to sleep.

Jade and Katara both carefully picked up a sleeping baby girl and carried them to their bassinets in the front room. "Ok, Sweetie, they are fed and sleeping. We can go on a walk now."

"Ok, My Love. See you later." He said as He and Katara left for a walk. They walked down to the now completed Meeting Hall. Katara was amazed, Aang and Haru had done a wonderful job. Above the door it said 'Monk Gyatso Memorial Meeting Hall.'

"Aang it's beautiful, I love what you named it, that is so awesome." Katara said as she remembered that day when Aang had found his beloved friend and Guardian, a tear ran down her cheek, as she remembered how hurt Aang was when he found him.

"I want Gyatso to know who he was named after." Aang said with a huge smile.

They walked back to their home stopping at the kitchen for some bread to go with the soup Katara was making for their dinner.
