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 76
The 4 children were just starting to wake up from their naps as they flew towards The Southern Air temple. "We should be there in about half an hour." Aang told them, "Sorry we are going slower than normal, Appa is getting tired with all this weight."
"Appa, you are being a good boy carrying all of us, I promise to give you a nice bath after we get back home." Katara told him as she scratched his arrow. "I'll even clean between your toes big guy."
*RRRRRRRRR*
"You are in for a treat Appa!" Aang told him. Katara loved Appa as much as he did, she makes him happy she married him everyday. He had always known in his heart that he was going to marry her, especially after hearing her fortune from aunt Wu saying Katara was going to marry a very powerful bender, he just had to convince her to love him... 'I can't believe I didn't have to work as hard as I did to get her. I can't believe she said she loved me when we were in Ba Sing Se, before Azula killed me.' He put his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him. "I love you."
She looked into his stormy gray eyes and saw all the love in the world "I love you too, Sweetie."
After a little bit they heard the horn blow, announcing that they had been spotted and Acolytes would start filling the square to help unload and deliver their belongings to the 2 apartments. Jade, Jasmine, Lilly, Rose, Blossom, as well as Haru were all waiting for Appa to land.
"We have an awesome surprise for you... Remember we said Jade's boyfriend is staying with us?" Katara said. "Well you know him, but we are not going to tell you whom he is... You have to wait and see."
Appa landed and they got swarmed, everyone was careful about the 4 babies though. Katara handed Kya down to Jade, she passed Kya to 'the guy in a hat' behind her as Katara handed Sapphire to Jade, then climbed down herself. Gyatso jumped into his daddy's open arms. Sokka had hopped down and took his son Hakoda from his wife, allowing her to climb down.
"Ready to meet Jade's boyfriend?" Katara asked Sokka and Suki.
"Yeah, you have driven me crazy, keeping it a surprise."
"Jade, could you two come here please?" Aang called to her and her boyfriend.
Jade and Haru came over. Haru removed his hat. "Haru, you are Jade's boyfriend! But how?" Sokka said.
"We'll explain it all over dinner, You are eating with us tonight." Katara said. "Jade cooked for all of us."
Katara found a scrub brush for cleaning in between Sky Bison toes, Appa followed Katara to a large pond. He rolled over in the water giving Katara his toes first. As soon as she started scrubbing between his toes, it sounded like he was purring. "Does that feel good Appa?" She asked him as she rinsed between the toes she had just cleaned. It went on like this with each of his other 5 feet. Next she scrubbed him down really good with a wooden rake-like tool used to scrub Sky Bison. When she was completely done with him, his coat shined and he actually smelt really good. Aang had come to see how she was doing with Appa, she had been bathing him for almost 2 hours now.
"Wow Buddy, you look awesome! Katara did a great job" Aang smiled then turned to see a drenched but smiling Katara. Appa wiggled his newly cleaned toes at Aang. *RRRRRRRR*
"Ok, Big Guy, now for your treat." Katara tossed him 10 watermelons, catching each in his mouth. "He deserves some pampering. Don't you Big Guy?"
*RRRRRRRRRRRRRR* Then he licked Katara. Aang laughed and Airbent her dry. "What can't you do, My Love?"
"I can't Airbend." She laughed.
Katara took Suki on a tour of the newly renovated and enlarged home. "I can't believe how much space you have now!" Suki was astounded by the great job Aang and Haru had done, expanding their home. Then Katara took Suki to the apartment assigned and decorated for 'The Southern Water Tribe Representative', it was decorated almost exactly like an igloo in the Southern Water Tribe would look, pelts and all.
"I decorated each apartment with decorations from the leaders home land, to make the visitors more comfortable, so they wouldn't be home sick." Katara told them. "Would you like to see them all now?" Katara took Suki and Sokka to see the other five apartments, all decorated and furnished according to their home lands and needs, Zuko and Mai need a child's bed in one of their rooms, Sokka and Suki need a crib in one of their rooms. "The other World Leaders should start arriving as early as tomorrow."
"Tomorrow Morning I'll take you down to the meeting hall, Haru did most of it himself... I offered him a job here for as long as he wants to stay here... I think he is going to stay, he and Jade are really close now. Everyone sat down to dinner after Katara finished the tours of the apartments. Jade had cooked Dumplings and Grilled Vegetables.
They all sat down to eat, Katara was mashing cooked vegetables in a bowl for Kya and Sapphire as they talked."Do you remember when we stopped at Haru's village to eat and stretch our legs, when we were on our way to Ba Sing Se?" Katara asked Sokka and Suki.
"Yeah I remember, he seemed down when he found out you were married and pregnant." Sokka said, Haru blushed but Jade smiled at him.
"Jade asked us about him and I got an idea." Aang said.
"We set them up." Katara said. "Aang wrote to Haru asking for his help as an Earthbender to do the renovations. Jade didn't know Aang went to go get him."
"Now they are in love and nearly inseparable." Aang said.
"I thought I had imagined her." Haru said. "She was on my mind ever since I accidentally knocked her down and I helped her dust her dress off. I didn't even connect the color of her clothes with Aang and Katara's at the time."
"Katara, Aang, I love how you expanded your home, I think our whole Southern Water Tribe family will fit comfortably in it now." Suki marveled.
"It is so nice having Haru's help with the renovations, it's all made of earth so it was easy to do. We have to make a couple new dormitories, new people are join the Air Acolytes everyday and we are running out of space here.
It was getting late and the children all started getting fussy because they were sleepy. They all said goodnight, Suki and Sokka went to their apartment, Haru walked Jade to the Girl's dormitory, and Aang put Gyatso down to sleep in his bed. Katara took the girls into her and Aang's bedroom. When Aang came in Katara was nursing Sapphire; Kya would be next, she was on a blanket on the floor, she liked to scoot around and Katara didn't want her to fall off the bed as she explored.
Aang took off his shirt robes and boots and sat down on his big fluffy comfortable floor pillow. He closed his eyes and meditated as he listened to Katara's beautiful voice as she hummed to their daughter. He heard a happy baby scream, he opened one of his eyes to find Kya in front of him smiling, he couldn't help himself and laughed as he picked her up and cuddled her, she cooed, she definitely wanted her daddy. " Hi, Kya, my little Waterbender."
Katara laid a sleeping Sapphire in her bassinet, then Aang handed her Kya. Aang went back to meditating while Kya nursed. Aang heard Katara get up and put Kya into her bassinet. He heard Katara's dress fall to the floor, he opened one eye to take a peek at her... Her body was beautiful. He got up and put his hands around her bare torso, kissing her neck. She turned around and started kissing him. After the the kiss ended she gave a sad sigh. "I wish the girls weren't in our room anymore." She pouted.
"Why do you wish... Oooooohhhhh!" He realized why she no longer wanted the twins in their room.
"Hold on a second." He said as he fought his desires and carefully picked up Sapphire, put her into her crib in the twins' room than did the same with Kya.
