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 78

Aang rolled over and found Katara's side of the bed empty. He and Katara had fallen asleep naked. He got up and threw on his robes for the day. He went into The Twin's room and found Katara in the rocking chair feeding Sapphire. Kya was exploring their new bedroom. The twins will be 6 months old in just a few week, which meant Gyatso's 2nd birthday is also coming up in a week.

She looked up at him and smiled. "I told you I would be able to hear them just fine from in there. Kya already ate, would you like to change her and dress her for me, Please?"

Gyatso came walking into the twins room. "Mommy? Daddy?"

Katara smiled. "Good Morning Little One. Did you just wake up? I'll make breakfast as soon as Sapphire is done eating."

"My sissers!" Gyatso said.

"Yes, Little One, they are your sisters." Aang told his son as he set Kya back on the floor and picked up Gyatso. "Lets go change you in your room."

Aang left The twins' room carrying his little prodigy to his own room to get his diaper changed and dressed for the day. "We are going to have visitors coming, they might be here later today. They are going to be here for a few months, So you need to be a good boy. Can you be a Good boy?"

"No bad, Daddy!" Gyatso said.

"Yeah, not bad! Good boy!" Aang smiled and picked his son up and hugged him tight. "You're almost always a good boy, you just drive Mommy crazy sometimes. I love you, Little One."

Katara came out of the twins' room with one on each hip. "Guess what they just started doing?" She said with a huge grin.

"What did they start doing?"

"Watch, want to go to Daddy?" She asked the two little girls.

"dadadadada" they said together.

A huge grin came over his face, he looked like he was walking on air, he was so happy. He took them and hugged them. Katara was so happy as she watched how something as regular and basic as a family had her husband walking on air... well walking on more air than normal, for him.

"We all Love Daddy don't we?" Katara said, the twins started their little chant again "Dadadadada" And Gyatso joined in "Yes love Daddy!"

"Come on Sweetie, lets have fruit and hot cereal for breakfast." Katara told her Husband. He looked like he was about to float away.

"I love you all with all my heart!" He said to his family.

Haru came out of his room to all the happiness and giggling and Dada-ing. "Good Morning everyone."

"Good Morning Haru. I hope you slept well." Katara said.

There was a knock at the door than Jade walked in, "Hi everyone, Good morning!"

"Good morning Jade" Katara said. "The girls can say Dada now!"

"Aang looks like he could walk on clouds right now." Jade giggled.

"Clouds are just air and water." Aang told her matter-of-factually.

"Ok, I'm going to start the hot cereal and water for tea. Jade would you and Haru please go down to the kitchen and get some soft fruits for us to have with the cereal?"

"Ok." Haru said.

"The tea should be done when you two get back." Katara called as they walked out.

"You look happy!" Katara said to her husband.

"I don't think anything could make me happier, I have the woman of my dreams, I have an adorable son that will be two next week, and my daughters just said their first word 'Dada' I love you all!" He told his family

The horn blew. Aang and Katara Looked at each other a little confused. Katara went to their window that had a view of the common Square and view of the open air around it. She saw a Balloon with the fire Nation Symbol on it. "Zuko and Mai are here!" She said. "You go meet them I have to feed our little ones."

"Ok, I'll bring them over after they get settled in." Aang kissed his wife then each of his children. He swiftly walked down to the Square where the balloon was landing.

Aang got to the balloon just as Zuko and Mai walked off. Aang had a huge smile on, he was happy to see his friend. "Zuko! Welcome to MY home... The Southern Air Temple!"

"Aang, it is so great to see you!" The friends hugged. "Where's Katara and your children?"

"They are at home still, we haven't had breakfast yet. Would you like to join us? I'll Have your stuff brought up to your Apartment, it is next door to ours." Aang told his friend.

"How are your three beautiful children?" Mai asked.

"Kya and Sapphire said their first word today! They said 'Dada' and Gyatso's Birthday is next week, he'll be two." Aang was so happy.

"Ok, lets go to your house." Zuko said.

"Xing Ying, Who is assigned to help The Fire Lord and Lady? They need to help move The Fire Lord and Lady's stuff to the apartment." Aang told her

"Yes, Avatar Aang, I'll get them to work right away." She responded.

"Thank you Xing Ying." Aang said as he lead his friends back to his home.

Jade and Haru came back to the apartment before Aang had returned. "We're back." Jade called.

Katara came out of the kitchen. "The cereal is almost done and Aang should be back soon."

"Where did Aang go?" Haru asked.

"Didn't you hear the horn?" Katara smiled.

"Yeah, what does it mean?" He asked.

Jade's eyes got huge. "Someone is here!"

"Yep, Zuko and Mai are here!"

"Fire Lord Zuko and Lady Mai are wonderful! It will be nice seeing them again!"

"F...Fire Lord Zuko..." Haru looked a bit nervous.

"Is royalty making you nervous Haru?" Katara Laughed.

"I've never been close to royalty." Haru said.

"You have no problem with me... I was Princess Katara of the Southern Water Tribe... and now I am Lady Katara Wife to the Leader of the Air Nomads and Air Acolytes as well as being The Avatar." Katara laughed when Haru realized he was staying with The most Powerful man in the world.

"I forgot all about that stuff!" Haru said.

"The Avatar is the bridge between our world and the spirit world, an all powerful supreme being who's only purpose in life it to maintain balance in the world." Jade said to him.

"I never thought of Aang like that, he was always just a kid, a goofy kid that followed Katara wherever she went." Haru said.

"Correction, I followed him wherever he went." Katara laughed. "Appa is his not mine."

*Jingle jingle*Aang came walking in. "He is yours too now."

"Hello Katara." Zuko said.

"Hi!" Katara hugged her friend. "I am so happy to see you Zuko and Mai." Katara hugged Mai also. "Hi Ursa, You are beautiful." She said to the little girl.

"Ok everyone Tea? Breakfast?" They all followed her to the dinning area, Katara and Aang were feeding their little girls cereal and fruit, Gyatso fed himself.

"They truly are beautiful little girls." Zuko and Mai said.

"Sapphire is an Airbender, and a bully, she likes to kick and eat her sister." Aang explained "And Kya makes water ripple when she cries, she likes to try to escape and explore everywhere."

"So you have a fighting Airbender, and a Nomadic Waterbender." Zuko laughed.

"Those are my little girls!" Katara smiled.

Haru came out of his room, he was nervous about Zuko. "Haru, Why are you being nervous, you knew Zuko back at The Western Air Temple."

"Because he wasn't the Fire Lord then." Haru said everyone laughed.

"I'm the same person I was then." Zuko laughed.

"You all remember Jade right?" Katara said.

"Yeah, she is a sweet girl." Mai said.

"She is Haru's girlfriend now, they are so cute together." Katara told them.

There was a knock at the door, Aang answered it. "Hi girls!"

"Jasmine, Lilly, Rose, & Blossom I'd like you to meet our close friends Fire Lord Zuko, Lady Mai, and their daughter Ursa. Zuko, Mai these are my girls, I told you so much about." Katara said.

The girls bowed to them and froze in place, not sure what to say or how to act.

"Hello girls, Katara has told us so much about you." Mai said trying to calm the girls' nerves.

"Girls they are just like Aang and I, normal people." Katara told them "Long time friends."

"But Lady Katara, didn't he try to kill Avatar Aang... That's what you said in the stories you told us."

"No, it was his sister that killed me." Aang laughed. "He just wanted to take me back to the Fire Nation to restore his Honor...

"I also told you Zuko was Aang's Firebending Master, didn't I?" Katara asked them.

"Y... Yes." The nervous girls said.

There was another knock at the door. "Good thing we expanded our home." Katara said as she got up to answer the door. Suki and Sokka were standing in the hall. "Hi! Guess who is here!" Katara said to her brother.

When they came in they saw Zuko and Mai. "Zuko! Mai! How have you been?" They hugged their friends.

"Oh, He is just adorable!" Zuko told his former personal body guard.

Everyone sat down and had tea and hot cereal.

"Ok girls, why don't you take all 5 little ones into Gyatso's room and play with them." Katara asked her girls.

Within a matter of minuets everyone under 17 was off playing in Gyatso's room.

"Would you all like to go on a walk in a little while? We told Sokka and Suki that we would show them the meeting hall that Haru and I fixed up, Haru did most of it, I had to deal with other matters during the renovations on the building... Zuko you and Mai have never been here before, I hope you find my home to your liking." Aang told them. "This is where I grew up... well until I was 12, then I ran away, got frozen for 100 years and you know the rest."

"Is there anything like a tea shop or bakery where we could get lunch?" Mai asked.

"Oh, uuummmm, The kitchen is always open, We will show you the Dinning hall... Our kitchen doesn't have any meat... Air Nomads and Air Acolytes are vegetarians. You can send the Air Acolytes assigned to you to the kitchen and bring the food up to you, You can get it cooked or get the stuff you need to cook for yourselves." Aang said.

"Will we have to pay for our meals?" Zuko asked.

Katara was giggling. "No, we are self-sufficient, we have no poverty, no income, no rent, no costs of any kind. We have our own greenhouses everything you find here grows here."

"He has turned my sister into a vegetarian!" Sokka said.

"Seriously Sokka? I'm not a vegetarian I eat meat still... just not as often."

"The Air Whatevers have brain washed my meat loving sister."

"I have four Air Nomads I cook for, I will not feed them meat. Kya may be a Waterbender but she is also an Air Nomad, Like her father... Kind of like Kori from Yu Dau, Her mother was an Earthbender but her father was Fire Nation."

"And you are more than welcome to come over and visit with us, eat over, I'm a wonderful cook, You wont even notice the lack of meat... If you really need some I have a Seal Jerky stash, and Sokka and Suki brought a bunch of smoked fish." Katara said with a laugh.

"You traitor!" Sokka said "That's My meat!" Everyone laughed at Sokka.

"Ok lets get the children ready, Aang can you please run down to the kitchen and get snack and lunch baskets put together for all of us, we can pick them up on our way down?"

"Jade, can you help me get the picnic blankets ready?" Katara asked.

Next Katara went to Gyatso's room and told the girls to help get the babies ready for a day outside. Katara packed bags with diapers and extra clothes for the babies.

Aang came back after 20 minuets, everyone was ready to walk down and see the new meeting hall. Everyone enjoyed the scenery as they walked. They made a stop at the kitchen, Aang, Haru and Sokka all came out with 2 baskets of food in each hand. "They have decided on a feast in Honor of Fire Lord Zuko and Lady Mai's Arrival." Aang told them.

"They love having feasts don't they?" Suki asked with a laugh.

"More than you know." Katara laughed. "Ok lets head on."

When they got to the new meeting hall everyone was astounded at how beautiful it had turned out. "It was mostly Haru doing it." Aang reminded them. Above the door it read "Monk Gyatso Memorial Meeting Hall."

"Who was Monk Gyatso?" Zuko asked. "Your son's name is Gyatso."

"He was my guardian, my friend, the only friend I had after I was told I was The Avatar. He raised me... I found his bones in here when I came here after... well after I buried your ship in snow, Zuko."

"Aang was so heartbroken, he was so upset he went into the Avatar State, Katara brought him out..." Sokka said.

"Katara has brought him out many times hasn't she?" Zuko asked. Remembering her calming Aang down a few times.

"Yeah, she is the only one who could calm him down." Sokka responded.

They all went to Katara's favorite spot, the field with the Waterfall, and ate lunch picnic style.

(A/N I'm so sorry, this chapter just fell apart on me. It was like lighting an awesome firework and it turned out to be a dud... I'm so so so sorry to all my fans, bare with me, the next chapter is better, and I'm throwing in a lemon for all of you (I know those are what many of you look forward to) I haven't found many stories that contain lemons throughout the story.)

Now that you are at the bottom of the page, please take just a few seconds to leave me a review!
