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.

I Want to thank my beta readers for their help, advice, and contributions:

Chapter 117

Aang and Katara were both getting ready for bed when there was a loud knock on their door. Aang threw his shirt back on and answered the door.

"Avatar Aang I'm truly sorry to disturb you and your wife right now, but Fire Lord Zuko needs to see you right away." The guard told him.

"Okay, I'll go now." Aang turned to Katara, "I'll be back as soon as I can."

"No, Avatar Aang he needs to see BOTH of you... Now please." The guard told them.

Katara threw her night robe on over her nightgown and informed Jade that Zuko wants to talk to her and Aang, and to keep an ear open for the children.

The guard ushered them to Zuko's family suite. Once the were inside they found Zuko rubbing his temples, in front of him on the floor lay a piece of paper with the edges singed. "You asked to see us." Aang said to him.

"I don't know what to do!" Zuko said "You guys are the closest friends, I need to know someone's there for me and my little princess. Someone who isn't going to up and leave without so musc as an explenation why." He walked over to the fireplace and yelled out in frusteration causing the flames to grow huge then die back down to the flicker that it once was.

"Zuko, calm down... Take a few breaths and tell me what's wrong." Katara said as she sat down next to him. Aang picked up the singed paper off the floor and quickly read the short note.

"Oh, this is not good!" Aang said after quickly reading over it. "Zuko, I'm so sorry... Any help you

Aang could see the confused look on his wife's face. "Mai left them."

"Oh Spirits no!" Katara gasped. "I'm so sorry... Like Aang said we are always here for you, we will give you any help you need."

"Katara do you think you could show me how to raise her on my own... Since you had to do it for a while." He asked her.

When she looked into his eyes she saw so much pain and anger. Katara wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. "I'll teach you everything you need to know."

"She doesn't really saw why she left." Aang said.

"I don't understand how a woman could just up and leave... How could she just abandon her child like that." Katara said. "Has she been acting differently lately?"

"She started to act differently when I told her Toph was coming. I told her Toph can tell if people were lying, how Toph is extra sensative to movements, how she can see everything around her with just her feet... How Toph can hear beetles burrowing underground." Zuko explained to his best friends.

"She has a hightened sence of smell too." Aang said as his eyes shifted momentarily to his wife.

"In what ways did she acted different?" Katara asked him.

"She kind of became distant, talked to me less and less... there were a few days that I didn't really see much of her at all... Then she started to pay less attention to Ursa. I found her wandering around on her own a few more times, that really bugged me." Zuko took in a deep breath then let it out slowly. "Today I found Ursa wondering around on her own so I just took care of her today... I sent a servent to get her tonight to put Ursa to bed. That's when they brought me that note."

"Okay, we all need to get some rest, I'll help you first thing in the morning. Have you ever taken care of her on your own? Like if Mai was sick or anything like that." Katara asked him.

Zuko shook his head "No she always did it all."

"Is Ursa still in diapers?"

"No, she was potty trained right away." Zuko told them.

"Okay, good that's one thing that will be easier to deal with. I will come right after my family eats breakfast. Do what you know how to do and I'll start teaching you the rest." Katara told him.

"Okay, My Love lets go to bed...We have three of our own little ones that need to be cared for too." Aang told her.

"I know Sweety. Goodnight Zuko." Katara told him as she gave him one more hug then followed her husband out the door and back to their own area.

Aang took her hand and in his free hand he held a small flame to light their way back to their suite and into their room. Katara took off her robe and slipped between the soft satin sheets. "Aang... I don't understand how a woman could leave her child like that." She said as she laid her head on her pillow.

Aang took his clothes off, sleeping in his underware like he always did. "I honestly don't know My Love... I know my people did it all the time but I don't understand how they could do it. I would never leave our family..." Aang shook his head. "I just couldn't"

"I know Sweetie, you're nothing like how your people were." Katara said.

"I never had the chance to know my parents but I wish I did... I always wondered who they were, what they looked like... I would at least liked to know their names." He pulled her aginst him and they both drifted into a sweet slumber.

(Zuko)

"Would you please just stop." Zuko said to his daughter. "I need to get you dressed."

"NO! Mommy do it!" The two year old said to her father.

Zuko sighed then said "Mommy... Mommy isn't here, I have to do it."

The tiny girl's golden eyes went wide. "No! You a boy!"

"I'm your Daddy, you have to let me dress you." Zuko said to her sternly.

There was a knock at the door, when Zuko opened it Katara and Gyatso were standing in front of him. "Thank the Spirits you're here. She wont let me dress her because I'm a boy."

"Gyatso go sit on the couch please." Katara said to her mini-airbender. "He begged me to let him come too." Katara directed towards Zuko.

"Kay Mommy." He climbed onto the couch and sat down.

"Hi Ursa, Can I help get you get dressed?" Katara asked the girl sweetly.

"Kay, you girl." The little girl said taking hold of katara's hand and walked into her bedroom.

"Lets find you a pretty dress to ware." Katara waslooking through all the small dresses in Ursa's closet.

"Where my Mommy?" She asked Katara.

"I think you need to talk to your Daddy about that." Katara told her as he pulled one of the dresses and started helping the little girl dress.

"You a Mommy?" Ursa asked.

"Yeah, I'm a Mommy. I have three children, Gyatso, Kya and Sapphire, and I have one growing in my tummy right now." Katara said as she helped the girl put her arms through the dress sleeves.

"I like Gyatso!" Ursa said.

Katara chuckled, "I know." After the girl was dressed Katara brought her into the main room to do Ursa's hair. Zuko watched as Katara brushed the little girl's hair then started to braid it. The small girl was wiggly but it didn't effect her hair at all.

"How do you do that with her being so wiggly?" Zuko asked Katara.

"It's not difficult... I put Kya and Sapphire's hair up almost every day, they move around more than Ursa is right now. Come here and I'll show you how to braid her hear."

Zuko took a seat next to Katara and watched closely as Katara showed him how to weave the sections of hair together, she then tied the end and went to the other half of Ursa's hairand slowly weaved it's sections together. "That really doesn't look hard at all! Thank you so much Katara. I am very greatful for your help."

"It's no problem at all... Anything you need, we're here." Katara told him.

"Tea?" Zuko asked her.

"Yeah, that would be great." Katara told him as she watched the to small children were run around play, Gyatso, being the little show-off that he is, was showing off what airbending he could do. Ursa would giggle and clap her hands.

Zuko came back with a tray in his hands; it had a tea pot and two tea cups. "He's doing it again."

"Yeah... he's a presistan little flirt." Katara laughed, "Just like his Daddy."

"Ya know... I was quite surprised when I found out you liked Aang." Zuko said.

"What? Why were you surprised?" Katara asked him.

"Well... I don't know... I just always seen him as a goofy kid to me." Zuko told her.

"He was a goofy kid, he still acts goofy at times." Katara laughed. "But I love him... and I have for quite a long time... Longer than people know."

"Really? How long did you like him?" Zuko asked, couriocity getting the better of him.

"Liked him... well that came right after he stopped the Mount Makapu from destroying the village at it's base... Loved him since just after the Fire Nation attacked the North Pole." Katara gasped and clapped her hand over her mouth. "I'm so sorry I didn't think before I said that!"

"It's okay, I was different then... I made mistakes and I have owned up on them." Zuko told her. "I've spent a lot of time rectifying the mistakes I made."

"You became a great person and the best Fire Lord in a long time... I am happy to call you family."

"Thanks!" Zuko said with a laugh. "Wanna know something funny?"

"Sure, why not." Katara said.

"I had a crush on you for quite a while." Zuko said then laughed. "All the way up until you and Aang got together." His cheeks turned bright red.

Katara started to laugh too. "I'm sorry I'm not laughing at you... I'm laughing because I was just a simple everyday girl in a tiny frozen village with only one permanate structure, my best marrage prospects were men at least eight years older then me, one of the singel men that left with my father. Look at me now, you the Fire Lord are one of my best friends. I'm married to The Avatar... My world was flipped upside down when I found a boy frozen in an iceberg, I bring him to my village and then the next day you showed up."

"You weren't just a simple everyday girl." Zuko said.

"Oh this coming from tha guy that always called me a pesant, that acted like my exisitance discusted him!" Katara said.

"I was stupid didn't know how to express myself..." Zuko laughed, then pointed to the little boy that was playing with his daughter, "We ended up with who we were ment to be with... Maybe in the future we will be family." They both laughed, Gyatso had leaned over and placed a kiss on Ursa's cheek.

"Yeah... I think so too." Katara said. "He's been flirting with her since they first met."

Katara spent most of the day helping Zuko learn all he needed to raise a child on his own. They both knew Ursa would be asking about her Mommy several times a day. Zuko decided that he was going to tell Ursa that she went to visit her parents.

"Hi Sweetie. Did the girls give you any trouble?" Katara asked then kissed her husband.

"No, they were perfect for me today." Aang told her.

"Gyatso kissed Ursa today." She laughed.

Aang laughed. "He sure does take after me."

"Yes he does... I think we may become family in the future." Katara told him.

"Yeah, I think so too." Aang said. They sat down on the couch and Katara snuggled up aginst her husband. "I missed you so much today."

"I missed you too." Aang told her.

"Zuko admitted to me that he was one of 'Those guys' too." Katara laughed.

"Those guys?" Aang wasn't sure what she ment.

"'Those guys'... You, Haru, Jet and now Zuko too." Katara laughed.

"Ooooohhhh 'Those Guys'" Aang laughed. "Yeah, I already knew he was one... But you are all MINE!" He kissed her softly.

"You KNEW he liked me?!" Katara was surprized at her husbands words.

"I was twelve not stupid." Aang chuckled.

After Zuko put Ursa to bed he went to his office, he unlocked the door and walked in. He had a small flame in his hand prepairing to light the lame when he heeard a voice come from where his couch in he office was.

"Hello Zuzu!"

"Dammit Azula what are you doing in here, I had it locked?!" Zuko told his sister.

"Oh, Zuzu, you know locks don't keep me out... Besides I have information for you. Oh! I almost forgot, I can't believe Mai left you and went back to her parents... You do know her parents have very high positions in the New Ozai Society... She left you for the people trying to free father and kill you and your daughter. She had to leave before she was discovered by that dirt girl."
