A Second First Date; Aang wants to take Katara out for the perfect date, their first date was so bad Aang want's this one to be perfect… Aang wants to take Katara out for the perfect date, their first date was so bad Aang want's this one to be perfect… You don't always get a second chance.

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.

Little did she know, life never goes as expected and that a young Airbending Master just starting out on her own is no exception. Will the winds of change bring her happiness and fulfillment?

Chapter 136

"I'm going to go check on Jade, then I will be back to help you get us all ready." Katara said as she changed out of her pajamas.

"Zuko asked for her to come too." Aang told her. "Would she and the babies be okay to travel so soon?"

"Yeah, they should all be fine as long as we don't fly to high." Katara told him.

"That's not too difficult." Aang told her. "I'll have the Acolytes load Appa and Pumpkin up with everything we need for the trip."

"Why does he want Jade there?" Katara asked him.

"He didn't say, he just said he wants her to come too." Aang told her.

"Okay, I'll be right back." She kissed him goodbye then waddled down a few levels to Jade and Haru's apartment.

She knocked on the door and patiently waited. When Haru answered the door he looked like she had just woke him up. "I'm sorry to bother you but I wanted to check on Jade and the babies." Katara told him.

"Okay, yeah! Come in." He told her, then led the way to the bedroom.

"Hi Katara!" Jade looked sleepy but so happy too.

"I wanted to make sure you and the babies were doing okay." Katara told her as she looked at the two sleeping babies in the single bassinette. "I also have some interesting news, we have been summoned to the Fire Nation. The Fire Lord has requested our presence at his wedding."

"What? His wedding?" Jade asked.

"Yeah, apparently he met a girl in Ba Sing Se, they fell in love and want us at their wedding." Katara told them.

"I wonder if I know her." Jade said as she got up and started packing for the trip ahead of them.

"Aang is having Appa and Pumpkin loaded with everything we need for the trip. The babies will be fine as long as we don't fly too high. I already told Aang that too." Katara told them. "Everything looks perfectly normal… I still can't understand why I didn't feel Tyra when I checked you, I only ever felt Bo."

"It's okay, she was a wonderful surprise… We named her Tyra because we only had two names decided on for our tiny boy, Bo or Tyro after my father." Haru said as he gently picked up the tiny girl. She was much smaller than her brother but just as strong. Katara could see the love on his face as he held his brand new daughter.

"When everything is ready I'll send Blossom and Rose over to help you guys with your stuff." Katara told them. "Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Katara." Jade called as she started collecting her family's belongings

…

It wasn't long before everyone was ready to go, they flew until just before sundown then set up their camp; Aang and Haru went off to get wood for the cooking fire. This trip was a special one, Blossom and Rose were asked to come along; they were so excited, the only traveling they had ever done was from their homes to the Southern Air Temple by ship. Flying through the air was like nothing they could have ever imagined. They were helping take care of all the children while Katara and Jade took care of all the chores around camp. The girls loved taking care of the children, it was one of their favorite chores.

"Your babies are so beautiful Jade." Rose said as she held tiny Tyra.

"I can't wait until I get married and have my own babies… we're seventeen now." Blossom said as she held Bo.

"It only seems like yesterday you were only fifteen." Katara told them. "You still have a little more growing up to do before you're ready to have families of your own."

When the guys got back Aang started the campfire with firebending, and the women began cooking dinner; every time Katara looked over at Aang he had a book and the small painting of his mother in his hands. He would read some then close the book then a few minutes later he would open it back up and read the same first few pages again. Katara wondered what was written in the book that could have him reading it over and over.

After they finished eating dinner they took care of the chores, it was pretty late so they all went to bed.

In the morning they had their breakfast, cleaned up their camp, leaving the land as they found it, like the Air Nomads did before. Then they were off on their way to the Fire Nation once more. Blossom and Rose rode on Appa, helping with the Avatar's children. Katara sat down next to Aang on Appa's head.

"She's beautiful." Katara said, Aang had spent a lot of time staring at the small black ink painting of him and his mother, he couldn't have been much older than Gyatso was now.

"She is… If I had known who she was… If I knew she loved me…" Aang said.

"You know now." Katara told him.

"But before… at one of the many Yangchan Festivals that I saw her." Aang shook his head, fighting the sting in his eyes.

"She looks like she loved you very much… Would a woman who was planning to turn her child over to the monks have portraits of her and her baby painted? You said she gave you an Egg Custard Tart every year; that she knew your birthday had just passed." Katara smiled. "Gyatso looks exactly like you." She said as she looked at the toddler on the paper, the same thick black mess of hair that refused to obey its owner, Aang smiled.

"You always know exactly what to say to help me feel better." He leaned over and kissed her.

"What have you found out about her?" Katara asked him.

"She says in her journal that she tried to hide me so that I wouldn't be taken from her… Many of her journal entries are addressed to me. Want to see?" Aang asked his wife as he pulled the book from beneath his robes. Katara took the book and began to read through the pages of the journal that was over one hundred years old.

To my Aang, Peaceful Soaring.

I decided to start writing to you because I'm scared that they are going to take you from me, and if they do we may never see you again. Right at this very moment I a watching you run around, watching you play, my happy boy. I want to start off with tell you about the night you were born; then I'm going to tell you everything about me.

The night you were born was the scariest night of my life. Not even seventeen; pregnant and all on my own. When I reached the Western Air Temple earlier that day they told me I had a few more weeks before it was time for you to come. I remember waking up to searing pain in my abdomen, the sky outside was totally dark, a volcano to the south had erupted and the ash was like a thick blanket in the sky. You were born perfectly healthy, one of the nurses said you glowed slightly, then dismissed it to the moon light… But my sweet little boy, the moon was not visible that night. At that moment I knew there was something special about you, I just didn't know how special. As I stared into your beautiful silver-grey eyes you stared right back into mine and I fell so in love with the new tiny person I had just brought into the world… I knew at that moment that I could never give you to the temple monks, I wanted to keep you all to myself forever.

I love you with all my heart, my beautiful baby boy, my Aang.

After finishing the first entry Katara wiped her eyes, "She truly did love you Sweetie… Why did she write Peaceful Soaring?"

"That's what Aang means, Peaceful Soaring." He told her.

"That's actually quite beautiful!" Katara said to him, she never knew what his name meant. "It fits you perfectly, you always try to find a peaceful solution to everything."

"She had a beautiful name too… Anila." He told her. "Can we name our daughter Anila, she is an airbender too?" He asked her as he placed his hand on her growing tummy.

"It would be an honor to name her after your mother!" Katara told him.

"Thank you! It means more to me than you know." He told her.

"I know how important family is to you… Us, your sister, brief as your time with her was; and Zakai and Anila's children, your half siblings, and their dependence." She told him. "Sweetie, I know you and your heart as well as you do."

"That's why I love you so much." Aang told her.

"I wonder what she meant by we... Your father and her?" Katara asked him.

"No, not my father… I think she meant Zakai." Aang told her.

"I have an idea! Why don't you have a little fun? You can take Gyatso out on your glider! I think he would love it. I had fun that time I glided at the Northern Air Temple with Tao. Except for the bug I swallowed." Katara laughed.

"I told you to keep your mouth shut, but nooooo you insisted on talking." Aang laughed at her. Aang stood up and hopped into Appa's saddle and looked through his stuff for the harness Katara had made for him and their son, Katara helped him into it.

"Gyatso, let's go fly!" Aang said as he opened his glider, he positioned his hands on the top fan.

"Ready!" The little boy said. He had seen Daddy on his glider many time, he was so excited that he got to go share the experience with daddy this time.

Aang jumped from the side of the saddle, hooking his feet on the lower fan as soon as they began their flight. Aang aimed straight for the great blue ocean below them, Gyatso screamed with delight as they picked up momentum. Aang flew them right above the water, letting his son reach out and skip his fingers along its smooth surface. Then they began to fly upwards again; they weaved in and out of the fluffy white clouds all around them.

Aang changed direction again sending them into a corkscrew straight up shooting passed Appa and the rest of their family, they were all smiling and waving at him as they shot by. He could hear his daughters' excited laughter as they watched the show he was putting on for them. At the top of the corkscrew he closed his glider letting them hover weightlessly as gravity caught up with them, pulling them back down into a free-fall.

Gyatso kept saying "More Daddy!" and "Higher Daddy, higher." Hearing his son share the same love for gliding as he did healed the soreness in his heart. He was finally able to share his love of gliding with his son. Aang did a few barrel roles, then finished off with a few loop-d-loops around Appa, gently landing back in the bison's saddle. "So fun Daddy! Again! Please?"

"Another time Little One, we are approaching land, and our next camping sight." Aang told the little boy. Their young children had the Nomadic trait in all of them, camping and flying from one place to the next didn't even bother them one bit.

His mother wasn't able to keep him like she wanted, but Aang now knows that she didn't give him up. He wondered if his mother ever took him gliding.

…

"Mommy! Mommy! Look!" Gyatso said, rousing Katara from her light nap. "We're here!" He was pointing to the great volcanic creator and the beautiful building inside it. It would still be another half hour before they landed, but seeing it meant it was time to start getting everyone ready. At this very moment fire signals started to be set off announcing their arrival to the great Capital of the Fire Nation.

When they landed there were lots of people awaiting them in the great stone courtyard. Appa set down first and Pumpkin followed, as she had the entire trip. Aang first jumped down and was quickly greeted with a hug and back pounding form the Fire Lord himself.

"I am so happy to see you guys!" Zuko told Aang.

"We are happy to be visiting again, though it concerned me a bit when you said you were getting married again." Aang told him.

"Let's get everyone unloaded and then we can all have tea in the garden and you can meet her." Zuko smiled.

"I don't think I've ever seen Zuko so happy before." Katara said as she passed her little ones down to Rose and Blossom, then slid down off of Appa herself.

"I'm so sorry, My Love, I would have helped you down!" Aang said as he rushed over to her.

"I'm fine Sweetie." She told him.

"GYATSO!" Ursa said excitedly wiggling herself out of her father's harm, hugging the small airbender.

"Where's Jade?" Zuko asked.

"She's on Pumpkin, we need to help her real quick; she had the babies." Katara told him.

"Babies?" Zuko asked.

"She had twins, the tiny one hid the entire pregnancy." Katara told him. "I never felt her when I checked Jade."

Everything was unloaded and deposited in the suites while they all washed up and readied themselves for tea. When they walked out to the garden with the turtle-duck pond they found Zuko talking to a young woman with long chocolate brown hair, her back was turned to them.

"Don't worry, they will love you." Zuko was reassuring her. "Look they are here now."

The girl took a deep breath then held it as she slowly turned around. "Guys this is…" Zuko was cut off.

"TARYN!" Jade said in shock.

"Jade!" Taryn said happily, she was so happy to see her long lost friend again.

"That's why Zuko wanted us to bring Jade." Katara whispered to her husband.
