My story sticks MOSTLY (I brought 2 characters back to use as plugs to help move the story along) with Nickelodeon's timeline after the graphic novels "The Promise" & "The Search" & "The Rift" (parts 1 & 2 are the only parts out so far, they are still working on the rest) if you have never read them you can Google them there are scanned copies on and Yes you can zoom in and out to see and read the pics better they do clear up after a few seconds. Each story is 3 graphic novels long (tap the page to move to the next page. after you read each graphic novel just tap the pic like you are turning the page and it will go to the next part in the story) Mostly Kataang.

I write more in conversation than description. If you decide you don't like the story, could you send me a message about what I can do to make it more interesting, Please.

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.

Please R&R

Chapter 1

5 1/2 years after Aang took away Ozai's Firebending abilities.

Team Avatar, minus Toph, she refuses to go anywhere she couldn't 'see'; were on their way to The Southern Water Tribe Village that Sokka and Katara called home. They hadn't visited in a bit over a year and a half. Katara was excited about seeing her family and friends again after so long. They had been busy with The Harmony Restoration Movement. Then they helped babysit Azula when Zuko went to find his mother. They also assisted in getting a better government set up in Yu Dao. The Yangchan festival didn't go over as well as it should have, understatement of the century, but Aang and the Air Acolytes made the best of it. After seeing her friends that worked in the mine they had gone back home for a few months, then they were called away again for important Avatar business in the Earth Kingdom... Most recently, they had to deal with the little issues that were popping up in the Northern Air Temple between the Mechanist and the Air Acolytes that shared the temple. It was a lot of work for a small group of teenagers. They all needed this vacation badly.

Katara and Aang sat on Appa's head. They were leaning against each other and held hands. "Sweetie," Aang said, "I love you!"

"I love you more!" she replied.

"I loved you first." Aang goofy-grinned then stuck out his tongue.

Katara giggled "When was the first time you realized you loved me? Tell me again... Pleeeeease."

"I've told you like a million times." He sighed.

"Just one more time, Pleeeeeease." She pleaded and put on her adorable anime eyes.

"Why do you have to look so cute!? You know I can't say no when you do that." He gave in.

"That's exactly why I do it." She said sheepishly and kissed him softly.

"I... umm..." he started blushing "I started loving you when you first woke me up... I guess you could say that it was Love at first sight."

She giggled and blushed a bit "You were so cute when you woke up. You are such a little flirt. "She kissed his bright red cheek. "You're MY Little Flirt!"

"My turn, when did you start loving me?" He challenged her.

"I've loved you for longer than you know." She said like she always did when he asked her. She kissed his lips so lightly, so softly, making him break out in a smile and blush even more.

He never got a straight answer from her, which drove him crazy, 'I wish she would just tell me!' he thought.

Sokka brought them back from their Lovey Dovey Oogieness, "Hey, don't forget I was the reason we even found you..." He said with a cocky smirk. "Hey, I guess that I was the reason the 100 year war ended!"

"You think YOU are the reason the war ended, Sokka!?" Katara exclaimed, slightly raising her voice (Only by 10 levels above normal). "And how are you going to explain that?"

"Yeah! How?" Aang chimed in, not quite as loudly as Katara but still.

"Well..." Sokka started, as he cleaned under his fingernails with Boomerang. "If I hadn't made Katara mad, you wouldn't have been found... SOOO I saved the world! Hahaha!"

*RRRRRRRRR*

Appa groaned, pulling them out of the little argument. They where coming up on the Southern Water Tribe village, except it really wasn't really a village anymore. With Pakku's help and the Families that followed him from the Northern Water Tribe, the village has become more of an Icy city. (nowhere near as large as the Northern Water Tribe) There are now 30 foot tall walls with watch towers and an ice gate that led to an icy port for trade. As a frozen nation, its main exports were ice, fish, sea prunes, squid, seaweed, seal jerky, buffalo yack meat, furs and a number of other items made with seaweed. They were now importing fruits and vegetables as well as wares, coal, and firewood from all over the world.

The tribesmen no longer live in tents, now there were beautifully bent Igloos in neat rows creating little neighborhoods. The tribe contained over 200 people now. There were shops, markets and restaurants that were located on the perimeter of a large town square. This square is where Aang was preparing to land Appa. All the children of the village were all running to the square and laughed excitedly while seeing the return of the War Heroes.

As they landed Hakoda, Pakku and Kanna greeted them all with hugs. Everyone was talking at the same time, it was a grand reception for the heroes.

"Oh my, Katara, you have grown into a graceful and radiant young woman" Kanna gasped. "More so than your mother."

"Thank you Gran Gran." Katara replied, beaming.

Hakoda hugged his daughter "I would have to agree with my mother, you are the most beautiful Princess in the world."

Then, the proud father turned to his son."Sokka! My son you have become a strong warrior, a man worthy of the title of Chief, that is, after you finish your training. I'm looking forward to retiring in a few years." He hugged Sokka and pounded on his back.

"And Avatar Aang... it's an honor to see you again." Hakoda bowed deep as he greeted the young man his beautiful daughter brought with her; showing proper respect to 'The Avatar.'

"I am so glad that you have all chosen to visit home for a couple months." Hakoda spoke. "While you are here, Katara, there is very important tribal business that needs to be tended to. I need you to join me in the meeting hall after you have settled in."

"Important tribal business that you need ME for?" Katara questioned.

"Dad, can Aang, and I join you in this meeting ? Sokka asked.

"Of course son, no reason to postpone the start of your training, and actually The Avatar's presence is also STRONGLY requested." His father answered.

"Please, Chief Hakoda, I would be honored if you just called me Aang. You are the father of my girlfriend." Aang said.

Hakoda got a nervous look on his face but corrected himself very quickly with a forced smile. Aang picked up a bad vibe and got a bit worried.

A little while later Sokka, Katara and Aang entered the Council Room together. Everyone took a seat as Chief Hakoda stood to address them. "Thank you for joining me, Katara, Avatar Aang and Sokka; our Chief-in-training."He said while bowing for Aang, again.

"What kind of important tribal business is this, Dad?" Katara asked.

"The war is over," Chief Hakoda started, "But, as you know, there are still a few problems throughout the world. I am proud of you for helping The Avatar resolve what he could. The council has decided that we should go back to the pre-war traditions. Now we are requiring you to take upon yourself a different duty, one for The Southern Water Tribe that only you, Katara, can preform."

His daughter was confused and a bit nervous."What traditions?"

"I don't want to do this, but the Council has outvoted me."

Her father's behavior was worrying her and she knew something bad was coming by the look on his face. "What is it, Dad?" Her pulse quickened and her palms began to sweat.

Hakoda let out a puff of air, stalling for just another two seconds. He really didn't want to do this; he loved his daughter too much for this, but he was out of options. "My dear Katara. You are now 19, almost 20, and with the decision of the council, Tradition says: When the Chief's Daughters comes of age, Suitors are invited to bid for her hand."

Katara gasped "What!? No, I won't have it!"

Aang was hit by shock. 'Oh no!' He thought 'This is bad, this is really bad. No! No! NOOO!'

"I LOVE AANG!" Katara suddenly yelled and ran out of the room.

"Katara Wait, Please!" Her father yelled as she disappeared through the doors.

"Chief Hakoda, I,…" Aang said, his heart racing. Panic settled in. "I LOVE, Katara, you can't marry her off, please don't do this to us!"

A glimmer of hope was shown in Hakoda's eyes, all he wanted for his daughter in life was Love and Happiness. When he had first met Aang, after he was killed in Ba Sing Se, his daughter had been VERY protective over this boy. Katara had been torn from the inside when Aang left the Fire Navy ship they had over took, to try to fight the Fire Lord himself. He knew how much The Avatar meant to her, he didn't want to take that away from her. And therefor, he came up with something. But The Avatar had to figure it out by himself. "How old are you, Avatar Aang? Have you already talked to her about marriage?"

"I'm 17, Sir. I did gave it a thought but we've never really discussed it." Aang answered.

"Avatar Aang..." The Chief said, sighing, "I'm sorry but water tribe traditions say you must be of age to marry. Plus, you haven't even talked to her about marriage either."

Bato stepped in through the door," Chief Hakoda," He said "We have received 2 more letters from potential Suitors. That makes a total of 11 now."

"Thank you, Bato." Hakoda said rubbing his forehead with his fingers. He turned back to Aang "I wish we didn't have to do this. I believe that it is the right thing to do... But sadly, the Council has outvoted me."

"Sir... Is... Is there anyway this could be postponed for a few months?" Aang pleaded.

"I'm sorry Avatar," Hakoda said. "The council says it is already later than it should have been."

"But my Birthday is ONLY about 2 months away... 2 MONTHS! SIR, PLEASE!" Aang pleaded with the Tribe's Chief.

"I would like to ask permissions for your consideration as a suitor for the hand of Princess Katara of the Southern Water Tribe." Aang put in again.

"Permission denied, Avatar, you are only 17." The Chief answered, giving the Avatar a small hint. "Even with your birthday in 2 months we cannot accept you, you have to be of age at the time of acceptance!"

Panic set in and Aang's mind raced. He couldn't allow Katara to be taken from him because of a few months age difference, it's bull shit and unfair. He thought of some way to keep his True Love. Wasn't there anything, any other traditions from 100 years ago, that he had learned from the Monks and other nations that could be applied? This tradition was 100 years old like himself, Aang searched his memory. He thought about Bumi of the Southern Earth Kingdom in Omashu, he thought about Kuzon of the Fire Nation, he thought about Monk Gyatso... They where all gone or old, too old to help. Bumi was Aang's age, now he is an old man... Wait!

The young Avatar staggered back a couple of steps when realization hit him... 'King Bumi and I ARE the same age! We always have been!'

Hakoda saw that the young man almost fell backwards, "Are you alright, Avatar?" He asked a little concerned.

"Sir." Aang beamed with hope. "I'm sorry Chief Hakoda, I unintentionally lied to you."

The Chief raised his eyebrows. "And what was this lie you, unintentionally, told me, young man?" A bit of hope for his daughter's happiness was present in his voice. Had the Avatar understood his hint ?

"Sir..." The young man started, "I lied to you about my age. I'm not 17... I'm 117!"

Hakoda nodded in agreement and beamed. "Yes you are, Avatar. I am sorry, I was not allowed to remind you of this. Hereby is your request accepted! I would rather her marry you anyways." He hugged Aang and pounded his back a few times. "Now go find her quickly and tell her the good news !"

*Ok... there it is, the first chapter of my first story... Stay tuned for more adventures of KatAang*
