when a letter comes...
~~~~~
"dear father, our training is complete and we are getting ready to leave. we should be in new York by next week. the ninja tribunal said we have done very well. we have missed you. mikey wont sit still because he is so excited and he wont shut up about video games and pizza. raph has been talking about sparing with tiffany. he wants to know exactly how good she is according to him. you might want to warn her to be careful around him. the same for shifu. raph seems more egger to spare with shifu though because he is a master. raph wants to also show casey some new moves we learned. donnie is finishing the last of the books in their library. he has read almost all of their books. he cant wait to continue his experiments we was doing with leatherhead and april. as for me I have been meditating. personaly, all I want to do when we get home is to sit down with my friends and family and relax for the first time in a long time. can you tell april, casey, and leatherhead that we said hi and that we are coming back? usagi too if you can. we cant wait to see them. we cant wait to see everyone. we will all be together again soon. sincerely, leonardo."
~~~~~
a girl must go.
~~~~~
"should I go with her?" shifu asked.
"no. she can take care of herself. once she finds my sons, they can protect her."
~~~~~
alone.
~~~~~
"get on board and wait until you are in New York to even step out of the cargo area. find a man hole cover and get inside. I gave you a map to find my burrow. wait for my sons there and make sure they don't step inside. there could be agents in there still. tell them everything once you are in a safe place not in the sewers and bring them on this same ship that will bring you all home. the ship leaves in 24 hours once you get to New York so you must be fast. we will be waiting at home."

looking down i seen 4 giant talking, walking turtles. one with a purple mask with a bow, one with a blue mask with katanas, another with a red mask with sais, and another with an orange mask that had nun chucks. they were walking to the door and trying to open it. i was smirking because they couldn't either. i got down quietly and tapped the one with the blue mask on the shoulder. he jumped alittle and looked at me. "uhhh guys?" he said to the others. they looked at him then at me.
"h-hi." i said shyly.
"yea... hi." said the one with the red mask.
~~~~~
5 friends...
~~~~~
"its all I've wanted since we left. what if he changed?" Leo whispered.
"trust me. he hasn't." I assured him.
~~~~~
secrets...
~~~~~
"why wont you tell us anything? its clear that you know whats going on." he said after awhile.
"I told you, Splinter told me not to say anything until we are in a safe spot on the surface. he also told me not to let you guys in here! if I cant honor that wish I will make sure that I keep my mouth shut until we are up there." I said while pointing to the ceiling to jester to the streets.
~~~~~
thrill...
~~~~~
the boys came back breathing hard. "ship...we're...sailing...late....gonna.....way...that....crap!!!" mikey said while breathing hard. we looked at him in confusion.
~~~~~
family...
~~~~~
"I should have been there! instead I wasn't.... and you got hurt... protecting people is my duty. I failed to protect you. I should have at least gotten there faster so I could have stopped it. I don't know what happened... one moment it seems we will prevail then I'm alone. he just got out of sight. I cant believe that I trained under the tribunal for so long and I cant even defeat one opponent with my bothers!"
~~~~~
"are you sure that's a good idea with the situation we're dealing with at the moment?" leo asked.
"did you just call me a problem?" I asked leo. I crossed my arms and glared through him.
~~~~~
"no buts about it! if you continue down this path you will be your own enemy. just relax once awhile and remember that you are not just a solder but a person. like any other person, you need do things that make you happy. do something fun like sky diving, date, go to the movies, play sports, or go for a simple swim. if you do the simplest of things it doesn't mean you'll lose the next battle. you have to live without regrets. and the way its looking your only regret will be that you never truly lived."
~~~~~
he jumped and looked at me. I wasn't exactly smiling to that comment. "no, no , no, no! that's not what I meant! I just meant....I just want to make....ughhh" he smacked his forehead with his palm.
~~~~~
humor...
~~~~~
"you little shit. but, it doesn't matter if you tell me or not. I will find him and kill him. he can run if he wants to. it'll make it interesting but he cant hide forever. there is no way he can escape from me. I gave you the chance to live and you turned it down. fine. but, don't expect any mercy out of me. I'll be the end to your life."
~~~~~
"you can count on us."
~~~~~
and love.
~~~~~
"I don't care. no one should be judged on for their outside alone. they are amazing people. I just feel sorry that you cant see that."
"so, even if I kill you-"
"I still wouldn't care. they are my friends and I would never do anything to put them in danger."
~~~~~
all leading to one thing.
~~~~~
"thank you.....for everything...."
