Splinter pov
I was in the main room watching the television when I overheard my students in the kitchen talking. "dude, what about this one?" I heard Mikey say.
"sure and this one too." I heard Tiffany say.
"too much!"
"nonsense, we need to taste it."
"but its gonna knock out the punch from it."
"we'll add some grape, no one can tell the difference. hand me some root beer."
I had to see what they were up to. I went in the kitchen and seen Tiffany and Michelangelo mixing difference drinks in to a bowl. "I wonder what will happen if we add a Mentos..."
Tiffany scoffed, "it'll blow the place up." she noticed me in the door way. "hi."
"hello. what are you doing?" I asked.
"we're just mixing drinks. we're looking for some new flavor."
"we got pop, kool aid, energy drinks. we're going to mix it then try it." my son said while pouring more soda into the bowl. I walked away and passed Donatello's room. he was mixing things too.
"my, are all my students mixing things today?" I asked him.
"what? oh no. I brought this science kit and I'm just trying out a formula I was working on with the ninja tribunal. its going to increase strength. I figure we could use it in fights as a last resort."
"my son, true strength is not there if it is false. it must be apart of you."
"it will, its easy to digest."
"that is not what I meant."
Shifu pov
     I walked in the kitchen and sat at the table. Michelangelo was alone and mixing things in a bowl. I wasn't even going to ask. sipping me tea, I heard foot steps in the hall. Donatello and Splinter walked in. the turtle was holding a silver can. I heard them talking. "this needs to be refrigerated. if its not cool, it can overheat." the turtle said while putting it in the fridge.
    "how do you know it will work, my son?" Splinter asked.
    "I don't yet. I need to test it. when I test it, I can determine if there is something to work on or not. but I need someone to try it..."
    "perhaps you could ask someone."
    "well, first it needs to cool."
    they walked out and I went after them. "don't you think you should label it?!?"
Tiffany pov
    I walked back into the kitchen with another bottle of pop. Mikey was still mixing. "hey, Mikey, anymore drinks? I have more root beer but I think it could be over powering."
    "let me see." he opened the fridge and came back. "look what I found."
    I read it. "Energy? I don't think this is a drink."
    he popped it open. "smells fruity."
    "I don't think we should use it. damn it, I left the mixer in the attic." I ran out of the room to get it.
Splinter pov
    we were all now at the dinner table having lunch together speaking about our day. "I think Don might wanna fix the dojo. me and Leo had a sparing session and it was a good one." my son, Raphael, smirked. Mikey came over with a jug of purple liquid. "whats that?"
    "its a drink. me and Tiffany went a little nuts with mixing today. you guys have to try it!" he began to pour their creation into glasses. I was personally afraid to try it. Shifu and myself decided to pass because we had our tea. each of them took sips.
    "hey, this is good!" Leonardo exclaimed.
    "yeah, whats in it?" Donatello asked.
    "well, lets see." Mikey thought for a moment. "pepsi, root beer, kool aids, that can thingy, some sugar-"
    "what can thing?!?"
    "I don't know. it said energy."
    "that wasn't a drink! that was an experiment I've been working on!"
    "what? you used it?" Tiffany asked in anger. "whats going to happen, Donnie?"
    "we might experience high amount of energy,. but, it is untested so who knows what could really happen."
    "nothing happened so far. maybe we'll be okay." Raph suggested.
    "I guess..."
    we continued with our meal. I kept a close eye on my students. nothing was happening. "how in the world did you guys break it to begin with?" Donatello asked.
    "I threw Leo into it." Raph told him. "what can I say, sometimes I forget how strong I am... what the?!?" his voice was cracking.
    "are you o-kay? oh no!" Tiffany held her neck. "my voice is cracking too!"
    "whats happening, Don?" Leonardo asked.
    "it seems it has more effects then we presumed." I told him.
    "there shrinking!" Shifu gasped.
    they were getting smaller and smaller. I could no longer see them. I stood up and seen four little turtles and a little girl with long black hair at the age of 3 to 5 in the chairs my students were. Leonardo looked around. "Splinter, why are you tho big?" he asked. his voice was light and childish.
    "hey, Shifu looks bigger too." Donatello noted. "in fact, everything looks bigger."
    Tiffany looked down. she then screamed. 'they didn't get bigger. we got smaller! I told you not to add it, you dummyhead."
    "I'm not a dummyhead, you cootie stasher!" Mikey retorted.
    "duty head!"
    "snot muncher!"
    "toad boy!"
    "goth girl!"
    "ribbit!"
    "grave licker!"
    "ribbit RIBBIT RIBBIT!!!!"
    "stop that and focus!" Leonardo shouted. "we're tiny!!!"
    "like...child size?" Mikey asked.
    "oh no! I don't want to be a kid!" Raph said.
    "me either, my childhood sucked!" Tiffany complained. all of a sudden, all the children started to cry.
    "it- its okay." Shifu tried to calm them down.
    "don't cry, Children. everything is going to be fine." I cooed. I went over and held them. they ceased their tears but they were hiccupping and sniffling. I poured out the glasses and got them new glasses of water. Shifu and I passed them out.
    "what happened?" Shifu asked.
    "it seems Donatello's serum reversed their age."
    "okay, how do we fix it?"
    "I do not know."
    "what do we do with them?"
    "we should keep an eye on them and change Tiffany's clothing." when they got younger, their clothing did not. so my turtles' gear were hanging off of them and Tiffany was only in a sweater too big for her. I picked her up and carried her to her room. I looked around for anything in her size. I sighed in relief when I found a bear her size. the bear was in a black overall dress that went to the knee with a purple undershirt. it had matching black dress shoes. I also took off the diaper like underwear. thank goodness she makes toys. I undressed the bear and handed her the outfit. "change into this. okay?" she nodded. "when you are done, come to the main room." she nodded again. I closed the door behind me and walked into the main room. the shifu sized turtles were running around the room.
    shifu ran up to me. "I got them to calm down but now I cant get them to sit down."
    "they seem to very energetic."
    Raphael was chasing Leonardo around and when he ran past me, I picked up Leonardo. he stopped moving his feet then started to squirm. "no no no no no!!!!" he was moving franticly. I held him close.
    "I forgot, you were afraid of heights as a child." I put him down. "Shifu, if you wish to cease any child, you can simply do this." I picked up the remote and turned the channel to a cartoon show. I felt a tug on my robe. when I looked down, I seen a little in the clothing I provided her. she seems to have brushed out her black, wavy hair that reached her shoulders. she held a purple ribbon in her hand. I took it.
    "I cant tie bows like my mummy can. can you help me?" she asked.
    "of course, my dear." I tied the bow on top of her head. I was not used to babysitting little girls but if this was the most it was needed then it shouldn't be too hard. she thanked me and ran over to the turtles in front of the television. a show came on called 'happy tree friends.' it sounded innocent enough. it had many colorful animals in the intro. it began with two animals making lemonade. I was called into the kitchen by my friend Shifu.
    "we have to reverse it!"
    "yes. I think we should begin by looking to see if Donatello made an antidote. we should look through his notes. maybe they could provide an answer." no sooner did I suggest that, we heard screams from the main room. we ran in to see the children screaming and crying. I looked to the television and seen the animals in a bloody mess. I quickly turned it off.
    "what were they watching?!?" Shifu asked while holding the crying Michelangelo.
    "happy tree friends. Tiffany watches it all the time. I thought it was child friendly."
    "you think Tiffany watches child friendly programs?!?"
    "lets try to calm them down." Raphael and Donatello were hugging each other crying while Leonardo was sniffling. Michelangelo was hiding under the chair and Tiffany was rocking back and forth with her head in her hands sobbing. "I think I know how to take care of this." I turned the television back on but changed the channel to Disney junior. Leonardo was watching. I went to the kitchen and heated up the left over pizza. I placed it down in front of them. this caught the turtles attention. they were eating while Tiffany was still rocking back and forth. I had to think for a moment. girls must be not comforted by food as much a boys. then what do girls like? while I was thinking Shifu came in with a folder and a stuffed dog. he handed the toy to Tiffany, whom calmed down and joined the boys for pizza. he then handed me the folder. "are these Donatello's notes?"
    "yes. good job calming the boys down."
    "thank you. how did you know the stuffed animal would work for Tiffany?"
    "her grandfather gave it to her. she was bound to recognize it. besides, I did raise a girl before."
    we sat on the couch to look at his notes. looking over them, we found out that we couldn't understand it. there were just so many formulas. I went to Donatello and asked him, "Donatello, is there anyway to fix this? think really hard."
    ".....some tape?" he pointed to the tare in the paper.
    "no. I mean, how do we get you back to normal?"
    "I thought you said we were born like this."
    "you were but-... never mind." I felt a tug on my robe again. and just like last time it was little Tiffany holding her cat Shiloh. the cat seemed uncomfortable but wasn't complaining. "yes, my young one?" she ran away into the hall. I went after her. she brought me to Donatello's room and pointed to his science kit. "what about it?" I notice she was not talking. that cartoon must have done more damage then I thought.
    "the word on the papers match the ones on the thingies. maybe you can find out the answer here." she said.
    "perhaps." I collected his kit and went back to the kitchen with Shifu. we were putting ingredients together when I could help but think, "I wish April was here. she knows much more about this then I."
    "I know. but we must keep searching for the answer. I refuse to raise anymore children. twice was hard enough. dealing with 5 children is impossible... what about this? it says here that brand things like whole wheat doughnuts can pull people from sugar buzzes. what if we gave the children wheat bread sandwiches?"
    "they will not eat any of it. they are full from the pizza."
    "I don't know about that. you know how much they can eat. even Po never ate that much!"
    "we... could try it." I went and made 5 sandwiches on wheat bread, all with jelly. I walked into the main room with 3 plates and Shifu had two. we each gave a child one. "enjoy."
    "no thank you." Leonardo said. "I'm already stuffed."
    "my tummy hurts." Michelangelo said.
    "please try it, my son." I plead.
    "wake up." Shifu said while gently shaking Raphael.
    "maybe we should let them sleep. I do not see the harm in them taking a nap before the sandwiches. we will have to save them." I sat on the couch with my head in my paws. I began to think of the possibility of our plan not working. I was beginning to assume the worst when I felt something on my tail. I looked down and seen the little girl with her head a on pillow, wrapped in a blanket, holding her stuffed dog, and playing with my tail. she was only examining it.
    I looked up and seen my friend had brought out pillows and blankets. "even as a child, she still shines to you."
    "yes. I do not understand either."
    "you may have some time to think about it. because you cant go anywhere."
    I looked down and noticed she was fast asleep with her arms around my tail and her dog. "at least we can figure out other solutions."
    "it'll be fine. if this doesn't work, we will have to go through his notes."
    "alright."
    "I understand these are your children and that you care very much about them. as do I. things will be just fine."
    it was hours later when I was awaken by a young turtle nudging my arm gently. "Daddy." he whispered. my eyes focused to see it was Raphael. "you still have those sandwiches?" my ears perked up.
    "yes. are you hungry?" he nodded. "then I will get you one." I walked only a few steps before I realized the little girl still had my tail. Tiffany was still sleeping and using my tail as some plush toy. I slowly slid my tail from her grip and left for the kitchen. I set Raphael in a chair at the table and handed him one of the jelly sandwiches. I sat in the chair in front of him. he ate it but nothing happened. when he was done he left for the others. I was in the chair still, I felt horrible. it did not work. my friend walked in, "it did not work."
    "it didn't? what do you want to do?"
    "I do not know... we should have another look at his notes."
Shifu's pov
    we sat at the table for hours trying to merely understand his notes. I couldn't help but curse under my breath when I had to read the same formula again. I couldn't believe how this happened. I was discussing with Splinter the possibility of another solution when it went black and I heard screams. we ran to the children in panic, hoping they were fine. everything was off. "are you alright, children?" Splinter asked.
    "its dark." Mikey said.
    "what happened to the lights?" Raph asked.
    "it seems we have a power failure." Splinter said.
    "how?" I asked. "the lines are not being worked on, even if they were, they wouldn't at this hour. there's not even a cloud in the sky."
    "what are you suggesting?"
    "maybe its unnatural."
    "as if someone cut the lines?"
    "yes..."
    "we need to hide the children. now." we gathered the children and reached Tiffany's safe spot. her safe spot was through her bedroom closet, in the back of it was a door that led to an attic. in that attic had all of her bug out gear. we had flashlights on and the children were making shadow puppets. "shhhh. we must be quite." they all went quite. Tiffany crawled up to me. I flinched when I heard glass shatter down stairs. it felt like the night Junjie took me away from Tiffany. I held her tightly against me and tried to slow down my breathing. doors were being opened and Tiffany's was next. I think I was crushing Tiffany now. "we have to hid them better." Splinter whispered to me. I didn't want to let her go because I truly didn't want to be torn away from her again. but, we took the kids to a crate full of cans. the hid behind it. I was going to go with Splinter to the door and get ready to fight but I felt a tug on my arm.
    I looked and it was Tiffany who was about to cry. "don't go, Fu-Fi."
    I felt a tug on my heart. "I need to."
    I walked away and heard her, "no."
    we stood in front of the door while it shook. bang bang BANG!!! it was popped open and there stood a fox in blue at my height. damn it....
    "where is she!?!?" he demanded. the light shined behind him making him a shadow.
    "...who?" I asked.
    "you know who. that brat that destroyed my base, my army, and me!"
    "she is out." he looked around then at me. I knew what he was doing. I tried to keep my eyes on him. the crates raddled. he began to glide over to them. Splinter got in front of him in a fighting position.
    "why did you choose now to come?" he asked.
    "because I am back to health and ready for domination of the human."
    "don't you usually have some complicated plan?" I asked him.
    "not this time. I just want her gone."
    "and how ya gonna do that?" we heard a Brooklyn voice say. we turned to the crates and seen the turtles. they were back to normal! Raph drew out his sais. "no one is touchin' our girl."
    "get out." Leo growled.
    "giant turtles?!? what are you feeding them???" Junjie asked.
    "either you get out,"
    "or we're tossing you out." Donnie finished.
    "that means no wild preserve for you." Mikey grinned.
    "only a long splat waiting you below." a female voice said. standing on the crates was
Tiffany. she had long hair to her waist in a ponytail, army pants, black tank top, black steel toe boots, and green arm warmers to her elbows to match her pants. the light shined off of her dog tags. "I thought you learned your lesson the first time."
    "your out numbered now." I told him.
    "but you proved odds don't matter. your forgetting, I murdered the greatest warriors of china! how hard should it be to fight all of you?" Junjie asked.
    "you let your pride blind you. if you would accept this fight is over already then you could avoid pain." Splinter said.
    "I traveled for hours to be here, im not going until I fight."
    "very well then." I got in a fight position. "you will fight me."
    "master,"
    I cut Tiffany off. "i wont let you hurt her."
    "alright. if you see its best..."
Tiffany's pov
    everything was quite. I walked up to Splinter and asked, "are we really letting him do this?"
    "to solve his inner turmoil, he must do this."
    Shifu lunged at Junjie. the battle traveled. soon, he had him down. Shifu was on top of Junjie in the middle of my room. Junjie raised his hands and was bringing them together. "shield your eyes!" Shifu shouted. he got out of the way while we covered our eyes. through my eyelids, I seen red light. I opened them to see my window shattered. Shifu threw him out of the window. he jumped next. i ran out to see there shadows on the ground. they were on the roof. I climbed out of the window. I had to balance myself on the roof as I climbed up. Junjie had Shifu on the roof on his back and was about to deliver a blow. I ran and pushed him. we rolled. I caught myself on a window while Junjie was running for Shifu. I got back up. I ran after him. Shifu ran to me. I cupped my hands and Shifu jumped from it. he power kicked the fox. the fox disappeared from sight. Shifu stumbled to me. "are you okay?" I asked. "are you hurt?"
    "no, I'm fine." he said. a loud hit of thunder struck with lightning. rain poured down.
    "how do we get down?" I laughed.
    "carefully."
    we heard a shout and I was pushed from the side. I got up and looked around. Shifu was gone. I heard him somewhere. I got up and looked around. he was handing on the edge of the roof with Junjie holding his tail. "grab on!" I reached for him. he reached. but then slipped. "NNNOOOOOOO!!!!!" I heard a crash at the bottom. "Shifu....Shifu!!!!" he didn't answer. I began shaking from the cold and fear.
    "what is it, my dear?"
    I looked and seen him. his robe was torn. it exposed half of his chest and his arm. "your okay!"
    "Junjie is not. I used him to break my fall then he limped away." Shifu laughed.
    "should we-"
    "no. I'm sure he'll stay away. after seeing the turtles, he knows he is out matched. question is... for how long?"
    "long enough for Mikey to hit puberty again?"
    "hey!" Mikey whined. "I cant help it. your only a kid twice!"
    every groaned at the attempt at a joke.

Description

Splinter pov
I was in the main room watching the television when I overheard my students in the kitchen talking. "dude, what about this one?" I heard Mikey say.
"sure and this one too." I heard Tiffany say.
"too much!"
"nonsense, we need to taste it."
"but its gonna knock out the punch from it."
"we'll add some grape, no one can tell the difference. hand me some root beer."
I had to see what they were up to. I went in the kitchen and seen Tiffany and Michelangelo mixing difference drinks in to a bowl. "I wonder what will happen if we add a Mentos..."
Tiffany scoffed, "it'll blow the place up." she noticed me in the door way. "hi."
"hello. what are you doing?" I asked.
"we're just mixing drinks. we're looking for some new flavor."
"we got pop, kool aid, energy drinks. we're going to mix it then try it." my son said while pouring more soda into the bowl. I walked away and passed Donatello's room. he was mixing things too.
"my, are all my students mixing things today?" I asked him.
"what? oh no. I brought this science kit and I'm just trying out a formula I was working on with the ninja tribunal. its going to increase strength. I figure we could use it in fights as a last resort."
"my son, true strength is not there if it is false. it must be apart of you."
"it will, its easy to digest."
"that is not what I meant."
Shifu pov
     I walked in the kitchen and sat at the table. Michelangelo was alone and mixing things in a bowl. I wasn't even going to ask. sipping me tea, I heard foot steps in the hall. Donatello and Splinter walked in. the turtle was holding a silver can. I heard them talking. "this needs to be refrigerated. if its not cool, it can overheat." the turtle said while putting it in the fridge.
    "how do you know it will work, my son?" Splinter asked.
    "I don't yet. I need to test it. when I test it, I can determine if there is something to work on or not. but I need someone to try it..."
    "perhaps you could ask someone."
    "well, first it needs to cool."
    they walked out and I went after them. "don't you think you should label it?!?"
Tiffany pov
    I walked back into the kitchen with another bottle of pop. Mikey was still mixing. "hey, Mikey, anymore drinks? I have more root beer but I think it could be over powering."
    "let me see." he opened the fridge and came back. "look what I found."
    I read it. "Energy? I don't think this is a drink."
    he popped it open. "smells fruity."
    "I don't think we should use it. damn it, I left the mixer in the attic." I ran out of the room to get it.
Splinter pov
    we were all now at the dinner table having lunch together speaking about our day. "I think Don might wanna fix the dojo. me and Leo had a sparing session and it was a good one." my son, Raphael, smirked. Mikey came over with a jug of purple liquid. "whats that?"
    "its a drink. me and Tiffany went a little nuts with mixing today. you guys have to try it!" he began to pour their creation into glasses. I was personally afraid to try it. Shifu and myself decided to pass because we had our tea. each of them took sips.
    "hey, this is good!" Leonardo exclaimed.
    "yeah, whats in it?" Donatello asked.
    "well, lets see." Mikey thought for a moment. "pepsi, root beer, kool aids, that can thingy, some sugar-"
    "what can thing?!?"
    "I don't know. it said energy."
    "that wasn't a drink! that was an experiment I've been working on!"
    "what? you used it?" Tiffany asked in anger. "whats going to happen, Donnie?"
    "we might experience high amount of energy,. but, it is untested so who knows what could really happen."
    "nothing happened so far. maybe we'll be okay." Raph suggested.
    "I guess..."
    we continued with our meal. I kept a close eye on my students. nothing was happening. "how in the world did you guys break it to begin with?" Donatello asked.
    "I threw Leo into it." Raph told him. "what can I say, sometimes I forget how strong I am... what the?!?" his voice was cracking.
    "are you o-kay? oh no!" Tiffany held her neck. "my voice is cracking too!"
    "whats happening, Don?" Leonardo asked.
    "it seems it has more effects then we presumed." I told him.
    "there shrinking!" Shifu gasped.
    they were getting smaller and smaller. I could no longer see them. I stood up and seen four little turtles and a little girl with long black hair at the age of 3 to 5 in the chairs my students were. Leonardo looked around. "Splinter, why are you tho big?" he asked. his voice was light and childish.
    "hey, Shifu looks bigger too." Donatello noted. "in fact, everything looks bigger."
    Tiffany looked down. she then screamed. 'they didn't get bigger. we got smaller! I told you not to add it, you dummyhead."
    "I'm not a dummyhead, you cootie stasher!" Mikey retorted.
    "duty head!"
    "snot muncher!"
    "toad boy!"
    "goth girl!"
    "ribbit!"
    "grave licker!"
    "ribbit RIBBIT RIBBIT!!!!"
    "stop that and focus!" Leonardo shouted. "we're tiny!!!"
    "like...child size?" Mikey asked.
    "oh no! I don't want to be a kid!" Raph said.
    "me either, my childhood sucked!" Tiffany complained. all of a sudden, all the children started to cry.
    "it- its okay." Shifu tried to calm them down.
    "don't cry, Children. everything is going to be fine." I cooed. I went over and held them. they ceased their tears but they were hiccupping and sniffling. I poured out the glasses and got them new glasses of water. Shifu and I passed them out.
    "what happened?" Shifu asked.
    "it seems Donatello's serum reversed their age."
    "okay, how do we fix it?"
    "I do not know."
    "what do we do with them?"
    "we should keep an eye on them and change Tiffany's clothing." when they got younger, their clothing did not. so my turtles' gear were hanging off of them and Tiffany was only in a sweater too big for her. I picked her up and carried her to her room. I looked around for anything in her size. I sighed in relief when I found a bear her size. the bear was in a black overall dress that went to the knee with a purple undershirt. it had matching black dress shoes. I also took off the diaper like underwear. thank goodness she makes toys. I undressed the bear and handed her the outfit. "change into this. okay?" she nodded. "when you are done, come to the main room." she nodded again. I closed the door behind me and walked into the main room. the shifu sized turtles were running around the room.
    shifu ran up to me. "I got them to calm down but now I cant get them to sit down."
    "they seem to very energetic."
    Raphael was chasing Leonardo around and when he ran past me, I picked up Leonardo. he stopped moving his feet then started to squirm. "no no no no no!!!!" he was moving franticly. I held him close.
    "I forgot, you were afraid of heights as a child." I put him down. "Shifu, if you wish to cease any child, you can simply do this." I picked up the remote and turned the channel to a cartoon show. I felt a tug on my robe. when I looked down, I seen a little in the clothing I provided her. she seems to have brushed out her black, wavy hair that reached her shoulders. she held a purple ribbon in her hand. I took it.
    "I cant tie bows like my mummy can. can you help me?" she asked.
    "of course, my dear." I tied the bow on top of her head. I was not used to babysitting little girls but if this was the most it was needed then it shouldn't be too hard. she thanked me and ran over to the turtles in front of the television. a show came on called 'happy tree friends.' it sounded innocent enough. it had many colorful animals in the intro. it began with two animals making lemonade. I was called into the kitchen by my friend Shifu.
    "we have to reverse it!"
    "yes. I think we should begin by looking to see if Donatello made an antidote. we should look through his notes. maybe they could provide an answer." no sooner did I suggest that, we heard screams from the main room. we ran in to see the children screaming and crying. I looked to the television and seen the animals in a bloody mess. I quickly turned it off.
    "what were they watching?!?" Shifu asked while holding the crying Michelangelo.
    "happy tree friends. Tiffany watches it all the time. I thought it was child friendly."
    "you think Tiffany watches child friendly programs?!?"
    "lets try to calm them down." Raphael and Donatello were hugging each other crying while Leonardo was sniffling. Michelangelo was hiding under the chair and Tiffany was rocking back and forth with her head in her hands sobbing. "I think I know how to take care of this." I turned the television back on but changed the channel to Disney junior. Leonardo was watching. I went to the kitchen and heated up the left over pizza. I placed it down in front of them. this caught the turtles attention. they were eating while Tiffany was still rocking back and forth. I had to think for a moment. girls must be not comforted by food as much a boys. then what do girls like? while I was thinking Shifu came in with a folder and a stuffed dog. he handed the toy to Tiffany, whom calmed down and joined the boys for pizza. he then handed me the folder. "are these Donatello's notes?"
    "yes. good job calming the boys down."
    "thank you. how did you know the stuffed animal would work for Tiffany?"
    "her grandfather gave it to her. she was bound to recognize it. besides, I did raise a girl before."
    we sat on the couch to look at his notes. looking over them, we found out that we couldn't understand it. there were just so many formulas. I went to Donatello and asked him, "Donatello, is there anyway to fix this? think really hard."
    ".....some tape?" he pointed to the tare in the paper.
    "no. I mean, how do we get you back to normal?"
    "I thought you said we were born like this."
    "you were but-... never mind." I felt a tug on my robe again. and just like last time it was little Tiffany holding her cat Shiloh. the cat seemed uncomfortable but wasn't complaining. "yes, my young one?" she ran away into the hall. I went after her. she brought me to Donatello's room and pointed to his science kit. "what about it?" I notice she was not talking. that cartoon must have done more damage then I thought.
    "the word on the papers match the ones on the thingies. maybe you can find out the answer here." she said.
    "perhaps." I collected his kit and went back to the kitchen with Shifu. we were putting ingredients together when I could help but think, "I wish April was here. she knows much more about this then I."
    "I know. but we must keep searching for the answer. I refuse to raise anymore children. twice was hard enough. dealing with 5 children is impossible... what about this? it says here that brand things like whole wheat doughnuts can pull people from sugar buzzes. what if we gave the children wheat bread sandwiches?"
    "they will not eat any of it. they are full from the pizza."
    "I don't know about that. you know how much they can eat. even Po never ate that much!"
    "we... could try it." I went and made 5 sandwiches on wheat bread, all with jelly. I walked into the main room with 3 plates and Shifu had two. we each gave a child one. "enjoy."
    "no thank you." Leonardo said. "I'm already stuffed."
    "my tummy hurts." Michelangelo said.
    "please try it, my son." I plead.
    "wake up." Shifu said while gently shaking Raphael.
    "maybe we should let them sleep. I do not see the harm in them taking a nap before the sandwiches. we will have to save them." I sat on the couch with my head in my paws. I began to think of the possibility of our plan not working. I was beginning to assume the worst when I felt something on my tail. I looked down and seen the little girl with her head a on pillow, wrapped in a blanket, holding her stuffed dog, and playing with my tail. she was only examining it.
    I looked up and seen my friend had brought out pillows and blankets. "even as a child, she still shines to you."
    "yes. I do not understand either."
    "you may have some time to think about it. because you cant go anywhere."
    I looked down and noticed she was fast asleep with her arms around my tail and her dog. "at least we can figure out other solutions."
    "it'll be fine. if this doesn't work, we will have to go through his notes."
    "alright."
    "I understand these are your children and that you care very much about them. as do I. things will be just fine."
    it was hours later when I was awaken by a young turtle nudging my arm gently. "Daddy." he whispered. my eyes focused to see it was Raphael. "you still have those sandwiches?" my ears perked up.
    "yes. are you hungry?" he nodded. "then I will get you one." I walked only a few steps before I realized the little girl still had my tail. Tiffany was still sleeping and using my tail as some plush toy. I slowly slid my tail from her grip and left for the kitchen. I set Raphael in a chair at the table and handed him one of the jelly sandwiches. I sat in the chair in front of him. he ate it but nothing happened. when he was done he left for the others. I was in the chair still, I felt horrible. it did not work. my friend walked in, "it did not work."
    "it didn't? what do you want to do?"
    "I do not know... we should have another look at his notes."
Shifu's pov
    we sat at the table for hours trying to merely understand his notes. I couldn't help but curse under my breath when I had to read the same formula again. I couldn't believe how this happened. I was discussing with Splinter the possibility of another solution when it went black and I heard screams. we ran to the children in panic, hoping they were fine. everything was off. "are you alright, children?" Splinter asked.
    "its dark." Mikey said.
    "what happened to the lights?" Raph asked.
    "it seems we have a power failure." Splinter said.
    "how?" I asked. "the lines are not being worked on, even if they were, they wouldn't at this hour. there's not even a cloud in the sky."
    "what are you suggesting?"
    "maybe its unnatural."
    "as if someone cut the lines?"
    "yes..."
    "we need to hide the children. now." we gathered the children and reached Tiffany's safe spot. her safe spot was through her bedroom closet, in the back of it was a door that led to an attic. in that attic had all of her bug out gear. we had flashlights on and the children were making shadow puppets. "shhhh. we must be quite." they all went quite. Tiffany crawled up to me. I flinched when I heard glass shatter down stairs. it felt like the night Junjie took me away from Tiffany. I held her tightly against me and tried to slow down my breathing. doors were being opened and Tiffany's was next. I think I was crushing Tiffany now. "we have to hid them better." Splinter whispered to me. I didn't want to let her go because I truly didn't want to be torn away from her again. but, we took the kids to a crate full of cans. the hid behind it. I was going to go with Splinter to the door and get ready to fight but I felt a tug on my arm.
    I looked and it was Tiffany who was about to cry. "don't go, Fu-Fi."
    I felt a tug on my heart. "I need to."
    I walked away and heard her, "no."
    we stood in front of the door while it shook. bang bang BANG!!! it was popped open and there stood a fox in blue at my height. damn it....
    "where is she!?!?" he demanded. the light shined behind him making him a shadow.
    "...who?" I asked.
    "you know who. that brat that destroyed my base, my army, and me!"
    "she is out." he looked around then at me. I knew what he was doing. I tried to keep my eyes on him. the crates raddled. he began to glide over to them. Splinter got in front of him in a fighting position.
    "why did you choose now to come?" he asked.
    "because I am back to health and ready for domination of the human."
    "don't you usually have some complicated plan?" I asked him.
    "not this time. I just want her gone."
    "and how ya gonna do that?" we heard a Brooklyn voice say. we turned to the crates and seen the turtles. they were back to normal! Raph drew out his sais. "no one is touchin' our girl."
    "get out." Leo growled.
    "giant turtles?!? what are you feeding them???" Junjie asked.
    "either you get out,"
    "or we're tossing you out." Donnie finished.
    "that means no wild preserve for you." Mikey grinned.
    "only a long splat waiting you below." a female voice said. standing on the crates was
Tiffany. she had long hair to her waist in a ponytail, army pants, black tank top, black steel toe boots, and green arm warmers to her elbows to match her pants. the light shined off of her dog tags. "I thought you learned your lesson the first time."
    "your out numbered now." I told him.
    "but you proved odds don't matter. your forgetting, I murdered the greatest warriors of china! how hard should it be to fight all of you?" Junjie asked.
    "you let your pride blind you. if you would accept this fight is over already then you could avoid pain." Splinter said.
    "I traveled for hours to be here, im not going until I fight."
    "very well then." I got in a fight position. "you will fight me."
    "master,"
    I cut Tiffany off. "i wont let you hurt her."
    "alright. if you see its best..."
Tiffany's pov
    everything was quite. I walked up to Splinter and asked, "are we really letting him do this?"
    "to solve his inner turmoil, he must do this."
    Shifu lunged at Junjie. the battle traveled. soon, he had him down. Shifu was on top of Junjie in the middle of my room. Junjie raised his hands and was bringing them together. "shield your eyes!" Shifu shouted. he got out of the way while we covered our eyes. through my eyelids, I seen red light. I opened them to see my window shattered. Shifu threw him out of the window. he jumped next. i ran out to see there shadows on the ground. they were on the roof. I climbed out of the window. I had to balance myself on the roof as I climbed up. Junjie had Shifu on the roof on his back and was about to deliver a blow. I ran and pushed him. we rolled. I caught myself on a window while Junjie was running for Shifu. I got back up. I ran after him. Shifu ran to me. I cupped my hands and Shifu jumped from it. he power kicked the fox. the fox disappeared from sight. Shifu stumbled to me. "are you okay?" I asked. "are you hurt?"
    "no, I'm fine." he said. a loud hit of thunder struck with lightning. rain poured down.
    "how do we get down?" I laughed.
    "carefully."
    we heard a shout and I was pushed from the side. I got up and looked around. Shifu was gone. I heard him somewhere. I got up and looked around. he was handing on the edge of the roof with Junjie holding his tail. "grab on!" I reached for him. he reached. but then slipped. "NNNOOOOOOO!!!!!" I heard a crash at the bottom. "Shifu....Shifu!!!!" he didn't answer. I began shaking from the cold and fear.
    "what is it, my dear?"
    I looked and seen him. his robe was torn. it exposed half of his chest and his arm. "your okay!"
    "Junjie is not. I used him to break my fall then he limped away." Shifu laughed.
    "should we-"
    "no. I'm sure he'll stay away. after seeing the turtles, he knows he is out matched. question is... for how long?"
    "long enough for Mikey to hit puberty again?"
    "hey!" Mikey whined. "I cant help it. your only a kid twice!"
    every groaned at the attempt at a joke.
