"THE BATTLE NEXUS CHAMPIONSHIP IS TOMORROW!?!" Rose shouted at the top of her fourteen year old lungs, eyes a dangerous red/purple.

Violet, eyes a calm purple/red, stood up to her full seventeen year old height, hands on the handles of the sai on her belt.

"Dad, we're ready for this…I'm seventeen, for kami's sake! YOU went when you were fifteen!"

Cat came to her husband's defense at this point.

"You couldn't go at fifteen because the last championship had been when you were fourteen, and NONE of you were ready!"

Joss gave her aunt a hurt expression, looking passive aggressive herself.

"Just like her old man." Raph would joke.

Jackie was playing a Gameboy, not really paying attention.

At twelve, she'd shown great skill with ninja swords, but she didn't fight unless provoked.

Jazz watched the exchange between adult and child silently, her brain wrapped around why they hadn't been informed on the Battle Nexus Championship.

Ben and Theo had started this little discussion when they said that, since they were Mikey's children, that they were bound to be the next generation's champions…

You can probably already tell how THAT started the fire…

Jazz stepped forward, timidly looking between them.

"I-I know y-you're worried a-about our w-well-being, but w-we'll be f-fine…we l-lived through th-that ghost n-nine years a-ago…and th-the Foot l-last year…n-not to m-mention the g-gangs…I'm s-sure we'll b-be fine…"

None of them had the heart to contradict the shy prodigy of a sixteen year old, and her innocent face and timid smile made their resolve crack.

It's not like Jazz was ever wrong about these things…

"Okay…you guys can compete…but Jackie is still too young!"

Jackie looked up at her mother at the mention of her name, looking confused.

"What? Did I miss something?"

Anime sweat drops all around!

(Sarcasm, thank you very much!)

Leo sighed, smacking his forehead.

"That reminds me of Mikey when he looks up from his games…"

Mikey, playing a PSP, looked up in confusion.

"What? Did I miss something?"

…

"…He's NOT my brother…" Cat muttered, eye twitching slightly in contained irritation.

"Then I won't have to hold my frustration in at the Battle Nexus…"

Mikey smiled sheepishly.

"Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, Kitty!"

Violet looked curious for a moment.

"Mom, why do they sometimes call you Kitty?"

"It's a childhood nickname. That's why they usually call me Cat…unless they're trying to weasel out of something…"

Mikey started inching away, but the white-banded turtle caught him by his orange mask tails.

"AW!!! HELP!!!"

Joss sighed.

"So…can we really go? I've wanted to actually fight against someone on my level…"

Violet gave a mock-offended look at her best friend.

"…Well, someone else…"

"THANK you…"

Ben and Theo were looking at a comic book.

"Well, you're ALL going down!! WE'RE the new Battle Nexus Champions of the 22nd century!"

"…Ben…Theo…"

They looked up at a glaring Rose.

"…Yer both going down!!"
