Soul mate

(because Mikey needs some lovin')

.

Rummaging through old boxes, he looked at the contents. There was so much junk!

Laughing to himself he tried to keep on task. Each object brought up more memories.

Opening a new box, Mikey chuckled. It was the box he had put all of his old keep sakes from when he was a kid.

There was the old bear his Master had gotten him. The ears were nearly gone, being that Mikey would swing the bear by the poor ears. The fur was matted and worn almost completely off, the bears eyes falling out of the sockets.

Rubbing his hand across the bears face, Mikey set it to the side, diving back into the box.

Old training weapons, story books, action figures that were not dolls, and other various toys. He had saved them all for their memories, and now he was quite thankful for that.

Tipping the box upside down Mikey was about to through it when a picture floated down from the box. Looking at it as if for the first time, Mikey let his mind follow the old memory.

.

He was eight years old, and was in the sewers training with Raphael. They had been told to work on their speed and stealth, but in return were really just goofing around having fun.

It was rare for them to be allowed out of the lair, so when the chance arouse they didn't take it for granted.

" yo! come on Mikey! There's a cool tunnel up ahead, I wanna show ya! " Raph called over his shoulder, he was farther up ahead then Mikey was.

"I'm coming, I'm coming! geez don't get your panties in a bunch Raphie!" Mikey called back. He was day dreaming as he ran so he was a little slower then usual.

Coming around a corner, Mikey noticed something stuck in the sewer grate. It was a what looked like a piece of paper flapping in the sewer draft.

Coming to it, Mikey tried to reach it. No good, he was just to short. Taking a slight run Mikey bounded towards the paper only to miss it by inches.

He really wanted to know what it was!

Finally giving up on the jumping, Mikey went to plan B.

"RAPHIE!" He yelled.

Soon enough he heard his brother come around the corner, a worried look in his eyes.

"waz wrong? why'd ya yell?" Raph asked, still panting from the run.

" Can you give me a boost? I wanna get that paper..." Mikey asked, his eyes shining.

Raph scowled, only then to huff and put his hands out to help Mikey up.

"ya get it?" Raph said, grunting from Mikey's weight.

"Ngh...go-got,...got it!" Mikey cheered. Jumping down he held up the paper.

Raph joined his side looking at it.

"a photo, ya made me lift yo heavy shell, for a picture? Ugh, come on Mikey, lets go home" Raph said shaking is head as he walked towards home.

Mikey looked at the picture. It was a photo of a young girl. Her short brown hair framed her face, her bright baby blue eyes shined brightly, and her smile was mesmerising.

Mikey smiled at the photo, tucking it into his belt.

"Raphie, wait up!"

.

Mikey stared at the photo then put it on the table behind him. Starting to go through another box he heard a voice.

"where did you get this?" She asked, her voice strong yet loving.

"get what Morgan?" Mikey asked as he stood to go to his wife.

Morgan lifted the photo.

"oh I found it when I was little, just never thru it away I guess,...why?" Mikey asked, wrapping his arms around her.

"this...Mikey this is my photo, I lost it when I was seven." Morgan said softly, looking up at Mikey, a warm smile playing across her lips.
