Substitute Senseis

The seventeen year old turtles were practicing in the dojo. They stopped and formed a line when Splinter entered the room.

"My sons, I will be going on vacation for a week," Splinter announced. "I have invited two Senseis to fill in for me during that time."

"Why can't I just run the sessions?" Leo asked.

"You may but these two Senseis are very experienced in all forms of Martial Arts so all of you might learn some things from them," Splinter replied.

"Who are they?" Mikey asked.

Splinter signaled to whoever was outside of the dojo. Just then, two familiar women entered the dojo.

"Suzuki, Wanda, great to see you again," Donny said.

"Same here," Suzuki Murakawa said.

"Last time we saw you was on your birthday," Wanda Prokowski said.

"We're honored to have you here," Leo told Suzuki and Wanda.

"We are honored to be here," Suzuki said.

"Who's watching your dojo while you're here?" Raph asked with curiosity.

"A couple friends are filling in for us for the week," Wanda replied.

"After training, I will show you your room," Splinter told Suzuki and Wanda. "You may join us if you wish."

Suzuki and Wanda nodded in agreement. The pair ups were Suzuki vs. Leo, Wanda vs. Mikey, and Donny vs. Raph.

The three pairs started sparring. A few seconds later, Leo went flying into the wall and fell to the ground.

"That was impressive," Leo told Suzuki as she helped him stand up.

"Glad to hear that," Suzuki said.

"Sensei Murakawa, would you mind sparring against me?" Splinter asked.

"It would be an honor," Suzuki replied.

Splinter and Suzuki got into position and then started sparring. A few seconds later, Splinter landed against the wall and fell to the ground.

"I am very impressed with your skills, Sensei Murakawa," Splinter said while using his walking stick to help himself up.

Splinter ended the session half an hour later. Suzuki had defeated all of her opponents during the lesson including Wanda.

"Sensei Murakawa and Sensei Prokowski, please come with me," Splinter instructed. "I shall now show you where you will sleep."

Splinter left the dojo with Suzuki and Wanda. The turtles followed them out.


Ten year old Chloe Calls stopped by a couple hours later. She was glad but surprised when she saw Suzuki and Wanda.

"I didn't know you were coming," Chloe said to Suzuki and Wanda.

"Splinter asked us to come," Suzuki said.

"We're filling in for a week while Splinter goes on vacation," Wanda chimed in.

Chloe, Suzuki, and Wanda talked for a few minutes. Then Chloe excused herself and headed for the lab.


A little later, the turtles, Chloe, Suzuki, and Wanda were hanging out in the living room. Just then, Splinter entered the room carrying a suitcase.

"I shall be going now, my sons" Splinter announced, setting down his suitcase. "Remember to listen to Sensei Murakawa, Sensei Prokowski, and Miss Calls."

"We shall miss you, Master," Leo said, wrapping his arms around Splinter who returned the gesture. Then Raph, Donny, and Mikey joined in and they released each other a couple minutes later.

"They'll be in good hands," Chloe said as she and Splinter wrapped their arms around each other.

"I believe they will," Splinter agreed and then he and Chloe released each other.

"Everything will be fine," Suzuki said with confidence.

"All you need to do is enjoy your vacation," Wanda told Splinter.

Splinter nodded and picked up his suitcase. Then he left the lair.
