"Michelangelo!" Mikey jumped slightly and looked at Leo, Raph, and Don as they stared back at him. They were all taking a walk in the city. They were wearing their trench coats and hats to hide theirselves. Leo was saying something that Mikey didn't hear since he was thinking about something else. "Sorry dudes, w-what were we doing again. Leo scowled at Mikey. "You didn't hear a word I said?" He scolded. Raph humphed. "Of couse he's not." He said with a smirk. "Probably daydreamin' about superh'roes again."
"Are you ok, Mikey?" Don asked worriedly. Mikey nodded with a sad look. "I'm fine bros," He said. "It's just that...well...have you guys ever wondered what it would be like...if we, you know...had a mom?" That shut all of the turtles up. Leo looked wide-eyed, Raph was regreting what he just said, and Don was just lost in words.
"Well?" Mikey asked. Leo was rubbing the back of his neck nervously, being careful not to see his arm as his trench-coat sleeve dropped a little. "W-Well Mikey," Leo said. "you should realize that stuff like that shouldn't be acknowledged as much with a life like ours."
"Y-Yeah Mikey," Raph said nervously. "Bein' ninjas and all dat." "Besides," Don said. "We have Master Splinter as a father, don't we?" "Yeah we do, but I'm just saying." Mikey said. "We never met anyone who really was related to us. I would've loved to have met them even if they were just normal turtles."
"We would too Mikey, trust me." Leo said sadly. "But that kind of stuff is in the past, back when we were babies. We need to look ahead and-" "Hey Guys, Look!" The other three turtles looked at the direction where Mikey was pointing to see the Pet store, which was overcrowded with people. There was a sign in the front window that said '50% off sale'
"The Pet Store's having a sale on pets!" Mikey said with a sudden switch of mood. "Can I get one? Please?" Leo raised a brow. "Mikey, you already have Klunk." He said, even though he was glad to change the subject. Mikey put on his best puppy-dog look and said, "PWEASE!"
Leo looked at Raph, who shrugged and had a look that said 'Why not? If you don't, he might hold it for Lord knows how long?' Leo sighed and looked back at Mikey. "Ok." Leo said. Mikey smiled widely and ran to the Pet store at an incerdible speed. When he went into the P.S., he ran pass the parrots, the dogs, and hamsters, but stopped at the turtles.
He was going to run pass them, but Mikey saw one in perticular in the center of the that was familiar to him. It was an adult, female red-eared slider. She was a beautiful, light shade of green, like Don but a little darker. Her shell was a dark shade of brown, lighter than her eyes, which were staring up at Mikey.
She had a look of happiness as she swam over toward Mikey, who picked her up gently. Mikey looked at the turtle as she looked at him. Somehow, Mikey knew this turtle, he just can't put his finger on it. "Excuse me sir," said the casher, getting Mikey's attention. "Do you wish to purchase that one?"
Mikey smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I would." He said as he walked to the counter. "How much?" "only $4.00." Tha casher said. After paying, Mikey walked to the door as his brothers walked in. "You could've waited for us?" Raph asked. "Sorry." Mikey said rubbing the back of his neck.
The other turtles looked down at the female in his hand and gasped. Mikey looked down at the turtle too, then back at his brothers. "I guess you guys noticed it too, huh?" He said. "Bros, I think this is our Mom."
