"OW!!!!!!!!!! Why do I always have to fight Joss?! It hurts!!"

"Stop complaining, Ben. Maybe if you actually practiced, it wouldn't hurt so much."

"Face it, Joss. Ben's got ADHD."

"And you've got TBS, Rose!"

"…Which would be?"

"Tomboy Syndrome."

"…GET BACK HERE!!!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

"…So, Joss, how's the kata coming?"

"Great, Vi."

"THEO, SAVE ME!!!!"

"I'M COMING, BRO!!!!"

"Jazz, are you okay?"

"I-I'm fine, J-Jackie. Just th-thinking…"

This was a normal training session in the Hamato household.

It had been eight years since the 'Ghost Incident', but the children had grown.

Joss, now sixteenth, wore a light green bandana, the tails tied up almost like a ponytail. Her stature was like her mothers, with two katana strapped to her shell.

Jackie, now eleven, wore a very light-colored green bandana, though she wasn't allowed to carry weapons around yet.

Violet was like her mother, her light purple/white bandana tails braided. She even had sai, like her father, though everyone commented that, though she was a daddy's girl, she was more like her mother.

Rose, who had a dark red bandana over her eyes, was still only thirteen, but still carried around blades like her mother's.

Jazz wore a diamond pink bandana, and carried a Bo staff like her father, though it separated into three sections like her mother's naginata. She was a technology prodigy like her father, though she studied medicine, just in case.

Ben wore a light orange bandana and used nunchucks, much like his father, as Theo wore a grey/white bandana, using kunai, shuriken, and senbon.

Even at fourteen, they were still as prank-happy as ever…

Cat and the other adult turtles watched boredly, and Cat boredly cracked her knuckles.

"What's the plan?"

"…I'll grab Ben and Theo…you just make sure Rose doesn't chase them too soon…"

"Got it, Rach…"

So the two turtles worked to separate their children as the others watched, and the two boys ran out of the dojo, Rose following them ten seconds later.

"…Great training, don't ya think? At least those two know how to run from an enemy…"

Raph smirked.

"Just like their old man…"

"I'm not old!!! AND I don't run from an enemy!!!" Mikey defended.

"Raph, ya say one more thing like that ta Mikey an' I'll rip ya outta yer shell!!" Rach threatened.

"Okay, okay! SHEESH!"

"If you do, there'll be TWO shell-less turtles walking around!" Cat warned playfully.

"Mom?"

Gio, watching with an amused look on her face, turned to her second-born daughter.

"You said you'd help me train with the practice ninja swords…"

"Of course! Come on."

Three green blurs ran back into the dojo, two hiding behind Violet.

"SAVE US!!!!!!!!!" The two boys pleaded, giving her the Chibi Turtle Eyes.

"Vi, get out of the way so I can kill them!!"

"Not until you put your blades away!!"

"NEVER!!!!"

Violet sighed as she held her little sister from her cousins by the dark red bandana tails.

"HA!!!! You suck, Rose!!!!"

Violet glared.

"You don't talk to my sister like that!!!! Let's get 'em, Rose!!!"

"NOW yer talkin' my language!!!"

They both ran after the twins, and Cat smacked her forehead.

"Those boys make my life SO hard…"

"…Imagine bein' their mother…"

"…I feel for you, Rach…"

"Oh, come on! They're not THAT bad!"

"'Cause they're your little mini-clones, knucklehead!"

"…Don't be so harsh, Raph! I'm not THAT bad!"

"…Leo, care to intervene?"

"Why?"

"'Cause I'm about ta kill 'im…"

"RAPH!!!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

Both female turtles sighed as their husbands ran around, their children doing the same.

"…It's like having three kids…"

"Who says we even needed more than one?"

Rach nodded, and both moved to separate them as Elisa and Don looked up from the blueprint they'd been working on.

"…Fight?"

"Fight."

"Kitchen?"

"Kitchen."

Leo sighed, standing alone as he watched everything.

"…Well, might as well make sure nobody gets hurt…"
