Secret of The Amelia Craft Store

Twelve year old Chloe Calls and the turtles were putting some items in the Zippy Shellmobile which was stored in the garage. Suzuki Murakawa and Wanda Prokowski had invited them to their dojo so they could celebrate the turtles' 20th birthday.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing Suzuki and Wanda," Leo said.

"I can't wait to celebrate our birthday," Mikey said.

"It was nice of them to invite us down to their dojo so they could celebrate with us," Donny said.

"True," Raph said.

Eventually, they were set to go. Donny set the coordinates and the Zippy Shellmobile took off.


Chloe and the turtles arrived at the Murakawa/Prokowski dojo a couple hours later. The noticed that next door was a store called The Amelia Craft Store.

"I wonder who Amelia is," Leo said.

"Suzuki and Wanda never mentioned her in their e-mails," Donny said.

"We have some time to stop in," Chloe said.

"Then let's go," Mikey said.

"Maybe we'll get to meet Amelia," Raph said.

The turtles and Chloe got out of the Zippy Shellmobile and entered The Amelia Craft Store. They headed straight for the check out counter.

Two women were at the checkout counter. Their names were Alana and Chris. Alana had shoulder length brown hair, brown eyes, and was wearing a purple sundress with white sandals. Chris had shoulder length light blond hair, pacific blue eyes, and was wearing a pink sundress with white sandals.

"How can we help you?" Alana asked.

"We were wondering if Amelia was working today," Chloe said.

"No one named Amelia works here," Chris said.

"Thanks anyway," Chloe said politely and then she and the turtles left the store.


A little later, Chloe and the turtles were hanging out with Suzuki and Wanda in their apartment above their dojo. They were having rice crackers, roasted seaweed, and sharing a pitcher of iced green tea.

"We saw The Amelia Craft Store next door," Mikey said.

"Someone named Chris mentioned that no one named Amelia works there," Donny said.

"That is true," Suzuki confirmed. "The store was named in memory of her."

"What happened?" Chloe inquired.

"She was killed in a car accident several years ago," Wanda said. "If it's not a problem, I can call a couple friends named Joe and Chuck and see if they can come over tomorrow."

"That would be fine," Leo said and his brothers and Chloe nodded in agreement.

"For now, let's celebrate our 20th birthday," Raph said.

Suzuki and Wanda headed for the kitchen. They came back with a chocolate cake with chocolate icing that said "Happy 20th Birthday" in white icing and set in on the table.

Chloe offered to get the plates and forks. Suzuki explained where they were while Wanda started cutting the cake.

"Want to call Joe and Chuck?" Suzuki asked Wanda.

"Good thinking," Wanda replied and headed for the bedroom that she and Suzuki shared.

"Joe and Chuck helped Wanda and I get our dojo started," Suzuki explained.

"Speaking of which, they agreed to come over around 8 tomorrow after the children go to school," Wanda said, coming out of the bedroom.

"Great," Raph said.

"Looking forward to meeting them," Leo said.

"Same here," Donny said.

"I just want cake for now," Mikey said.

Suzuki and Wanda cut the cake and handed out the pieces. Then they, along with Chloe and the turtles chatted for a while.


Later that night, the turtles were hanging out in the living room. Suzuki, Wanda, and Chloe were sleeping in Suzuki and Wanda's room.

"I wonder what Joe and Chuck will be like," Donny said.

"We'll find out tomorrow morning," Leo said.

"I just want to sleep," Mikey said.

"Same here," Donny said.

The turtles got the air mattress set up and got on it. They snuggled up together and eventually fell asleep.


The next morning, the turtles, Chloe, Suzuki, and Wanda were having scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast. Just then, there was a knock on the door and Suzuki excused herself and went to answer it.

She let in two men that had brown eyes and shoulder length hair. One man had brown hair and the other one had black hair.

"I'm Joe," the man with brown hair said.

"I'm Chuck," the man with black hair said.

"Nice to meet you," Chloe said and the turtles nodded in agreement.
