Notes: This is a challange fic. My fic is 'What if the guys were not all turtles?" i do not know how long I'm going to make it. I'm going to start from the begining, and try to work my way from there.
Chapter 1
Four friends who lived close to each other in an apartment building, and knew each other since they were toddlers. Their names were Chet, David, Victor, and Tylor. Their mothers decided it was time for each of them to get their own pets, as long as the animal was small. Since there was a pet shop a block away, the four of them were allowed to go there unsupervised, as long as that is where they were going. After looking at all the neat pets at the pet store for several hours, they each picked their pet. Chet had picked a turtle, David got a chinchilla, Victor got a rabbit, and Tylor got a slamander.
"My turtle is the coolest."
"No, my chinchilla is."
"Both of yours are lame. Look at my salamander, it's doing tricks."
"Running around in circles is not considered a pet, Ty." Victor spoke smartness in his voice.
"Well, your rabbit's no better. It just sits there and wiggles his nose." Tylor replied.
"That's how he breaths, ding-dong."
"Well, I still think my salamander is the coolest."
While they were fighting and not watching the street, a large truck came barelling down. A man saw what was happening, and jumped to push the boys out of the way. When the boys were knocked out of the path of the truck, their pets flew out of their hands, and into an open manhole. The truck swerved to miss the man, broadsided a newspaper stand, and caused the contents of the truck to scatter all around on the ground. In all the chaos, nobody noticed a canister containing a green substance roll into the open manhole.
"Are you boys hurt?" A bystander asked as he looked over the boys.
"I think we're fine. But where are our pets?" David asked.
"Pets, what pets?" The bystander asked.
"We were holding pets before the man saved us from the truck." Chet replied, holding his head.
"I don't see any pets around here."
The boys looked around in a scared fashion, spying for their pets. When their pets were not seen, they saw the open manhole, ran towards it, and peered into the abyss called the sewers. Nothing could be seen.
"I'm going down to look." Tylor tried to speak with confidence, but his voice proved otherwise.
"No, son, it's to dangerous for kids to be down there. We'll go." A City Worker replied.
As the man went down, police and ambulances arrived on the scene to take care of what just happened. While they boys waited for news about their pets, EMT's checked them over, and police asked them for any information that they might hold. About forty minutes after the accident, the city worker who went down into the sewers, came back up with disappoitment on his face.
"I'm sorry boys, this is all I could find." He spoke with understanding in his voice as he held the four shattered containers.
As the guy who found the containers place them in front of the four boys, they strarted crying and yelling that what the man had said was not true. After the boys calmed down somewhat, they were sent home and their parents were told of what happened. Meanwhile, down in the sewers and a far distance from the accident, four pets met up with a rat. When the rat had found the four newly released pets, they were covered in a strangely glowing green goo. Trying to clean up his new friends, the rat was also covered in the same goo.
