16 years ago...

On a trip to New York City, young Jason held a mall bowl with a little female turtle inside. He said, "I can't wait to get you back to Angel Grove, Andrea." His mother smiled, and said to his dad, "Aren't you glad we got him something." He grunted and replied, "We could have gotten him a turtle in Angel Grove." Jason smiled and said, "Yeah but none of them are girls." A rock made him trip as the bowl slips out of his hands. It crashed and the turtle fell down a sewer main. Jason reached his hand in after his turtle but his arms were too short and he began crying.

"Oh no sweetie. We'll buy you another one later." His mother picked him up and comforted him. His father groaned. "Big boys don't cry." "Oh Sam, stop it, he is only five." "I don't want another turtle. I want Andrea!" "It's only a turtle." His father said calmly. "I WANT ANDREA!" He threw a small tantrum, for he wanted this turtle to be the little sister he never had.

"That's enough." His father said enraged. "We are going back to the motel room right this moment." Jason continued to reach for the turtle as it walked in some green slime. He would not give up on getting his little sister.

A passerby noticed this and said, "I can help ya get whatever it is ya lost." Jason's mother said, "He dropped his pet turtle. I fear it is unsanitary down there." The passerby looked down and saw the little turtle. He smiled and said, "That does not matter but I will give you something to hold her in until you get back." He reached inside the sewer and pulled the little turtle out with a small cloth. After he came up he held it for a minute and said, "You look like Mei Pei. Maybe the two of you are sisters." He then handed it back to the joyous Jason who cradled the little turtle.

Jason's mother smiled and thanked the stranger. The stranger bowed and said, "I must head back to the airport, I am going home to China." Jason too thanked him and waved as they left. The man said, "A shinobi must help those who are weak." "I will be like you some day, maybe not a Shinobi, but I will be like you." Jason said. The stranger pulled a small turtle from his pocket and smiled. "Maybe one day the two of you will meet again."
