«Cody, may I ask you a question?» Asked Michelangelo, who was at table.

«Of course!» Allowed young Mr. Jones.

«Who do you like best of us?»

When unexpected question was asked, boy, who ate at the time, coughed. Raphael, who sat knee by knee, knocked on his back that the kid had not chocked with salad. When Cody chewed well and swallowed food, he looked skew at Mikey.

«What?»

«Well, you are kind of our number one fan. So I want to know who of us you most admire. Who?»

«Umm…» Cody was lost in thought, scratching one's head. «I admire each of you equally.»

«And who do you like most?» Ninja on an orange mask drew closer, propping head with hand. The remaining turtles made him interested look, they were curious to know what Cody answers Mikey's question. The boy laughed nervously under pressure.

«I must be operated» said teen, leaving the table. But he was called upon to sit again, when Raphael and Michelangelo lay hands on his shoulders.

«Raph?»

«I'm just wondering, kid»

«Leo, Don…» Jones sought help.

«You will better answer, Code. Those two don't get off your back.» smiled Donatello.

«I have told you, guys! I admire each of you equally! I have respect Don for genius, Leo for heroism, Raph for courage and Mikey for fast and furious optimism. I don't know how choose out you!»

«Come on! You know full well! The whole time you read April and Casey's Journal. It's dollars to doughnuts, you have a favorite turtle. Answer us! I don't think there's anything wrong with that. The equilibrium of space and time will not be disturbed. And Raph will not hit the roof, if you don't say his name.»

Master of sais gave Mikey a thick ear. Master of nunchaku scratched one's head and asked Cody again «Who is number one turtle for you?»

The boy stood over turtles, who's eyes were fixed on him. Leonardo saw the air If you answer this question, more power to you. Cody drew a breath in out and, finally, said «Michelangelo.»

«YAHOO!» exclaimed Mikey, jumping back somersault. Barrel of laughs danced on table board.

«Damn, he will go on for hours!» growled Raphael.

«You are angry, because I am number one for Cody!»

Ninja in red mask snorted, stretched his arms and attack his brother. Donatello began to make an attempt to finish the fight. Cody took occasion and retired from dining room. He ran into with someone on way to lab. It was Leonardo.

«Who is in fact? Lay it on the line!»

«Leo, I have told, each of you are respected by me. Equally. Really!»

Leader flashed a smile at kid and rumpled his hair.

«I awaiting you in training.» Turtle made way for boy and destined for dining room where he had helped Donnie unhook Raph from Mikey.
