Today's our twenty first Mutation Day and you know what that means! No training, no patrol, but still no Taylor. Even though it's not the first Mutation Day that she's not here I was hoping she would be here for this one.
I got up to Mikey in the kitchen making a cake out of pizza. "Good morning, Mikey." I said as I sat down at the table waiting for my coffee to be ready. Mikey turned away from the mess on the counter and gave me a ginormous hug. "Happy Mutation Day dude! Twenty one can you believe it?" "Yeah..." My face fell a little, my thoughts turning back to Taylor. He must've noticed because he put a hand on my shoulder. "Look bro...I know you miss her. I get that. Even though I don't know when she'll come back, I know she will." I brightened up a little knowing he understood how I felt. Mikey gave me a small smile and when back to his cake. Not long after Donnie and Leo came into the kitchen and started celebrating with Mikey. I just kind of drank my coffee and watched them.
After dinner we ate Mikey's cake. I never would have thought someone could manage to make a cake that tastes exactly like pizza. Only he would be able to pull off something like that, and Don's supposed to be the scientific one. Who would have guessed? Not even Donnie had managed to come up with it, and he was the one that had made an ice-cream machine look like a serial killer. When we were all finished I got up and headed towards my room. I walked across the living area, but stopped when I heard a faint sound coming from the entrance to our home. Normally I would have ignored it but this didn't sound like the normal riff-raff that came from the sewer. It sounded like someone or something running, and it was coming straight towards the lair. I peered into the darkness trying to figure out where it was coming from, but I could barely see five feet in front of me. All of a sudden something big and furry tackles me to the ground, yelling my name. There is only one thought that is going through my mind: Taylor!
"Raph!" She yells as she gets up off of me and changes back into a human. Taylor hasn't really changed much in the six years she's been away. She's got the same hair; short, white, and slightly spiked, the same skinny figure, and the same clothes. She's gotten a little taller and her muscles are a bit more toned. I jump up off the ground and give her a deep, passionate kiss, letting all the emotions I've felt since she left run wild. "I love you." "Love you, too." She replied as I went for another hug. I buried my face into her shoulder and enjoyed the closeness of each other. "I missed you so much." She smiled and lifted my head to rest in her hand. "Did you get my gift?" I nodded and continued to gaze into those beautiful icy blue eyes. "Later, can we look at it together?" I asked looking into those eyes. She nodded and gave me another kiss, which I welcomed happily. By now the guys had heard the commotion and came over to welcome back Taylor. She hugged all three of my brothers the stood next to me sliding her hand into mine. "So you guys are twenty one now?" Mikey hopped up and down excitedly. "Yeah, we are!" He rattled off his words about a hundred miles a minute how awesome it was being twenty-one until he was interrupted by Leo. "Mikey, I think Taylor's tired from her journey. She should probably get her rest." Taylor nodded and let go of my hand, much to my disappointment. "Actually guys, I could really go for something to eat right now." Donnie's face light up. "We could finally try out my ice-cream maker! I know I would enjoy some right now." Taylor shrugged. "Sure, I'll go for it." Donnie did a mini celebration before running off to get the machine. I got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. "I'm not sure this is a good idea..." Leo put his arms around me and Taylor. "Come on, I'm sure it's not that bad. It just looks like something out of 1980's medieval horror movie that looks like it could send us all to our death..." He trailed off after seeing the death glare I was giving him. He really wasn't helping. At all. If anything he made it worse. Not like the kind of worse when you accidentally spill fruit punch on a rug that was already ugly to begin with. This is like if you tried to put out a fire with gasoline. W. O. R. S. E. Worse. Taylor must've sensed the uneasiness growing inside me because she re-gripped my hand and nudged my shoulder. "I don't think anything Donnie made could be," Her eyes widened when Donnie walked in with the machine. "That bad." The ice-cream maker made a rather loud noise as Don put it down on the table." He smiled widely. "So, who's first?" Everyone looked at each other before going over to where he was standing, no one answering his question. "Fine, I'll be the first to try it out, but you guys are going to be all over this once you see how well it works." He grabbed some stuff out of the fridge and put it into the top of the machine. Donnie plugged it in and hit the on switch. Nothing happened. He looked at us and gave an uneasy chuckle before banging on the maker. It buzzed to life and started shaking. "Uh, it's not supposed to do that." As he frantically tried to shut it off a purple laser blasted out of the machine and struck Taylor. A giant cloud of smoke filled the room as I desperately searched for her. Leo switched on the ceiling fan and the smoke quickly cleared. My heart dropped at what I saw. A pile of Taylor's clothes lay on the floor where she was standing, her not being in them. I probably would have cried right then and there if I was not extremely angry at Donnie. I turned towards my little brother and prepared to rip his shell off when Mikey grabbed my shoulders and turned me back towards the pile of clothes, which was moving slightly. Out of her blue shirt popped the cutest little leopard cub I've ever seen.
