Chapter 6

The next day was December 20th and David awoke and knew that he had to get started on his own list of miracles for the turtles. The first one was Mikey's wish of going to the Comic book convention. So David got out of bed and got a quick shower, then got dressed and came down stairs to find Donny and Mikey on the couch engaging in a battle of skill, playing the Play Station 3. David smiled and walked down the stairs and join them on the couch. Donny looked over to David and then back at Mikey.

"Hey David, watch this?" Donny smirked at Mikey. All of a sudden Donny's fighter froze Mikey's fighter and then walked over and tore Mikey's fighter's head off and threw it at the body causing it to shatter.

"Aww no fair I always win!" Mikey pouted. David smiled and patted him on his shell.

"Don't worry Mikey, I am sure it was just luck besides you will get him next time" David said.

"Yea, your right, it could have only been luck, I am the Battle Nexus Champion! And the greatest game in the world" Mikey said as he pumped his hand in the air.

Donny smiled and got up and started toward his lab. "Well back to work, I will see you guys later".

"See ya Donny" Both Mikey and David replied.

"So Mikey, you ready to go?" David asked.

"Hu, go where?" Mikey asked looking confused.

"To the comic book convention" David answered.

"You do know that I am 6 ft green talking turtle right? I mean I can't exactly go like this" Mikey said as he motioned to himself.

"That is where you are wrong buddy" David replied and handed him a flier and then added " You see, it's a comic book convention and they ask they people dress up in costumes, so you can come as yourself and no one would notice, they would think you are wearing a costume".

"Hey, this would work, but we should ask Splinter first, just in case" Mikey said and he got up off the couch and both of them walked to Splinters room and knocked on the door.

"Enter" they heard from the other side of the door.

Mikey and David walked in and both of them bowed to the old rat sitting in the middle of the room.

"Master Splinter we have a request if you don't mind" David said.

"Ahh yes, I know about the convention. I think it would be a great idea for you two to go" Splinter said. Mikey looked up shocked.

"You do?" Mikey asked.

"Yes I do, it would be good for you to get out of the lair and I know that costumes is the main attraction for the convention so you may go. Just be careful" Splinter warned them.

"We will be careful master, and thank you" Mikey said trying to hind the excitement in his voice.

"Your welcome my son, besides, it will give me a chance to catch up on my stories" Splinter said as he got up and started to walk towards the couch, "Angela is going to break up with Tom, I just know it" he said out loud to himself as he sat down and turn on the tv.

"Well what are we waiting for? Lets go" Mikey smiled and raced out the door, followed by David.

When they got to the convention there were hundreds of people and Mikey was so excited as they got in the door and seen all of the costumes people were wearing and all of the comic books and other items that were on display or being sold.

"Wow, this is amazing. Look at all the cool stuff" Mikey said as they walked from booth to booth. David smiled, it was nice to see a big smile on Mikey's face. He looked like a kid in a candy store. All of a sudden something caught Mikey's eye and he raced over to it, followed by David.

"David, look at this, this is a Superman comic where he faces Doomsday and dies, its really rare. To top it off, this is the first issue, oh man" Mikey said with his face pressed against the glass case that held the comic.

"It looks like it is for sale" David said as he pointed at the price sticker on it.

"1000 dollars, wow, I sure wish I could have it, it would be great in my collection" Mikey said.

"Don't worry Mikey, if you want something bad enough and pray for it, it can come true" David said as he patted Mikey on his shoulder. They walked away from the case and spent the next four hours looking at all the comics and items on display. Mikey had the time of his life, it was the first time he felt this happy in years.

On they way back to the lair they decided to stop and get a bite to eat. There was a little pizza place right next door to the convention and they went inside and sat down at a table. After a moment a waitress came up to them and looked at both of them and then smiled.

"I take it you two just came from the comic book convention?" the waitress asked.

"Yea, how did you know?" Mikey asked.

"You are the 12th group that has came in here, dressed like animals or aliens today" she answered. She took their order and walked away.

"Hey David?" Mikey said.

"Yea" David said looking back at him

"Thanks, I had a great time, I needed this, you know, it makes me feel like a part of Chris is still with me and I felt like I was with him in there, I don't mean that in a bad way" Mikey told him.

"Hey it is ok, I am glad you had a good time, but promise me one thing" David asked him.

"Sure, what is it?" Mikey asked back

"Keep coming to these things, you said you felt good about it, and that you felt he was with you when you were in there. I can tell you this, he never left you, any of you, he has always been with you" David told him.

"Thank you, I needed to hear that, it seems like for so long we mourn for him and kind of forgot to celebrate his life. I can't believe that it took a stranger to make us all open our eyes. Not that you are a stranger anymore" Mikey said laughing lightly.

"Thanks I think, if that was a compliment" David replied just as the waitress came back with their food.

"Here you go hun, eat up" she said and walked away. After eating Mikey and David got back to the lair and Mikey went to see if Donny needed any help in his lab. Leo walked out of the kitchen and seen David walking back to the door of the lair.

"Hey, David, where you going?" Leo asked

"I have an errand to run real quick. I will be back in a few" David said.

"O ok, what kind of errand?" Leo asked as he sat down on the couch. David looked towards Donny's lab and then back to Leo.

"I have to go pick up a gift, I forgot at the comic book convention"
