I apologize for the delayed update; it took me about five days just to write my most recent chapter in "Saving the Future", and let me tell ya: it was a hard one to write.

Anyway, guess who we get to meet in this chapter? Read to find out! *I do not own anything related to "Meet the Robinsons" or "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"* Enjoy!

P.S. I have decided that this will NOT be a crossover. This is mainly a series that surrounds Wilbur and Karena's relationship in the first four years. Donatello and family are NOT the main characters. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I'll be happy to answer for you. Thanks! :)

Also, I watched the season 1 finale of TMNT, and it was BOOYAKASHA! I'm really looking forward to season 2, especially Don's conflict with Casey. Personally, I think Don and April are cute together, but we'll see where this season goes. If you would like me to create a biography for Don, April, or family (I already created one for Lillianna), please message or review! I've heard two different rumors: April will, in fact, date Casey, or Don and April will kiss and fall in love. I don't know which one is true, but in this case, let's just say that April did date Casey at some point, but they break up and April realizes that Donnie has been there for her all along and falls for him (catch the hugs in a few episodes?). Anyway, on with the show since I'm now done talking.


*WILBUR'S POV*

February 26, 2039

I really hate dressing up. Today, I just really wanted to kick back and relax since it was Saturday. But, NO! My dad woke me up at 6:30 this morning and told me to wear something nice and not my usual Captain Time Travel shirt. So, here I am, buttoning up my turquoise shirt and zipping my black trousers and tying my black dress shoes.

I couldn't do my chargeball warm-up due to what I was wearing, so I just went straight to the dining room for breakfast via travel tube. But when I approached my seat, I found my spunky girlfriend sitting in the chair...again.

"Hey, honey," Karena said with a smile.

"Good morning, Karr," I replied, leaning down and giving her a kiss. "Do you mind getting up so that I can sit down?"

"That won't be necessary, Wilbur," my brunette girlfriend answered with a smirk. My mouth was wide open.

"Since when do you say 'no?'"

"Lewis wanted me to tell you to meet him in the garage," Karena explained. "Breakfast will be at Robinson Industries, and you will be driving him there."

"Lewis?" I asked with shock. "How did he get here?" I paused with a 'whoa' hand gesture. "Wait, did Dad steal the time machine to get his future self?" Karena and my mom, who was seated next to her, laughed.

"No, silly," my mom answered. "Karena's kidding. Your father wants you to go to work with him. He says he wants you to meet a friend."

"Oh. But what about Karena?"

"Franny and I are having a girl's day out," my girlfriend answered. "Since we don't do this often, and you're with your dad, I figured that we would go to an ice skating lesson together."

"Ice skating?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "Are you serious?"

"Oh, very serious," my mom answered. "And Tallulah and Aunt Billie are coming with us." Then she stood us and shooed me away. "Go on, have a great time at work!"

"Mom! I don't have a job!"

"You do for today, mister," my mom pressured me. "Now go! Have fun! Say hi to your friend for me!" I was pushed under the travel tube, and I went up and down to the garage.

"Man, women can be so pushy!" I exclaimed out loud with my head down. I heard my dad chuckle as he approached me.

"Are we ready to rock and roll?" my dad asked, and I shot my head up again.

"Since when do you speak metal?" I asked jokingly with a smirk.

"Since I learned how to be a country boy."

"Country doesn't speak metal, Dad," I corrected him jokingly. "Country speaks ballads."

"Well then rock and roll speaks metal," my dad said. "Well, you're driving, so let's go to work."

We jumped in the flying car, and I activated the controls to bring the car to life. I pulled the wheel up so that the car could rise in the air, and I opened the garage door above us so that I wouldn't damage the car. I then pushed the car forward and stepped on the gas as we got closer to the city.

"So one question: what exactly is the occasion?" I asked as I drove.

"We are meeting an old friend, Wilbur," my dad answered.

"Who, though? Karena said the exact same thing when I asked her."

"You'll just have to wait and see," my dad answered. Great, more waiting. This day just gets better and better...and it's only 7:00 in the morning.

We finally approached the city, and I took a right turn. I turned left then after half a mile, and there was Robinson Industries. I parked the car on the top floor, and we got out to take the elevator down to the fifth floor, which was where my dad had to clock in. It's been awhile since I've been in Robinson Industries; the last time I was here was to destroy the evidence of attempted murder last year. But the look started to come back as I paid close attention to the paintings on the walls, as they belonged to my cousin Laszlo and my girlfriend Karena. They had done various paintings, such as a family picnic (Laszlo's), a side view of Todayland with mountains in the background (Karena's), the memory scanner (Laszlo's), and my mom dressed in purple (Karena's).

We took the elevator...again, to the 17th floor, where my dad's lab/office was at. Just as we got in the room, Evelyn paged my dad.

"Yes, Eve?"

"Someone's here to see you, Mr. Robinson," Eve said.

"Oh, that must be my guest," my dad answered through the machine. "Send him up. Thank you, Eve."

"You're welcome, sir," Eve replied. "Have a nice day."

"You too." My dad started to look through his papers and notes, and he sighed.

"This is the life of an inventor," my dad said, discarding some notes. I laughed as I explored his office. There was an awful lot of family portraits done in the room, but in photography and in paintings. The paintings were done by Karena, who did a remarkable job at them. My dad bought the portraits from Karena, and she had earned about $700 in credit so far. She was really happy and decided to save the money for a new apartment, which, she told me, wasn't going to happen until June; she wanted to save more first.

My thoughts were interrupted when my dad and I heard a knock on the door.

"Come on in!" my dad said, and the door opened with a swish! sound. I had my eyes wide open; I couldn't believe who it was that came in!

"D-D-Donnie?"

"Wilbur?"

"Ohmygosh I cannot believe it's really you!" I exclaimed as Donatello Hamato and I gave each other a handshake and a hug. "It's been a long time." I paused to examine him. He still looked like he was a young teenager with maybe a little more muscle, he had the same old smile with the gap in his teeth, and he was now wearing a white lab coat instead of only his ninja belt and paddings, but he was not wearing his purple mask. I remembered his daughter, Lilli, telling me that he was an inventor in New York City after earning a degree in physics and chemistry.

"It's been a long time," Donnie replied with a smile.

"You look really good for your age," I complimented him. "How old are you now?" He was only my age when I first met him here two years ago...when Karena still lived in her old world with the movies. Now that everything morphed together, it was clear that Don did visit the future during his teenage years.

"I turn 42 in September," Donnie answered. "Forty is the new fifteen, especially when you've been training ninjitsu." He turned toward my dad, and they shook hands.

"Nice to see you again, Cornelius," the inventing ninja said with a smile.

"Same to you, Mr. Hamato," my dad replied. "Since it's early, I'd figure you could reunite with Wilbur and catch up."

"So that's why he's here," Don said.

"Yes, he has some information about your daughter."

"I have heard about that," Donatello replied, now with concern on his face. "Hopefully I'll get some answers."

"Same here, Mr. Hamato," my dad said.

"Donatello, please."


"A couple of robot sentries found her in the middle of the road, and they brought her to the orphanage, thinking she was an orphan."

"But how is she?" Donatello asked with worry in his voice.

"Mildred has been doing a great job taking care of her for the past two years," I answered. "I took her on a little tour of Todayland, and she loved it."

"Really?" Donnie placed a hand on his chin. "So she has adjusted to the new environment?"

"She kept fighting to go home for a year and...a...half...but my girlfriend met her at the orphanage and invited her to my place. Since then, she's been serious about her education." I paused, and I chuckled. "Lilli's like the sister I never had. She's so fun to hang out with."

"Lillianna has her mother's spunkiness," the amber-eyed ninja said. "But she has been taught well, both academically and...oh how should we put this? Physically?"

"As in ninjitsu?" I asked.

"Yes," Don answered. "Her uncle, Leo, is a great sensei."

"So what happened to Splinter?" I asked.

"Because he was mutated into a rat, his life span was shortened," Donatello explained. "He died of a heart attack when Lilli was five. He would've been in his 60s if he was here today."

"So Leo took over as sensei?"

"It was in Splinter's will."

"So, what about your brothers?" I asked. "Are they married too?"

"I'm the only married one in the family," Donnie answered. "Leo did date a girl for sometime, but it didn't work out. All Raph did was hang out and once in a while get drunk with Casey. And Mikey just continued to live life as a fun-loving uncle." He paused, taking in a breath. "We're all blessed, really. Lilli brought a whole new meaning of life to us."

"So how is April?" I asked, but then I held back. "Sorry, I didn't mean to change the subject."

"No, it's fine," the inventor replied with a chuckle. "April's doing fine. She is a much better kunoichi than she was before. And she's a great mom. Lilli looked up to her the most when she didn't know what to do about her psychic powers."

"Do you know how Lilli got them yet?"

"No, all I could come up with was 1/4 turtle and 3/4 human along with 1/2 April and 1/2 me."

"What's up with the 1/4 part?" I asked.

"Lilli has the same number of fingers as I do," Donatello explained. "I did do a few tests on her when she was born, and she had a hidden shell in her back."

"Lilli said that it hurt as she grew up," I interrupted.

"Yeah, she kept coming to me about it. I would give her back massages or painkillers, but she kept complaining about it."

"So where is the shell?" I asked. "Or does she not have one?"

"She has one, and she doesn't," Don answered. "The shell's hidden as though from a person's eyes, she doesn't have one. But her back is very well shielded. So if someone were to stab her in the back, it would be impossible...as a matter of fact, it's impossible on the front, too."

"Lilli has a plastron?" This was getting better and better.

"Yes, but she said it didn't hurt as much as her back did when her shell was growing. Her shell and plastron that are hidden in her body are like a shield."

"Okay, well is there any sign of a tail?" I asked.

"No tail," Donatello answered. "Her looks are mainly from her mother, but she has a few of my looks as well."

"She has your brains, apparently," I chimed in.

"That she does," the mutant turtle said laughing.

"Sorry to change the subject, but why are you here?"

"Your father emailed me and asked me for the mutagen from Dimension X that I have been keeping. He wanted to experiment on it. As he also explained that you found my daughter, he wants to help find out the cause of her psychic powers."

"So you think it's in the mutagen?" I asked.

"We don't know," Don answered with a shrug. "It's possible that she may have inherited her mother's mental energies-"

"But she could also have gotten them from you," I interrupted him, but the turtle waved his hands.

"Oh, I'm no psychic; I only have the brains...and some part of the mutagen."

"Then that must be it!"

"But it doesn't mean that Lilli has gotten her powers just from mutagen," Don chimed in. "It may be-"

"It's time." I heard my dad in the comlink, and we stood up.


"So what can you tell me about this mutagen?" my father asked as he examined it through a microscope.

"Because the ooze is not of this planet," Donatello Hamato explained. "It's very unpredictable. For example, when I was exposed to the ooze, I was last in contact with a human, so thus I mutated into a humanoid turtle. Timothy didn't come into contact with anything but plastic, so he mutated into some giant blob."

"You haven't found a cure?" I asked.

"Unfortunately, no," Don answered. "Sensei passed away ten years ago before I could find a way to turn him back into a human. It was the same way with everyone else who mutated: Chris Bradford, or Dogpound; Xever, or Fishface; Vic, Spider Bytes; Snake, Snakeweed. Even Timothy is gone."

"What happened to him because of his mutation?" Dad asked.

"He was cast into the Atlantic Ocean, never to be seen again."

"So how come you and your brothers are still alive?" I asked.

"We're part-human, so our life spans are longer," Donatello answered. "We may even live to 80 years old with all the new technology."

"Could this affect your daughter in anyway?" Dad asked.

"I did run a few tests on her when she was born, and there was no sign of mutagen in her system. She's got half of April's genes and half of mine, half-human and half-turtle."

"But it could be the cause of her powers," Dad suggested.

"I don't know," Don replied. "Dr. Victor Falco back in 2012 experimented on the mutagen, modifying it to create some psychic connection."

"But was he a success?" I asked.

"We don't know. He inserted the psychic abilities into his own mind before we could find out."

I realized that Karena may know something of that research since she did mention travelling through different movies before she moved; she told me that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show was one of them that she traveled through, and she mentioned a mutant monkey. I slowly walked out of the room while the two scientists from both sides of the United States continued to discuss the mutagen research.


I know, some of this stuff didn't happen, but again, this is in the future. So I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and stay tuned for what Karena has to say.
