"I'm starting to get worried." April said, pacing back and forth in front of the lab door, "They've been there almost an hour." She said. Holly and Hannah looked up from the couch.

"Should we go in there?" Holly asked, getting up and walking over.

"They said not to." Hannah said.

"Knock." Holly suggested. April nodded and softly knocked on the door.

"Guys? Donnie?" She asked. There wasn't an answer. The three of them waited for a response, "I'm going in." April whispered. She slowly placed her hand on the cold door knob and turned it. The door creaked open and they walked in. At least they were turtles.

"They're kids." Holly pointed out, staring at the tiny from of Mikey. His mask had slipped down to his neck and he had a lot more freckles. He was curled up in a little ball, against Donnie.

April let herself smile at seeing Don as a kid. His mouth was open enough so that you could see his adorable tooth gap. He was on his side, facing Mikey, and they were huddled together. She pulled out her T-phone that Don made for her and snapped a picture of the two.

Hannah walked over to Raph. He was sprawled out, his hand resting on Leo's face. His mouth was wide open and a little bit of drool hung out the side of his mouth. She smiled and rested her hand on his tiny head. His eyes twitched a little and she pulled her hand away.

"Should we wake them up?" Holly asked April. April shook her head.

"No, we might scare them." She answered. Then, Mikey's head started moving back and forth. The girls took a step back. Mikey's eyes started to open and he slowly sat up, rubbing them. He opened them all the way and spotted the girls. He screamed, waking the others. They saw the girls and screamed too. The four tiny turtles huddled together, feared looks on their faces.

"It's okay, we won't hurt you." April said softly, stepping forward. They all were shaking. Don started crying, burying his face in Leo's plastron. They didn't know if he was crying about a broken leg or if he was just scared. April felt quilt build up within her and she stepped back, "What should we do?" She asked Holly and Hannah.

"I got it." Hannah said, looking over at them, "Give me a sec." She said, pushing Holly and April out. She sat down int he middle of the room and looked over at them. They all were looking away, except Raph.

"Who aw you?" Raph asked, stepping away from the rest of his brothers and crossing his arms.

"My name's Hannah." She replied, pointing to herself, "What's your name?" She asked, even though she knew. She wanted them to get to know her and feel like they were new to her also.

"Waph." He said after a pause, "Why aw you hew?" He took another step forward. Don's crying started to subside and they all were watching Raph.

"Uh, your dad let me in." She answered. He stepped forward again.

"Daddy yet you in?" Mikey asked, breaking away from the huddle. She smiled.

"Yes. He said to come in here and meet you four." She said. Mikey ran over and stuck out his hand.

"I'm Mikey." Mikey said. She shook his tiny green hand, "I've never met a human before!"

"Well, I've never met a turtle before." She said, glad they were getting comfortable with her. Leo got up and walked over.

"I'm 'eo. I'm de oldest." Leo said, putting his hands on his hips. Hannah smiled at him and looked past the three of them to Don. Don was standing up, his hands behind his back and his face facing the ground. At least his leg wasn't broken. Hannah stood up and walked over to Don. She got down on one knee and looked at him. He shyly looked at her and stepped back, wiping his eyes.

"What's your name?" She asked. Don looked over at her with giant brown eyes. He didn't answer, instead he stepped back again. Mikey ran over and stepped in between her and Don.

"That's Donnie. He's shy." Mikey answered. Hannah sighed and stood up.

"Who wer de otter people?" Leo asked, looking up at her. Mikey took her hand.

"That was April and Holly. Want me to bring them in here?" She asked. Mikey started jumping up and down.

"Yes! Yes!" He said over and over.

"Stay right here. Okay?" She said. They all nodded. Except Don, he was still separated from the group. Hannah left the lab with a smile.

"Are they okay?" Holly asked once she saw Hannah.

"Yeah, but they don't remember anything. Don is really shy and his leg doesn't seem broken." She replied, looking over at April when she said the Don part. Hannah lead them into the lab.

"Boys, this is April and Holly." Hannah said. Leo, Raph, and Mikey ran over.

"Hi! I'm Mikey!" Mikey said, waving to them, "You're pretty." He told Holly. Holly blushed.

"I'm 'eo, I'm de oldest." Leo said, pointing to himself. Raph came over and pushed Leo aside.

"I'm Waph." Raph said. Leo pushed him back and they got into a fight.

"Raph, Leo, stop." Hannah said, standing in between them. April walked over to Don, who was standing alone.

"Hi, I'm April." She said, getting down on one knee. Don started fiddling with his mask that hung around his neck. He sniffled and backed away. April sighed and sat down, "Do you want me to tie your mask for you?" She asked. He stared at the ground and slowly nodded, pulling it off and handing it to her. He walked over and stood in front of her. She adjusted the mask so it wouldn't be to long, and tied it around his tiny head.

"Fank you." He softly said when she finished, "I'm Donnie." He said after a long silence. She smiled.

"It's very nice to meet you Donnie." She said with a nod. He put his hands behind his back and stepped forward.

"Where's daddy?" He asked, looking up at her.

"He's, uh, he left us in charge for a while." She answered. Splinter was gone on a trip since he was human and he wouldn't be back for another week, "Does your leg feel okay?" She asked. He looked down at his feet.

"Yeah." He answered, still staring at his feet. He started rocking back and forth on his heals.

"How old are you guys?" April asked, leaning forward a little. Don deeply thought and counted on his fingers.

"Fow." Don finally answered, holding up one hand and one finger on the other.

"Let's go over with everyone else." April suggested, standing and offering him her hand. He looked at it.

"I don't wanna." Don said, stepping back.

"Why?" She asked, getting down to his height. He started tearing up.

"Waph's mean to me." He said, burying his face in April's shoulder. She was startled at first, but then started rubbing the back of his head with her hand.

"It's okay Donnie." She said. Don let go of her and stepped back.

"I'm sorry." He said, staring at the ground again. He quickly wiped his eyes with the back of his hands.

"It's alright. Now let's walk over there." She said. Don reached out and grabbed her hand. He stared at the ground and started sucking his thumb.

"Is he okay?" Hannah asked April.

"Yeah, he's scared of Raph though." She answered. Hannah nodded. Suddenly, Holly's phone buzzed.

"Hannah, mom says that we better get home soon or we're grounded." She said.

"Will you be okay here?" Hannah asked.

"Yeah, they're probably going to be going to bed anyway." April answered, feeling Don moving behind her, still holding her hand.

"Aw you gonna leave?" Don asked, looking up at April.

"No, I'm not going to leave." She answered. Don nodded and stuck his thumb in his mouth again.

"Hannah and I have to leave," Holly told the four little turtles, "We'll be right back tomorrow though." Mikey ran over and hugged her leg.

"Do you have to go?" He asked, giving her puppy dog eyes.

"Yes. I'll be back though." She said, bending down. Mikey nodded and gave her a giant kiss on the cheek.

"Mikey's got girl cooties!" Raph yelled, pointing at Mikey. Mikey turned around and stuck his tongue out. Leo waved at her and Hannah. Raph stepped forward and waved.

"Bye!" He said, hugging Hannah's leg. Hannah and Holly waved to April then left.

"Can we watch TV?" Leo asked, walking towards the door.

"No, you guys need to go to bed." April said. They all groaned, except for Don, who just kept quiet.

"I'm not tired." Mikey said, wiping his eyes.

"I don't wanna go to bed!" Raph said, crossing his arms.

"Can you tuck me in?" Leo asked, taking April's other hand.

"Yes. Come on guys, time for bed." April said, shooing Mikey and Raph out. They pouted and went to their rooms, "I'll be right there to tuck you in."

"I don't need to be tucked in. I'm a big kid." Raph said, going into his room and closing the door. April followed Leo to his room and went in. Leo jumped into bed and April pulled the covers up. She slipped his mask off and laid it on the nightstand.

"Goodnight Leo." She said, walking away. She quietly closed the door and followed Don to his room. She helped him get into bed and pulled the purple covers over him.

"Night Donnie." She said, kissing his forehead.

"Will daddy be back tomorrow?" He asked, grabbing a little purple bunny from under the bed.

"I don't know." She answered, "Sleep tight." She closed the door and headed to Mikey's room.

"I'm not tired." He said, sitting on the edge of his bed.

"You will be." She said as he laid down. She pulled the covers over him and helped him get his mask off.

"Can we have pancakes tomorrow? Chocolate chip?" Mikey asked, holding a tattered old bear next to him.

"If you go to sleep." She said, getting up. He turned over and curled into a ball. She left his room and closed the door, walking into the TV room and sitting on the couch. She almost screamed when she heard a sound from behind her. It was Don. He stood there with his thumb in his mouth and a giant purple bunny against his chest.

"Don, you're supposed to be in bed." She said. He took a step forward.

"I don't yike de dark." He said. He walked over and sat next to her, "Can I sweep in here?" He asked, hugging his bunny.

"Go ahead." She said. He smiled and rested his head on her leg. She found a little blanket and put it over him, "Good night."

"Good night." He said, falling asleep.
