Lil'Pup: I don't own anything, so please don't sue me.

"What took you guys so long," Cyborg asked as Jack and Shiva walked through the door.
"They were probably making out in a closet somewhere," Gizmo said making kissing noises while Jimmy, Mandark and Dexter went eww.
"We just had a little trouble, that's all," Shiva said ignoring what Gizmo said. "So did everyone do their jobs?"
"Yep, everything's ready to go," Donatello said giving Shiva a thumbs up.
"Great," Shiva said as she started typing something on the computer. "Okay, Jack, Donny, Cyborg, and Gizmo, come over here for a minute."
"Is there something wrong," Donny asked.
"No," she said pulling out a camera, "I just wanted to get a picture before we left."
They all sweat dropped, but decided to do what she said.
"I want to be in the picture too," Folami said standing next to Jack.
"Hey, watch the hands buddy," Jack said.
After the picture was taken, Folami asked if he could have a picture of just him and Jack. "I want something to show off to my friends once I get home," He whispered in her ear.
"I can understand that," Shiva whispered back, "Jack is really pretty."
"I don't know what they're talking about, but it's giving me a bad feeling," Jack said to Gizmo who just shrugged.
"Hey, why do you think Akili hasn't noticed that everyone's missing," Donatello asked.
Both Jack and Shiva stayed quiet, as through the turtle hadn't said anything, while everyone else just told him not to worry about it.
"So what do we do once we get back," Mandark asked out of nowhere.
"Simple," Shiva said, "We go on with our lives, but always remember what happend these past few days, so we know never to agree to a tournament that we didn't hear about on TV or from a friend."
"That works," Jack said with a nod.
Everyone gave the two of them a weird look, but decided to move on.
"So Shiva, were you able to find us a way home," Cyborg asked.
"Yep, I'm start working on it now, everyone say their goodbyes." she said.
As Shiva started to type on the main computer, Jack, Cyborg, Donatello, and Gizmo all walked up to each other.
Donatello was the first one to say something, "Well, this sure has be a crazy week."
"I'm sure we all had crazier," Jack commented.
They all gave a nod of agreement, then silence followed.
Jack had something he wanted to say that is really corny, but he guessed he could let his pride go just this once.
"Even through you guys may laugh at me for saying this, I'm really happy to have met you guys. Your the first real friends I've ever had." After Jack finished, he waited for some laughter or some weird looks, but to his surprise he found the three of them to be tearing up.
"We're happy to have met you too," they said hugging him.
Jack blushed and briefly wondered if it would have been better if they made fun of him instead.
Soon after, Shiva said that everything was done, and they would all be home in a minute.
Donatello turned to Jack, "I just want to thank you again for saving my life."
Jack rubbed the back of his head, "Your welcome," he said blushing.
"I hope I can repay you one day," Donny said before dissappeared.
Looking around, Jack saw that the only people left were Shiva, Folami, and himself.
"Why are we still here," Jack asked giving Shiva a look.
"Two reasons," Shiva said, "One, Folami said he wanted to take some pictures with you, but I thought you would want to do it when no one was here. Two, I just had somethings I wanted to talk to you about."
Sighing Jack said, "Fine, lets get the picture over with."
As soon as he said that, Folami wrapped an arm around Jack's shoulders, and made an V with his other hand. After Shiva gave him the picture Folami asked, "Can we take some nude pictures now?"
Before Jack could call him a pervert, Folami was gone, and Shiva and him were alone.
"If it makes you feel any better, you guys live in different dimensions, so he won't be able to find you," Shiva said.
After considering it for a moment Jack said, "Yeah, it kind of does. So what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"
"I wanted to ask you if you would like to come live with me and my friends," Shiva asked.
Jack's eyes widen, "What?"
"I know you're not that happy with the way your life is now, and I know all my friends would like you," Shiva said, "I just thought that might make you happier."
Jack could tell that he was ready to cry. For the first time in his life someone was offering a home and friendship. Not because it was expected of her, just because Shiva cared for him.
"I'm not sure what would make me happy," Jack said. "But I think it would be best if I went home and had sometime to think everything over."
Shiva nodded, "I understand."
After that there was a flash of light and Jack was back home. Looking around, Jack saw that he was back where he was before he left, and that his jet was still there. Yawning, Jack relized he hadn't slept in nearly three days, so he desided to get back to his evil lair and get some sleep.

"Mariah we need to call Shizuru," Juju said.
"But we told her we could take care of ourselves," Mariah argued, "What will she think when we tell her we lost Shiva."
"Don't worry, you won't have to," Shiva said opening the door to the house.
"SHIVA," her best friends shouted hugging her.
"We were so worried about you, are you alright," Juju asked.
"I'm fine," Shiva assured them.
"What happened," Mariah wanted to know.
"It's actually a really fascinating story," Shiva said, "And I made some new friends."
"Yay," Juju shouted, "Story time.
Mariah sighed as she sat down on the couch so Shiva could tell them what happened.

Next day...
"Why are we at Jack Spicer's house," Omi asked looking up at his friends.
"We came here so we could tell Jack's parents what happened to him," Kimiko said sadly.
"Oh," Omi said looking down, looking like he was going to cry. No one wanted to admit it, but it had been a week and there had been no sign of Jack anywhere. They knew it was only right to tell Jack's parents the bad news and pay their respects.
After ringing the doorbell, they waited, only to be surprised when a very sleepy looking Jack opened the door.
"Sp.. Spicer, what are you doing here," Raimundo asked.
"What are you talking about loser, I live here." Jack pointed out.
"We thought you were dead partner," Clay said his voice cracking.
Jack's eye's widened, 'Were they worried about me,' Jack thought.
Omi couldn't help it, he started crying and hugged Jack. The other three monks followed his lead, and hugged the white skin boy. Jack then lost his balance, and they all fell to the floor.
"Jack where were you," Rai asked, his hand staying on his cheek for a moment.
Blushing, Jack said, "Well, it's kind of along story, but I need to ask you guys something." When all eyes were one him, he asked, "Is it common courtesy to state your own name before asking for someone else's?"
