It was the beginning of December which meant one thing until Christmas. Donnie's birthday was five days a way. Donnie was excited for his 13th birthday, meaning he'd finally be a teenager. Since he entered the seventh grade, he had been waiting to turn 13. Everyone was already getting ready.

Although some people weren't planning for Donatello's birthday. In Japan, Ourko Saki was talking to his second in command in the U.S. over a video camera.

"It has been over a year and you have not brought me not one Hamato!" Shredder yelled at Fred.

"Well I was close this one time but he hit me with a pipe." Fred explained.

"I have had enough of your failure! I am coming to America myself!" Shredder said before hanging up. "You, get a flight ready. I will be going to New York." Shredder demanded to a solider. The soldier did as he was told and within 24 hours Shredder would on his way to the U.S.

"Ok so I'll get him the book and you two get him the set." Miwa said to Leo and Raph. The three where coordinating on Donnie's birthday present. Usually they just got him a few simple things since Christmas was later in month.

"Sounds good." Leo said before Mikey ran into the room.

"Guys, you gotta sign Donnie's birffday card." Mikey said holding up a hand drawn card, drawn by Mikey himself, and a crayon. Raph took it for the older three could look through the card.

There was a big drawing of a cake on the front and in the middle was a drawing of each of them giving Donnie a present. Of coarse it wasn't the best thing in the world but still pretty good for a 4 year old, despite the misspelled words. The three signed their names in the space with the crayon then handed back to Mikey. Mikey took the card back then ran to get his parents signature.

Donnie was at the dining room table finishing his homework when Mikey ran past him and to Shen, who was making dinner. He didn't pay attention to it so he didn't care what the two where whispering about. Mikey ran back out then came back in. He climbed onto the chair next to Donnie and stood up on it.

"Hi Donnie, what ya doin'?" Mikey asked looking at Donnie's stuff.

"Homework." Donnie replied.

"When your done, you wanna play a game?"

"Sure, I'll be done in a little bit." Mikey smiled and jumped off the chair. He ran out of the room while Donnie finished his homework. Mikey came back with Candyland and put it on the table.

"You done yet?" Mikey asked again.

"Hold on...carry the 7 aaaaaaaaaaaaaand done!(Anyone else do this when they finish their homework?)" Donnie said putting his work back in his bag. Together the two set up the game and began playing it. After the game was over, and Mikey won, they picked it up.

"Donatello? Could you do me a favor?" Shen asked from the kitchen.

"Sure, what do you need me to do?" Donnie told Shen.

"Could you go to the store and get some milk? I forgot to pick some up on my way home."

"Yeah, sure." Donnie said as he put his coat on.

"Can I come?" Mikey asked his mom.

"Yes but listen to Donnie, ok?" Shen told Mikey. Mikey nodded then followed Donnie to get his coat on.

Shredder walked into the building his second in command set up as their New York H.Q. Fred had set it up so it was almost identical to the one in Japan.

"Master Shredder, it is good to see you made it here safely." Fred said as Saki walked to the throne he set up.

"Enough, do you have any plans to get those Hamato's?" Shredder asked.

"Well, no..."

"Where they live?"

"Not exactly..."

"Then what do you know?!" Shredder yelled.

"The youngest one knows how to use a pipe..." Fred responded nervously.

"Alright, it is clear that I might have to fire you."

"What?! No please, what if I capture one within the next 24 hours? Then can I keep my job?"

"You have 24 hours after that you are done."

"Yes mater." Fred said before walking out. "Alright now which one, which one...maybe if I get two I'll get a raise..." Fred thought looking at a picture of each of the Hamato's. He tossed aside the pictures of Yoshi and Shen but kept the other five. He looked at the five remaining. After setting three more down, he decided on his two targets.
