Chapter 29
Back at Allendale High in the gym, The gang was still dancing. Then Makayla says, " Girls I got a perfect song for us to dance to!"
Julia says, " What is it Makayla?!" Makayla turns on the song We Are Family by Alvin and The Chipmunks and The Chippettes. The girls start dancing again. Makayla's brothers started dancing too. And for the first time ever Master Splinter was seen dancing with his 4 sons and his daughter. They were all dancing together as a family. Then when the end of song came the whole Hamato family hugged each other. The other girls screamed with excitement. Makayla shed some tears and happily cried, " I love you bros and sensei!"
Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Master Splinter say, " We love you too Makayla!" They all continued hugging each other. Then Master Splinter looks at his children and says, " Yes and we will always be a family! No force will ever separate us!" All of a sudden Makayla began clutching her stomach when she suddenly felt a sharp achey pain. Donatello immediately became concerned for his sister.
Donatello panically says, " Makayla you alright?!" Makayla slipped to the floor still holding her stomach and panically says, " No! My stomach hurts!"
Donatello panically says, " What does it feel like?!"
Makayla panically says, " A sharp achey pain!" Then out of no where Makayla began to cough up blood. Her family gasped at the sight of it. The other girls were starting to get worried and were wondering what was going on with their teammate. Seconds later Makayla passed out in Donatello's arms.
Donatello panically shouted, " Makayla! Someone call an ambulance right now!" Amber pulled out her phone and dialed 9.1.1.
The 9.1.1. operator says, " 9.1.1. What's your emergency?"
Amber panically says, " My name is Amber Morrey and I need an ambulance now! There's something seriously wrong with one of my friends!"
The 9.1.1. operator says, " What's wrong ma'am?"
Amber panically says, " My friend Makayla was complaining about a bad achey pain in her stomach then she started coughing up blood and now she passed out!"
The 9.1.1. operator says, " Where is your location?"
Amber panically says, " Allendale High School! We're in the gym!"
The 9.1.1. operator says, " Ok we have units dispatched to your location! They're on their way!"
Amber panically says, " Thank you!" Within 5 minutes paramedics came rushing in with their medical equipment and a gurney. They took Makayla from Donatello, lifted her onto the gurney and rolled her outside to the waiting ambulance. The rest of the gang piled into the Battle Shell and followed the ambulance to the hospital. Once at the hospital they waited in the waiting room for news on what was happening with Makayla. Moments later the doctor comes out to talk to them.
The doctor says, " Hi. Are you Makayla's family?"
Master Splinter says, " Yes we are. How is my daughter? Is she ok?"
The doctor says, " Well we ran some tests on her and it doesn't look to good."
Leonardo says, " Well what's wrong with her?"
The doctor says, " I'm sorry to tell you this but it looks like she has stage 2 neuroblastoma."
Master Splinter says, " What?!"
The doctor says, " And it's progressing pretty rapidly."
Raphael says, " So what do we do?!"
The doctor says, " Well there's not much you can do but go home and pray that she makes it through the night."
Master Splinter says, " Ok." The gang leaves the hospital and heads to the lair. The turtles and their sensei began watching home videos of when Makayla first came into their lives. Seeing these memories of her made them sad because they didn't want this to be the end. Master Splinter's worst fear was losing his daughter and having to bury her. He hated hearing that big C word. It was a word that tears most families apart. He wished that word never existed. Master Splinter closed his eyes and began to pray for his daughter.
Master Splinter says, " Oh Master Yoshi if you can hear me please save your granddaughter from this dreaded illness. I don't want this to be the end of her life." He opens his eyes after that and goes to bed. The next day he received a call from the doctor. Master Splinter talked to the doctor for a second then he hung up the phone.
Master Splinter says, " Boys can you come here for a second?" The 4 brothers walked over to their sensei.
Raphael says, " So what's the verdict sensei?"
Master Splinter smiles and says, " Your sister's coming home."
The 4 brothers cheered, " Yes! Our sister's coming home!" Master Splinter closed his eyes and said, " Thank you Master Yoshi." Then they heard the lair entrance door open and someone say, "Bros, sensei, I'm home!" The 4 brothers and Master Splinter went to the door and saw it was Makayla. They all hugged her and were happy that she was ok.
Master Splinter says, " Welcome home my daughter."
Raphael says, " Yeah. We were worried about ya. We thought we lost ya."
Makayla says, " Yeah but you didn't. I'm ok." The Hamato family celebrated but that celebration was short lived when the phone rang. Master Splinter walked into the kitchen to answer the phone. It was Daniel's mother. Master Splinter talked to her and by the sound of her voice he knew something was wrong. He then gave his condolences to her and hung up the phone.
Master Splinter sadly says, " Makayla can you come into the kitchen for a second? I need to tell you something."
Makayla says, " Sure Master Splinter." and walks into the kitchen. The 4 brothers were wondering what was going on but it became obvious when suddenly they saw their sister running out of the kitchen in tears and running up to her room slamming the door. Master Splinter walked out of the kitchen moments later.
Raphael says, " Sensei what happened?"
Master Splinter sadly says, " I received a call from Daniel's mother."
Raphael says, " Daniel? One of Makayla's friends?"
Master Splinter sadly says, " Yes my son."
Leonardo says, " What happened?"
Master Splinter sadly says, " Daniel died of a heart attack today." The 4 brothers just stood there in silence. Then Donatello sadly says, " That's horrible."
Leonardo sadly says, " Is Makayla going to be ok?"
Master Splinter sadly says, " I'm sure she will be fine my son." They all stood there in silence listening to Makayla sobbing upstairs in her room. They couldn't bare to listen to her cry so they went up there to comfort her. The other girls that were still there came up there too. Makayla and Morgan just held onto each other and cried because they just lost another friend. Makayla had Hells Bells by AC/DC playing because she knew it was Daniel's favorite song. The two girls just continued hugging each other just crying on each other's shoulders. Then they began to sadly sing the words of the song. But the two best friends couldn't stop crying. The others couldn't bare to see this especially Donatello. He desperately wanted his sister to stop doing things that would make her sad and upset. He hated seeing her like that. So Donatello decided to have a private chat with his sister in his lab. The two of them walked in, Donatello shut the door and Makayla kept pacing back and forth crying.
Makayla cried, " Why are we in here Donny?!"
Donatello sadly says, " Look Makayla I know you're sad and upset about this!"
Makayla cried, " Heck I am! Do you not see me crying because I am!"
Donatello sadly says, " I know that! But seeing you like this it's getting to the point where I can't take it anymore!"
Makayla cried, " Well what do you expect me to do?!"
Donatello sadly says, " I want you to stop doing things that make you sad and upset! Things like turning on a song that your friend used to listen to! Just stop doing that to yourself!"
Makayla cried, " Give me one reason why!"
Donatello sadly says, " I'll tell you why! Because I don't want another repeat of that attempted kitchen knife incident!"
Makayla cried, " It wasn't really an incident Donny!"
Donatello sadly says, " Yes it was Makayla! It could have potentially been one if Raph hadn't caught you!"
Makayla cried, " You have no idea how I feel!"
Donatello sadly says, " Yes I do! You want to know why?! Because you're my sister and I love you!"
Makayla cried, " I love you too Donny!"
Donatello sadly says, " Look we'll help you get through this! Just promise me you won't do anything that makes you sad and upset anymore especially after a tragedy happens!"
Makayla cried, " I'll try but it's going to be difficult!"
Donatello says, " Good! Because I don't want to have to sedate you!"
Makayla says, " Do you always need to say that?!"
Donatello says, " Only when it's completely necessary!"
Makayla says, " Ok!"
Donatello says, " Now what I want you to do is go up to your room and turn off the AC/DC song you have playing! Because it seems like the only song right now that's making you sad and upset!" Makayla walks up to her room and Donatello follows her. The others were still in the room so Donatello politely told them to go downstairs. Once they left the room Donatello closed the door.
Makayla says, " Why did you close the door?!"
Donatello says, " Just do what I said!"
Makayla says, " Which is?"
Donatello says, " Turn off the song!" Makayla walks over to her ipod and stands there for a second.
Donatello says, " Turn it off Makayla!" Makayla picks up her ipod and holds it in her hand for a second.
Donatello says, " Turn it off!" Makayla finally hits the pause button and turns it off.
Makayla says, " There it's off!"
Donatello says, " Now give me the ipod!"
Makayla says, " What?!"
Donatello says, " You heard me! Give me the ipod!"
Makayla says, " Why?!"
Donatello says, " Because I don't trust you with it right now! I don't want you listening to songs that make you upset right now so give me the ipod!" Makayla reluctantly hands over her ipod to her brother.
Makayla says, " What are you going to do with it Donny?!"
Donatello says, " I'm putting it away in a drawer in my lab!"
Makayla says, " When can I have it back?"
Donatello says, " When I say you can have it back which probably won't be for a while! Now stay here I'll be right back!" Donatello walks out for a second to put the ipod away in his lab. Then he comes back in and shuts the door again.
Makayla says, " Now what?!"
Donatello says, " Get some rest!"
Makayla says, " I'm not even tired!"
Donatello says, " I don't care! It will keep your mind off your ipod! Plus it's 10:30 at night anyway!"
Makayla says, " I don't want to go to bed!"
Donatello says, " I don't care! You're going to listen to me whether you like it or not!"
Makayla says, " I'll just find something else to do!"
Donatello says, " No you won't because I'll be sitting in this chair all night long watching you!"
Makayla says, " You got to be kidding me?!"
Donatello says, " No I'm not! I'm serious!" and sits down in the chair he brought up from his lab with one leg crossed over his thy. He also crossed his arms in front of him too. Makayla knew there was no use in arguing with her genius brother so with that she went to sleep. Then the next day Makayla woke up and found Donatello still sitting in the chair. He was still sleeping.
Makayla says, " Did you seriously sit there all night?"
Donatello woke up and said, " What? What did you say Makayla?"
Makayla says, " I said did you seriously sit there all night?"
Donatello says, " Yes. I told you I wasn't kidding."
Makayla says, " Where's my ipod?"
Donatello says, " We talked about this last night. You'll get it back when I say you can have it back."
Makayla says, " I'm not going to do anything with it."
Donatello says, " Makayla if I give it back to you, you're just going to listen to that song again and end up crying again. I don't want you doing that."
Makayla says, " It was my friend Daniel's favorite song."
Donatello says, " I know that but if you listen to it again you'll end up crying again because you know he's gone."
Makayla says, " He was my friend. What was I supposed to do?"
Donatello says, " I don't know but the best way to deal with grief is to remember the good times you had with him and accept it. I know that it's sad that he died yesterday but you have to find something else to do to keep your mind off of him. He can't be the main focus the whole time. Now I'm not saying that you can't mourn him just don't put your entire focus on him."
Makayla says, " Donny you don't understand. 3 of my friends are gone now. First it was Ashley, then it was Niaomi, and now it's Daniel. They were all my best friends and now they're gone."
Donatello says, " I know you miss them Makayla."
Makayla says, " Yes I do."
Donatello says, " But the best thing you can do is remember the good times you had with them. You will always have memories of them."
Makayla says, " You're right."
Donatello says, " You want to go to the cemetary?"
Makayla says, " Yes." Makayla gets dressed and her and her brother walk out of the bedroom. They walk down the stairs, Donatello tells the others that him and Makayla are going to the cemetary so Makayla can visit her 3 dead friends. The two siblings climbed into the Battle Shell and drove over to Hillside Stonewood Cemetary. Once there Makayla first walked over to the tree where her friend Ashley's ashes were buried, then she walked over to Niaomi's grave and then she walked a few feet ahead and found Daniel's grave. The gravestone said:
Daniel Evan Myers
September 23, 1997- August 15, 2003
Beloved son, brother, and friend
The AC/DC king
Makayla smiled a little bit at that. She also noticed that at the top left corner of the gravestone had a picture of a flamming bell and AC/DC written under it.
Makayla sadly says, " Hey Daniel I thought I come by and visit you. I miss you. You were a great friend. I remember you always used to talk about AC/DC constantly. Everyone called you the king of AC/DC. Everyone also knew that you liked that song Hells Bells. It was your favorite song. Me and you used to listen to it everyday after school at your house. But just yesterday I couldn't bare to listen to it without you." Then she felt some tears fall and she began to cry.
Makayla cried, " I was crying so much that my brother Donny took my ipod away! He couldn't bare to hear and see me cry and I just miss you Daniel! Long live the king!" She buried her face into the gravestone and cried. Donatello embraced his sister and just let her cry on his shoulder. Months later Leonardo was sent away to Japan to train with the Ancient One. Makayla missed him very much and she wondered when he was coming back. One month later Leonardo returned home. He told his family how much he missed them and when he saw Makayla he was surprised that was wearing a diaper now. She hadn't worn them since she was 3. But last month was when she begun to wet the bed frequently during the night and Donatello diagnosed her as having nocturnal enuresis.
Leonardo says, " Don I noticed that Makayla is wearing a diaper. Why is that?"
Donatello says, " Because last month Makayla developed nocturnal enuresis."
Leonardo says, " Makayla has NE?"
Donatello says, " Yes. She was really upset when I told her. She was just crying hysterically."
Leonardo says, " Do her friends know about this?"
Donatello says, " Yeah and they're supporting her through it. But she still feels embarrassed about it. I told her that she shouldn't be because there are others out there that are going through the same problem. She's not the only one."
Leonardo says, " Yeah you're right Donny."
Donatello says, " Exactly. Speaking of Makayla I need to go give her a bath now because apparently she wet herself again."
Leonardo says, " Ok. Are you sure you don't need any help?"
Donatello says, " Yeah I'm sure. I got it Leo."
Leonardo says, " Well if you need me you know where to find me."
Donatello says, " Ok." and goes off to find Makayla. When he found her he said, " Bath time Makayla."
Makayla says, " Really? Now?"
Donatello says, " Yes now come on. You wet yourself again."
Makayla says, " Ok." Donatello took his sister into the bathroom, turned on the water, filled up the tub, undressed her and took her diaper off then placed her in the tub. He then started scrubbing her from head to toe. When she accidentally got soap in her eyes she began to cry.
Makayla cried, " I got soap in my eyes! It burns!" Donatello dabbed the washcloth on her eyes and said, " There is that better?"
Makayla cried, " Yes!" Once she was all clean, she was lifted out of the tub, the water was drained, he dried her off, laid her down on the floor and started putting a fresh diaper on her. Makayla was still crying.
Donatello says, " I know I know you don't like this. But I don't want you getting any infections. I'm trying to help you."
Makayla cried, " I feel like I'm 3 years old again."
Donatello says, " I know but you're not. You're 15 and even 15 year olds go through this sometimes too." Makayla continued crying.
Donatello says, " I think you should take a nap after this because you haven't had one yet today."
Makayla cried, " I'm not sleepy!"
Donatello says, " Clearly you are because you won't stop crying." He finished putting the diaper on her but she was still upset. So Donatello began to sing her a Japanese lullaby that Master Splinter used to sing to him and his brothers when they were little. Makayla fell asleep minutes later. Donatello carried his sister up to her room and laid her in her bed. He then kissed her forehead and left. While Makayla was sleeping she wet herself again. Hours later she began waking up just as her brother was walking in.
Donatello says, " Hey Makayla. Did you have a good rest?"
Makayla says, " Yes."
Donatello says, " That's good. Can you roll over on your back for a second?" Makayla rolled over until she was laying flat on her back. Her brother then pulled the sheets down.
Makayla says, " Can you hand me my phone?"
Donatello says, " Sure Makayla." and hands his sister her phone. Makayla was looking at her recent text messages while her brother removed her diaper.
Makayla laughed and said, " Omg! This is hilarious!"
Donatello says, " What is?"
Makayla laughed and said, " This text message that I got from my best friend today!" Makayla continued laughing slamming her fist on her bed repeatedly.
Donatello says, " Makayla stop moving. Hold still."
Makayla laughed and said, " I'm sorry I can't help it! It was just so funny! I know I'll send her a really stupid text message back and see what she says!" Makayla sends a really stupid message back to her best friend Morgan and waits for a response. 2 minutes later Morgan sends a really stupid message back. Makayla was howling with laughter.
Donatello says, " Calm down! What are you laughing at?!"
Makayla laughed and said, " I'm laughing at mine and Morgan's text messages! I sent her a really stupid message and she sent one back to me!"
Donatello says, " What did you say to her Makayla?!"
Makayla laughed and said, " Ok I said, " Arrg! That's a good one matey!" and she says, " Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!"
Donatello says, " You and your best friend are so weird sometimes Makayla."
Makayla laughed and said, " I know we're hilarious together! I'm so glad I became best friends with her!" When she felt the front part of the diaper being pulled up and smoothed across her lower abdomen she laughed and said, "Hey that tickles! Stop it!"
Donatello says, " I'm almost done Makayla. I just need to attach the tabs." He finished attaching the tabs.
Makayla says, " Can I get up now?"
Donatello says, " Yes. You can get up now."
Makayla says, " Good because I invited Morgan over here."
Donatello says, " You invited Morgan over?"
Makayla says, " Yeah cause I want to hang out with her."
Donatello says, " Well get dressed first."
Makayla says, " I'm not that stupid I know what to do." Makayla got up off her bed and got dressed. Donatello walked out just as soon as Morgan came running in.
Morgan laughs and says, " Dude did you get my text?!"
Makayla laughs and says, " Yeah I was cracking up the whole time!"
Morgan says, " What was your brother doing in your room?"
Makayla says, " Oh the usual."
Morgan says, " Changing your diaper?"
Makayla laughs and says, " Yes! Shut up! This doesn't concern you Captain Obvious!"
Morgan says, " I'm really sorry you're going through this. This must be really hard for you."
Makayla says, " Yeah but it's not your fault. A lot of people go through this."
Morgan says, " Well just to let you know that I support you. I wouldn't have this any other way Makayla."
Makayla smiles and says, " Thanks Morgan. You're the bestest friend that anyone could ever have."
Morgan smiles and says, " Thanks. You too Makayla."
Makayla says, " So what do you say that we sled down the stairs on a couple pillows?"
Morgan says, " I say let's do it." Makayla and Morgan grabbed a couple pillows, walked out of the room toward the stairs, placed the pillows on the floor at the top of the stairs, sat down on the pillows and Morgan took off first down the stairs. When she got to the bottom she laughed and screamed, "Ow my tushie!"
Makayla laughed and said, " Oh quit being such a baby Morgan!"
Morgan laughed and screamed, " Oh yeah?! You try it then Makayla and then we'll see who's the baby!"
Makayla laughed and said, " Ok here I come!" Makayla came flying down the stairs screaming with excitement. When she got to the bottom she laughed and said, " That barely even hurt me you ding dong!"
Morgan laughed and said, " That's because you have that diaper on which acts as a second cushion! I don't!"
Makayla laughs and says, " Excuse me Morgan but who's going through NE here?!"
Morgan laughs and says, " You are you weiner!"
Makayla laughs and says, " You're the weiner you dipthong!"
Morgan laughs and says, " No I'm not! You don't even know what a dipthong is Makayla!" Master Splinter overheard the two girls and said, " Makayla, Morgan, I don't want to hear that word! That is very inappropriate!" The two girls laughed at what Master Splinter said.
Makayla laughs and says, " Did you hear what my father just said?!"
Morgan laughs and says, " Yeah he just called us out for trying to call each other dip...!"
Makayla laughs and says, " Don't say it!" Morgan ended up laughing so hard that she didn't notice that she had begun to wet herself.
Makayla shockingly says, " Morgan you just wet yourself!"
Morgan shockingly says, " Oh shell! What do I do now?!"
Makayla shouted, " Donny!"
Donatello shouted, " What Makayla?!"
Makayla shouted, " Can you come over here for a second?!"
Donatello shouted, " Sure Makayla!" He ran out of his lab and came over to the bottom of the stairs. He was shocked to find a puddle of urine on the floor.
Donatello says, " What happened?"
Morgan says, " I was laughing a little too hard and I ended up wetting myself."
Donatello says, " Ok well let's get a diaper on you now before you have another accident. Just stay right there and I'll be right back." He walks away for a second and walks into his lab. Then he comes out with a diaper in his Morgan hand. He carries her to the couch and lays her down. Then he took off her jeans and underwear and began cleaning her off. Then as he was trying to put the diaper on her Morgan started to annoy him by constantly poking him in the head. He kept grabbing her hand and saying, " Morgan quit poking me in the head!"
Morgan says, " Oh come this is fun!"
Donatello says, " It's not fun for me so stop it. Now stay still so I can finish getting the diaper on you."
Morgan says, " I really don't want to."
Donatello says, " You don't really have a choice. We don't want you having another accident." Morgan kept moving her arms and constantly poked Donatello in the head. He kept grabbing at her hand and he said, " Will you stop?!" Morgan kept laughing and kept doing it. Donatello grabbed her hand again and said, " You know what?! I'm restraining your hands because this is getting annoying!" He then calls out for his brother Raphael.
Donatello says, " Raph can you sit on her for a second and make sure she doesn't get up?! I'll be right back!"
Raphael says, " Sure thing genius!" and sits down on top of Morgan.
Morgan shockingly says, " Oh come on?! You're really going to sit on me Raph?!"
Raphael says, " Hey I'm just doin' what ma brother ask me to do!" Morgan kept trying to push him off but Raphael wouldn't budge. Then Donatello came back with a short piece of rope. He told his brother that he could get up off of Morgan now. Donatello tied up her wrists and she shockingly said, " Come on! This is ridiculous you doofus!"
Donatello says, " No it's not! You're the one that's being ridiculous Morgan!"
Morgan shockingly says, " I am not!" He tried to continue with putting the diaper on her but she all of a sudden began kicking him repeatedly. Donatello was blocking Morgan's kicks with his arms and he said, " Morgan stop kicking me!"
Morgan shockingly says, " Well get off of me!" Morgan kept kicking Donatello and Makayla shockingly says, " Morgan what are you doing to my brother?!"
Morgan shockingly says, " Stay out of this cassanova!"
Makayla shockingly says, " Did you seriously call me that?!"
Morgan shockingly says, " Yes now shut up!" Finally Donatello grabbed her legs and sat down on them. Morgan kept trying to move her legs but they wouldn't budge.
Morgan says, " Get off my legs!"
Donatello says, " Calm down!" As he pulled the front part of the diaper up on her lower abdomen Morgan kept trying to twist her body to try to get away. But then the tabs were attached and she was done. Raphael then launched a rubber band at Morgan's head.
Morgan screamed, " Ow! Raph I'm going to get you for that!", jumped off the couch and chased Raphael around the lair screaming at him. Makayla ran after her best friend to make sure that she didn't do anything stupid. That's when the two girls ended up in Donatello's lab trying to sit on a rotating stool at the same time. The two girls were laughing and giggling. Morgan eventually pushed Makayla off the stool and she triumphantly says, "Ha I got the stool! Whatcha going to do now?!" Makayla gets up from the floor, looks at her best friend and says, " Oh yeah?!" Then she begins to chase Morgan as Morgan scoots backwards on the stool out of the lab away from Makayla.
Donatello says, " Morgan come back here with that!" Donatello joins in the chase as Morgan seems to be acting like a retard. Morgan kneels on the stool and starts twisting around on it.
Morgan stupidly says, " Hey look at me! I'm twisting and turning!"
Donatello and Makayla exclaimed, "Morgan!"
Donatello says, " Quit acting like a retard! Is your IQ low today?!"
Morgan stupidly says, " No! My IQ is perfectly fine! I'm just having a little fun!" Then Morgan stands on the stool and starts pretending that it's a surfboard.
Morgan stupidly says, " Hey look at me! I'm surfing!" Then stupidly sings, "Everybody's gone surfin', Surfin' U.S.A.!"
Donatello says, " Morgan I swear to god that if you break that you're going to pay for it!" Master Splinter walks out of his room and says, " What is going on in here Donatello?!"
Donatello says, " I'm on a wild goose chase or as I should say a wild Morgan chase!"
Master Splinter says, " What is Morgan doing my son?!"
Donatello says, " She's acting a little nuts right now! She's pretending my stool is a surfboard!"
Master Splinter says, " Well just try to calm her down! I'm meditating!" Then he walks back into his room. Morgan then managed to smack her face into a wall, fell backwards off the stool and Donatello caught her just before she hit the floor.
Morgan screamed, " Ow my face!"
Donatello frustratingly said, " Ok Morgan come here! See this is why you don't do that! This is what happens when you act crazy! I was just about to tell you that you were going to hurt yourself if you didn't stop! Now come back into my lab!" He then began dragging her back to his lab with her kicking and screaming.
Donatello screamed, " Calm down Morgan!" He then tied her down to a chair and she began flailing her arms wildly and screaming at the top of her lungs. He then went to one of his drawers and pulled out a set of handcuffs. He then walked toward her.
Morgan screamed, " What are you doing?!" as Donatello pulled her wrists forward. As he tried to handcuff her she began trying to pull her hands away screaming, " No! Why are you handcuffing me?!"
Donatello screamed, " It's so you don't hurt yourself!"
Morgan screamed, " I'm not going to hurt myself! Let go!"
Donatello screamed, " Calm down!" He eventually cuffed one of her wrists but he was still trying to cuff the other one. Morgan kept trying to pull away.
Morgan screamed, " No!"
Donatello screamed, " Morgan stop pulling you're going to hurt yourself!" He finally her other wrist forward and cuffed it. Morgan then started crying.
Morgan cried, " Ow! This hurts!"
Donatello says, " See?! I told you that you were going to hurt yourself if you didn't stop doing that!" 2 weeks later Makayla was in her room with her boyfriend and the two of them were making out with each other. Then all of a sudden a loud alarm was heard and it scared the heck out of the two teens. They both screamed and fell off the bed.
Austin says, " Ow! What the shell is that?!"
Makayla says, " I don't know Austin but that sounds really bad like something's going to happen!" Donatello came running in the room and screamed, "Makayla! We need to get out of here now!"
Makayla screamed, " Why Donny?! What's going on?!"
Donatello screamed, " The triceratons are trying to invade the lair!"
Makayla screamed, " What is that noise?!"
Donatello screamed, " It's the security alarm! Now come on we got to go!"
Makayla screamed, " Where are we going?!"
Donatello screamed, " We're going to the farmhouse!"
Makayla screamed, " North Hampton?!"
Donatello screamed, " Yes! Now come on! Get some of your things and lets go!" Makayla packed a few things and began running down the stairs with her boyfriend and her brother. Then Makayla, Morgan, Austin, the pom team, the turtles, Klunk, Master Splinter, April and Casey all piled into the elevator. They went up to the garage, climbed into the Battle Shell and drove down the street to get to the highway. They began their long road trip retreat to North Hampton. Casey turned on the radio and Two Story Town by Bon Jovi was playing. Everyone started singing the words of the song. Then when they arrived at the farmhouse it was dark outside so everyone went inside to go to bed. Then the next day Julia decided to go outside for some fresh air. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until everyone inside the house heard a loud blood-curdling scream outside and a chainsaw engine reviving up. Everyone ran outside to see what was going on and were surprised to see Julia coming around the corner of the barn screaming at the top of her lungs.
Makayla panically screamed, " Julia what's going on?!"
Julia screamed, " It's my dad! He's going to kill me with a chainsaw!"
Makayla screamed, " What?!" Then less than 2 seconds later Mr. Hathaway comes running around the corner of the barn, chainsaw raised in the air, screaming like a maniac. Everyone started screaming and scattering everywhere. Raphael and Casey tried to grabbed the chainsaw away from him but they were kicked in the face.
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " JULIA! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Julia started running away from the barn screaming as her dad was chasing her with the chainsaw.
Julia screamed, " Dad! Put the chainsaw down! What hell are you doing?!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " Shut up!" This teriffying incident when on for several minutes until the sheriff showed up and took Mr. Hathaway into custody. 3 days later Casey told everyone that he was going to cut up some wood into woodchips. Makayla wanted to help him. So the two of them walked 200 yards across the yard to the woodchipper and began grabbing wood to throw into the machine. Things were normal at first but then something teriffying happened. Casey turned his back for one second then when he turned back around he watched in horror as Makayla slipped and fell backwards into the woodchipper. She let out a loud, blood-curdling scream as well. Casey paniced and immediately hit the shut off button. Then he pulled Makayla out and saw that the top of her head was bleeding. Blood was dripping down her face, dripping down the back of her head and dripping everywhere on the ground. Makayla was silent and limp. Casey left Makayla on the ground and ran back to the house. He ran inside screaming, " Code red! Code red!"
April screamed, " Casey! Use your words!"
Raphael screamed, " Yeah bonehead! Spit it out! What is it?!"
Casey screamed, " Makayla got injured!"
Donatello screamed, " What do you mean she got injured?!"
Casey screamed, " I can't even say it! You have to come see for yourself Donny!" Donatello bolted out the door with Casey and began running across the yard screaming, " WHAT THE SHELL?! MAKAYLA!" Donatello could clearly see that his sister's head was bleeding very badly and needed immediate medical attention. He picked her up and ran back to the house. He began CPR on her while the others were watching. 10 minutes later Donatello threw his hands up and decided to call it.
Leonardo shouted, " Donny you can't call it!"
Donatello shouted, " Leo there's nothing I can do! They say if a person doesn't respond in 5 minutes it means they never will! Our sister's gone!"
Leonardo shouted, " No! We're not going to sit here and let you give up! Try one more time Donny!" Donatello was about to protest but he decided to try one more time. This time Makayla responded and regained consciousness. Makayla opened her eyes and saw everyone's worried faces staring at her.
Makayla softly said, " What happened? Why does my head hurt?"
Donatello says, " You got injured by the woodchipper."
Makayla softly says, " What?! How did that happen?!"
Casey says, " You slipped and fell backwards into it. I shut it off before it could pull you in any farther and pulled you out." Everyone continued talking until they heard loud banging noises outside. They went outside to see what was going on and were surprised to see Austin swinging an axe repeatedly at the woodchipper in a fit of rage. Everyone ran toward him and Leonardo shouted, " Austin! What the shell are you doing?!"
Austin shouted, " What am I doing Leo?! I'll tell you what I'm doing! I'm destroying this deathtrap!"
Leonardo shouted, " Why?!"
Austin shouted, " Because this stupid thing almost killed your sister! So I'm ending its stupid, pointless life!"
Leonardo shouted, " Ok did you take a handful of idiot pills by any chance?! It's an inanimate object!"
Austin shouted, " I don't care what it is! This thing's going down!"
Makayla says, " What's going on here?"
Raphael says, " What's going on here Makayla is dat yer boyfriend is going insane."
Makayla says, " What are you talking about?" She then saw the dents and cuts in the woodchipper and saw her boyfriend standing next to it holding an axe.
Makayla shouted, " Austin! What the shell did you do?!"
Austin shouted, " I was destroying this thing because it almost killed you!" Austin continued beating it with the axe until Leonardo took it away. He then went into the barn and came back out with a propane blowtorch.
Leonardo shouted, " Austin what is that?!"
Austin shouted, " It's a propane blowtorch!"
Leonardo shouted, " What are you going to do with it?!"
Austin shouted, " This!" and blasted fire at the woodchipper. The machine lit up like a firecracker. Austin was laughing like a maniac. Master Splinter was wondering what was going on and everyone started talking at once. But everyone shut up when Makayla walked up to Austin, slapped him across the face, and walked back to the house without saying a word. Austin tried to follow her trying to get her to talk to him but she kept ignoring him and slammed the door in his face. This silent treatment went on for several hours until Makayla finally decided to talk to Austin. The two of them argued about how Austin acted and it sounded like things weren't going to turn out good.
Austin shouted, " You know what?! Maybe we shouldn't be together anymore!" Makayla gasped at him and shouted, " I can't believe you would say that!"
Austin shouted, " Yeah well I just did!"
Makayla shouted, " Fine! Be that way! We're over!"
Austin shouted, " Makayla!" Makayla said nothing and slammed the door in his face. Austin walked out of the house and Master Splinter walked out after him. Both Makayla and Austin received lectures and were told that they shouldn't throw their entire relationship out the window just because of something this stupid. So the two teens took some time to breathe before going to find each other. Makayla found Austin sitting down by a creek.
Makayla says, " Hey."
Austin says, " Hey."
Makayla says, " Can we talk?"
Austin says, " Sure." Makayla sat down next to Austin.
Austin says, " What did you want to talk about Makayla?"
Makayla says, " I came to apologize for the way I acted."
Austin says, " You don't have to apologize Makayla. It was my fault. I shouldn't have acted like that in front of you. Can I tell you a secret?"
Makayla says, " Sure. What is it?"
Austin says, " I have a form of Autism that affects my behaviorial issues sometimes and I've been taking special medication for it but I forgot to take it this morning and that's why I acted like that."
Makayla says, " You have Autism? Why didn't you tell me?"
Austin says, " I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would never talk to me again because of it."
Makayla says, " Austin Richard Taylor, don't you ever think that I will never talk to you again because of something like this. I'm always going to be here for you no matter what."
Austin says, " Thanks Makayla. I'm just so stupid. I don't know what I was thinking."
Makayla says, " Look can we just continue our relationship and pretend like this didn't happen?"
Austin says, " Yeah. I'd like that."
Makayla says, " I love you."
Austin says, " I love you too." They kissed each other, hugged each other and walked back to the house.
Makayla says, " One more thing. I'm sorry I slapped you in the face."
Austin says, " It's ok. I forgive you for that. I deserved it anyway for how I acted in front of you."
Makayla laughs and says, " Oh Austin you're such a dork sometimes!" When they walked in they saw Morgan talking on the phone with someone and by the sound of her voice it didn't sound good. Morgan then hung up the phone and ran upstairs crying. Makayla ran after her best friend to see what was wrong.
Makayla says, " Morgan are you ok?"
Morgan cried, " No!"
Makayla says, " Well what happened?!"
Morgan cried, " I just got off the phone with my mom! She was talking to my aunt and she told me that my cousin Delaney has stage 3 breast cancer!"
Makayla sadly says, " What?!"
Morgan cried, " Yeah! And they're saying she only has 4 months to live!"
Makayla sadly says, " Oh Morgan I'm so sorry." Makayla embraced her best friend and just let cry on her shoulder.
Morgan cried, " She's only 14! She's too young to die!" Leonardo walked in and said, " What's going on?"
Makayla sadly says, " Morgan just found out that her cousin Delaney is dying."
Leonardo says, " Of what?"
Makayla sadly says, " Stage 3 breast cancer. Estimate is about 4 months to live."
Leonardo sadly says, " Oh Morgan that's horrible."
Morgan cried, " I know! The worst part about it is that she's 14 years old! She's too young!" 2 days later when they all returned to New York City, Morgan began spending as much time as she could with her cousin. It still made her sad that her cousin was dying but she didn't let that stop her.
Morgan says, " I'm really going to miss you when you're gone Delaney."
Delaney says, " I know. I'll miss you too Morgan."
Morgan says, " You were the best cousin I could ever ask for."
Delaney says, " You too. Just remember I'll always be in your heart."
Morgan cried, " I know!" The two of them hugged each other and cried. 4 months later Delaney died. Everyone came to the funeral including Makayla and her family. Everyone began sharing stories, laughs, and favorite memories of Delaney. Morgan went up to the podium and began telling a story about her cousin and how much she loved her.
Morgan sadly said, " My cousin Delaney was just a bright, young, beautiful, talented girl who was always smiling, laughing and never afraid to be who she really was. I was really close with her and I loved being around her. I remember 2 months ago we were sitting in the living room just talking and laughing like the old days. She looked at me and asked me if I knew what death was like. I said I don't know Delaney because I've never experienced it. So then she asked me if I could hold her hand when she passed on. I said yes I will Delaney. I will. Delaney was the sweetest person in the world and she will be deeply missed." Morgan walked away from the mic for a second and let some tears fall. Then she pulled herself together, walked back to the mic and sadly said, " At this time I'm going to sing a song. It's called Heaven Is A Place Nearby." The song began to play and Morgan sang, " I entered the room, sat by your bed all through the night. I watched your daily fight. I hardly knew. The pain was almost more than I could bare. And still I hear, your last words to me. Heaven is a place nearby, so I won't be so far away. And if you try and look for me, maybe you'll find me someday. Heaven is a place nearby, so there's no need to say goodbye. I wanna ask you not to cry, I'll always be by your side. You just faded away, spread your wings you had flown. Away to something unknown, wish I could bring you back. You're always on my mind, about to tear myself apart. You have a special place in my heart, always. Heaven is a place nearby, so I won't be so far away. And if you try and look for me, maybe you'll find me someday. Heaven is a place nearby, so there's no need to say goodbye. I wanna ask you not to cry, I'll always be by your side." Instrumental break. Then Morgan sang, " And even when I go to sleep, I still can hear your voice. And those words, I will never forget. Heaven is a place nearby, so I won't be so far away. And if you try and look for me, maybe you'll find me someday. Heaven is a place nearby, so there's no need to say goodbye. I wanna ask you not to cry, I'll always be by your side." The song ended and Morgan sadly said, " Rest in peace Delaney. I'll miss you." Morgan walked away from the mic and sat back down. 1 month after the funeral Morgan, Makayla, Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Master Splinter went to the cemetary. Morgan found her cousin's grave and they all gathered around it. The grave stone said:
Delaney Miranda Shroeder
June 3, 1997- September 17, 2003
Beloved daughter and cousin
Forever in our hearts
Morgan placed a bouquet of flowers on the grave and sadly said, " Hi Delaney. I just came by to visit you and to tell you how much I miss you. I wish you were still here but I guess that we have to move on without you. I will never forget you. I love you. Goodbye Delaney." Morgan felt a tear slide down her face followed by more tears. Makayla embraced her best friend and began shedding tears as well. Then Morgan pulled away after that and let out a loud depressing scream. She walked over to a nearby tree and began kicking it repeatedly. She was so upset that she didn't care that she was hurting herself. Donatello grabbed a hold of her and Morgan was still continuosly screaming and crying.
Donatello screamed, " Morgan calm down!"
Morgan cried, " No! I'm really upset right now!"
Donatello screamed, " We know that! But what you're doing is beating yourself up! Your cousin wouldn't want to see you doing that if she was still here!"
Morgan cried, " I know that! I'm not an idiot Donatello!"
Donatello says, " Then why are you doing this?"
Morgan cried, " Because you don't get it! Her and I grew up together! She was born one month after me! We've been together since birth! We were like sisters! We were really close! And when I was little Delaney was always there when I needed her! She would always make me laugh when I was upset about something! But now that one person who made everything better in my life is gone and she will never come back! I'll never see her or hear her voice ever again! Not to mention one time I promised her a week before she passed that I would take her to the beach but I ended up getting the flu and I had to tell her we couldn't go! And I didn't know that it was my last chance to see her alive! So do you see why I'm really upset about this Donatello?! I had to break a promise to my dying, cancer stricken cousin all because I got the flu! I'll never get another chance to make up for it because she's gone now! That was her last dying wish and I couldn't make it happen!"
Donatello says, " Well I didn't know that."
Morgan cried, " Yeah! That's why I'm upset! I made a promise to her but I had to break it because I got the flu! I feel so guilty about it and I was going to make it up to her! But before I even had the chance to she passed! So now I have to deal with that guilt for the rest of my life!"
Leonardo says, " Morgan we'll all help you get through this." 2 weeks later Morgan tried to commit suicide. She wrote two suicide notes. She left one at her house and the other at the lair. Everyone paniced when they saw the notes because both of them said that Morgan was going to walk in front of an oncoming train. They immediately drove up to the train station and saw Morgan about to step off the platform in front of an oncoming train. They all ran toward her screaming, " MORGAN! STOP!" In one swift motion Makayla grabbed her best friend by the arms and held her back just as a train rolled into the station. Morgan screamed and cried, " No! What did you do?!"
Makayla screamed, " I was saving your life!"
Morgan screamed and cried, " You ruined everything!" Morgan fell into Makayla's arms and began sobbing with tears. Makayla started sobbing too. 5 minutes later E. M. S. showed up and took Morgan to the hospital. Morgan woke up in a hospital room with her friends and family surrounding her.
Makayla says, " Hi Morgan."
Morgan softly says, " Hi."
Leonardo says, " You ok?"
Morgan softly says, " Yeah. I'm fine Leo."
Mrs. Shroeder says, " Morgan we were really worried about you."
Mr. Shroeder says, " Yes. Why would you try to commit suicide?"
Morgan softly says, " Because I feel guilty about breaking my promise to Delaney before she died."
Mrs. Shroeder says, " Honey that wasn't your fault. Everyone gets sick once in a while."
Makayla says, " Yeah don't blame yourself for that. You really scared the shell out of all us Morgan. I just saved your life. If I hadn't held you back you wouldn't be here. We already lost 3 friends I didn't want to lose my best friend too." Just then the doctor came in and said, " Mr. and Mrs. Shroeder can I talk to you out in the hallway for a second?"
Mrs. Shroeder says, " Yes doctor." The 3 of them stepped out into the hallway and Mr. Shroeder said, " So doc how is our daughter?"
The doctor says, " Well she seems to be in a state of depression. I suggest that she take Pristiq for 6 months and then we'll go from there."
Mrs. Shroeder says, " What is Pristiq?"
The doctor says, " Pristiq is an antidepressant pill that should help reduce your daughter's depression."
Mr. Shroeder says, " How often does she need to take it?"
The doctor says, " It's one pill a day for 6 months."
Mrs. Shroeder says, " Ok." 3 weeks later Morgan was starting to return to her normal self. She hung out with her friends all day then later that evening before she went to sleep she saw a shooting star in the sky so she made a wish. Then she went to bed. 4 days later a miracle happened. Morgan's cousin came back from the dead. Morgan was so happy that she prayed to god thanking him for granting her wish. Since then Morgan was back to her bubbly happy self. 4 weeks later Makayla made a new friend. The girl's name was Delaney Clements. Makayla and Delaney got along really well and they were hanging out with each other at the lair. 3 weeks later Makayla was hanging out with her friends at Max's house just laughing and having fun. Then Makayla and Max got into an argument about something. This went on for several minutes until Max angrily said, " You know what Makayla, I wish I never met you!" Makayla gasped and ran out of the house crying. Her friends followed out after her. It was cold and rainy outside. They all watched Makayla cross the street as a car was coming toward her.
They screamed, " Makayla! Look out!" Makayla stopped, turned her head and stood there frozen in the middle of the street like a deer caught in headlights. She let out a blood-curdling scream. Bam! The car hit her. Makayla's friends ran to her badly injured body laying in the middle of the street and Morgan screamed, " Help! Somebody call 9.1.1!" A bystander heard the screams and called 9.1.1. Police, Fire, and Emergency personel arrived on the scene within minutes of receiving the call. Morgan hit the emergency panic button on her shell cell and the turtles showed up minutes later. Morgan and the others were crying histerically.
Leonardo panically screamed, " Morgan what's going on?!"
Morgan cried, " Your sister got hit by a car!"
The turtles panically screamed, "What?!"
Donatello panically says, " Is she ok?!"
Morgan cried, " I don't know! They immediately took her to the hospital before we could find out!"
Leonardo panically says, " Then we need to go there right now you guys!" They all raced up to the hospital. They found Makayla's hospital room and walked inside. Makayla was laying in the bed unconscious, her head was bandaged, there was bandages on her face, she had a broken arm and broken leg, and she had a ventilator tube down her throat. To everyone she looked unrecognizable. Everyone was silent and the only sound that was heard was the steady, repetitative beeping sound from the heart monitor. Then everyone began sharing stories and tales of Makayla and how much she means to them. Max began to deeply regret what he said to Makayla. He started praying that she would pull through this somehow and be ok. Makayla's subconscious mind was telling her to give up but her heart was telling her to keep fighting until she couldn't fight anymore. Makayla was a strong fighter and her family and friends knew that. Master Splinter described his daughter as a strong ninja warrior who could fight against anything. He knew that his daughter would not give up for any reason ever.
Raphael sadly says, " Come on sis. Wake up."
Donatello sadly says, " Please Makayla. Don't give up."
Leonardo sadly says, " Yeah you can do it Makayla."
Michelangelo sadly says, " Fight as hard as you can Makayla. Don't give up."
Master Splinter sadly says, " Return to us my daughter." Over the next few days Makayla's friends and family kept a constant watch over her.
Raphael says, " Hey ya guys remember the day all 5 of us were cruising the sewer tunnels in the Sewer Slider listening to Rock and Roll All Night?"
Leonardo says, " Yeah Raph I remember that. We were singing, laughing, and being obnoxious."
Donatello says, " Yeah and Mikey was being stupid as usual."
Michelangelo says, " Come on Donny. Shut up."
Raphael says, " No you shut up ya bonehead. We're reviewing a flashback."
( Flashback)
One Thursday morning the 5 Hamato siblings were cruising the sewer tunnels in the Sewer Slider. They were singing and laughing together. The song that was playing was Rock and Roll All Night by KISS.
Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Makayla sang, " I wanna rock and roll all night! And party every day!"
( End of Flashback)
2 weeks later Makayla was hanging out with her friends at the lair just dancing and singing. Then all of a sudden there was a loud bang and all the lights blew out. This scared Makayla and her friends and they hit the floor.
Julia shockingly says, " What the shell was that?!"
Makayla shockingly says, " I don't know Julia!"
A random voice said, " Makayla Hamato, we need to speak to you."
Morgan shockingly says, " What did you do Makayla?!"
Makayla shockingly says, " I don't know Morgan!" The girls stood up and Makayla's family walked in too. Leonardo turned the lights on and said, "The Ninja Tribunal?!"
Makayla shockingly says, " Ok I don't understand what's going on here!" Two guards walked up to her and handcuffed her.
Makayla angrily screamed, " What are you doing?! What is the meaning of this?!"
Donatello angrily says, " Yeah why are you arresting our sister?!"
The tribunal leader says, " She's being arrested for murdering someone in the tribunal."
Makayla angrily says, " That's ridiculous! I never murdered anyone!"
The tribunal leader says, " Well do you care to explain this?" He showed her the security footage. It showed Makayla stabbing someone.
Makayla angrily says, " That is me but I didn't do it!" The two guards began walking her out of the lair and dragged her through an open portal. Donatello had secretly made a copy of the footage and took it to his lab for analysis. He was determined to prove that his sister was innocent. He was angry that she was wrongfully accused of something she didn't do. He knew very well that his sister was not a murderer. Meanwhile at Battle Nexus, Makayla was sitting on the floor in her cell facing the wall just angrily talking to herself.
Makayla angrily says to herself, " This is just great! I was hanging out with my friends doing absolutely nothing, then I get accused of something I didn't do and get thrown in jail! This sucks!" She gets up and kicks the door angrily several times. Then she begins to cry. Later Makayla was questioned about it and she kept telling them that she didn't do it. So Makayla went on trial 4 days later.
The tribunal leader says, " Makayla Lynn Hamato you are accused of murdering a member of the tribunal."
Makayla cried, " I swear I didn't do it!" Morgan stood up from the crowd and shouted, " My best friend is innocent! Leave her alone!"
The tribunal leader firmly says, " Silence! Sit down Morgan!" Makayla said in her head, ' How does he know my best friend's name?'.
Morgan shouted, " No! I will not stand for this!"
The tribunal leader firmly says, " If you don't sit down and be quiet Morgan you will be arrested for interference!"
Morgan shouted, " That's ridiculous!" Makayla turned her head around and shouted, " Morgan! Do what he said and shut up! Sit down!"
Morgan said, " Shutting up now." and sat down. The trial continued until the verdict was read. It was a verdict of guilty. Donatello stood up and firmly said, " Our sister is innocent!" Everyone gasped.
The tribunal leader says, " What do you mean by that Donatello?"
Donatello firmly says, " I mean I know who really did it!"
The tribunal leader says, " Well feel free to explain it."
Donatello firmly says, " Thank you!" and gets up in front of everyone.
Donatello says, " Now just so everyone knows I made a copy of the security footage. I analyzed it and I discovered that the image of my sister on it was fake. The real person who did it was Karai." Everyone gasped again.
The tribunal leader says, " Do you have any proof of this?"
Donatello says, " Yes I do and I'll show it to you." He aims the video at the wall. Then he says, " Now this the real security footage." and pressed play. Everyone began watching it and sure enough crystal clear the image showed that it was in fact Karai who did it.
Donatello says, " So you see that Karai did it and she just messed with the security footage to make it look like my sister did it. She framed my sister."
The tribunal leader says, " Very well. With this proof Makayla Lynn Hamato is free to go." Makayla's family and friends cheered.
Makayla excitedly screamed, " Have mercy! Thank you Jesus Christ!" and left with her family and friends. When they got back the lair Makayla threw her arms around her brother and excitedly said, " Donny you are the best brother ever! Thank you! You really saved me!"
Donatello says, " Oh it was nothing Makayla. I knew you didn't do it anyway." Just then Austin showed up and panically said, " Where is she?!"
Morgan says, " She's right there cassanova." Austin grabbed Makayla scaring the hell out of her.
Makayla screamed, " Holy shell you scared me Austin!"
