OK Peeps I've been thinking about it for a while but I've decided I'm finally gonna do it! I'm gonna make a story based on an idea I had inspired by one of the episodes of the 80s Turtles series but done with the 2003 Turtles and taking the subject matter much more seriously, I know a lot of us like to make fun of the 80s series for numerous plot holes and animation errors but I realized there were a lot of intriguing ideas (Mostly done parodying other pop culture) that do have the potential to be explored with much more seriousness. OK enough beating around the bush the episode in question is Turtles of the Jungle which was mostly just an excuse to parody King Kong with Donatello being enlarged to 30 feet tall so he can duke it out with a scientist's pet monkey made giant and on a rampage kidnapping April, leaving the King Kong parody aside I realized Don in my stories does have a reason he would want to be larger, because his wife is an Asiatic Dragon who normally walks on all fours to fit in places. Even after his growth spurt where he's as tall as Casey when Belladonna stands upright he only stands to where her belly would be, so previously I've stated Belladonna is 30 feet tall when she stands upright that's just a case of I can't do math and she's 20 feet tall when she stands upright.

It was already a strange weekend, with the announcement the Fellowship Crew would finally travel to Edward Green's home planet of Viola Strierra to liberate all the enslaved Humanimals there, after Marzipan's uncle Asparagus came to Earth in a makeshift Pod telling Marzipan her family was alive and in hiding in the Downdeep-Downdeep of Viola Strierra, the Fellowship realized they could no longer wait they must make their move on one of the Strongest Wrangler planets of the Empire! Upon learning his niece had fallen in love with the son of two of Gotham's most notorious Gotham Rogues, Scarecrow and Poison Ivy Gus was immediately displeased but they were able to calm him down and eventually when him over with the help of Marzipan's magic help Gus recreate his greatest performance as Growltiger from the Musical Cats! (Before the Wrangler Invasion Gus was a Theatre Actor and yes, on Mizzer they did a performance of Cats performed entirely by Cat Humanimals, some would say it was the way it was always meant to be played)

But that initial scare with her Uncle who was the most easygoing of her family got Marzipan worried about the rest of her family, her parents were much more strict and viewed Uncle Gus as an embarrassment even as they took their daughters to see his plays and Marzipan was enchanted by them and dreamed the thrill of show business only she wanted to be the director she wanted to make the stories not play a part in someone else's stories.

And Ichabod also worried he remembered the massive blow-up he had with his parents over the fact he had fallen in love with a Humanimal and it taken nearly a year before they reconciled, now his Father was the most ardent supporter of their relationship while his Mother just sort of accepted it…

To help soothe them before the mission was to take place, Fossil offered to take them to special trip in a Humanimal Village in the Central American Rain Forest. He led to a network of Sea Caves that were said to be sacred places,

"There is some ancient writing here…" Fossil said peering at some Humanimal code carved into the cave wall "I think this is the story of Belldandy, a Genie-like spirit who wanted to help people by granting their wishes but ended up causing more problems because the humans don't actually know what they want and so granting only their selfish wishes caused chaos and strife so finally the Humanimal Shaman banished Belldandy deep underground to remove the temptation of her from the humans."

Ichabod, Bill and Donatello had come with Fossil to the caves so Fossil could perform a ritual to 'renew their spirits' as he left to get the materials needed for the ritual the three young men sat down and sighed.

Noticing how somber Ichabod appeared Don said "Still worried about meeting your in-laws huh?"

Ichabod could only nod, Don felt sympathy for the young Humans, but was struggling to think of anything he could say to help him feel better.

"Well…" He said "…In some ways I envy you and Marzipan…He began to think…Watching you two dance and realizing I'll never be able to do that with Belladonna because of our difference in size…When we get married she's gonna carry ME over the threshold…and sometimes I wish…I could be the right size to dance with her…"

And just a moment after he that he felt a sting where his shoulder met the neck like the bite of a mosquito but he could see nor hear any mosquito…

And that's when he began to feel a tingly feeling over as began to grow and grow until he was 20 feet tall!

Then he heard the sound of Velociraptor shriek and he saw Fossil had returned just in time to hear him wish and had seen what had happened

"By the Great Spirit!" Fossil exclaimed "Did you not see by the story on the wall that Belladandy was hear in the caves! That to wish for something in Belldandy's presence will cause her to grant it?!"

"Shell!" Don exclaimed "I wish to be normal size again! I wish to be normal!"

"It doesn't work like that…" Fossil sighed "Belladandy can see into your heart and sees that your first wish is something you actually wanted I'll have to do some research and see what can be done about it, but for now you're stuck like this…"

So yeah got the set up with the juicy enlargement scene hopefully we can have more giant shenanigans in later chapters but for now I'm just really content with how this chapter turned out oh and it kind of establishes Don and Belladonna are still yet to be married as their first attempted wedding was a fiasco and I have it in my head that Don and Belladonna married in the Fourth of July so this story is probably taking place in June
