Mikey ran through the lair, tying his bandana. He had finally gotten
a chance to take a shower, and was ready for the party. He had agreed to
let Master Splinter watch over his cooking food while he finished getting
ready. Reaching the kitchen, he walked inside and nodded to Master
Splinter. "Thank you Master, I can take it from here. I'm ready to go."
Splinter smiled at his youngest son and returned his nod. "I'm glad to
hear that my son, excuse me while I check up on your brothers." With that
Splinter turned and walked out of the kitchen. Mikey knelt down and slowly
opened the door, checking on his food. Satisfied that it was doing fine,
he walked into the dining room to check on the plates. Before he could get
there, Donny called him from another room. "Hey Mikey, I've just spotted
them parking in the garage. They should be here in a minute. You'd better
get everyone." Hearing this, Mikey turned and headed towards the dojo.
Opening the door, he was surprised to see Casey there with Shadow. "Hey
you two, when did you get here?" He asked as Shadow ran for her hug.
Picking her up, he turned to Casey as he said, "We just got here, Raph saw
us come in and wanted to show Shadow some new move he had learned." Mikey
smiled, and, putting Shadow down, said "they're here. Let's go upstairs."
Venus was on the edge of her seat the whole way back to the lair. She couldn't wait to see her brothers and Master Splinter. She wondered what kind of party they were throwing for her, and why they were making such a big deal about her coming back. It wasn't like she had been living in another country or anything. She was only gone for a few months, and she hadn't gone that far either. Sighing, she looked back out the window as all of the sites of New York whizzed past her. When the car stopped suddenly, she turned to April who smiled and said "we're here." Venus opened up the door and stepped out. Seeing the garage where her brothers stashed their vehicles made her smiled. "It's good to be home," she thought, and followed April down to the lair, with Devon and Akira walking slowly behind.
Donny watched as Venus slowly walked down the ladder back into their home. He smiled to see that she looked so happy to be home. Mikey was the first to come up to her and give her a huge hug. Master Splinter was next, followed by Raph. Leo slowly and stiffly walked up to her and squeezed her, and then she turned to him. Donny silently reminded his self about the vow he had made, and reached for her. Giving her a quick hug, he released her. Seeing the look on her face made him realize that maybe she really did still care for him. Cringing inside, he watched as Mikey lead her to the dining room, where he had prepared a feast to welcome her back.
After dinner and desert, Casey grabbed the almost-asleep Shadow and said good night. Once they left, Master Splinter suggested that they unload Venus's things from Aprils' van so she could go home. They all agreed, and went out to pick up her things, leaving Venus and Master Splinter alone to talk.
Splinter looked as his daughter carefully. He knew that something was not right with her, and he wanted to know what it was. He didn't want her to be unhappy, not after all she and his sons had been though. Taking a deep breath, he gently touched her on her shoulder. "My daughter," he said, "What is troubling you so?"
