Chapter 1
p The girls, now five and six, and the guys 11, were sitting in front of Master Splinter. Master Splinter just allowed one afternoon a month, usually on the first Saturday for his sons and daughters to ask any question that they may of wanted to ask within reason without the subject being changed. Those days were dubbed 'Ask Splinter Day' among the kids. Everyone had their questions asked, but one major question among the girls hung in the air like a dense fog. For the past week, the girls fought among themselves on who was going to ask the question. Finally they drew straws, and Fae was the one who had to ask the question.
Silence fell among the girls for a minute while those who were next to Fae nudged her to ask. Finally she got the courage and rose her hand so Splinter could call on her to talk.
"Danceingfae, you may ask your question." Master Splinter calmly spoke with a smile.
"Thank you, Sensei. What I wanted to ask is this. Where did we come from and how we got our names?" Fae replied nervously.
Splinter went silent for a second, closed his eyes, and sighed. He suspected when Danceingfae said she wanted to know her past, the other girls wanted to know also.
This day has come for the girls to know. /i Master Splinter thought to himself.
Opening his eyes, he looked at each of the girls. As Master Splinter looked at the girls, each of them had the same inquizative look on their faces, giving him the notion that they were all in on this question and was expecting him to answer.
"Very well, my child. I will tell you and the others my story on how I found you and gave each of you your names. Since the boys already know about the story, they are excused if they wish to not hear this tale." Master Splinter spoke in a calm, soft tone.
Leo got up to meditate and practice katas, Donny went off to fix things, while Raph and Mike stayed to listen. Before starting the story, Sensei suggested that everyone should go to the bathroom and get something to drink before he started the story. The girls bowed, left and did what they had to do before returning. A few minutes later, Lenni being last with a glass of water in her hand, everyone was sitting where they were before they left.
"Now the story will begin." Master Splinter said before clearing his throat.
Everyone settled down on their stomachs, propped atop a pillow, and legs waving in the air.
