Angel: I don't know why, but they aired this and the next one back in October first instead of Man vs Sewer and The Mutant Menace. Maybe because it was the month of Halloween? Either way, they're still airing episodes out of order. If Nickelodeon wants to finish season 2 episodes, fine. But don't release em if season 1 wasn't even done!

Also, this and Lair Games were the last episodes to air on Nickelodeon. *sighs wearily* Because it's only on Nicktoons now…

This is exactly why I prefer Disney Channel, because they don't screw shows over!

Also, there might be some continuity issues since they changed the episode order, which makes sense given the ending of End Game. I did go back and re-read this along with the other episode when I saw the new order, but if I missed any, let me know please, in a polite way! And that is also why I did not put Ann or Lily into this episode or the next one (because in my defense, I had no idea when I was gonna use them)

"And as the spring breakers ran screaming, the sharks swam all the way home, belly full and ready for a good night's sleep," Splinter read to his beloved pet goldfish, Piebald. He was sitting in his armchair, smiling happily. "The end." He ran a hand over her eyes and she closed them. "Aww. Nighty-night, my pwecious little Piebald."

He placed the bowl on the table, kissing it lightly. The lights went out and she slept peacefully...until the turtles surrounded her in the shadows.

"Psst, Piebald. Dad's gone. You ready to play? Hmm?" Raph asked teasingly as they were all wearing sports gear.

Piebald swam around happily.

"Yeah!" Raph grabbed the bowl and he glared towards Mikey and Donnie.

"Okay," Leo stood between them, holding a disc. "Goalie ready?"

Piebald had gloves taped to her bowl, one of the gloves holding a hockey stick, with a hockey mask sitting in her bowl.

"Ready, set go! Ha!" He tossed the disc and it went flying, the other three attempting to catch it, but failing. They all started fighting for it, Piebald's bowl flying into the air. She looked around as the bowl fell to the ground, causing all four to gasp. The fish safely landed into her bowl, causing them to sigh in relief...but then the bowl cracked and broke into pieces.

All of them screamed as she landed in a tiny puddle of water. "Piebald needs water, fast!" Mikey shouted, pointing towards the fish.

Donnie pulls out two defibrillators. "Quick, get me two billion molecules of diatomic-"

Mikey and Leo pulled his arms away from Piebald. "Donnie..." Raph started off.

"Not helping!" The three finished, glaring at him. He sighed in defeat as his brothers let him go.

"You know, I wish you guys would take a greater interest in my science," Donnie ripped off the mask. "We're brothers, but sometimes it feels like we're just roommates."

"Donnie," Raph pointed at him. "If you don't cut it out with your middle child nonsense, I'm gonna shove your head in the-" He suddenly realized a solution to help Piebald. "The toilet!"

Piebald swam around in the dirty toilet water. It was dirty, but still breathable for the goldfish nonetheless.

"Good thinking, Raph," Mikey smiled proudly.

"Bravo. Okay, so now that Piebald's safe, game on!" Leo declared, throwing the disc again. It hit the pipe, then Raph's shell, Donnie's face, and ricocheted around the bathroom. It finally hit the flush lever, causing sewer water to emit from the ceiling.

"No!" Mikey cried out, reaching towards the toilet, trying to catch Piebald, but it was too late as she disappeared. "Piebald!"

She cringed up at him.

Mikey suddenly opens his eyes as he's sitting in his bed. "Oh...it was just a dream, Mikey," He rubs at his face. "We lost her a long time ago, and Leo was right. Hiding the truth beats being in trouble." Something drips from his wall and he looks up, screaming at the message that reads:

You flush me, I flush you.

"Oh...it's just some new graffiti." He places his blanket over himself. "That won't give me nightmares...huh?" He then notices the mirror, and reads the graffiti again, since it was written backwards on the wall. "You flush me, I flush you."

Mikey lets out another scream, running out of bed and heading towards Smith's Sweets.


Amy is sleeping peacefully in her bed, smiling as she dreams about her and Leo officially being an item. However, they still hadn't told the others yet. The two were trying to find the right time, which was difficult to do with all the Shredder stuff lately. After all, at first glance, it's hard to believe that they're officially a couple. Because...well...

It was obvious.

Amy didn't seem like the type to have a romantic relationship with anyone, and Leo was a wise-cracking younger turtle. Most of the time, it also seemed like Amy was trying to set them straight, rightfully so sometimes, and it usually never works. The two are complete, total opposites. Deep down, though...Leo is the only one who can break her tough-as-nails personality. And she's the only one who can make sure that both of them don't get into trouble, when it works.

And actually, she couldn't wait to see him again. She feels...excitement, one that's different from when she's hanging out with the others. It's weird to feel that way because it's Leo, but she liked that feeling. She liked feeling anything that she hadn't experienced for almost six years given her lifestyle at home. It was thrilling to be able to feel these emotions again after so long, even if she has to talk some sense into her friends once in a while.

Now she just has to find a way to tell her close friends that she has a turtle for a boyfriend, one that they'll never believe she'd consider dating, if ever...

Mikey bursts into her room, shaking her violently. "Amy! Come to my room, quick!"

"Mikey," She mumbles in sleep, throwing her pillow over her head. "I told you, stop coming over for me to help you with nightmares. You really should lay off the horror movies once in a while."

"No! Well..." He takes a moment to think. Maybe he could stop watching those movies for a while if she had to remind him without even opening her eyes... "No! It's becoming real! Pleaseeeee!" He begs, clasping his hands together with a pleading look.

"Why do you always come to me first anyway?" She mutters, rubbing a hand across her face as her hair is a tangled mess.

"Because you're like my older sister!" He exclaims, hugging her from behind. "You always look after me and help me even when I annoy the heck out of you! And you're way more mature than Raph is since he always teases me with stuff like this!"

"I just had to be a few months younger than Raph," She mutters, sitting up with a small sigh. "Fine. I'll go with you, but this is the last time!"


"Wait!" Mikey stammers once she and Leo are standing behind him in his room. She rubs at her eyes, seeing his wall has nothing on it, unlike he described to her on the way over here. By the way he told it, it seemed believable, but now she feels like an idiot for letting herself get dragged all the way down into the sewers for nothing. He's lucky that she's not working later on today, or else she'd really let him have it.

"Why am I not getting my beauty z's right now?" Leo yawns, stretching his arms and putting one over Amy's shoulder. "And he roped you into this too? My poor baby," He kisses her cheek with puckered lips and she rolls her eyes playfully.

"I had the feeling he wouldn't leave my room until I caved," She murmurs, letting out another yawn and giggling as he keeps kissing her cheek. "Stop it!"

"That is nasty!" Leo gives an annoyed look towards his brother for ruining the moment. "It was right here," Mikey insists to them. "I-I swear. It said, 'you flush me, I flush you.' She's back and—and—and she's mad at us!"

"Shh. I know you're not talking about the thing we talked about never talking about," Leo gives him an intense look. After the accidental flushing, Leo convinced his brothers not to tell the truth. Not only because it would crush their father's spirits, but because it was their fault that she got flushed. And they hadn't thought about Piebald since.

"It's Pie-"

Leo covers his mouth. "Not here," He drags Mikey away and they meet the others under the pouring rain on a rooftop.

"You gotta believe me!" Mikey tells them. "Piebald's back. She's after us because we flushed her!"

"Relax," Raph speaks up, wearing a retainer headset over his teeth. "I'm not a scientist, but this is 100 percent just your guilt glands secreting guilt-zymes into your central guilt-us system."

"I can't take him seriously with that thing on," Amy stifles a laugh, shaking her head. Leo has an umbrella over the two of them, so that his lady wouldn't get sick in the rain. But even if she did get sick, he'd drop everything and take care of her no matter what she says.

"Raph is right. He is not a scientist," Donnie has his arms crossed. "But separately, he's also right that this Piebald jazz is in your head," He flicks Mikey on the head.

"No, it's not!" Mikey tries to tell them again. "We have to tell Dad the truth."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa," Leo says quickly, pushing him away. "We're not telling Dad anything. Look, we all miss her, but a year ago, we stood on this roof and decided-"

"You decided," Mikey points an accusing finger at him.

"We decided to replace Piebald with an identical goldfish so Dad's heart wouldn't be broken."

"You replaced her with a rock," Amy deadpans to him.

"He wins, we win, and Piebald wins," Leo grins, pointing to Amy. "And you swore also not to tell him when we gave you the story!"

"Because it happened a month before I met you," Amy elaborates, glancing up at him. "I didn't approve of your decision then, and I still don't now, but I understand why you don't wanna tell him."

"Piebald got flushed is what we should tell him!" Mikey cries out. Donnie and Raph push down his head.

"Uh, if I may. Leo's idea about the whole not getting into trouble thing—very convincing," Donnie replies, Raph nodding in agreement.

"I second that."

Leo turns to Amy and she rolls her eyes. "Yes, I won't tell him. I may not like it, but I'm not gonna go back on my word." If it was something that would hurt Splinter, she didn't want to do that to him. Plus, she keeps her promises, always even if it was something that people should deserve to know about. However, she'd set the turtles on the right path if it was something incredibly stupid and tell them right to their faces if she had to.

"Looks like everyone agrees with me that we renew our pact of secrecy, and never tell Dad the truth," Leo smiles, holding out his hand. "One two three, let's go."

"Yada, yada, yada, eternal silence," Raph says as they all place their hands on top of each other. Mikey suddenly takes a hold of Amy's hand, surprising her.

"Huh?"

"Hey!" Leo immediately exclaims, "Mikey, let go of her-"

He realizes that Raph and Donnie are within view, and they're staring at him weirdly. Right now, he was acting like a jealous boyfriend, and not like someone who is supposed to pretend that he's not dating Amy. The girl gives him a look that says 'Don't do it.'

"I mean, w-what you doing there, Miguel?"

"Amy, hold me! I'm scared!" Mikey cries out, hugging her arm.

"Calm down, Mikey," Amy tells him, trying to ease him.

"Please!"

She sighs, glancing at Leo and nodding. "Alright." People might ask why she gives into him so easily; probably because he almost reminds her of her little sister...

Someone is watching them from the shadows while Leo is giving Mikey a slightly jealous look. That should be him wrapped around Amy, not his little brother.

"Amy, are you sure we shouldn't tell him?" Mikey looks up at her.

"No, but I'm not gonna challenge what was decided before we met each other," She explains to him, biting her lip. "I wasn't there, Mikey, remember? And like I said, I keep my word regardless if I disapprove."

"Back to the lair, guys!" Raph declares as a mutant wearing a dark cape is eyeing them, giving Amy the most glances. She narrows her eyes as bubbles come from her mouth.


Mikey is playing video games in the living room while everyone else has gone to sleep. Amy decided to stay the night in case Mikey decided to wake her up again. The youngest turtle sighs at Hot Soup: The Game on the screen.

"Maybe they're right...you just need to relax," He tells himself.

"Player two has entered the game!" A voice announces, but no one else is around.

"Huh?" He turns to the other controller in confusion.

"You flushed me," The controller wiggles on its own. "I flush you!" The same message appears on the game, causing him to shake in fear. The screen flickers before showing a dark forest and a toilet. A shadow lifts out of the toilet, the shadow moving around and laughing evilly at Mikey. He lets out a scream, running into the skate park.

"Don't flush me!" He runs with his eyes closed, bumping into Raph. Leo and Donnie are brushing their teeth.

"What?" Leo asks in annoyance, putting his toothbrush back in his mouth. Amy is standing next to him, fixing up her hair into a bun.

"It's Piebald! She's after me!" He cries out to them.

"Forget that name," Leo tells him sharply, "Does the pact of secrecy mean nothing to you? Bros, my lady~ I say we lock Mikey up till morning."

"What?!"

"Yes," Donnie nods in agreement.

"Yeah."

"No!" Mikey crawls up to Amy, hugging her waist. "Big sister, please don't let them lock me up!"

"Mikey, get off please," She tries to push him off, but he has a strong grip.

"Genius idea, Leo."

"Fantastic. My lady agrees," Leo gestures to her.

"Uh, that wasn't me talking," Amy says in confusion and they turn to the graffiti wall, where two eyes pop out of Amy's stargazer lily picture. Then a goldfish reveals herself.

"Hey guys, it's me, Piebald!" She fully reveals herself, "Remember? We used to be friends. But you replaced me with a human and now I wanna flush you!"

"I didn't replace you!" Amy shouts at her as everyone else besides Leo screams at her appearance. "I didn't even know about you until a few months later, Piebald. I didn't even want to keep it a secret, but I promised them."

"Okay, so she's a mutant," Leo says, Raph pulling the two away. They slowly run away into the tunnel, bumping into things along the way. Piebald stares after them intensely.

"Ah, I don't know what's more unsettling, the giant goldfish, or the possibility that Mikey may be right," Donnie bites his fingers, shaking in fear.

"And did you see her camouflage power? Class A," Leo couldn't help but admit.

"She's after us and Amy personally because we flushed her and covered it up. She thinks that we replaced her with Amy! Guys, we have to tell Dad the truth," Mikey shakes, hugging himself and Leo pushes him down.

"No way! The only responsible thing is to get rid of her before Dad finds out and then go back to pretending this never happened."

Amy crosses her arms at him. "Coming from someone who's older, that's not responsible, that's ridiculous. You can't just make her go away to solve the problem."

"Dove," He whispers, leaning in towards her. "I love you, and you know I respect your opinions, but I know what I'm doing."

"Solid solution, Leo," Raph states, Piebald's bowl being placed in front of them.

"Hello, fish food!"

The turtles let out a scream, Amy pinching her nose at her friends. Splinter stares at them through the bowl. "What? Just grabbing a late night snack for my sweet, precious Piebald." He throws fish food into the bowl, where a rock is sitting there with googly eyes. "Say, why do you look like you have something to confess?"

They all gasp, eyes widening as they're all directing towards Mikey. The four decide to keep themselves busy so that Splinter doesn't suspect anything else different, the youngest sweating a lot. He stares at the fake Piebald, the guilt eating at him.

"You will pay for this! And I will make sure that you never replace me again!"

"Don't you rat us out to the rat," Leo warns him as he can feel Mikey starting to crack. He looks at Splinter giving him a raised eyebrow, and then at the rock, one of the eyes falling.

"Dad," He stands up, hands on the table. "The truth is..."

The rat stops feeding 'Piebald,' waiting for an answer. Mikey whimpers, playing with his hands. "We-I, uh—we—I-"

"Snitches get stitches," Leo whispers, holding a frying pan in his hands. Amy snatches it from him and lightly whacks him on the head. "Oww."

"And secret boyfriends don't threaten to hit their brothers with kitchen utensils," Amy hisses lightly at him. "And after I bake so many things for you. For shame! What's next, you're gonna replace my pet pig if he ever gets lost with you?"

"No, of course not!" He assures her, leaning in towards Donnie. "Quick, when she leaves, replace the rock that looks like a pig."

A small fart is heard. "I tooted..." Mikey looks away guilty and Amy puts the pan back into place.

"Ugh, back to beddy-bye, Piebald," Splinter walks away with the bowl. Leo sighs in relief.

"Way to throw Dad off the scent," He places an arm around his brother, who is frowning towards the ground. He sniffs the air. "Oh, you weren't joking," Leo pushes Mikey away. Amy takes one sniff and covers her nose.

"Eww. Guys, if you keep this up, she'll come after me for the misunderstanding," She stares at all of them. "Since the mutation gave her the ability to talk, can't we just tell her what happened?"

"No! Okay, let's suit up, stat!" Raph orders them, Leo and Donnie saluting. Some of the spit lands on Amy.

"Dude, say it, don't spray it."

The rest of the kitchen utensils fall on them, putting them on alert. They decide to use them as weapons against her, Amy pulling out her gun and readying the shells. "She could be behind us or in front of us. Mellie, no guns!" Raph holds a ladle in his hand. Amy grins at him.

"I was only kidding," She puts it away.

"The only thing we know for sure is she's not right here." A hook appears in front of him, and drags him away.

"Agreed, and Mikey, you did the right thing not telling Dad. In the end, lifetime of guilt and regret will be its own reward," The same hook suddenly snatches him away and Amy suddenly drops the whisk, eyes widening. Guilt and regret...things that she felt when her father passed away in her eyes...she snaps out of it. She was only a child back then, there was nothing she could've done.

Leo laughs a little. "Well said, Donnie."

Piebald lands behind the three. "You're not off the hook yet!"

Their eyes widen, turning around to face Piebald, but they don't see her. A bubble appears out of nowhere, heading towards the trio. They just stare at it as it gets closer. Piebald suddenly pops it with her face, scaring even Amy as the three scream. They slide around the corner.

"Flee!" Leo tells the two.

"Ohmigosh!" Mikey yells as Amy trails behind them.

"You know, I never thought I'd be scared of a fish until today! This is why I hate seafood!"

They hide themselves in the Turtle Tank, locking all doors and windows. Both turtles are whimpering, hugging Amy close. She gives a slightly annoyed look.

"Do guys think I'm a teddy bear or something?"

"We have to go back for our brothers," Mikey gestures towards outside. "Or are you gonna replace them, too?"

Leo looks up from a rock, glue, and googly eyes. Amy facepalms at him as he looks like a deer in headlights.

"When will the lies end?!" Mikey demands to him.

"I don't lie, I just change the truth," Leo explains, the brunette scoffing.

"You do realize that's the same thing as lying." At the back of her head, she wonders if he'd ever replace her too.

"And you will keep your mouth shut," Leo grabs Mikey by the collar, pointing at him. Amy slaps his hand away when something bangs on the door. The window shimmies open and the two mutants shake, feeling fear again. "Who-who's there?" Leo stammers nervously, teeth chattering from the both of them. "Donnie? Santa?"

There's no answer, which doesn't ease them as someone appears behind Amy. "Buddies!"

They all scream before noticing that it's Frankenfoot, Raph's origami ninja sparring partner. "Wait," Mikey looks out the window.

"Buddies! Mellie!" He cries out happily.

"Frankenfoot!" Mikey yells, opening up the window. "Frankenfoot, quick, get inside," He pulls him inside, "There's a mutant goldfish."

Before Amy could close the door, Frankenfoot is pulled outside and the door closes. "Whoa!" Mikey hides in his shell, Leo grabbing him and Amy.

"Out the floor hatch, fast!" He throws his brother into a hole in the floor and he falls inside, jumping into the hatch with Amy. They fall through the floor, ending up underneath the Turtle Tank.

"Caught ya, confetti boy!" Piebald laughs as Frankfenfoot is shredded into pieces.

"Oh no!" Some tears fall from Leo's eyes as Amy has her mouth wide open in shock.

"Ninja crawl-jitsu," Leo pushes Mikey across the floor, Amy crawling next to him. The two scream before Mikey gets caught in the hook, getting dragged away into the darkness.

"LEOOO! AMYYYY!"

"Mikey!" The two shout.

"Okay...keep your wits, keep your charm, and do what any mature and brave individual would," Leo crawls out of the Turtle Tank with Amy. "We're gonna tell him!"

"Oh finally," Amy murmurs in relief, rubbing a temple.

Leo bursts through the doors of Splinter's room. "Daddy!" He then sees Splinter hanging from the ceiling by a hook. "Papa!"

Two eyes appear as Piebald reveals herself again. "The flushing is nigh!"

"...Huh?" Leo asks in confusion, realizing he doesn't know what that means. Amy shakes her head at him, not even bothering to tell the turtle herself.

"Nigh means soon, kid. Read a book. Can't believe you're his girlfriend, Amy."

She suddenly disappears, Leo stammering in shock and looking around, but there's nothing in sight.

"Wait, how does she know about us?!" Amy asks in surprise, her mouth wide open. She didn't know Piebald back then, and they weren't even going out at the time; so how'd she find out?

"Oh boy," Leo lets out a small sigh. A trail of bubbles comes from the tunnels as they peek outside. "Okay, no time to think this through. My family needs me. You were right, dove, it's not the right thing to do by not telling Pops."

Going out into the sewers, the two sneak around the corner, following the bubbles. "Look out, Piebald, the saving is nigh," He suddenly smiles at Amy. "I learned book words!"

She chuckles and the smile drops once they see a rope in the distance. Piebald can be heard laughing as the others are tied up, dangling over a whirlpool of sewer water.

"Once I find the bluefin and dispatch of the angelfish, it's flushing time," She sings, holding a hook for them to see. "You know what a scream sounds like underwater?" She gurgles in imitation of herself when she fell.

"Okay," Leo presses his shell against the wall. "I should've thought this through. Come on, Leo. Think." He places his hands over his face, which have gray paint over them. He looks at his hands, getting an idea. "Piebald may have camouflage, but I have pajama-flage," He covers himself in paint, grinning as he glances behind him.

Amy also covers herself up with paint, Leo glancing at her. "Hm..."

"What?"

"Seeing you camouflaged...I think I'm falling in love with you all over again."

"Oh really?" She smirks a little before dropping it. "How do I know you're not just changing the truth again?"

"Huh?!" He blinks rapidly, "I-I..."

"Are you gonna replace me too someday?" She murmurs, looking away. She knew she wasn't wasting time; Piebald said so herself that once she finds them, she'll flush them, so technically they're not in danger right now. If something ever happened to her that she'd might not be with them anymore...would Leo find someone else? She wouldn't be able to deal with that...especially after what she did to Draxum…

Leo cups her cheeks with his hands, staring at her right in the eye. "Hey. No matter what happens to you, no matter what you do, say, or think...you're still Alina Elisa Santiago, and you will always be my girl even if you somehow manage to die before I do. I would never replace anyone like you, ever."

Her eyes start to get watery from the sweet words that he just said to her. She grabs his shoulders and crashes his lips to hers in a deep, heartfelt kiss. Leo is a bit startled before he starts kissing her back, hugging her waist tightly. They temporarily forget that Piebald is threatening the others because at that moment, they don't seem to care or mind and just continue their moment.

"What did we ever do to deserve thi-oh, right, right, the flushing," Donnie corrects himself as Piebald jumps away from them.

"You dumb disc-slingers flushed me alive and replaced me with an imposter so my own loving father didn't know I was missing. Not to mention you got a sister! Who does that?! I was lost and alone and some trash wizard tried to eat me. But my flavor was too robust, and I escaped. I was forced to embrace the sewer circle of life and eat things I am not proud of."

Apparently, when she was flushed a year ago, she wandered around in the waters. The trash wizard that the turtles and Amy met while trying to deal with returning the DVD tried to eat her, but then threw her up back into the sewers. As soon as she left his stomach, she ate an oozesquito a few moments later, turning her into who she is today.

"Now you losers can feel what it's like to be mutants and live in the sewers."

"That's already our thing," Leo speaks up from above. He and Amy had stopped making out a few moments ago. "Surprise attack, nigh!"

The two jump, covered in paint. "What the-" She glances over her shoulder, using her camouflage to disappear. Amy and Leo roll down the grate, the paint flying off them.

"Huh?" Leo lifts his head up, only to see a hook in front of them.

"Now that the whole family's here, it's time for my flushing revenge! But thank you for bringing her to me," She points her hook at Amy, who backs away a bit. "Now you can watch her perish!"

"We never meant to flush you, and we didn't replace her with you. We met her a month later! It was an accident, honest. How about we make it up to you with a nice dinner out? Sushi? I mean fish and chips, er, branzino? Why can't I stop suggesting fish?! Oh, I got it, Amy can make you a dessert!"

"Why are you bringing me into this?!" Amy gestures to herself.

Piebald laughs as she raises her arm, swinging at them. Leo grabs the hook, looking up towards the awake Splinter.

"Sorry, Dad. It was me who made everyone keep the secret from you. And when we met Ames, she was against it when we told her, but I made her lie too." He manages to lift the hook away from his face. "Flush me and let my family go, and don't hurt Ames either."

Piebald just laughs at the offer. "Let your family go. I love that idea," She cuts off the net, causing them to fall towards the whirlpool. Piebald grabs Amy, pressing the hook against her neck, the girl growing pale at the weapon in front of her.

"I love you guys!" Leo cries out as he tries to reach for the rope, but suddenly it cracks and it lifts them up into the air, placing the four back on the bridge. Piebald releases the brunette. "Huh?" Leo gasps as he sees them, laughing as he and Amy share a group hug with them.

Splinter suddenly laughs, confusing them. "And that is why you always tell the truth."

Piebald laughs along with them, pointing at the group. "Got ya! You should see your faces."

"Wait, what?"

"What did—you-"

"Did-"

"After a year, I made my way home, only to find a googly-eyed rock living in my fishbowl," Piebald holds up the fake fish in the bowl. "Poor form, guys."

"I was shocked to discover you boys had lied to me and roped Amelia into it. So we planned this whole thing to teach you a lesson," Splinter grins at them, Raph mostly unamused.

"I...don't know...how to feel now," Mikey admits slowly.

"Wait a minute!" Amy shouts, standing up in shock. "You pointed a hook at me to teach me what?"

"Oh, nothing," Splinter shrugs at her. "Just incentive for not telling me. I know you always keep your word, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't say anything."

She stammers in disbelief, eyes twitching in...well, she didn't know how she should feel. "My children, you know I love you, but you only remember lessons when you learn from them the hard way," Splinter crosses his arms, shaking his head. "So, remember, lying is bad, and Dad is good. Night, night!" He turns around, showing that Frankenfoot is actually okay and not in pieces.

"Buddies! Mellie!"

Piebald points at them, winking. "Later, turds. Oh, and don't worry, Amy, I appreciate what you've done for them and trying not to get them in trouble. But, you and Leo should really tell them about you two."

They stand in there in silence, unsure of what to do now. One thing they can take away from this, is that they'll never lie to Splinter again. Amy is still shocked, however.

"Did...I just get played by Splinter and a mutant fish?" She murmurs slowly. They actually had her thinking that Piebald was gonna hurt her as part of her plot of revenge. Amy couldn't help but slow clap, impressed by their plan. "That...was good."

Leo glances at her and pulls the girl away from the others. "What is it?" She looks up at Leo, who takes a deep breath.

"Lying is what caused all of this...I could've lost you," He frowns at her. "From now on, I won't lie to you. And...I'm sorry I asked you to keep a secret from Pops."

She just smiles, placing a hand on his shoulder. "You might be a compulsive liar, but you're still you. I wouldn't ask for less."

He grins and hears someone clear their throat. Turning around, they see the smug looks of the others. "What are you two doing, hm?" Raph asks playfully. Just because they think, or rather just Raph and Donnie, that the two would never be a couple doesn't mean they can't tease them.

"Nothing," They both deny at the same time.
