Chapter 6.

Spike Wolf

On another one of the tall buildings of MonGoose City called Anthro-partment lived Nancy Wolf and her 7 year old son Spike Wolf, Nancy had moved to MonGoose City 4 days after Spike was born because she wanted her son Spike to have a better life and decided that living in MonGoose City would be much better than living the Alaskan countryside.

Spike sat on the sofa looking so bored while watching Nancy hoover the floor and as he did so, he took a deep breath and sighed quietly.

"What's the matter darling?" Nancy asked Spike.

"Oh, I'm just bored," said Spike.

"Really?" asked Nancy.

"Yeah," Spike replied with a nod.

"I have an idea," said Nancy.

"Yeah? What is it?" Spike wanted to know.

"Why don't you go out and make friends?" suggested Nancy.

"Well, I guess that's a good idea," said Spike.

So Spike climbed off the sofa and walked over to the door of the apartment and he turned his head towards Nancy.

"Are you sure, Mom?" Spike asked her.

"I'm sure, darling," said Nancy. "You might even find someone who will want to be your friend right away."

"Okay if you say so," said Spike and he opened the door, went out and closed the door.

Nancy, on the other hand, stayed inside the apartment.

"I hope he'll find someone who's right for him..." she muttered to herself.


Meanwhile in the MonGoose City Park, Leonardo, Tony and Echo were playing football with Leonardo's football and not long after they'd started playing, Spike arrived at the park and looked over at them.

"Maybe they can be my friends," Spike said to himself and so he took a deep breath, exhaled and went over to them.

"Hey Leonardo! Over here!" Echo shouted.

Leonardo heard her and kicked his football toward her, Echo dribbled the ball and then kicked it towards Tony and Tony kicked it toward Leonardo. Leonardo was about to take another kick when he noticed Spike walking towards him and his friends.

"Hey, guys, look!" Leonardo said to his friends.

Tony and Echo looked at Spike, who was walking towards them.

"Um, excuse me..." Spike started. "I just wanted to say hi to you guys."

"Who are you?" Echo asked.

"I'm Spike," Spike replied.

"Nice to meet you Spike," said Leonardo, "I'm Leonardo Turtle and these are my friends Tony Lion and Echo Fox."

"It's nice to meet you too guys" said Spike.

"Why do you want to say hi to us?" asked Tony.

"So here's the thing," Spike started, "I was bored at my apartment, and my mom suggested that I go out and make some friends."

"So that is why you wanted to say hi to us?" Leonardo asked.

"Yeah, pretty much," Spike replied.

"Maybe we can be your friends," Echo said.

Spike smiled. "That'd be great," he stated.

Leonardo smiled and held out his right hand towards Spike and he took it before they shook hands.

"Welcome to the group Spike," said Leonardo.

"Thanks, Leonardo," Spike replied gratefully.

"Do you want to play football with us?" asked Tony.

"Sure!" Spike replied.

"Very well," said Leonardo and he kicked the ball towards Spike, Spike smiled and kicked the ball toward Echo and then Echo kicked the ball toward Tony and Tony laughed as he kicked it toward Leonardo and Leonardo kicked the ball right towards the goal.

"Got it!" he called.

"Goal!" shouted Tony, Echo and Spike.

Spike smiled and turned to Leonardo and said:

"Thank you for asking me to be your friend I have a feeling we'll get along great."

"I know we will," said Leonardo.
