"So how're we getting to New York then?" Raph asked as Lizzy handed them breakfast. It was the first time they'd had a proper meal in a while and they were enjoying it.
"I have a few... friends that can help us," Lizzy replied, sitting down herself.
"Mutants right?" Lizzy nodded in response.
They heard the front door open and in the doorway was another mutant. They were a humanoid fox and was wearing a ragged blue shirt and ripped jogger bottoms: a neckercheif covered their throat and they were wearing a RobinHood like hat only it was black and had a white feather.
"Hey Elsie," Lizzy greeted the fox and handed her a cup of tea.
"Hey Liz," The mutant grunted and sat down. She stared at the turtles before turning to the lizard. "So who are these two?"
"This is Raph and this is Mikey," Lizzy pointed at each of them in turn, Mikey blushing a deep scarlet when she pointed at him.
"So these two are the people you're going to N.Y.C with?" Elsie asked.
"Yep, thats why I asked you to come here because I know you want to go back and find your little sister," As Lizzy said this Elsie looked at the floor, eyes brimmed with tears. "We'll need a vehicle to get there, we'll help you make it,"
Elsie nodded. They started to make plans and wrapped up in their planning, non of them noticed Mikey had disappeared until they were interrupted by a soft singing, a voice Raph knew all too well. The three mutants peeked their heads out of the door and saw Mikey himself singing in a soft voice.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,"
The three found themselves stepping forward to listen, entranced by the song.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,"
Lizzy started harmonising with him softly.
"Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher
See the champions, take the field now, unify us, make us feel proud,"
Mikey turned, startled that they'd been listening to him but carried on singing non the less.
"In the streets our heads are lifting, as we lose our inhibitition,
Celebration, it surrounds us, every nation, all around us,"
Elsie simply cocked her head. She'd met this turtle mere minutes ago and he was now singing a football song or soccer as its called in England (which isn't true we still call it football). Despite this it was quite inspiring and soon the fox mutant found herself singing along, all the sadness, guilt and bitterness washing away.
"Singing forever young, singing songs underneath the sun,
Lets rejoice in the beautiful game, and together at the end of the day..."
The three turned to Raph who still wasn't singing along. Muttering to himself, Raph held his head up and sang along.
"We all say,
When I get older, I will be stronger,
They'll call me freedom,
Just like a wavin' flag,"
Smiling to himself, Mikey sang the loudest of all. It was true, he was hurting inside but a song like this could motivate anyone- even if it had nothing to do with their current situation.
"And then it goes back,
And then it goes back,
And then it goes back,
And then it goes...
When I get older,
I will be stronger,
They'll call me freedom,
Just like a wavin' flag,
And then it goes back,
And then it goes back,
And then it goes back,
And then it goes..."
They stopped. None of them remembered the rest of the song. Elsie grinned at Mikey.
"You're not a bad singer kid, keep it up," She patted him on the shoulder and he beamed. Lizzy chuckled.
"Well I think that its time for lunch," She said and they all went back inside. However, before Mikey went back in Lizzy stopped him.
"Look, that was really sweet what you done back their. We could all use a little bit of hope in our lives and you brought it," She blushed. She couldn't help but notice the way Mikey's eyes always had a bright sparkle in them and the way his shell was so smooth.
Mikey grinned at her, a blush forming on his cheeks. Now he understood why Leo and Donnie were always so desperate to please their crushes. It spread a warm happy feeling through his chest.
He hadn't realised but Lizzy's cottage was quite high up and they could see the sun shining over the countryside.
"Its so beautiful," Lizzy sighed and turned to him. "Lets go have some lunch Mikey,"
As she walked back into her house Mikey stared after her, lovestruck. She was so gentle and so caring.
Mikey grinned like a madman and strolled inside, sitting next to Lizzy and discussing the plans to get back to New York with her and the others.
Sure he missed New York City but for now, he could get used to this.
