Weeks after visiting his brothers' graves, Mikey still can't help missing his brothers. Although his brothers had sent him a message saying that he is not alone, he couldn't help feeling a tad lonely. Even though Casey and April kept him company, they were still too busy helping to track the Shredder down to talk to him ALL the time. Instead, he spent his time sketching and writing in his diary. However, a miraculous thing happened when he was thinking about his brothers.
He was by a desk in his room, looking at a photograph of him and his family, his complete family. "I do miss you, bros..." Suddenly, 3 butterflies with different colours flew into his room. They flew onto his desk, attracting his attention. "Where did you cute things come from?" He snapped out of his train of thoughts. Just then, he felt that something was fishy. "Wait...I thought that butterflies are supposed to be on the surface, with flowers and grass around them. What are they doing here underground and in the sewers?" He thought. What was even stranger, was that the 3 butterflies have different colours.
"Blue, red and...purple?" He thought. "Why do they look so familiar? I must have seen it somewhere." Just then, something snapped in his mind. "Those are Leo, Raph and Donnie's favourite colours..." He thought about his fallen brothers sadly. "I miss them..." Just then, the 3 butterflies flew around him and to his surprise, the blue one appeared to have kissed him on the cheek. "Woah, what was that all about?" The purple one landed on his shoulder while the red one landed on his head.
Suddenly, a warm feeling came in. "Leo...Donnie...Raph? Is that you?" The butterflies seemed to have answered him, as they flew back to the desk, seemingly looking at him. "You came back, didn't you..." Mikey did not finish, as he cried on the desk, not with sadness, but with happiness. "Thanks, bros, you guys are the best bros a turtle could have." The butterflies landed on his arm. Just then, a T-Phone rang. The butterflies landed on his shoulders while Mikey took out his T-Phone and answered it.
"Hi April...What? You found who?...Ok, I am on my way." Mikey hung up his phone and rushed out. The butterflies flew onto the desk again. A few minutes later, he rushed into his room. The butterflies looked at him questioningly. "It's April. She said that they captured Rahzar. They thought that maybe he could serve as a lead. I got Master Splinter, so I got to get ready..." The butterflies flew towards him and landed on his head. They did not look like they would be flying anywhere anytime soon.
"...There is no getting rid of you, is there?" When the butterflies stood still on his head, he laughed happily. His brothers will not be going anywhere, they will be there for him, no matter what.
We are here, don't cry...
