Hey its me gotta be qiuet Theing asleep(Theng:Snore)*GigleGigle*And were off. The turtles are 3 years old, thanny is now 1._

At this point she got along with all of them except one; Raphaël.

Even though she couldn't walk yet she'd proven to crawl very fast and also had a tendency to get in trouble when nobody was looking, because of this master Splinter had built her a box filled with toys and cuddles he'd found in the sewers or junkyard. This time she managed to get out of the box.

She heard noises coming from the room next to her so she went to get a peek, she stopped and looked up she saw her brothers training. She smiled and crawled towards them. Master Splinter was teaching them how to punch and kick correctly.

They stood in line and were performing Splinter's instructions; punch, kick, punch, punch, kick, stop !

Master Splinter yelled when his youngest came crawling into the danger zone. She was right in front of Raph. He fell onto his butt in order to avoid his little sister.

"Stupid, little …"

"Raphaël! Have some respect for your sister!"

Little thanny giggled and crawled to her big brother, she murmured something in baby language and took his hand but he snatched it away quickly and made her cry.

" Hey! Raph! Don't be so cruel to thanny!" mikey said as he picked her up and started shushing her.

"Whatever" he ran to his room.

"Hey come on Thanny no more crying" Donny said whipping her tears away with his fingers.

"Yeah, come on little ninja it's just Raph don't worry" and leo tickled her under her chin. Little giggles filled the dojo. Master Splinter smiled at this.

"Class dismissed" he said.

"Oh yeah come on Thanny play time" Mikey said. he put her down, she sat on the floor.

Donny, Mikey and Leo took a few passes forward turned and sat on their knees.

"Come on Thanny you can do it, walk to your brothers" Mikey said and stretched his arms out.

"Come on little ninja, come to Leo, you can do it"

"No way bro, she's walking to me, who's your favorite brother? Yes it's Donny isn't it"

She smiled again at her brothers and crawled into their arms.

"No Thanny you have to walk, see like this" Mikey said, he held her by her hands lifted her up from the floor and placed her on two feet and let go.

"Yeah that's a girl!" he said, but after 3 seconds she sat back on the floor and looked innocently up to him.

"master Splinter from what age did we started to walk?" Donny asked.

"My sons, this is different for every child, when Theng Sjen is ready walk, she'll walk, for now I think it's time for her nap" Splinter noticed his daughter yawning, he lifted her up and placed her in her box, she immediately fell asleep.

"Sleep well my daughter" he smiled.

To night he had to go out again. The food was almost all gone again, it was amazing how such little children could eat so much. But it wasn't a problem for a ninja master like himself. It was harder when they were younger now they aren't afraid anymore to be alone for a little while.

"My sons, I'm going out to find some more food, please behave and watch your sister, I'll return soon"

"Yes master" they all said at once, Raph was with them and glared at Thanny when his father said that they had to watch over her. Master Splinter didn't seem to notice and left.

"I'm going to play with the cars" donny said (you know little plastic ones)

"Hey wait up" Leo said.

"I want to be action man!" Mikey added.

Raph stayed behind, Thanny had woken up from his brothers yelling and stood up on her box, holding the bars for support.

Raph sat in the couch not paying attention to her. She spoke some baby language to him again and looked at him with her big baby blue eyes.

"I don't see you" he said and looked the other way, but couldn't help to look in her direction once in a while. He saw her pulling herself up at the bars, he was surprised at this, he always thought she was little and weak.

"No way, this is how you came out" she crawled over the box and landed on her butt on the floor. She sat now with her back turned to him.

"Good job little sis!… I mean what ever" he smiled, being secretly proud at the little rebel. He looked around and saw that his brothers were still busy playing with the cars and turned his attention back to his sister.

She had pulled herself up again at the bars and stood now back on her feet, still holding the bars as support.

No way he thought, yes way! She giggled at him and set one foot in his direction still a little wobbly on her feet. After that one came another and another she was actually walking at him!

"Pssch! Guys come and see this" he whispered and got off the couch on his knees and stretched his arms out.

"Leo, Donny check it out Thanny is walking!" they stayed where they were just watching their little sister take her first steps.

"Come on Thanny come to Raph, yes good girl" she had set five steps and began to wobble again, she lost her balance and was about to fall onto the ground.

But Raph feeling the big brother in him act, he rushed towards his sister and took her hands and walked with her to his brothers.

"Good job! Little ninja I knew you could do it!"

"Yeah good girl" donny said and tickled her side. She giggled a bit.

"Sweet sis! Now the next step talking can you say 'cowabunga'?" SMACK! "ow! Raph why did you do that?"

"Don't you dare to teach her that word! I'll go crazy if she turns out to be like you"

She talked baby language again, mixed up with a bunch of giggles.

"I hear yah sis! Can I have an high five?" Raph held up his hand and Thanny smacked it with both her smaller hands.

"Good girl!"

Master Splinter watched this scene from the shadows he had forgotten his bag to put the food in back at home when he saw this, he has never been so proud of his children before.
