--------------------------------------

Micco's Story:

Kimiko looked over Donnie's shoulder as he typed up a storm…he was researching on some sort of technology.

"Hey Don?" Kimiko asked.

"Yes," he answered.

"Why are you doing this?" she asked. She watched as he let out a sigh, she couldn't help but hug him.

"To find a way to disguise ourselves better," he said.

"Do you need help?" Kimiko asked, "Because I can ask my Dad for the parts you need."

"Would you really do that?" Don asked.

"Of course," she smiled, "I mean meeting you guys, is one of the greatest things that happened to me."

"That was like two days ago," Don said flatly.

"So, it is," she said laughing.

"Kimiko," she turned to see Kate there, "we would like you to meet Splinter." Kimiko watched as Don minimized what he had found and stand up.

Kimiko followed him and wasn't surprised to see a giant rat sitting in a recliner, but man was Omi chattering up a storm with him. Sitting down in between Micco and Omi, she smiled a bit, as he began the tale of their origin, starting with his master Hamato Yoshi, and Uroku Saki, or better known as the shredder, his master's murder, finding the turtles in a green ooze. Then he turned his gaze to Micco.

"My daughter Micco is a tale to remember," he chuckled.

-Flash Back-

"Happy Birthday to you," Micco looked at her mom, and then her dad, her sapphire eyes twinkling.

"Blow out the candles and make a wish," her mother said giving her a peck on the cheek. She thought hard, making a little face. Her face brightened, and she blew out the two tiny candles.

"Let's have some cake," her father said, tickling her.

"Daddy?" she asked.

"Yes," he looked at her.

"I wove you," she said.

"I love you," her father smiled. She smiled big; she looked to her mom, who handed her a small piece of the marble cake with fudge icing.

"Sweetie, it's time for bed," she looked at her mom, and nodded. After getting ready for bed, her mother tucked her in, and read her the book, 'The Monster at the End of This Book.' (It's my favorite children's book!)

"Good night," her mother smiled. She nodded, and let out a sigh before drifting to sleep. Her mother's expression became a worried expression as soon as her daughter was asleep.

"Please, tell me Hun won't come," she whispered.

one hour later

"NO!" her father coughed…their apartment was on fire.

"My baby," her mother cried rushing to her child's bed room, seeing their daughter still asleep.

"We have to do this," her father said.

"I don't want her in foster care," her mother sobbed.

"She will be safe," her father sighed. Her mother sighed, but nodded, they threw their daughter out of their one story apartment, and she landed on a pile of pillows that were oddly out there. Landing Micco woke up to see the building a blaze.

"MOMMY, DADDY!" she cried. The sudden sound of footsteps got her attention; she turned to see an old woman, with a scary look on her face.

"Hello child," the woman said, "I'm afraid you're going to have to come with me."

"NO!" she cried, "I WANT MY MOMMY AND DADDY!" She began to cry as the woman got closer.

"Shh," the woman said, "it will be over soon." She only cried louder, she wanted her parents to hold her…she didn't like this lady.

"Come child," the woman barked.

"NO!" she cried. The woman glared at her, snapping her wrinkled fingers, a man stepped out of the shadows. (The apartment complex is still on fire) He reached out to grab her…she screamed…and then, the man and old woman were gone because she blinked, and they were running from something.

"Mommy," she whimpered, "Daddy."

"Are you alright?" a voice asked, reminder her of her grandfather, who had passed on. She shook her head negatively, looking up. Her eyes widened in awe at the sight of a giant rat in front of her, it didn't scare her; it amazed her.

"What of your parents?" he asked. Her eyes widened more, she did her best to stand up to get as far from the building as possible, but her tiny body was being absorbed into the pillows, but she couldn't get up, so she pointed to the building.

"So, they didn't make it out," he said. She finally got out of the pillows' grasp and waddled towards him, she had no idea if they made it out…she just needed someone gentle to hold her. She held her arms out to him, just wanting to be held. Something told her that her parents didn't make it; something told her that it was destiny.

He was confused by her actions, but he held her.

"Call me Splinter," he said, "and you are?" She shrugged, she barely remembered her name.

"This is going to be tough," he sighed. She snuggled into him, sighing.

"Micco," he said, she looked at him, titling her head.

"After one of my master's younger siblings," he smiled warmly at the child. Her parents voices in her head, telling her to never forget…and she didn't.

"Thank you, Spwinter," she said, before drifting off to sleep.

Waking up to some one staring at you in the face is kind of scary…especially if they're older than you.

"Splinter, who is she?" a distant voice asked.

"Michelangelo," the stern voice of Splinter got the person who was in her face to move.

"Micco, she will be staying here, until we learn if her parents are still alive," she looked at everyone in the room. Three smiling faces and one face that didn't show any emotion, all of them turtles.

"Hi," she looked to the turtle who was in her face when she woke up…an orange mask.

"Hi," she said in a small voice. That was the beginning of her new life with her new family.

Two and a half years later

Micco still wasn't used to having 'brothers', or staying with kids four years older than she was. But she was welcomed in with open arms by them, especially Michelangelo, but she got along better with Donatello.

"Donnie," she looked at the Braniac turtle working on his toy car.

"Yes, Micco," he said, still working on the car.

"Do you want to do a puzzle?" she asked. He put the toy car down, and turned and smiled at her.

"Sure," he said, ruffling her raven hair, making her giggle. He pulled out an old box; he opened the box and poured out all the puzzle pieces. The two began to work; Don helping her with the area's that she was doing. They failed to notice Mikey walk in, and start messing with Don's chemistry set…a special gift from Splinter to him. He gave each of them a special gift, Leo had gotten a sketch pad, Raph had gotten his first punching bag, Don had his chemistry set, Mikey had his game boy, and Micco had her stuffed bear, which Splinter salvaged from the fire that took her parents lives.

He looked at what he made, some sort of pink ooze, he mixed a few of the chemicals together.

"Mikey!" Leo called, startling him. Micco and Don were facing Mikey with their backs to him, but Micco was directly behind him, the pink ooze was poured all in her hair, and it stung.

"AH!" she squeaked. Don looked at her; seeing the pain on her face he took her where they bathed and started to spray water in her hair.

"What's going on?" Raph walked in, seeing Micco under running water, and Mikey sneaking off somewhere.

"Mikey, what did you do?" he asked.

"What is the meaning of this?" Splinter walked in.

"Micco?" Don asked.

"Wha?" she said.

"Your hair, it's changed," Raph said. She blinked in confusion.

"I think you should look in a mirror," Mikey said, "it looks nice."

Looking in the mirror, she looked at her hair, her eyes widened; instead of the raven hair that she used to have, she now had snow white hair, with yellow streaks in it.

-End Flash Back-

"That's why my hair is this way," Micco giggled.

"Oh," Omi said.

"It was great to meet you Splinter," Kimiko smiled.

-The Xiaolin Temple-

"SHE WHAT?" Dojo shouted.

"Yeah, she left the note, and just left," Rai said, "I have to go apologize to Kimiko."

"Maybe you should give her time," Dojo suggested, "I mean, you aren't her favorite person right now."

"No, I need to do it now," Rai begged. Dojo fidgeted.

"Shen-gong-wu alert, the Staff of Hearts, it points out your true love if it's in use," Dojo said, "not one of the most important Shen-Gong-Wu…"

"Let's get it," Rai interrupted. Dojo sighed, but nodded.

"Hop on," he said growing to a forty foot dragon.

-Chase Young's Lair-

"Who are you and why are you here?" Chase demanded.

"My name is Sarah," she walked out of the shadows, wearing a foot soldier uniform, but without the mask, "my master has an offer that you can't refuse."

"What kind of offer?" he asked, skeptically.

"You are after the Dragon of Water…I know where he is, but you have to do something for us in return," she said. She watched as he stood there pondering.

"What if I'm not after the Xiaolin Dragon of Water anymore," he said.

"Are you?" she asked.

"Yes," he answered.

"What is it?" she asked. He smirked.

-Back at Second Time Around-

"Raph, do you think this is a good idea?" Kate asked.

"No," he stated, "I know this is not the smartest thing I've thought of doing…but come on Kate."

"Fine," she sighed. They were on the roof.

"Okay, so you really want to learn how do waltz," she asked.

"Bring it on," he said.

"Some how…I like the idea you want to learn to waltz," Kate laughed.

Behind the cracked door, Mikey sat there laugin, Omi sat next to him confused.

"What are we doing?" Omi asked, really loudly.

"MIKEY!" Raph roared.

"Oh, just go a head and kill him," Kate stated, watching her BF reach into his belt for his sais.

"NO! AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mikey screamed, and he screamed like a girl. (Yeah, Mikey like Jack Spicer screams like a girl, but he can fight!)

"Not very, 'Battle Nexus Championie'," Kate laughed, watching Raph chase Mike around the roof.

"What were we doing?" Omi asked.

"Raph's waltzing lesson was supposed to be private," she sighed.

'I THINK I DID IT!' and excited Don shouted as he ran up the stairs, followed by Kimiko.

'YOU MEAN WE DID IT!' Kimiko screamed. Kate looked down the stairs; Kimiko and Don were shaking hands, and then hugging.

"They look so cute together," she said.

"Yeah they do," Raph looked over his girlfriend's shoulder.

"Hey Raph," Kate smiled, turning to him.

"I love you," he said, pulling her into a passionate kiss, they broke apart; she was in a daze for a few seconds.

"Idea stealer," she pouted.

"Hello, we're right here," Mikey called.

"You mean you're only there, Omi went downstairs," Kate said.

"Oh," Mikey said grinning.

-With Kimiko and Don-

"Thank you," Don said hugging Kimiko, "without your help, these 'Camo watches' wouldn't have been created."

"We have to test them first," Kimiko said, "how about you test them?"

"Well, alright, call everybody to a meeting," he said with a determined look. Nodding, Kimiko did as he asked, leaving the brainy turtle with his thoughts.

-With Dojo, Rai, and Clay-

"Welcome back to NYC!" Dojo announced.

"You mean I can go apologize to Kimiko?" Rai asked.

"Partner, you really shouldn't," Clay said, "I mean she's a hot head and all."

"I have to, she needs to know," Rai said.

"Let's find the Wu first," Dojo said. After one hour of walking, the reached the Second Time Around, antique shop.

"This is the place," Dojo said. Rai nodded and entered, the bell ringing.

"Raimundo?" he turned to see April standing there.

"Official Xiaolin Dragon business Miss O'Neil," Clay said.

"You must be here for this," April held out a staff, on it was a ruby in the shape of a heart.

"That is defiantly the staff," Dojo said.

"Something told me not to sell it, well here you go," she handed the staff to Clay.

"How's Kimiko?" Rai asked.

"She's still upset, I mean it's been two days," April said, "You need to give her time." Rai sighed.

"We'll be staying for a few days, maybe in that amount of time she will cool off a little," Rai said. April frowned.

"Alright, well good bye," April said as they left. She thanked the stars above that he didn't arrive when Kimiko and Don shouted.

"April," Kimiko said out of breath, "Donnie has called a meeting."

"This has got to be important," April said to herself.

Me: So how was it?

Rai: Please R&R!

Don: Yeah, and points to Crystal Persian for guessing who Sarah's master is

Leo: Yeah

Maddie: Again, please R&R!
