Chapter 5 Working with Santa Claus
After the turtles and Splinter promised to help Santa Claus with work around the workshop and cleaning up whatever mess Shredder and Kraang caused everyone got to work and were assigned different jobs. Master Splinter worked with Santa to check his naughty and nice list twice, Donatello was in charge of making repairs on the sled, Leonardo made sure none of the elves were hurt too badly when Shredder and the foot clan beat them up, and both Michelangelo and Raphael were put in charge of helping the elves make toys and fixing up the toys that Shredder made the elves make that looked like him. Michelangelo was thrilled to be making toys but not Raphael because of their outfits. "Michelangelo do we seriously have to wear these silly clothes? I look ridiculous!" Complained Raphael as he and Michelangelo were both wearing elf costumes with jingly bells all over including their shoes. "Come on Raphael we're helping to make toys and it doesn't hurt to look the part while we're doing something wonderful for all of the good little boys and girls out there in the world who almost got an awful present from Shredder" stated Michelangelo. Raphael knew that Michelangelo was right and got to work on making toys but he still hated dressing like a Christmas Elf.
While the turtles were doing their jobs Master Splinter and Santa Claus were wrapping things up checking the naughty and nice list. "Santa not many naughty children this year you must be happy about that" Splinter said and Santa replied, "You better believe I am and because of your help checking the list twice went a lot faster than when I do it by myself. Domo arigatou. Come let's go see how your students are doing around the workshop. With that said Santa and Splinter left the office and went around the workshop together to see how things were going. Santa was happy to see that everything was going well and laughed on the inside when he saw Raphael's grumpy face because he figured Raphael didn't like dressing like an elf. Before it was time for Santa to make his deliveries Michelangelo and Raphael finished making toys, Donatello completed the repairs on the sled and Leonardo was done treating the injured elves. "Everything seems to be in order and it looks like things will be on schedule" Santa said but a moment later Leonardo told him some unfortunate news, "Santa it seems that the elves that come with you to help deliver presents were really hurt when they fought Shredder. I'm afraid that they won't be able to help tonight."
Santa wasn't happy to hear that his most helpful elves wouldn't be able to help him out tonight. "Well this is most unfortunate news. It's not easy for me to do this by myself. It's why I enlisted my best elves to help me out. Delivering presents as a team gets the job done faster and I get to come home that much sooner to spend Christmas with my own family and friends. What am I going to do now?!" Santa questioned as he began to freak out. The turtles and Splinter didn't like seeing Santa Claus upset and came up with a plan to Santa's problem. Splinter came up to Santa and said, "Santa if you like we could help you deliver the presents." "I couldn't ask for you all to do that. All of you had done so much for me" Santa told Splinter and the turtles. "We all insist because it would break our hearts if the children of the world didn't get a visit from Santa. Isn't that right my students?" said Splinter. "You're absolutely right and your help is appreciated. In exchange for what you all are willing to do for me I will personally take you all home in time for Christmas" Santa offered. The turtles and Splinter all agreed to Santa's offer of giving them a ride back to New York after the presents were delivered. With that said and done all the presents were being loaded to the sled as Santa, Splinter and the turtles prepared themselves for the trip.
