"WAKE UP EVERYBODY! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!"
Shouted Leonah. She was so excited to inform her sisters of their new names.
Rebecca woke up with steam coming off of her she was very mad to be woken up so early.
Tang Shen was not in the room at the moment, so she didn't see Rebecca's steam.
The other turtles were just too sleepy to care...
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!" Rebecca shouted as she put her head under the fabric to try and block out the noise.
"What does it look like I'm doing Rebecca? I'm trying to wake up everyone! I have something totally awesome to tell you!" Said Leonah.
"Rebecca?" The three sleepy turtles questioned.
"Yeah that's what I was going to tell you! While we were asleep, Mommy gave us all names! My name is Leonah and you are Rebecca!" Said Leonah as she pointed to herself and then Rebecca.
Rebecca smiled but didn't say anything. She was too happy.
"What's my name?" asked Dakota.
"Your name's Dakota!" Said Leonah.
"I wanna name too!" Shouted Myra.
"Mommy said that your name gets to be Myra!" Leonah said with joy.
"Mywa? Mywa! My name is Miwa! MYWA! MYWA! MYWA! YAAY!"
Myra ran around the big room with glee that she had her very own name.
As Myra was running, she would jump every now and again and each jump got higher that the last. A lot higher...
Nobody noticed this until Rebecca stopped her.
"Myra stop! You might hurt yourself!" She said.
"Oh c'mon, Becky it's fun! Jump with me!" Myra giggled.
"My name is not Becky its Rebecca! And I'm not going to jump with you." Rebecca said sternly.
"Please?"
Rebecca shook her head.
"Fine! Donna? Do you wanna play jumping with me?" she asked.
"Donna? I thought my name was Dakota?" Dakota looked at Myra with a puzzled face.
"It is." Said Tang Shen as she came into the room.
"MOMMY!" They all shouted as they ran up to Shen and gave her a hug.
"Hello my daughters. I sense there is an issue among you." Shen said.
"What's an issue?" Asked Leonah.
"Issue is another word for problem." Said Dakota.
"Well then we have an issue alright! Myra keeps saying the wrong names!" Stammered Rebecca.
"Myra is that true?" Shen asked. Myra looked down at the floor.
"Yes..." she said.
"Why?"
"Cause..."
"Cause why?"
"Cause...cause they have names that are hard for me to say..."
"My name is not hard to say! All you say is ree-bek-a and then you say Rebecca!" Said Rebecca.
"But I can't say the beginning right. And Donna's name has too many sounds in it and I mess up when try to say it. And I can't say Nahni's name right either." Myra whined.
"That is okay Myra, you just cannot talk like your sisters yet. All you need is some more practice that's all. But maybe you should ask your sisters if they want a nickname first." Said Shen.
"What's a nickname?" asked Rebecca.
"It's a shorter or easier version of someone's name." Said Dakota.
Shen didn't know how Dakota knew all these words but it didn't matter...
"Um...Daky...Dakoo...Daktaaa? See its confusing Mommy!" Myra said.
"Its okay Myra you will get the hang of it. Is it alright if your little sister calls you all by your nicknames until she can say your real names correctly?" Shen asked.
The three older sisters nodded.
Myra jumped up and hugged Rebecca as tight as she could.
"THANK YOU BECKY!" She shouted.
Rebecca smiled...
"Your welcome..."
