Chapter 21 Another cure is created
Mona Lisa has grown used to living in the lair with Master Splinter and the turtles especially with Raphael since he loves and accepts Mona for who she is just like Mona does with Raphael. However Raphael believed deep down Mona still misses being human and so did everyone else. "Um Donatello can I talk to you?" asked Raphael. "Sure what's up?" replied Donatello. "Do you still have all of those notes, theories and formulas for creating a cure for Mona?" Raphael asked. "Of course I do why do you ask?" asked Donatello. "I was hoping if you would let me help you create another cure for Mona's mutation? I believe she still wants to be human again. I know that I'm not a science wiz like you but I want to make Mona happy" Raphael requested. Donatello was touched at what Raphael said and told him, "Sure we can work on creating another cure for Mona together. I know how much she means to you." Raphael thanked Donatello and the two of them began working on hopefully a possibly cure for Mona that wouldn't cause another monstrous mutation and maybe turn Mona human permanently. Raphael studied the notes and formulas because he wanted to be as helpful as possible. Since Raphael and Donatello were working together the two of them came up with something that may be able to cure Mona. "Hey guys what are you doing?" asked Mona when she walked into Donatello's lab. "Mona Donatello and I have been working on another possible cure for you" exclaimed Raphael. "Are you guys serious?!" asked a shocked Mona. "Yes all I want is to see you happy and Donatello let me help him" answered Raphael.
Mona was touched that Raphael was working so hard for her and said "I appreciate it Raphael and remember no matter if I'm human or a mutant lizard girl I love you and I'm happy being with you." A few short days later Raphael and Donatello were finished. "Mona and everybody please come to the lab" requested Raphael. "Is there something the matter my students?" said Master Splinter. "Raphael and I have been working together because he wanted to help out on trying to create another possible cure for Mona and we believe we came up with one and there is enough for you as well if you're up for it" stated Donatello. Master Splinter thought about it and recalled the last time Donatello's other cure didn't last very long. "Thank you Donatello but I've accepted my mutation and I'm happy with being your Sensei Splinter instead of Hamato Yoshi. But if Ms. Lisa wishes to take the cure let her do so" replied Master Splinter. "I've give it one more try" said Mona as Donatello gave her another possible cure for her mutation. "Oh well here goes nothing" Mona thought to herself as she took the cure. All of a sudden Mona started to change from lizard to human. "Well how do I look?" asked Mona. Raphael led Mona to a big mirror and she was surprised. "OMG I'm actually human again. Thank you both so much!" said Mona as she hugged her boyfriend and Donatello. "You're welcome" Raphael and Donatello both said. "At least this time I'm wearing clothes" Mona pointed out making everyone laugh and recalling the first time Mona was cured she had to wrap herself in a blanket. "Do you think you'll still want to live here in the lair with us?" asked Raphael. "Of course I do. I have nowhere else to go and I want to continue my training if that's ok with you Master Splinter" Mona said. "Of course Ms. Lisa" replied Splinter as they both bowed to each other in respect. "To celebrate let's go get pizza!" Michelangelo exclaimed and everyone was up for pizza as always.
