This is gonna be the most coolest chapters ever!
Chapter 30: Reflecting
Late at night, Musaki saw the moon rise up while he was sitting in the Sacred Peach Tree, reflecting of everything that happened the past week and today as well. Fighting Tai Lung and defeating him and also seeing his entire family history with Zeke. All of that got him wondering that he's still thinking of his parents and that he has an awesome family and great friends by his side. It's like a moment that he hopes will never be taken away.
The wind starts blowing through his fur and his parents were in his mind and hears his lullaby blowing through the air. He remembers the lullaby his mother used to sing to him and starts singing it so he can remember and it would feel like a part of his parents are still here with him.
All alone
Wishing on the stars
Waiting for you
to find me
One sweet night
I knew I would see
a stranger could be
my friend
When someone in the dark
reaches out to you
And touches of a spark
that comes shining through
It tells you, 'never be afraid'
When somewhere in your heart
you can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm
when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars
I knew...
My friend
Why, someone in the dark was you
Promise me
We'll always be
walking the world
together...
Hand-in-hand
Where dreams never end
My star secret friend
and me...
When someone in the dark
Reaches out to you
And touches of a spark
that comes shining through
It tells you, 'never be afraid'
When somewhere in your heart
You can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm
when the night winds blow
Look for the rainbow in the sky
Oh, I believe you and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever you may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Wherever you may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me...
Musaki cleared his throat and looks at the sky and he remembers his mother's lullaby really well, like it was going back memories. He sighed heavily and sees the moon shining through him. He blinked twice and whispered, 'Love you, mom, dad.'
All of a sudden, he turns around and there was Splinter coming in from behind. He chuckled nervously and asked, "How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough. How you never told me you had a voice like that?"
Musaki stared at Splinter because he could tell he heard him singing. He got totally embarassed and asked, "You heard that?"
"Yes, I have."
"Well, it was kinda secret between everyone I know. The only ones that knows are Po, Shifu, most of the Five, Ichi and his friends."
"What was that song about?"
"My mom sung it to me every night when I was a little baby cub and it helps me go to sleep."
"It feels as if you are feeling her presence."
"I guess you could say that."
Splinter stared at Musaki and told him, "It has been a very extraordinary day for both of us."
"How do you mean?"
"I got to see my entire ancestors."
"Funny. In a way, I saw them too. I didn't know I had so many of them and that I was related to them."
"Life happens in the most unexpected ways."
"Doesn't it, though? It seems like a huge blur to me to sort of fill in the blanks of my family that I've never actually seen. Kinda scary, isn't it?"
"It does not get scary until you can actually see it in your eyes. Then, you might be surprised by it."
"That's true."
"You know, Musaki? Everyone from here has told me that you are very special and I guess they are right. By knowing you, I guess that you are a very special person."
Musaki smiled and chuckles softly by that comment. He looked at Splinter and asked, "Shifu told you that, didn't he?"
"Yes, he did."
"Well, he's right though. Since being here, I've been absolutely special and being around them, I guess boosted up my self-confidence, even though I'm still a little shy."
"I look at you and I see my sons who has almost the same personality and I can tell by the look in your eyes. It's like I can see a special person behind it."
Musaki smiled and then asked him, "How'd you get to be so wise?"
"It is what my master has taught me."
"Of course."
Splinter pats his head and stands up, then turns to Musaki and said, "When we leave, I'm really gonna miss you."
"So do I. It's been awesome having you here."
"Same here."
Both Musaki and Splinter came in for a hug. Splinter embraced it for a while and it feels as if Musaki is like another son that is totally different, but special nonetheless. Musaki looked at him and said, "I thought you were leaving next week."
"We are. I have all the time I need to get used to China."
"Sure thing."
As the days drag on, it seems as though the turtles and Splinter are starting to like China a lot. Ichi, Musaki, Zeke and Mikey were hanging out talking and having some peaches. Mikey saw one on the tree and tries to get it, but when he jumped too much further, he fell down on the ground, with some peaches falling on him. All Zeke, Musaki and Ichi could do is laugh it off and Mikey joined in as well.
Raph, Splinter and Shifu were doing some kung-fu/ninja training together and it seems as though Raph is starting to like kung-fu, especially when he sees Tigress walking past him and follows her to where she is, but Shifu got in front of him and bonked his head with the flute.
Donny, Crane, Leo and Monkey were putting a prank on Raph by putting whopee cushion to where he's sitting. They went out of the room and into the hallway, where they wouldn't be seen and waited for Raph to come by. As soon as Raph comes to the room, they all put their ears to the door and hears a farting sound out of nowhere. All of them burst out laughing hysterically and Raph pops out and asked, "Who's idea was that?"
"It was ours." Leo said.
Crane started laughing and said, "I've never had much fun like this."
"Me neither." Donny said.
Raph laughs sarcastically and said, "Very funny."
Po, Zuko, Viper and Mantis were hanging out in Mr. Ping's Noodle Shop while Zeke, Musaki, Splinter and Shifu were walking by and by Zeke's surprise, Mr. Ping comes in and asks, "How is everyone doing?"
"Just fine, dad." Po said.
Then, Po looks at Zeke, who looks totally surprised to see Mr. Ping for the first time and Po said, "Have you met Zeke?"
"No, I haven't."
"Well, he's Musaki's long-lost brother."
"He is?"
Mr. Ping looks at Zeke and sees that there's a little resemblance to Musaki, but totally different. Then, he looks at him and said, "Do I remember you from your 15th birthday party?"
"Yeah, that's me." Zeke answered.
"Well, I am Mr. Ping, owner of this noodle shop and Po's father."
"Really? Nice to meet you...again."
"Need some noodles?"
"Sure, why not?"
"Be right back and this time, it's on me."
Mr. Ping walks towards the kitchen and Po gets up and plans to help out, but Zeke stopped him and said, "You never told me your dad is a goose."
"Well, surprise! Oh, and he's a duck."
Zeke looked at Musaki and said, "That was weird."
"Isn't it, though? But, he's cool."
Later on, Ichi, Leo, Mikey, Donny, Tigress, Raph, Crane, Monkey and Mantis joined in with the others and ate some noodles at Mr. Ping's place and it seems as though it's the best time of everyone's lives, just the one moment that they'll remember for the rest of their lives.
That is amazingly cool. That song was "Someone in the Dark" from Michael Jackson. Pretty cool right? Well, the final chapter is underway, so stick around!
