Hi everyone... This is the second to last chapter... you'll see why in chapter 10... I can't believe this story is actually over... well, basically over... it feels like just yesterday I started writing this story. I'm just so sad now that it's almost over... I still don't own the TMNT... Now... without further ado... you may now read the basically last chapter.
Splinter's POV
It has been a few years since my sons have met the girls and I must say... they have really changed since they came.
"Be careful Becca" I look at Raphael... he use to just ignore when someone must be careful but now he is calmer and more aware of one's feelings
"Maybe you should be careful Raph" Rebecca said
"Get a room will you" Leonardo has become more laid back since that day as well.
"Ha-ha... very funny Leo" Raphael said putting his arm around Rebecca's waist
"So... when is it again"
"When is what Mikey?"
"What do you think I'm talking about" Mikey asked
"Uh... oh, right... the wedding"
"Yeah... when is it"
"You should already remember that it's next month"
"That soon"
"We told you guys last year" Raphael said rolling his eyes
"Uh... right... I totally remembered that"
"Of course Mikey... your totally did" Rebecca said sarcastically
"Then what happens next"
"What the shell do you mean Mikey" Leonardo asked
"Like after the wedding... who's is next" Michelangelo asked grinning at Leonardo and Shannon
"Shut up goofball" Rebecca said annoyed
"Hey... is not every day that you get to say the leaders are gonna get married"
"Who" Donatello asked as he and Kaitlyn walked down the stairs after being in the lab
"Leo and Shan" Lillian blurted out
"I thought that was in a few months"
"It is"
"..."
"Well... what we gonna do now" Lillian asked
"Play pin Lilli and Mikey's head down then play bowling with 'em"
"Rebecca" I sternly reprimanding my soon to be daughter in law
"Sorry Master Splinter... sorry goofballs" she muttered
"Leo... want to spar... I know I can beat you this time" Shannon said with determination
"You're on" Leonardo responded and both he and Shannon left to the dojo
"Mikey... let's play Halo... I bet you still can't beat me"
"Yeah right... you are so on" and Michelangelo left to play the electronic device with his wife.
"Master Splinter"
"Yes"
"Do you think my sister's and my ancestors will come again" I knew she meant for the wedding but I was not sure
"I do not know my child... we shall find out in a matter of time" I said to Rebecca
"We'll be in the lab... gotta finish an invention"
"What kind of invention" Donatello glared at Raphael who was smirking
"The answer is no Raph" Donatello said taking Kaitlyn by her left hand and a coffee in his left and exiting the room to go to the lab.
As I have said... my children have changed. And I must say... thank you Shannon, Rebecca, Kaitlyn and Lillian. You have changed this whole family, including the Jones family. We have all learned that in reality... Change is good.
"Master Splinter... you ok"
"Yes Raphael... yes I am"
"Are you sure" he asked
"Tell me something Raphael... do you now believe that change is good" I could tell he did not see this coming
"Well... it was change that got us the girls... so yeah... change is cool" I smiled... I was right... in Raphael's case... Rebecca had changed his life. He was a hot head before they came but now... you would never had guessed he was a hot head, inpatient son of mine. Instead... he was a calm, patient being that was changed by one he loved.
"I shall be in my room" I said shuffling off to my room... Once there I meditated and saw my master, Hamato Yoshi... but not only him... I saw the ancestors of the ones that had changed us dearly.
"Hello Splinter" my master said and we both bowed to one another.
"Splinter... how is that troubling daughter of mine" their father asked
"Which one"
"Both is fine"
"Rebecca and Raphael's wedding is next month"
"Oh Great Being... it seems like just yesterday that troubling girl was just born and in my arms" the man said chuckling
"And how is Lillian"
"Lillian is fine, her and Michelangelo are doing just fine"
"And that one hasn't caused that much trouble has she"
"No... She is around Michelangelo most of the time so I do not know"
"I see" True Son, the Indian came over
"And how the eldest, how is Shannon"
"Shannon has been well... nothing bad has happened since then so she is perfectly fine... her wedding is a few months after Raphael and Rebecca's"
"Seems like all of them are doing fine... I told you there was no need for worry, husband of mine" the ancestor, Kaitlyn told True Son
"Well we have not heard about how Kaitlyn is doing woman" True Son told her and she sighed
"She and Donatello are both doing fine"
"What is the saying children today say"
"I believe my daughter had once said 'I told you so' but I am not certain" the girl's father said
"Then I shall say it... I told you so, True Son" I smiled and Yoshi nodded to me... I was confused but I must not question my master
"I believe Splinter should go... what if Lillian and Michelangelo break something" that this one flaw everyone can do without in them both but is something unchangeable in them both.
"Yes... you are most correct Yoshi... farewell Splinter" they all say in unison then Yoshi bows
"Farewell ancestors" I say as I slip away from meditation. I stood up and look around... all I heard was the video game, metal clashing together, loud noises from the lab as well as a punching bag. I smiled... As much as my sons have changed... they still stay the same.
NO... IT'S THE END... I'm sad... but at least I'll have a final chapter... makes no sense but oh well, you'll get it later when I post the next chapter. Please comment! I'll give you credit in the credits (Yes there will be credits) well I'll be back in a bit with the final chapter... BYE
