A/N: This was inspired by the 2007 CGI movie. There was a photo in Splinter's room when Leo was talking to him. I also was inspired by a family photo of my own.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Teenage Mutant Turtles Nor am I in any way connected. I was just a fan growing up. This story is merely for fun.
Leonardo had asked the others to gather for a family photo. Splinter knew why he wanted one. Raph knew why too. Both had to force a smile for the picture.
Donnie gave his best smile, while wondering why Leo wanted this photo taken in the first place. Leo insisted that Donatello develope the photo as soon as possible. When Splinter asked for a copy Donnie knew something was up. Unfortunately, for the life of him, Donnie could not figure out what exactly was up. He simply made the copies.
Poor Michelangelo had no clue. His smile was the only real one in the picture. Sadly, it all finally made sense to Donnie and Mikey the next morning.
Leo left for South America and wanted a the photograph as a connection to those he loved the most.
