Chapter 5
It had been 2 months since Chris left for basic and he had wrote to the family every chance that he got. Mikey was sitting on the couch playing his new video game when April and Casey came walking in with a letter.
"Hey guys, we got a letter from Chris!" April said outloud.
"Yay, hey Donny, Raph, Leo, get in here and get Master Splinter as well, Chris sent a letter today" Mikey shouted.
Master Splinter sat in his chair while April sat on the couch with Donny and Mikey sitting on either side of her. Casey and Raph sat on the other couch and Leo stood in the background, he still hadn't forgave Chris for leaving them to join the military.
"Well read it April" Mikey said
"Ok MIkey jus settle down" April replied. She open the letter and began reading.
Dear family,
I got some down time today and I wanted to write you guys a letter and tell you all about what we have been doing this week. This was a real exciting week, it was weapons week. I got to use all sorts of different weapons. The first day we used hand gernades and rocket launchers. man those rockets sure can kick like a mule when you shoot them. I blew up a old truck with mine, that was so cool. Well the next day we got to shoot the 50cal machine gun. I tell you what Raph, those are some mighty big bullets. Raph you would have got a kick out of the pugil stick fighting that we did the same day to. Mikey you probably would have loved to shoot the machine guns, since is was just like playing one of your video games, haha. O yea, tell Donny that he would not beleive in the stuff we get to use, we have different kinds of radios and infored equipment so that we can see inside buildings that we have to secure, we can see just how many people are in it and where they are before we even go in. Do me a favor, tell Master Splinter thanks for the letters that he sent me, i know he didn't have to and it really means alot. You guys probably didn't even know that he was writing me back did you. I keep all of you letters that you send me, tell Leo that it would be nice to hear from him. Well I got to go, we are getting ready to go to chow, I will be home soon.
Love,
Chris
April finished the letter and looked up at everyone. Then she folded up the letter and handed it to Master Splinter.
"So master, I didn't know you were writing Chris letters" Donny said
"I want him to know that I support his decision, he is old enough to choose his own path" Splinter said
"So, when is he comming back?" Mikey asked
"He told me that it would be a couple of months because when he gets done with his basic training, he has to do is advanced individual training" April said.
"What is that" Raph asked.
"His job training" Donny answered.
"What is his job going to be?'' Casey wandered.
"He is going to be a Green Beret" April said.
"Really!, they are like- supposed to be the best of the best, you know, the elite of the US Army" Mikey said.
"He will be using guns, how dishonorable" Leo said the walked off.
"I see Leo still isn't over his fight with Chris" Casey said
"No, I fear my sons will never have the same relationship they had , Leonardo chose the way of the Ninja, while Chris chose the way of the soldier. Neither path is dishonorable, I am very proud of both of them, one day Leonardo will see the error of his way. Right now all we can do is let it be." Splinter said.
6 months later
"Man I love Christmas, all of the present, the food, it doesn't get any better" MIkey said smiling as he and Angel decorated the tree.
"Just don't eat it all Mikey, especially the turkey like you tried to do last year" Raph said walking over with Silver Sentry, while the other members of the justice force were helping set the table.
Master Splinter and Leonardo were talking to their old friends, the ultimate ninja, who was now a teenager, his father, and Usagi. Donny was helping Gen and Dr. Chaplin hang ordimates on the walls of the lair. Even the Ninja Tribunal showed up for the dinner as well as the other warriors who fought along side turtles against Karai felt honored that Leonardo and Master Splinter invited her and a few of her most loyal foot ninjas to the Christmas dinner, she had never been to one and she was enjoying herself as she talked with Leonardo and Splinter.
"I thank you again Splinter and Leonardo, this is my first Christmas dinner" Karai said smiling.
"You are most welcome, Karai, I must ask, why did you bring Chaplin along?" Leo asked teasingly.
"I had to bring someone, why are you jelous?" Karai shot back. Leo's smirk instantly faded as she walked away smiling.
"Hey Donny whats holding up April and Casey?" Raph asked
"I just talk to them, they are just about here, they had to stop and pick up one more gift" Donny answered.
As the turtles, Splinter, Karai and her foot ninjas, Ninja Tribunal, and the rest of the guest were gathered around the living area talking there was a beep at the front entrance to the lair. When the door opened April and Casey walked in with a few gifts and sat them on the table.
"Hey April, its about time you showed up" Raph teased.
"Can it shell for brains we had to stop and pick up your gift" Casey said.
"O rigght a gift! where is it?" MIkey yelled looking through the wrapped presents but couldn't find one with his name on it.
"Relax Mikey, its right here" April said pointing towards the door.
Everyone looked to the door as a person in full military uniforms walked through the entrance.
"CHRIS!"
