April heads into the lair, where the guys are still lounging about, watching TV and tinkering. April is standing off in a tunnel, in the shadows, so that all that can be seen is her vague outline.
"Hey, guys…" says April all nervous-like.
"April!" says Donnie happily as he starts to walk towards her.
"Don't come any closer!" yells April, taking a few steps backwards, "Before you come any closer, I want you to think of the most shocking thing that you can."
"Uhh… Okay, April." By now, all the guys are gathered in front of the tunnel where April is, and they all think of different shocking things.
Umm, April is actually Splinter's missing daughter Miwa, and we've been hanging out with our sister this whole time. Thinks Leo.
Mikey's actually a super-genius. He was given gifted intelligence at mutation and has just been pretending to be a moron, shell-for-brains. Thinks Raph.
Donnie just pictures April kissing him, on the lips.
Hmmm, something shocking, thinks Mikey,…ooh! I know! Cats and humans are battling for dominant species up on the surface. Which side should we be on, the cats, or the hu… Hey! A penny!
"Hope you guys are prepared…" With that, April walks out of the shadows, revealing her mutation. "heh, heh," she laughs nervously, "Hey… Guys…" Everyone's eyes go white, and their jaws almost drop to the floor in shock. Donnie does something between a gasp and a sigh, then falls to the floor in a dead faint.
"Uh April? Wha.. What happened?!" exclaims a shocked Leo.
"I'll tell you, but first, we should probably revive Donnie" April replies pointing to Donnie. Everyone looks down at Donnie, and Leo agrees. "yeah… we should do that." He looks at Raph and says, "Raph?"
" On it." Says Raph, hitting Donnie on the head to wake him up. Donnie wakes up saying, "I thought that the weirdest thing just happened…" He stops, and getting a look at April, faints again.
"Alright, now that's just annoying. " Raph takes Donnie, and flips him over onto the ground. "Donnie, you gonna stay awake this time instead of fainting like a little girl?" asks Raph.
"Hmmm? Yeah." replies Donnie, "Did I just see…what I thought I saw?"
"Yup" confirms Leo.
"How'd this happen?" asks Donnie to both April and Leo.
"That's what I'd like to know." Says Leo.
"Well, I'll tell you. It all started…"April continues to recount what happened to her after she left the lair earlier that night. "And, that's what happened." In response to her story all everyone can do is stare with disbelief.
"I'd better get Splinter" suggests Leo. He goes to get Splinter, and later they both enter the room. Everyone stares at April with mild surprise for a bit, then she breaks the silence, saying,
"I guess you can see why I'm going to be living with you for a while." Then, more quiet, almost to herself she adds, "You know, for, like, forever."
"Yes. Well, I had better find you a room." Splinter leaves to go find April an empty room to call her own.
That night is spent with April trying to find a comfortable sleeping position. First she tries sleeping on her shell, the way that she normally slept on her back. "Well, THAT'S not going to work." She shifts to her side, which is equally uncomfortable. "nooo…" As a last resort, she shifts to sleeping on her plastron. "Ughhh! I never liked sleeping on my stomach!" In her frustration she clutches her pillow and groans into it, eventually falling into a restless sleep.
