Chapter Twelve
The Final Surprise
After fifteen minutes the interval was over and everyone was ready to do the ballroom scene.
Tyroth and Raphael did a great opening piece for the ballroom scene as Donatello, Michelangelo and April entered the stage along with Mona who was wearing a different dress to her fairy godmother one as an extra at the ball, and Casey also appeared as an extra at the ball.
"Oh my dear Prince!" said Raphael "Are there any of these ladies you could choose as a bride?"
"That I do not know my dear Dandini!" said Tyroth "There are a many beautiful girls, but none have yet caught my eye!"
Just then Casey called out loudly.
"My Lords and Ladies! Please welcome to the floor Princess Starlight!"
As Casey called out those words, Sephie entered the stage dressed in a cream dress with sparkles and a tiara in her hair.
"Oh wow!" said George "Sephie is the perfect Cinderella!"
"Wow!" cried Sonia happily "Sephie looks so pretty!"
Splinter nodded proudly as he watched Sephie walk across the stage as the other dancers moved aside for her to catch Tyroth's attention.
As soon as Sephie walked onto the stage, Tyroth instantly choose her to dance as the music played and for a while the dragon and gecko danced together on the stage as the others stood to the side and watched.
"You look beautiful babe!" said Tyroth softly to Sephie as they danced.
"So do you hun!" said Sephie with a smile "And you're doing great!"
Tyroth smiled as he waltzed her around.
"I have to say I'm more careful with my tail after all the accidents we had at rehearsals!" he said.
Sephie giggled softly as she remembered how Tyroth's tail would accidentally did the others when they were doing the ballroom scene in rehearsals.
"You're doing great though!" Sephie whispered "Your tails not an obstruction."
"That's good!" said Tyroth pleased.
After a while, the clock noise sounded.
"Oh no!" cried Sephie letting go of Tyroth and running to the top of the stage to run down the steps "It's midnight! I have to go!"
"Wait!" cried Tyroth running after her "I don't even know your name!"
Sephie ran through the gap in the audience, as she did, she kicked off one of the shoes and Tyroth picked it up before looking at it sadly and returned to the stage as the light faded on everything around, except on him.
"Oh woe is me!" cried Tyroth "The girl I have fallen in love with has left the ball, yet I didn't learn her name, but I vow that who's foot fits this slipper!" he held up the satin shoe Sephie had dropped "I will marry her!"
The light then faded and the audience clapped and cheered happily.
The light soon came up again and it showed Sephie cleaning the fire and lamenting to Leonardo about how she met the prince at the ball and how she wished she had known his name.
It was then that April entered the stage with Michelangelo and Donatello with the audience booing her loudly.
"Cinderella!" April barked "Make us a cup of tea! I have some matters to discuss!" She then turned to Leonardo "And you Buttocks!" she shouted "Stand to attention before I gut you!"
"Buttons!" snapped Leonardo.
"Shut up!" April snapped back "Now! I just received news that the Prince is making a house to house visit to find the owner of the satin shoe lost at the ball! He has decreed that he will marry the girl whose foot fits the slipper!"
"Really?" cried Donatello and Michelangelo in high voices "Whomever fits the shoe will be the Princes's bride!?"
"Yes..." said April "How exciting! A royal wedding! For one of you!"
Before long Tyroth and Raphael entered the stage with the satin slipper announcing their intentions to find the right owner to it, but before they did, April decided to lock Sephie in the cupboard causing the audience to boo and April to bark at them to shut up.
As soon Tyroth and Raphael walked in with the satin slipper Donatello and Michelangelo crowded them looking at the slipper.
"Whoa!" cried Michelangelo "What a pretty slipper! It's mine!"
"No way!" Donatello shrieked pushing Michelangelo aside "It's mine!"
"No!" cried Sonia "It's Cinderella's slipper!"
George and Splinter instantly shushed Sonia before she got too excited and looked up to see Donatello and Michelangelo comically fight over the slipper before April pulled them back.
"Stop it girls!" she scolded "You'll get your turn!"
Meanwhile Leonardo shook his head as he pointed at the feuding Ugly Sisters getting the audience to laugh at them.
"Gimme that slipper!" cried Michelangelo snatching the slipper from Raphael "I want to try it on first!"
Michelangelo tried to get the slipper on, but to no avail, then Donatello shoved him off the chair making everyone laugh before trying the slipper on and also failing.
"Is there anyone else in the house?" asked Raphael "Any other maiden?"
April instantly said there was no-one else in the house to which the audience began shouting "NO!" with the assistance of Leonardo.
It was then Sephie banged on the side of the stage making Tyroth and Raphael wish to inspect the noise much to the dismay of April, Donatello and Michelangelo.
Raphael then pulled Sephie onto the stage causing everyone to cheer and April and Michelangelo and Donatello to gasp in horror.
"What was she doing in here?" demanded Raphael crossly.
Tyroth cried out in shock and ran to Sephie.
"I recognize you!" he cried "You were the girl at the ball!"
"Don't be stupid!" Michelangelo shouted "She wasn't even at the ball!"
But Sephie sat down and Raphael slid the shoe onto her foot where it fit perfectly making everyone cheer loudly.
"Huzzah!" cried Raphael "The slipper does fit!"
"That proves it! You were the girl at the ball!" he exclaimed "The love of my life!"
Everyone sighed aww as Sephie and Tyroth embraced whilst April frowned and folded her arms, as did Donatello and Michelangelo.
Everyone cheered and clapped as Tyroth and Sephie embraced then cheered louder as Mona appeared on the stage and congratulated the happy couple before waving her wand and closing the curtains.
As they did, everyone got up and began to clap and cheer and then the curtains opened again and everyone walked into the stage one by one and bowed.
Leonardo stared first and bowed, followed by Raphael, then Monalisa, then April who got a few boos, then Donatello and Michelangelo who tottered on the stage and did little curtsies making everyone laugh, then Tyroth and Sephie appeared together on stage wearing glamorous clothes and bowed.
The audience soon stood and gave a standing ovation, George, Splinter and the Chicago Knights clapped and cheered the loudest of them all.
"Fantastic!" cheered George "That was wonderful!"
"Why da go guys!" shouted Jack "Way da go!"
The turtles, Mona, Tyroth and Sephie bowed again and grinned as they were cheered at, Sonia even stood up and clapped hard and cheered.
As the applause died down, Tyroth stepped forward.
"Thank you so much everybody!" he said "I hope you enjoyed our pantomime! But now we have a little treat for you as we sing our Christmas song!"
Everyone cheered and clapped as the music started to play and everyone cheered as they recognized it as 'It feels Like Christmas' From the Muppet Christmas Carol.
At once everyone on stage began singing:
It's in the singing of a street corner choir
It's going home and getting warm by the fire
It's true, where ever you find love, it feels like Christmas
A cup of kindness that we share with another
A sweet reunion with a friend of a brother
In all the places you find love, it feels like Christmas
Then Tyroth stepped forward and began to sing the chorus:
It is the season of the heart
A special time of caring
The ways of love made clear
It is the season of the spirit
The message if we hear it
Is 'Make it last all year'
The Sephie and Mona began to sing together:
It's in the giving of a gift to another
A pair of mittens that were made by your mother
It's all the ways that we show love that feel like Christmas
Then the turtles began to sing the next part:
A part of childhood we'll always remember
It is the summer of the soul in December
It's when you do your best for love, it feels like Christmas
The Tyroth sang the next part as he called Sonia forward to join him on stage to which Sonia did and ran up on the stage happily, and Tyroth picked her up and began to sing to her making her smile:
It is the season of the heart
A special time of caring
The ways of love made clear
It is the season of the spirit
The message if we hear it
Is 'Make it last all year'
Then Everyone began to sing together again:
It's in the singing of a street corner choir
It's going home and getting warm by the fire
It's true, where ever you find love, it feels like Christmas
It's true, where ever you find love
It feels like Christmas
It feels like Christmas
It feels like Christmas
It feels like Christmas
When they finished singing, everyone cheered and clapped loudly for the gang as they took another bow and the music to 'I Wish It Could be Christmas Everyday' began to play to which everyone began to cheer and shout with glee.
At once, Sephie and Mona began to sing the first verse:
Oh, when the snowman brings the snow
Oh well, he just might like to know
He's put a great big smile
On somebody's face
Then Mona, Donatello and Raphael sang the next part:
If you jump into your bed
And you cover up your head
Don't you lock the doors
You know that sweet Santa Claus is on hes way
Then everyone joined in the chorus:
Well, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
The turtles then sang the next part:
When we're skating in the park
If the storm cloud paints it dark
Then your rosy cheeks are gonna light
My merry way
Then Tyroth and Raphael began singing the next part together:
Now the frosticals appeared
And they've frozen up my beard
And so we'll lie by the fire
Till the sleep simply melts them all away
Then everyone joined in the chorus again cheering and whooting as they did:
Well, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
After a brief musical interval, Mona and Sephie sang the next part:
Oh, when the snowman brings the snow
Oh well, he just might like to know
He's put a great big smile
On somebody's face
So if Santa brings that sleigh
All around the Milky Way
I'll sign my name on the rooftop in the snow
Then he may decide to stay
"It's Christmas!" Michelangelo cheered loudly then everyone sang the chorus:
Well, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
Tyroth then shouted loudly to the audience:
"Alright everyone! Take it!" to which everyone began to sing the last part:
Well, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
And then Leonardo stepped forward and sang loudly:
Why don't you give your love for Christmas?
As the music died down, everyone cheered and clapped, then Mona waved her wand again and at once, the doors at the back of the room opened and Casey came in dressed as Father Christmas ho ho hooing his way in and carrying a sack of presents to which everyone cheered and Sonia squealed with delight.
"Ho ho ho!" shouted Casey "Merry Christmas everyone! Merry Christmas!"
Everyone cheered and clapped then cheered even louder as Mona waved her wand again and fake snow began to fall from the roof and all over everyone.
"It's snowing!" cried Sonia "Mona's a real Fairy Godmother!" Mona blushed at the comment as everyone smiled at her.
Then Cam and Barry appeared from behind the stage dressed as elves to assist Casey by handing out presents to everyone.
"Merry Christmas to all!" Casey shouted.
"Merry Christmas!" everyone shouted back as they all received their presents and got covered in fake snow.
"This is amazing!" Sonia shouted as she tried to catch some of the fake snow "Best Christmas Ever!"
Tyroth cuddled Sonia close then got everyone to pose with her as Jack took some pictures of the happy chameleon girl with the entire cast.
Amidst the excitement, Splinter looked up at the Turtles, Tyroth, Sephie and Mona and smiled before saying "I'm proud of you!" to which the gang bowed then laughed and cheered with everyone as they got covered in fake snow and laughed as they prepared for the rest of a magical Christmas in Mutopia.
