Thank you Smokescreen-ninja for your review! We really like you idea and may incorporate it in future chapters!

Here is the next chapter! Hope you enjoy :)

Lit by the moonlight were three figures under the small bed cover in a desolate farmhouse. These three people weren't normal. No they were a wolf, a coyote and a mutant turtle.

The three teenagers were discussing their plans for the future instead of going to bed and they were having a nice time just talking together about something OTHER than villains.

"So what would you want to be when your older? " Riley asked Pop.

" Hmmm,"Pop tapped her chin is thought. As much as she wanted to, she knew they could never really get jobs or be accepted. "I'd love to be a freerunner or a youtuber but...nothing," 'But I guess it would take a miracle for that to happen,' She finished insinside her head.

"What about you Mikey?"the two girls turned to the mutant turtle who beamed at them.

"I'd love to be a youtuber too! Or an artist,"

The girls knew that Mikey had a passion for art, something which they shared but not quite as strongly. Mikey turned to Riley.

"What about you Riley?"

Riley shrugged. "I've never really thought about it," In truth she had thought about it, but she just couldn't share it with anyone,not even her best friends. Before Pop and Mikey could question her a thunderous bang reached their ears.

Grabbing their weapons, the trio bolted downstairs but had their path blocked by Willow, Ellie, Raph and Donnie, for some reason Misty wasn't there.

"What's going on?!" Pop yelled,jumping upwards trying to get a look. Raph jerked his thumb towards the kitchen.

Everyone piled into the kitchen and saw Leo in the middle of it, blackened with smoke. And eight in the middle of the crime scene was Leo's worst enemy... the Shredder? Nope, the toaster. Leo grinned at them weakly.

"MY KITCHEN!" Mikey cried.

"Sorry."Leo wheezed.

Grumbling about old fashioned older brothers, Raph left the room, glaring at Leo,soon followed by Willow and Ellie. Donnie decided to stay and watch the show.

Leo looked at Mikey apologetically. "I'll help you clean in up..."he started but was cut off by Mikey.

" No thanks bro I don't want you to destroy this kitchen even more because April will kill me,"Donnie sniggered at this comment and steered Leo out of the room. Now it was just Mikey, Pop and Riley.

As they cleaned the kitchen the three best friends chatted merrily, recounting adventures and sharing secrets.

"Hey have you guys ever thought about a world where mutants were accepted?"Mikey asked suddenly and the other two nodded.

"Just think, then we wouldn't have to worry about protecting our families as much.

As he said this the two girls froze. Riley saw her younger self playing with a joyful girl, however the girls face wasn't shown but just blurred, with vibrant blue hair.The laughter of the young girl rang in Riley's ears. Riley eyes widened as the young girl disappeared and turned into a blurred colours.

Pop saw more than one image. She saw her younger self having a pillow fight with two little girl. The first had firey red hair and the second had snow-white hair. The next image she saw was of her and a boy who had scruffy brown hair;they were throwing water balloons at the red-headed girl from the previous image.

Noticing the tension in the air, Mikey placed a hand on a shoulder each which pulled the two girls out of their thoughts.

"Are you dudettes okay?"he asked anxiously.

"I-Pop did you see yourself doing something you've NEVER done before?" Riley stuttered and Pop nodded shakily. "We've gotta tell Misty."

The two girls rushed to the purple haired room, leaving a confused Mikey behind. Without warning Pop ran into the door to Misty's room and fell onto her back.

" You could of used the handle you know,"Misty told the girls, opening the door.

The youngsters started babbling straight away but stopped when Misty put up a hand to silence them.

"I know you two are freaked out, just let me meditate on this,"Misty got into a meditative postion and signalled them to leave. With worried expressions on their faces they followed Misty's command.

When they left her calm smile became a frown. She'd have to look into this, she only hoped it wasn't a serious matter...

... Well chapter 2 is done! I wonder who those blurred people were? :D

Thanks so much for reading this chapter we really appreciate it. See you soon!
