Note-this is based before Turtles Forever.


The small turtles turned to the boy, all frowning in concentration.

"Huh?" The smallest one asked.

"They're us." The brown eyed one repeated. "Where else are you going to find four giant turtles?"

The larger turtles blinked. Was it possible?

"If these little guys are us," Mikey started. "I think I've found little Donnie."

Leo took a step forward, then crouched down to their level. "Were did you come from?"

The baby kame all looked from one to the other for the answer, before the one at the front turned around.

"Our home." He said.

"Where's that?" Leo questioned, but now they could only shrug.

"So...what do we do with them?" Mikey asked.

"Look after them?" Donnie suggested. "Just until we can send them home."

"Doesn' look li'e we 'ave alotta choice." Raph stated.

"Besides," Mikey began. "it's us."

Leo turned around. "We think that you may have to stay here. Just until we can figure out a way to send you back."

The three turtles stood behind all looked to the one situated the front. They all looked to be waiting for his approval. He frowned for a second while he thought before looking back to Leo and nodding.

"Think I found li'le fearless." Raph said, to which Mikey and Donnie smiled. Then something caught Donnie's eye.

"Guys, look at their eyes." Donnie pointed out. "Blue, green and reddish-brown. We all have light brown."

"So?"

"Well we've always had light brown eyes, and these guys can't be older than about six. They probably are us. I mean, that kid's right, where else are you going to find mutant turtles, whether teenagers or kids? But if we're different to them, it probably means that they're not pacifically us from this zone."

"You mean, like...a different dimension?" Leo asked, getting up from his crouched position.

"It's possible. I mean, we've all been to different dimensions, two of us having met ourselves in said dimensions." He never would get those images out of his head... "So these guys could very well be us from another zone."

"Technical stuff aside," Mikey stated with a wave of his hand. "how do we take care of four kids?"

"We've taken care'f James." Raph pointed out.

"Yeah but that was for a couple minutes while April and Casey were too preoccupied to take care of their son. These guys could be here..." Leo started.

"Indefinitely." Donnie stated, glancing over at the young children who were sat down chatting together, having calmed down from their immediate fright. "Just until I can find out where they're from-and how to get them back."

"So what 'appens now? We take ourselves and 'ope their inta the same stuff we are?" Raph questioned.

"Guess so." Mikey replied. He walked forward to the group of their younger counterparts. "Hey, which one of you dudes is me? Mikey?"

The littlest one slowly stood up and walked to the front. "I am."

"Hey little dude, you wanna go hang out?" Mike asked.

The tiny turtle, now identified as Mikey, nodded his head quickly as a smile spread across his face. Mike returned the gesture and lead the child in the direction of his room.

The remaining teenage brothers looked to one another, before Raph walked over. "Any of you guys a Raphael?"

The emerald green eyed boy nodded once before getting up. "That'd be me."

Raph waved his arm once in the direction of the dojo, the counterpart following behind him.

"I'm guessing you're Donatello?" Don asked, indicating to the reddish-brownish eyed child who had first identified them as each others' equals. The child smiled a large grin and rose to his feet, following the purple clad teen to the lab

"So you must be me." Leonardo stated to the blue eyed toddler left, who nodded in reply.

"And you must be me." He retaliated. Leo smiled. Something told him that the two if them would get along fine.
