So once again I have been searching for Mystery Tapes to use as kernals to grow a character around basically asking the question 'If this Mystery Tape belonged to a Humanimal (Or other kind of animal person) what kind of animal would they be based on the tape's content, since I exsausted YouTube I decided to try the other video websites and found one Rumble someone streamed himself viewing all the Mystery Tapes he got from Goodwill I believe, what he found was some rodeo videos (The thought of Mutant Animals watching those kinds of animal sports seems weird) a horror movie on a tape that was labeled '60 Minutes' and then I show from early 2000s WB called Summerland follwed by the local news broadcast that day in Dallas Texas (Which is one of the reasons I love Mystery Tapes so much their like little time capsules of that particular time and place they were recorded, there was another tape later but I'll get to that later, but anyway Summer Land a show that heavily features the beach and surfing I knew would appeal to an Otter (And I was probobly influenced by the character of Dean Wilson the surfer otter in the movie Animalympics)
So once again lunch was a tuna sandwich, Enna didn't mind at all, compared to the mushy overcooked schoo cafeteria meat and vegetables she had, had for the past few months, it was practically the most delicious food she had ever eaten!
Jonathan watched her devour her food, as he calmly swirled the tea infuser ball in his cup of tea, he kept thinking he should get around to teaching Enna more proper table manners but after this morning he was content to just let her enjoy herself...
Then turning his thoughts to yesterday, and thinking about what Jervis described as the most pleasant fantasy she could think of...Jonathan clearned his throat as Enna finished her sandwich.
"Enna..." Jonathan said "...I wanted to ask you about that mind trap you put Jervis into, that pleasant scene on the beach...I remember what you said about your love of television, was that from some program you watched? Have you never been to an actual beach?"
Quietly Enna licked her fingers before responding "Yes..." She said "...Our TVs could only play video tapes and the tapes were given to us by the scientists, a few years ago, before things got really nasty, I asked the scienstists if they could find me a show about beaches and stuff like that, things I had read about in the lesson books but the most wet I had ever been was in the shower! But even only seeing pictures of rivers and lakes and oceans I knew I wanted to...Be there! So one scientist lady found this show called Summer Land about this family that lived on some beach in California and taped some episodes off the TV for me to watch...And I would watch those tapes over and over again...Dreaming of going to that Summer Land...Instead of the darky dingry lab where nearly everything is gray..."
"I see..." Jonathan said quietly as he took a sip of tea, once again ke kept feeling pangs of sympathy and he knew such feelings were dangerous...
Meanwhile as the Turtles were beginning their final preperations to leave for Gotham, they all thought about the words Splinter said
"What do you think he meant?" Mikey asked "That this will...Test our hearts?"
Leo sighed "I think..." He said "...That we're going to have to make a tough decision one that has no easy answer..."
That made all the Turtles quiet for a moment but then April, who along with Casey was there to help the Turtles prepare for their journey said "Well, remember Guys if you need any help you can always call."
So while this is a seperate story from the Neozoic Tales canon similar thing applies, in this story Fast Foreward and Back to the Sewer didn't happen but Turtles Forever did, the year is 2006 Summer Land ran from 2004 to 2005
