Description
Ali nervously stood at the entrance of the dojo, starring at the large rat that meditated under the tree. Before she could think twice, he spoke "Is there something you needed, Ali?" A small gasp escaped from her lips. She nods, rubbing her arm, starring at her feet. "Please, sit." She looked up, seeing him gesture her to the small table that held tea. She slowly walked over and took a seat in front of him. He poured her a cup, she smiled taking the cup from his hands, smelling the sweet scented Herbs. She took a small sip, looking up at Master Splinter, watching as he poured himself a cup. "So what troubles you Ali?" Ali sighed, starring down into her cup, studying her reflection..."There is no need to be shy Ali, you can tell me..." She looked up at him, nodding as she took a deep breath "IDON'TKNOWIFIWANNABEHUMANAGAIN!!IFICAN'TREMEMBERANYONE!!BUTIREALLYDOMISSMYFAMILYANDFRIENDSIDON'TKNOWWHATTODO!!" She exhaled, Waiting patiently for his response. Eventually he spoke up "Maybe a little slower, so I may heard the problem more clearly." He said calmly, She sighed "Sensei..don't get me wrong, I love it here, your family...they've been so kind. Meeting you, your sons...everyone...it's amazing...Being a mutant wolf...I feel like I'm apart of this family. And I love your son, with all my heart....but....Donnie finally made the Retro-mutagen......now...I have a decision to make. I just don't know if I wanna stay or go.....what should I do?" Splinter stroked his beard, taking in everything she just said "I don't know...my child, that is a decision only you could make..." Her ears dropped, that wasn't the answer she wanted to hear...
"But..." She looked up "Let me tell you a story.." She nods
"As you know Many years ago...before I even had the boys...I was a man. A man with a loving wife and a newborn child, Miwa....My fomer friend Oroku Saki, The Shredder...Disowned me, cursing my name, he felt as if I had taken the life he was meant to have....Enraged with hatred, he sot out for revenge, attacking my home in the middle of the night...Causing a fire, Taking the life of my beloved Tang Shen....Now it has come to my attention that he taken my infant daughter that night, over the years raising her as his own...To which I've never know....After that fateful night...I seeked for a new life in New York...I had a nice apartment, a well paying job...I no longer had friends....I was lonely....On my way from work, I passed by a pet store. The building I stayed in didn't allow dogs nor cats or birds....and I wasn't very fond of fish...but the sign on the window caught my attention...'Turtles 4 Sale'...I decided to purchase them...all four of them...As left the store i peered down into the bowl. As strange as it might of seemed...I no longer felt lonely...I found myself smiling watching the turtles play around the bowl...They were so young and small...I noticed how different them seemed from one another...So I gave them all names...." Ali smiled
"Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo...." They said in sync Splinter smiled, continuing his story "Later on...I bumped into a strange man on the street...something felt 'off' about him...I decided to follow...As you already now the rest of that story...I took the turtles in, teaching them, Caring for them, I soon found myself raising them as my own sons....." He finish, taking a sip of his tea.
"Sensei...don't....don't you ever wish you could go back?" There was a short pause, Splinter sighed
"At first....but I thought it over..what is there left for me? If I did go back, who would watch over the turtles?...As I wanted...I could start a new life...With my Sons, in the sewers....And I did....."
"And the turn out?" Ali asked, He smiled
"I couldn't of asked for a better life....And know, my life is even better...My sons have become heroes, made friends...and found love...." She nods, sipping her tea. She set her cup down, looking up at him "Sensei?"
"Hmm?"
"Do...Do you think it's insane that maybe I didn't want to go back?" He shook his head, setting his cup down
"If you feel it is the right path, then no.....This is your decision alone....no one else can make up your mind...."
Ali thinks for a minute, before smiling at Splinter "Thank you, Sensei...I should of come to you first...." He smiles refilling their cups "Yes, perhaps..."
As she took a sip of her tea, the thoughts of The young turtles came to mind "Uh, Sensei?"
"Yes?"
"If you don't mind me asking...What were the turtles like growing up?" Splinter chuckled "Oh they were an interesting bunch..." Ali smiled, listening to every word, even laughing along with Splinter a few times when he'd mention Leonardo when he was young and New to Space Heroes...

.....Ah....Kids.....
