Raph: it's 2023 mikey

Mikey: sorry dad

Splinter: you met a human girl?!

Leo: no splinter she's a teenage mutant like us! Well a cat mutant- but not human so we're good!

Splinter: a cat?!

Leo: but she's not human so we're good!

Raph: Leo likes her

Leo: n-no I don't!

Donnie: you just called her cute

Mikey: it's obvious!

Leo: stop! We just met!

Splinter: enough! What is her name?

Leo: Elizabeth but she goes by Lizzie or Liz but it wasn't that big of a deal! She just talked to us and left!

Splinter: good I don't want any of you to forget why humans are disgusting monsters why they're dangerous and why they're going to milk us for our blood

Turtles: they're not that bad

Splinter: you know what I'm going to tell the story again. It all started 15 years ago I was a young rat but I was at the bottom of the world it was terrible. You know who hit me the most? Humans. But one day in the sewer everything changed

As a normal rat splinter found the turtles as baby's covered in the ooze

Splinter: you were the first things that didn't want to kill me or eat me. I couldn't just leave you there. You were covered in this ooze someone dumped in the sewer whatever this ooze was it transformed us

Splinter was mutated and so were the turtles. He raised them as his sons

Splinter: it was weird but we became a family and we trained in the art of ninjutsu. That's why I'm so strict you know? You boy are all I got and your all I'll ever have

Mikey: you don't know that

Splinter: I do! Do you know other mutants my age? You are very luckily you found a girl Leonardo

Leo: we just met...

Splinter: look I really don't want to do this no leave the sewer for one month!

Turtles: what?!

Leo: but you just said I found a girl to hang out with!

Splinter: I'm sorry but you'll see her in a month

Raph: this sucks!

Raph walked to the turtles bedroom

Leo: Raph come on!

Raph: shut up Leo

Mikey and Donnie walked passed Leo

Leo: mikey-

Donnie: is having a crush worth it Mr. Leader?

None of the turtles could sleep that night

Mikey: hey guys if we weren't monsters who were shunned by society and we could actually do what we wanted... what would you guys do?

Donnie: I mean if I'm being honest I'd just be normal you know?

Raph: yeah like go to high school

Leo: maybe get a girlfriend and go to prom with her?

Mikey: your still thinking about lizzie?

Donnie: you and her getting together is not likely did you even get her number?

Leo: ...no I didn't

Raph: I just got to get out of this sewer man! I mean I like you guys and all but I jus simply can not live a happy life knowing your faces are the lest things I'm going to see before I die

Leo: well guess what guys it's never going to happen as much as I want it to so let's just stop talking about it alright?

The four of them go to sleep
