Stitch Meets the Ninja Turtles

Chapter 4

"Mikey!"

"Leo!" Mikey smiled.

"We were getting worried about you." Leo said.

"Where you been?" Raph asked.

"Patrolling. And then I tried to rescue a girl that was getting attacked by the Purple Dragons. I saved her, but then nearly got taken into their custody, until this little guy showed up." Mikey now stepped out of the way, revealing Stitch.

Leo and Raph looked down at the little blue thing. Then they burst out laughing. "This thing- actually saved you? That's a good one!" Raph laughed.

"You can say that again!" Leo added.

Stitch hated being laughed at. He growled. But Mikey's bros wouldn't quit laughing. Stitch had to prove to them otherwise that he was not to be messed with. It was bad enough he had to put up with being called ugly and 'disconfigured' in Hawaii by Mertle Edmonds, Lilo's worst enemy her own age. But he wouldn't put up with it now.

Stitch leaped onto Mikey's taller brother and just knocked him to the ground, baring his teeth in his face. "Don't say I didn't warn you bros." Mikey said.

"What the-?" Raph gasped, as he laid there with a blue creature growling down at him.

"Hey!" Leo was in shock that something that small had taken down the biggest and strongest turtle. He drew his swords in case the thing was going to try to kill Raph. "Get off of him now!" Leo demanded.

"Stitch." Mikey said.

Stitch heard him. He growled at Raph one last time, then got off of him.

He got up. "Where did you find this thing?" Leo demanded.

"Like I told you. He was able to throw Hun right into a building across the street." Mikey said.

"Yeah right." Raph said.

"You want him to pounce on you again?" Mikey made a statement.

"Alright. We'll take your word for it, Mikey." Leo said. "But if he does anything more like that, he's out of here! Got it?"

"Got it." Mikey said. "Where's Don?"

"He's still busy. And I think he's still mad at you Mikey. Just be careful around him for now." Leo said.

"So, can Stitch stay?"

"Just until we find out who he belongs to."

"Yay!" Mikey shouted. "Come on, I want to give you the full tour of the lair!"

Stitch was a bit surprised, but he smiled and followed. Despite his size, Mikey, he saw was full of energy. He kept up.

Leo and Raph were a bit concerned about the creature Mikey had brought home. But now, Mikey had a companion that had energy like him. Someone to keep him entertained. Stitch could keep Mikey off their backs. It felt like a slight relief, but what would Don and Master Splinter say?

Leo was still worried that the creature was a danger to the family.
