They had their fill of lunch and eventually set up for the rest of their play. It was a smooth transition despite the hiccups of being small children.

They were fast learners however. They were surprisingly very good at acting by the middle of their play.

"Wow Guys, you're better than me!", complimented April.

"Thank you thank you! I know right!", brighten Leo.

They broke character for the last time before deciding that was enough for the day.

"Want to do the final act tomorrow?", asked Raph.

Splinter nodded in agreement as he seemed to have a melancholy look in his eyes before getting out of his chair and walking quietly into his room.

They shifted uncomfortably at the sudden exit without flare and followed his example.

"Hey April, mind helping me uh take this down? It would be easier to set up for tomorrow if we do it now.", asked Leo.

"Sure thing!", April walked over with her bag before setting down.

Raph directed Mikey and Donnie to help too. They were half way done when a strange orb fell out of the forbidden cabinet of things Splinter told them not to touch.

Leo and Mikey went to pick it up at the same time. The moment their little hands were close enough to the orb, orange and blue sparks stung them and they recoiled in pain. They cried as they backed up.

Raph, Donnie, and April dropped what they were doing to run over to them.

"What happened?", they shouted in worry.

"This ball zapped us!", Leo exclaimed as he showed his hand.

A symbol appeared on his hand and Mikey showed his with a different symbol. Raph growled at the orb and tried to pick it up. It zapped him too.

April and Donnie looked at each for a minute; they too reached for the orb as they didn't want to be left out. It hurt but it was manageable.

I don't know but April's symbol stumps me

I don't know but April's symbol stumps me. I went with feeling and I am not sure what feeling hers is.

They looked at their hands. The symbols were clear except April's and maybe Raph's.

"What's mine supposed to be? It's a bunch a squiggly lines!", said Raph with a confused expression.

"I think it's a lightning bolt!", said Leo.

Mikey nodded in agreement. April had no clue what hers was.

"Mine doesn't make sense and doesn't even match you guys!", said April, a bit upset.

"That's okay April, we can just pretend it's a rocket or something!", calmed Donnie.

April relaxed and looked at the orb again.

"Now what? I don't know what touching it again will do. It hurt when we tried to pick it up.", questioned April.

They thought for a moment before getting the idea to get something from the kitchen to pick it up. It worked well enough and they sat it down on an open part of the cabinet.

"Okay, as long as we don't touch anything else-", Donnie says a little too late as Mikey grabbed a mechanical rod.

They all instantly vanished after a loud noise sounded off. Splinter screamed for them to quiet down. He wait a few minutes before saying thank you.

Bye!!

Will the weird marks have any relevance? Maybe, probably not. I forgot it hurt getting them so making them temporary tattoos wouldn't make sense like I wanted too....

I can still say it was a party trick orb- they just didn't handle it right.
