Family is Forever

Mystic Library

Aria's POV:

April was trying to give him a bath, but he poofed away and somehow got stuck in the mirror. So she called the others before calling Donnie & me in case they need help. When April, Donnie & I walk into the bathroom, Mikey, Leo, and Raph have smashed everything except the mirror.

April: "My bathroom!"

Donnie: "So you thought smashing everything but the mirror would get him out of the mirror?"

Raph: *gasps* "I could smash the mirror!"

Leo: "You can't smash the mirror with him in it. He might get trapped in the netherworld."

Suddenly, Mayhem's tail disappears into thin air.

Mikey: "Omigosh, he's fading! We gotta do something. Donnie, whip up one of your magic science potions and get him out."

Donnie: "Ok, magic science, no a thing, but, segue, whenever I get stuck with a tough problem, I look for answers at my local library."

The guys stare at Donnie in confusion.

Me: "Seriously? It's a big place full of books?"

Donnie: "They're like comics, but thicker?"

All: "Oh, ok. Like comics."

Donnie groans with a roll of his eyes as we head out towards the library.

{Time skip}

Once all the human employees have left, the turtles and I scour the aisles for books that might help us save Mayhem.

Donnie: "These walls contain the sum knowledge of entire civilizations!"

Mikey: *holds up a comic book* "Whoa! Jupiter Jim Saves A Cat!"

Leo and Raph huddle around Mikey in excitement while Donnie's smile drops in disappointment.

Donnie: "Yes, right."

Raph: "So where do we start? There's, like, a million books here."

Donnie: "But Raphael, a library is a treasure hunt. You never know what gems you may find along the way."

Leo: "Ah, like a book on how to catch? Heads up!"

Leo tosses a book at Donnie from behind, but I catch it before it can hit him in the head.

Me: "Ah, the irony."

Donnie: "Indeed, my Aphrodite. Aha, there's something interesting in the section on rocks."

Mikey: "Said nobody ever."

Donnie: "Ha, you're right. Geology stinks."

Donnie takes the geology book off the shelf, but it hovers into the air and envelops us in its pages. When it spits us back out, we seem to have traveled to a gigantic, mystic library in the Hidden City.

Donnie: *gasps* "Holy Gutenberg, it's magnificent!"

The five of us walk towards the tall reception desk where a bat yokai sits in her desk chair.

Donnie: "Watch and learn, gentle-turtles and milady."

Donnie crawls up the desk to greet the librarian.
