"Are we there yet, papa?" Mikey asked from the backseat of the Shellraiser. "I'm bored!" He bounced in his seat.

Splinter chuckled from the driver's seat. "No, Michaelangelo, but we shall arrive shortly." He looks in the mirror at his sons in the backseat.

Mikey was sitting next to Leo and Raph was next to Donnie. "Thanks for taking us on this trip, father." Leo smiled.

Splinter was taking them for a three day camping trip in the woods of North Hampton. The teens were super excited to go real camping for he first time.

As kids, the boys would pretend to camp in the sewers. But it wasn't the same as the camping they saw on TV.

Splinter used to camp a lot as a human and was excited to share his love of camping with his boys. Plus, they all needed some fresh air.

"We can make smores!" Raph grinned as he held up a huge bag of marshmallows.

"I wanna take nature walk." Leo smiled as he adjusted his mask.

"I'd love to make a campfire and study the biological landscape!" Donnie chirped. "What about you, otouto?" He turned to Mikey.

"I wanna swim in the lake and toast marshmallows!" Mikey beamed.

Splinter smiled. "We can do all those things, boys. I will happily join you. This is our chance to relax and enjoy ourselves."

Soon, they were in the woods and setting up their campsite. They were in a safe area where no one would see them.

It was warm but not too warm. They put up three tents. One for Splinter and two for two pairs of turtles to share. But they were large enough to fit everyone if need be.

Mikey walked around and looked up at the sky. Fluffy white clouds sat in the creamy blue sky. The sounds of cicadas and birdsong graced their tender ears.

"Pretty!" Mikey smiled as he took pictures with his T-Phone. They all had bugspray, sleeping bags, pillows, flashlights, food, water, their weapons, and Donnie had a first aide kit.

Soon, everyone was roasting marshmallows by the fire and making smores. Splinter taught them how to safely start a fire and put up tents.

Miley made his smores with chocolate cookies, Nutella, and peanut butter. Leo made his with graham crackers, fudge topping, and chocolate sprinkles.

Donnie made his with white chocolate and strawberry syrup. Raph added whipped cream, dark chocolate, and editable googly eyes.

And Splinter used milk chocolate, oreos, and cheesecake bites. They all had massive sweet tooths and were okay with that.

As they ate and talked, Mikey played his guitar. He'd learned to play at a young age after Splinter found one in the junkyard. Mikey learned and mastered it all by himself.

Since they arrived at night, they soon went to bed. Splinter bid his boys goodnight and went fo his tent.

Raph and Mikey were sharing one while Leo and Donnie were sharing the other. "Hey, Mikey, did ya bring your regression stuff?" Raph asked as Mikey settled beside him.

"Yeah, just in case I slip." Mikey replied as everyone knew he used age regression and took care of him when he felt little. He always had a small bag with a few toys, pacis, his teddy bear, and other things. This was in case he regressed away from home.
