Leo, Mikey, Pinkie and Splinter entered the lab to meet the turtle who goes by the name Glacier Snowfall. Or just Snowfall. When Snowfall saw the turtle he had tried to find for weeks now, he just stared at him.

Mikey:"Um, Leo said you wanted to meet me?"

Snowfall:"Oh, yeah, it's a honor to finally meet you, Midnight Michelangelo Hamato."

Snowfall took Mikey's hands and bowed at him. That got Mikey a bit confused.

Mikey:"Um... nice to meet you too, but you don't have to bow at me."

Snowfall:"Sorry for staring at you, it's just that you look so much like your father. Except your eyes."

Mikey:"You know my parents?!"

Twilight:"He says it was your father who sent him here to get you back."

Mikey:"Really?"

Snowfall:"Yes, he and your mother wanted you to come back home. I understand if you want a moment to say goodbye to your friends and adoptive family. But I would like to get away as fast as possible."

Mikey:"Um, what?!"

As he heard that Raph stepped in between them.

Raph:"Who do you think you are!? You can't just appear out of nowhere and expect Mikey to just follow you to what country you said you came from just because you tell him to! We don't even know if you're telling the truth! And if you do, you can go back to Mikey's father and tell him that if he wanted his son he shouldn't have gave him away in the first place! Mikey stays here and that's it!"

Snowfall:"Do you need prove? Here. And for your information, his parents gave him away to save his life."

Snowfall hold up a piece of paper and Leo grabbed it. After taking a look at it his eyes widened.

Leo:"Mikey, is this your mom?"

The paper was a picture showing a turtle with dark green curly hair and blue eyes. She was dressed in an ice blue dress making her look like a queen and in her arms she hold a little freckled baby turtle in a blanket. Mikey looked at the picture and directly recognized her.

Mikey:"Yes, it's her. It is my mom."

The others took a look at the picture.

Donnie:"Wow, you have her eyes."

Fluttershy:"She looks so nice."

Rarity:"That dress fits her so good. She looks like a royal or something."

Twilight:"Do you think that baby can be you, Mikey?"

Pinkie:"Aww, you were so cute back then."

Raph just growled.

Raph:"Okay, so you do know his parents, but that doesn't change the fact that Mikey stays here!"

Splinter:"Raphael, that is enough. We all want Michelangelo to stay here, but it's not you who decides if he do."

Splinter turned to Snowfall.

Splinter:"I understand that Michelangelo's parents want him to come back to them. But I won't let you take him with you if he not choose to come with you by free will."

Snowfall:"Of course, I should have known that."

Splinter nodded and turned to Mikey.

Splinter:"The decision is all yours, my son. Take your time, and whatever you choose we all got your back."

Mikey just nodded and looked down on the floor. His hands automatically grabbed Pinkie and pulled her closer to him.

Pinkie:"Is everything alright, Mikey?"

Mikey tried to hold back his tears when he answered so quiet that only Pinkie could hear him.

Mikey:"I don't know..."

Later Raph was in the dojo assaulting the punching bag. That was when Applejack entered the room.

Applejack:"Raphie? What's happened? You are even more brutal than vampire bats before the apple harvest."

Raph:"Huh? Oh, hi, Applesweet... I'm okay, just a bad day..."

Applejack:"Is it about Mikey's parents apparently want him to come back?"

Raph let go of the poor punching bag and sight.

Raph:"I understand if Mikey want to meet his real parents, but... from that moment when we found out about all that stuff, I've just wanted him to forget about it, ignore it. I... have been a bit afraid that he would leave us. I don't want him to leave, I want him to stay here... with me. No matter what the science says, he's my baby brother. ............he can't leave..."

Applejack pulled him into a hug and Raph then started to cry on her shoulder. He knew Applejack wouldn't call him weak and neither tell anyone else about this. What happens between them stays between them, so he was fine with crying in front of her, if they was alone.

Applejack:"Shhhy, it's okay, everything's gonna be fine."

Raph:"But what if he decides to leave? I don't wanna find out how life would be without Mikey."

Applejack made eye contact with Raph and laid a hand on his cheek.

Applejack:"I know, but don't you think he deserves to know where he comes from? He now have the chance to find out who his parents are and where he was born. You can't just prevent him."

Raph:"...I know..."

What they didn't know was that Mikey saw the hole thing. He walked to the living room and sat down. Some tears fell down from his eyes.

???:"Mikey, how is it?"

Mikey:"I don't know, Pinkie. I don't know if I should stay here or go with Snowfall to... where ever he comes from. I don't want to leave my siblings and dad, but what if this is my only chance to meet my real parents? And I promised Leo that I won't abandon them. And most importantly, I don't wanna leave you."
