TMNT: Secrets of the Sewers

Discovery Day

Things had been rather quiet for the Hamato family since their reunion at Galactic Enterprises. For the first time in months, there were no villains to fight, no injured or missing family members to worry about, and even Hisako's nightmares seemed to have gone on vacation. Everyone was enjoying the peace and tranquility.

Of course, teenagers can only be peaceful for so long.

"Heads up Don!" Mikey shouted.

Donny looked up from his latest project just in time for a water balloon to connect with his face. He stood there for a moment, water dripping off of him and a blank look on his face. Mikey punched the air, grinning widely.

"Aw yeah!" he declared. "Perfect shot!"

Donnie shook his head, a small smile on his face as he reached for something under his work table. Seconds later, a water balloon connected with Mikey's face, cutting off his triumphant laughter.

"You were saying?" Donny asked smugly.

Mikey wiped his face, then he reached for the bucket of water balloons beside him. Or at least he tried, but his hand only met air.

"Huh?"

"Lookin' for something?" Raph asked.

Mikey froze, then slowly turned to see the red turtle standing beside him, holding the bucket of water balloons and tossing one up and down in his hand.

"Aw shell..." Mikey said, closing his eyes and bracing himself.

Both Don and Raph began pelting the orange turtle over and over, his shrieks filling the lair, as well as Don and Raph's laughter. In the dojo, Splinter, Miwa, Hisako, and Leo were all meditating, though the latter three couldn't help but smirk at the sounds.

"Sounds like Mikey's finally getting his comeuppance." Leo remarked.

"I'm surprised he didn't try to hit us." Miwa commented.

"He tried once." Hisako replied. "I just sent the water balloons flying right back at him."

Miwa giggled, imagining the look on Mikey's face as his own projectiles turned on him.

"Now that I'd love to see." she admitted.

"I'm pretty sure Donny has it recorded on his shell cell." Leo commented.

That got all three siblings laughing, and even their sensei couldn't help but crack a smile.

"While I am certain your brother deserves his comeuppance, I better go and make sure that his aggressors are not getting the living room soaked again." Splinter interjected, rising to his feet.

As Splinter left the dojo, the three siblings ceased their attempts at meditation, rising as well. Hisako gave a stretch, then glanced over at Miwa.

"Hey, there's this street fair going on down near the boardwalk." Hisako remarked. "You want to go check it out with me? Maybe we could even swing by the roller coasters and ride a few."

Miwa grinned.

"Sounds like a great idea." she replied. "I've been wanting to visit the boardwalk since I got to New York."

Hisako chuckled, then held out her hand. Miwa took it and the two dashed out of the Dojo.

"Dad, Hisako and I are going to that street fair by the boardwalk!" Leo could hear Miwa shouting as they made their way out of the lair.

"Have fun! And be safe!" Splinter called out.

Leo hear the sound of the doors to the lair opening and closing, signaling his sisters' exit. He went out to join his brothers, then he caught sight of the calendar that hung by the door of the dojo. He glanced at it, noticing a small note written on the current date.
