Turtles Forever

April's Artifact

The turtles, Casey, Yuuki, Mona, and Venus are at April's antique shop. They were helping her finish cleaning as she is about ready to reopen her shop.

"I can't thank you guys enough," April said as she hammers a nail into the wall. "If it wasn't for you, I might never been able to reopen the shop."

"Yeah, but if it wasn't for us, you'd still have your first shop," Leo replied as he scrubs the floor.

"One hundred bucks for this thing?" Mikey questioned as he sets down a typewriter. "It doesn't even have a monitor screen."

"Maybe it's your calling, Mikey." Yuuki teased.

"And what's with this weird floppy disc?" Mikey asked as he picks up an ink roll.

It smears ink all over on his fingers. He drops the ink roll. He looks around with a mischievous look then wipes his hands on a suit that's on a mannequin. He quickly turns it around so no one would see the three finger marks on it. Mikey whistles innocently as he walks away.

"I'm telling you, it should go in the front of the store!" Raph argues with Casey as they were carrying an suit of armor.

"Get your head out of your shell, it'll look way better in the back!" Casey argues.

Donnie finishes fixing and lighting up the OPEN sign. When he stands up, his bo staff accidentally knocks a glass chandelier. He places a hand on it to keep it from moving.

"Here Don, let me give you a hand with that," Leo offers. When he stands up, his swords knocks over a pile of glass bowls. As he quickly tries to stop them from falling, his foot ends up in the water bucket.

"That's it!" April growls in annoyance. "Weapons boys, fork 'em over!"

"But what if the Foot attack?" Mikey asked. "Or the...girl scouts?"

"You can survive without your weapons for one day," April tells him. She walks over to Raph. After he and Casey set the suit of armor down, Raph places his sai in the box with the other weapons.

"You know what, you're right," Casey said. "It should go in the front."

April walks over to Yuuki with the box "You as well."

Yuuki stares up at her innocently "What? You don't trust me? I'm hurt, April."

"Tell that to the fragile vase you nearly knocked over." April replied. Yuuki pouts and hands over her tessen placing it in the box with the other weapons.

April walks behind the counter and sets the box of weapons down. She picks up a picture frame of her when she was younger with her parents and another man.

"At last, the O'Neil family portrait can assume it's rightful place again," April said, proudly.

"Who's the guy next to your dad?" Leo asked.

"Him?" April questioned as she points to the man dressed in a safari outfit. "Oh, that's my Uncle Augie, August O'Niel. Uncle Augie was a real character, a head for figures and a heart for adventure. He used to disappear for months on end, traveling the world. We wouldn't hear a word from him. And then, suddenly, he'd just show up out of the blue with a suitcase full of trinkets and a million stories from his travels."
