Prologue

I look towards to the clock; it's almost time to head out. I was meeting my brothers at our friend's place since our oldest brother came back to the states. I look towards the two pictures that line my desk. First was a picture of when we were younger, our father Yoshi was a kind man and after our mother died when we were very young so being quintuples our father had his full with us. Thankfully he we weren't identical so he never mistook us nor could we fool anyone. Still we love each other and took care of each other as we got older. Our father owned a dojo so we grew up learning all kinds of martial arts. Our oldest brother took over as head of the dojo when he was just fourteen because of father was getting tired and older. He took us it was nothing so we left him be. But after we turned eighteen our father got sick, our oldest brother wanted to stay home but after joining the service he was being sent away for training. Our father told him that if he didn't leave now that he would regret the rest of his life. The last picture we took as a family was when our eldest brother just entered the Army and was leaving for training.

Because after our eldest brother left for training, just a few months later our father passed away in his sleep.

Our oldest brother name is Leonardo. Reaching just over 6 ft. 2in. with short black hair, his bangs fell over his eyes angling to the left. Leo had pale skin and dark blue eyes in this photo but the last time I saw him he had the army uniform on with a buzz cut. That was two years ago. We talk on Skype and letters but this will be the first time in ages since he's been home. Leo's last letter told us that he's bringing a friend over who he hopes we'll get along with. As long as Leo comes home then that's all that matters.

Next is the second oldest brother, Raphael, he's 6 ft. with short red hair what was spiked in the back with the middle of his bangs falling across his left eye. He also had pale skin and reddish brown eyes. Raph was a detective with the NYPD. When we just entered high school Raph befriended a senior name, Casey Jones, they both got along and even worked part time out of Casey's father auto shop that was left to Casey after his death. But when we're all in our junior year Raph got a call from Casey's mother, Casey was shot in the shop and was being rushed to the hospital. Casey survived but lost movement in his right arm. The impact of what happened to Casey changed both Raph and Leo. While Raph wanted to go into the police academy Leo wanted to help on a bigger scale. Raph is now the youngest detective in the NYPD and we are very proud of him he keeps saying he's doing this for Casey and for those who live in constant fear because of those who live to hurt those weaker than themselves.

Then comes the baby brother of the group, Michelangelo, 5'10" with short blonde spiked in the back like Raph's but had short bangs falling across his forehead, pale skin and bright blue eyes. Mikey worked as a game tester and was going to school for design now. Mikey is the most carefree person out there trying to make everyone smile. He worries deeply for both Raph and Leo the most because of their jobs but he knows that they'll always come home. Our friend, April, was a friend of ours in high school and with her father's help they started a tech company called O'Neil Tech. Mikey and myself work there, Mikey test their games and helps them redesign them to make them for fun for the masses. Mikey also holds the high score record on all the arcade machines where he used to work in high school. He still goes down to help the owner but really he wants to see if he still has the high score on everything.

Finally there's me, Donatello, around 5'11" with medium length brown hair falling down the sides of my head with my bangs falling half way down to my nose, I have pale skin and hazel eyes. I work at O'Neil tech as a scientist while also going to college since you have to have the word Doctor in front of your name in this world. April and I are great friends and its true I did have a huge crush on her but after talking to her we came to the agreement to being just friends. April now is Casey's girlfriend and even though at first it pained me to see them like that I started to see how much they care for each other. Now I work side by side with April's father building O'Neil Tech bigger and expanding its trade with other countries.

But for now I'm leaving to go to Casey and April's place to see my brothers. I close my laptop and place my lab coat on the coat rack. I walk to the lobby to see Mikey waiting for me. We smiled at each other and left to go to the party.
