CH 23 Tying up the Loose Ends

A little while later Mona and Mondo had reached their old apartment building. "You sure you wanna do this Alex?" Mona asked, looking at her brother.

"Yeah," Mondo said. "I'm sure. We need to fix our relationship with Ma and Pop. They're still our family even after everything they've done."

"If you're sure," Mona said. "But how do we..." But Mona was snapped out of her thoughts by Nick and Irene emerging from the building. "Show time," Mona said softly. With that she and Mondo showed themselves.

"Hey Ma," Mondo said, surprising his parents. "Hey Pop."

"Alex?" Irene stammered, shocked to see her children before her. "Mona? What.."

"I've really missed you guys," Mona said, embracing her parents.

"Oh honey we've missed you to," Irene said, returning her daughter's hug. "But Alex you said..."

"Yeah I know what I said Ma," Mondo said sharply. "I was really mad. Still am actually. But me and Mona have been talkin' and we realized that despite what you all have done you're still our parents. And we wanna give our relationship another try."

"Son you don't know how much that means to us," Nick said, reaching for his son. But Mondo stepped back from his father.

"But that don't mean you're forgiven for what you did to our friends," the gecko said. "Its gonna take a long time before we trust you again."

"But we're willing to try," Mona declared. "But we'll be coming here. You won't be coming to our home 'til we can be positive that we can trust you again."

"Understood," Nick said with a nod.

"We're just glad you're willing to at least try with us," Irene said. "But why don't you guys come inside? Its pretty chilly out here."

"Good idea Ma," Mondo said as he and Mona followed their parents inside.

The next day April brought her friend Irma to the lair to meet Donatello. "Donnie this is my friend Irma Langinstein," April said, pointing to the girl beside her "Irma this is Donnie."

"How's it going?" Irma said with a smile. Irma was a tall, skinny girl with short dark hair with purple streaks in it. She also wore thick black glasses. Donnie laughed nervously and waved shyly. "You were right April he's adorably awkward," Irma said with a slight laugh. Then she looked at Donatello and said, "Don't be so nervous around me. I'm just a nerd like you."

"Yeah but you're a pretty nerd," Donnie said softly. Then he blushed as he realized he had said that out loud.

"You're sweet," Irma said with a smile. "But April tells me you got a lot of cool gadgets. Mind of I take a look?"

"Sure," Donatello said. "They're in my room. C'mon I'll show you around." With that the pair was gone.

"Looks like they're hittin' off good," Casey remarked.

"I told you they would," April said with a smile. With that the couple went to join the others, who were training in the spare room Mondo and Mona had.

A week past and Splinter had gathered everyone in the living room. "I have something I would like to say," the wise old rat began. "As much as my sons and I appreciate your hospitality Mona Lisa and Mondo Gecko I feel it is time for us to be moving to a home of our own."

"You guys don't have to go," Mona protested.

"Yeah we don't mind if y'all stay," Mondo said.

"It is getting rather crowded here," Splinter declared.

"But Sensei where are we going?" Leonardo asked.

"Yeah it ain't like we can go back to our old lair," Raph put in.

"I have found a lair that I feel would be suitable," Splinter declared. "During my walks in the sewers I have been searching for a new home that is well hidden and would be comfortable. And I have found just the place. Come I will show it to you." With that the group got up and followed Splinter into the sewers.

A few minutes later the group had reached an old abandoned subway station, very much like their old lair had been. Only this one was slightly smaller and was farther away from everything. But it had electricity and enough space for all of them. "Wow this place is great," Donnie said, his brown eyes wide.

"Yuck," Michelangelo said, sticking out his tongue. "This place is even dirtier than that farmhouse was."

"I think that if we all work together this place will be clean in no time," Leo said. "But I think this place is pretty cool."

"Yeah if you like cobwebs," Raphael muttered, crossing his arms. "But I'm sure it'll be great once its clean and junk." Just then the lights turned on and they heard Donatello's joyful laugh.

"We have power guys!" the genius turtle cried out, a gap toothed smile spread across his face.

"See Mikey," Leonardo said, looking at his younger brother. "This place'll feel like home in no time."

"I guess so," Mikey said. "But I am so not looking forward to cleaning this place."

"Well we may as well get started," Leo declared. With that the family began to clean their new home

A month past and thing were going really well for the group. Everyone was settling into their new home well. Donnie and Irma were getting close and both of them enjoyed fixing things around the lair. Mikey and Raphael's relationship had mended and the two were as close as they were before. Leonardo and Karai's relationship was going well and the pair was leading the Foot together. Michelangelo and Shinigami helped as much as possible too and the pair were joined at the hip much like Raph and Mona were. Mondo and Mona's relationship with their parents was getting stronger everyday but it was still hard for the siblings to trust heir parents. But they were sure with time that would change. Splinter was the happiest he had been in years. It gave the brown coated rat much joy to see his family so happy. The Shredder was gone for good and all was right in his world. At long last Hamato Yoshi was at peace.
