Did I say I was going to wrap things up with the Foot mutants? Don't listen to me, I have no idea why I said that. So, here's an epilogue wrapping things up with Casey, April, Mikey, and Allie.


The groups' happy return was dampened when they stepped through the turnstiles, and saw Casey lying on the couch, alternatively trying to get up and flinching with the effort while April tried to keep him lying down. Hearing the turnstiles, April turned around to look at the guys, before her eyes locked onto Allie, who was sitting on Mikey's shoulders.

Hoping off of the couch, she ran to meet the returning party, yelling, "Allie!" in relief. As April got close Allie jumped off of Mikey's shoulders and into April's arms, and the teen pulled the little girl into a hug. "Allie, do you realize how worried you made us?" Allie looked up at her in guilt, before April, not wanting to make Allie upset, added, "Oh, never mind. At least you're back. "

Why would she run off in the first place, though? wondered April to herself, as she put Allie back down onto the ground, and watched the girl run over to where Caesy was still unable to get up.

"Hi mister! Are you ok? What's your name?" asked Allie rapidly, and April couldn't help but laugh. Same old Allie. She laughed even harder when she got a look at Casey's face. Even he seemed overwhelmed by Allie's enthusiasm.

"Uh, I'm Casey. Casey Jones" he felt like he needed to add. His name sounded pretty cool when it was all said out-loud, or at least to Casey it did.

"Casey Jones, huh?" asked the girl. It seemed to him like she agreed with him on his name. "Well, I'm Allie".

Before anymore could be said, Raph walked up right beside Allie, getting a good look at all of Casey's injuries. "Wow, Casey. Those Purple Dragons really got you good, didn't they?"

At his comment, Casey all but cringed in embarrassment, protesting, "They snuck up on me. If it'd been a fair fight I would have kicked their butts, and you know it, Raph".

"Whatever makes you feel better" he replied with a smirk. After a brief pause, he added, "By the way, if I were you, I'd be less worried about my injuries, and more concerned about Mikey's treatment. He's in the kitchen right now making his 'world-famous pizza noodle soup' to make you feel better".

At the mention of one of Mikey's signature (and infamous) recipes, Casey paled and looked towards the kitchen in dread. Allie looked towards the kitchen, too, but for a completely different reason. Mikey had said something about making soup, and he was starting without her! Giving Casey a quick "bye, nice to meet ya' (which he barely heard in his dread), she ran to the kitchen to find Mikey leaning over a huge pot on the stove. "Mikey!" she yelled at him, annoyed "Why did you start without me? You said I could help you make the soup!"

Mikey flinched at her accusatory tone, before turning to explain to her, "I-I thought you would want to rest or something instead. A lot of stuff happened tonight, and I thought you'd be too tired to help. I did have to carry you all the back here, remember?" he ended in a light, teasing, tone.

"Well, maybe," she pouted, "but I'm still not too tired to cook with you".

Mikey quickly resigned, he really didn't want to make her upset. Not after all that had happened tonight. Leaving his spoon where it was in the pot, he grabbed Allie under her arms, and hefted her onto the stool that sat right under the pot, telling her, "In that case, Sous-chef Allie-cat, why don't you stir? Together we can make this soup even faster, and Casey will be feeling better in no time".

Giggling, Allie grabbed the larger spoon in her hands and stirred, while Mikey sang nonsensically behind her as he grabbed more ingredients. Every so often, she would join in with lyrics of her own, before Mikey would sing along with her and the two would burst out laughing. Everything went the way it had before, and the events of the evening were quickly being forgotten. Mikey was here with her safe and sound, and Allie was sure that no bad guy would hurt them again. Not with her big brother Mikey around.


Ta-da! The end! Please, don't ask for any more. This story is done, I'm done with it. So, R&R.
