A/N: Here's the start of season 3 of TMNT 2003. Since this is a Christmas special, I thought I'd upload it just before Christmas, even if it's not very Merry this year. So stay safe and Happy Holidays everyone.

Also, please read and review?


On Christmas Eve night, as snow fell towards the ground and a bird flew through the sky and through the city.

Mikey: 'Twas the night before Christmas...

The city was covered in Christmas decorations, from lights to large ornaments.

..when all through the town, Turtle Santa drove like crazy to not let the kids down.

A truck drove down a street, while being chased by a car.

Instead of a sleigh...

Inside the truck was Mikey, who looked at the car through the driver's door window.

..a truck full of toys...

The toys in the back of the truck rattled slightly.

..destined to be the presents for good girls and boys.

A bunch of kids approach a Christmas Tree in a building.

But evil thieves...

The car keeps chasing after the truck, with Graham, Spike and Two Ton of the Purple Dragons inside.

..wanted to steal the toys at all costs.

Spike rose up from the car, aiming an RPG at the truck.

Poor, poor Turtle Santa...

Mikey gasps while turning to the car from the driver's window.

..all hope was lost.

Spike fires the RPG at the truck.


On Christmas Eve night in New York, as it snowed all over the city, Mikey was in Central Park, looking at a bunch of kids laughing from behind a tree. He saw two making a snowman, while another two sledded down a hill, being watched by their Father.

"Man, there is nothing like the Big Apple at Christmas time." Mikey said, wearing winter clothing. "I love it. Even if I have to wear this scratchy scarf."

He wrapped it over his mouth, the turned back to the kids, when a snowball hit him in the back.

"Hey!" he complained, turning around.

He saw a little boy holding a snowball up, while a sled was near him.

"Uh..." the boy stuttered, before hiding the snowball behind his back. "Sorry, Mr.. I wasn't aiming at you. I was trying to hit Jimmy."

Jimmy came up from behind a pile of snow behind Mikey, who turned to him as he approached him. Jimmy laughed nervously, then Mikey walked over to the other boy.

"Tell you what, kid. Let me borrow your sled for a bit and I'll call it even." Mikey said, holding his hand out.

The boy shook his hand, then Mikey began sledding down a small hill, lying on his belly.

"Wahoo!" he cheered, going over another hill, jumping it up.

He jumped it up again and spun around on it, then he got up and moved down a hill with it like on a skateboard or surfboard.

"Wahoo!" he whooped, jumping up and doing a loopy-loop.

He then moved it down a another hill while lying on his chest.

"Cowabunga!" he cheered, jumping it up.

Jimmy and his friend both stared at him as he went down the hill.

"Cowabunga?" the boy asked Jimmy.

Jimmy shrugged his shoulders, confused.

Mikey raced the sled towards a slope, which then made him fly into the air.

"Ah!" he gasped. "AHHH!"

He flipped backwards in the air, before he and the sled came shooting down towards the ground, landing on the snow hard, him on his shell.

"Bleach." he said getting up, knocking some snow off his beak.

He got up and wiped some snow from his clothes, before he turned around and stared at the spot he landed.

"Hey, I made a Snow Turtle." he said. "Maybe I'll start a new trend."

"Hey, Mr., you do some slick tricks." the boy remarked, approaching Mikey as he rearranged his scarf. "You're alright."

He took his sled back, then turned around and walked away, as Mikey turned to him.

"Yep, best town in the world." Mikey said, lowering his scarf.

He fell back onto the snow.

"Especially at Christmas." he said, before he began to make a Snow Angel, laughing as he did.

"Wa-ha-hoo!" he cheered. "Yeah! Wahoo!"

A stray orange cat then showed up near his face.

"Meow." it said.

He opened his eyes and stared at the cat, making him roll over and get to his knees.

"Ah. Poor little guy." Mikey said, feeling sorry, stroking its head. "All alone out here in the cold. No collar. Hmm?"

He picked up the cat as he got up.

"Come on." he said, putting the cat under his coat. "You'll nice and warm in here, and maybe we can find you a home."

The cat meowed softly.


Meanwhile, in the lair, Splinter hung up a Japanese paper crane outside his room, where another seven already were, along with a Christmas wreath on top, and some tinsel on either side. He then turned and walked away, as Leo and Elisa both put tinsel around one of the pillars each, while Donnie and Cath sorted out a table, which had a box of ornaments on, and a Jewish Manoah.

The elevator door then opened, and then April came in as Splinter approached her, while Casey stood inside it, carrying Christmas Tree.

"Ah, April, you have returned." Splinter said.

"With the tree, as promised." April said, pointing at it, before holding up three fingers. "We had to go to three different lots. They're almost all sold out."

Casey stumbled back and fourth while holding the tree, as everyone stared at him - Raph from the upper level.

"Hey, don't worry about me." he said, standing in the doorway, as April and Splinter both walked off. "I don't need any help or nothing."

The door then closed on him and the tree.

"OW!" he yelled.

"Hey! Hey, Case, watch the tree, will ya?" Raph asked. "We don't want it damaged."

The door opened up again, allowing Casey to come in with the tree.

"Whoa!" he said, turning back as the door closed.

"Uh!" April sighed in annoyance.

"Oh, boy." Elisa muttered, face-palming herself.

"You okay, Casey?" Cath asked.

"No. No, I'm okay." Casey assured. "Thanks for all your concern. I didn't brake nothing. I just had a huge stone elevator door slam shut on my head! No biggy."

Raph jumped down from the upper level, then ran to Casey and caught the tree as he nearly fell over with it.

"Yeah. You're lucky it was your head and nothing important." Raph joked.

Cath jumped up and ran towards them both.

"Casey, are you sure you're not hurt?" she asked, going into doctor mode.

"Yeah, I'm fine." he assured. "Just bruised a little."

"Okay, then." Cath shrugged. "But let me know if the pain gets worse."

"Got it." Casey assured.

Splinter and April walked down a ramp towards Leo and Elisa, who approached them, as Raph and Casey followed them with the tree.

"Perhaps we had best start cooking the dinner." Splinter suggested, as Donnie approached them with the box of ornaments.

"Count me in." April said. "Cooking the Holiday dinner's almost as fun as eating it."

"That's not what Mikey would say." Leo said, laying down a circular blanket with a hole in the middle.

"Yeah. Where is that bozo? I' starting to worry about him." Raph admitted, before he and Casey put the tree down in the center of the blanket. "He's been gone all day."

"He better have a good reason for being late." Elisa said, as Cath approached everyone.

"Come on, it's Christmas Eve." Donnie said, as Leo approached him. "Even Mikey couldn't get into trouble on a night like tonight."

"Unless he stops by the Toy Store." Leo said, taking a ornament out of the box, which resembled a log. "Again."

"That goofball." Elisa moaned. "Well, he better not take too long, since Christmas is about family."


In the city, Mikey stood outside a Toy Store, staring at a bunch of toys in a window, wiping the window with his hand so he could see better, while it had stopped snowing.

"I... I can't take it!" he said. "They've got the new Sgt. Guts and Glory action figure with remote control Tank. And they've got the new Capt. Frantic Space Probe, and the Mavis Moon Jumper. And of course, they're sold out of the Lil' Orphan Alien dolls."

He crouched down while looking at the stuff closest to the window.

"Boy, those things just won't stay on the shelf." he said. "That's one hot toy."

The cat came out of his coat and meowed.

"You said it, Klunk." he said, taking the cat out of his coat while getting up. "You don't mind if I call you 'Klunk', do you? I always wanted a cat named Klunk."

He tickled Klunk's belly, when a noise got both their attentions.

"NO!" a man said. "Get back!"

Mikey put Klunk back in his coat, then peeked around the store's corner, and saw two Purple Dragons - Two Ton and Sunny - standing near a truck with the man.

"Leave me alone!" the man cried, as Sunny leaned against the truck, which was full of boxes. "What do you want?"

"Just your truck." Sunny smirked, as Spike came out from the back of it and crouched down.

"And all the Lil' Orphan Aliens in it." Spike said, holding up one.

"You can't steal this truck!" the man insisted. "This whole lot of Lil' Orphan Aliens is being donated to the Brown's Street Children's Home."

Mikey dashed across the street as he kept staring at the Purple Dragons.

"Have a heart, will ya?" the man begged. "It's Christmas."

Spike threw the toy back into the truck.

"And that's why we're giving ourselves this truck." Sunny smirked. "It's our Christmas present."

The man whimpered as Sunny and Two Ton both approached him at gunpoint.

"Ho, ho, ho, bozo!" Two Ton snarled.

He whacked the man with the butt of his gun, knocking him down.

"AH!" the man moaned, landing on his chest.

The Purple Dragons laughed and turned to the truck.

"Man, just imagine how much we'll get for these things on the internet." Sunny said.

"These Lil' Orphan Alien dolls go for five times what you pay for them in the stores." Spike said, patting a box, before jumping out of the truck.

"And we didn't pay nothing." Two Ton sniggered.

They all laughed, as Mikey looked at them from the roof of the truck.

"They haven't paid yet, but they will." he said, shaking his head. "Better lay low, Klunk."

He opened his coat slightly, allowing Klunk to go down it.

"Things might get a little rough." Mikey said.


In the lair, Leo and Elisa stared at the tree, which was placed in front of the TV's, as Raph came over with some small swords.

"Raph, what's with the, uh, Butterfly Swords?" Leo asked.

"Just trimming the tree." Raph replied, as he began to slash it with the swords.

Once he'd finished, it looked like a normal Christmas Tree.

"Impressive." Elisa remarked.

"Man, I'm good." Raph said, putting his hands on his hips, before turning to Leo. "I should've been a barber. Little of the top?"

"Uh, no thanks." Leo said.

Donnie then came over with a bowl of cookie dough.

"Christmas Cookies are in the oven." he said. "Who wants to lick the bowl."

Raph snatched it from him before the others could.

"This is sweet." he said, as he began licking the bowl. "Normally Mikey hogs all the good stuff."

Cath came over with the box of ornaments.

"Yeah, true." she said. "For the guy he is."

"Maybe we oughta go look for Mikey." Leo suggested.

"Yeah, he's later than normal, even for Christmas." Elisa noted.

"Nah, he'll be okay." Raph said. "He's probably on his way back right now."

"I hope you're right." Cath said, worriedly slightly.


Back in the city, Mikey jumped down from the truck, and landed in the middle of the three Purple Dragons, catching them by surprise.

"Ah!" they gasped.

Mikey put his hands on the ground and spread his legs out, before wrapping them around Sunny's chest, and then he threw Sunny into Spike.

"UH!" they moaned, hitting the ground on their backs.

Mikey jumped up as Two Ton fired at him, then he twirled around in the air, before diving down and kicking Two Ton in the face, knocking him down and away. Spike, Sunny and the man all looked up at Mikey, before Spike got up, clocked his gun and aimed it at him.

"Ah!" Mikey gulped, turning to him.

Two Ton sat up as Mikey raised his hands slightly. Spike then fired at him, but missed as he jumped up, back flipped through the air and landed behind Two Ton, who then picked up his gun and turned to him. Mikey turned right and ran off, as Spike ran over to Two Ton and aimed his gun at Mikey, who then turned around.

Spike fired his gun at Mikey, who jumped up and back flipped, landing near a wall, and then he ran off to his left.

"Whoa!" Mikey yelped, diving behind a dumpster.

Spike kept firing, before turning to Two Ton and Sunny.

"Get the truck!" he said. "We're outta here!"

Spike fired at the dumpster as Sunny and Two Ton ran to the front of the truck, and then got inside it. Sunny then drove the truck away slightly, racing past Spike, who then hopped inside.

Mikey came out from behind the dumpster, and saw a wire sticking out from the back - as it was open. He jumped up onto the dumpster, then up to a clothes line above him, grabbing it before swinging it back and forth, making it spin in circles.

"Ah!" he yelped, as he let go.

He dived down towards the truck and banged his arm against it.

"Oh!" he moaned, before landing on the ground on his shell.

He looked at the truck in horror, before he grabbed the wire, which then pulled him away, making him move like he was water skiing.

"AHH! Ahh!" he yelled.

The truck turned left into the city, making Mikey kick over a mailbox as he kept hold of the wire.

"Ah!" he groaned, before the truck sped off. "Whoa! Oh! Uh!"

He turned onto his shell, as Klunk came out of his coat and meowed.

"Hang on, Klunk. I'm kinda busy right now." Mikey said, as he pulled himself closer to the truck.

Sunny drove the truck past a pile of plowed snow, making some splatter all over a car, as Mikey got to his feet and kicked them against the car.

Spike looked through his door mirror, and saw Mikey holding onto the wire, like he was water skiing.

"What the?!" Spike exclaimed, before turning to the others. "That punk that attacked us is sketching on the back!"

"Not for long, he ain't." Sunny said.

He turned the truck to the right, making Two Ton fall onto Spike.

"Oh!" they moaned.

Mikey kept hold of the wire, but then fell and spun around on the ground while keeping hold of it. He then managed to get on his feet, just as the truck rammed and smashed part of a car while turning left, making him jump on it briefly, before he jumped off again.

"Whoa!" he yelped, landing on the road.

Sunny turned the truck left again, hitting another car slightly, making it turn, then causing Mikey to jump and run along it. He then ran along another two cars, jumping off the latter afterwards.

"This isn't so hard." he said.

He laughed as he began jumping along the cars parked next to each other, doing some flips and somersaults as he did.

"Ha, ha! Hi-o sliver!" he whooped.

He landed back on the road while keeping hold of the wire.

"I got it all under control." he said.

He jumped up, when the truck ran over and smashed a fire hydrant, spraying water upwards, making Mikey fly up slightly, but he kept hold of the wire. He then landed on the ground on his shell and spun around on it.

Sunny turned the truck to the right, as Mikey skidded on his butt.

"Ho, ho, ho! Merry..." he said, before banging his shell against a car. "..Bumpy Christmas. Lucky for me, I have a shell, right Klunk?"

Sunny kept driving the truck down the street, before he saw Mikey in the door mirror.

"I don't believe it!" he exclaimed. "That monkey's still back there!"

"Bring him up front!" Two Ton snarled, as he and Spike clocked their guns. "We'll take care of him."

"You got it." Sunny said.

He hit the brakes, pulling the truck to a stop.

"Whoa!" Mikey yelped, skidding under the truck.

He then came out of the other side, then Klunk emerged from his coat.

"Ha, we made it." Mikey said.

Klunk ducked back into his coat, as Spike and Two Ton smashed open the truck's front window, and aimed their guns at Mikey.

"Then again..." Mikey said, flipping onto his feet.

Two Ton and Spike fired their guns at him, making him roll to his left, before jumping onto a car. He then jumped onto the back of another, then onto the road, and then onto the hood on the truck. He then jumped onto the roof as Spike and Two Ton fired at him, making them fire onto the ceiling above them.

"Whoa!" Mikey yelped, dodging the bullets as he sat down.

He then jumped backwards onto the main part of the truck, as Spike and Two Ton stuck his head out of the front window area, and fired again. Mikey then handspringed backwards along the truck, then back flipped off it and onto the ground.

"He went in the back with the dolls!" Spike frowned.

"Well, go take care of him, permanently." Sunny snarled.

Spike and Two Ton got out of the truck and ran towards the back of it. Once there, Spike moved to the other side, so they both were hiding behind door each. They the opened the doors up and aimed their guns, but couldn't see Mikey, only the boxes.

"You see him?" Spike asked.

"I don't see nothing." Two Ton said. "Maybe he ain't in there."

Mikey then however, swung forward and kicked both thugs away, while hanging onto something on the ceiling.

"AH!" Spike moaned, as they hit the ground.

"OH!" Two Ton groaned.

Mikey landed on his feet near them.

"Merry Christmas, boys." he smirked, before punching his fist. "I got you something; it's a kick in the stomach. Hope you liked it"

He picked both Spike and Two Ton up, before kicking them both away, as Sunny looked through the driver's seat window, seeing them.

"I don't believe it! He took out Two Ton and Spike!" he exclaimed, turning back to the road.

He took a phone from his jacket and dialed a number.

"Yo, it's Sunny. I'm on 18th and 1st." he explained. "I got some freak on my case. I could use a little backup."

The Purple Dragon on the other end mumbled.

"Got it." Sunny said. "I'll meet ya halfway."

He revved up the truck, spraying snow all over Mikey - who turned to it - Two Ton and Spike. The truck then sped away, but Mikey jumped and grabbed one of its back doors, holding onto it tight.

Sunny skidded the truck along the road, when a man on a mini scooter came towards it.

"AHHH!" the man yelled, covering his eyes with his hand.

"Where's he going?!" Sunny exclaimed, turning the wheel.

The truck skidded to its right and crashed into a car, then the man fell off his scooter and skidded along the road. Once he stopped, he turned back as the truck kept racing on.

"Call the cops!" Mikey yelled, as the man got up "Those guys are crooks! They're trying to hijack this truck!"

The truck turned left down the street, as the man turned to his scooter.

"Uh!" Mikey grunted, hanging on to the door.

He took out a Shuko Spike from his pocket, and dug it into the door. The truck then skidded to its right, making the door flap against it, then Mikey climbed towards the roof before the door went back, hanging onto the side. He put a Shuko Spike on his other hand, then moved slowly along the roof.

"Ah!" Sunny gasped, spotting him in the door window.

He rammed the truck against a car before racing it on, but Mikey still kept hold of the roof. He then let go and ran along the roof of a car, before he jumped back and grabbed the front of the truck.

"Ah!" Sunny gasped.

A Police Car then pulled over in the next street, as the truck turned right and then raced towards it.

Mikey then opened the door as Sunny turned to him.

"I think this is where you get off." Mikey smirked, grabbing Sunny's shirt.

He then threw Sunny out of the truck and onto the Police Car, which had the same two Officers in when Shredder burned down April's old store.

"OH!" Sunny moaned, his face hitting the front window.

"This is 1 Bravo 14, we got the third prep who hijacked the truck full of toys." the older officer said into the radio. "Looks like there's a still fourth hijacker hanging onto the truck."

Mikey got into the truck, and closed the door.

"And now for the fun part, driving" he said, fastening his seatbelt, before Klunk popped up from his coat. "Check it out, Klunk."

He drove the truck down a street, when an orange car with yellow flame patterns on the front raced towards it. Inside was Two Ton, Spike and another Purple Dragon - Graham - who had the wheel.

"Uh..." Mikey gulped, spotting them.

The truck and the car sped towards each other, as there was no road turning away.

"AHH!" Mikey screamed.

The truck and car kept racing towards each other.

"Whoa! What would Raph or Ellie do in a situation like this, Klunk?" Mikey wondered.

Klunk meowed softly, before ducking under his coat.

Mikey then hit the peddle, thinking what Raph and Ellie would do in this case, as the Purple Dragons stared at him.

"He ain't gonna stop!" Graham panicked, as Mikey kept racing the truck towards the car. "He ain't gonna stop!"

Spike and Two Ton screamed, as Graham drove the car around the truck, barely scratching the side of it, before he pulled the car to a stop. He then revved it up again, and then raced it after the truck.


In the lair, Donnie, Cath and April were laying a long table for the Turtles, Splinter, April, Casey and guests they'd invited over. After putting the plates down, Cath put a napkin down by each one, then April put a knife and fork down over each napkin, then Donnie put a glass cup next to them.

The elevator door then opened, getting everyone to turn to it, as Casey, Raph, Elisa and the guests showed up - the guests all blindfolded.

"That will be our guests." Splinter deduced.

Casey, Raph and Elisa led the guests into the lair, which were Angel, Silver Sentry, the Professor and two of the Homeless men who were kidnapped by the Garbageman over a year ago - the skinny one called Ernie and the chubby one called Phil.

"Sorry about the blindfolds." Casey said, even through Ernie had put his hat over his eyes. "Matters of security and all that jazz."

"You know, I can see through this blindfold with my X-Ray vison, right?" Sliver Sentry said.

"Just play along, will ya?" Raph asked quietly. "It's for Master Splinter."

Sliver Sentry turned around, then Raph took off his blindfold.

"He's got this thing about letting people know where we live." Raph explained, as Sliver Sentry turned back to him.

Ernie raised his hat up, as Elisa took off Angel's blindfold, Casey took off the Professor's, and then Raph took off Phil's, as everyone else came towards them.

"Merry Christmas everybody." April said.

She hugged Angel, as Donnie touched the Professor's shoulders.

"And happy Kwanza." the Professor said, touching Donnie's shoulder, before turning to Splinter. "Thank you so much for inviting us."

"You are all welcome in our home." Splinter assured.

"Man, those dudes wear their Turtle costumes even on Christmas." Phil whispered to Ernie.

"Uh, yep." Ernie said.

Cath shook her head happily.

"So, where's my sidekick?" Sliver Sentry asked, as Leo and Raph looked up at him. "Where's the Turtle Titan? I thought Michelangelo would be here."

"Yeah, so did we." Raph said.

"Don't worry, he'll be here any minute." Leo hoped.

"Even though he's normally here by now." Elisa said, approaching them.


In the city, Mikey kept racing the truck down a street, as the car kept chasing after him. He saw it through the door window, making him grit his teeth in annoyance.

Spike pulled the sunroof back, then got up and aimed at RPG at the truck, making Mikey panic and turn to Klunk.

"Wha? What should I do, Klunk?" he asked frantically.

He thought for a minute, before he saw two men standing at the back of truck, which had two ramps down at the back.

"It's what James Bond would do." Mikey said.

Spike fired the RPG, as Mikey skidded the truck to the left slightly, pulling the left side of it up, so only its right wheels were on the road. The RPG round then missed the truck, before Mikey put it back down on all four wheels. The RPG round then hit and destroyed a car, making it catch fire, as several more were damaged, before the truck drove past them.

"Do something?!" Graham cried.

"Get me closer! I'll blow out his tires!" Two Ton said, as Spike ducked down into the car.

Graham moved the car closer to the truck, then Two Ton leaned out of it and aimed his gun at the truck. Mikey looked at the car through the mirror, but then hit the brake, making the truck skid to a halt.

"Not that close!" Two Ton gasped, his eyes wide, before he ducked back into the car. "Not that close!"

The three Purple Dragons braced themselves, before the car hit the back of the truck, making it spin around slightly. It then fell onto its back, then bounced up and landed upside down on top of two cars.

"Uh! Nice driving, dipstick!" Two Ton remarked sarcastically.

Mikey then drove the truck off down the street, before turning to Klunk.

"Tailgaters." he said, chuckling.

The truck then raced off away from the car.


In the lair, Leo, Donnie, Cath, Splinter, Phil, Ernie and Silver Sentry all began decorating the tree. Leo put on a yin yang pendent on the tree, as Donnie and Ernie put the tinsel on, then Silver Sentry flew up and put the star on the top. Cath then put on a burble with the red cross symbol on, before turning to April and Casey, who were finishing sorting out the table, putting the rest of the plates and napkins on.

Casey then looked up, and saw Mistletoe above them both, making him smile.

"Yo, what do you know?" he said, getting April to look pup. "Mistletoe. Ain't we suppose to kiss or something?"

He leaned towards April, who backed away.

"That's not enough Mistletoe to make me kiss you." she said, touching his chest. "I'm afraid you'll need a whole tree."

She walked off down the table, followed by Casey, who then saw another Mistletoe above them, as they both put down a plate and napkin respectfully.

"Whoa. Check it out, more Mistletoe." Casey smirked.

He leaned in to kiss April, who turned her head away from him. She put the last plate down, and then walked past him, making him open her eyes.

"April, wait up!" he called.

He ran after her while dropping the last napkin onto the table.

"Wait up?" he called.

The Mistletoe moved along a clothes line above them both, before Casey touched April's shoulder, getting her to turn around.

"More Mistletoe." he smirked, pointing at it. "There's no way out of it. You gotta kiss me."

April backed away, then frowned as Casey and the Mistletoe moved closer to her. She walked around him and turned to him, as the Mistletoe moved around so it was between them.

"Look; it's following us." Casey said, putting his hands together near his face. "It's a sign, a sign from above."

"Exactly!" April sneered, ripping the Mistletoe off the line.

Casey turned around to those decorating the tree, and saw Raph and Angel both sitting on a pipe above it, holding onto the line. They both smiled and blushed in embarrassment, as Cath turned to them.

"Hiya, April." Raph said, waving. "What you got there; Mistletoe?"

He chuckled as Angel smirked.

"Jones, did you put them up to this?" April asked, frowning as Casey turned to her.

"No. Never." Casey assured, blushing. "Uh, maybe."

April put her hand on her chin, thinking for a moment.

"Okay, then...pucker up." she filtered.

Casey did that, but then she slapped him across the mouth with the Mistletoe.

"Oh. That's gotta hurt." Angel said, looking down.

"Right in the kisser." Raph commented.

Cath shook her head while smiling, before she turned to Elisa, who was putting a wreath up on a pillar.

"You okay, sis?" Cath asked, approaching her.

"Sorta." Elisa replied, turning to her. "But I'm really starting to get worried about Mikey. He's been gone way longer than normal."

"I know what you mean." Cath sighed. "It's like when Leo was ambushed by the Foot the night April's old place burned down."

"I'm starting to wish he took his Shell-Cell with him, so we could at least call him." Elisa groaned.

"Same here, sis. Same here." Cath said, touching Elisa's shoulder.

A bright light then came out of nowhere, getting everyone's attention, before a portal rose up from the river entrance. Splinter and Leo approached it slowly, Leo holding a sword behind his back, before the portal vanished, as the Daimyo, Usagi and Gen appeared.

"It is an honor to be in your home, Splinter-Sensei." the Daimyo said, as they bowed.

"The honor is all mine." Splinter assured, as he and Leo bowed.

"Corice suma sur mi dato Leonardo-san." Usagi said, before pulling a sword out from behind his back. "I got you something."

"A sword? Wicked." Leo said, taking it, before showing Usagi the one behind his back. "I got you something too."

"A sword?" Usagi said, taking it. "What a wonderful gift."

"It's like those two are long-lost twins." Elisa whispered to Cath.

"Yep. Weird." Cath said, waving her finger around near her head.

"Nice letter openers, boys." Gen frowned. "Now where's the free chow? I'm starving."

"Please, come, all of you." Splinter said. "All are welcome at our table."

All five of them turned and walked towards the tree.


Back in the city, three Police Cars were chasing after the truck with its sirens wailing, as Mikey kept driving it off.

"I finally ditch those Purple Dragon bozos, and I end up on the World's Scarcest Police Chase!" he exclaimed in disbelief.

He turned around to the cars through the window.

"Yo, I'm one of the good guys!" he called.

He turned back to the road in annoyance, but then gasped when he saw a roadblock made of two more Police Cars ahead of him.

"Hello, buffle beast roadblock." he gulped. "For what I'm about to do, forgive me."

He hit the peddle and sped up the truck towards the roadblock, making some of the officers run away scared.

"Ah!" the older Officer gasped, before he ran off.

Mikey smashed the truck against the cars, knocking them over, then he turned around as he kept racing the truck down the street.

"Sorry about that!" he called. "Sorry!"


Back in the lair, Casey and Sliver Sentry were now arm-wrestling each other, as the others all watched and cheered, expect Elisa and Cath.

"This isn't gonna end well." Cath sighed, folding her arms.

"Nope." Elisa agreed.

"Yeah!" Donnie cheered. "Yeah, get him! Yeah!"

"Way to put..." Raph said.

"Go Casey!" Angel cheered.

"Yeah, get him, Casey." Raph said.

"Very good..." Usagi said.

"You can do it." the Professor said.

Silver Sentry yawned, as Casey started to sweat.

"Yeah!" Donnie whooped.

"Get him, Case!" Raph cheered.

Silver Sentry then pulled Casey's arm down, sending him flying against a pillar Elisa and Cath were near.

"Ouch." Elisa said, as he fell down onto his back.

"Forgive me, Mr. Jones. I don't know my own strength sometimes." Sliver Sentry said, getting up.

Casey frowned at him.

A little later, he tried again, with Raph's help this time.

"Yeah!" Donnie said.

"Let's go!" Angel whooped.

"Get him!" Donnie cheered.

"Casey!" Angel and Donnie said.

"Very good." Usagi said.

Silver Sentry then pulled Casey and Raph's arms down, sending them both flying into the same pillar.

"UH!" they moaned, falling onto their backs.

They rolled onto their chests and stared at Silver Sentry.

Later, April had a try, this time with no one cheering.

"Yo, April, give it up, will ya!" Casey said. "Raph and I couldn't beat him."

They both nodded at each other.

"There's no way you-" Casey began.

April then pulled Silver Sentry's hand down, shocking everyone, before he went flying into a pillar.

"OW!" he said, before falling onto the floor as a piece of tinsel fell off it.

"Huh?" Elisa and Cath muttered, confused.

"You were saying, Casey Jones." April said, walking past him, Raph, Usagi, Gen and the Daimyo.

A little later, Silver Sentry leaned against a bench in the kitchen, when April approached him with a tin box.

"Thanks." she said, holding her thumb up. "I think they fell for it."

Elisa and Cath both peeked out from behind a pillar and stared at them both, curiously.

"My pleasure." Silver Sentry said.

April took the lid of the tin box, showing a bunch of cookies.

"And as promised, you're reward." she said, holding it up.

"She bribed him." Cath whispered, shocked.

"Well, I'll be..." Elisa muttered.

"Actually, the look on those guys faces was award enough." Silver Sentry said.

"Okay." April said, closing the tin, before she turned around. "I'll just give three dozen of my famous double chocolate cookies to the guys then."

"No, no!" Silver Sentry said, taking the tin from her as she started to walk off. "I didn't mean that. I'll take 'em. I love cookies."

He began to eat them, as April turned and walked off, while Cath and Elisa both hid behind the pillar.

"Shall we tell Raph and Casey?" Cath asked quietly.

"Nah. Let them figure it out for themselves." Elisa replied, shaking her head. "Might help prove that girls ain't weak like people think."

"Okay." Cath smirked.

They then bumped fists together.

A little later, Splinter was meditating while holding the orb the Utroms had giving him, allowing him to see Master Yoshi. They both sat opposite each other on their knees, before they bowed to each other. Splinter then took out a paper crane he'd made, before giving it to Yoshi, who held it up slightly. Yoshi smiled before Splinter closed his eyes, returning to the lair.

"Master Splinter..." Leo said.

Splinter opened his eyes and saw Leo in the doorway.

"..dinner's ready. Um, you okay, Sensei?" Leo asked, seeing something off.

"Yes, my son. I am fine." Splinter assured. "Just visiting an old friend."

Soon, everyone was sat around the table, Elisa sitting between Casey and Gen, when Cath sat between Angel and Silver Sentry, while a seat lay empty between the Professor and Usagi.

Angel rested her head on her hand, as Silver Sentry yawned, while the Daimyo - sitting at one of the ends, Splinter sitting in the opposite - tapped a finger on the table. April blew on her spoon while Phil stared at her, and then she balanced it on her nose, before it fell off her nose and onto the table.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving." Casey said, before pulling a bowl towards him. "Let's chow down on the holiday goodies."

"No! This is a time for family and being together." Splinter said sternly. "We must wait for Michelangelo."

"Where is that bum?" Raph wondered, resting his head on his hand.

"I'm starting to get really annoyed with him being this late!" Elisa grumbled.


In the city, Mikey kept driving the truck through the city, as four Police Cars chased after him. He turned the truck left slightly, making Klunk duck down into his coat, making the truck skid and send snow right onto one of the cars front windows. It skidded to a halt while turning right, and then another crashed into it, followed by the third, and then the fourth.

Mikey closed his eyes while looking at them, as Klunk came back up his coat. He turned back to the road and drove down the street, as snow began to fall again from the sky.

A little later, Mikey drove the truck backwards into a junkyard, then turned it right, so he could see the entrance. He then saw four Police Cars go by, before turning to Klunk as he came out of his coat.

"Finally." he said, patting Klunk's head.


Later in the lair, April looked at her watch, as everyone was getting bored waiting for Mikey, Elisa and Cath still worried about him.

"Alright, we'll give Mikey another five minutes, but that's it." she said. "The food's getting cold."

"Agreed." Splinter said.

"He better get here soon, that bonehead." Raph said, turning to elevator.


Back in the city, Mikey jumped off a chimney and onto another, then somersaulted down onto a rooftop. He then jumped up onto a higher one, then he pounced along it, before he jumped off the building towards a smaller roof.

"Meow!" Klunk meowed frantically, ducking under his coat.

Mikey grabbed a clothes line with clothes on, then rolled 360 degrees on it, before he let go and dived towards the ground, landing on another roof. He then ran along it, then jumped and landed on the side of a wall, then kicked his feet against it and landed on a fire escape, grabbing the bars. He swung up and landed on the ladder, then skated down it, before he jumped off and landed near a manhole cover.

He then took it off, climbed into the sewer, and put the manhole cover back with his feet.


When he finally reached the lair, he came in through the main entrance while carrying Klunk.

"Merry Christmas everybody." he said, getting everyone's attention. "Meet my friend, Klunk."

He approached the table as Leo and Elisa both got up.

"Mikey, where have you been?" Leo asked.

"You're long overdue, bro." Elisa said, shaking her head.

"Our guests have been waiting." Splinter explained sternly. "It is very rude."

"I know, I'm sorry, but you're not gonna believe what happened." Mikey said.

"Mikey, we don't wanna hear some lame story." Raph said.

"Uh-uh-uh, Raph. Remember, this is suppose to be a season of giving." Mikey reminded him.

"Yeah, and I'm thinking about giving you a well seasoned smack upside the head." Raph retorted, holding his fist up.

"Guys, it's Christmas Eve. It's a time to remember those less fortunate than ourselves." Mikey explained.

April wrapped her arm around Phil.

"In fact, it's a time not to think of ourselves at all." Mikey went on. "And I have just the ticket."

"How?" Cath inquired, folding her arms confused.


Later, everyone was at the Brown's Street Children's Home, Splinter dressed up as Santa while sitting in a chair, while the Turtles were dressed up like Elves. Silver Sentry stood by the stairs holding a boy on each shoulder, while the Professor, Phil and Ernie stood on the stairs, and Casey near it, while Angel was on her knees near Splinter. The Daimyo stood wearing reindeer antlers, a red noise, a wreath with yellow burbles on, and a candy crane, while Usagi and Gen both wore Elf hats, while April and the driver stood near them.

Mikey handed a little girl a Lil' Orphan Alien doll as Klunk rested on his shoulder, and then the girl hugged him. Leo held a little boy in his arms, as Raph and Cath took a present out of a sack, and then gave them to a boy each. The girl pulled back from Mikey, as Donnie turned to April and Usagi, while Angel took a toy out of a sack, gave it to Splinter, who gave it to a little girl on his lap.

A little girl ran over to Silver Sentry, as Casey and the Homeless people stared at her. Silver Sentry put the boys down, then took a present from the girl.

Elisa and Usagi smiled as a boy ran past them towards the driver, who then picked him up. Silver Sentry then hugged the girl, as April approached Casey and kissed him on the cheek, as he was underneath Mistletoe.

"Huh?" he muttered, blushing as he touched the spot she kissed.

Elisa approached Mikey while handing a toy to a little boy with glasses on, who then hugged her leg, making her smile. She then approached Mikey and touched his shoulder.

"What you've done, makes up for being late, Mike." she whispered proudly.

"Thanks, sis." Mikey said.

"My children, I believe Michelangelo is right." Splinter said, as a girl sat on his right knee, and a boy on his left.

Leo - still holding the boy - Donnie and Cath, who held a little girl, all approached their father, as Raph was crouched near them, with a little boy beside him.

"This is definitely a time for thinking of others, a season of giving." Splinter said.

Mikey came over with the little girl he gave the Lil' Orphan Alien too, who stroked Klunk, when Elisa came over carrying the boy who hugged her leg.

"Happy Holidays everybody." Mikey said, looking up.

Gen turned to the driver and began to talk to him.
