"ASHLYN!"

I heard Mikey scream on the top of his lungs. I quickly wiped my hands in my apron and rushed to his room.

I found him stuck half beneath his bed.

"How on Earth did you get stuck like that?" I chuckled.

"Ashlyn! I have to tinkle! I CAN'T HOLD IT!" He whined and started wiggling.

"Well, hold on!" I rushed to him and pulled him out by his waist.

Then he ran to the restroom with lightning speed. I laughed and walked back to do the dishes.

Ashlyn was Master Spinter's friend's daughter, who knew about the mutation.

Master Spilnter mostly used to meditate, and it was difficult for him to do EVERYTHING at once, so Ashlyn used to help him out.

After Mikey was done, he ran to Ashlyn in the kitchen, doing the dishes.

"Big sister?" He said.

"Yeah, Mikey?"

"Will you read me a story?"

"I can't. I'm sorry, Mikey, I gotta complete with the dishes, and then I gotta clean the lair, then I gotta meditate and train with Master Splinter, then I gotta complete my homework, then I gotta go out for pa-...Mikey?"

Sniff, sniff

She saw his eyes fill up with tears.

"No, don't cry! Okay, I'll read you a story!"

He sniffed. "Okay..."

She sighed and walked to Mikey. "Which one?"

"THIS!" He showed her a book.

"Isn't this Raph's?"

"Er...maybe?"

She chuckled. "It's okay." His face lit up. "Now, once apon a time..."

Mikey listened to her attantively.

"...And they got married, and lived happily ever after."

Mikey was curled up in Ashlyn's lap, sucking his thumb. Ashlyn was sitting on the couch.

She smiled and placed him on the couch ahd got up, stretching herself. "Aw, man. I gotta clean the dishes now..."
