This is it!! The last chapter of The Ripple effect and the commencement of the Alley Monsters Series. Thank you all for all the kind words and support!! Please let me know what you think
She remembered very clearly the day Michelangelo died, that final rescue at journeys end. His brother had seen no other choice, there was too much done to him to be undone. Perhaps Raphael had seen it as his last act of redemption she knew without being told that he had then and always would feel responsible for what Mikey had become.
They had left that same night from that same spot, the remaining two brother and April. She wished she had been sad to see them leave, they deserved to be missed, but she hadn’t been sad she had just been relieved.
That night she felt at peace for the first time since a blue light had sent her whirling through time and space.
And time as it tends to do, moved forward. Days turned to weeks and the snow began to fall washing New York in blanketed white, the city was almost pretty when you couldn’t see the garbage.
Time had passed so quickly that Christmas Eve had crept up on her before she’d even realized it. She sat alone in the lair reflecting on the past year and all the changes it had made.
She had wanted just a short time ago to be a ninja, just a few month ago but it felt like a life time. She had wanted to be a hero she had wanted to fight the good fight but she knew now that fighting was not for her. Fighting ended in blood and death and tormented loved ones.
She now left the fighting to her loved one, her Mikey still with both arms and grip on reality as firm as it ever was, not that that was saying much. She knew the day Michelangelo died that she would never fight again and for a while it had left her feeling empty, like she could reach out and touch the void where her dream had been.
And then one day as the trees began to turn a vision came along to fill that space. She saw a man being mugged and knew beyond reasoning that it hadn’t happened yet, she smiled to herself as she remembered running to Mikey and begging him to go check it out.
He did, she waited nervously her energy barely contained for him to come back. When he did it was with a bruise and the news that when he had gotten to the place she had named there indeed was a man being mugged exactly how she had described it. From that day on she didn’t have a dream, she had a purpose.
And that purpose is what had lead to her sitting alone on Christmas Eve. Master Splinter had already turned in when the vision came, a robbery. Grumbling and complaining his brothers had dragged Mikey out of the lair with them promising him that they would be back in no time.
She sipped her coco and looked at her watch again it was nearly midnight and she was exhausted. She wanted nothing more than to curl up in bed and go to sleep but she had promised Mikey she would wait up for him.
Finally shortly after one am they returned cold and slightly bruised but victorious. Mikey was still grumbling about Julies inter-dimensional radio dial as he trudged into the living room.
“Come on babe” He said pulling her off the couch “ Turtle Santa’s got an early present for you”
She laughed and followed as he lead her off down the hall with his brothers cat calls echoing in her ears.
“Shut up” He yelled back over his shoulder “ Its not that you pervs”
Julie chuckled as she flopped down on the bed “Darn you got my hopes up and everything” She grinned.
He smirked at her and pulled out a Santa hat and piece of paper “ Well according to my list you’re a very, very naughty girl so perhaps something can be arranged” He said wagging his eye ridge at her suggestively. “ But first PRESENTS!”
Julie laughed and reached under the bed and pulled out one of Mikey’s presents “ Here you can go first” She said tossing him the package.
“ Your kidding me” He whined as he began to tear the paper “ I’ve been tearing the lair apart for weeks and the whole time they were under the bed”
Julie just smirked, it was funnier if he didn’t know that she had been hiding them Aprils for just that reason and that in fact this was the presents first night in the lair.
Mikey finally finished tearing open his present, he took one look at the PSP and game inside and proceeded to do a victory lap around the lair waving the game above his head and screaming until finally Raph caught him.
After a minor beating and several threats Raph finally let him go. Mikey returned to the room and fished a small square box out of his closet and tossed it Julie.
“Here ya go babe” He said before burying his face in the PSP manual. Julie picked up the package and shook it, something made a small rattle.
She tore the paper off and opened the box and there in the small velvet lined container sat the most beautiful ring she had ever seen. Her jaw dropped, after the whole thing with his future self Mikey hadn’t mentioned another word about getting married. She had just assumed the harsh reality had snapped him out of his rose colored glasses phase.
She looked over at him to find him starring at the manual with great interest, but try as he might to ignore her a small smile began to creep across his face.
“Mikey” She questioned.
“Yeeeeesss” He said not looking up from his game.
“Damn it” She exclaimed grinning inwardly.
“What, what???” He asked almost dropping his game in an attempt to straighten up.
“That’s what I was gonna say”
