Forever and Always

Prologue

Emily:
My name is Emily O'Neil, I was born into a world, that you might find hard to understand. When I was a little girl, I had the perfect family, a mother who would bake cookies with me and read me stories when it was time to go to bed, a father who would give me piggyback rides whenever I am down in the dumps, watch movies with me after school, and play in the backyard with me. My cousin April, she brought me to her dad's workplace one day, and it was their I met them. A gray rat and four baby turtles, who was later named by myself, I even put stickers on the turtles to help me keep track who's who.

Leonardo was blue, Raphael was red, Donatello was purple, and Michelangelo is orange. I did not have to get a sticker for Splinter, since he is the only rat there. Everyday, I would go over to the lab with April after school to see the boys. But I would spend most of the time with Splinter, he was a good companion to have, he would be on my shoulder while I walk around the lab and he would steal my cheese while I wasn't looking, it was a good life.

When my parents died from a car accident, I was sad for weeks, but I had April, Uncle Kirby, Splinter and the Turtles. Eventually, I had overcome my sadness and was back to the usual Emily I was. To cherish out time together, April took a picture of me and my little friends.

But one night, everything changed, there was a fire in the lab, me and April had found my uncle dead. I ran to save Splinter and Turtles from the deadly flames while April called the fire department and ran outside to wait.

After I managed to save them, I ran outside and to a drain that led to the sewers. I had to let the guys go, no matter how heart broken I was. After I gave each of them a kiss on the head, I sent them on their way, and walked away. Splinter watched as I walked away while crying as he shed a tear of his own out of his little eye, and left with the Turtles.

Every night, I would think of my little friends and hope that one day I would see them again.

Little did I know that I would get my wish...
