Tomoka and Manako were doing their part of designing Seabreeze in accessory clothing as they ramage over a box of jewelry. On the other side, Mikey and Donnie are playing the racing game and nearby, Mimi was practicing her sword skills.

Tomoka was almost finishing the touches on Seabreeze's pigtails. Just then Splinter arrived.

"Excellent driving skills. Is it just me or are both of you taller than the last time I saw you?" the rat wondered.

"You mean like three minutes ago?" Mikey guessed, still not turning his head.

"And so handsome, too," said Splinter. "When was the last time we did something together?"

"Let's see. Two hundred and seventy eight days ago. You said "Hi Purple" to Raph," Donnie stated.

"And one time," Tomoka stated, "There are a few commercials translated into Japanese."

Splinter nodded his head. "Exactly! So what say we spend some quality time together now?"

Rin popped from the side of the corner. "Spend some time together?"

"Yes, of course."

"You know," Manako said at first and stood up. "I had never been out of a relationship with a father before. Of course, we don't have a mom but at least we can do something together."

Mikey got excited. "Yes, please," he squeaked, raising his arms and wagging his tail. "Where do I sign? Just let me know. Just give me the pack and I'll-"

Donnie covered MIkey's mouth, stopping his voice. He then turned him away from Splinter. "Play it cool. He might be possessed," he whispered, eyeing his father suspiciously

"You're right. I always fall for this," Mikey peeped.

"We might be able to squeeze you in."

"So much for falling for that old trick," Manako agreed.

"Yeah," Tomoka nodded. "And he really did steal the turtle tank a year ago."

"How would you boys enter your tank in a father children car compilation?" Splinter suggested.

"A car compilation?" Tomoka asked, tipping her head.

"You want to enter my design in a father-children competition?" Donnie gasped, his eyes wide with joy. He almost felt like he was gonna cry in joy but the excitement started to get to him. "OHMIGOSH, DREAMS DO COME TRUE!"

The softshell cheered and spun Tomoka into the air and put her down. Tomoka giggled at Donnie's goofiness. Mikey seemed confused for a moment and he wasn't sure he was going to trust Splinter and his little turtle instincts were telling him that he was hiding something.

"I thought we were playing it cool," Mikey chirped.

"We do. But that's only the case," Mimi squeaked. She threw her sword back on the desk.

"Count me in, too!" Rin exclaimed and she began to follow after him. "We shall be your daughters in law just in case."



Donnie leads Mimi, Rin and Splinter to the Turtle Tank in the garage. Donnie is carrying Splinter on his back as Manako and Mikey trailed behind. "Well, here she is," the soft turtle sighed.

"That's incredible," Rin gasped. She walked around the Tank, admiring its details and its wheels. "How did you get this?"

"We found it at the junkyard and I upgraded it to make it better."

"One time, when Don Don showed us the Turtle Tank, it turns out Splinter stole it," Tomoka said. "Sure he does learn his lesson."

Splinter studied the tire and looked, poking it with his stick. Mimi on the other hand jumped on the tank. "So like, how much damage can this thing take?"
