In the middle of the night

"For the last time Nymph, it was just a scratch! I'm fine!"

"No, you're not!!"

"What do you mean I'm not?! I feel perfectly fine! I just scratched myself on something and I'm fine!"

Nymph started cleaning up the scratch on Remus's cheek, "Just stay still!"

"Alright, alright"

Nymph shook her head as she continued cleaning the wound, as Remus stared at her.

"What is it?"

"I hate seeing you act like this, that's all"

"Like what?"

"Like.."

"Like..?"

".. nothing"

"No, it's something, what is it-!"

"Like I'm helpless without you, there I said it" Nymph placed the alcohol directly on the wound.

"Ow! Okay, now I'm confused, what are you talking about?"

"Out there, you kept jumping in while I was fighting the ice dragons, same on the planet we were on yesterday."

"And..?"

"You act like I can't protect myself!"

"No I don't!"

"Yes, you do!"

"No, I don't!"

"For crying out loud, what is going on in here?!"

The two looked up as Shady was standing in their doorway, half asleep, holding her magic staff.

"Nothing!"

"Nothing sounds like something that can be worked out in the morning."

".. yes ma'am"

"Good, now good night."

The two slept on separate beds as Shady turned off the lights and closed the door.

In the morning

"I'm not being overprotective! That's you!"

"Overprotective?! I thought you were just upset that I, for some reason, think of you as a 'helpless little bird' when I don't!"

"Well it's both!!"

"Oh dios mio, what is going on?"

"Don't tell me, that the perfect couple is fighting!"

"It.. looks like they are"

"So that was them waking us up?"

"Looks like it!"

"Should we stop them?"

"I don't know but I can't look away"

"Oh, Don't get me started on your snoring! Sounds like a damn car alarm!!"

"You aren't much better! Ms pancake head-!"

"Alright, Alright!! Stop!!" Leah and Shady shouted, getting in between the two.

"What?!"

"You two have been at this for the last three hours!"

"God, even Raph and Haley barely fought this much!"

"And this has been going on since last night!"

Nymph crossed her arms, looking away from Remus as he looked away from her.

"Okay.. I just have to ask, how did this even start?"

"He/She started it!"

"That's not what we meant!" Leah sighed as she facepalmed.

"Normally we'd hear you two argue over who loves each other more! Not this sh**!"

"Make it stop!!"

"Ugh"

Fugitoid was pressing buttons when he looked up and saw a distress signal.

"What is it, Fugitoid?"

"We seem to be getting a distress signal from this ship"

"That ship? It looks abandoned"

"But the signal is strong"

"We'll, guess I know what we're doing, Mus stay back"

"What, why?"

"You seem a little emotionally unavailable, right now"

"Emotionally un... fine"

"Let's go everyone"

Everyone else got their suits on and entered the destroyed ship.

"Ooh, looks like it was destroyed from the inside out"

"Maybe they were attacked from the inside or something!"

"Ugh!" Lena floated sideways, "This is so boring, I wish something not boring will happen!"

As Lena was floating sideways, she saw something glowing and began floating closer to it.

"Huh?"

She got closer to the glowing object and realized it was a cube. Lena just picked it up and stared at it for a few moments until she felt a random hand grab her shoulder.

"Ah!!"

"Whoa, scared much?" Phillip snickered at her.

"What's that Lena?"

"It's mine Ms 'pancake head'!"

"Damn, okay! No one is trying to take it!"

"No one asked to get woken up in the middle of the night and yet, here we are!"

"Ugh! I don't wanna talk about what happened, alright!"

"Then stay out of my business!"

"Deal, geez!"

Lena was about to float away when an empty space suit floated towards them.

"What the?"

"Hello?"

Lena poked the suit and it immediately grabbed her arm, as it revealed to be a zombie astronaut.

"Dah!!"

"Space zombies!!"

"Let's get outta here!!"

Everyone began fighting their way out, until they made it to the ship.

"We're back! Look at what Lena found!"

"How did you find that?"

"It was just glowing at the end of the ship!" Lena showed it off to everyone only to have it taken away from Fugitoid.

"I'll be holding onto this for safe keeping! You don't know what your doing with it"

"But it's mine!"

"To reiterate! You don't know what you're doing with it! So I'll be holding onto it for safekeeping"

Lena stomped her feet like a toddler as Fugitoid walked down towards the power core of the ship.

"Oh come on! Mom and dad would let me have it!"

"No, they wouldn't!"

"Ugh!!"

10 minutes later

Fugitoid opened a safe, placing the cube inside not realizing that Lena was spying on him.

"There, it'll stay here"

Fugitoid walked away as Lena walked over to the safe, she opened it and saw the cube but also a faced down picture.

"What's that?"

Lena grabbed the picture and nearly lost her sh** when she realized it was a picture of Fugitoid, in a human looking form, holding hands with a young looking Coral.

"Whoa!!"

Everyone else heard Lena shout and immediately ran to the power core room.

"Lena, what's wrong?!"

"I'll tell you!!" Lena showed them the picture, "Turns out Fugitoid and Coral were more than just friends!"

"No way!"

Fugitoid froze as they all turned to him, "I-It was a long time ago!"

"Oh?"

"Y-Yes"

"Can you tell us?"

"Not right now! Lena put that cube back!"

"No way!"

"Lena O'Neil, you have no idea what that is capable of!"

"So what? I found it, it's mine!"

"Lena, just listen to him!"

"Nah!" Lena said then started trying to figure out how to open the strange space cube.

"Lena, stop!!"

"Lena, please! Just-!"

Lena finally got to open it and blue smoke started filling the room.

"Oh no"

"Ooh!" Preston started clapping excitedly.

"Great, here we go again"

"Aww, nothing happened!"

"Are you sure about that?"

Lena squealed as she was picked up by another alien, "Whoa!!"

"Hello my friend!! You freed me!"

"I did?"

"Yes! I was stuck in that stupid thing for years but you freed me! The name's Wyrm and I'm here to grant all of you 3 wishes! Well 2, since you used the first one!"

"What? I didn't wish for anything!"

"Yes you did! Watch!" Wyrm said then pulled up a screen and played back what happened on the ship.

"So you called the zombies on us!!" The team growled and shouted at Lena.

"It was an accident!! Geez!"

"Ah, don't blame the kid she gave y'all a run for your money!"

"So there has to be some catch to these wishes, right"

"No catch! Trust me!!"

The team huddled together, trying to figure out what they should spend their next 2 wishes on.

"Ooh, could we spend it on comic books!"

"You idiot, we could spend it on something useful!"

"Yeah, like trying to get home!"

"Or bringing peace around the galaxy!"

"You all have fun with making wishes, I'm going back upstairs"

"Wait" Remus stopped Shady from walking upstairs, "What would you spend it on!"

"I don't know, I don't want much"

"What about Donnie?" Remus asked which caused Shady to freeze.

"... I could but then what? I don't want much else"

Lena looked at the opened cube then at Preston, "What do you think little bro? Endless candy? More formula?"

"Mama, dada"

"Heh, that's a nice one but maybe something else?"

"Mama"

"No, how about a puppy or a kitty?"

"Nu"

"You drive a tough bargain, I wanna spend it on some weapons and get you an actual crib-!"

"Make them stop!!"

"Huh?" Preston and Lena tilted their heads in confusion then Wrym quickly appeared behind them.

"Seems like your little friends are fighting~ you could use a wish!"

"But, they all got good points.. And it wouldn't be right if I used it"

"Well-!"

"Lena, don't use it on something stupid!" Phillip said, "Ya know you don't always make the best decisions under pressure"

"I know! I know! But what would you wish for then!"

"I don't know, maybe I wish that you were smarter when it comes to-!"

"Phillip!!"

"Your wish is my command!"

"Wait, no-!"

Wyrm already began to grant Phillip's wish by making Lena smarter. Lena screamed until she suddenly got quiet, her skin turned bright blue and her eyes began glowing.

"Oh what have I done"

"Oh my, this feels... Extraordinary! I can see multiple equations and all the answers!"

"Oh god"

"Thank you, Phillip"

"No, do not thank me!"

"Sissy?"

"Hello little brother"

Preston whimpered as Phillip picked him up, "N-Nu"

"Hey, it's okay"

"Nu sissy!"

"Lena, take your brother!"

Lena tried to grab him but Preston started crying and reached out for Nymph.

"Oh, never mind! Nymph! Take him!"

Nymph held onto Preston, "Now we just wasted a wish!"

"Exactly! Maybe we think this last one through"

"No need to take it through! Just make it!"

"Yeah right"

"Sorry Wyrm, but if we wanna make one more wish we have to think it through."

"Not a chance!"

"It's not up to you."

"Sur-!"

They all felt the ship stop so they immediately ran back upstairs and looked around.

"What happened to the stars?"

Lena looked at the cube and leaned closer to it, suddenly everyone could see her eye.

"Dah!! Giant eyeball!!"

"It seems like we're trapped both inside and outside of the hypercube! Like a fifth dimensional prison!"

"I find being stuck in the hypercube quite an eye-opener!"

"Oh great, this definitely doesn't sound like coercion at all"

"Not helping, Remus"

"Then what do you want me to do then? Make a wish?"

"Then we really have to be smart about this"

"Wait a minute, let me show you what I found about our friend Wyrm, they're one of the three dimensional beings of chaos! They were put into fifth dimensional prisons millennia ago and scattered around the cosmos-!"

Wyrm flicked Fugitoid's head off, causing him to be temporarily offline.

"Fugitoid!!"

"Ah, the robot was annoying anyways!"

"Now what?"

"Ya make your final wish and I go scot free!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, we're not that dumb!" Sera stuck her tongue out at him.

"Not that dumb? Maybe this will help knock some sense into you fun suckers!!"

"What do you mean by that-!"

Wyrm grabbed all of the teenagers and started making them do a series of weird things, such as using them as human pin balls and a bowling ball.

"Okay, let me at him!!" Ray tried to claw him.

Wyrm dodged her attacks and stuck his tongue out at her. "Try again!"

Ray grinned evilly and shot a blast of fire at him, "Try dodging this brick!" she froze, "Wait... Why can't I say brick?! Brick! Brick!!"

"Simple! I twisted your words!"

"You mother father!!" Ray covered her mouth as Sera died of laughter.

"Come on! One more try!"

Ray growled, "You no good, lying, weird headed, dumbask, brick!"

"Ooh! Wash your mouth out with soap!!" Wyrm shouted and made Ray wash her mouth out with soap.

Ray growled and tried to get the soap out of her mouth, Remus tried to attack Wrym from behind but he spotted him.

"Hmm.. I'll make you dress like a little princess and put on makeup!"

"Oh please, only my friends and my girlfriend get to do that"

"Not if I do this!"

Remus looked down and he was in a pink poofy dress and really heavy make-up.

"Oh god!"

Sera continued dying of laughter, "Mussy is a pretty little princess!!"

"Glad someone's enjoying my torment"

Wyrm looked at Sera and grinned as he turned her hair into cotton candy which she immediately began eating.

"Sera!! That's your hair!"

"No it's not! It's cotton candy!"

"He turned your hair into cotton candy! Spit it out!!"

"No!"

Leah jumped onto Wyrm and managed to cut him on his arm and land on her feet.

"Oh, you wound me! Let me wound you!!"

"What are you-!"

Wyrm began creating knives and other sharp objects and began throwing them at Leah, while noticing Nymph and Phillip trying to sneak away. "You two are next!!"

"Oh no they're not!" Aubrey jumped in front of them and used her powers to distract Wyrm.

"Come on! One of you wish for som-!"

"I wish I had a giant laser weapon that could destroy you blockhead!!"

"PHILLIP!!" Everyone shouted at him as Wyrm made the final wish.

"What?!"

"You made the last wish!" Remus shouted, smacking him upside the head.

"Ouch! I wasn't supposed to?!"

"No!!"

Wyrm gave Phillip a giant laser and stood in front of him, "Go ahead, take your shot."

"Gladly!!"

"Oh no"

Phillip took aim at Wyrm, powered up the weapon and when he fired it, a flag came out instead of a laser.

"We told you."

"What's up with you!"

"Ya forgot to read the rules! Rule number 1: Ya can't make a wish to hurt Wyrm!"

"Hey, you never said a catch whatsoever, I thought it was fair"

"Well, now he's free to do whatever he wants!"

"Ugh"

"Lena! You're smart now! Got any ideas?!"

"Sorry, Tony. But any fighting against Wyrm will always end in him winning that is why, I've decided to join him"

"You what?!"

"It's simple, the smartest woman in the galaxy combined with the most powerful creature in the galaxy, we will be unstoppable, at least if he agrees to keep Preston out of harm's way."

"Don't worry! I won't hurt the little kid! He likes me!" Wyrm said, holding Preston until he started crying. "Uh"

"Lena, what about earth?! You're parents?! Us?!"

"Come on Lena, help me destroy them!!"

Lena looked at the team then began to slow walk towards them, with a mischievous grin on her face.

"If I'm gonna destroy them.. I need a wish"

"Hmm... Fine! You get one bonus wish!"

"Lena, please! Be careful about this!"

"I... Wish..." Lena grinned then turned towards Wyrm, "That we never found that stupid cube in the first place!!"

"W-what?!"

"Please, I may be the most intelligent person in the galaxy but I'm more loyal to my friends than to anyone else."

"N-no!! Y-your w-w-wish is.. m-my command!!"

Lena smirked as Wyrm snapped his fingers returning everything back to the exact moment they arrived on the ship.

"Maybe they were attacked from the inside or something!"

"Ugh!" Lena floated sideways, "This is so boring, I wish some-!"

"No! Don't wish for anything!" Shady shouted, "I don't know why but just please... Don't"

"I agree with my mother, Lena! Don't wish for anything" Aubrey pleaded.

"Okay Curly! Relax!"

"My sensors indicate that there is nothing alive on the ship but I was able to finally track down the Quarren's mothership" Fugitoid said over the communication links.

"Great! Let's go!"

Everyone began walking out of the ship, until Leah froze and looked back.

"Hmm, I had a weird sense of Deja Vu" Leah shrugged it off and quickly followed after them.

A few minutes later

"Mom!! Dad! Come here!!" Sera shouted, barging into the room Remus was in.

"Dah!! Sera!" Remus pulled away and he had lipstick marks all over his face and Nymph turned bright red.

"Oh, um.. when did you two make up? And how?"

Nymph cleaned herself up, "That doesn't matter! What's wrong?"

"We can't get Preston to stop crying! And it's driving us nuts!"

"Oh god, We're coming!!"

"Thank you!" Sera said then skipped away from them.

The two walked into the main lounge and spotted Lena trying to calm Preston down.

"Help me! I tried asking Aunt Shady and he still didn't calm down!"

"Okay, maybe he's hungry?"

"Watch," Lena said, grabbing the bottle filled with milk and tried to give it to him. The moment it got close to Preston's face, he smacked it away and kept crying.

"Whoa, okay! That doesn't seem like him"

"I know!! Help me!!"

Nymph held Preston, trying to Shush him,"Shh, what's wrong?"

"Mama! Mama!"

"What do you mean... Oh.." Nymph looked at Lena and they both knew what he wanted or who.

"Oh... little bro, mama's not here"

"Mama!!"

Fugitoid walked over to them, "I have something that may help"

"Really? What?"

"It's called a mental chamber, it can create whoever you're thinking off"

"Oh.. let's try that"

Lena carried Preston into the chamber and a hologram of April appeared.

"Hi kids"

"M-Mom...?"

"Yes Lena, hey, let me get Preston"

Lena passed him to April and he finally calmed down.

"Mama!"

"Hey honey" April smiled and she began rocking him.

".. he missed y.. we miss you"

"I miss you too, me and your dad both miss you" April smiled and rubbed her cheek, it almost felt real.

".. we can't wait to see you"

"Me too, Honey" April hugged both of them, "Me too"

"I can see you and Nymph made up"

"Shut up."

"Nah, but how did you two make up in the first place? Earlier, neither of you wanted to say anything to each other, unless it was some kind of insult"

"Um..." Nymph turned bright red as she rubbed the back of her neck.

"Come on you two!"

"Yeah, spit it out lovebirds!"

Remus sighed, "Aunt Shady locked the two of us in a room together and said we weren't gonna be let out until we made up-!"

Ray grinned, "Or in your case made out."

"Ignoring Ray, we.. eventually talked and made up-!"

"You mean made out!"

"Hush!"

Shady heard them and chuckled, that's when Fugitoid walked over to her.

"How did you know that would work?"

"This is how I got Raph and Haley to work out their arguments.. most of the time"

"Oh, I see" Fugitoid sat next to her, "Is it also how you and Aubrey-Rose's father made up after fights?"

"Sometimes"

Fugitoid nodded in amusement as Shady continued drinking some coffee.

"Now, about you and Coral" Shady looked at him.

".. I have nothing to say"

"Please"

"... I was a scavenger at the time, going from planet to planet, galaxy to galaxy when I ended up on HomeWorld, around that time Coral had no "owner" she was being passed from elite to elite"

"And..?"

"The two of us ran into each other, I thought she was going to turn me into the Diamonds for stealing but for some reason... She didn't, I think she was interested in me at the time I wasn't a cyborg, I had a normal body and a normal face"

"Then what?"

"We then spent hours, talking about each other, she would ask me about the planets I've been on and what other beings were out there"

"Aww"

"One day she asked me what a kiss was... I had grown feelings for her and I showed her, at that very night we grew more involved"

"Ooh~!!"

"Oh hush" Fugitoid beeped then looked at the ground, "Then... She was assigned a permanent owner... I didn't see her after that but she would send me messages every once in a dying star"

"Wow"

"She would tell me about Novo, then the family she made, and then... The messages stopped until I got the message about them" Fugitoid looked at the teenagers, "They needed me, she needed me to save them if they failed"

"Oh.."

"And now we are here, I haven't seen her in light-years, who knows how much different she's become"

"I think you'd be surprised"

"Oh?"

"Mmm hmm"

"Hey mama?"

"Yes Aubrey?"

"Quick question, what was that nickname you gave Mus!"

"Which one?"

"Your personal favorite"

"Ah, pajarito torpe"

"Ooh, okay!"

"What does that even mean?"

"It means Clumsy little birdie, because when I first met Remus he fell in front of me"

"Oh"

"I had more nicknames for everyone"

"Really? Like what?"

"Well, For Raph, it was Bastardo de cabeza caliente, For Leo, it was Señor perfecto, and for Mikey, it was sol idiota"

"And.. What about the teens?"

"Serafina is una bola de sol, Leah is problemas paternales, and Ray is Bastarda de cabeza caliente"

"Oh"

"You all just remind me so much of them, so the nicknames are similar"

"Aww!"

"Oh, how about I tell you all the story about how I paralyzed Raph during training?"

"Yes!!"

The teenagers sat in front of her, like toddlers in a kindergarten class.

"Okay, okay! This all happened one day when I decided to come over to the lair"

Flashback

Shady walked into the dojo and stood next to Splinter as the turtles sparred against each other.

"Come on Donnie, I thought you were trying to impress people!"

Donnie turned bright red as he looked at Shady then back at Raph, "Oh shut up! You're just.... Holding back because Haley isn't here"

"Holding back?! Wanna see me not hold back!"

"W-Wait-!" Donnie screamed as Raph tackled him into the ground, before he could get a mark on him, Shady separated the two with her palismen.

"What the hell?!"

"That 's enough, Bastardo de cabeza caliente." Shady stood up straight with a moodless face, "You showed off your feathers enough"

"What did she call me?!"

"I believe.. hotheaded bastard"

"What? It fits him"

"It does, actually"

"Emo witch. I'm not a bastardes do cock a doodle f**king whatever you said!"

"Okay, first of all it's pronounced: Bastardo de cabeza caliente. If you're going to mock me, do it properly."

"Fine."

Shady turned around and was about to walk away when she dodged a punch that Raph tried to make.

"Then pin me down and I'll stop messing with you!"

"Are you... Challenging me." Shady's eyes started glowing and Donnie quickly got behind her.

"Yes, I am! What about it!"

"Raph, please! This isn't a good idea!!"

Shady started laughing and began smiling, "Fine, if it's a challenge you want... Then a challenge you shall get."

"Perfect!"

Donnie stood on the sidelines, nervously as Shady and Raph stood in front of each other.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"The potential murder of our brother..."

"Ooh, I'll get popcorn!"

"No, Mikey, that's n.."

Shady pressure pointed Raph on the neck and body slammed him onto the ground.

"Ow!!"

"Don't ever challenge me... Again."

"Deal! Deal! Ow!!"

Flashback ends

Ray started dying of laughter, "Oh god!! That was perfect!!"

"Hey, that's what he gets for trying to challenge me"

"Oh my, you are so powerful!" Aubrey smiled, admiring her.

"Now I wonder.."

"Wonder what?"

"If there's a possibility that same situation could happen with Aubrey and Ray"

Aubrey immediately shook her head no, "No!!"

"Ha, Aubrey would rather die!"

The group began laughing as Shady smiled at them, she felt at home.
