"This is the story of how I died."

On a tree was a wanted 'Dead or Alive' poster of a smug (H/C) haired girl; under the name of [FAKE NAME]

"Don't worry, this is actually a very fun story. And the truth is, it isn't even mine. This is the story of a boy, named Michelangelo. And it starts, with the sun."

"Now, once upon a time, a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens. And from this small drop of sun, grew a magic, golden, flower. It had the ability to heal the sick, and injured."

A beautiful bright, gold flower emerges and blooms from the ground, and a woman stood a few feet away from it, wearing a black cloak.

"Oh, you see that old lady, over there? You might want to remember her. She's kind of important."

"Well, centuries passed and a hop skip and a boat ride away there grew a kingdom. The kingdom was ruled by a beloved King and his friend, Baron Draxum. And the
King, well he wanted one more baby (other than Raph, Leo and Donnie.), but in process of the mutation, the baby got sick, really, sick. He was running out of time. And that's when people usually start to look for a miracle. Or in this case, a magic gold flower."

The old lady enters the scene, removing a fake bush that hid the flower. She looked around, making sure no one was around. She gently caressed the flower's petals, smirking down on it.

"Ah! I told you she'd be important."

"You see instead of sharing the Sun's gift, this woman, Big Mama, hoarded its healing power and used it to keep herself young for hundreds of years. And all she had to do was sing a special song."

"♪Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine. Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine, what once was mine.♪"

As soon as she finished the song, all her wrinkles disappeared and she was young once again.

"All right, you get the gist. She sings, she turns young. Creepy, right?"

Big Mama's eyes widened as her heard voices coming closer. She quickly hid the flower under the fake bush, before running away. But her cloak has knocked down the bush, displaying the flower. One of the royal guards looked down, using his lantern, when he found the flower.

"We found it!" The guard announced as the others picked the flower up with its roots, making sure to be careful. Big Mama narrowed her eyes at this.

"The magic of the golden flower, healed the baby and also helped with the mutation. A healthy baby turtle boy, a prince was born. With beautiful golden hair."

A baby mutant turtle lied in his small bed, smiling up at both his father and his father's assistant, them being Splinter and Baron Draxum. his older turtle brothers looked over at him, all of them smiling at their new baby brother. (Although Leo was a bit jealous his baby brother had hair and he didn't.)

"I'll give you a hint. That's Michelangelo."

"To celebrate his birth, the King and his friend launched a flying lantern into the sky. For that one moment, everything was perfect. And then that moment ended."

At night, Big Mama successfully made it into the building, now looking down the sleeping turtle baby with a grin. She was old once again. She lifted a strand of the turtle's blonde hair, drawing a pair of scissors from her cloak. The turtle's hair glowed brightly as Big Mama began to sing and slowly become young.

"♪Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine. Make the clock re—♪"

Big Mama's eyes widen in shock when the strand of hair she cut turned brown, her body growing old once more.

Both Splinter and Draxum woke up at the sound of the baby crying. They sit up to see Big Mama holding their child, and run away.

"Big Mama broke into the castle and stole the child. Just like that...gone. The Kingdom searched and searched, but they could not find the Prince. For deep within the forest, in a hidden tower, Big Mama raised the child as his own."

"—Save what was lost, bring back what once was mine, what once was mine.♪" Michelangelo sang as Big Mama brushed Michelangelo's long, glowing blonde hair, her appearance turning young once again.

"Big Mama had found her new magic flower. But this time she was determined to keep it hidden."

"Why can't I go outside?" Michelangelo asked quietly.

"The outside world is a dangerous place. Filled with horrible, selfish people. You must stay here, where you're safe. Do you understand, flower?" Big Mama explains and questioned, continuing to brush the boy's hair.

"Yes, Mommy." Michelangelo answered, lowering his head slightly.

"But the walls of that tower could not hide everything."

Michelangelo snuck past Big Mama's bedroom at night, tiptoeing quietly. His hair dragged across the floor as he made it to the main room.

"Each year on his birthday, the King and Draxum released thousands of lanterns into the sky in hope that one day, their lost Prince would return."

The gates of the window of the tower were gently opened but the young box turtle, resting his small hands on his arms as he looked at the flying lights on the night sky. He sighed quietly, smiling to himself.
