1:00a.m.

Its been a rough day for Mickie. Sigma's return has been haunting her all day. Now its late and her emotions are running wild. Mickie stands in the kitchen. A few lights are on. She's dressed in her night clothes and she walks around the kitchen. Her arms crossed over her chest and she looks very worried and scared. She stands near the kitchen table. She reaches her hand out and she places it on the chair. Some happy times with her family comes to mind. She can't help but smile but then that sweet smile quickly fades as she becomes haunted again by Sigma's return. All she can think about is protecting her family. Mickie runs her fingers through her long brown hair. She looks confused and scared. Almost as if she doesn't know what to do. One question hits her hard and heavy. How can she lead her team to victory if she can't even fight? Mickie crosses her arms over her chest and she begins walking around the kitchen again. This time even walking over into the living room. She stands next to the sofa and she once again runs her fingers through her long brown hair. Seth walks into the room and he looks at her.

Seth: There you are.

Mickie is startled as she looks at him.

Seth: Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you. What are you doing down here? Its late.

Mickie: I know. I'm just checking the doors and stuff. Making sure they are locked.

Seth: Your being bothered by something. What is it?

Mickie looks away for a moment then she looks back at Seth with an I don't wanna talk about it look. Seth walks to Mickie.

Seth: Come on Mickie. What's wrong? You haven't said much since those android's attacked the city.

Mickie still doesn't talk but she gets emotional.

Seth: Mickie please talk to me. I'm your husband. You can talk to me about anything and I promise I'll do my best to help you through it.

Mickie looks at Seth. She gets more emotional.

Seth: What are you so scared of?

Mickie begins crying as she can't hold it back anymore. Seth takes Mickie and he hugs her and she embraces him.

Seth: Its okay. Let it out.

Mickie: Its that android. Sigma. He's back.

Seth: Why are you so afraid of him?

Mickie: Because...He's the one who took Sebastian away from me. And if given the chance he'll do the same to you.

Seth: Mickie we can take him. Don't worry so much.

Mickie looks at Seth and she holds him tight.

Mickie: No! No...Seth you can't fight...I can't fight.

Seth: What?

Mickie: I have to protect you. I have to stay with you all the time. We can't stay here. We have to go somewhere. Where Sigma won't find us.

Seth: But Mickie we're Saiyan's. Saiyan's never run from a fight.

Mickie angers as she steps back from Seth and she looks at him.

Mickie: That may be true. But I can't let my Saiyan pride get in the way. I have no shame in tucking my tail and running. My family is more important to me that trying to prove something in some silly battle. I'm not going to put you in danger. And if I have to tuck my tail and run in order to protect you...then I will. Please understand.

Seth: But if we don't fight who will?

Mickie: The others will. They will be fine. Trevor, Katie, Victoria, Rebecca and Brooke. They can take care of Sigma and his army.

Seth: But Mickie.

Mickie puts her hand on Seth's cheek.

Mickie: Seth please. I need you to understand and let me handle this. I can't lose you. The only way I can protect you is to stay with you. I love you. I'm happy again. For the first time in along time. I'm really really happy. I can't allow everything I've worked so hard for to be taken away from me. Please Seth. Just do as I say. I'm trying to protect you.

Seth: Okay...Okay. I will Mickie.

Mickie smiles.

Mickie: Thank you. Now please. Go get some rest. I need to figure out what to do next. And the best way I can protect you.

Seth: Okay.

Mickie smiles and she leans in and she kisses him on the cheek.

Mickie: This will work out. Trust me.

Seth: I do trust you Mickie. There's no one I trust more.

Mickie just smiles. Seth leaves the room and he returns upstairs. Mickie sits on the sofa. For the first time since Rebecca ran away. Mickie feels like her world is crashing down on her. She lays back on the sofa. Her mind filled with unanswered questions. What is she gonna do? She needs an answer and she needs an answer now. Mickie just lays there on the sofa.

8:30a.m.

Everything has been peaceful for the turtles. They have continued to fight crime in the city after the war with The Krang. Thanks to them and the Saiyan's. Cincinnati has become one of the safest cities. Mikey is in the kitchen cooking pizza for breakfast. He cooks one for each of his brothers as well as himself. Master Splinter and Karai eat their own thing. Mikey places the pizza's on the table.

Mikey: Alright dudes! Come and get it!

Leo, Raph and Donnie run into the kitchen and they grab a chair and they dig in. Splinter can only smile as he watches.

Karai: You know. Its been nearly two years since I moved in and I still can't get used to this. You guys are total hogs.

Splinter laughs.

Raph: Hey. We don't tell you how to eat.

They all keep eating. Suddenly Mickie walks into their home. She looks around.

Mickie: Hm. They should be here...Hello?

The turtles look at each other.

Donnie: What's that?

Mickie: Hello? Anybody here? Leo? Donnie? Master Splinter?

Raph looks in the living room.

Raph: Hey! Its Mickie!

The turtles run to Mickie and they slap her high 5's. Splinter and Karai walk into the room as well.

Raph: So good to see you Mickie. How have you been doing?

Mickie: I've been good. I just got married again and everything is great. I couldn't be more happy.

Turtles: Alright. Yeah.

Raph: How's Rebecca? I haven't seen her in so long.

Mickie: Rebecca is doing great. She's so mature now. She's grown up so much. And I have you guys to thank for that.

Leo: Aw it wasn't us. It was Master Splinter.

Mickie: Well. I thank all of you. You are such great friends.

Raph: Well tell her to stop by sometime. I'd love to see her again.

Leo: Or maybe we could pay a visit to Mickie's house.

Raph: Yeah. Could we Master Splinter?

Splinter: That is up to our young friend here.

The turtles look at Mickie. Mickie smiles.

Mickie: Yeah. That would be great.

Turtles: Alright! Yeah!

Mickie: But now's not the best time. I'm kinda in trouble and I need your help.

Leo: What's going on?

Mickie: Okay. Long story short. There's this android. Sigma. He took my first husband away from me. Killed him in cold blood. I was forced to watch. No way to protect him. No way to save him. Things got hard on me after that. It took years before I finally forgave myself.

Splinter: That would be hard on anyone. You've been through alot young one. I'm pleased that you have found happiness.

Mickie: Thank you Master Splinter. But the problem is...Sigma is back. When those android's attacked the city. I saw him walking the streets. I became scared. I did something that most Saiyan's would laugh at me and make fun of me for. I tucked my tail and I ran. I took Seth and I ran as far away as I could get. I was up deep into the night. Trying to figure out what to do. How I can protect Seth. I'm not gonna let Sigma take him from me. I can't go through that again.

Raph: Well you can always count on us Mickie.

Leo: Yeah. We'll be more than glad to help.

Mickie: Thanks guys.

Mikey: Hey if you need some place to hang out and chill where this Sigma dude won't find you. You can bring Seth down here and you guys can hang out here.

Mickie: We're right in the middle of the danger zone here. Sigma would find us for sure. We need to go some place where he won't find us. For the first time I'm not gonna be able to lead my team. Their gonna have to win this without me.

Raph: Hey. Don't worry so much. Everything's gonna be fine.

Mickie: Thanks Raph.

Mickie looks over at Donnie.

Mickie: Donnie. Can I have a word with you?

Donnie: Sure thing.

Mickie and Donnie walk into his lab. Donnie closes the door.

Donnie: So what's up?

Mickie: Sigma has a computer. All of his info is stored on there. Everything that he's got planned. Everything he's doing. Do you think you could hack into that network?

Donnie: Oh sure thing.

Donnie sits at his lap top.

Mickie: Wait a minute. If you were to hack into it. Would Sigma be able to find us?

Donnie: Um...Well...Chances are he could but he might not.

Mickie: No no no. We can't take that chance.

Donnie: Hey. You know something. There's this strange building in town. We've been keeping an eye on it for the last few days. We've seen alot of androids around there. Do you think they could be connected to Sigma?

Mickie: No doubt.

Donnie: Well...I'm sure he's got computers inside. They all must be connected to his network. So if we were to go to this building. Break in and I hack into the computer from there. Then there's no chance Sigma could find us.

Mickie smiles.

Mickie: Good good...Would you guys really do that for me?

Donnie: Of course.

Mickie: Oh thank you so much Donnie. If you wasn't a turtle I'd kiss you.

Donnie: Ummm. Thanks I guess...What's a kiss?

Mickie looks confused.

Mickie: Are you serious? You don't know what a kiss is?

Donnie: No.

Mickie: Its a way to show love. Kinda like a hug only alittle more personal.

Donnie: Oh...Cool.

Mickie: How soon can you guys do this?

Donnie: Tonight.

Mickie: Great. Great.

Mickie and Donnie return to the living room.

Mickie: Alright. That's taken care of.

Donnie: Guys. We got a job to pull tonight for Mickie.

Raph: What's that?

Donnie: That building with the androids. We're breaking in tonight.

Raph: Yeah.

Splinter: Be careful my sons.

Leo: We will Master Splinter.

Mickie: Thank you all so much. This means so much to me. If you all wasn't turtles I'd give you all a kiss.

The turtles look confused.

Raph: Huh?

Donnie: Its a way to show love. Like a hug.

Turtles: Ohhh.

Splinter smiles and he laughs.

Mickie: I gotta go talk to the others. I know just where to take Seth.

Donnie: Where are you going?

Mickie: There's a cabin in the woods. Its way out by a lake. Sigma would have a hard time finding us there. I have to stay with Seth at all times. I have to protect him. Will you guys also do something else for me?

Leo: Sure thing.

Mickie: Will you help the others fight?

The turtles look at each other then at Mickie and they smile.

Leo: Sure thing Mickie.

Raph: You can count on us.

Mickie: Great...Thanks. See you guys later.

Turtles: Bye Mickie.

Mickie leaves the turtles home.

9:00p.m.

The Saiyan's had a great dinner. Mickie made her buffalo chicken. Katie and Victoria are cleaning up the kitchen while Mickie takes a shower. She's changed into her night clothes. She steps out into the hallway. Seth is walking by.

Seth: Hi Mickie.

Mickie: Hi sweetie.

Seth: So did you get everything figured out?

Mickie: I did. I know just what to do.

Seth: Great. You look better.

Mickie: Yeah. I'll talk to you about it later. Right now I need to talk to Rebecca.

Seth: Okay. Take it easy Mickie. Everything's gonna be okay. I promise your not gonna lose me.

Mickie: I know.

Mickie gives him a hug and a kiss. Seth goes downstairs. Mickie walks down the hall to Rebecca and Brooke's room. She knocks on the door.

Rebecca: Come on in. Door's open.

Mickie opens the door and she walks in. She closes the door back. Rebecca is still dressed in her summer clothes. She sits back in a chair and she has her feet propped up in another chair. She looks at Mickie.

Rebecca: Hi Mickie. That buffalo chicken was great. Your an amazing cook.

Mickie: Thank you sweetie.

Rebecca: So what do you need me for?

Mickie: Umm...You know about Sigma's return.

Rebecca: Yeah. That sucks so bad.

Mickie: I can't fight him. I'm sure you think I'm a coward. A Saiyan never runs from a fight. But I can't fight him. I have to protect Seth. I can't go through that again.

Rebecca looks troubled but she reaches her hand out and she takes Mickie's hand.

Rebecca: I understand.

Mickie: You do?

Rebecca: Yeah. I don't think your a coward. I'm here for you Mickie. Whatever you need me to do. If you want me to fight. I'm ready.

Mickie smiles. Rebecca let's go of her hand.

Mickie: Great...because I've got something special for you.

Rebecca: What is it?

Mickie: Since I'm not fighting and I'm staying with Seth to protect him. The team needs a leader while I'm away.

Rebecca looks confused.

Rebecca: Yeah. I didn't even think of that. What are we gonna do about a leader?

Mickie: Well. I've been doing alot of thinking...and the best choice I could make...would be to make you the new leader.

Rebecca looks shocked.

Mickie: I want you to be the leader while I'm away...Will you do it Rebecca?

Rebecca: Oh my goodness...Of course...yes. I'll do it.

Mickie: Great. That's awesome. I know you can do this Rebecca. As of this moment. The team belongs to you. Your calling the shots.

Rebecca: Okay. I won't let you down Mickie. I promise.

Mickie: I know you won't. That's why I made you leader.

Mickie smiles that sweet smile of hers and she gives Rebecca a warm hug and a sweet kiss on the cheek. Mickie starts to leave the room.

Rebecca: Mickie.

Mickie stops and she looks at Rebecca.

Rebecca: Don't worry...We'll win this war. And we'll make sure there's nothing left of Sigma or his army.

Mickie smiles.

Mickie: Thank you.

Mickie leaves the room. Rebecca stands up and she looks troubled. She looks like about 20,000 pounds has been placed on her shoulders.

Rebecca: Oh man...Mickie just made me the leader of the team. I really don't know if I'm up for it...But I've got to do my best. For Mickie. I can't let her down.

Rebecca runs her fingers through her long red hair then she crosses her arms over her chest.
