Then, a flashback appears with Hamato Yoshi, Tang Shen and Baby Miwa facing Oroku Saki in a battle. Hamato Yoshi said, "My love for you and Miwa burns inside my heart brighter than all the stars in the universe." And Oroku Saki said, "Pathetic. I will not abide by this dishonor." And then Tang Shen said, "Saki." And Oroku Saki said, "Shen, I ask you one last time. Make the right choice." And then Tang Shen said, "I have already made it.-" And Hamato Yoshi said, "Take Miwa and go, Shen. -" After that, a flashback disappears as usual, Raphael was still bored in his bedroom and a tear rolled over his cheek. Raphael said sadly, "I can't believe I know that Tang Shen is gonna die in a flashback, a lot. Not like anybody here is going to be sad at her whether they liked it or not!" Just then, Raphael hears a "squeak squeak" sound, looking in the side of his bedroom was a small grey mouse with white markings. And Raphael said calmly, "Hi, Squeak! Nice to meet you, I'm Raph!" Squeak squeaked happily and ran up to Raphael's bed. And Raphael said, "Hey, Squeak, Are you okay?" Squeak squeaked happily at Raphael smiling. And then Raphael said happily, "You do want to find something that can make Leo and Karai so silly! Don't you, Squeak?" And Squeak squeaked happily at Raphael being happy. And Raphael said, "Okay, I'll get up and find something that can make Leo and Karai so silly!" So, Raphael got up, looked over his bedroom to find something that can make Leonardo and Karai so silly, and found a big red ball in his closet, Raphael said, "Ah, This should do the trick!" Meanwhile, in the Lair, there sitting on the throne was Shredder, the worst enemy of Leonardo, Raphael, and Karai, Shredder said, "What is it? Raph is going to be completely potty trained, a lot? That was an interesting idea!" Meanwhile, back inside the turtles' lair, Leonardo was still talking to Karai about Raphael starting potty training. Karai said, "So, have you still been talking to your best friend about starting potty training, Leo?" And Leonardo said, "Okay, I really need to tell you the good news, my friend, Raph is starting potty training by peeing in the toilet in the bathroom and he needs some toilet paper to wipe and clean himself!" And Karai chuckled and she said, "That was a very sweet interesting idea, Leo. And that's because you like talking to your best friend a lot, Leo!" And then Leonardo chuckled and he said, "Thanks, Karai!, I shouldn't have mentioned Raph for a long time, a lot!" And all of a sudden, Raphael comes out of the bedroom, balancing on a big red ball, Raphael said, "Hey, look at me, I'm a silly dilly clown, my friends!" And Leonardo said, "Hey, Raph, what is that you're doing?" And then Raphael said, "You better believe this, Leo! I'm a silly dilly clown and I'm balancing on that big red ball for goodness sakes!" Karai said, "Be careful!"
