## Synopsis

After learning that Baxter isn't her real father, Becca decided to find out her true past and her *real* parents.

## Script

Beatriz: (yawns) Time for breakfast. (takes out everything to make pancakes) Some chocolate chip pancakes to start the day.

Chaplin and Kameko walks into the kitchen.

Chaplin: So how was that speech? Was it too much information? Not enough information? A little bit in between? What’s your opinion, Kameko?

Kameko: It seems fine. But you’re worrying way too much on this. My advice is to be calm and collected. Show no sign of anxiety.

Chaplin: Okay. (repeats Kameko’s advice)

Kameko: Perfect. Hey, Paw. Are you making something?

Beatriz: Some chocolate chip pancakes. Want some?

Kameko: Yeah! I never had chocolate chip pancakes before!

Chaplin: Guess I could have one.

Beatriz: Okay. Chocolate chip pancakes coming right up. Just hold on. (cooking) So what’s the occasion?

Chaplin: Well, I’m starting school today and I’m so nervous. I don’t want to screw up or do anything embarrassing on the first day.

Beatriz: It’s best that you should relax. You’re not going to do anything embarrassing or screw up on your speech. Just have some confidence. After all, DNA is here.

Geneon: And I’ll help you.

Chaplin: Thanks. I know I can talk to you girls.

Kameko: No problem. Right now, I should be reading my superhero comics. Superman is waiting for me! (runs to grab her comic)

Beatriz: (chuckles) That’s Kameko alright…

Chaplin: A strange mutant turtle indeed.

### Lair

Chihiru: It seems a Winter Island had appeared.

Vivi: You mean Drum Island. We've been there before due to Nami's sickness.

Luffy: And that's where we met Chopper! He's a cool reindeer! And he's a doctor!

Gundham: A reindeer doctor? That's absurd.

Luffy: But it's true though!

Mao Yin: Is this why we have that blizzard?

Josephine: What should we do?!

Kitty: Calm down, everyone. Don't get all worked up.

Jonah: She's right. We should calm down and think of a plan.

Leo: Right.

### Roosevelt High School

#### Outside

Geneon: Take deep breaths, Chaplin.

Chaplin: I know. I’m just nervous yet exciting at the same time. This is so nerve-racking. So many people and it seems everyone has their own group. Hope I could fit in too…

#### Hallways

Chaplin: According to the schedule, I should head to my homeroom. Let’s see… Let’s see… Where’s that homeroom number? (bumps into someone)

Maria: Oh my. Are you alright?

Chaplin: Huh?

He looks up to see Maria with her hand reached out. Blushing, he grabs her hand to stand up.

Chaplin: I'm okay. Sorry I bumped into you. I was looking for my homeroom number.

Maria: I see. What's your homeroom number if I may ask?

Chaplin: 124.

Maria: That's my homeroom! I can show you where it is!

Chaplin: You can? Thank you so much!

Maria: No problem. Now just follow me.

Geneon: See? Now you're making friends already.

Chaplin: Guess I am, DNA.

### Later

#### After School

##### Becca's Apartment

Beccaine went back to her house.

Beccaine: (sighs) It feels so lonely here. I should make something for a snack then going back to the lait with the others.

Alolan Vulpix: Hey Becca! Look at these papers!

Beccaine: Papers? That’s strange. Father will usually put them away. Wait, what’s this?

The papers were all missing person reports.

Beccaine: Missing person? Name: Serena Trails. Last seen… (gasps in horror and drops the paper) No way… This can’t be true! (drops on her bottom) Why would father has these papers for?!

### Foot HQ

Beccaine: Father~! What are these papers?! Missing person reports?! You better explain to me this instant!

Baxter: Wait, Becca! Look, thossssse papersssss are junk!

Beccaine: You’re not my real father aren’t you?! I can’t believe this! You flying bastard! For all these years, you dare lie in front of me?!

Baxter: Now, sweetie.

Beccaine: Don’t sweetie me! You’re nothing more then a con artist! I can’t believe you kidnapped me and make me believe that I was your daughter! (tears forming) I can’t believe you! You’re just a huge liar! I quit being in the Foot Clan forever! (Baxter tries to touch her) Don’t you dare touch me! You’re just a bastard with a pure evil heart! I don’t want to see your ugly fly face ever again for the rest of my life! (runs away)

Junko: Whoa. That’s pretty harsh. (takes picture)

Kameko: Agree. Wow, I never knew she could be this angry…

### Rooftops

Beccaine: (panting)

Jamm: Becca?

Beccaine: I don't know who I am anymore... (falls to her knees while in tears) How could he do this to me?! Am I really Serena Trails?!

Jamm: Please calm down.

Beccaine: (panting slowly and heavily) I can't calm down.

### Lair

#### Common Area

Raph: Where’s Becca? She should be here by then.

Kyra: Maybe she’s strolling. Don’t worry. I bet she’ll be back.

Raph: Hope so. But I hope nothing bad had happen to her.

[RINGING]

Raph: Hello?

Beccaine: Raph?

Raph: Hey Becca. What's wrong?

Beccaine: Can you come? Something bad had happened.

Raph: Something bad happened? Where are you right now?

Beccaine: At the rooftops... (sobs)

Raph: I'll be there. (hangs up) I have to go. (runs out of the Lair)

### Rooftops

Raph: Becca? (Becca looks at Raph and he was shocked) Sweetheart, what happen? Sweetheart? (Becca hugs Raph tightly) Sweetheart… Shh… It’s okay… Don’t cry…

Beccaine: Raph I...

Raph: Let's head to the Lair so we can talk. (picks her up bridal-style) You can calm down there.

### Lair

#### Common Area

Beccaine: (grabs tea from Splinter) Thanks. (drinks)

April: So what happened?

Beccaine: Well, I went to my house to check on a few things and Vulpix had found something quite interesting. (takes out papers) These are missing person's papers. I don’t know why he would have it but then I realize something horrifying. He wasn’t my real dad. He tricked me into thinking that he was my dad. Casey, I’m sorry I doubt you. You were right. My real name is Serena, not Beccaine.

Casey: I forgive you.

Rose J.: So what are you going to do?

Beccaine: I want to find my family. My real family. I have to. They could be out there somewhere and I won’t stop until I found them. Could you please help me? Please?

Raph: We will. We’re friends, aren’t we?

Beccaine: (smiles) Thank you.

Lina: I’ll go ahead and hack into the national system to see any families with the last name being Trails. (takes out laptop)

Mikoto: Now this is gonna be cool!

Josephine: Yeah! Once we find your real family, you’ll be able to reunite with them! It’s gonna be so exciting for you!

Beccaine: It will… But what if they live out of state? Then I have to move there and…

Raph: No, I bet they’re still here in New York somewhere. We just have to look extra hard.

Beccaine: I hope so. I don’t want to move. I love it here because I get to meet you guys. So my life isn’t really boring if there’s no action.

Mikey: Aw yeah!

Lina: Found it! There’s a Trails family right here! Kyra, right down the address so we won’t forget it!

Kyra: You got it. (writes down address) Got the address.

Akame: Let’s go and take you to your real family.

Beccaine: Right.

### Outside

#### Streets

Akame: No sign of the enemy.

Kyra: You sure about this?

Beccaine: I must find my parents. According to the address, it should be down 5 blocks to the right.

Leone: Keep your eyes open for baddies. They could appear anywhere.

Mine: I'll shoot anybody who gets in the way. No hesitation whatsoever.

Leonardo W.: Please calm down, Mine. Nothing's going to happen.

Mine: Well just in case. You may never know who could pop up next. Maybe even Esdeath herself. She'll definitely kill us for no reason but for Shredder.

Leonardo W.: True... But still.

Mine: Fine. I'll be easy. Don't worry.

Leonardo W.: Uh right.

Beccaine: (sighs)

Raph (human): You're nervous?

Beccaine: Yeah. A little.

(exploration mode: Get to Becca's house)

Raph: That must be it. Now we better get going. (leaves)

Beccaine: Thanks. (jumps down) Okay, here goes nothing. (rings doorbell) Um, my name is Serena Trails and I would like to come in please.

Man: Okay. We’ll let you in. (buzzes Becca in)

Beccaine: Thank you. (goes inside) Now I should go to this apartment number.

Ribombee: There! (knocks on door)

Ryan: (opens door) Serena? Is that…?

Beccaine: (nods)

Linda: Serena! (hugs Becca) It’s really you! I can’t believe it’s you!

Beccaine: Mom… I missed you.

Linda: And we missed you too. Now come in. Dinner is already done.

Beccaine: Okay. And we have a lot of catching up to do.

Mickie (Human): So sweet!

Rin: Yeah. (chuckles)
