At the dump, Michelangelo, skateboarded amongst piles of trash '"Alright! Fifteen and totally extreme! Booyah!" He skated past Leo, Donnie, Raph, NANO and Yuuki who were searching through the trash gathering up some items.

Raphael made a disgusted face as when something red and gooey was stuck in his hand. NANO pointed his finger and laughed at him. Yuuki, silently scolded them, while making a stern face, and they immediately stopped.

"Hey, Don. You don't want something that's so gross that you don't want to touch it right?" Raph asked as he shaked his hand trying to get some of the goop off.

"If it's going to improve the lair. We can use it." Donnie answered as he stood up

Wahoo!" Mikey exclaimed as he skated past

"Why isn't Mikey helping? It's not fair" Raph complained as he crossed his arms

"Raph, would you rather have Mikey happy or Mikey bored?" Donnie asked as Mikey skated past Raph, who had a dead panned look on his face "Right."

Mikey stopped in front of a fire and Donnie pushed up a cart from behind "Hey thanks for the shopping cart guys." Donnie replied as he looked at some of his homeless friends

A man in a red scarf, wearing a dark green jacket and green and red hat stood up "Hope you found some useful items amid the refuse, my friends."

"Sure did, professor." Donnie answered

"Them guys in the turtle suits are back." One man looked at his friend sitting beside him, asked

" Yep. "

"Ever wonder why they dress up like that?"

" Nope. "

The professor walked up to the brothers "Here are some things we've picked up for you. An undamaged circuit board for you sir." He said as he handed Donnie's gift.

"A near mint condition comic book for you my green lad." He hands Mikey a comic book "Last time you said that you were collecting them."

"Thanks professor." Mikey replied, happily

Then, the professor walked up to NANO, who quickly hid behind Yuuki's leg "And for you my little robot friend, a teddy bear!" The robot stared at it in wonder beaming happily then took it from him

"What do you say?" Yuuki looked down and asked

"Thank you!" NANO joyfully exclaimed

The professor made a small chuckle "No problem at all my little friend."

"Here we've got some blankets and warm clothes." Donnie replied as he handed them the man

"One mans refuse is another man's treasure." The professor replied, gratefully "You know, there is a theory that we're all recycled."

"Another theory that's the fifth one today." One of the homeless, complained

" Yup."

"The big bang theory says that all matter has been exploding, then imploding the exploding since the beginning of time. Our very molecules are being recycled." The professor explained.
