A/N-Ok, before I get started, I'd like to mention that Splinter is going to be sort of OOC. So, for all you Splinter fans out there-sorry. I know that I could've done this story more believably with Shredder, Xever, & Chris Bradford, but I feel that it would be more of a challenge to have the good guys on this type of case. Keep reading and you'll see what I mean.
The turtles have just finished beating their arch-nemesis, Shredder, for the umpteenth time. They've made their way back to the comfort of their home in the glamorous and clean New York City sewer system...
Leonardo stretches out on the couch and asks, "Ahh…home sweet sewer, eh guys?"
Mikey smiles and answers, "Yeah, totally!"
Raph shakes his head, "Man, will Shredder EVER quit? I mean, we beat him and his goons like, every freakin' WEEK!"
Donny replies, "Well, I don't see it happening anytime soon. He seemed pretty pissed off this last time."
Mikey says, "Yeah, I TOTALLY agree! He actually ran OUT of foot soldiers, dudes!"
Leo answers, "Well, even so—you know he's likely making more for next time."
All four nod in agreement as Mikey goes to the kitchen to grab a pizza.
Suddenly, emanating from Splinter's study…
"TURTLES, COME QUICK! LEONARDO, MICHELANGELO, DONATELLO, RAPHAEL! I NEED YOU—AT ONCE!"
Leonardo exclaims, "Oh no—Master Splinter's in trouble! We gotta' hurry!
Michaelangelo stuffs his pizza in his mouth as he runs with the other four toward Splinter's study.
They get to the doorway with their weapons drawn.
Leo asks, "Master! What is it—did Shredder come back!?"
Mikey asks, "Oh no! Is it another invasion of the Kraang!?"
Donatello asks, "Don't TELL me—that nut-job Baxter Stockman is on the loose again?!"
Raphael shakes his head and retorts, "No, it's GOTTA be the Purple Dragons running amok again!"
With a look of intensity in his eyes, Master Splinter replies, "No, my turtles! It's much, MUCH more serious!"
Donny replies, "Well, what's wrong, sensei?"
Splinter calmly replies, "Um...uh, could someone grab the remote? I don't feel like getting up. Oh, and could someone refill my glass of lemonade? I can't watch the news without my lemonade."
The turtles all look at each other, grumbling amongst each other, and putting away their weapons. Splinter just sits in his easy-chair with a sheepish grin on his face.
Splinter raises the glass and waves it, causing the ice cubes to clink along the sides of the glass. Mikey raises an eyebrow and takes the glass into the kitchen as Leo hands Splinter the remote.
Splinter smiles contentedly and flicks on the news as Mikey is just bringing back the lemonade. Splinter closes his eyes as he takes a sip. "Aaahhhh…refreshing. Thank you my sons."
The turtles just all leave the room, shaking their heads.
In the living room…
Mikey has a stack of pizzas in front of him and he's eating them as if they were cookies. Leo stretches back out on the couch and, after a few minutes, he appears to have zoned out. Donny catches this and waves his hand in front of Leo's face, saying, "Hey, Leo! Leoooo! You awake, man?"
Leo jumps a little and replies nervously, "I was, uh…just deep in thought, that's all."
The other three turtles glance at each other and burst out in a fit of laughter.
"What's so funny, you guys?"
"Oh come ON Leo—we're not dumb!" Donny remarks.
Mikey gupls down yet another pizza and adds, "Like, DUH, dude—we know you're thinking about that Karai chick!
Leo blushes momentarily as the other turtles laugh amongst themselves.
Leo stammers, "Uh…th-that's not TRUE, guys! She's EVIL and must be stopped!"
Raph says, "Please guy—you know as well as WE do that you still haven't gotten over that—ahem—wardrobe malfunction she had the last time you two were in battle!"
Leo closes his eyes from embarrassment momentarily. He says, "Well…FINE then, yes I WAS thinking about that! I mean, when I accidentally tore her shirt open…and I saw…nirvana! Mikey, Don, Raph-when I saw her perky bazooms along with those perfectly pierced nipples, I just couldn't take my eyes off of them!
Raph answers, "Yeah, you shoulda' SEEN yourself, man! Your eyes looked as though they were going to roll out of your head, Hehehehe!"
Leo sighs and answers, "Yeah…well that's when she roundhoused my ass and sent me and my blades in opposite directions—and that's the ONLY reason I lost that fight! And I need a rematch!"
Mikey picks up a slice of pizza and hands it to Leo. Leo sniffs it and pushes it back in disgust.
"Hey, what's wrong, dude? Pizza with ice cream and chocolate sprinkles ALWAYS cheers ME up!"
Leo sighs and says, "Guys, I don't know—I need a girlfriend. I'll be ok.
Donny chirps in, "Well maybe you could aspire to have what me and April have, someday?"
Raph, a bit irritated, answers, "Donny-she's turned your green ass down like 1000 times by now! When are you going to get it through your thick skull?"
Mikey says, "Yeah man, she's not into you like that. Get over it, bro."
Don just folds his arms and calmly replies, "You see, she loves me but she just doesn't know it yet. She's going to be the mother of our turtles."
Raph raises and eyebrow and calmly asks, "Hey Donnie?"
"Yeah?"
"...get your head outta' your shell."
Donnie just waves Raph off as he gets up and heads toward his lab.
Suddenly—yep, once AGAIN from Splinter's study…
"QUICK, MY TURTLES—I NEED YOU! THIS IS AWFUL, THIS IS…UNGODLY! COME NOW, MY SONS!"
