Wasn't Everything Much Easier When They Thought All Girls Had Cooties?

Splinter groaned as he sat on the couch in the liar with April O'Neil sitting on one side of him and Casey Jones sitting on the other, both of them not giving any comfort as they seemed rather amused at what was going on.

A few hours ago his sons Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo had gone to the surface for their patrol and like usual they at least saved one person from trouble.

This time it had been a teenage girl from their age who had been attacked by Purple Dragons.

Upon learning the girl had been knocked out by the thugs his sons had brought her with them back to the liar.

Sure, with all the friends the turtles had already made Splinter didn't have a much of a problem with it as he once had but there was one problem.

The girl was , as he said before, the same age as the turtles, she unlike most people didn't scream when she woke up and first saw them, she seemed to have a lot in common with each of his sons and to top it all off… She was really pretty!

So now here he was, watching as the five teens sat on the floor, talking together, with his sons who had all wider eyes, huge smiles and pink cheeks telling things about themselves and embarrassing each other in order to get her attention.

The rat flinched when Raph shoved Mikey out of the girls sight and took his place before breaking into the story about how he once helped a little boy find his mother.

That of course was followed by stories about how Mikey was the first to befriend Leatherhead, how Don had done his best to help the Fugitoid, Professor Honeycutt and how Leo was the first one who had wanted to stop the Gang-War that had been in the city when the Shredder was defeated.

As she was touched by all of the actions they went to telling embarrassing things about each other which was too much to all point out but she just thought all of those things were cute.

And finally they started talking about their skills -which included showing their muscles off, of course- and then the girl asked if they could show her to which the guys stormed out of the room towards the dojo like speeding bullets.

No sooner than they had left he heard yelling and the clashing of metal, causing Splinter to graon again.

"Uhm… I'll go and make sure they won't kill each other to impress her." Casey said and quickly jogged after them.

"Are you alright, Master Splinter?" April asked as she tried to sound worried thought she couldn't help but giggle at the turtles's antics and their father's reaction.

Splinter simply rubbed his temples for a moment before looking at her again.

"Despite the fact that I haven't been attacked my head is hurting as if I have had a herd of elephants run over it." the rat confessed.

"CASEY, YOU BONEHEAD! GET OUT OF THE WAY SO I CAN SHOW HER MY FINISHING MOVE ON THE OTHERS!"

"YOUR FININSHING MOVE?! I'M THE ONE WHO IS WINNING THIS!"

Those lines rang thought the whole liar from out of the dojo and it was followed by a loud crash and Casey screaming in pain.

"Oh dear… I suppose I should go and break them up before more things go wrong." Splinter told April and then got up and run to the dojo where more crashed and screams were heard.

"Wasn't everything much easier when they thought all girls had cooties?" he asked himself quietly as he run but April heard him and couldn't help but laugh again.
