Splinter had always considered himself a fair father and sensei, but there were times when the aged ninja master needed other ways to entertain himself other than just his beloved soap operas. Seeing the girl he'd taken in, as part of his small family, doing her chores with such diligence and speed was more than an amusing sight, it went perfectly with his morning tea and biscuits.

This wasn't a punishment he'd dished out, nor was it part of her training; he hadn't even noticed this behavior until one morning when she'd brought him breakfast in bed, and began to make it a daily occurrence. Then she began to wait on him hand and foot, 24/7, which made him think the raven haired girl had probably gotten herself in trouble and was using her charm to distract Splinter from finding out.

He soon found the real reason behind her antics, after a rather short interrogation session with Michelangelo; whose love for pizza was stronger than his loyalty to his adopted "sister".

After that, he need only laugh it off and let Who do her thing for as long as she wished to. Only Splinter knew his mind wouldn't change no matter how many chores or favors she did for him. It was only fair, he thought; the girl and his boys had nearly wrecked the place the last time- why would it be any different now?

"Ok… I'm… I'm done with the… with the... whew, just need… a moment" Who panted. "Done with the… the thing. N-now, can T come to the lair for a friendly, zero alcohol reunion? Please?!"

Splinter stoked his beard with a thoughtful expression. "Let me think about it. No"

"OH C'MON!"

"Ehem!"

The girl visibly flinched; Splinter's stern gaze was totally expected but it always had the same effect. "Sorry sensei"

"I still cannot believe you want my answer to be different after the scandal your friend, my sons and you caused in this sacred household, Who-san"

"At risk of being hit with your cane, Master Splinter, I'll just say no one was murdered and we all still kept our virtue, didn't we? Unless the guys are fooling around when no one's looking. That, I am not responsible for"

Splinter's raised brow was enough reply for Who. "Y-yeah, I'll… see myself out"

"That would be best" Once he finished talking, Splinter was caught by surprise- something that rarely happened- by his shellcell's ringtone. A quick look at the screen let him know the identity of his caller. "April…"

Who refrained from laughing at the aged rodent's mumbled curses aimed at the device when he failed to, once again, understand how to answer the call. "You slide your finger on the screen. To the right"

"Ah. Thank you. Hello?" Not even a second had gone by and Splinter had to remove the phone from his sensible ears to avoid the incoherent angry screams coming through the speaker. "M-Mrs. Jones, calm yourself! What is the matter!"

Who slunk her way out of the room.

"Guess I'll have to train another newbie as my friend" Who muttered as she left.

Defeated, exhausted and to top it all, hungry; for days she had worked her butt off and for what? She'd expected Splinter to be a bit more tolerant but he was a dad after all. She should've seen it coming, really. As the dark haired girl made her way to the kitchen, she interrupted in her trek by hopeful faces.

"So what did he say?" Don asked, pretty sure he knew the answer.

Who bypassed him continuing on toward the kitchen. "What do you think he said"

"Did he budge?" The red masked turtle asked, giving her more attention than she was used to from him, or liked.

The girl shrugged him off and continued on. "No luck. It's hopeless and I give up. Now, who wants burritos! I do, I'm starving"

"Was that April calling?" Leo asked, looking concerned by his sensei's outburst over the phone, info he had no doubt gleaned while snooping outside the door.

Annoyed in being stopped yet again the darked haired girl ducked past the blue banded turtle and hurried toward the kitchen. She now had a small crowd of turtles following her in the same direction. "Maybe? Unless by April you mean screaming banshee"

"She's getting worse. Do you think it's-"

"-don't, Raph. Don't even think about saying PMS. I'll deck you!" Who snapped, her annoyance and hunger overwhelming her as she finally made it to the kitchen where they found the youngest working on lunch.

"Hey Whoey, is T coming?" The orange banded turtle greeted her.

The dark haired girl slumped into a chair at the table, laying her head down. "No Mike, she's not-"

A sudden call cut the girl off.

"My sons, I must leave for a few hours" Splinter's voice could be heard as he approached the room. "April is in great need of my assistance and I believe Mr. Jones is in need of rescuing"

The brothers looked at each other slightly shocked. "Whoa, that bad huh?" Leo asked.

"Won't you need backup, sensei?" Raph suggested. "An angry April is more dangerous than Shredder"

Mikey chuckled. "You're telling me! She almost deshelled me because I walked in on her trying to finish a card tower and the air destroyed it"

Don crossed his arms. "The air, huh?"

"... ok maybe I tried to surprise her" Mikey replied. Seeing that his brother's posture wasn't going to change, he decided to come clean. "ALRIGHT, I WANTED TO SCARE HER!"

Splinter shook his head. "Perhaps it is a simple misunderstanding. I will be back shortly. Leonardo, you are in charge until I return"

"What's new" Raph muttered, fist bumping his snickering genius brother.

The ninja master hadn't yet left the lair but a thought was already brewing in Who's mind. Her mischievous grin could put Michelangelo's to shame.

She leaned in, closer to the nunchuck wielding warrior. "Hey Mikey?"

"Hm?"

"Call T and tell her to get her butt in gear. She's coming over"

...

"Sooo… did Master Splinter lift my sentence or what because I thought I was still banned from here?" The blonde haired girl inquired of her friend as she entered the lair.

"Yes. Now get in here already" The dark haired girl said ushering her friend inside.

Once inside, T turned and glared at her. "Who, you're lying to me"

"And your point is?"

"C'mon sis, I don't wanna get myself banned from NYC for good!" The blonde complained.

Who rolled her eyes. "Splinter wouldn't do that! He'd just... ban you from this borough, that's all"

"EXACTLY MY POINT!" T replied. "I'm going home before he comes back and YOU get me into more trouble!"

"Hey, I do recall you actually agreeing to our past escapades before. So really, you can only blame yourself"

"ME?!"

"Hey girly! It ain't just the witch who wanted you to come" Raph said casually. "Mikey's been whining about having you over for a week"

"We get it, Captain Denial. You missed her too" Who replied with a grin.

"Well I'm pretty sure Leo won't be too thrilled to see me here. Since its against Splinter's orders" T said, crossing her arms.

Who shrugged. "Eh, he'll be fine and if he's not he can suck it"

"Are you drunk again?"

"Not yet"

The blonde sighed, rubbing her temples. "Please no, not while I'm here at least"

"Ooh yeah! How's the hicky? Still there?" Who asked, tugging on T's shirt while avoiding her kitten baps. "Dude I can still see it! He must have bit you hard!"

"This isn't helping your cause!" The blonde fumed, turning red with embarrassment.

The bathroom door opened, steam coming out along with a wet leaf green turtle. The moment Leo stopped rubbing his face and looked up, he knew his nightmare was about to begin. "Oh hell no. What's she doing here?"

"She's visiting? Duh!" The dark haired girl replied pulling T's face into her armpit to "protect" her.

"Splinter doesn't want her here!" Leo replied then gave the blonde an apologetic look. "No offense, T. You know you're welcome here anytime but-"

"Blah blah blah! Shut up." Who said flapping her hand to mock the lead turtle. "I'll take responsibility yada yada; I'm moving out in a few months anyways, so whatever"

Finally freeing herself, T stared in disbelief at her friend. "You're moving? Where?"

"Out, duh. Geez, what's up with you people talking like Mikey today!"

The youngest groaned at her saying while Raph nudged teasingly on the side.

T sighed, then finally raised her hands in defeat. "Ok well apparently I'm not leaving anytime soon so… what's your plan? Why am I here?"

"Remember that show you made me watch? With the dude in the Elsa dress?" Who asked.

"Yeah?" T's blue eyes widened in realization. "Oh you wanna do that?! Sweet!"

"Wait you actually want to dress up as Elsa? I thought you hated that movie?" The hothead turtle asked confused.

Ignoring his ignorance to their conversation, Who continued. "I pitched the idea to Mikey and he's already getting some costumes from his personal collection. I have the music and there's food so we're good to go"

"Wait, costumes? What are you guys talking about?" Leo asked.

The dark haired girl turned to face the fearless leader with a grin. "Have you ever watched Lip Sync Battle? We're doing that"

At that moment the genius turtle rejoined the group having finally come out from his lab. "Mikey, your ipod is fixed again. Now please, PLEASE, do not give it to Klunk aga- Oh, hi T!"

Who quickly jumped into action. "Just in time, Donnie. We need the entertainment system ready"

Donnie sipped his drink and shrugged nonchalantly. "Uh huh, sure"

Leo fixed him with a stern look. "Don, no"

The genius gave him a quick glance over before heading towards the living room. "I'll have it ready in a few minutes"

"Donnie!" The Leader yelled, feeling like he had lost all control of everyone.

The purple banded turtle sighed dramatically and turned to face his desperate brother. "Leo, I don't see alcohol. And frankly Our turtle luck can't get any worse. So just roll with it before you blow a fuse"

The blue turtle stood there silently not sure how to react as his purple brother turned and left.

"Hey Whoey! How many wigs will we need?" Came the youngest's call from upstairs.

"Bring all the ones you have just in case!" The girl answered. She turned and grinned at Leonardo who was still in shock. "Cmon T, let's go help Donnie get the system ready"

The blonde followed in her friend's footsteps, grimacing at a defiant Leo looking on. "Sorry Leo"

The red banded turtle slapped his brother across the shell. "Overruled by a chick twice in a row. That's going in the record books"

The leader crossed his arms and frowned."Shut up Raphael"

The hotheaded turtle smirked at seeing fearless so irritated. And he wanted it to last. Quickly snatching his brothers towel, Raph headed towards the living room calling over his shoulder. "You love me. Now go get dressed. You're naked"

The blue banded turtle stared at his brother angrily as he left. "... WE'RE ALWAYS NAKED!"
