New Life and New Feelings Chapter 1

"Donnie? Come on you've been your lab all day at least get a few minutes break to eat something" Leo told his younger brother after knocking on the door.

"I'm almost done Leo I promise" Donnie replayed and continued his work.

"You said the same thing 12 hours ago" Leo responded and let out a sigh.

Donnie soon gave up and walked over to the door and unlocked it, he normally never locked the door just in case but this time he didn't want to be disturbed by anyone and opened the door. In front of him stood a worried Leonardo who had started to worry about his smartest younger brother, sure Donnie would work in his reach, projects and inventions but it was rare of him to work without getting any sleep or without eating anything.

"But before that can I at least explain to you guys what I've been working on?" Donnie asked and looked at Leo.

"Sure, we're all worried about you anyway Donnie" Leo responded and walked towards the kitchen were the rest of their family was.

Leo wanted to say something to Donnie but decided it would be best to save all questions for later when they were around the others, if this really was something important that Donnie wanted everyone to know about then he could wait just a little bit longer. And the moment Leo and Donnie walked into the kitchen Mikey stopped cooking and looked at Donnie and gave him a smile but before anyone got a chance to say anything Donnie spoke up.

"You're all probably wonder what I've been working on?" Donnie started and looked around and everyone nodded in respond.

"Well you all know how much we complain about having to be down here all day long? So I figured I should try and see if I couldn't fix that somehow and a few hours ago I finally found a way" Donnie said and all of his brothers looked at him in surprise.

"I was able to make a transformation liquid out of the mutogen so in short all of us will be able to turn into humans for a few hours and go topside in broad daylight without having to worry about anyone knowing that we really are turtles" Donnie finished and at first no one said a word they just looked at Donnie like he had just told them the most impossible thing.

"Are you sure it works Donnie?" Leo suddenly said.

"I'm 60% sure it works, I've been checking it over and over again for the past 7 hours but without anything to try it on I can't be 100% sure" Donnie answered.

After that everyone got quiet again, none of them knew how to react to this. All of them wanted to be able to go topside without having to fear that anyone would see them and judge them by that. But the one who thought about it the most were Master Splinter, if it truly worked what would they do? Where would they live? And if his sons wanted to start going to school how would he be able to pay for it? Splinter thought about it for a while before he looked up at Donnie.

"If you are sure this will work then I am more than happy to try" Splinter said and smiled at Donnie to assure him that he meant it.

"So wait you're saying you want me to test it on you?" Donnie asked with a slight confused look on his face.

"I'm saying we are all going to try it, right my sons?" Splinter said out loud and looked at both Mikey and Leo who nodded back at their father/sensei.

"But what if it doesn't work?" Mikey asked and Leo could tell that Mikey was getting scared.

"Don't worry Mikey if it doesn't turn us into humans the worst thing that can happen to us is that we get sick. It won't make our mutation any worse that much I know" Donnie said and before he could say anything else Splinter got up from the chair.

"Very well then, let us all go to Donatello's lab to try it" Splinter said and started to walk over to Donnie's lab.

"Aren't we going to eat first Master Splinter?" Mikey asked confused.

"No Michelangelo. This is important to your brother and if it does work we will have something to celebrate. Donatello don't forget to let our human friends Casey and April to know about all this" Splinter said and walked into Donnie's lab with his sons right behind him.

"I already have Splinter they are both on their way here as we speak. Both of them wants to see if it works or not" Donnie replayed and sure enough they heard Casey and April.

When everyone was in the lab Donnie walked over to a bench with four syringes on a metal plate, when Mikey saw the syringes his body stiffened and he wanted to walk out again. After Donnie had reassured Mikey that it wouldn't hurt at all and when they were done he didn't need to worry about getting another syringe injected into his arm. When everyone had sat down on chairs Donnie picket up the metal plate and picked up a syringe one by one and injected the liquid that was in them into his brothers arms then his father's arm, when there were only one left he put the metal plate again and April injected the liquid into Donnie's arm once Donnie sat down on a chair. At first nothing happened and Donnie thought that he had failed but soon he started to feel exhausted.

"Suddenly I feel exhausted…" Donnie said out loud before the world got black for him and he collapsed onto the floor as he fell asleep, his brothers and father doing the same.

"Guys! Are you all okay?!" April said out loud as she walked over to Donnie and started to shake his shoulder only to see that he had just fallen asleep, nothing more.

"Are they sleeping?" Casey asked as he looked at April.

"Yeah they are but what I wonder if that was supposed to happen?" April said out loud and looked back at Casey.

"Let us just hope so" Casey responded before he helped his turtle friends one by one to get them into their bedrooms.

Somewhere else another family had their own problems involving them having to move again. This family was only a family of two, a mother and her rebellious son. Ever since her husband died the temper and behavior of their son had gotten out of hand, he would constantly get in trouble in school and since he kept getting into trouble he would soon get expelled from the school and they would be forced to move.

"But I don't want to move again mom! It's not my fault others start making fun of me and then when I stand up for myself I'm the one who gets in trouble and not them!" A teenage boy yelled at his mother who had already started to load a truck with their stuff.

"And how many times to I have to tell you Raphael not to let your anger get the best of you? I know they are insulting you for your unusual name but if you show anger towards them they'll find it fun and keep it up" She lectured and looked at her son.

Her son was rather tall standing at a 6 foot 7 in height with muscular arms from all the years of training. His hair had an unusual dark red color much like her own, it's short cut and pretty messy. His eye color was the same emerald green like his father once had. The clothes he often wore were either dark blue jeans or black jeans with a white T-shirt that would be a bit too big for him and a leather jacket with two sais printed on the back of the jacket and normal sneakers. People often thought that Raphael was the type of teenager that would get in trouble with the police and was listed in the police record but truth be told he wasn't. He was a nice guy but he just had a different humor than most, he liked to joke around a lot with others that most people would take as an insult which had always been a problem for him.

"Where are we moving this time?" Raph spoke as he knew it would be impossible to change his mother's mind.

"To the same place you used to live in as a child before we had to move because of your father's new job" She replayed and looked at her only child.

"You mean we're moving back to New York?" He said and looked surprised he thought he would never move back there because of the Purple Dragon gang that started to be a problem when he was young.

"That's right so can you please stop being mad at me and help me? We have a long drive a head of us and I want to get to New York as soon as possible" After she had told her son that Raph got silent and started to help out after all he knew better than to make his own mother mad.

Even though Raphael loves his mother and cares about the only family he have left more than anything he tries his best not to get on his mother's nerves too much. After all his mother was pretty famous when it came to the fighting world, if someone knows how to fight in the art of Ninjitsu they are most likely to know about his mother. Reason being his mother was one of the few female ninjas or kunoichi as they are called to compete in fighting contests as well as she owned a lot of dojos that teaches ninjitsu all over the world. When Raph had learned at a very young age what his mother did he asked if she could train him, wanting to hear him say that she didn't think twice and now when his son is 17 he knows a lot about the fighting style but he still has a long way to go before he is a master of it. He might have trained ninjitsu all his life but mastering it can take a life time.

The very next day Raph and his mother had arrived at the city of New York and at first Raph still wanted to go back home but he also knew that he didn't have much of a choice in this matter so he stayed quiet and looked out the window as they passed street after street. When it took longer than he thought he was about to ask his mother if they were lost but she had already pulled up the car beside two teenagers to ask for directions.

"Excuse me but can you tell me where this is?" His mother kindly asked and gave a piece of paper to the girl which happened to be April who was on her way with Casey back to their turtle, now hopefully human friends.

"Sure it's up this road and after 5 blocks turn right and it should be the 3rd house on the left" April replayed and handed back the paper.

"Well that's good to know, means I'm on the right way. Thank you" She said and smiled at April before she drove off.

"Do you think they are new around here?" Casey asked as he watched the car drive off.

"It's a possibility but who knows they might have lived here before" She answered and started to walk again.

"So you did see the teenager as well? I thought you missed him" Casey spoke and followed her.

"Of course I saw him but he didn't look very happy though" April commented before she turned and walked into an alley way and when there were no one around she opened a manhole cover and jumped down with Casey not too far behind.

"Maybe he didn't want to move?" Casey said once he were down in the sewers with April.

"Maybe let's just focus on the guys for now, you did bring some clothes for them just in case?" April asked and looked at Casey.

"Of course I have them" He said and held up the bag he had on his back.

"Good then come on were almost th—" Was April managed to say.

"AHHH!" They heard Mikey scream in his usual girly scream.

When they heard Mikey scream they thought he was in some kind of trouble so they raced over to the lair and saw a human run out of the bathroom naked while looking around like he had just seen a ghost. When April saw that the guy was naked she quickly covered her eyes and looked down on her feet.

"Dude it worked! I'm a human!" And when Casey and April heard that voice they knew it belonged to Mikey.

"You're not the only one Mikey" Leonardo said as he walked out of his bedroom while looking at himself like he had just switched bodies with someone else.

"Well one thing is for sure, it's going to take some times getting used to having 5 fingers and no shell on my back" Donnie said to himself as he walked out of his bedroom.

"Here you'd want to wear these if you're going topside" Casey said as he put down the bag and took out some clothes and handed some to Mikey, Donnie and Leo.

"But what about Master Splinter?" Mikey asked.

"What about me?" Splinter said as he walked out of his bedroom wearing his red robes.

"Nothing sensei" Mikey said as he remembered that Splinter had those and started to put on the clothes that Casey had given him.

When they all were dressed they were surprised that the clothes fit them but they were also grateful that Casey and brought some clothes with him. Leo and his brothers all looked at each other to see how they looked like. Leo had grown slightly in height standing now at a 6 foot 8 with short black wavy hair. He still had the same blue eye color like before. He wore black jeans with a black T-shirt with a guitar printed on the front side of it and dark blue converse. Mikey was still a bit short but still a bit taller than before standing at a 5 foot 9 in height and he had short blond hair. He still had the same baby blue eye color like before. He wore blue jeans with a white T-shirt with the text New York City printed on the front side of it, white sneakers and a dark blue jeans jacket. And Donnie was still the tallest out of his brothers standing at a 6 foot 9 in height with short dark brown hair. He still had the same brown colored eyes. Donnie wore light blue jeans, a white T-shirt and a light blue shirt jacket and black sneakers.

"Dudes we look awesome!" Mikey said after he had taken a good look at both himself and his brothers.

"So what are you guys going to do now?" April said once Casey and tapped her on her shoulder as a sign that she could look now.

"I don't know but I would love to go to school with you guys" Mikey said as he walked over to April and Casey.

"And how are we supposed to afford that?" Donnie said and looked at Mikey.

"Let me worry about that Donatello, in the meantime why don't you and your brothers go topside? I need to speak with Casey and April in private" Splinter spoke up which caused Donnie to look at him instead.

"If you say so sensei April contact one of us when you and Splinter are done on one of our T-phones" Leo said as he made his way out of the lair with his brothers after him.

"Sure thing Leo" April responded and followed Master Splinter into the dojo to speak with him about something.

"Leo what are we supposed to do in the mean time?" Donnie asked once they were topside.

"I don't know, look around and see if we can find something interesting to do" Leo responded as he started to walk down the street.

"If Master Splinter can get us into school how do you think it will be like?" Mikey asked his older brothers has he followed Leo.

"I don't know Mikey but I sure would like to know" Leo responded as he kept walking while looking around.

None of the three brothers were used to walking around in broad daylight let alone walking around without having to worry about being seen as freaks. Being able to do all of this was a blessing to all of them now that their enemies haven't done anything for almost two years. The Kraang went back to their home planet and haven't been back since then, The Shredder was defeated long ago and now Karai is in charge of the Foot Clan and she promised not to harm them and she have kept her promise so far. The only real enemies they had now a days is the Purple Dragons but they don't put up much of a fight so dealing with just them got boring for all of them.

"Alright you bone head I'm giving you one last chance to just walk away and leave me the hell alone" Leo suddenly heard a voice say from an alley and when he had his brother got there they saw a teenage boy about their age being surrounded by some Purple Dragon punks.

"Not until you give us all your valuable items" One of them responded but the moment one tried to grab him he got knocked out within seconds.

"Suit yourself!" The teenager said and before anyone could react he had taken out almost every Purple Dragon but one who seemed to have been the leader in the whole thing. But before the teenager could do anything the "leader" of the small attack had run off.

"That's what I thought" He said to himself and just as he was about to walk away he noticed Leo and his two brothers.

"And what are you three staring at?" He said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Dude that was awesome! Where did you learn those ninja moves?" Mikey suddenly said which took the teenager off guard.

"How did you know it was the art of ninjitsu?" He responded the question with a question.

"Our father is teaching us" Leo said but he didn't take his eyes off the teenager in front of him, for some reason he couldn't.

"Your father eh? Well I learned it from my mother" The teenager responded and was about to walk off before Donnie spoke up.

"Your mother doesn't happen to be the kunoichi who have won several fighting competitions and owns several dojos all over the world?" Donnie asked.

"Yeah she is. What about it?" Was the only thing Donnie got as an answer.

"That is awesome! Who are you anyway?" Mikey said.

"The name's Raphael and you three are?" Raphael answered and looked at them.

"I'm Leonardo and these are my brothers, Michelangelo and Donatello" Leo answered and pointed first to Mikey then Donnie as he said their names.

"Named after renaissances master you three as well huh?" Raph said out loud to himself before he walked off.

"Will we ever see you again dude?" Mikey asked and watched Raph stop in his tracks.

"Maybe" Was the only respond Mikey got before Raph walked off.

:: Note ::

Okay I know that Raphael is a part of Leo, Donnie and Mikey's family but in this story he is a normal human that gets to know them when they are humans. Also in this story they are all humans and their enemies are pretty much gone, well not the Purple Dragons but the others are, but for the most part this story is going to follow Leo, Donnie, Mikey and Raph as they go through high school. Warning, there will be LeoxRaph and DonniexMikey in this story and some CaseyxApril. Also Leo, Donnie and Mikey are not blood related brothers in this story so in that regard there won't be any incest in this story.
