Me: Ok, I'm editing this one around a bit, so bear with me if stuff doesn't match up.

Leo: Please describe more to us.

Me: All you need to know is that this fic supports the following pairings: Leo X Karai, Donnie X April, Raph X Irma, and Mikey X Angela (OC). The turtles are about 30 in this story, and I am an OC(Ryan). All OC's in this story are: Angie, Ryan(me), Andrew, Luke, Kris, Anna and Elsa. Please excuse the Frozen references. I'm a fanatic.

Leo: And Bite-Me-Batty owns only the storyline and OCs

"Kris!" Karai called. "Kris! It's time to write your invitations!" Karai smiled at Leo as footsteps sounded down the hall of their one story house in the woods. A small mutant turtle with thick black hair and a navy mask bounded into the room.

"Hey sport." Leo grinned.

"Hey dad." The small turtle, Kris, sat next to Leo at the kitchen table. Karai put a stack of six blank cards in front of him.

"Six?" Leo asked. "Are we inviting Casey too?" Karai nodded.

"Raph and Irma, Donnie and April and Anna and Elsa, Mikey and Angie, Splinter, Ryan, and Casey." She counted off. "Can you handle that Kris?" Kris nodded and started writing in the first card.

"Mom?" Kris looked at Karai. "Since I'm gonna be nine, can I please just write 'Casey' instead of 'Mr. Casey'? Annnnnddd Ryan instead of Uncle Ryan, since he isn't actually my uncle?" Leo nodded at Karai, who sighed.

"Yes. Yes you can." She said. Then she paused. "But you're still writing 'Uncle Ryan'." Kris sighed and went back to writing. After a few cards were finished, Leo took one and smiled at Kris's hand writing.

DeAr Uncl DoNNy & AUNt AprIle & ANNA & elsA,

I WooD lIk It If you CAme to my BirtDay pArte. It Is oN SaterDay, SeptImBer 11th At 12:00. See you ther!

~KrIstoFF m. hAmAto

Leo translated underneath Kris's message, correcting the misspellings. Afterword, the card looked like this:

DeAr Uncl DoNNy & AUNt AprIle & ANNA & elsA,

I WooD lIk It If you CAme to my BirtDay pArte. It Is oN SaterDay, SeptImBer 11th At 12:00. See you ther!

~KrIstoFF m. hAmAto

Dear Uncle Donnie, Aunt April, Anna and Elsa,

I would like it if you came to my birthday party. It is on Saturday, September 11th at 12:00. See you there!

~Kristoff M. Hamato

Leo corrected the other cards in a similar fashion and placed them in envelopes, addressing each in cursive. Karai looked over his shoulder.

"Leo, Casey and Ryan's flat is at 4756 Eastman Avenue. Not 4755." She said. Leo scribbled out the five and wrote a six.

"What would I do without you?" He asked.

"Accidentally send an invitation to their grumpy neighbor." She laughed. "Write in that they're NOT to bring their hockey gear. Kris loses plenty of teeth without the assistant of a hockey puck."

Ryan and Casey had been best friends since elementary school. They'd played together on their middle and high school hockey teams, except for briefly in Ryan's freshman year. Temporarily, he had changed schools and played for the Manhattan Mambas for half of the year until finally he returned and smashed the very team he had just played for mere months ago in the playoffs. The two were now both playing for the New York Rangers, and they shared a flat, although they both had money to spare. Kris just loved it when they brought him stuff like autographed hockey pucks, and sticks, and jerseys…one time Ryan even brought him a signed goalie mask. Karai thought that had been a bit much. But her opinion on the mask changed quickly when Casey told him that he'd tried to bring him an autographed toilet seat from Madison Square Garden, like Fred and George Weasly tried to send one from Hogwarts to Ginny. Then, she'd forbidden anything more than a puck. And even those were hard to get past "security."

Leo chuckled and looked at Kris. Kris finished up his last card and looked up at Karai.

"Mom, what's for lunch?" He asked.

"Pizza. Pepperoni and mushroom with no anchovies." Karai answered.

"My favorite!" Kris grinned. Leo ruffled his hair.

"Ya know, you have your mom's hair." He said, fluffing up Kris's black hair so that the blond hair underneath in the back showed.

"Well duh." Kris joked, smoothing his hair back down. "You don't have any hair to have Dad."

"Lose the 'duh.'" Leo said, trying to suppress a grin.

"Kris, don't talk to your father that way, not even messing around." Karai said seriously.

"Mom, look! He doesn't care!" Kris argued.

"Kristoff! Don't argue with your mother. What she says goes." Said Leo, his eyes deadly serious. Kris rolled his eyes.

"Kristoff Michael!" Karai said. "To your room, and don't you ever let me see that again!" Kris looked at his father to save him, but Leo shook his head. Kris trudged off to his room. Leo turned to Karai.

"He's been chatting with Anna and Elsa too much." Leo said. Anna and Elsa were Donnie and April's girls. At ages ten and thirteen, the girls were starting to develop smart mouths toward the authoritative adults. Donnie made Anna do a round of randori for rolling her eyes, which, according to Donnie was a nasty habit she'd picked up from Elsa. April home-schooled the three, seeing as they couldn't go to a normal public school, so Kris was around them a lot.

"That's no excuse." Karai said.

"I never said it was." Leo said matter-of-factually.

"He needs to learn that what those two do does not dictate what he does."

"Well...they are Raph's nieces and nephew." Leo shrugged and Karai gave a faint hint of a smile.

"I suppose that makes sense." She leaned on the table. "We need to start planning his party."

"Let's start with food." Leo said.

"Pizza and ramen." Karai said instantly. "Ramen for Splinter and pizza for everyone else. Ramen made from scratch. He doesn't care for the instant stuff."

"Uhhh...color theme?" Leo asked.

"Navy and green."

"Cake?"

"Chocolate with strawberry frosting, with a molten double chocolate cupcake with choclate frosting and sprinkles for Ryan, hot fudge sundaes for Casey, Angie and Mikey."

"Our present for him?"

"I dunno yet."

"Well then that's the only thing you don't know." Leo chuckled.

"Yeeeeah." Karai smiled. "Also, tell Ryan and Casey no autographed hockey pucks this year. Kris!" Kris bounded out of his room.

"Yeah?" He asked, then winced under the glare he got from his parents. "I mean...yes ma'am?"

"I never want to see you roll your eyes at your father again." Karai said sternly.

"Or your mother." Leo added.

"Ok." Kris sighed.

"Hey, Rai-Rai?" Leo asked. Leo asked.

"Hm?"

"I know someone who can help get us some stuff for Kris's party."

"Like decorations?"

"Yeah."

"I think he'd like that."

"I'm right here!" Kris crossed his arms.

"Sorry Sport." Leo chuckled.

"Call him, Leo." Karai said as she walked to the pantry.

"Will do." Leo smiled. "Hey Kris, why don't you go out back while I make this call and your mom makes lunch?"

"Who ya callin'?" Kris asked.

"Someone." Leo said, giving Kris a gentle push toward the back door. Kris sighed and walked outside. Leo took out his tPhone and dialed a number.

"Please be quick." Karai called over her shoulder. "Lunch is almost ready."

"Hey Andrew...No, no trouble with Shred Head...haha, nope...no, I was wondering if you could help me out?...I need some stuff for my son's birthday...Yeah!...That's perfect, thanks!...bye." Leo hung up smiling. "Andrew said he can help."

"Good." Karai said, laying a mushroom pepperoni pizza on the table. "How 'bout go and get Kris?" Leo nodded and walked outside to see his son practicing a highly advanced and complex kata. He watched in amazement as the almost-nine-year old preformed the kata perfectly. He applauded after Kris finished. Kris whirled around.

"How long have you been there?" He asked.

"Long enough," Leo said. "To see you do a kata perfectly that no one else could have done at your age."

Me: So Kris can do a kata perfectly that no other person (or turtle!) could ever do at his age. 0-0 Amazing. Leo, you have one amazing son.

Leo: Um...this is just fanfiction. I'm only fifteen. In this story I'm...how old?

Me: 30 leader boy, 30.

Leo: Wow.

Me: 30's not that old. Now 60, 60's old.

Leo: Not really. Not when your 80.

Me: Hm...true dat. XD R&R people! Let me know what ya think!

Leo: Wait, since when are you and Casey best friends?

Casey: Since elementary school, seriously don't you read?

Me: Times have changed, Leo. See you guys later!
