a/n: The turtles transferred to William McKinley High School in Ohio and Splinter forces them to join the New Directions. Involves my o/c Samie. Based on 2k12 of the turtles. The word for this chapter is ignorance. Enjoy! :)
Chapter 1
Donatello and Samantha were in the lab granted they were half asleep and pretty much just dead on their feet. It was late at night sometime between midnight and 1am so they were the only ones that were even still awake. Don sleepily laid his head down on the desk and nearly fell asleep until his head hit against the desk. He sat up abruptly shaking his head. "No can't fall asleep." He said.
"Maybe I can help you." Samie smiled at her twin. She took his arm in his and pinched it really hard.
"OWW! All that done was hurt me." Don complained rubbing his forearm.
"Woke you up though didn't it." Sam laughed with a yawn. Don grabbed her arm and pinched her back. Soon enough the two were rolling around on the floor fighting.
During the fight they woke everyone else up and nobody noticed that they had knocked chemicals off of the desk. It splashed on all of them while mixing together as they flew through the air. "It burns!" Mikey said, overreacting as usual.
"No it isn't Mikey." Leo reassured him stopping him from running laps around the lab potentially spilling more chemicals.
"Guys this is bad." Don said, picking himself up off of the floor. "Those chemicals weren't supposed to be mixed together, there is no telling what the consequences of this are." He was now helping Sam to her feet.
"Right so you two fighting like that was all in the name of science?" Raphael asked sarcastically. The twins threw him daggers not liking his accusation. Splinter walked in also hearing the commotion.
"What is going on in here?" He asked lifting his feet from standing in the mixed chemicals. "Clean this mess up and then all of you will go to bed." He instructed, met by a satisfying chorus of 'Hai sensei' Splinter left them to clean up their mess.
The next morning Leo woke up and made his way into the bathroom. He looked up to the mirror and seen a face that looked strange to him. It was human with pale skin and hair so dark that it almost looked blue. He screamed at the top of his lungs. Then looked down he was completely naked! He smiled when he seen his six pack though and silently thanked his father as Donatello rushed into the bathroom. "Dude who the shell are you?" He asked not recognising the brown haired teen staring right at him.
"Leo, is that you. It's me Donnie." He said.
"Okay wake the others give them something to wear and call a meeting in the lab until we discuss what happened to us." He ordered. Nodding Don left. "You might want to put on some clothes before you do that." Leo suggested. Don looked down and went to his own room and found some clothes that he had been saving for when they had to disguise themselves. He looked down at himself and seen skin that looked bronzed and he was well toned down to years of training under splinter. Don then looked at his face. He definitely needed braces, but his face was surrounded by a mass of thick brown hair that was really messy due to having just woken up. He pulled on the green T-shirt that had a picture of a meteor hitting a T-rex on it in purple and a pair of combat jeans that really just made it hard to move around. He decided to fasten is belt around his waist and strap on the hold for staff. "First stop payback for all those times Samie woke me up with a blow horn in my ear." He said to himself.
He snuck into Samie's room. He never turned on the light or even bother to knock. He re-set the alarm clock for a minute from then and turned it on. He waited anxiously for a few seconds and then it went off Sam nearly went rolling off of her bed with the abrupt wakening she experienced because of it. "Donnie, I know that was you. You are the only one that knows how to do that." She said.
"Relax sis and you might wanna change into some proper clothes. We are human now." He stated. Sam slowly peered down at her body still covering herself with the blankets. She couldn't look very far for all of the obvious reasons.
"Can you get out now while I find some clothes to wear. And man, D you look weird without your mask." Don felt his face and realised that in all of the excitement he had forgotten to put it on. He rushed back to his own bedroom in the hopes to put it on before anyone else seen him without it. Luckily for him nobody did as apart from Leo everyone else was asleep and Sam was getting dressed in her bedroom. She managed to find a yellow summer dress and as it was still summer there wasn't much of a problem with her wearing it. She realised by looking in her mirror that her and Donnie looked more alike than they had noticed. She had the same skin tone and was just as tall and had the same eyes, which they already knew, same wonky teeth, but she wasn't as bad and the exact same hair colour, thick and brown. Sam finally found shoes that April had left behind and put them on. She would ask her later if it was alright to wear them. Sam tied her mask on her eyes, but decided that it ruined the look and put it around her ponytail before putting on the rest of her gear and going to meet Don.
Leo was still trying to find an outfit that matched. He eventually found a pair of blue jeans and a blue vest top to put over the top of it. Then he got a blue zipper that he always wore when he got cold and put it on before tying his mask around his head, like he had done every morning since his father gave it to him. He then found his belt and sheaths and put them on before grabbing his swords and putting them in their sheaths. There was something about carrying his swords that made him feel slightly more like himself other than the human that now stared at him in the mirror. He checked his hair. It was now in a tidy kind of mess he used some of the glass of water on his nightstand to gel it back. He left his room to tackle waking up Raphael.
He snuck in and turned on the light. He was a heavy sleeper so it didn't really matter. Leo shook him. "Raph wake up and put on some clothes. Then go and meet the others in the lab." Leo said. Raph grumbled as Leo let him go. He opened his eyes. His eyes widened as a mirror was forced infront of his face. The human face staring back at him was just as shocked as he was. The average skin tone and bronze coloured hair was in perfect contrast with his bright green eyes. He looked down and seen his muscles and smiled thinking that hours of training had paid off for him. "Can you leave before you see my junk?" Raph asked. Leo nodded and left Raph alone to get dressed. He managed to find a pair of jeans and a plain red T-shirt a put a hoodie on over the top of it. He just left his hair in its mess. And tied on his belt and put his sai in their proper place before bringing down his hood and
"Hey Leo is everyone else up?" Raph asked when he seen him outside of Mikey's room.
"Just Mikey and Splinter left to wake up. You wanna help?" He asked. Raph nodded and clumsily cracked his knuckles.
"You bet I do." He said and the pair walked into Michelangelo's messy bedroom. It was a mission for the two of them not hurt their bare feet. Raph managed to find the bed in between the pizza boxes and other junk that was lying around. Leo found the mirror as Raph shook the baby of the family. Mikey woke up and ran his now five fingered hand down his face, completely missing the fact that his hands were now human. "AHHH! Who are you?" He screamed not recognising his brothers.
"Relax Mikey, its just us. Leo and Raph." Leo reassured him.
"Wait your human now?" Mikey asked.
"Not just us Mikey. Look at your reflection." Leo said handing him the mirror. Mikey seen a human boy with blonde curly hair and freckles lining his face. He seen for the first time his actual nose. He touched his face.
"It looks so weird." He said to himself.
"Find something to wear and come down into the lab we will wake master Splinter as soon as we know what is going on." Leo said. Raph and Leo left the room to let Mikey get changed.
He stood up and looked down his body instead of a plastron he seen pale skin with a six pack. He was thankful for his collection of human underwear as he pulled on a pair of boxers. He then searched through the no longer useless wardrobe full of clothes that they normally save for the winter. He found an orange and yellow T-shirt and a pair of orange cargo shorts. He tied his belt around his waist and spun his nunchucks around until he was sure that they still worked and put them in the belt before tying his mask around his head. He looked pretty cool as far as he was concerned.
The five teenagers all met up in the lab. "It's half past seven in the morning now. Can you please tell me what we are doing?" Raph asked.
"We need to make sure that our systems are all in tact. And that those chemicals that spilled on us didn't make the mutagen in our systems unstable." Donatello explained clumsily typing on the computer. His finger slipped and he hit the wrong key. "Damnit." He swore hitting the desk in frustration. "I guess we need to get used to having five fingers instead of three." He said to the others.
"Guys keep it down we don't want to wake sensei before breakfast." Leo suggested.
"Sorry Leo, not used to being a human just yet." Don answered back. "It doesn't look like they done anything harmful to our systems, but I think we all need to be examined just to be sure." He said reading off of the screens.
"I will do that after training." Sam suggested. "I think that it would be best for us to get used to these bodies it is the only way that we can get out." The others looked at her.
"What do you mean get out?" Raph asked her suspiciously.
Meanwhile in his bedroom Splinter woke up and immediately felt different. He lifted his hand up and seen that he was once again human. He ran to the first reflective surface he could find and seen that he was no longer a rat. "Human again, but how?" He said aloud. He thought for a moment. "Samantha and Donatello are bound to know how this happened." He said. Even Hamato Yoshi failed to realise that it was because he stood in the chemicals that mixed together on the floor. He walked toward the lab to see if they were up already.
"What do you mean get out?" He heard Raphael ask through the door.
'Good they are up.' He thought to himself. He opened the door. "Get out of what?" He asked them and then looked twice at who was in the room. "What happened to my children?" He asked not realising that his children were right in front of him.
"Sensei it's us." Raph said looking at him. They all recognised him from the pictures of himself as a human that he kept in the dojo.
"Daddy. Please you have to believe us." Sam said. Yoshi looked directly into his daughter's eyes.
"Hime?" He asked. Sam nodded. "Is that you?" He looked at the others and seen the resemblance to the turtles. "Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo. You are all human?" He felt as though his heart was about to explode he was filled with so much joy. He pulled his five children into a hug. "I love all five of you no matter what happens now." He said. "Now what exactly were you speaking about before I walked in?" He asked.
"Sam thinks that we have to get out of something." Raph said pointing at his sister.
"First off, don't point its rude. Second this is the perfect opportunity for us to get away from New York, and away from being hunted by the Shredder and the Kraang and anyone else who wants to hurt us. This is the one chance we get at being normal teenagers. Are we ready to take that chance?" She asked her family. They all nodded.
A week later they were ready to leave and Splinter had found a job teaching in a small town in Ohio. So they were leaving New York. It wasn't easy for them to leave behind their home and all of the friends they had made. So before they left everyone that knew them came to the lair and threw a massive party for them. Splinter made them wear green ninja gear with their favourite colours on the piping. He said it made them look sophisticated. Being fifteen they never agreed to that. They managed to find a quiet spot outside of the party. "I wonder what it's going to be like in Lima?" Raph asked his siblings as they sat on the turnstiles that served as the entrance to their home for fifteen years. "I want to know what our school is going to be like." Mikey asked.
"William McKinley High School sounds okay, a little lame but it is only a small town." Leo added. "Its going to be so weird living in another place. Not being here in New York City."
"You know what guys, at least we can say that we not only took a bite out of the big apple, but we saved it from evil squishy brain aliens." Sam said.
"She's right no matter what happens we need to promise that not only will we make the best out of things but we always stay together while doing it." Don added. April came out with her camera.
"Hey guys can I take your picture I want to remember my best friends and my Boyfriend when you leave for Ohio." She said. They all stood together in a line with their arms over each other as April took their picture.
Casey came running out. "Samantha Hamato, I really want to ask you something." He said looking into her eyes. "Ever since the first second I seen you, although I was really creeped out by the fact that you were a mutant. I thought that you were pretty cool and I have really gotten to know you better since then on all of our missions. At first I was confused I liked April and I liked you too. Then as we did get to know each other I realised that you were the only girl for me. Samie I really want you to dance with me and then maybe you can kiss me?" He asked not sure how she was going to react at first. She stepped forward.
"Casey Jones, I didn't think I would ever say this about you but that has to be one of the sweetest most romantic things I have ever seen. And the first time anyone has ever given me that kind of attention. I would be honoured to dance with you." She smiled at him. He led her into the dojo where everyone else was dancing. It was perfect for both of them. And at the end of the song they kissed and everyone cheered them on.
"I'm gonna miss you Samie. You are the one that I love." He said deliberately quoting the line from a song in her favourite movie. They kissed again and in that moment everything was perfect. There was no more fitting with rival ninja clans, no more protecting the planet from invading aliens or even mutants that were walking the streets and seemed to hate them for some reason. It was officially their lives and they were going to take advantage of every second.
a/n: First chapter finished. I have college tomorrow and it is pretty late so I am going to try and get some shut eye so I don't wake up too late and end up running around like a headless chicken.
