Sequel to A Great Change, which can be found on my page thingy. YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ!!! This one is not as long as that one. Please enjoy and review. Thanks
'It's been five years to this day since our transformation from turtles to humans. Quite a bit has happened since then. Leonardo has married the love of his life, Crystal. Raphael was his best man. The wedding was quiet, but it had been one of the most moving times in the whole of my life. Crystal and Leonardo are perfect for each other and I envy Leonardo for finding his soul mate.
As I envy Michelangelo. He and Tina are still going strong, and they become closer with every passing day.
It is just me and Raphael that lives in the lair now with Master Splinter. Raphael could move out if he wanted to, though, because he owns a small flat which he uses to have 'fun' with the many ladies he meets.
It isn't so far from the Tattoo Palace where Raphael works. He has completed his training now and is a professional tattoo artist. I remember Raphael being so proud of himself when he come home after tattooing his first person. He had wanted me to get another tattoo, but I refused. Instead, I let him decorate my room with his wild designs.
Michelangelo, it turns out, is better at cooking then just pizza. He is a brilliant chief and now is the top chief at a 4 star restaurant. His dream is to own his own restaurant but he has to gather up some money before that dream becomes a reality. Michelangelo's best dish is still pizza, though. People came from all over America just to taste his mouth watering pepperoni pizza. The reviews say that it is the most unique version of a classic favourite there ever was.
What I love about it is that I can have the pizza for free and not move from my own sofa. I just get Michelangelo to come over here and cook it.
Tina knows about out past now. She found out about two years ago. She took it quite well, to be honest. She only screamed for about ten minuets when she met Master Splinter and then just laughed for the rest of it. I believe it was shock.
Leonardo still works at the fitness centre. He has set up his own martial arts lessons. He teaches young children how to defend themselves against the dark world of New York. It is quite popular throughout the young people of New York itself, and Leonardo enjoys teaching it.
And me, well, I now work in a laboratory. Developing phones and hi-tech was fun, bit it was just too easy. I need a bigger challenge. In the lab we do all kinds of experiments. We do things for health and care, genetic plants and all kinds of things that will one day benefit the people of the world. It doesn't involve any animal testing. Some people think that it does, but I can ensure you that it doesn't.
I still invent things. Nothing in the world could stop me and my inventions. I have built Raphael a new bike and Michelangelo and Leonardo a car each. The Battle Shell is better then ever. It looks great and has more features then ever before. We still go on missions in the Battle Shell, but these days are getting fewer and fewer. We practise twice a week and Sensei tries to get us to meditate every day. Leonardo stays loyal and comes around early every morning to meditate with Splinter. It is harder, though, to get me, Raphael and Michelangelo to stay to this task. But then again, it always has been.
I must also mention Casey and April. They have a daughter now. Shadow is two years old now and is the most adorable thing on this planet. Raphael and I were made God Parents. I felt so proud and honoured when April had asked me. I am quite sure Raphael had felt the same way when Casey asked him, but of course, he would never admit it'
Donatello smiled and laid down the pen. He yawned and stretched his arms behind his head. His blond hair fell over his blue eyes, which were surrounded by freckles, and he shook it away. He was trying to grow it to his shoulder. Raph had tensed him about it, but Donnie was determined. Raph and Mikey had always had long hair, and they had got the girls. So it might work for him.
"Master Splinter!" came a desperate call from the Lair's front door. Donnie frowned and ran out his room, which was very colourful with different pictures painted on the walls. Mikey was standing at the door, looking around and sweating. His ginger hair was sticking to his pale face and his freckles showed more then ever.
"Mikey? What's wrong?" Donnie asked, jumping down to him.
"Where's Master Splinter?" Mikey demanded.
"In the Dojo" Donnie told him. Mikey ran to the dojo.
"What's up with him?" Raph asked, coming out of the bathroom. His black and red hair was wet and even longer then normal when wet. It went just below his shoulder. Donnie shrugged and quickly followed Mikey with Raph at his heels.
"Master Splinter!" Mikey yelled going into the room, where Splinter and Leo were meditating. Leo had his eyes closed and his brown hair was kept off his face by his blue bandanna, which was tried around his forehead. His eyes snapped open, as did the Rat's.
"What is it, Michelangelo?" Splinter asked, standing up.
"It's Tina!" Mikey told him.
"What's wrong with Tina? Is she ok?" Leo asked, also standing up, worried. But Mikey didn't hear him. He kneeled in front of his father and looked up into his eyes.
"She's pregnant!" Mikey smiled. There was a silence, where everyone took this in. Mikey grinned at Splinter.
"You're going to be a Grandpa" A huge grin passed over Splinter's face.
"Michelangelo that is the best news I have heard for a long time" Mikey stood up and hugged his Sensei. Leo, Donnie and Raph let out a cheer.
"How far gone is she?" Donnie asked.
"About two months, we didn't want to tell anyone until we know it was true" Mikey explained, pushing his ginger hair off his excited face.
"That's brilliant" Raph smiled. He was still damp from his shower, with a white towel wrapped around his skinny body. His many tattoos were visible. His turtle on his arm, that each Leo, Donnie and Mikey had as well. The many pieces of Japanese script which were on his arms, his neck and on his leg. A weird pattern on his upper arm. A red and black motor bike that was mounted by a skeleton on his leg. He also had a Japanese blossom with Splinter's name underneath it. On his back was his biggest tattoo. It was of a dragon. It was coloured red, purple, blue and orange. It was a traditional Japanese dragon and it was very colourful. Leo disapproved of all these tattoos, and even them being on view like they were now was sending a fire in Leo's eyes.
Raph man-hugged Mikey, making him damp.
"Thanks, dude" Mikey smiled, shaking the water off his hands, "That's not all my news" Leo, Donnie, Raph and Splinter looked at him, encouraging him to continue with his news.
"We are going to get married" He smiled so big it was hard to believe it could fit on his face.
"Wow!" Donnie breathed, also smiling, happy for his baby brother.
"That is fantastic news, my son" Splinter smiled.
"Well done, bro" Raph said. Leo smiled.
"Congratulations!"
Mikey turned to Donnie.
"You'll be my best man, right?" he asked. Donnie seemed shocked and an even bigger smile filled his face.
"Wow!...Yeh, of course I will" Mikey and Donnie hugged and the whole room was full of happiness.
Well, that is the first chapter. Sorry if any of you are like Leo and disapprove of Raph's tattoos, but he does work at a tattoo parlour, so what do you expect.
Any ways, what do you think? Good? Bad? Tell me and I'll love you forever. Flames welcome, but nothing too cruel please.
Lots of love and kisses and, of course, hugs Nukagirl
