By very popular demand, I am starting a Frozen AU! I'm not gonna do the Frozen Heart song because... I don't know how... :/ Please don't give me suggestions; I will not change my mind about that. But otherwise, here we are, and I hope you like it! :)
Somewhere in New York City back a long, long time ago, a young turtle slept in his bed. His leaf-green skin was almost completely covered in blankets, and he was at peace. Outside of his window, the Northern Lights went off.
"Leo!"
He awakened, but didn't react, keeping his eyes closed and not flinching. Maybe if he ignored her, she'd go away...
"Psst!" More weight was placed on his bed, and he shifted as two small hands pushed on his shoulders. "Leo! Wake up wake up!"
"April..." he moaned, although he couldn't suppress his smile. "Go back to sleep..."
The four-year-old flopped over on top of his shell, making him flinch. "I just can't! The sky's awake, so I'm awake! So we have to play!"
"Go play by yourself!" Leo exclaimed with a smile, pushing her off lightly, safe with the knowledge that she wouldn't be hurt in the fall on their soft floors, and laying back down.
The redhead bit her lip, thinking. She perked up and climbed back on Leonardo's bed, opening one of his unmasked eyes. "Do you wanna build a snowman?"
Leo opened his eyes and smiled.
About a minute later, they were running down one of the many flights of stairs of the castle into the ballroom.
"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!" April exclaimed happily as Leo tried to shush her while choking back violent giggles of her own. They arrived to the room and Leo closed the door as to not awaken their parents.
"Do the magic! Do the magic!" the red-haired girl smiled. Leo gestured her closer, and then started waving his hands around right in front of his plastron underneath his blue nightshirt. April stared at the blue glitter-looking substance as it formed into a snowball. "Oooh," she cooed, looking at it as if hypnotized.
Leo sent the snowball into the air, and it exploded, sending the snow all over the ballroom.
"This is amazing!" April exclaimed happily, jumping around.
"Watch this!" Leo said. With his bare feet, he stomped on the ground, and April slid a bit on the ice that suddenly covered it. She giggled.
Within a few minutes, the whole floor was completely covered in snow. Leo and April were rolling snowballs around. April picked her smaller one u and struggled to put it on top of Leo's. They both giggled.
April sat in a chair as Leo perfected his snowturtle, per April's request. He turned it around, and April gasped in delight. It was standing on legless, three-toed feet, and Leo had even given it a plastron. The head had a big smile in it and no nose, and Leo had pushed a bit of the snow in on the cheeks to make freckles. He put twigs from the fireplace in the sides and waved them around as he made his voice a bit lighter.
"Hi! I'm Mikey, and I like warm hugs! And pizza!" he exclaimed; their favorite food was pizza, hands down.
April jumped up and hugged the turtle, which, thanks to Leo's powers, didn't fall apart. "I love you, Mikey!" she squealed happily.
They skated around a bit, Leo shell-to-snow-shell with Mikey as April held his twig hands.
They slid down a mountain of snow that Leo quickly conjured. Once they were at the bottom April jumped onto another snow-pile that Leo immediately supplied. "Hang on," Leo warned halfheartedly with a smile; they'd done this tons of times.
April jumped again and Leo caught her. She smiled and jumped quicker; her elder brother was getting good at this. "Again!"
"Wait!" Leo warned, smile immediately disappearing as he narrowly caught his little sister.
"Whoo-hoo!" April exclaimed, not hearing him.
"Slow down!"
Leo slipped on the ice he'd created and fell. April was in midair. "April!" he cried desperately, shooting a blast of power without having time to aim.
"Oh!" April cried as it struck her head. She fell to the ground, thankfully rolling down a snow-pile first. Leo gasped in shock and pain.
He ran over. "April!" He fell to his knees beside her and picked her head up. "April!" he cried, silently sobbing. He watched as a streak of her hair turned a pale sandy color. "Mother, father!" he called desperately, sobbing hysterically. He curled around April protectively, hardly noticing as another layer of meaner-looking ice spread throughout the room, up the walls and supports.
"You're OK, April," he sobbed, "I've got you."
The doors were pushed against, then again, and they opened. A brown-and-black-furred rat with a nightshirt on and a woman with black, flowing hair and smooth Japanese skin ran in. They took half a second to survey the damage their son had caused as they ran over.
"Leonardo, what have you done?" King Yoshi asked quietly in a thick Japanese accent.
"It was an accident," Leo sobbed, new tears forming in his eyes fro his father's harsh tone. "I'm so sorry, April."
Queen Shen picked up her daughter. "She's ice cold," she gasped in his light voice.
"I know where we must go," Splinter decided. He grabbed a map from a book from the library and saddled the horses quickly. He held the unconscious April as Leo held on tightly to Tang Shen. A trail of ice followed their horse as they ran through the forest.
They were in too much of a rush to notice another little turtle riding on a sled with a tortoise-sized purple and red-ish turtle pulling him. The duo looked at the ground. "Ice?" the little ice-collector asked from where he sat on a little ice-block, following the actual ice-collectors. He hopped on Chompy's back and the surprisingly fast turtle ran after them. "Go, Chompy!" he encouraged, and his turtle panted happily as he followed.
There! Please, PLEASE don't get mad at me, anyone, for making Leo, who is most definitely a guy in this story still, Elsa, who is a girl in the movie. It's ME. He HAS to be the main character. Or one of the main characters, anyway. ^^; ANYWHO. Who liked this prologue? Huh? I'm sorry I took this long after my poll; I was busy. And I have 2 tests tomorrow that I am NOT ready for. :/ Please, though, review! Tell me what you think! :D BYE!
