A/N: Yes, I am supposed to be writing my hobbit story, but I'm being lazy and I have no inspiration for it now. Besides I'm in a NINJA MOOD! I've actually had this written for sometime already, but I haven't put it in here before, because it's not ready yet. But, well, maybe putting the first chapter will give me motivation to write the next one. Let's at least hope so.

Leonardo had just cleared one of today's katas. He was pretty much ready to go to sleep as he walked over to his two brothers watching TV. They had some kind of movie marathon and of course, a lot of junk food. For Raph and Mikey not being the cleanest turtles in the lair, the floor was full of popcorn, spilled soda, different colors of candies and who knows what. Leo wrinkled his nose to the mess. He surely wished it would be gone when he woke up, but his hopes weren't too high. A yawn escaped from Leo's mouth as he started to climb up the stairs.

"Hey that's mine!"

"Finders keepers, Raphie boy", Mikey said cheerfully, clearly the last piece of pizza on his hand.

Leo shook his head to the scene of Raph trying to take the piece from Mikey, while Mikey was avoiding Raph's hands every way he could. Soon Donny's voice joined the ruckus.

"Could you guys quiet down a bit? I'm trying to concentrate here!"

"Tell that to Mikey! He's the one who's askin' for it!"

That's all Leo could hear. He had continued his way to bedroom and fallen in sleep even before his head could touch the pillow. Though he did see some weird dream about Mikey blaming Raph for eating his pizza and claiming that Leo needed to buy him a new one or else he would bake Leo in a pizza. Luckily he didn't remember the dream in the morning. Otherwise he might have left done what he did.

Leo woke early in the morning. From the sounds (or the lack of them), he guessed he was the first one up. Well, up and to work. He went to kitchen to get something to eat and after that he went to practice the kata he had learned yesterday. Leo was so focused on the training that he didn't even notice his brother coming down the stairs.

"Do ya ever rest?"

"Morning Raph", Leo answered to his brother but got only a wave of a hand as an answer as Raph headed to the kitchen. Soon Donny accompanied Raph and after they had eaten, they came to practice with Leo. He started to show to his two brothers how you did the kata, though Raph did mention that "he ain't needin' help from the fearless".

After two hours of intense practice Raph had almost mastered the kata and Donny wasn't much behind him. At the time Donny asked for a little pause, Leo noticed something was missing. He thought about it for a moment. Master Splinter had come to see how their practices were going on before he had retired back to his room to meditate, Klunk was sleeping happily on the couch and… Mikey! Where was their nutcase brother? Leo realized he hadn't seen the orange wearing turtle for the whole morning. He decided to go to check what the shell Mikey was doing while the others were taking a break.

When Leo got to Mikey's room he couldn't believe his eyes. How was it even possible to fit this much stuff in one room? It looked even worse than the living room had looked last night! (For Leo's relief the living room had actually been cleaned up after the movie marathon, but he was pretty sure Mikey had nothing to do with it.)

Besides Mikey's usual stuffs like DVDs, play consoles, comic books, CDs etc. there were pieces of food here and there. Though the only 'green food' he could see, was round grassy disc-like thing on a box and Leo was afraid that it was actually a three month old pizza. And that wasn't even the worst of it. The room smelled like something had died in there! The old pizza Leo saw wasn't probably the only one of its kind or even the oldest one. And in the middle of everything was happily sleeping Michelangelo.

Leo made his way to his sleeping brother and thought every cruel way he could, to wake him up, but decided that it wasn't the way he wanted to deal with it. It would be… too Mikey-like.

"Michelangelo", he said carefully, but got no response. "Michelangelo! MIKEY!" Finally his doofus brother woke up and noticed him. "How long were you planning to sleep, if I may ask?"

"Hey, a turtle needs his beauty sleep", Mikey answered and gave a big yawn.

"Well, me, Raph and Don have been practicing the whole morning, without you. So what if you drag your shell downstairs and accompany us. And it was not a question", Leo said firmly as Mikey got up from his bed. "When did you last time clean your room?" He then asked looking around them.

"Yeah, yeah, little boss, just give me couple minutes. And are you trying to say that there's something wrong with my room?" Mikey asked a little offended.

"Little boss?" Was Mikey trying to mock him?

"Yeah, master's the big boss so you're the little boss", Mikey answered smiling widely. Nope, no mocking, just trying to be clever.

"Fine, whatever. I'm expecting to see you doing the kata in five minutes."

Leo left Mikey's room shaking his head. Sooner or later he would probably need to talk to Mikey more about hygiene, rather sooner. Downstairs the other two were done with their break and ready to continue practicing. Leo thought that it was time to show them the next kata.

After fifteen minutes, Mikey finally showed up. Leo definitely wasn't happy with this. He was about to give a lecture to his brother, but the turtle in question rushed past him right in the kitchen. Couple more minutes and Mikey came back with a pile of pizza pieces. Was he seriously going to eat those for breakfast? All three of them stared at the goofball turtle disbelieving.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" Mikey asked touching his face with his free hand and of course smudged it with cheese.

"No, just somethin' weird between yer shoulders", Raph answered as he and Donny got back to the kata they were doing. Mikey showed his tongue at his red wearing brother's back.

"Don't you think those are a bit unhealthy for breakfast?" Leo asked as he walked to Mikey who had already stuffed three pieces in his mouth.

"Don't listen to him! Papa loves you guys as you are!" Mikey covered his pizza pieces protecting them apparently from Leo's mean words. Then he just walked away from Leo and started to practice the kata on hand. After counting to ten, Leo could relax a bit and be sure he wouldn't beat his brother up for disrespecting behavior and not obeying his orders. He really needed to put him in order for he had been slacking off for too long.

Raph and Don were just about to change in the weapon practice when Leo was going to talk with Mikey.

"Hey, what's this stuff?" Raph asked surprised. He was holding his sai on his palm and it looked like there was something sticky on it. Raph observed his sai a little closer, even smelled it and there was only one conclusion: "cheese. Mikey!"

"Oops, sorry Raph, I may have lowered my pizza on it for a moment."

To no one's surprise, Raph started to run towards Michelangelo who tried to escape from his hot headed brother. Leo wasn't in a mood of watching this so he stepped forward to stop the fight before someone (that probably being Mikey) was hurt. Already the first step was mistake, since immediately he put his foot back on the floor, he felt something under the foot and slipped on it. At the same time Mikey had tried to jump through a ring that was part of Don's new invention that was supposed to help them practice the right timing of their jumps (or something like that anyway, Leo wasn't really sure since Don had talked in nerd and Leo wasn't very good at it). But Mikey's jump didn't make through the ring, actually it stopped on his waist, he was stuck.

Don helped Leo up as Raph tried to get Mikey out of the ring (after giving more than enough punches of course, the situation was too good to be true for Raphael). Leo looked what he had stepped on, though he kind of knew it before seeing it. Raph got finally Mikey off of the ring and when the orange cladded turtle saw what Leo had under his foot, he ran to him and took his 'baby' away from Leo.

"My baby, did the mean Leo put his oversized foot on you? Don't you worry, papa's here for you! Watch where you step, Leo!" Leo could feel how something popped in his head.

"What exactly was it doing on the floor, Mikey?" Donny asked from his brother who was still lulling his squashed pizza piece.

"Oh, well, I might have forgotten it there yesterday."

None of the three brothers noticed how veins were throbbing on their usually calm leader's head and how his hands were on tight fists. Not until Leo let it out.

"That's it! I've had enough of this Michelangelo! You're banned from pizza!" He yelled as hard as he could.

"What?" Mikey asked in a peeping voice. He was so startled from Leo's sudden yell that he wasn't sure if he had heard him right.

"You heard me! No pizza for you!" And with that Leo left to the sewers leaving his still a little shocked brothers (and father who definitely had heard him, but decided not to butt in, at least not yet) to stare after him.
