Getting their Spirit On, Part 1

Third Person P.O.V.

It was a regular day for the citizens of Animal City. Over at the turtles' dorm, Po and Tigress were visiting the turtles. Only Raph, Leo and Mikey were around while Splinter and Dannie were out. Donnie was in his lab fiddling with Laptrap. Raph and Tigress were training in the dojo while Leo, Mikey, and Po were playing video games.

"Come on, show me what you got Po!"

"You got no ground."

"I'll show you how the Dragon Warrior gets the job done!"

They were in a heated competition in their video game: Mikey was in 1st place with 25,000 points, Leo was 2nd with 20,000, and Po was 3rd with 17,650 points. That was just the game getting started.

As for Tigress and Raph, they were sparring and neither was going easy on their opponent. Raph managed to blindside her by tripping her up and following up by tossing her over his shoulder.

"You'll have to be faster than that if you wanna be me, sweetheart."

She then followed up with a leg sweep when he turned around and wrapped her legs around his neck.

"You have such an ego Raph, it's actually kind of cute. But just because i like you, doesn't mean I've been going easy on you."

"I have an ego?"

He and Tigress wrestled as they rolled around and Raph got pinned down when Tigress pulled on one of his legs.

"Gah! Let go!"

"Not until i hear it. Only then, will i let you go."

"No way!"

She then tightened up the pressure and made Raph scream more.

"Well?"

"Nope, I'm not... gonna say it."

She tightened the pressure even more.

"(screams) Okay, okay. You are a better fighter and always will be."

"That's right, and don't forget it."

She let go of his leg and he winced in pain. She then whispered in his ear.

"Looking forward to our next fight."

She then snuck a kiss on him, since nobody was watching. He blushed a little and had a surprised look on his face.

"Don't give me that face, you know by now i only do so if we're alone."

(screams)

Raph and Tigress ran out and saw Mikey against the TV all sad, Leo sitting with a jealous face and Po doing a victory dance.

"Let me guess, Mikey lost."

"And Po won." Tigress added

"You betcha. Nobody can best the Dragon Warrior."

"Oh yeah? Best 2 out of 3." Leo challenged and the 3 of them went for a rematch. Raph and Tigress went into the kitchen to get some water. Raph gave her a water bottle and then Tigress got a call on her phone.

"Who could that be?"

She then looked at her phone and answered it.

"Hey Serena."

Raph could hear Serena's voice, but couldn't make out the words on the other end.

"Uh-huh. What? Really? I wasn't exactly in the mood for Halloween last time."

When Raph heard 'Halloween', his curiosity piqued up.

"A theme? What theme?"

(indistinct chatter)

"Yeah, well i know the others will enjoy it but i don't know about myself."

(indistinct chatter)

"Yeah, I'll let you know how that goes. Bye."

"Don't-" was all Serena could say before Tigress hung up on her.

"What's this 'theme' you two were talking about?"

"You remember The Bash?"

"How can i forget? We took you guys there for the first time." He said with a smile on his face. Every now and then, the gang would make plans to the a nightclub for a hangout.

"Yeah, well Serena called and said that they're hosting a Halloween Bash for Halloween."

"How'd she know that?"

"Danny found a flyer downtown advertising about the party. He told her and the rest of the gang back at our dorm."

"Still not hearing the 'theme' part."

"The theme is to dress up as a hero or villain from Marvel or DC."

"Really?" He said with a smirk on his face.

"What's that in your voice?"

"What's what in my voice?"

"That mischievous tone. It was there for a second."

"I'm planning on going and telling the others as well."

"Knowing them, they'll go without a second thought." She said as she sat down next to Raph.

"We're all going!" He said and put an arm around her.

"What? I can't go. I'm still embarrassed about that Egyptian Queen costume from 2 years ago."

"I thought you looked cute in it." He said

"Haha, very funny."

"If anything, this time you'll look fierce. It's only fair, since you didn't go last year."

"Do i have to?"

"Oh yeah. I'm not taking no for an answer, we're going to the party."

"What party?"

They turned and saw Leo, Mikey, and Po standing behind them at the entrance to the kitchen.

"What are you two lovebirds talking about?"

"We were only talking about Halloween plans, nothing else." Raph defended.

"Right, and this party?"

"Serena and Danny found out that The Bash is having a Halloween party."

"Really?"

"Aw yeah, time to get our scare on."

"Hold up, they have this theme we have to follow: we have to dress up as a villain or hero from either DC or Marvel."

"Really?"

"You got a problem with that?"

"Who doesn't enjoy a good Marvel movie?" Tigress added.

"Well, there's something else we have in common."

"Now we know what we're doing for Halloween."

"You guys are seriously doing this?"

"At least this time, you can look awesome in a costume Tigress. It wouldn't kill you to have a little fun." Po said

"Hey, i was part of the cheerleading squad back in high school. That doesn't count as fun?"

"You only did the routines and that's that. You didn't do any fun practice or make up your own."

"Whatever."

"I'll tell Donnie what's what." Mikey said and left for Donnie's lab.

"I'll call Dannie, give him the heads up." Leo said

"So how exactly are we going to get costumes in time for the party?"

"I know of a place where we can get our costumes, and they can measure us to get the right size for our costumes."

"Awesome!"

"Okay, so we'll head down whenever any of us have time, get our costumes, and we'll meet up outside your dorm on Halloween."

"Right!" They agreed. Tigress grabbed her phone and water bottle and left with Po back to their dorm.

As for the turtles, they agreed to go the next day to get measured for their costumes. But first, they had to pick who they wanted be.
