Gah! I didn't want to make a new account, but my other one hated me! Anyways, I hope no one was waiting for me... (except for you, prangersturtles!) Oh, yeah! Shout out! Thanks for not giving up on me! Anyways, on with the story.


Leo was in his room, thinking about his relationship with his Sensei. He'd heard his brothers say something about it snowing outside, but he wasn't in the mood to go topside right then.

Suddenly, a knock came from the other side of his door. "What?"

Mikey's voice rang out. "Do you wanna build a snowman?

Come on, let's go topside!

We never see you anymore, come out the door.

It's like you've gone away!

You used to be fun-loving, but now you're not.

I wish you would tell us why.

Do you wanna build a snowman?

It could even be a turtle."

Leo growled. "Go away, Mike." Mike lowered his head. "Okay, bye." With that, he walked away.

A few minutes later, another knock came. Leo silently sighed. "Is that you again, Mikey?"

This time, though, Don's voice rang out. "Do you wanna build a snowman?

Or go ride on the Shell Cycles?

I think some company is overdue.

I've started talking science with Raphie!"

Raph's distant voice rang out. "Don't call me that!"

Don smiled a bit before focusing back on Leo."It's getting kind of lonely, the empty training room.

Doing katas again and again!" He made snoring noises.

When he got no response, he sadly walked away.

They were growing desperate, so they sent Raph over. He didn't even knock."Leo, please, I know yer in there.

Mikey's been askin' where ya've been.

He says have control, and I'm trying to.

We're right out here for ya.

Just let us in.

We only have each other, with Sensei gone.

What're we gonna do?" He let a tear roll down his cheek.

"Do you wanna build a snowman?" This time, he let out a sob.

Leo heard this and opened his door. "Raph?" He saw Raph on the ground, sobbing. "Raph, what's wrong?"

Raph looked up at Leo. "What's wrong? Maybe, oh, I dunno, the fact that you haven't come out of yer room in days? We've been tryin' to get'cha outta yer room for DAYS now."

Leo looked at the ground. "It's my fault." Raph stared at him. "What is?"

Leo looked back up, glossy eyed. "It's my fault Sensei's dead! If I'd been on my guard, the Shredder wouldn't've snuck up on me, and Sensei wouldn't've had to take a hit for me!"

He sank down to his knees, but Raph pulled him back up. "Whoa, there. Easy, bro. No one is at fault, especially you. We'd all be dead by now if it weren't fer ya. You are an amazing brother and leader, and don't let anythin' happen to make you not think that."

Leo smiled a little. "Thanks, Raph." Raph smiled a bit as he pulled Leo into a hug. "Okay, so that's settled. Now, will you please come out of yer room for a bit?" Leo pulled out of the hug and smiled bigger.

"How about we build a snow turtle?" Raph smiled a little as he ran off to get their snow clothes and Leo got their brothers.

And they went to build a snow turtle.


Well? I may do a better version of this if y'all want. Review, positive or not! AND I NEED SUGGESTIONS! I'll get writer's block without them!
