Chapter 1: Happy Birthday

It was a sunny day in New York City.

People who weren't going to work were relax in the warm summer-like heat. In New York lived two types of people, the mutants and the humans. The mutants were humans mixed in with animal blood.

In a nice little house in the Queens neighbourhood of New York was a family of mutants.

The eldest mutant in this house was a mutant rat called Hamato Yoshi, though he sometimes went by his nickname Splinter. He was 50 years old with black, brown and white fur, a droopy white beard, whiskers, a pink tail and a pink nose.

Splinter sold insurance to make a living.

He wore a red kimono inside the house and when he went to work he wore a white shirt, red tie and black pants. The youngest person in this house was Splinter's youngest son Michelangelo, or just Mikey for short.

Mikey was a light green 15 mutant turtle with freckles and bright baby blue eyes.

He wore an orange surfer shirt and white shorts. Finally the last person in this house was Hamato Yoshi's eldest son Leonardo, or just Leo for short. Leo was 16 with a lean and muscular build, leaf green skin and sapphire blue eyes.

Leo wore a white shirt, blue shorts and a dark blue head-band around his head.

Everyone in the Hamato house hold were getting ready for their day. Hamato Yoshi was getting ready for work down at the office and his sons were getting ready for school.

Mikey went to a different school to Leo.

As he was trying to get ready for school Leo was also messaging one of his best friends Raphael, or just Raph for short, on the family computer. They were talking in a private chat room.

"Did u hear wat Karai said about my shirt? She said it was hideous." He posted.

"She wouldn't know how ta spell hideous." Raph replied back and Leo smiled. "Leonardo! Have you had any breakfast yet?" Splinter called down from his own bedroom.

"I'm not hungry." Leo called back, not taking his eyes off the screen.

"Not acceptable." Splinter said. "She's been weird to me ever since that day in health class last week." Leo posted. "Wat was the teacher talkin' about?" Raph asked.

"He was talking about sex and STDs." Leonardo replied.

Suddenly Splinter walked pass and put a breakfast bar by Leo's arm. "Ew, gross XP." Raph replied and Leo chuckled a bit. "OK, I got to go work. Happy birthday my son." Splinter smiled and hugged the eldest turtle.

Leo just smiled.

"Just come pick me up brat." He sent to Raph. "Who are you calling a brat?" Splinter asked with a frown when he saw what Leonardo had sent to his friend Raphael.

"Private." Leonardo glared.

"What you do online is not exactly private my son." Splinter smiled and walked away. "Michelangelo, don't you dare miss your bus again!" He called up the stairs before leaving.

"It wasn't my fault!" Mikey called back down from his room...


Soon Raph pulled up on Leo's driveway in his black convertible car.

Inside was Raph Williams and his and Leo's other best friend Donatello Clarks, or just Donnie or Don for short. Leonardo quickly climbed into the passenger seat and they drove to school.

Donnie was a mutated turtle with light brownish green skin.

Donnie also had a gap in between his teeth. He wore a purple shirt and brown pants. He was the tallest and thin with brown/red eyes. His quiet and shy nature gave him a more professional look, which came across as the strong silent type.

He was good with machines and had a talent for making new technology.

Raph was a Kelly green mutant turtle, with a goo green eye colour and was pure muscle from head to toe. There were scratches and chips on his shell like a lightening bolt shaped crack on the right corner of his plastron.

He was 'ruggedly handsome' as turtles go.

Raphael wore a black sleeveless shirt with a black leather jacket red leather pants. Both Raph and Donnie was 16. Leo was messaging some people he knew on his cell phone.

"Why does everyone think I should have a party? Turning 17 doesn't mean anything." He sighed.

"Are ya kidding? A party means presents, money, bling." Raph exclaimed. "Hey, if your mom moved out three months ago you wouldn't want a party either." Donnie pointed out.

"You that's not it, I don't care about that." Leo glared.

"I think we should do what we did fer ya 11th birthday." Raph suggested. "We just went to visit my Grandma up at the farm. The smell was so bad Donnie threw up." The blue eyed turtle.

"Did you guys hear Julie's pregnant?!" Donnie suddenly exclaimed.

"What?! Wait, how do you know that she moved to Florida last year." Leo asked. "Uh Clicksters." Raph laughed as if it was obvious. Clicksters was a social networking site that everyone in Leo's school had an account for.

Except for Leo...
