Just a little story I wrote long ago when I wondered if the guys ever dreamed of going to High School. All Chapters are short. Enjoy.

Ch 1 What If...

Leo laid in his bed attempting to sleep. The day's events weighed heavily on his mind and the thought of Karai betraying them the way she did made his heart ache worse then before. After several minutes of tossing and turning, he got up and decided to go to the kitchen and get a snack. When he got there, he was surprise to see his three brothers still up and sitting around the table talking about the days events.

"What's going on?" He asked them walking over to the refrigerator, he opened it and looked inside trying to find a snack.

"Mikey won't let up about what happened today." Donnie told him, taking a bite of his pizza.

"What about it?" Leo asked, looking at his brothers rather hotly. "I said I was sorry." He closed the fridge after grabbing an apple.

His three brothers looked at him curiously before going back to their snacks. "This has nothing to do with you keeping Karai a secret." Raph told him.

"Then what? Is this about the Kraang?" He asked as he sat down in his designated seat at the kitchen table. "We dealt with them, their building went up in smoke." He said confidently. He took a bite of his apple.

"No, not the Kraang either." Mikey sighed, rather tiredly. "I was just thinking about how much fun it would be to go to high school."

"I don't think it would be that great Mikey." Raph told him. "You have to get up early."

"I like getting up early." Leo told him."

"All that studying you have to do." Raph continued.

"I like studying." Donnie replied.

Raph huff. "And you have to deal with all the teachers, students and all those extra things you have to be a part of like clubs or sports or..."

"I would be great at sports and clubs!" Mikey exclaimed. "I can just see it now." Mikey got a far away look in his eyes. "Leo, you would be president of the student body. Make all kinds of great decisions that would benefit the school! Donnie, I can see you being in charge of the science club, maybe even be valedictorian!" Mikey was almost bouncing in his chair. "And Raph, you would be captain of the football team! I can see you making all kinds of goals and taking the school all the way to the championship!" Mikey took a deep breath. "And I would take track and get all kinds of medals and trophies, maybe even be a part of a bunch of different clubs and meet all sorts of really neat people, like celebrities, and get girls and go to dances and the prom." He purred as he sat back down and placed his head in his hands. "That would be so great. I really wish we could go to school."

"Well keep dreaming Mikey." Raph told him. "It's a nice thought but it will never happen."

"Yeah, but it would be awesome." Donnie said and the others nodded in agreement.

The boys finished their snacks and after saying goodnight, went to bed.
