Heya all!
Hope you're getting ready for Christmas! Been pretty manic here, getting Christmas Shopping done, as well as working and playing hard! Already had my staff Christmas party and we're doing charity fun days! Hoping to raise some money for the less fortunate at this time of year!
Anyway, here's another chapter for you to enjoy!
Note: Kate and Sephie belong to my Dear friend Tyroth Darkstorm.
Chapter Two
Little did Michelangelo know, Kate was thinking of him back in Mutopia, the mutant city and sanctuary that was hidden under the city of Chicago.
The sandy coloured snake was laying on her bed looking at an album of memories from the days she and Michelangelo had had together with the Knights or with the Turtles and Mona.
"I always miss Michelangelo when he goes back to New York or when I have to return to Mutopia" she thought "I can't wait to see him again."
The last time she saw Michelangelo was in the summer, yet it seemed years away. Since the first time she spent time with the gang in New York, she felt like a child at Christmas when she was about to see them again, especially Michelangelo.
She turned a page in her album where it showed a selfie of her and Michelangelo on a beach near Coney Island.
They had gone down there around the 4th of July with the gang after dark, and even though the beach areas weren't as full as they would be in the day, it was still occupied as some people were letting off fireworks so they had hidden under a small pier.
It was a very hot night which couldn't have been more perfect for the mutants, being cold blooded, Kate sighed as she lay back on her bed.
Stuck to the wall next to her bed, there were photos of her and the Chicago Knights, as well as with the gang in New York, and she had a little section of her and Michelangelo together, and her heart skipped a beat as she looked at them
She then closed her eyes as the memories of the 4th of July night at the beach came to her.
Flashback
Kate sat comfortably on the sand as she watched the night sky from under the pier that she, the turtles, Mona, Tyroth, Sephie and the children were hiding under.
Tyroth was sitting cross legged with Sephie on his lap, Raphael had his legs in front of him and Mona was resting her head on his lap looking at the starry skies and Leonardo and Splinter were sitting quietly slightly away from the group in the lotus position having a bit of time to meditate which seemed perfect under the starry skies and it was quiet quiet apart from the noise of Coney Island not far away and the traffic in the city.
Pandora was building a little sandcastle with a bucket and spade where she was sitting with Kemeko crawling around with Freya and Loki and Sonia was helping her whilst Donatello and Michelangelo watched over them.
Kate smiled at how cute the children looked playing together, especially Sonia as she helped Pandora make her Sandcastle bigger.
"Look!" said Sonia "I can make a moat here!" she dug her fingers around the sandcastle "Or maybe a helter skelter! Like the one at the fair up there!"
"Yay!" said Pandora happily"Please do that Sonia!"
Watching the children, she wondered what it would be like to have some of her own, but she pushed the thought away as she thought of how busy a life it would be.
She had seen how busy Tyroth and Sephie got with their twins, and she was sure that Mona and Raphael had their hands full with Pandora, and Leonardo the same with Kemeko.
"As much as they are sweethearts." she thought "I'm not sure I could handle them! No way! Too much fucking trouble! And Percy gives me enough grief as it is! Boy am I glad he's not here!"
She licked her fangs as she thought of the pesky grasshopper and how he loved teasing her.
"I swear one of these days I'm gonna turn him into a piñata, either that or use him for target practice with my whip! Maybe I'll add a blade to the end of it! That'll make him think twice about giving me a headache!"
She smirked as she thought of the last bit.
"Oh yeah!" she thought "I'll do that next time he makes me the butt of his stupid jokes and pranks!"
"You okay Kate?" Kate almost jumped out of her skin as she saw Michelangelo scoot closer to her and she blushed.
"Oh yeah." she said "I'm fine! Just thinking is all."
"By the smirk on your face, something funny!" said Michelangelo.
"Oh like you wouldn't believe." said Kate "Just wondering what to do to Percy next time he decides to play his pranks again."
Michelangelo looked a little worried, he knew how aggressive Kate got when it came to Percy, sometimes he compared her to Raphael when she was in a mood.
"Nothing too bad I hope?" he asked.
"Oh don't worry!" said Kate with a smirk "I won't hurt him...much!" she grinned showing her sharp teeth and Michelangelo chuckled nervously.
Kate then pinched Michelangelo's cheek.
"You do look so cute when you're nervous!" she said with a wink"Don't worry, I won't get mad at you!"
Michelangelo sighed in relief "Thank Goodness!" he said then he jumped slightly as he heard a firework go off.
"Hey look!" he said pointing to over the sea where some fireworks started to light up the sky and reflect on the water.
In fact the others also saw the Fireworks and ceased their activities.
The kids were especially excited as they moved closer so they could see the fireworks better.
"look Pandora!" said Sonia "Aren't they pretty?"
"Yeah!" said Pandora.
The Geckolings and Kemeko clapped their little hands and laughed as they watched the colours in the sky.
At the same time, Kate and Michelangelo sat close together, so much so their hands were almost touching...
End Flashback
Kate smiled as she thought of that memory, it was one of the times where Michelangelo was still a little nervous of her scary personality, but he was seeing through it all and how underneath her tough and aggressive nature that she was a funny and happy girl underneath.
Since meeting the turtle and them getting closer, she felt a more bubbly and happy side of her was starting to emerge and she wanted to show that more, as she felt happier that way too.
Just then a knock on the door woke her from her daydream.
She narrowed her eyes as she wondered who is was, and hopefully not Percy, the pesky grasshopper come to play another prank or maybe tease her.
"What!?" she snapped a little angry she had been pulled from her fantasy.
"Kate? It's Sephie!" Sephie's voice came from the other side of the door.
"Oh." Kate said, her mood changing completely at hearing the Gecko's voice "It's you, um come in! Come in!"
The door opened and Sephie poked her head around.
"Hey!" she said cheerfully "You okay?"
"Sure!" the Viper replied closing her album and sitting up straight on the bed "What's up? More training? Patrol? Any stirring from the world above?"
"Good guess, but no." said Sephie "It's Mikey!"
Hearing the orange masked turtle's name made Kate smile widely.
"Michelangelo?" she asked "How is he?"
"He's fine." said Sephie with a grin "He's actually wanting to ask you something!"
Kate grinned again more and waited for Sephie to speak.
The Gecko meanwhile smiled as she explained how she had spoken to Mona earlier and how Michelangelo ad requested to know when she was going to come back.
"He's been asking of me?" asked the Viper, the grin on her face getting wider and her stomach doing a few dips and swoops like a roller coaster.
"That he has Kate!" said Sephie happily "He's been asking of you!"
Kate grinned as she sat bolt upright on her bed and looked at Sephie.
"So?" she asked, getting more and more excited, "What's he been asking?"
"Well..." said Sephie, her eyes shining as she smiled at the Viper "He has requested..."
Back in New York, Michelangelo was standing in the middle of the lair showing Pandora his nun-chucks whilst the young mutant clapped her hands happily.
They had spent a couple of hours training, and Mona once they had finished said she was going to talk to Sephie and she had been gone a while since she had been waiting for Sephie to talk to Kate then come back to her.
Unable to sit still until Mona came back, Michelangelo decided to play with his weapons more and Pandora who had come out of her room wanted to watch him.
"See Pandora?" said Michelangelo as he swung his nun-chucks "Give 'em a good swing and you knock one right off his feet!"
"Can I try?" asked the little mutant.
"Not just yet kiddo!" said Michelangelo making Pandora frown slightly "I think these might be a bit heavy, but you'll be able to give it a go soon!"
"Awww okay." said Pandora.
"Mikey!" Mona voice was heard as she walked over, almost causing the youngest turtle to hit himself in the face with his own Nun-chucks as he got distracted, making Pandora laugh.
"Mona?" he asked as he looked over to the Lizard Lady who was grinning widely.
"I just heard from Sephie!" she said "She's asked Kate if she'd like to come here!"
"Oh yes?" asked Michelangelo in a hopeful voice.
"And she said she'd love to!" said Mona with a smile.
"Awesome!" Michelangelo cheered "Kate's joining us for Christmas!"
"Kate's joining us mummy?" asked Pandora "yay! I like Kate! I like the way she uses her whip!"
"I know sweetie!" said Mona "Kate is very clever with that whip!"
"You got that right!" said Michelangelo "Never misses a target with that whip of hers! I have to say she has more accuracy than that Spitting Cobra!"
Mona couldn't help but laugh at the last bit as she thought of the Golden Cobra of the deadly Venomous Five.
A deadly foe she was, a foul disgusting creation of the evil mad Foot scientist Dr Arden, insane and dangerous, but not very bright and despite being a Cobra, her aim wasn't always accurate.
"Oh man yeah!" she said "Cobra can't even spit in the right place! And she's supposed to be a Spitting Cobra! I ask you!"
Michelangelo laughed and was about to speak again when he heard Pandora's voice behind him.
"Hey! Look at me! I can swing like Uncle Mikey!"
Both the turtle and lizard looked over to see Pandora had picked up a yoyo and was swinging it around.
"That's the spirit Little geisha!" said Michelangelo "You can spin it like your Uncle Mikey can spin his nun-chucks!"
"Yay!" Pandora cheered as she spun the Yoyo more.
Mona meanwhile was a little concerned as she watched her daughter.
"Careful Pandora!" she said "You could hit someone with that!"
"It's okay sis!" Michelangelo said "I'm sure she won't hurt herself or anyone."
"Okay..." said Mona still a little unsure since she couldn't see the yoyo sure to how fast Pandora was swinging it.
Splinter who was leaving his quarters since he was going to watch his soap operas meanwhile Pandora and a thoughtful look crossed his face...
So Kate has said yes! Fantastic! I wonder what will happen when she arrives!
Well I hope to have another chapter up soon! Hopefully sooner!
Have a nice day!
