Here's part two of "Leo and the Beanstalk"! Enjoy!

Sorry if it seems rushed, but I've got a BUSY weekend coming up, so I'm hurrying to publish the second chapter for you guys.

"Ho…"

"…ly…"

"…Chalupa…"

"…dude!"

Holy Chalupa, indeed. Sticking out of the ground right next to their house was a GIGANTIC BEANSTALK! It had grown all the way up into the clouds overnight!

Leo looked back at his bros and gave them a smirk. "Well…?"

Raph rolled his eyes and sighed heavily. He knew what Leo wanted to hear from him. "Sorry for doubting you earlier," he muttered.

Leo leaned in closer to Raph. "What was that?" he chuckled. "I didn't quite hear you." He just couldn't resist rubbing it in his brother's face. But he should've learned by now: if you play with fire, you get burned.

Raph's eye twitched and a vein popped out on his forehead. "I said…SORRY!" He screamed in Leo's ear, causing him to become temporarily disoriented and hear a loud ringing.

"Yeah, we're all sorry for doubting you, Leo," Donnie said in a softer tone. He now felt guilty for treating Leo so harshly last night.

"Speak for yourselves!" Mikey said. "I totally believed you, Leo!"

Leo smiled at Mikey and gently rubbed his head. He then looked up at the towering beanstalk, the top of which disappearing into the overhanging clouds.

"So, what are we going to do with this?"

"Good question," Donnie said while rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "What can we do with it?"

"Dudes!" Mikey suddenly shouted, startling his brothers a bit. "I got it! We'll use it as an attraction! Everyone from the village...no, wait, the whole world could pay to climb this thing! You know, to see how far up they can go! Or they could just take family pictures in front of it for Christmas cards or whatever. Genius, right?"

"That's…actually not a bad idea," Raph said while smirking. "That would definitely solve all of our money problems."

"How far does this beanstalk go, anyway?" Donnie asked.

"Well, there's only one way to find out," Leo walked around the house to the back door, since the front had been completely blocked by the beanstalk.

"Wait a minute," Raph said nervously after Leo left. "Is he seriously suggesting that we should climb all the way to the top of this thing?"

"Sounds like it," Donnie said, feeling just as nervous as Raph.

"Aw, yeah, bros!" Mikey was obviously very excited about all this. "We're gonna go on an adventure!"

"Count me out!" Raph exclaimed, crossing his arms. "There's no way I'm gonna risk my life climbing some plant!"

"Yeah, me, too!" Donnie agreed. "Besides, it would probably take days before we could reach the top."

"Well, then it's a good thing we still have these."

Leo returned with four grappling hook guns in his hands.

"So are you guys ready?"

So Leo and his brothers climbed up the giant beanstalk, stopping to rest on a leaf every once in a while. Eventually, they managed to reach the massive mountain of clouds. Climbing through it was like walking through a cold fog.

"Dudes! Where are you?! I can't see you!"

"Just keep climbing, Mikey! It'll be okay! Trust me!"

"Okay, Leo! I trust you!"

Finally, they made it out of the clouds and to the very top of the beanstalk. They stood over a forest of clouds, the bright blue sky clear above their heads. It was perhaps the most beautiful thing they've ever seen.

But then something in the distance caught their eye and cause them to gasp loudly in shock.

An enormous, magnificent manor house was actually floating on top of the clouds!

"Okay," Raph breathed, "are you guys seeing what I'm seeing? 'Cause I hope I'm not going crazy here."

"Yeah," Leo said quietly, "we see it too, Raph."

"But this is impossible," Donnie whispered. "I mean, this defies all of Newton's laws. That house shouldn't be supported by all these clouds. And yet, here it is."

"Hey, you guys smell something delicious?" Mikey sniffed the air, a dreamy smile on his face and his tongue sticking out. "Mmmm…I'd recognize that smell anywhere."

Mikey suddenly jumped off the beanstalk towards the manor!

"PIZZAAAAAA…!"

"MIKEY!"

It was too late. Mikey disappeared into the clouds, falling to his apparent death. For a brief moment, the only sound that could be heard was the heavy, shaky breathing of his brothers.

Then, to their great relief, Mikey's head popped out of the clouds.

"Dudes!" he called out to them with a huge grin on his face. "I'm totally floating! Cool!"

"MIKEY!" Raph shouted angrily. "Don't you EVER do that to us again, you numbskull! I outta just…Donnie, what are you doing?!"

Donnie slowly and carefully put a foot into the clouds. He didn't feel anything solid, but he had to give it a try. After all, if Mikey could do it, then so could he. "Okay, Donnie," he whispered to himself, "you can do this."

Taking a deep breath, he let go of the stalk and jumped right in. Leo and Raph's hearts stopped for a moment.

Donnie reappeared out of the clouds next to Mikey.

"This…is…AWESOME!" he shouted excitedly, raising his arms high in the air. "Come on in, guys!"

Leo and Raph looked at each other, shrugged, and dove into the clouds.

"Think we should knock?"

The Turtles were now standing at the front door of the manor, which alone stood about as tall as a 30-story building.

"I seriously doubt that anyone could even hear us knock, Mikey," Raph grumbled.

"Well, then if we can't knock," Mikey bent to his knees and walked toward the clearance between the door and the floor, "we'll just have to sneak in. Like ninjas."

Leo immediately grabbed Mikey's shoulder, stopping him from going any further. "Hold it, Mikey," he said. "We can't just intrude into someone's home like that."

"Why not?" Raph demanded. "We made it this far, so we might as well go in!"

"And it's not like they'd see us anyway," Donnie joined in. "Judging by the size of this house, it's safe to assume that compared to the residents, we'd be just like ants."

"Yeah," Mikey whined like a little kid, "and I'm starving! Can't you smell the pizza? The pizza, Leo!"

It was three against one. Leo sighed and gave up. "Fine. But only for five minutes. You hear me? Five minutes."

Nearly thirty minutes had passed, and the Turtles were still stuffing their faces.

The entrancing aroma of freshly cooked food led them to an empty dining room. Their hunger was so great that they didn't hesitate to climb up the towering legs of the table. Even Leo couldn't refuse. They came at the untouched feast like flies, nibbling on everything they could find.

Grapes, bread sticks, Swiss cheese, chocolate cake, salmon. The list could go on and on.

Mikey was practically bathing himself in a pepperoni pizza, savoring the taste and feel of the cheese. "Mmm...this is a dream come true…swimming in a giant pizza."

Donnie was sitting on the edge of the table, munching on a piece of cheese, when he noticed something glint on the drawer across from them. He squinted his eyes, which soon became as wide as saucers. "Guys!" he cried out. "Come quick! I think I found…"

"Gold!" Raph and Mikey shouted, their eyes sparkling with amazement.

Sitting in a giant bowl was a pile of normal sized eggs. Eggs that were made of pure gold. When Mikey tried to pick one up, he nearly dropped it on his foot, as it was incredibly heavy.

"There's no doubt about it guys," Donnie said as he closely inspected the pile, "this gold is definitely real!"

"But where did it come from?" Mikey grunted as he struggled to put the egg back into the pile.

"Yeah, what kind of bird lays golden eyes?" Leo pondered out loud as he rubbed the smooth surface of another egg.

HONK!

The Turtles immediately turned their heads in the direction of the sound. At the other end of the drawer, a normal sized goose was standing in a small cage, flapping its wings and honking at them. Scattered around its feet were a couple of golden eggs.

Next to the cage was a harp. Even though no physical hands were touching its strings, it nevertheless played harmonious music.

"I wondered where that beautiful music was coming from," Donnie whispered in astonishment.

"Dudes," Mikey said fearfully, "that harp…is totally playing by itself. Think it's haunted?"

"No," Leo calmly said, "I don't think it's haunted. Remember all those stories Father would tell us every night? Well, I do recall one story about a magical harp that could play by itself. And this could very well be the same harp."

Raph shook his head in disbelief. "Geez, can this place get any weirder?"

"Well, we have yet to see the residents of this house," Donnie said. "Wonder what they are like?"

"Hopefully, they'll be generous and courteous people who wouldn't mind having visitors," Leo said. "Big or small."

"Dudes, check this out!" Mikey was suddenly holding the harp in his hands. "I'm a rock star!" He then proceeded to move his hands along the strings like he was playing a guitar, humming some rock song to himself.

"Mikey, stop!" Donnie whispered urgently. "Stop! You're gonna break…!"

Boing!

Too late. A sting broke, and the magical harp stopped playing.

"Oops," Mikey said sheepishly.

"Well," Raph grumbled while glaring at Mikey, "it's useless now, thanks to you."

Mikey chuckled nervously. "Sorry."

"Oh, don't apologize to us," Leo said with his arms crossed. "You're gonna have to apologize to…" He glanced at the metal plaque that was at the top of the goose's cage. It read: "Property of Don Vizioso."

"…Don…Vizioso," Leo finished as he read the plaque. As soon as he said those words, they heard thunderous footsteps getting closer and closer to the dining room.

"Um, dudes," Mikey whimpered, "what's that noise?"

"Everyone, hide! Quick!" Leo whispered to his brothers. They immediately hid behind the egg bowl and waited.

A giant, obese man stepped into the living room. He wore a fancy black suit with grey stripes and a grey tie.

"Fee...fi…fo…FUUUMMMM!" he shouted, causing the Turtles to cover their ears in pain.

The giant then sniffled loudly, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and blew into it.

Despite the ringing in his ears, Mikey couldn't help but giggle. "That guy sneezes funny."

That's the end of part 2! Part 3 will be the final part. Remember, there's still three more chapters of this story to go!
