Chapter two: Acceptance
The turtle calmed down, if only slightly, but enough to allow Donatello his story.
"I, "Donny paused, "the only way I feel I can tell you is straight forward," he in took a deep breath and murmured, "Michelangelo has been turned into…the opposite sex."
The room was deathly quiet. No one spoke, until, "How does Michelangelo take this," it was Splinter.
"He wasn't taking it good. When he came to my room and demanded you not see him, he had . . . noticed changes. He's dealing with it better now. The pain is gone, and so is his sickness, which I found out was from his . . . reproductive system, shall we say, being altered. But, now, he seems to have let it soak in as much as he's going to(deleted unnecessary words). I told him I'm looking for a cure, but for now he's going to have to live with it. The very fact that he let me come get you shows that he is mentally recovering."
"Is he," Raphael didn't know what to say, "still good 'ol Mikey?" everyone was looking to the purple ninja, and he smiled.
"Yes, he's just getting his appetite back, and was saying, before he sent me out here, when he comes out he wants several pizzas, the works. Hold the anchovies." He laughed here, "I told him to watch his figure, a . . . and you should have seen him," they were looking at Donny as if he had lost it. "Sorry. Heh, it is just, his male and female ego's, shall we put it, are clashing. At times he acts like his male self, but then, at times, a feminine act pulls through. But, I guess I never noticed how many of those he pulled before he was, uh, changed." He chuckled slightly. But, he noticed as he slowly stopped, that the others were less than humored.
"When will we get to see him?" Leonardo's question was quiet, almost as if he was unsure he wanted to see his sibling. Raphael didn't flinch, but looked on intently and Splinter was taking this with surprising grace.
"Right now, actually," Donatello said as he got up. He didn't seem as worn out as before. A great burden had been lifted from his shoulders. But, he could see a dark shadow of worry in his older brothers. It wasn't a horrible thing that they were worrying about Mikey, but he knew that, whatever their feelings, if they made this any harder on the younger turtle, he would personally give them a lesson before master Splinter could get to them.
"It's time I go get him."
As Donatello disappeared into his room, Splinter calmly got up. "I had better order some pizza," he said casually.
"How can you be takin' this so calm, huh? Mikey has been," but the word stopped from Raph's mouth as his sensei, his father, gave him a stern look.
"I believe, Raphael that this is no different than me being changed from human to rat, or rat to human. Or you and you're brothers being mutated with the Shredder's mutagen," he calmly looked at the other. His furry brown face, streaks of gray making their way into his fur, said the rest. Raph bowed his head.
As Splinter went to go order pizza, and some sushi for himself, the door to Donny's door opened. The two turtles held their breath as they saw Donny step out. He smiled and side stepped to reveal what lay behind.
Same orange head band, same goofy smile. A ridiculous laugh came out of the young one in the same prankster manner, but with a lighter voice. Same height, but less bulky, an hour glass shape. Plump breasts held in by a soft underbelly of the shell, slightly larger hips, but not terribly so, and a little less bulky muscle, but a bit more toned down. Same green shade of skin, but with a lighter texture to it, seemingly softer in the dim living room light.
"Hey guys," it was a voice, bell-like, and slightly more powerful then most females, "I'm sorry I worried ya."
They just stood there silent, and the air seemed to thicken, Mikey's smile seemingly a bit more forced, "Hey Leo. Donny told me you pissed you're self when yah heard." That got them out of the trance.
"Why a sex change still hasn't gotten rid of that horrible attitude of yo's," said a smiling Raph, "you should watch it kid, someone goanna get ya."
Mikey was quiet, and the two were afraid the comment had hurt him. But it wasn't pain that was on his face. It was a look that they had never seen, on anyone. But it was replaced with a smile, and a small, "humph!" as she crossed her arms, "We'll have to spar some time so I can see who's going to get who!" the same overconfident assumptions. There was no doubt; this was their brother, now sister, Michelangelo.
To Be Continued
Hitomi: Hey! Thank you everyone for reviewing. The most of what I heard is no one has seen any R/M. I've seen one, and it should be under my favorites. But I hope that writing one will make more ppl wish to write one, so there is just more than one or two.
Now I have some Info to say that I wish to fill in before I get any really bad flames. The turtles are all unrelated by blood, from what I've read they were born in different pet stores. And in the comic, like fourth chp or something, Raph does mention that Mikey is his favorite brother.
I am already writing on the next chapter, and I hope to see more people reviewing. I also have to start writing on my other storiesBlush ever since I have began college I kind of forgot this website.
Oh, and also, in May, I warn you now, I WILL NOT BE UPDATING THAT MONTH, because I have finals and then a 6 week intensive course. So I apologize and will try to get at least four chapters out before then. But any further chapters probably will not be coming out till about mid June. So I apologize if anyone is getting really into this.
Also I wanted to bring up the issue of the turtles and they way I write the way they act, I haven't watched too much TMNT lately, and only read some of the comics, so I am taking all the main traits and trying to make them into one. I feel I have not got anyone's down completely, but please bear with me as I try to develop the characters actions and thoughts.
And on a last note, I know I have been writing very short chapters, but soon I plan to start making them a few pages longer, and that probably will begin next chapter.
Well that's it. Please R+R!!!
