Just Isn't My Lucky Day
Chapter 3: Not Again
Disclaim: I don't own or know the TMNT.
"DONNIE!"
"What?"
"Change me back, NOW!"
"I can't. It's not ready yet."
"I'm getting stir-crazy in here."
Leo shook his head. It's been a week and Donnie still had them all trapped in the Lair. Sighing, Leo looked back at the blank wall he was looking at. Mike walked out of his room and looked at his older brother staring at the wall.
"Whatcha look at?" Mike asked.
"Nothing," Leo said with a sigh. He had just lost sight of the girl. God how he wished he could talk to her again.
"Ok," Mike said, walking over to Donnie. "Need anything? I thought I might go shopping with April to see how it is."
"I'm coming as well," Raph said. "If I stay here any longer, I'll blow."
"Leo?" Donnie asked walking out of his lab.
"Mine-as-well," Leo said, standing. "Master Splinter, are you coming?"
"Yes," he said. "It will be nice to be able to move in some fresh air and I wanted to try some of that fresh Chinese food."
Everyone chuckled and the family headed towards Aprils.
"Hey April, ya home?" Raph asked as he banged on the door.
"Hang on, hang on," April said on the other side of the door. A few more silent moments before the door flew open. "Can I help you?"
"April, it's us," Mike said. He walked forward. "Aren't we going shopping?"
"Mike?" She asked, looking at the blonde haired teen.
"The one and only," he said smiling.
"No wonder you asked to go shopping with me," April said with a chuckle.
"Ms. O'Neal, may we stop by a place to get fresh Chinese food? I've been wanting some for a while," Master Splinter said.
"Of coarse, but we have to get Casey," April said.
"Of coarse," Master Splinter said.
On the way to Casey's, the only one not talking was Leo. He was busy staring into space, into another dimension.
Ashara fiddled with her shirt. She was walking around the new school building and was unsure on where to go. It would be a few weeks till school started but her family was taking the tour with her oldest, younger brother Sebastian. Sighing, she turned and headed back to her family.
"Leo? Are you ok?"
"Hu?" Leo asked, looking at Donnie. "Yeah."
"Ya sure bro?" Raph asked. "Ya been staring into space every now and then for about a minute or 2."
"I'm fine, honest," Leo said, smiling as he tried to reassure his brothers. "Really, I'm fine."
"Ok," Donnie said and hurried over to April and starting to ask a million questions a second. Leo chuckled and looked at the sky.
Ashara. Leo sighed and hurried to catch up with April and his brothers.
"Ashara."
Ashara's head shot up and she looked at her mom.
"Come on. It's time to go home."
"Ok," Ashara said. Ashara looked back at the window she was looking out of before she ran after her mom.
Leo.
"Leo, ya coming?"
Leo looked up at Raph from the book he was reading.
"Ask April to buy that book for ya and let's go. There's an oriental shop I want to show ya."
Leo chuckled and followed Raph. He handed April the book and smiled at her. She nodded and Leo jogged after his younger brother. Master Splinter watched as the two oldest ran out of the shop and he sighed.
Kids, Master Splinter said. They grow so fast.
"Master Splinter?"
The old rat turned and looked at his youngest son.
"What is it Michelangelo?"
"Can I go check out the video games?"
"Oh no," April said coming over. "I'm not buying you any games."
"I just want to look," Mike said, making the puppy dog face.
"Ok but I'm not buying you a game."
"Ok," Mike said before sprinting towards the games.
Donnie chuckled and walked over to April.
"Thanks again for buying me those books. I owe you."
"It's ok Donnie. Why not you fix my computer and call it even?"
"Ok. Mike, wait up."
"Splinter," April said as Master Splinter walked over, "I was wondering about Leo. Why does he have black hair and his other brothers have a mix between brown and blonde?"
"I do not know Ms. O'Neal," Master Splinter said. "I have a feeling we will not know. Donatello and the others haven't seemed to notice. That reminds me, I must find Leonardo. Ms. O'Neal."
April nodded and Master Splinter walked over to the oriental shop and looked for his two oldest sons. Spotting Raph and Leo looking at the weapons, he walked over.
"I see you both have found something interesting."
"Master Splinter," Leo said. "Raph actually found them. I was looking at the swords he was just showing me."
Leo pointed to a sword with two blue dragons ebbed into the handle and its twin.
"Both swords have 'water dragon' carved into one side of the blade and 'honor' carved into the other in Japanese," Leo said.
"And how do you know this?" Master Splinter asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I asked," Leo said.
"Of coarse," Master Splinter said. "Leonardo, I need to speak to you alone."
Leo nodded and Raph chuckled. Leo hurried after Master Splinter after he had shot a warning glance at Raph who just shrugged. Leo and Master Splinter walked around the mall in silence for a bit before they sat down in the busy food court.
"Leonardo, I would like to know what was going on during training a few days back," Master Splinter said. "It is unusual for you to train like that. You have never been beaten by Donatello since we started training a few years ago."
"Nothing important Sensei," Leo said. "I was just having a rough night."
"Care to explain, my son?"
"I've been having dreams, that's all Sensei," Leo said.
"Dreams that make you lose your concentration in training?"
"I couldn't help but think about the dream Sensei," Leo said. He watched a couple walk by. "I couldn't figure it out."
"Has this dream stopped bothering you, my son?" Master Splinter asked, studying Leo.
"Kind of," Leo said, looking at his hands. "The dreams are different but still are on the same plain."
"Plain as in…"
"They have the same people and same results each time, just in a new place," Leo said.
Master Splinter opened his mouth just as an explosion erupted in the middle of the food court.
"The Foot," Leo said, and Master Splinter nodded. The two of them stood and got ready to fight as Mike, Donnie, Raph, April, and Casey came running.
A/N: Here you go. I know it's nothing much and it doesn't answer many questions but at least it's something right?
