(Sorry for the long wait, working on my other stories. I don't own TMNT or Hunger Games.)

Chapter 3

Leonardo was pacing in his room.

How did Lord Dregg see past all those lies? Leonardo thought he was doing a pretty good job at acting. He probably didn't fall for it like all of Panem did. Leonardo sighed and ran out of the house. He turned right to the rest of the houses, where the four dimensional turtles resided. He ran up to the closest one, which housed the 12 turtles.

He opened the door. Leonardo gave them strict instructions to keep the doors unlocked because no one can see them. They did as they were told but kept up their guard. He slammed the door, alerting them to someone entering.

The four turtles ran down the stairs with their weapons at the ready but found only Leonardo at the foot of the stairs, with an angry look on his face.

"What's wrong, dude?" 12Mikey asked innocently.

"Lord Dregg was at my house," Leonardo said and walked passed them to go into the living room.

"Wait, Lord Dregg, as in the ruler of Panem?" 12Raph asked.

"Yes, the very same one," Leonardo flopped down on the couch, holding his head in his hands.

"What did he want?"

"He told me that he doesn't like liars," Leonardo explained. He gave them a recap of what Dregg told him back in the library in his house. Watching as their mouths dropped. "As long as I do as he says he will leave District 12 alone."

"How did he not fall for it?" 12Don asked, while leaning on his bow.

"I don't know but while on the Victory Tour, I have to act like I've never done before," Leonardo walked past them toward the door but his counterpart stopped him at the doorway of the living room.

"Are you going to tell the others?"

"I was thinking you guys could do it, besides," they all heard a sound what seemed like an approaching vehicle. "The tour begins." With that Leonardo walked out of the house. He walked back to his house and saw a familiar mongoose.

"Irma!" Leonardo's designer and favorite person in all Panem, next to his brother of course.

She smiled and returned the hug, "Hello my greatest triumph!" She chuckled rubbing his head. Leonardo smiled.

"What a cute little house," she stared at the house. Leonardo chuckled, "Call it cute all you want but it's a normal house to me."

Irma was about to retort when a familiar fox, dressed in all sorts of colors approached him, wearing a smile that was beaming. "Sweetie, we've missed you." April O'Neil. District 12 favorite person. She gave Leonardo a kiss on the cheek and smiled at him.

"Hey, April," Leonardo hugged her back.

"You should be very proud of Irma," April smile was very secretive. Irma had brown fur, but Leonardo was sure he could see a blush. "Why?"

"Everyone in the Capitol is wearing her outfits." Leonardo almost chocked. He was shocked.

"Everyone?"

"Well, except you, but we need to change that." Irma winked at him and they walked into his house. Mikey was the first one to greet the new guest.

"Is this Mikey?" Irma asked, bending a little to give him a hug.

"You are just adorable," Irma cooed, "Just like your brother." This time it was Leonardo's turn to blush and Mikey just laughed.

Irma shook hands with Splinter and turned to face Leonardo, "Are you ready?"

Leonardo nodded. "Yeah,"

"Good," With that Irma led Leonardo into the living room where she laid out a dark blue kimono. It had a wonderful blue diamond design leading down the front. Leonardo always liked how Irma and Donatello's fashion team decided to make use of their Japanese names and use it to inspire this. Irma didn't want him losing his roots.

It was around seven when they finished, making adjustments on the kimono because Leonardo wasn't at the Capitol to try it on and fix it. The cameras were set up facing the two houses, bright lights illuminated a spot where they were supposed to be standing. April told him what he was supposed to say and he repeated back with precision.

The Capitol music filled from the speakers, telling them that the Fugitoid was starting his show. Leonardo could hear him from inside his house. "Welcome! Last year, the 74th Hunger Games brought us the greatest love story of our time. Two brave young turtles, against all odds, chose to die rather than to lose each other. As a nation, we shared their agony."

"But we had so little time to revel in their joy. It's time!" The audience could be heard cheering and clapping. Leonardo was afraid the speakers might be destroyed.

"Let's go to District 12 and find our star-crossed lovers!" More excited clapping and cheers.

Leonardo took a deep breath and opened the door. Now was his chance to prove to Dregg what he can do. He plastered a grin as big and real as he can muster and walk down the stairs.

"There he is! Hamato Leonardo! The blue flame," The audience blasted the speakers and Leonardo waved at the cameras with a smile.

"And there he is! Masaki Donatello! The purple flame," Leonardo stopped where he was supposed to stop at and watch with a loving smile as Donatello made his way down in his purple kimono. It had the same pattern, but his was along the bottom. Donatello made eye contact and he ran toward Leonardo.

He picked him up and twirled him around and lost his footing, causing Leonardo to land on Donatello. Both of them smiling and laughing.

"I hope they're all right." Fugitoid could be heard above the laughter of the audience. They were so lost in each other that they forgot all about the interview.

"Anyone at home?" More laughter. "Should we come back later?"

"Sorry, Fugitoid," Leonardo said and helped Donatello up. Wrapping his arm around Donatello, who did the same thing.

"It's alright, it's your day. So how's it going?" Fugitoid asked.

Donatello spoke up, "We're good."

It was silent and Leonardo thought they already messed up. "That's it? That's all we get? Give me details!" Fugitoid made the audience laugh some more.

"Yeah, things are great here in 12. Thanks to the generosity of the Capitol, we've never been closer." Leonardo said and gave Donatello a peck on the cheek.

"Twenty-five yards to be exact," Donatello replied and the audience laughed.

"Fantastic! We'll be checking in with both of you throughout the Victory Tour. Thank you so much, Hamato Leonardo and Masaki Donatello!" They waved and gave another kiss, this one lasting until the red light on the camera's disappeared.

"Wonderful," April made them jump apart real fast. "Everybody in motion. We are out of here in 10." Everyone started packing up while Donatello and Leonardo stood there.

"Nice acting," Donatello whispered.

"You, too," Leonardo said back already feeling awkward.

"That kiss felt real," Donatello said, hope was shining in his eyes. Leonardo was about to respond when April motioned them. "Come along children we are on a schedule. The train awaits!" April lead them to a car that would take them to the train.

Out of the corner of his eye, Leonardo swore he saw shadow figures move. He smiled. Looks like they won't be staying back again.

"What is it?" Donatello asked, looking out the window of the car.

"Nothing,"

The drive wasn't long and they were on the train. It was the familiar silver, but they got inside the cart, the table was filled with food he has now came to recognize. "Fabulous food, fabulous wine, the massages, spa treatments. I told them nothing but the best for my two Victors." April said excited. She was happy that someone from her District finally won.

"It all needs to be…"

Leonardo cut her off, "Fabulous?"

She gave him a smile, "Exactly." With that she let them go to their rooms and rest. Reminding them that tomorrow they will be in District 1. Leonardo walked down the hallway and into his room knowing they were already there.

"I knew it," he smiled and saw the four sets of four turtles. They waved and Leonardo never felt like he was far away from home.
