Yup, Mikey and Laurie! So cute! Eh~ is it safe to say everyone is in character?

As always, I don't own TMNT. I can't wait for the second movie!

~*~ Mikey ~*~

I had to smile at the face Laurie made when she finally began waking up from her two hour power nap.

"Mikey...you stayed?" She mumbled and rubbed at her eyes with a yawn.

"I told you I would," I told her and rechecked her temperature. "How do you feel?"

"A lot better actually," she smiled, "I think I have a certain turtle to thank for that."

"You could thank me with dinner once you start feeling better," I suggested with a wink.

Laurie just laughed and gave me an affectionate peck on the cheek. "Wow, it's already after seven," Laurie bit her lip, "You're going to miss dinner if you don't hurry."

I checked the clock behind me and winced. Laurie was right, but dinner would be easier to deal with than explaining to my brothers where I had been.

"I'll phone you tomorrow okay?"

She nodded, "Talk to you soon then," she gave me another peck as I stood up from the couch, gently helping her back into a comfortable position, "Be careful Mikey."

"Careful? Ha! Danger doesn't scare me!" I bragged playfully, "Danger fears me!"

Laurie rolled her eyes and giggled. "Please spare me oh righteous hero." She teased.

I raised a brow and blew her a raspberry before slipping out the window, silently closing it, and disappearing into the night!

~*~ At the Lair ~*~

I cringed at the sight of all three of my brothers standing just a few feet from the entrance. They looked angry!

"Mikey," Raph growled lowly, "Why didn't you tell us about yer girlfriend earlier?!"

I rolled my eyes, that was his first question? "Well I thought that would be totally obvious Raph! It's not like any of you believed me when I told you earlier!" I replied crossly.

Leo looked sheepish as did Donny, but Raph just shook his head. "Look, we're sorry we blew you off back there but why?"

"Why what?"

"Why a human Mikey?" Donny spoke up, "How can you be so sure she's not working for the Shredder or something?"

I sighed and walked over to the couch, swinging over the back and reclining. "She works with April guys. They've known each other forever. Besides, she found me by accident."

"Start from the beginning little bro," Donny suggested, "How did you guys meet?"

With a tired yawn I began repelling about how I'd met Laurie the day I got sick and had to crash at April's place. Laurie barged in because of an antique she'd found and discovered me on the floor. When I finished my story by brothers were silent.

"Well? What?" I prompted.

"She seems alright. What's she like?" Leo asked.

"She's beautiful," I began, "Funny and shy at first, but she'll stop being shy as time passes. She loves pizza, is an awesome cook, loves to watch TV, she even used to compete in karate!"

"Does she still do so?" Raph asked sounding interested.

I shook my head, "No, she got injured during a tournament. She's not allowed to do a whole lot of sports anymore. At least not anything like that." I hummed thoughtfully, "She once told me that she's kind of scared to do that kind of thing anymore. The injury was to her leg and she almost had to give it up."

"What happened?" Don pressed.

"I don't know," I shrugged, "She doesn't like to talk about it. So I don't ask."

"Does she do any sports?"

"Uh...something called Kettle-bell. I don't know what that is though."

Everyone briefly looked to Donny who shook his head with a shrug.

"When can we meet her?" Leo asked.

"She's not feeling well. You'll have to wait until she feels better...and until I ask her." I answered.

"Why would you have to ask her?"

"Well jeeze Raph, I just told you being crowded makes her really uncomfortable. I wanna make sure she'll be alright with meeting you all at once."

"That is a wise decision my son."

I jumped a little as Master Splinter entered the main room. "You care for this girl correct?"

"Yes Master Splinter." I answered and stood up.

"I would also like to meet her." He requested, "I would like to make sure her intentions are pure."

"Are you gonna do another one of those "trusting your gut things"?" I asked.

"No," he chuckled, "I'm going to use an ancient Japanese skill specifically for this situation."

"Really?!" Leo grinned, excited by the thought of learning a new move.

"Of course not."

"Oh."

Mikey just laughed and went over to the pay phone to order Pizza.
