They sat there eating dinner, not too sure on what to do next. Donatello had banished himself in his room, seeing if the watches malfunctioned. The rest, well... "This can't be real?" Raph grumbled, so he took a fork then slammed it into his hand. "Ahhhhhhh" Mike, Leo and Raph yelled together. What the broot had done was to much. This was all real. Not a dream.
"How can this happen?"
"I don't know Leo, wHY IS THERE A FORK IN MY HAND?" Raph ripped it out throwing it to the side. That fork was not going to be used for a while. Splinter sipped his tea, uses to this sort of thing of a day to day basis. But he did wished that his son's would not go out of there way to hurt them selves to prove a point. Getting the first aid kit, he took note on the things inside "We are going to have to ask Miss. O'neal to go to the store for us tomorrow" no one was listening to him. With a heavy sigh splinter held the first aid kit to Leo. "Why did I do that?" Raph grumbled. Leo looked at his brother hand "Better than using a knife I guess"
"Not funny Leo"
"Boys" Splinter flicked his tail in annoyance. "Sorry sensei" Leo gingerly took the first aid kit and went to work on his brother's hand "Well it's real" Leo sighed, looking over Raphael's hand. "You know with all the weird things that's been going on, we should be used to this" Mikey Did the dishes for now, It was Raph's turn but fork in hand, so today he would let it slide. But in Raph's head for now 'So worth not doing the dishes' it wasn't one of his favorite chores.
"Well it's Magic" Donatello came in holding his hologram watch. "Logical bro said the M word" Mikey joked "Hush you, and what else could it be? The watches lost power by the time we got home, But..." He knew, he didn't program a human male reproductive part, that would have strained the programing and that was something he just didn't want to look at. "I turned them off as soon as this predicament happened, soooooooo Magic"
"Again with them M word" Raph hissed. He was not a firm believer in magic. "Hush, I'm just throwing it out there, is all, as much as I hate saying it, why not"
"So we all agree are new friend did this then" Leo said plainly. Raph took his hand and looked at it. "Having ten fingers is odd" he muttered "So how do we find her?" Mikey asked .
"Her?" splinter looked at the boys "Are you saying a mere girl did this to you?" Would not be the first time a girl got the best of them.
"Yes" the boys said together. Splinter couldn't help but smirk, "Dude, she's so cool, she's like us you know, but magical And she goes to school and and and" Mikey said taking a seat next to Raph and looked at his injured hand. "Meaning" he stroked it rat beard, looking at the human expressions. Interesting. "She's a mutant Turtle" Raph said "Hey don't poke that" swatting his little brother's hand away. "Tortoise" Michelangelo corrected.
"Who's a tortoise?" A familiar voice asked. In Came the redhead friend with a duffle bag under her arm "Wow, Donny you were right, you're still pink"
"What brings you here Miss. O'neil" Splinter poured and extra cup of tea for there guest. "Well Donny phoned me an hour ago on your predicament so I brought more clothes, Some of dad's old things..." She gave Leo a good poke "This cool and yet strange at the same time, So Who wants to go top side?" she smiled "Oh, oh, oh , me, me, me, pick me" Mikey waved his hands flinging himself out of the chair. She chuckled.
"Actually, I do need Donny"
"Wait what?" He was already poking through the duffle bag, not minding April's personal space "Why?" He tossed Raph a t-shirt that said 'Red hot chilly peppers' on it "I need you at the fairgrounds, there was supposed to be a concert tonight to closes the fair tonight but the stage technician isn't around annnnd"
"Fine" He pulled out a button shirt for himself "May I?" Leo asked April for the duffle, she gave it to him so he could change out of his garb too. "I'm going too!" They looked at Mikey "What you need an extra pair of eyes to find Mei"
"Who?" that name sounded peculiar familiar to her "She's the one that did this to us, you know that odd girl with the afro hair, the one in your dad's tent?" Mikey said again. So very enthusiastic.
Raph pulled on the t-shirt and got to his feet. He was not going to miss a gift horse in the mouth "I'm actually going for a walk and a movie." He sort of poked his head over leo's shoulder "Got any better shoes than theses?" he pointed to the old formal shoes he was wearing "That I don't have, sorry"
"Bahh" Raph looked like at his shoes and pants, all clashing. Meh. Mikey snickered "What?" Raph was ready to snap, holding his fist up Mikey looked away "Nothing, Enjoy the movie, bring a jacket it's going to be cold" he had this sickening smile on. Raph just took that at that. "FFFine" he grabbed the pinstriped jacket too and left for his room before going. Leo finally found suitable pants, "Your dad has a lot of button shirts and slacks"
"He's a simple man" she shrugged "So where's Casey?" Leo asked, normally He would follow April at the hip, but he didn't see him at the fair "Not talking about it" saying instantly. The boys took that as a 'He did something stupid, Again' Mikey was last in the leavings of the Daddy'O duffle bag. Old shirts, he took the t-shirt old looking sweater "Oh I like this..." it was soft and had a few holes in the arms, moths maybe? But it was a mustard yellow "Can I keep this?" asking as he put it on. "Sour, Dad hasn't warn that in years and the moths are eating it. "Sweet!" it was really soft, like alpaca soft, he was clearly not going to give that back, he grabbed pants that were somewhat okay with the sweater then the shirt, he was fine with this. "We will change and be back" not proper edicate to change in front of a girl. "To the fair, to the fair, to the faaair"
"Looks like Leo is coming with us" Donny smiled weakly. "You are human looking for a while longer, might as well uses it for now" Splinter sounded a little wary and left out. Like, I know you're not supposed to start a sentence like that but, Comon, how would you feel if you can go topside and not have to worry about people running from you. It's a little unfair. Stroking his beard he sighed. Donatello took note of this "Sensei come with me for a moment will you?" Splinter questioned to himself, but followed his son.
April was left alone "..." She pulled out her phone and checked her messages, nothing, a few From dad but that was just asking her to be safe and to bring home some eggs. Nothing from Casey, absolutely nothing. "What is he doing?" She sighed, sending him a text. 'Can we talk later? Tomorrow ? :( '
"Hey April got anymore cloths in that bag?' Donny called. April looked a few more things "Yeah!"
"Then come here!" This could be interesting or disastrous. When she Went into Donatello's room she was interested "Oh my god."
The fairgrounds were packed by nightfall. Not a normal thing for an art fair but.. Then again if you had a super hot band playing at the end of the night any event would be busy. "She going to kill me" said a rather raspy male voice. Shaggy black hair was sprawled over a table top as long muscular arms dangled over the edge, dressed in black from head to toe with a little dash of green and blue here and there. This was Mr. Jones himself. "Well if I was your lady I would too/"
"Hope, not helping" Removing a piece of iron from a hot fire she placed it on an anvil "Well, what would you expect, you are a hot head, you jump to conclusions and .listen" she grunted as she worked the iron with her hammer. The young man lifted his face revealing another new shiner on his left eye. Propping his head up he pulled at her scrapbook of past artwork "So you sold that sword you've been working on?" He asked, trying to change the subject. His phone buzzed in his back pocket.
"Yes I did, A woman picked it up"
"I thought it was a dude that ordered it?" he asked, looking at the texts he received. All April, trying to get ahold of him. "It was, but some strange woman came to pick it up instead..." Hope sounded concern.
"How strange?" he put the phone away "I'm going to eat your soul, strange" Blue eyes looked at her, she fixed her glasses and placed the worked metal in the fire again. Pulling her gloves off, Hope went to her bag then pulled out a sketchbook and pencil "She had the confirmation email, and she picked it up for the person that ordered it, and there was a letter too..." she started making a sketch of the woman that came by. "I was going to have it delivered tonight sinces the person lived in town but..I guess not."
Casey had a little artistic talent, and even thought he was a meat head, he had great appreciation for it and wanted to do more with it. Yeah he has a hockey scholarship and all, but sports can only take you so far, and what if he got hurt? He wants to be a cop too or a lawyer but his mind is to bogled and well. He felt stupid compared to his few friends he had that were closest to him. But as she watched Hope, he knew she had talent for this art stuff, heck she was a blacksmith in training on top of that, and was making more money in theses booths for the school, well she was closes to that one booth that was selling theses cool leather work stuff. He had his eye on this cool looking jacket that he wanted his hands on, he hoped it was there on sunday.
"How's the treasury work coming along?" She asked as she sketched "Ehhhhh, Okay, They have me on pick up duty tonight, I still need your booths-"
"My teacher already took it to drop it off at the school." she beat him too it "Doing the extra credit ?" Casey made a bitter face and nodded. Math was not his strong suit. "Wait so they got Mr. Lovejoy out here?" She nodded. "He was speaking to a lot of kids that were interested in welding and doing glass work" She smiled looking at the sketch. She added a few more touches to it. "Aw man, I had him last year for welding 101, it sucks he's not teaching it this year."
"Yep, he's finally doing his glass smithing class, he's been wanting to do it for a while now, but the school didn't have the budget until now.." Hope was pleased with her work and showed him the woman that came today.
"Woah, Wait-" He took the sketchbook from Hope. He knew that face, and he fought it. "What?" She held her pencil defensively in her hand "I know this chick..." but this couldn't be the same person, he may need a second opinion "Mind if I have this?" he asked already ripping the page out of the book as carefully as he could. "Yes?" she sounded a little flabbergasted, watching him fold it and place it in his back pocket "Not going to tell me?"
"Nope"
"Fine...Why are you here again?" Hope sighed, putting her defiled sketchbook to the side "Can ask a favor" he asked as nicely and as weakly as he could. Casey Jones doesn't ask help from no one, but when he did, he needed it. But this was Hope, and he knew She didn't know any of his friends so this was okay too. "I thought I was already giving you Dance lessons...for Free?" She propped her arms up on the table watching him, he wanted something else then learning "Hey I'm your long lost penpal remember"
"Yeah and you lost me for five year" she corrected.
"What can I say.." he couldn't say, it was an old school project back in grade school he had to do for a year "You're just lucky I live in the same place"
"And you're just lucky I have a big heart, now spill Mr. Jones" He bit his lower lip trying to find the words. He was going to speak when this woman came up to the booth.
"Excuse me, do you fix metal things" someone asked really sweetly. Casey's eyes widen when he looked at the woman. She had wild curly hair, a beautiful face and was dressed in black leather and blue from head to toe "Don't mind him, what needs fixing?" The blue woman pulled the large metal drum from under her arm "It's cracked" she said. Her voice was honey sweet "Yes, yes it is, My I?" Hope held her hands out, the woman gladly gave it to her. Casey was still staring, the blue woman payed no mind "Do you think I can get this back later?" she asked with a lot of hope in her voice. "Sadly. No" Hope was blunt.
"Hope!, Sorry, Miss of course she can" He was trying to do something that he really shouldn't do "No, I can not, the metal would make this sound off, and it would be too hot for her to play on, and it's going to have to be retuned"Hope said crossly. Case backed off, The woman dressed in blue sighed "That's fine, I can change my set around then" she sounded relived. "Leave your name and number.." Hope passed her client book to the other woman. She put her name and Hope smiled "Mis. Swanson, I will have this fixed for you by the end of Sunday night the latest, if I finish early I'll call." Hope gave her a professional smile then held her hand on it, Mis. Swanson shook on it, Hope took note it was firm and confident "Will discuss payment later than?" The two woman nodded then she turned to Casey "Yes?"
"Please tell me you're Evelyn Swanson from Open Blue?' he got on his knees in a begging yet worshiping way. The woman smiled "Okay, I am Evelyn Swanson of Open blue" Casey's eyes lite up like a rocket "She will do this for free, if she has four backstage passes to your next concert in New York!" He was hopeful, a fool for messing with someones business, but Hopeful none the less. "Casey, I'm going to murder you, Cut that out," Hope held the metal drum under her arm and was going to swat him "Sure why not" Evelyn said simply.
"Really?" the two said. Casey fistpumped as Hope hanged her head "Swaer on it?" she could be pulling his leg but if this was true "I swear" she winked at Hope "Oh god, yes, April is going to flip"
"Is this for a girl?" Evelyn asked, Hope nodded "He's stupidly in love." This just melted Evelyn's heart "Right, I have to meet a mechanic about my stage lights, have a good night" And she left, simply as that. "I like her" was all Hope said as she tested out the metal drum. She was still getting paid that's all that matters.
"Like her, shes awesome, and her music, Mega awesome, no wrong words, like...' he thought about it, how to describe Open Blues Music "Out of this world, it just takes you to another place, it's so-"
"Awesome?" Hope added, the drum was pretty much almost cracked to the center, she was going to have to be careful with it, and it was so old looking too. Antique maybe "Soooo, about that-" She shot Casey a rather dangerous warning look "Okay, okay never mind" Hope smiled, he did the same. "Don't you have a midterm you need to be doing and money to go collect?" She gently place the drum on the table top. Casey looked at his sleeve "Casey?" he ignored her "MR. JONES!"
"WHAT?!" He snapped. Rubbing her face she he was being a pest "Go finish your school work or go home" Hope had enough of Casey for now "Fffffffine" he pushed himself off the table "I will call you about the tickets later, for now patch things up with your lady..."
"Yes Mom" He left. He stuck his tongue out as she did the same. They stared at each other then smiled, then waved. And he parted.
Hopes smithys tent, it was warm there, now it's cold out here. If he went back to her tent she would kill him, smirking to himself Casey wondered the fair grounds. Doing his extra credit duties. If you are wondering. This fair was also hosted by the different schools in the area. Some were strongly influenced in art and others not so much. Like casey's school. It was a small college that dabbled here and there in things. Not like the college April was in. No she was in one of those high end colleges that you needed good grades to get in. And she had the brain for it. But he was lucky his long lost penpal went to the school he was in. Same with her sister. She was cool, sort of. So college life wasn't all that bad.
Some of the art stuff was boring, but other things were cool too. Rubbing his face he fixed his green hoodie and pulled out his mittens, the only bright color thing he had, a gift from April, yellow with a bit of blue. They were ugly but warm. Pulling his mittens off he pulled at his cell phone. Reading the messages, he responded 'We can talk over Lunch, at Louie's? :) '
The fair was quite oddly, even though there were people about and he knew he could hear music off in the amphitheater. For spring it still felt like winter, it was a shame this faire would have been better fitted for the summer than spring 'Hot cider, get your hot cider!' Casey could hear off in the crowd. He wished April was here, he wished he didn't mess up, he wished he wasn't a mess up, he wished his family wasn't a mess up. A lot of wishes tonight, to many for his liking. "Yo I'll take one!" Flagging down the cider man. It was warm and sweet. When was the last time he had cider?
"Alright guys we will meet back here at this spot"
"Mikey don't wander off from the fair"
"Leeeeeeeeo, I'm not a baby I can take care of myself"
"Says the guy who cries at Free Willy"
"Look who's talking"
"GUYS!"
Casey thought he was going mad. He thought he heard the turtles. Shaking his head in disbelief, he sipped more of his cider, he thought he heard April too. Can't be. Looking around all he could see was people, what's with the people, do there have to be so many people. Then he saw that red hair, his heart just melted. Getting a better look, the red head, HIS red head was with three bald guys 'What's she's doing?' he felt something turn with in him. The three looked the same except in height and then there was some tall old man, little bit of hair on the top, black and gray on the sides, and the old man had one of those old kung fu masters beards, dressed like one too. But he had a kind yet wies face "Would look like that rat if I didn't know any better." It would be a good kick in the pants if he knew he was right. The kung fu master looked in Casey's general direction, the boy froze, he hoped to whatever god that was listening to him, that he didn't hear him.
Casey just pretended to look somewhere and drink his cider. "April-" The tallest one, the one that looked like a total nerd, looked at his phone "Oh right, will be at the Amphitheater, call if you need us" She had a sweet smile and took hold of that tall nerdy guy and pulled him off in another direction "Oh come on " he just whined. "Right to the booth!"
BANG-GLITTER
Casey ducked his head wondering where that came from, but most people that were around looked unbothered by it, the newer people were startled. "Sensai This way"
"I must be losing my mind" he could have sworn that was Leo's voice, but he's a turtle not a man. Right now that didn't matter, what mattered was April on a date with another guy. So him being him and not trusting her, he followed.
The kung fu master looking man if you haven't guessed was Splinter. And he may not look it but he was absolutely ecstatic to be on top again, the boys could tell. "I haven't seen Splinter this happy in a long time" Mikey said, Leo nodded "I'm glad Donny made the watches" Mikey nodded "Oh Oh oh, there it is!" Mikey stood in front of a Macrame booth "Was this the thing you were telling me about?" Splinter gazed at the many handmade crafts that were hanging from poles.
"Yeah, look at the ones holding the potted plants, this would be so cool in the dojo" Mikey had found a new hobby, gardening. Since the dojo was the only place that had a suitable amount of light "I can have the herbs hanging from the tree and..." and apparently home decoration. Splinter agreed with this. This gave Leo enough time to slip away. Leaving Mikey to have father son time with Splinter. There will be another day he can do so, maybe, he hoped that this wasn't fixed, and he could get a nice taste of being human on his own. "May one of those demonstrations tomorrow?" he thought. What was he thinking, they would be back to normal tomorrow. Why have a hope that will never come to be?
Leo was lost in thought, looking at his hand he moved out of the way when a few kids ran past him, there was a time when him and his brothers where that small. But now they were men, so to speak. So at the task at hand, finding Mei, and the only best bet was to ask her sister on where she was. Hopefuly things will go well. He was wrong, so very very wrong.
Bang
Bang
Bang
Glllllliiiiiitttttttttterrrrrrrrrr
The blacksmith booth at the end of the fair was almost empty if it wasn't for that blue haired woman who was pulling a cannon behind her. Leo stood there and watch the woman work. Pulling the small cannons to her tent and then placed a long metal rod between the wheels. Look like she was going to lock up for the night. When she was done doing that she worked at the fire a little before closing up the burners hatch as well. Then she pulled out a few boxes. Two, long black boxes. Leo moved in, just being as quiet as he normally was. All that years of ninja traning and you tend not to leave a preses unless you wanted to, but does that work for the form he was in now?
The boxes here narrow, she was opening them up and pulled out a spear head, the more he looked at it, the blade was shaped like a leaf and there was a tuff of red at the base of it "Is that a Qiang" he blurted out. Something he didn't want to do but he did "Yes" Hope said simply , she didn't look, to busy examining the head of the spear. She looked around and then went under the table, pulled out a box, small white and it had writing. ' black card. It was opened and there were black cards. She pulled at her bag and pulled out a pen. White and started writing. When she was done it went into the box along with the Qiang. The blade was covered with a shimmery fine fabric and then covered. She handled it with care, and then went to the next one. No blade this time, long bock the same but this time it was the metal roses from this morning. Leo had to ask "Do you really make theses?" Hope finally looked up, she looked pleased at first but that was replaced with a cold emotionless expression.
"Good evning Mr. Knight" leo could tell she didn't want him here. After watching her for a good twentie meinets. She had an expression of peace and love and now it was bitter and empty. "Leonardo actually" correcting her. "Yes and No" She said as she went to sign another card with the white ink pen. "It was chipped and the blade was cracked... I fixed it" she said honestly. Leo didn't believe that "So you can't make any of theses things?" Hope just scoffed at him "Honey"
Honey? Leo thought. "Yes I made..." she looked behind her, Pulled down a metal mirror frame, a knife, a rather fancy looking candle rack and a spoon. "Theses, I repaired the Qiang, and made the roses, and them too" pointing to the cannons behind her. "So do not question an artist worth on the things he or she has done" she sounded very angry. Leo crossed his arms, but looked at the mirror frame. It was round shaped and quite large, almost as big as him, almost. "What's with the fetish on the frame?"
"What?" she looked confused and looked at it herself. "What don't like Dragons?"
"Why sound so disgusted"
Hope shook her head "Another commission" she began to take the mirror apart. Being careful about it. Why was she doing that? "Isn't the mirror part of the commission ?" She finished and the mirror was carefully leaning against the table for now "No, this is a family heirloom, I.." she scratched her head " Need to make the mirror look complete?" he asked "Yes." She put a thick black blanket over its surface and gently flipped it over. The back was old looking. Metal with five rings, that got smaller to the center where A gem sat in the center of what looked like a serpent and yet another dragon. "Jade?" Leo asked. He wanted to touch it but knew better "Good eye" she sounded somewhat nicer. "Dragons?" He asked. And Hope sighed again "It's a family thing..."
He knew about family things indeed. "It's Pretty" was all he could say. The nicer he could make her the better and easier he could talk to her about her sister. He already got the fact Hope was protective. But Hope was not going to play chit chat any longer. "What can I do you for Mr. Knight?" she was getting to the point. He was here for something, and she wanted him gone, just as quick. "If not I'm trying to closes so I can go home." Oh she sounded bitter than pleased. He was going to ask before.
"Leo is she here!?" Mikey was pulling at Splinters arm to follow. Yep little kid and his dad, it made him smile. "Right" Leo looked back to Hope, who still had her eyes locked on him "Is you sister here" he asked as nicely and as sweetly as possible. "No, now go away" She bent down and went under the table. Leo was ready to snap, she was being difficult. Why is it when there's a girl around, he has no way to handle them? None, none at all.
Mikey laughed "You just need to smooth talk them." Mikey placed his hands on the table "Oh pretty laaaaady?" Hope's head slowly came out of hiding, only from her eyes up "Is your pretty sister here?" he asked sweeter than Leo and he batted his eyes. "No, now please go away" her head when back under again. Mikey was shocked "But that always works in the movies!" his head hanging in defeat, Leo patted his back. "Life isn't a Movie Mikey..."
Splinter gave it a try "Miss, My I have a word with you?" Hope's head came up again "..." Splinter gave her a small smile. She sighed and pulled herself up "Yes, Sir?" she sounded defeated. "My boys have a question regarding your sister?" he looked at his boys and gestured them to step forward "My apologies but I'll speak to Elves, but not the knight" she was trying to sound respectful but she was being rude. Splinter looked confused. "Elves? Knight?"
"Thats me sensei" Mike had a smug grin on his face "So.." he leaned on the table looking at Hope. Leo was almost glaring, she ignored him. What does she have against him?
"Is your sister here? I have a request for her?" baby bro asked as sickening sweet as he could
"No she's not, she's home working on her homework" she crossed her arms.
"Siiiissy, I brought you dinner!" And speak of the devil along came Mei, dressed for the weather unlike her sister, and holding a large clothed boxed. "Uuuug" Covering her face, She turned away and hid under her table "Hey Baby!" Mikey throw his arms in the air. Mei stopped and squinted and shrieked, Casing Splinter and Leo to cringed. "I was looking for you" Mei smiled and placed the clothed box on the table "Hold on, Hope...Time to eat" Hope didn't move from her hiding spot. "Hope?"
"No, Go away, you said you weren't coming Casey waited too" she snapped. "I ran into the Dean, I'm sorry" Mei was trying to coax her sister out. The name Casey struck the three a little, it couldn't be there casey, but then again that was a common name. Splinter didn't think anything over it, nor did the boys.
Mei smiled weakly and looked to the men "Was she being mean?" pointing to where her sister was hiding. Mikey and Leo nodded "Hope!" the woman's name hissed to it. "Sorry, she gets ungodly mean when she hasn't eaten all DAY" snapping as she reached over and held the bag bating her sister. "Sooooooo She's ungodly cranky and rude to people if she doesn't eat?" Leo questions. Splinter knows a few turtles that get like that, They still get like that when they don't eat. He was looking at them right now. "Come on Hope, I'm not going home until you eat." That wasn't working. She sighed and thought of something else "Okay okay, we are going"
"We?" Splinter asked, Mei waved her hands for them to move. Mikey took the hint and grabbed his brother and father by the arm, "This way" the three moved behind the tent. "Ill text you when I get Home, okay?" Hope peered from her hiding place "Okay, Love you...thank you..." Mei just smiled. "Got it" Then she left, Quietly she meet with the others and waved them over to follow her.
"Soooooo, What's up?" Mei and Michelangelo sat at a bench a bit away from the fair. Leo took a seat next to his brother, actually looking tired for once. You could see the lights and the tents behind them, Splinter smiled to this sight, he had been to a few fairs in his time, and he missed it so much. " Sooo, Yeah like we're stuck this way" saying matter of factly. She looked confused "What do you mean?" she asked. She looked up to the elderly looking man "And who's this" Thumbing in Splinters direction , he just bowed to her "I am Hamato Yoshi, But you may call me Splinter." he was kind to her, she liked it "He's our Dad" Mikey Kicked back and relaxed.
Leo sighed "WE can't take this skin off at all" he was pulling at his cheeks. Mei poked Mikey in the cheek she had a look of panic on her face "Oh no, no no no no"
Getting up she started pacing "What, what, what" now he looked a little concerned "Mei?" Leo asked "I can fix this" hastily saying as she turned towards them. Hope was going to kill her. "Cool beans, let's get going then" Mikey got to his feet and started texting Donny. She had a very forced smile "Sure" Leo looked a little sceptical "Can you really fix this?"
"Sure as Surely can." Nope, but she had to try. "I didn't put your dad in a spell too...did I?" Splinter shook his head "No, one of my sons inventions" Mei smiled relieved "Wait you know about me?" The rat smirked and nodded. "Can he keep a secret too?" she asked Leo. He got up and nodded "Is Donny coming?'
"Hold on Bro" He called Donny instead, he wasn't getting a quick enough responses "Yo Donny, What's that noise? Music? Sweet Ke We Found Mei and were heading home, coming?" His head nodded and bobbed a few times "Okay, Have Fun"
"Well?"
"He's On a Date with April and they ran into Casey and watching the Open Blue concert"
"Wait Open Blue Is here?" Mei exclaimed. "Phhh yeah" He pocketed his phone "Sensei can we go?" Mikey gave his puppy face "Please?" Mei joined in on just as cute puppy face. Leo wanted to go home, but he hasn't been to a concert before, well on the ground, and not hiding in the shadows. "Sensai?" he asked as well. Splinter looked at the young pleading faces, rubbing his neck he smiled. Not saying anything he nodded in agreement. Let them enjoy their fun was his thoughts. "What is this Open Blue" was all he could ask. "Omg!" the two youngest said together. They just looked at each other and took splinters arm. Leo could tell Mei was an overly friendly person and didn't respect people's personal spaces. Unlike her sister, they were polar opposites "So like it's a Rock band' Mikey started. "But they don't do just rock, there's opera in it too"
"Like Meat Loaf?" Splinter asked. "Yes, but better" Splinter smirked, okay he could like this maybe. Leo watched the tree walk off towards wherever this concert was. He looked back to the Fair watching it a bit and then followed.
To be continued...
