It's been way too long since I last updated. I couldn't think of anything, a Christmas idea came to me a few days ago, so I got this typed up real quick. This is part one, I'm thinking two, possibly three, parts All all.
The month of November slowly fell into December as the days got shorter and the nights grew longer. This as perfect for the four turtles, after all, they could go out when it was dark. They started leaving for their nightly patrol earlier and come back, cold and tired, much later then they should have. Renée gave up on staying up until they came home, but she would always come running out of her room when she heard them coming in.
Renée's training became slower as the days grew colder, since she seemed to become much more sluggish that the turtles ever had. Donnie had explained that she was simply more in tune with her animalistic side that they were, this causing her to feel the effects of the cold, winter air more.
As Christmas drew near, April insisted that they have a party with all their friends. It had only been done once before, just two years ago. The family had enjoyed it then, and that year they had also added Mikey's pet cat, Klunk, to the family. At that moment, exactly fifteen days until Christmas, they were gathered around the small table in front of the couch. April and Casey were with them and they were writing and sending out invitations to the ones they wished to have over.
"We have to invite Usagi, Gennosuke, Tomoe Ame, The Daimyo, and his son." Leo said, a smile creeping over his face at the thought of his friends. It had been two years since he had last seen the samurais and the Battle Nexus rulers. If fact, it had been two years ago at Christmas that they had come.
The others nodded their agreement and April quickly jotted down the names. "And the Justice Force! Silver Sentry said that he enjoyed last Christmas we had." Miley put in from his spot next to April, stoking Klunk as the cat slept in his lap. April nodded and jotted down the names then glanced at the others around the living room.
"Should I just go ahead and put everyone that we invited last time down?" She asked with a slight chuckle. The four turtles nodded, and glanced at each other. "Anyone else?" Donnie asked his brothers. The other three thought for a minute, then shook their heads.
"We haven't exactly met a whole lot of people since our last little get together. So that's pretty much everyone." Raph pointed out. He was sitting on the left end of the couch, with Spike on the armrest and Renée sleeping peacefully in his lap. The young lizard held hr stuffed rabbit close to her chest and she slept in her usual fetal position on her brother. "But we all know its just so that you guys can show Rennie off the all your friends." He noted as he offered his tortoise another leaf of lettuce.
Mikey smile, instantly spotting a way to tease his brother. "You're just jealous. You only have one friend and he already saw her. Right Casey." Casey had been sent off to do a, hopefully, not destructive activity, making paper snowflakes. The dark haired man looked up as he heard his name spoken. "What? Oh, yeah." He chuckled slightly. "Sorry Raph, but I am pretty much your only friend, other than April and your brothers of course."
The red masked turtle shrugged slightly. "Or maybe I'm just keeping my other friends hidden from you guys." He stood, scooping Renée up in one arm and Spike in the other. "You'll never know." He said as he walked past his younger brother.
Mikey watched him walk into Rennie's room to put her in bed, then disappear into his own with nothing more than a quick wave towards the group in the living room. "Don't mind him, Mikey. He's just trying to get under your shell. He knows you can't stand not knowing secrets." Leo said as he stood and grabbed the list and empty invitations. "I'll go get the these written down and sent off. You guys can go shopping for a tree. Casey, don't get one bigger than you can carry this time." He chuckled as he walked off with the papers and pen in his hands.
Mikey scrambled to his feet and darted off to get his clothes on so that he could go with Casey and April to choose out the tree. Donnie stood shortly after and started towards his lab. April padded after the purple masked turtle. "Aren't you coming to pick out the tree?" She asked as they neared his lab. He shook his head, a slight smile creeping across his face. He obviously had some idea in his head, so she decided not to press the subject. "No, I've got a couple things to do. Of anyone asks, tell them not to bother me please." Once she had nodded, he slipped into his lab and shut the door, followed by the soft click of the door being locked. She sighed softly and walked off to get ready to go.
Well, what do you guys think? I'd love to hear all your thought and comment, web then good or bad.
