"So…have any ideas for HOW to get them both under the mistletoe?" MT asks. Amy taps her chin in thought. "Hm…maybe we could trick them! Like, we could assign them to decorate the tree and the mistletoe could be sneaked in as a decoration," Amy explains. "Good, but April'll probably figure it out. You know her. Ooh! We can hang it discretely above the fireplace then have them hang the stockings. For decoration, of course," MT replies. "Yes. Operation: Mistletoe!" Amy answers with a smile. "Heh," MT says, chuckling a bit.

"Let's do this!"


MT hums the Mission Impossible theme. She hangs the mistletoe above the fireplace, where it can just barely be able to be seen behind a large ribbon by a very observant turtle. "Mission Accomplished," she says into her walkie-talkie. "Nice work, MT!" Amy whispers into her walkie-talkie. She was upstairs, waiting for her instructions. "Now let's get phase 2 of Operation: Mistletoe going!" MT whispers. "Okay, so what do I do?" Amy asks. "I did the extremely risky mistletoe hanging without anyone noticing with 5 OTHER PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE. You assign stocking duty," MT explains. Amy nods and puts her walkie-talkie in her pocket.

She slides down the stairs and backflips to the floor. She steps into the kitchen, where everyone was eating her now-cold pancakes. Well, everyone except MT, who was nearby. Amy walks up to them. "D, April, you have to put up the stockings!" Amy explains. They look at each other before shrugging. "Ok," April says. "Sure," Donnie answers. They both walk into the living room and Amy walks up to MT. She grins evilly. "Now the fun begins! Got your phone ready?" MT says. Amy holds up her phone with an evil smile.

They peer into the living room. April and Donnie are hanging up stockings side-by-side, and they are unknowingly directly underneath the mistletoe. April looks up and smiles. "Mistletoe," she says, giving Donnie a small kiss on the lips. "YAY!" Amy exclaims before covering her mouth. April and Donnie whip their heads to the two. Amy grins evilly. "April and Donnie sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" she sings. April blushes. "Eep! Shh!" she says while Donnie is still stunned. "That's not very nice," MT tells her. Amy looks at Donnie.

"I think D is broken…" Amy mutters before snapping her fingers. "DONNIE!" she screams. "Eep! What just…April…what…" April flushes. "Mistletoe," she answers, pointing up to it. "Mission successful!" Amy exclaims before covering her mouth. "Oops," she mutters. "What? All right, spill. Were you two behind this?" April says with a smirk. "Yep," Amy answers with a smile. "…You two are like partners in crime," April murmurs, flushing before walking away. "Thanks. Apriltello for life," Donnie whispers to the two. "Anything for my friends, D," Amy explains, winking. "Thanks," Donnie murmurs before leaving with a blush.

"Yes! We did it!" Amy shouts, jumping up happily. "Sooo…what now? I was planning on going ice-skating," MT suggests. "I've never been ice skating," Amy answers. "I'll teach you. OR we could go test our ninja skills, because I just saw something pretty interesting go into the forest," MT replies. Amy thinks long and hard. "I think I'd rather check out what's in the forest. Need to brush up on my skills, anyway," she explains. "D and A just went into the forest…ALONE. C'mon!" MT says, running out the door. Amy follows her.


As they run, MT climbs a tree. "Let's practice moving with stealth through the trees," MT whispers down to her. "Okay," Amy whispers and climbs up the tree. She starts to jump from branch to branch quietly. They soon see Donnie and April walking towards the lake. "Wait…are they carrying…ICE SKATES?" MT whispers. "Aww, they're going ice skating together," Amy whispers, grinning. "That's so cute," MT whispers back, trying not to squeal. Amy looks down at the two.

"Should we give them some privacy or keep spying on them?" Amy asks quietly. "KEEP SPYING. This is TOO CUTE to pass up! Dontcha think?" MT answers. Amy shrugs and takes a silent pic. "Casey is going to FLIP!" she whispers. MT giggles. "Ya THINK?!" she exclaims, trying not to laugh. She could just imagine it now. The branch under her creaks. "Um…Amy…" MT whispers. Amy's eyes widen. "Uh-oh…" she says before the branch cracks, but MT leaps to a sturdier branch in time. Donnie and April look up, but the two were well hidden. "What the heck was that?!" April asks, immediately alert. "Why do I have the feeling someone's spying on us?" Donnie murmurs.

They both continue towards the lake, but at a slower pace. Amy sighs in relief. "That was a close one!" she whispers. "Um, ya think?! Oops, that was loud," MT answers as she raised her voice at the first sentence. Donnie and April turn back. Donnie takes out his Bo Staff. "Okay, who's there?" he asks. Amy smacks her forehead. "Really MT?" she mutters. "Hey! Not my-oh, right. It IS my fault. Oh, well," MT answers. "Come out. We can hear you arguing," April demands. Amy sighs, not having much of a choice. "Too late to turn back now," she mutters before jumping down from the tree, MT close behind.

"What the-" Donnie asks before Amy nods. "Yep, it's us," she explains. "MT? Amy? What are YOU doing here?" April asks in confusion. "Uh, funny story, really…" MT answers, smiling sheepishly. "Heh heh…spying on you," Amy tells her. "Come on guys, really?" April asks. "Well, we were…practicing our forest stealth?" MT asks nervously. "Yeah, that seems like a good answer!" Amy replies with a nervous smile. "Well, we were," MT mutters. "Don't sneak up on us like that! I nearly knocked you two out of the tree!" Donnie exclaims, putting his staff away.

"Sorry…but you have to admit, we did improve on our stealth!" Amy answers. "Well…yes. But, the branch breaking under MT was a dead giveaway," Donnie explains. MT scratches her neck sheepishly while Amy slaps her forehead. "Even if you did knock us out of the tree, Leo would be SO mad at you," Amy mutters. Donnie flushes, knowing very well that Leo would not be happy if that happened. "Well, yes, but there is 4 feet of powder snow on the ground, so you most likely wouldn't have been hurt," he tells her. "True," Amy answers. "Wait, who's knocking WHO out of the tree?" they hear from the shadows.

They all look each and Amy decides to speak up. "Um…no one!" she answers nervously. A pair of glowing white eyes appear out of the pine tree canopy that was nearby. "Donnie, if it's who I think it is, you're doomed," Amy whispers. Donnie gulps anxiously. "I really hope not," he whispers back. "I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding," the voice says. "Well, this guy has reason, so he's not Raph," MT explains, making Amy snicker. "True," she replies. "But, ahem, you never know it could be your boyfriend," MT says. "Leo? Is that you? If it is, I'm fine!" Amy calls out.

Leo steps forward out of the shadows of the canopy, then flips off his branch to the ground. "Yep, it's me," he explains and Donnie braces himself. Amy sighs in relief. "Please don't hurt Donnie, he didn't do anything!" Amy exclaims. "It's fine, I practically saw the whole thing. But seriously, don't sneak up on people like that. Especially people armed with weapons," Leo explains, blushing. Amy blushes in embarrassment before turning to Donnie. "Sorry," she mutters. "It's fine. But seriously, with our life, it could've been a mutant, or something…" Donnie answers. Amy rolls her eyes. "I get it. Wait…Leo, why were you following us?" Amy replies, turning to Leo. "I heard you two talking about practicing stealth, so I decided to surprise you two…by sneaking up and scaring you two," Leo answers. "Like a test or something?" Amy asks.

"No, more like a Mikey-sneaking-up-behind-you-and-scaring-you kinda thing," Leo tells her, smiling sheepishly. "Leo!" Amy exclaims before sighing. Leo blushes in response. "What I wanna know is how you do the glowing-white-eyes-and-disappearing-into-shadows thing," MT wonders. "You mean like THIS?" Leo and Donnie ask, turning their eyes white. The two back into the shadows of the forest. "Um, guys? Guys?" MT asks. "Guys? You better not try to scare us!" Amy says, looking around. They don't respond. "Guys, this is NOT FUNNY!" MT exclaims. "Donnie, don't you dare," April threatens and Donnie comes out of the shadows with a sheepish face, blushing. Leo still hadn't come out, however.

"Leo, get back here, now," Amy orders and she doesn't see a shadow appear behind her. Leo sneaks up behind her and grabs her shoulders. "BOO!" Leo shouts and Amy screams. Donnie, MT, and April stifle a laugh. "Hmm…Look! It's Captain Ryan!" Amy exclaims, pointing up ahead. "OMG, if he falls for THAT, I can't even…" MT mutters. "WHERE?!" Leo shouts, looking around. "Oh, you have GOT to be kidding me!" MT yells, making Amy giggle. "Revenge!" she says with a smile.

Leo flushes in embarrassment. "Rrrgghh. Well, I guess I deserve that," he says before he leans into her ear. "Wait for it…" he whispers. She gives a look of confusion. "For what?" she whispers back. "Wait for it…" Leo repeats and MT stifles a laugh, when a glowing pair of white eyes appears behind her. The eye's owners grab her shoulders. "BOO!" he shouts. "AAAH!" MT shouts, jumping a foot in the air. Amy looks at the person before laughing hysterically. "Nice one, Mikey!" she exclaims. "MIKEY!" MT screams before chasing the poor young turtle. "AH! AH AH AHHH!" Mikey screams.

Amy laughs before blinking, "Wait…did everyone follow us here?!" she asks in surprise. "Nope. Just Mikey," Leo answers, none of them noticing the argument going on in the shadows. MT continues to chase Mikey, much to his dismay. Meanwhile, the argument intensifies between Donnie, who snuck away from the group, and Raph. "Do I HAVE to? I'm THIS close, I think, to winning April over!" Donnie argues. Raph rolls his eyes. "Fine, I'll do it," he answers, sneaking in the shadows behind April. He grabs her shoulders. "BOO!" Raph screams. "AHHH!" April screams, jumping a foot in the air.

"Stop scaring us!" Amy exclaims before a loud screech suddenly emanates from the woods. All four turtles scream. "Nice try, Casey! It's not going to work!" Amy calls out. "What? Casey didn't even come with us! He had a hockey tourney!" MT explains. "I didn't spill more mutagen, I swear!" Mikey exclaims. "Well, if it wasn't Casey, and it wasn't the guys, and it wasn't us, then who or what was that?!" Amy demands. "I dunno, but I wanna find out!" MT answers, running into the woods. "What! MT! Come back!" Amy shouts, running after her.

"Oh, what the hay," Raph says before following the girls. "I'd better go protect Amy…" Leo murmurs following Raph. "BOOYAKASHA!" Mikey shouts before running after them. "Why do I get the feeling this is a VERY BAD idea?" Donnie asks. April sighs. "C'mon, D. Let's go save their butts," she says and they run after the group, hand-in-hand. MT skids to a stop in a clearing. Amy pants and places her hands on her knees, coming to a stop. "MT! Why do you even want to find out what it is?" she asks, trying to catch her breath. "Um, I don't know, but there they are," MT answers, pointing in front of her. The others skid to a stop behind the two. Mikey gasps.

"Whoa…"
