Reviews Welcome.

OOOOO

It was one of those days where you just had to go outside. The birds were singing, the sun was shining and the sky was a pure blue without a cloud in the sky. The beauty of it couldn't possibly be resisted.

It was perfect.

It wasn't like they would have passed up any time to be out of the sewers though. Any minute outside was precious, especially when they went to Casey's grandma's house. There was always something to do there.

A walk in the forest on a day like today couldn't be passed by.

Which explained why the four of the brothers were walking tranquilly through the forest.

Well, mostly tranquilly.

"Hey Leo! Try to guess what I am! Grr…Roar! I'm an ugly, brainless monster that thinks oversized forks are cool weapons. Rarrr! I like beating up on my poor deffensless younger brother!"

"Mikey, you shell-for-brains! I thought I told ya ta shut yer yap!"

"I did! For two seconds like you said!"

Leo groaned as the voices of his two most noisy brothers rose steadily. Sighing he rubbed his face wearily.

"Mikey…"

"Raphie…"

"Don't call me that!"

"Don't call me that!"

"All this show needs is popcorn." Don muttered beside him as they watched Raph tackle Mikey to the ground. As girly screams from the youngest ripped through the air along with growls from the second eldest, Leo sighed and rubbed his temples.

He heard Don sigh as well as the two more reckless brothers began rolling away into the undergrowth of the forest. "I'll go break it up I guess."

Leo looked to Don greatfully. "Thanks Donnie."

Don nodded.

As Don ran off Leo sighed and closed his eyes. For once it wasn't him breaking it up. Maybe he coul-

"LEO!"

Leo's eyes flew open at the strangled voice and spun on his heels. His eyes widened at the scene before him.

In a matter of seconds, Raph had managed to put Don into a head lock all the while keeping Mikey pinned under him as he sat on his shell.

Leo saw Raph grin as Don called out and soon he was giving Don a noogie on the head. Don screwed up his face in frustration and flailed around weakly, trying to break free.

"Let me go Raph! LEO!"

"Not until ya say the magic word brainiac."

"Can't…breathe…fat turtle squashing me."

"Shut it Mikey! Now Donnie, what's the magic word?"

Leo face palmed at them and let out a heavy sigh. They were never going to change, were they? Once again it was going to be Leo to the rescue, heroicly saving his two youngest brother's from the wrath of the evil deeds of Raphael. Geez, he was starting to sound like Mikey.

"Raph let go of them." Leo called wearily as he began to walk towards them.

Raph's attention shot to Leo and he sneered. "Make me."

Leo huffed. "What are you fi-"

Just as he was about to reach them, he felt his foot snag on something on the ground. Completly surprised, Leo gasped as he fell foreward then tried to regain his balance. It was too late though. Leo fell face first into the plants that were surrounding them.

Seconds later loud bellowing laughter that he knew was comeing from Raph broke through the air and soon was joined by Mikey and Don. Leo lifted his eyes to find them all splayed out, holding their ribs as they laughed their hearts out at him.

"Dude, some ninja you are." Mikey gasped through laughs. "Leo that was a total fail bro."

Leo pushed him self up to a sitting position, sighing.

"Big foot Leo strikes again!" Raph exclaimed.

"Ha ha." Leo muttered. "Very funny. Except I bet you won't find this very funny."

Leo didn't even give Raph a second to comprehend before he pounced.

OOOOO

About five minutes later all of them were fanned out on the ground, breathing heavily and covered witb sweat. Leo felt good after a good "fight" with his brothers.

Raph chuckled. "Alright ya gotta admit that was funny."

Leo rolled his eyes. "Maybe a little."

Mikey laughed. "Not as funny as the look Raph had when you jumped on him."

Raph growled. "Mikey…"

"Oh SHELL!"

Confused at the unexpected out burst, they all turned to face Don who had practically screamed. Don had jumped to his feet and jumped out of the undergrowth they were sitting in.

"Don?" Leo asked. "What's-"

"All of you get out of those plants now!" Don yelled.

Still very confused, but trusting Don they all got out and walked over to Don.

"What's wrong Donnie?" Leo asked gently.

Don pointed to the plant they had been sitting in. "That."

"What?" Raph asked looking at the plants. "Are ya telling me ya freaked out over a plant?"

"It's not just any plant! It's toxicodendron radicans." Don said. "I can't belive I didn't realize…Shell. No. Nonononono." Don began pacing back and forth, shaking his head.

"Wait." Leo held up his hands. "What is toxicodena-toxico-"

Don stopped pacing and faced Leo."Toxicodendron radicans is a three leaf plant that contains urushiol, an oily toxin that causes a severe-"

"In English Einstien!" Raph yelled. "What is it?"

"Well, uh… in layman's terms…" Don swallowed hard. "It's…well…Poison Ivy."

Raph blinked at Don. "Are you sayin I just rolled around in a bush of poison ivy?"

"Technically that's more undergrowth." Don said. "That particular plant is to small to be a bush y-"

"I don't care about that!" Raph snapped. "I care that I just rolled in a bunch of Poison Ivy."

"What's going to happen to us?" Mikey asked fearfully in a quiet voice.

"Well, " Don began. "It causes a severe itching rash with blisters and can last up to two weeks. Symptoms start about a day or two after you come in contact with the plant."

"Great, just what I wanted: a rash." Leo muttered. "A perfect ending to a perfect day. Way to go guys."

"I didn't know that was poison Ivy." Mikey pouted. "Don's the one that knew what it was."

"Yeah, why didn't you tell us that was poison Ivy before we went into it Don?" Raph growled at Don.

"Me! You should know. Besides, if you two neadrathals didn't start-"

"-Raph's the one who started-"

"-Oh, now it's all my fault! If ya weren't so annoying shell for brains-"

"-Well if you weren't such a crab-"

"-I think it's both your faul-"

Leo groaned.
