Time for another one-shot~! This one is rather short but actually involved Splinter :D I didn't want to neglect that dude! Enjoy!
11#: Visits on a rainy day~!
People always said that the weather was an unpredictable phenomenon. But the weather that day was definitely unexpected. Big black clouds had blocked the sky and darkened the city underneath. Dangerous sounds emerged as well and indicated an upcoming storm which emptied the streets of New York. With a lightning flashing powerfully and brightly down the covered sky, the clouds finally let go of the massive amount of rain they contained, emptying themselves. It didn't take long before the water increased, running their usual path down through the grates and into the sewers.
"Donnie! This isn't getting any better!" Mikey said as he placed another pot under a certain spot beneath the ceiling where water was constantly dripping down. His brothers and Sensei were currently sprinting from the kitchen to the living room with cooking equipments in their arms, attempting to save their home from being further damaged from the rain. By now the floor was completely soaked in water.
"I know!" the purple-clad turtle said annoyed. "There are way too many leaks; there's no way we can stop all of them before the whole Lair is flooded!"
"Sensei, what do we do?" Leo asked his Father when none suggestions came into his own head. The rat closed his eyes in deep thoughts for a moment, before opening them again.
"Perhaps we need to leave our home for the night. The Lair is not habitable under this storm, so we must wait until it settles. In the meanwhile, we must also seek a place to stay for the night being."
"But where to?" Raph asked in confusion.
"I bet April or Alex won't mind us coming over," Mikey said optimistically. Donnie rested a hand thoughtfully under his chin.
"I don't think April's place is such a good idea. Her aunt doesn't know about us, so we can't just go waltzing in there like we're her old friends from school."
"We can on the other hand at Alex' because her sisters does know about us," he continued.
"So to Alex' place it is," Leonardo nodded in agreement. After a couple of failed attempts to call her phone, he added. "But she's not answering her phone; should we just arrive without telling beforehand?"
"Well, we can't say we didn't try," Raph shrugged, and turned to walk with Spike sitting on his shoulder. "Let's move before the water rises any further."
No one had a problem with that. They left the Lair and went through the different paths of the sewers, being careful to not take the wrong step in the slippery surface of the ground. When they approached a manhole-cover that was near their friend's apartment, they climbed up the latter and carefully lifted the lid to watch for any humans around. Luckily, the raging storm had made them stay inside to wait for the weather to calm down.
One by one they exited the sewers and stealthily climbed up the fire escape so as to not meet with anyone else. They finally ended up at the floor where the Taylors lived, completely soaked in rain and Leonardo took the initiative to knock at the window. A young blonde woman appeared, surprised for a brief moment before opening the window.
"What are you guys doing here in weather like this?" she asked in concern as they plopped down on the kitchen floor one by one. She rushed out of the kitchen area to gather a bunch of towels for the drenched mutants, handing them one each.
"The Lair's flooded, so we were forced to come here," Leo explained, as he rubbed the top of his head with the soft fabric. "I hope you don't mind."
"Oh, don't worry; you're welcome to stay here as long as you'd like," Lily replied with a soft smile, then groaned in annoyance as music drifted off from a room nearby.
"Alexander! I told you already; if you want to listen to that junk, you'd better turn it down!"
Seconds later the music stopped, leaving the building in temporary silence, until the black-haired girl known as Alex appeared from the corner.
"Girl, did you just call my music junk..?"
She stopped right there, staring wide-eyed at the mutants in front of her which she had no idea had come. They stared as well at the teenage girl who was standing in front of them in a white dress shirt, pink boxers, red boots and a pair of black sunglasses with a guitar in her hand.
"Why, ain't it just your style to show up unannounced?"
"We are ninjas, if you hadn't forgotten," Donnie reminded.
"Nice boxers, by the way," Raph snorted in slight amusement. Alex straightened up her back a little to act proud in pure sarcasm.
"Thank you. It's my best pair."
"Weren't you supposed to do your homework, lil' sis?" the blonde asked skeptically with a raised brow and crossed arms.
"Well, yeah, but I found something funnier to do," the teen replied casually and played a couple of accords on her guitar. "And who knows? Maybe I'll quit school and become a famous musician!"
"Quit it, sis, we got guests so I won't be too much to ask you to act just a little bit mature."
"Absolutely not," the youngest sister grinned. "I'll be on my bestest behavior!"
"I'm glad to hear that."
"Hey, everyone, now that you're here, we can hold a big slumber party!"
Lily let a hand run down the side of her head and groaned again. "Alex…"
A/N: Short and kinda pointless. O.O Maybe I'll do a continue. That depends on the reviews, though.
