Angel: I will post three times a week now...mostly because I'm almost done with this story! I don't know how this was possible, but it is! And people keep asking me about Leo and Amy's anniversary. Okay, I'm letting you guys know now that it is next chapter! Okay? Good. Anyway, *pulls out a number* 20...I own nothing but my OCs.

The Pig and the Rhino

Leo's POV

I woke to the unusual sound of silence. Smiling sleepily to myself, I roll onto my back, stretching my arms above my head, feeling the satisfying crack of my joints. Everyone must be asleep, tired from yesterday. After getting settled into Ames's house, we had a movie night. It was actually her idea, to make us feel more comfortable with our temporary living arrangements. It definitely worked, it got my mind of the Kraang mutating the city…but not completely. I look at her. She was breathing softly in her sleep. I smile at this. How can she be so happy all the time, with her father mutated and her mother gone? I don't understand it… I shift onto my side, snuggling up to my sleepy girlfriend. She looks so adorable in her sleep. Her brown hair, out of its usual ponytail, curled round her entire body, her delicate face like a flower. It was the perfect shade of brunette. Her eyelashes compliment her sparkly emerald green eyes beautifully. Her figure is graceful and soft in my arms. Her cheeks are round and a bit pink, kissed with her lightly tan skin. Her lips were slightly parted. She matches the description of perfect. This is the girl. The girl I want to be with the rest of my life. And I'm never letting her go. She stirs at my movements, groaning sleepily as I kiss her forehead.

"Morning princess," I murmur. "Ugh, morning," she grumbles, making me chuckle. She was never really a morning person, unlike me. She cuddles up to me, smiling to herself as I wrap my arms around her. "What time is it?" she mumbles. "Nearly ten," I answer, glancing at the kitty-like clock she had on her dresser before burying my face into her hair. I breathe in her scent. I smile. Smells like vanilla. I kiss the top of her head. She tilts her head back and places lazy kisses up my neck, making me groan. She silences me with her lips. My arms tighten around her as I tilt my head, slightly deepening the kiss. She sighs before pulling away. I pout a bit and she giggles. "You'll get more later," she whispers. I huff and she grins. "Kidding," she murmurs.

We lay there for a long time, exploring each other's mouths, blissfully oblivious to the world around us. No, we didn't do anything extreme. It wasn't until a loud crash, followed soon after by Donnie's laughter and Raph's booming voice interrupted us. "Mikey, I'm gonna kill you!" he shouts. Ames groans. I didn't like calling her Amy. Ames was better because it was my nickname for her. "What did Mikey do this time?" she asks. I sigh. "I don't know. Probably another one of his pranks," I answer. She stands up and stretches before walking over to the door. "I'd rather not have to pay for anything that they broke," she mutters and I chuckle. I launch myself out of bed, crossing the room in a split second, and pull her into a kiss, my tongue teasing her a bit. I pull away when Donnie calls for us in a desperate plea for help. She sighs and opens the door. "Coming!" she shouts. I smile.

How I have her in my life, I would never know.

Amy's POV

I hear a knock on my window. Standing up, I open it to find Ann, Jamie, and Lily. "Sup, Amy?" Ann asks, jumping inside. I quickly close my window. "It's been hectic trying to find Jared," I explain. "How's Karai holding up?" Lily asks. I close my eyes. Ever since we told her we weren't able to bring him back, she wasn't feeling like herself. Luckily, she was okay with staying here. She didn't really have much of a choice, either. Splinter wants to make sure she doesn't go after Shredder again. Last time she did, she almost got mutated. Imagine if she was…she'd be a mindless snake. "She's getting there," I reply. "Ames, is that the girls?" I hear from the living room. "Yeah," I answer and I gesture for them to follow me. I introduce Karai to them and we start the forum to search for Jared. "Let's get this meeting started," Leo says. "All right, I got things to do and bad guys to mess up," Raph remarks and I roll my eyes. "Jared's still out there. The last thing he said to Leo and I was the word 'comet'," I explain.

"So what's that supposed to mean? A giant comet's coming? The earth's doomed?" Casey asks. I slap my forehead. How would he know about that? "It feels like it could be a location. Maybe where he's hiding out," April replies. "Donnie's found three locations with the word comet in them. D?" Leo says, looking at Donnie. He places his laptop on the table and we all look. "We've got Comet Cleaners on Bleecker Street here. Earth vs. the Comet Creeps is playing at the Argosy Theater here. And then we've got the Coney Comet roller coaster on Coney Island here. So one of these places could be his lair theoretically," Donnie explains. "Ooh, ooh, ooh! Can I check out the Comet roller coaster? Please? Come on Leo, hook a turtle up," Mikey asks enthusiastically. I roll my eyes. "Donnie, Jamie, and April, you take Comet Cleaners. Raph, Ann, and Casey, you take the movie theater. Me, Ames, and Mikey will check out Coney Island," Leo orders. "Oh, yeah, boy! Thanks Leo," Mikey answers happily. I giggle.

Lily pouts. "What about me and Karai?" she asks. "You two stay here with Splinter. You can keep her company," Leo replies. "Gee, thanks a lot," Karai mutters. "I have just enough retro-mutagen brewed for three doses. Each team gets one. It'll be weeks before I finish more," Donnie explains, giving each team retro-mutagen sprayers. I smile and twirl the sprayer, putting it in my purse. "So in other words, don't waste it. Got you," Raph replies. "Jared's condition is unique. There's no guarantee this will even work on him," he says. "All we can do is try, Donnie," April remarks. She's right. We have to at least try.

Leo, Mikey, and I are running across the rooftops. I stop running and look down at the empty city. I sigh as I remember my father. I wonder where he is…and why he left Florida to come here…I blink back tears. I didn't even get to talk to him…A hand suddenly is on my shoulder. I look up to see Leo. "You can't give up hope, Ames. Your dad is out there somewhere. We'll find everyone and rescue them," he tells me. He always knows what to say…I smile a bit and hug him. "I love you," he whispers into my ear. "I love you too," I whisper back and he kisses my forehead. "You know, our anniversary is coming soon. Just a few more days," he replies with a cheeky grin. I grin at him. "I can't wait," I whisper. He pecks my lips. "You guys, come on! I wanna see Coney Island already!" Mikey exclaims. We roll our eyes. "Alright, alright, we're coming. But you gotta promise you won't goof off," I say. "I swear on my soul," he answers.

"Dude, dudette, this is so cool. Can we go on the Whirlwind? What about the Wheel of Fun? Ooh, can we play Robot Ringtoss? Please?" Mikey replies enthusiastically. I roll my eyes. I knew it wouldn't last long. "You promised you wouldn't goof around Mikey. Seriously," Leo answers, looking around with a flashlight. "I'm pretty sure we can't go on these rides if they're closed. We're here for Jared, we don't want to scare him off," I explain. "Oh. He's got to know we're here by now, right? Why doesn't he just come out?" Mikey asks. I sigh. "Maybe he's not in his right mind. Or maybe he's worried he'll lose control and attack us, especially Karai," I answer. "I feel so bad for them," Leo replies. I look around with a flashlight. "Huh…no sign of him," I murmur. "I hope the guys are having better luck," Leo remarks. We then hear a noise behind us.

"Whoa! Guys, I think I just saw him!" Mikey exclaims, pointing. I look to see Jared run into the haunted house. "He went in the ghost house," I say, pointing. We pursue him into the building. I look around the dark fun house. "Uh, this place isn't so bad," Mikey replies nervously before a fake Frankenstein jumps at him. He screams. I look in boredom. Really? "It's just a painted board," Leo answers before another one pops out. Leo and Mikey scream, Mikey jumping into my arms and Leo clutching me. I roll my eyes. "That didn't scare me at all," Leo says with a scoff. "Have you been working out?" Mikey asks before I drop him. "You guys are supposed to be ninjas," I murmur as I wave my flashlight around.

We spot Jared again, and we chase him into the House of Mirrors. "Ames, Mikey, don't let him escape," Leo orders. We run through the hall of mirrors. I see him in one of the mirrors. "Found him!" I explain before running into the mirror. "Ow," I mutter, rubbing my nose. "I got him," Mikey shouts before running into a mirror. "He's right here," Leo exclaims before he runs into the mirror as well. I giggle before we run outside. Jared starts to run. "Jared! Jared, we want to help you," Mikey says. "Don't you remember us?" I ask before he jumps on Mikey. "Aah! Get it off, get it off! He's trying to eat me!" he exclaims. I step in front of Jared. "Jared, it's us. It's me, Amy. Try and remember. Focus," I soothe him. He looks up at me and gets off Mikey. He pats my head. "Amy," he simply says. I smile at this. Finally, we can go back home and Karai will be happy again. "We want to help you, Jared. Can you transform back?" Leo replies. One of his ears twitch before he runs away. "Jared!" Leo and I shout before I hear something as well. Mikey, Leo, and I hide.

"Are you here yet, Steranko? What's the deal, yo?" I hear. Oh no…not him, anyone but him…I actually liked it better when the Pulverzier showed up twice, but Anton Zeck? I shudder at the memory of him flirting with me. "Da, comrade, look behind you," I hear a Russian voice answer. What are they doing here of all places? "Whoo! Rhino legs very fast. Good workout. Better than the Pilates," Steranko says. I raise an eyebrow. Rhino? I peek to see a mutant warthog and rhino. The rhino was carrying Raph, Ann, and Casey, who were unconscious. I gasp quietly and hide behind Leo, covering my mouth. They got mutated? They must want revenge against us… "You can't do this! We have friends who are gonna kick your butts!" April exclaims. I peek to see a van. She must be in there…Steranko throws the three into the van and closes it. "So, other turtles and ice girl are here? Da?" he asks. "Turtles! Pinkie! Come out and play!" Zeck shouts. I growl under my breath. "If you surrender, the humans go free," Zeck hollers. "Pinkie promise," I hear from Steranko.

I look at Leo and Mikey in disbelief. "Forget it. We don't trust you dudes," Mikey answers. "You has no choice. In five second, I pop humans' head like the blueberries," Steranko replies. While Zeck counts down, Leo makes some gestures to Mikey, silently telling him to stall for time, and he nods. Leo grabs my hand and we sneak around the two mutants. "Okay, don't hurt them! Let's talk this over. Um, what do we call you guys, anyway?" I hear Mikey say. Leo and I approach the van. The rhino and warthog mutants look at each other. "You need mutant names. Um, and it just so happens I am awesome at naming stuff," Mikey replies. I keep watch while Mikey tries to come up with names. "How about Pork Rind and Chili Cheese Fry?" Mikey asks uncertainly after looking at a food stand. I mentally slap my forehead. Really?

"Nyet, nyet. Not so good names," Steranko answers. I roll my eyes. "How about…Sprinkles and Hot Sauce?" Mikey asks again. "Nyet," Steranko replies. I pinch my nose and shake my head. I gesture to Mikey to try again so Leo can pick the lock. "Then how about, um, Bebop and Rocksteady?" Mikey asks. "Is that what you do? Randomly name enemies based on stuff you see around you?" Zeck asks. "Hey, it's not so bad. Kind of like the Rocksteady," Rocksteady says. I roll my eyes again and turn to Leo. "Hurry up," I whisper. "I'm working on it, Ames," he whispers back. A hand is suddenly on my shoulder and I gasp. "Aha! You think you can escape my goggles, son? I saw you two a mile away," Bebop says. I stiffen. How could he do that? "Hey baby," I hear from my ear. I kick him away. "Never do that again!" I shout. "No one can face…the Bebop and Rocksteady!" Rocksteady exclaims, clenching his fists. Bebop didn't seem to like his new name. "I am not going to be called Bebop, got me? That is the dumbest name ever!" he exclaims. Leo and I manage to sneak on top of a food stand.

I see something in Bebop's hand. Oh no… "He's got the retro-mutagen!" Mikey exclaims. I must have dropped it! "Retro-mutagen, huh? I'm wondering what it'll do to mutant turtles," Bebop replies, pointing the blaster at Mikey. "Don't do it, Bebop," Mikey says. "Stop calling me that name, fool! I hate that name! I hate that name! Time for the next mutation, turtle," Bebop answers, pointing the blaster at Mikey again. Leo and I look at each other and nod before we jump down, hitting Bebop. He drops the blaster to the floor. "Mikey!" we shout. We hide behind a stand. "Nyet! Bebop, wait. Think with the brain for once. Retro-mutagen can turn us human again," Rocksteady explains. "Wow, I didn't even think of that! Let's do the dizzle! And stop calling me Bebop, yo!" Bebop says, about to use the retro-mutagen on himself. Rocksteady takes it from him, however. "Nyet. Why do you get to be using it?" he asks.

"You did not just-"

"Give it back."

"I had it first!"

"Nyet, nyet, nyet!"

As they fight over who gets to use the retro-mutagen, I slap my forehead. "We need a better distraction," Leo whispers to Mikey and I. Something jumps down in front of the two fighting mutants. It was Jared! "Huh?" Bebop asks before Rocksteady is sprayed in the eyes with spit. "Aah!" he shouts, covering his eyes. He crushes the blaster without looking. Dang it…at least we have two more… Jared runs into the fun house again. "Come back here, monkey boy!" Bebop shouts, chasing after the monkey mutant. Leo and I unlock the van. "Leo! Amy!" April shouts. We jump inside. "Sorry it took so long, cuz," I reply. "We'll have you free in no time," Leo finishes, and we cut April free from a purple sticky substance with knifes. The others start to wake up. "Thanks, guys," Donnie mumbles. "Oh, my aching brain. What hit me?" Raph says, holding his head in pain. "It was that huge rhino dude," Casey answers. Jamie gasps and points. "Right there!" she exclaims. We look to see Rocksteady starting to get his eyesight back. "Turtles and ice girl free?" he asks before growling. He charges at us and we dodge.

"What do we do, Leo?" Ann asks. "You five go after Jared. Me, Ames, Raph, and Mikey will take Rocksteady," Leo orders. Ann, Jamie, April, Donnie, and Casey nod before heading to the fun house. Rocksteady stands up. "Hey, rhino man! You want some retro-mutagen?" Raph calls out before we climb to the roller coaster. "Come out, lowly cowards!" he shouts as we hide. "Come and get us, Rocksteady!" Mikey shouts as we run on the tracks of the roller coaster. "Hey, Rocksteady. Looking for some retro-mutagen?" I ask as Raph waves the blaster in his hand. "All aboard the turtle coaster!" Mikey exclaims, and throws a shruiken at the start button. The roller coaster starts and we jump in the car. "Whoo!" Mikey shouts. I was up in front, my hair flying everywhere. "Here he comes," I hear from Leo. I turn to see Rocksteady running behind us. My eyes widen.

"Doesn't this thing go any faster?" Raph asks. Rocksteady somehow gets in front of us and slams his fists down, making us flying around. We start to fight him. "Eat it, rhino!" Raph shouts. "Aah!" Mikey shouts as Rocksteady grabs him. "Mikey!" we all exclaim. "You will give me retro-mutagen now!" Rocksteady demands. Our eyes widen and we look at each other. "Turtles and ice girl, give retro-mutagen," Rocksteady repeats. Leo jumps down. "Put him down first. I don't trust you," he answers. "I has your word you give?" Rocksteady asks. "You has my word," Leo answers. Rocksteady looks at him before throwing Mikey. I make a giant ice pillow appear under him and he lands on it. "Thanks, bro," he replies. "Retro-mutagen now!" Rocksteady shouts. "You want it? Take it!" Leo replies before throwing the retro-mutagen. However, Raph swoops down and catches it. "No! You gave word!" Rocksteady shouts. "But I didn't!" Raph exclaims. I smirk as I see something heading towards him. "Hey, horn head," I yell before pointing to the car coming towards him. He turns around and I jump down from the roller coaster. "Booyakasha!" Mikey exclaims as the car hits him, sending him flying into Bebop. Yes! "Everyone okay?" I ask. "I think I only sprained a leg or two," Casey answers wearily. Then I remembered someone.

"Jared, I know you're here," I exclaim, looking around. "Come out," Leo replies. Jared peeks his head out before crawling over to us. "You don't have to be afraid anymore. We can help you," I explain. Leo holds up the retro-mutagen. "With this," he answers. Jared closes his eyes and bows his head, giving Leo a silent answer to spray him. Leo does so and when the smoke clears…Jared still looked the same. "It doesn't work…" I whisper softly. "Donnie?" Leo asks, turning to him. "I told you, guys. Jared is special. He's not a normal mutant," Donnie answers. "So it was all for nothing?" Raph asks, crossing his arms. I shake my head. "It doesn't matter. You can come with us, Jared. You can see Karai again," I reply. He shakes his head. "No. Too dangerous. My mind…is going," he answers, turning around. "Then-then why did you want us to find you?" Leo asks in disbelief.

He turns around, looking at all of us. "Wanted to say goodbye…to all of you," he says before jumping into the ocean. "No!" Leo screams. "Jared!" I shout. We failed…I look to where he disappeared. "We'll figure out a way to help you, Jared. I promise," I whisper, a tear falling down my cheek. "Guys, Bebop and Rocksteady are gone," April says. I look to see that the two were indeed gone. "Ah, let them go," Ann answers. "The next time I see them, they won't walk away," Raph finishes. "Come on, team. Let's go home," Mikey replies. We all start to walk back to my home, sad because of our loss.

Angel: More trivia!

When Bebop says the line "Turtles, come out and play", this is a reference to the movie "The Warriors"

The episode of Crognard the Barbarian references He-Man with Crognard saying "By the power of Lognard, I have the energy!"

This is a play on He-Man's catchphrase: "By the power of Greyskull, I have the power!"

When Bebop threatens to spray Mikey with the retro-mutagen, he says "It's time for the next mutation." This is a reference to the series "Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation" that appeared on FOX.

Bye!
