Skippin' a bit. Don't need to see Friday's boring stuff.
ON TO THE CHAPTER!
After a long Friday night, it's almost morning and the guys are still up. Leo had trained a full hour after the others and is currently fighting sleep on the couch. Raph had claimed a bean bag and is reading one of his comics, also past the normal point of tiredness. Mikey, who seemed to have only half his usual energy, which is still a lot, is happily sketching for the murals at the counter. Spike isn't too far away, eating a leaf.
Donnie, on the other hand, had a cup of coffee after they got back, and was putting his time to something useful. He was looking for something for them all to eat this very early Saturday morning. But, other than cereal, leftovers of Mikey's pizza, and Master Yoshi's noodles, there wasn't much to go on. Donnie sighs. "I'll call Mr. Murikami. What do you-"
"Pizza gyoza," the others grumble. Master Yoshi walks out of the dojo, done meditating.
"Master Yoshi," Donnie bows.
"You may, although I'm not so sure he'll be up at this hour."
"I'm sure he'll be up for us," Donnie hopes as he dials the number. He orders pizza gyoza for each of his brothers and grabs his bike to get it.
All of a sudden, Mikey yawns. "Dudes, ugh, we've been up all night. All I can think to draw is sheep and pillows."
"What?" Raph asks, annoyed, "No pizza?" Mikey lets his forehead fall onto the counter.
"I'm too tired for pizza..." he moans, "..It's terrible..." Raph let's it go, too tired to tease his younger brother. He nods sleepily for a few moments before he leans his head back on the bean bag, snoring.
Leo gave up staying awake as soon as Donnie asked about food. The living room fades away to a grassy knoll, where the shade of a few trees makes the green underfoot speckled and mystical. He's walking under the branches, Chloe at his side. She's wearing a turquoise and blue dress that is perfect for her. Her hair is in a bun, up away from her beautiful face. She laughs at an intelligible joke he says.
Then from the shadows, ugly Riphals* with ray guns appear. Leo pushes Chloe behind his back as he takes out his own ray gun, looking a lot like Captain Ryan's, and shoots them all. One by one, the Riphals are zapped into thin air. "My hero!" Chloe says, hugging him. Fireworks go off somewhere past the horizon. Leo keeps her close.
"I love you- Ow!" Leo looks up, out of his dream.
"Quit yer mumblin' Leo!" Raph groans after throwing the pillow. "Ugh, can't get any shleep. Tell ma when Donnie's back." Raph rolls over and trudges to his room.
He barely makes it to his bed before he's asleep. His dark ceiling fades into a city alley. He's fighting off Foot bots left and right, not seeing an end to the battle. Then, suddenly, Chloe punches her way through. She is wearing a light red, not light enough to be pink, bandana. Her armor is silver, fitting her slim form perfectly. As she arrives the Foot start to thin out, but as they do, other villains come.
Kraang Tech droids, master assassins, and any other evil doers that the team has ever had to face. Raph punches the last one and wraps his arm around her waist. Her face is perfect, never even getting one scratch, even though Raph feels like he had just broken through a wall with his head.
"Be ma babe, Chloe, and yer life'll never be boring again," he says. She smiles and leans in for a kiss. He does as well, but then the floor smacks him awake. "Hey!"
Leo stands over him, arms crossed. "I was going to tell you Donnie's back."
"An' now?" Raph asks, rubbing the knee he landed on. Leo just stares him down.
"'Chloe..?' 'Be my babe?'" Leo asks, hearing everything Raph had said in his sleep.
"So what? It isn't li-" Raph studies how Leo is glaring at him. 'That's his I'm-protecting-something-so-back-off gaze.' Raph smirks. "Wait a secon'. You like her too, don't ya?" He catches Leo off guard.
"What?" Raph gets off the floor.
"'I want to tell you something, I love you..' Chloe?" Raph recites from Leo sleeping. Leo doesn't reply. ".. Who's tutoring you, Leo?"
"What were you really doing at the gym?" Leo counters quickly. He walks over to Raph and pokes him in the chest. "You usually come back from the gym with bloody knuckles."
"..I don't hafta explain myself to you." Raph pushes past him towards the door. "I'm hungry."
Now they know! Kinda.. they have their suspicions.
AM I the only one that feels the tension mounting? I think it isn't just me. (I hope it isn't just me..)
*Chapter one, Leo talks about the episode of Space Heroes. He mentions these guys.
And the updates for this one is mainly the dreams. Now, should I italicize them or leave them be? (Someone had said Leo's sounded like Dave's dream from Despicable Me 2, so I changed it. But as you can see, I left Space Heroes in it.)
