I do not own the TMNT.


Chapter Next; Disinterest


Leo watched as Mikey sadly bit into a potato chip. There was no joy in his artery clogging snack. Mikey neither wolfed the junk food down in handfuls, nor tipped the bag over his head and enjoyed the starchy, salty taste of chips right out of the bag.

He reached into the bag, withdrew a single chip and then sadly bit into it. His despondency over the loss of his games was clear in the fact that it took him three bites to finish the chip, and very few crumbs fell to the table.

Leo figured his brother could use some encouragement. "Cheer up Mikey, I'm sure that after a few days, when Kit's sure you've learned your lesson, you'll get your games back!"

A half-eaten potato chip crashed to the table. "A…few…days?" Mikey stuttered. "A…"His left eyelid twitched, "Few…" The right on twitched, "…days?!" Both eyes widened until Leo was sure the mask would slide off his eyelids and onto the whites. "I CAN'T LAST THAT LONG!" He screeched, suddenly jumping up from the table and running into the tunnels calling "Zelda! Zelda!"

Leo watched Mikey race out of the lair.

A moment later Kit sat down at the table with a fresh cup of tea in hand. "Finally, I thought he'd never leave."

Her stealth was rewarded with an amused smirk from Leo, "You do realize you'll have to face him eventually, don't you?"

Kit flinched as she sipped at her tea, "I was kind of hoping to stay in denial about that."

Leo chuckled to himself and returned to his book. "First Donnie, now Mikey, I wonder who you're planning against next?"

His companion watched Leo as he turned the page, carefully holding the cover so as not to crease the spine. You don't wanna' know. She thought cryptically.

The doors of the elevator opened and Raph came in. For some reason he no longer wore his mask when he worked on his bike. In fact he was tying it back on while he walked across the lair. As he passed Donnie's lab a strange foom and a large puff of grey smoke billowing out of the Lab caused Raph to drop into a defensive position for a moment before Donnie assured him it was alright. Raph then continued into the kitchen.

Just as he passed the table Mikey came streaking through the room, "Zelda! Ze-elda!" He called before running out of the lair again.

"Mikey's beginnin' to sound like that one loser from that sappy romance movie April made us watch." Raph grumbled.

Kit crawled out from her hiding place under the table, "Yeah, sorry about that." She apologized.

Leo turned the page on his book again. Raph watched the way Kit's eyes followed Leo's every movement, right down to the way the her eyelids narrowed slightly as an idea struck her. Raph wasn't sure what the cat had on her mind, but seeing the ginsu master freak out would be worth the extra chaos in the lair.


Okay, another short chapter, but at least it's another chapter!

Reviews are the bread and butter that go with Kit and Leo's tea!
