Chapter 10

Jess and Mason sat on the couch cuddled together watching whatever interested them. Which for some reason was a marathon of '1000 ways to die'

"Why are we watching this again?" Mason asked

"Cause we saw someone's boss push their employee into a bath of hydrochloric acid. After that it was all you, you're the one with the remote" Jessica answered

Mason looked down at his hand and saw the remote "Oh yeah… well some of them are… interesting"

"I agree that's why I didn't say anything"

"Hey you two" Mikey showed up behind them "What are you watching?" he looked to the multiple televisions and tilted his head to the side "And why are those guys snorting fire ants?"

"1000 ways to die and I have no idea"

"Well… alright then. You're nuts"

"Thank you"

Alex and Dimitri walked into the lair, but without their weapons.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Mikey asked

"Nothing" Alex said "Just stopping by to visit"

"And to tell you what we have planned for all of you" Dimitri finished

"And that would be?"

"Go get the others and meet us in the kitchen"

"Um… okay"

Mikey stood up just as a woman on TV got sliced in half by some kind of construction tool.

"Oh gross" Mikey made a face

"That looked like something straight out of the Saw movies" Jessica commented

"I know wasn't it awesome" Mason said

And with that Mikey left to go find his brothers, his wife and his sisters.

"Alright you two what do you have planned" Mikey asked once everyone was in the kitchen

"We were thinking about taking you guys out to go clubbing" Dimitri started "As an anniversary celebration from your closest friends"

"What?" Leo asked

"Oh please don't say it like you've never gone clubbing before"

"That's not what I'm saying. I am saying that it's been a while"

"And besides our anniversary isn't for like another six months" Vanessa reminded

"Fine pre-anniversary celebration"

"Well, I'm all for it" Sierra said "But what about the kids?"

"I could babysit, if you want" someone said from the doorway. All heads turned to Mason and Xavier, who was sitting on Mason's shoulders "Sorry I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but if you need someone to watch them I'll do it"

"Really?" Melanie asked

Mason nodded

"You sure kid? They can be a handful" Raph warned

"It's the least I can do. Make up for the way I acted"

"Mason, you've already apologized for that. Multiple times" Don reminded

"I know, but you haven't been out at all except for your nightly patrols and that's no fun" he walked over to the fridge and pulled out a can of soda and an apple juice pack for Xavier

"Hey, I resent that" Raph said stealing his soda

"Well, you're weird, that's different"

"Shut up"

"Look" he smirked "Go out and have a good time, get drunk, work on your project"

Don raised an eye ridge "What project?"

His smirk turned slightly devilish "Your pleasure making project" all adults eyes grew wide and Raph choked on his soda "Dude"

"What? It's the way of life. You have needs" he shrugged and looked up "What do you think Spike?" Mason used his new nickname for his little cousin "Do you want me to babysit?"

"Yes" he answered quickly

"And you want Mommy and Daddy to go out?"

"Yes"

"Are you just going along with whatever I say?"

"Yes" he said with a giggle

He shrugged "Works for me" he grabbed another soda out of the fridge and walked out

"Well, that was awkward" Vanessa said while rubbing the back of her neck

"But you gotta admit, he has a point" Dimitri said "You haven't been out at all since you had kids"

"Now's your chance"

Leo thought long and hard about this "Well…"

"They'd love to go" Mason called from the living room which was followed by Jessica's giggles "They wanna have fun"

"You know, I'm the father" Mikey called back

"Don't care, you're going" Mason insisted

"Why are you so bossy?"

"I don't know, I blame Leo"

"Hey, I'm not bossy" Leo joined the conversation

"Actually Leo, you kinda are" Raph mentioned quickly

"Anyways" Alex chimed in "I think it's been decided"

"Yeah, by a teenager and a five year old"

"Well, you guys didn't disagree with them so you must want to go"

"I honestly don't think we have a choice" Don said

"No, you don't" Mason called again

"I guess we're going then"

"Good, then be ready by eight tonight, got it"

"Alright"

Later on that night

"Now are you sure you can handle them on your own kid" Raph asked just to be sure dressed in his hoodie disguise "Just the twins alone can drive you crazy"

"Don't worry it's covered"

"And Takashi and Danielle don't like sleeping when they're supposed to" Leo warned wearing the same as Raph

"I know and I have something planned for them"

"Alright, if you're absolutely positive"

Sierra came down stairs followed by Melanie, Paige and Vanessa. Paige was wore an orange, short cocktail halter dress and black strappy dress high heels. Melanie wore a red one shoulder strap mini dress with a pair of red pumps with a bow on the front. Sierra wore a blue fitted strapless mini dress and a simple pair of peep toe heels. Vanessa wore a purple dress with a black belt wrapped around her and party rhinestone heels. All heads turned to Mason who suddenly screamed in horror.

"What? What is it?" Raph asked when he hid behind him

"It's a sign of the apocalypse. Paige is wearing a dress"

"Oh brother" Paige said

Mason laughed and hopped out from behind Raph "Just kidding, you all look fabulous or in the words of Rico Ramirez you look fierce" he turned toward the lab and called "Guys, they're ready"

Don and Mikey came out of the lab fully dressed in their disguises and ready to go.

"Why do I feel like you're trying to get rid of us?" Mikey asked

"Cause I am… duh" Mason crossed his arms "And my cousins are totally on my side. Right guys?"

"Right" all five said at the same time

"Now, get rid of them" RJ and Kylie latched onto one of their parents hands and pulled them toward the door "Time to go" Kylie said. Danielle pushed Leo out the door while Takashi pushed Sierra out. Xavier worked on both of his parents and Mason led Mikey and Paige to the door.

"Okay okay we're going" Leo chuckled "You two be good now okay"

"We will Daddy" Danielle answered for both her and her brother

"That goes for the both of you too" Raph said

"We know Dad" the twins groaned

"And I'm pretty sure we don't have to remind you right X" Don asked

"No you don't" Xavier said "Now go"

"Okay, we're gone" Vanessa said.

And with quick goodbye kisses all the adults left and the kids were left alone. Mason glanced at the five children and smiled "It's party time"

Around 4:30 that same night

Mason was on the couch watching TV, gently rubbing the back of his sleeping cousin's head. After getting the kids to sleep, about an hour later Danielle came downstairs saying she had a nightmare. Mason let her sleep next to him. Just as he was about to fall asleep himself when the lair doors opened and familiar voices were heard.

"Hey guys, did you have fun?"

"Oh man, so much fun" Sierra answered "Hey, what happened to Danielle?" she then asked when she noticed her daughter

"She said she had a nightmare so I let her stay with me"

"Oh boy"

"I'm guessing this happens often

"It's been happening a lot lately" he walked over to pick up Dani, but Mason stopped him

"I got her" he stood picking Danielle up in his arms

"Thanks Mason"

"No problem"

"When did they go to sleep?" Mikey asked

"Um… about two hours after you guys left"

Leo stared in disbelief "How did you manage that?"

"That's my little secret Leo" he then noticed Don and Vanessa helping a stumbling Melanie and Raph upstairs "Dude are they drunk?"

"Oh yeah"

"This should be good" he headed toward the stairs "Goodnight guys"

"Goodnight"

"Oh yeah" he turned to face them "If you're hungry for some reason, there's leftover baked ziti in the fridge" he continued up the stairs without another word

"Wow, he's good" Sierra commented

"That's my boy" Mikey smiled proudly
