I don't own the turtles, but I do own Chloe.

Enjoy.


"Hya!" Casey blocks Raph's blow and counters terribly with his hockey stick. The furious teen had requested they spar, a few miles from the house, on the rooftops.

"Whoa! Dude! I'm not as- hey!" The black haired teen yells as Raph forces him to release the stick and breaks it in half over his knee. Casey stares with his blue eyes at the wood in Raph's hands, before putting his hands on his head. They touch the black and white bandana he always wears. "Urg, that was my last stick, man! What will I tell my coach?"

"Sorry," Raph mutters. He turns away, dropping the wood.

"No you aren't. Dude," Casey follows him and turns Raph around, "What's bugging you?"

"It's Leo!" Raph lets out. Casey sighs.

"Did he take the last slice of pizza again?" Raph looks at him like he's crazy.

"What!? No! For tha last half-a-week, he's been fakin' stupidity so Chloe won't have time to go to the gym with me. Or mayba he is that bad in Geo, but it don't mean-"

"Who's Chloe?"

"The new girl." Casey gives him a blank face. "She's been going to school for the past two weeks.. Oh, wait. You go to the middle school. My bad," Raph teases. Casey had to be held back a grade, still in Mikey's class.

"Hey! School stinks! I don't know why you still attend."

"Dad," Raph answers. Casey stops talking. He knows about the Ninja Turtles' missions. He's even been on a few. So he definitely knows how Master Yoshi would react to Raph dropping out.

"..So, Leo needs tutoring?" Raph scoffs.

"Yeah, in Geometry." Casey tries to piece his stick back together.

"So, and I'm just thinking out loud here, why doesn't Professor Gappy teach him?"

"Donnie doesn't know. Neither does Mikey." Raph smirks, "But I know just how to change that."


Raph, Leo, and Donnie are all in the Lair after school the next day. Raph stares Leo down as he packs a few non-tutoring-related things in with his Geometry. "So, Leo, Where ya headed?"

"The park." Leo walks past him.

"Whateva, don't let me screw up your tutoring session," Raph says, catching Donnie's attention.

"Leo," the oldest teen freezes, "you need help with homework?" Leo looks at Raph, a fire licking at his blue eyes. But Raph just shrugs under the glare. He'd look completely innocent, if he wasn't smirking.

"You didn't know?" He asks Donnie. Leo shakes his head vigorously, dread replacing the anger. "Fearless here has been having math trouble." Leo sighs, not out of relief, but like someone gave him up for breaking a vase and now he has to face punishment. He turns around and internally cringes when he sees Donnie.

"Leo? Why didn't you tell me? Bring your chair over and we'll get started."

"Uh, Donnie," Leo says carefully, "I already have a tutor." Donnie looks up at him from clearing a space.

"Oh," he displays the most depressing, vulnerable, and innocent face that not even Mikey could pull off. It sends Leo on a complete guilt trip.

"Okay! It's alright Donnie. You can tutor me." Donnie nods, still sad. Leo walks over and sets his stuff down. "I'm sorry I didn't come to you." Donnie feels a little better and gets over it after a few moments.

Raph smiles. He knew using Donnie's genuine drive to help his brothers and Leo's dedication to keeping them all happy would work. He picks up his training gear, looking at Leo. He's staring over Donnie, who dropped his calculator. Raph waves and drops down the trapdoor.


Beep!

"Hey Leo, it's Chloe. Where are you? You are never late. I thought you were just getting one thing ... Ugh, just call me back." Chloe hangs up her cell phone and checks her watch.

"What're ya doin' here all by yerself?" Chloe looks up. Raph is standing across from her, his gym bag over his shoulder.

"Nothing, I guess." She packs her textbook away.

"I was on my way to the gym. Wanna join me?"

"..Okay, I don't think he's going to show." Chloe dials Leo's number again.

=Beep! Captain Leo's log. I have been stranded with my damaged ship. Quick! Issue a rescue mission!... Or leave a message here, after the beep. Beep!=

"Leo, I'll be at the gym. Raph came by, unlike someone." She hangs up.


Leo heard the message. In fact, he heard them all. But Donnie wouldn't let him explain to her about the situation. "You can tell her at school." He's determined to help Leo get this right, no distractions. The exact same reason Leo didn't tell him. Leo asks about an equation and has to ask for the English explanation. "Leo, how are you doing on..."

'I can't back out now, I'm stuck,' Leo sulks.


Raph assigns Chloe to do a few katas and throws himself at a punching bag. After a few minutes, he feels a hand on his shoulder. "Enough Raph. You'll break it," Chloe says, meaning it. He drops his fists. "Wanna spar?" She suggests.

"Sure," he says, smirking. They ready themselves on a mat. She attacks, but Raph easily counters. He stays on defense, letting her practice.

"Come on Raoh, hit me!" She taunts. He listens and sweeps her feet out from under her. She starts to get up, but he pins her down. "Good one." Then she notices how close they are.

"Gotta keep up," he replies.

"Raph," she squirms, "Can you get off me?" His eyes widen and he gets up.

'Were we really that close?' Raph shakes his head, 'Keep it together Raph. Don't think like that.'

"Want to go again?"

"Yeah."

"Only this time, let me up."

"You got it dudette." Chloe rolls her eyes and they start again.


"You got this Leo, last question," Donnie coaxes. Leo finishes the problem. Donnie corrects it. "You are free to go." Leo gets up and moves casually. But once he's down the trapdoor, he bolts for the stairs.

Raph comes in right at that moment. Leo continues on his path, ready to connect his fist with Raph's smug face. But Master Yoshi walks in. He slows down and takes a detour to the kitchen. "Leonardo, can you please pick up Michelangelo from the middle school. He called."

"Hai, sensei," Leo says, grabbing the keys.


Leo parks in front of the middle school. He walks in, the lights still on. "Mikey!" He calls. The curly haired boy pokes his head around a corner.

"Hey dude! ..You like?" Leo was staring at the walls. They are covered in colorful murals. Some had pizza related themes, but if the teacher approved, it must be okay. It wasn't anything too extreme.

"Yeah, nice job."

"Oh oh! Come look at this!" Leo follows him down a few halls. "I put us in here!" There they are, turtle forms like in his comics. The four are on top of a building looking out into the distance.

"Awesome. Time to go home buddy." Mikey grabs his backpack and climbs into the front.

"So, how was your day?" He asks, eager for an answer.

Leo sighs. "Rough."


Casey's finally in this. Yeah, is he OOC? 'Cause I see him as the skip school, drop out type of person.

Hehe, the Revenge of the Raph!

So my question is..

What will Leo do to change Raph's plans? Hehe...

The change in here is mainly their backstory. Who likes it?
