I do not own TMNT.. Leigh, Riley, and Koda are all mine! Please enjoy!
Mikey and Riley were quiet the rest of the way to the twin's house. Without their comments, there was very little conversation at all. The turtles made sure they made it inside okay and returned to their lair. It wasn't a surprise when Donnie wasn't there, but they knew he was still with April. They fell asleep before he got back. In the morning, all four turtle woke up and got on with their duties. They had early morning training with Master Splinter and training after that thanks to Leo. It was still early in the day, so they each did their own things. Donnie, still happy with his first kiss and make out session, was working on a new invention. He got the idea of creating jet-packs the last time he and his brothers tangoed with Shredder. Mikey was still a little embarrassed that Raph told everyone about his secret crush. Trying to get his mind off of it, he went boarding around the sewers. Leo was meditating with Master Splinter as they listened to calming music. Raph knew Mikey was still mad at him and that made him quite pleased with himself. He was in the practice room throwing his Sais at a target, getting a bull's eye every time.
Around lunchtime, the four turtles got a little hungry and decided to go out for pizza. Without a second thought, they put on their disguises and went to their favorite pizza parlor. Pulling their hats down to cover their face, they walked inside. It was filled with a couple kids from a nearby school off for lunch. Forgetting the incident the night before Mikey asked aloud. "I wonder if April and the twins come here at lunch." Leo and Raph started laughing causing Mikey to blush while Donnie looked at his brothers in confusion.
"Mikey has a certain girl on the brain." Leo explained to the purple clad turtle.
"I do not!" he was quick to defend himself.
Raph took a deep breath as he calmed himself down. "Face it Michelangelo, you are in love with Riley."
Donnie had finally caught on and started laughing himself. Raph and Leo joined him once again as Mikey turned a dark red.
The young adult behind the counter couldn't help but listen in on the four brothers conversation. As soon as they walked in she knew they were the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles, her new boss trained her to identify them right away. When he taught her to do that, she realized they were actually regulars at that pizza shop. Knowing they were going to order four pizzas, she started making the dough for each, slipping a sleeping pill in each one.
Once the four settled down they made their way to counter to place their order. "We'll have four medium pizzas please." Leo ordered.
"Kay, darling." Leigh nodded. "What would you like on those?" She got to work, flattening the dough as each turtle placed his order.
"I'll have a cheese pizza please." Leo ordered himself.
Mikey had forgotten about his embarrassment again as he ordered his own. "A pepperoni, easy on the pepper, lot of oni please."
"you do know that pepperoni is one thing right?" Donnie asked the youngest.
"What are you trying to say Donn?" was all Mikey said.
With a sigh, Donn ordered his own. "I'll get a Hawaiian please."
"I'll go with deluxe." Raph stated simply. He had a bad feeling about Leigh. Although they were regulars and saw her working there often, they still didn't know who she was. Raph wondered if this was Leigh and if she knew who they were.
"Okay dearies, find a seat and I'll bring them to you once their done." She showed no signs of knowing but that proved nothing.
The turtles had found a seat and had waited a couple minutes before Leo realized Raph was glaring across the parlor to the lady at the counter. "You know Raph, it isn't nice to stare."
"Oh seems to me like Raphie boy also had a crush on a girl." Mikey tried making the red clad turtle blush but failed why Raph turned his head to glair at the youngest.
"I don't think Raph is staring in admiration, Mikey," Donnie stated.
"You bet I'm not." He turned back to Leigh behind the counter. "Im watching our food, make sure nothing funny happens to it."
"What do you mean?" Leo asked.
"It might be far fetched, but what if that Leigh? And what if she knew we were us somehow. I mean if she is actually working for the Shredder he would have trained her to spot us out in a crowd. And if all that was true, what if she tried doing something to our pizzas?"
"Uh that's a lot of what ifs." Mikey rubbed his head.
Donnie nodded. "Yeah Raph. That kind of seems like a long shot. I mean, that could be somebody totally different."
Leo had looked over his shoulder and back to his brothers. "I think Raph might actually have a point though. It may be a lot of what ifs, but a ninja has to be ready for anything."
With the silent orders given, the four brothers watched in silence as the young woman made their pizzas. She added everything in order and with grace. As they watched they realized she wasn't going to add anything extra or unwanted on their pizzas. Still they watched until she put them in the oven, then again as she walked them over.
"Here ya go. One cheese, deluxe, pepperoni and Hawaiian. Enjoy." With that Leigh walked away with a smirk on her face. She knew within five minutes they would be out cold and she could take them to the kitchen.
Each turtle watched as she made her way back to the kitchen, then they checked out their pizzas. "Leo, if you ask me, this pizza look normal, smells normal and I bet it tastes normal too." Mikey pointed out. "Can we please just eat them?"
Donnie had to agree with Mikey. "He's right Leo. Raph did have a lot of 'what ifs' there and she seemed pretty friendly."
Raph finished his double check and shrugged. "I did have a lot of 'what ifs' I think they might actually be okay. Plus, nobody actually saw her do anything to them."
"Okay, but to eat it too fast. She almost seemed too friendly this time." Leo allowed his brothers to eat, but he checked his over once more, pulling the cheese off the top.
Donnie, Mikey and Raph all took a large bite out of their pizzas, savouring the taste. Mikey was right and not one flavor was off. The dough seemed a little floury, but it happened every now and then. "Come on Leo! It's fine!" Mikey tried convincing the oldest. "Raph was just paranoid."
Leigh smiled as she watched the one she identified as Leonardo take his first bite. Although it was small, it was still enough to knock him out, just a little later than his brothers.
Back at the table, the turtles had finished their pizzas and were relaxing when Donnie and Mikey started falling asleep. It wasn't long before Raph and Leo started yawning and asked for the bill.
"This is strange." Leo said to himself.
"Whatcha mean?" Raph asked.
"I mean, it's the middle of the day and we're all yawning." Leo replied.
Raph laughed and was joking around. "It's almost like she did put some sort of sleeping pills in the pizzas."
That was when the two oldest looked at each other and realized what happened.
"The Dough!" They said together in a frantic whisper. Realizing the bill wasn't coming in hopes to give them enough time to fall asleep, Leo and Raph grabbed Mikey and Donnie and bolted for the door.
They turned down the first alley they saw and set the sleeping brothers on the ground. After trying multiple times to wake them, they found it to be useless. "It's no use." Leo yawned again as Raph's eyes slowly drifted close. "They're not waking up, and we're falling asleep."
By the time he finished, Raph was on the ground snoring lightly. Leo then fell asleep as he hoped they were far enough away to not get caught.
