No A/N this time, except for a big thanks and a big please review!

Chapter 21

Waverly was pacing her room, talking to her mom over the phone, while Mikey sat on the bed, bored out of his mind.

"Sì Mami sarò presto a casa...sì...sì...no non ci sono ragazzi qui, ad eccezione di Casey...sì, io stare lontano da lui...no non ho lasciare la luce in la mia camera...sì, di ' zia Maria mi ha detto ciao e darle il mio amore e le scuse per la mia assenza...ti amo anch'io...sì, io vi vedrò quando torno a casa...baci e abbracci... dire papà mi manca troppo...ok... eh? Oh, sì, ho portato il mio coltello, non ti preoccupare non dovrò usarla...va bene, ti amo...ciao." She spoke quickly, only pausing when her mother was talking. Mikey tried to keep up with her, but failed miserably.

Translation: Yes Mami I will be home soon...yes...yes...no there are no boys here, except for Casey...yes, I will stay away from him...no I did not leave the light in my room on...yes, tell aunt Maria I said hello and give her my love and apologies for my absence...I love you too...yes, I will see you when I get home...hugs and kisses...tell Papa I miss him too...ok...huh? Oh, yes, I brought my knife, don't worry I won't have to use it...okay, I love you...bye.

Waverly hung up and tossed her phone on the bed, where it landed only a few inches from Mikey. She fell on the bed dramatically.

Mikey asked, "How do you know Italian? That has to be like the hardest language I've ever heard."

"Well it's really close to Spanish, but English was actually harder for me than anything. I grew up with Italian, but when I was about three or four started to speak English."

"I didn't start talking until I was three. Master Splinter never thought I was going to."

"What's Master Splinter like? I mean, I haven't exactly met him yet." Waverly asked, propping her head up on her hand.

"He's awesome! He's like this ninja superhero rat!"

"Epic…so when we get back?"

"Totally, Angel Cakes." He entwined his hand in hers and kissed each of her knuckles.

…Le Time Skip Brought to you by MOI!...

Bernie was laying in a green chair, her back arched on one end and her legs dangling off the other. Raph was sitting underneath her butt, his arms flung over the back of the chair. Mikey and Waverly sat about half a millimeter apart on the couch, arguing about which was better: Orange Crush or Dr. Pepper. Donnie and Casey were talking about who Mary Ann ended up with on Gilligan's Island, Professor or Skipper (Throwback to the movie! Sorry I watched it today!) Leo was nowhere to be seen. Time seemed to be dragging by, although the girls knew they had something they needed to be doing.

It was about one in the afternoon when Leo said, "Come on, training time!"

He earned a groan from his three younger brothers.

"Do we have to?" Mikey whined childishly.

"Master Splinter made me promise to train you guys while we were on vacation." Leo claimed.

"Well what Master Splinter don't know won't hurt him." Raph said on the offensive.

"He has a point." Donnie said from behind his physics book. "Unless you count an attack from nuclear bombs."

Bernie interjected, "Well I think you guys need to train." All four brothers all gave her strange, Are you okay? looks. "Unless you want to clean with Casey, Wave, and me." She finished. This was the perfect excuse to get off her ass.

Waverly said, "Yeah, totally. This place needs it if we're gonna be staying here another two nights."

Casey said, "Wait, cleaning? I think I'm gonna train with you guys."

Bernie rolled her eyes, "Okay, so I guess me and Wave are gonna clean. You guys go train and we should be done around two or three." She got off of Raph and he sluggishly got up.

"But I'm gonna miss you." Mikey pouted, getting weird clingy onto Waverly.

"Don't worry. I'll be right here when you get back." She kissed his 'nose' and he was off with his big brothers and Casey to practice katas or whatever, happy as freaking ever.

Bernie and Waverly exchanged glances and decided it was time to clean this old dirt trap.

…Another Time Skip Cuz Cleaning is SOOO Boring to Write…

"Done." Waverly announced as she threw the swept up dirt outside.

"Finally." Bernie said. It was about two thirty and they had cleaned the entire house within that time period. Bernie had pulled her hair into a ponytail and changed into a pair of shorts to try and avoid the hot summer air, unsuccessfully. Wave smiled as she set the broom away, looking around the house, satisfied. She had cleaned tremendously at home and at the pizza parlor.

As if on cue, five sweating freaking teenagers walked in, absolutely drenched, and almost plopped themselves down on the couch.

"No!" Bernie and Waverly screeched in unison. Mikey fell onto the ground and the others were just scared out of their skin.

"What?" Donnie asked.

"Don't sit on the damn couch." Waverly said, "Do you know how fucking hard it was to get that stain out? I'd rather not have to get sweat stains out." (Those are a thing. Guess who cleans them in my house. -.-)

"Showers. Now." Bernie commanded.

Casey, Donnie, and Leo all trudged their way up the stairs to the three showers. There was 1 ½ baths downstairs (one full and one just a shower) and three upstairs, so it happened to work out like that. Mikey just laid on the floor for a few minutes, tired and ready to sleep.

Bernie got close to Raph and whispered, "I think I need some Raphie time tonight."

YES! I am going to do a lemon again! I miss writing them, which is bad, and I know I'm bad at them, but they're fun to write with these characters! SO LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT CHAPTER!

Again, this is just a filler, and frankly kind of stupid, but, we all need the corny little fillers to make the world go round, right? Right?

Random thing: Why do we call it a "pair of pants" if it's only one?
