Chapter 7
The next morning
Everyone was rudely woken up by loud crying.
"For crying out loud! Who ever has the baby better shut it up before I do!" Lenni responded meanly as she walked out of her room.
"Yeah, what she said." Mily responded.
"What in the world can cry that loud?" Donny asked, who looked like he got punched in the eyes by Raph.
"A very large baby?" Mike joked.
"Actually, a baby with very strong lungs." Tyger replied as she walked up the stairs and held a baby boy in her arms.
"Look, it lookes just like Leo but smaller."Sasami cooed.
"Who looks like Leo?" Raph said, who looked worse that Don.
"Man you are worse looking than Don." Elle spoke.
"Shaddap you! I had less sleep than you."
"Why don't you shut up?" She retorted.
"No!"
The baby starts crying again, but even louder.
"Great you two. Thank you for waking the baby up. Since you two woke him after his mother and I tried to get him to sleep, you get to rock him until he sleeps again. Then bring him upstairs into the room with the doberman next to it." Tyger replied as she handed over the baby to Elle and Raph.
"Nice going." They said to each other, before sticking out their tounges at each other.
"Will you two shut up and get the baby to sleep and bring it upstairs!?!" Tyger asked, rubbing her head.
"Make me!" Raph snapped.
Tyger froze in her tracks and started to fume steam(literally, you could see it coming from the top of her head) and clenched her hands. She slowly turned around and looked at Raph with an evil eye and walked up to him.
"Raph, I am pmsing, I had not slept since yesterday morning, I smell like baby spit and defication, and I am in no mood to fight with anyone, especially you. Now if you don't want me to spill what you told me last night, you had better get that baby to sleep before I decide to tell."Tyger spoke in an angerly tone as she looked at him.
Raph just stood there dumbstruck as he held the baby in his hands.
"Woah, remind me to not to what Raph just did." Nightmare silently spoke.
"Shut up!" Raph replied.
"Raph, don't start! There is more women in this hallway than you can handle, so just can it." Tyger replied to Raph.
"Yes sir!" Raph mocked.
"I mean it. Now bring the baby upstairs before I strangle you."
Raph started to grumble and brought the baby upstairs. The few that were in the hallway followed Raph. When they started to get close to the door with Waseen next to it, Wassen got up and started gowling at them. Natedlana heard him growling and came out of the room to see what was going on and noticed that Raph had the baby with a few friends behind him.
"Where's Tyger? I thought she had the baby."
"She did. I had gotten into a verbal fight with Elle here and we got stuck with junior here." Raph replied as he nodded to Elle and handed over the baby.
"Can we come in and congratulate the mother?"Lenni asked.
"Hold on. Let me check if she wants to see you all." Natedlana replied before closing the door.
Muffled voice came from inside the room. Lenni put her ear on the door to hear what was going on. She could hear the voices getting louder and talking about strangers coming in to see her. I got quiet and Lenni stepped back to where she was and Natedlana opened the door..
"Sorry guys, she doesn't want any one to visit her right now. Maybe later."
"Aw man! Dang." Night said disapointingly.
"Better go back to sleep." Elle spoke.
"Looks like you need it Raph." Donny said.
They all go to their respective floors and gone to their rooms. Lenni looked over the railing and noticed that Tyger was asleep on the livingroom couch with her head and the rest of her upper body on the floor.
"Dudes, look! It's a kodak moment." Lenni told everyone as she pointed to Tyger.
"Anyone have a camera?" Elle asked with a glimmer in her eye and an evil scheme in her head.
"I do."Night replied before going into her room to get it.
The four girls(Elle, Mily, Lenni, and Night) snuck downstairs to get a picture of Tyger for blackmail. Kiki had woken up from the girls giggling to much outside her door and went to see what was going on. She guessed what they were going to do and went to tell Master Splinter.
"Man, she had not better wake up or we are in deep trouble." Mily spoke quietly.
"You already are." A voice bellowed.
The girls cringed in fear from the voice. The voice had woken up Tyger so suddenly, that she got so startled that she fell completely on the floor, and made the loudest moan of pain that it made the others around her to jump in surprise.
"Dial 9-1-1. Mmmm-medic."
"Are you ok?" Kiki asked, helping Tyger up from the floor.
"Ow. My butt. I hurt." Tyger replied as she rubbed her butt in pain.
"That was a perfect blackmailing picture too." Mily cried.
"You four will be punished for being rude." Splinter spoke.
"Well, she was being rude to me and Raph." Elle explained.
"That was because you two were fighting so much, that you caused the baby to wake up and cry even more after I spent up ALL night in helping to take care of the baby and to get him to sleep this morning." Tyger replied, still rubbing her butt.
"It was Raph that started it." Elle blamed.
"You made the smart-assed comment on him being worse looking than Don. He had a lot on his mind and did not sleep much." Tyger added.
"She's right Master Splinter." Mily agreed.
"You four will have to do 20 flips this morning, then you will report to Tyger to have a light punishment for trying to blackmail her."
"She should be punished too, she blackmailed Raph." Lenni explained.
"Is this true, Tyger?" Splinter asked as he looked at her.
Tyger was standing there like someone just hit her with a lead brick before she responded the truth to Master Splinter.
"Yes, I did. He was being smart-alecy about him having to put the baby to sleep because I had to have him and Elle learn not to fight with a baby around when they fight." Tyger replied with her head down.
"I see. From the information you guys gave me, I relize that Tyger did no wrong by stopping the fight and putting the punishment in her own hands, therefore she will only get 10 flips for the blackmailing."
"What? No fair!" The four complained.
"My decision is final."
The five went off grumbling. Kiki slowly followed behind.
"Thanks a lot for telling Kiki." Lenni spoke gingerly.
"Yeah, thanks Kiki." Mily replied.
"Lay off. If she didn't tell, it would have been a lot worse if I found out." Tyger defended.
"Point granted." Nighmare said.
"Sorry I said that Kiki. I didn't mean it." Lenni replied after a minute of silence.
"That's ok."
"Good."
They went into the dojo to do their flips. When Tyger finished doing her flips, she headed out the door, then stopped at the doorway.
"Just because I am tired right now, I am letting you four off the punishment that Splinter made me give you, so you better be gratefull that I am letting you just do the 20 flips." Tyger said.
The four jumped for joy and thanked Tyger for letting them off easy.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*Mid-December*
It was late morning, and Splinter went out to find necessities for himself and his sons. Since it was below zero, he had to go get the necessities. Mainly warm cloths like warm jackets and blankets for days like this. The four are huddled together in a bundle, each with a old blanket to keep themselves warm. Don had fixed an old, small heater to try and heat a part of the lair, but it was too old to get a small room warm, so they just use it to keep small things warm.
"I'mmm fffrrreeezzziiinngg!" Mike comlpained.
"Me to Mike, we all are." Leo spoke calmly and slowly.
"When I sensei coming back?"Raph asked.
"Soon I hope." Don replied.
The stayed huddled together for a few minutes before a noise from somewhere in the lair had startled them. They all looked at each other and nodded in aggreement to look for the noise. Each of them went to a different part of the lair to search for the place on where the sound came from. Leo went into the dojo to see if anything fell and noticed that there was a section of the wall missing and the rubble was blocking the doorway.
"Hey guys, I think I found the noise." Leo yelled.
The other three ran as fast as they could to the dojo, still holding their blankets around them.
"What do you suppose could of caused that?"
"Could have been something large to do that. Or that part of the wall was old and was about to colapse anyway." Donny explained.
Another sound echos through the lair.
"What was that?"Mike askes.
"Another wall?" Raph replies.
All four cautiously and slowly made it from the dojo to the livingroom. Suddenly the door creeked opened and the boys jumped and screamed for dear mercy. A familiar figure stepped out of the shadows and the boys calmed down.
"What is wrong, my sons?"
The boys paused to think of an answer. Finally, Leo stepped up to answer.
"We heard some noises around the lair, and you had scared us." Leo explained.
"I see. I have some new stuff for you. I found all of this in a hidden spot in an abandoned home a few blocks from here." Splinter said as he put the bags in his hand down.
The boys each grab a bag and went through them. They found all kinds of toys, clothing, cloth, and other kinds of things. In the background where nobody was looking, Tigger was hiding in the shadows, noticing that Splinter had found the stuff that her friend had left in the abandoned house.
'How did he find that. It was well hidden.'She thought to herself before going into Raph's room.
The boys took their favorite toys. They had a few fights because a couple toys were a favorite among the brothers, but Splinter broke up the fights and had them share the toys. They played with their toys for a few hours before going to clean up the fallen wall in the dojo, since practice was cancelled and then ate dinner. Tigger had changed into a girl and was drawing when Raph came into his room.
"Hey Tigger, what are you workin on?"
"Your guys faces when you heard the noises." Tigger said as she giggled.
"That was you doing that?"
"Hey, I had to get you guys to warm up." Tigger replied as she got up from the floor.
"How did you get the wall in the dojo to fall?"
"I saw it was old and structurally weak, so I pulled out a brick and moved out of the way." She explained, going back to pick her picture from the floor and handed it to Raph. Raph looked at all the details and was amazed by it.
"This is just great. Can I have it?"
"Thanks for the compliment and yes you can have it."
Raph put the picture away so he won't lose it and went on his bed to read. Tigger went back to drawing, but this time she went to draw herself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Raph woke up and looked at the clock next to him. 1:30 in the afternoon.
'Man, I keep having these memories. But why do they come now? Is it because Tigger is nearby and my body is unconcsiously telling me this? Why am I hear now and why is Tigger here?' he thought to himself as he rolled over to his side.
There was a knock on the door, but Raph didn't answer. A minute later, there was another knock. This time Raph got up to unlock the door and let who ever was knocking in. Natedlana was on the other side, but with a bright pink bandana on this time.
"Can I come in?" she asked politely.
"Sure. Come on in." he replied.
"I didn't wake you, did I?"
"No. I was just thinking to myself about an old friend."
"Oh. Should I leave then?"
"No. you can stay if you want. I have nothing else to do."
"Ok." Natedlana replied as she saw some drawings on one side of the queen sized bed.
"These are excellent drawings. You drew them yourself?"
"No, a friend drew them a long time ago."
"I thought Donny said that no one knew you and your brothers existed until you met April and Casey a few years ago." She said as she shuffled through the drawings and looking at them.
"There was one friend that no one else knew about and still know about until last night when I talked to Tyger." He replied as he picked up the one of him and his brothers huddled together.
"Tyger is a great listener. She is a rare person to find that is one of the best in the world. She knows that if she told anyone about us, she would have a heavy burden that she was about to give away a life to someone who would kill us." Natedlana said.
"Yeah, she is."
"Who is this? It looks familiar." Natedlana asked a she held up a picture of a girl and showed it to Raph.
"That is a self portrait of my friend, Tigger."
"She must be a talented girl. But I can't stop thinking that I know her from somewhere." Natedlana said.
Natdelana continued to look at the picture when a knock disrupted her concentration.
"It's open." Raph yelled.
"Good Afternoon Raph. Nice to see you are up." Tyger said not looking up, obviously distracted by the papers in her hand and yawning from the lack of sleep.
"Hi your self. You look terrible Tyger. You need to get some sleep." Natedlana said.
"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here. I, um, should leave if you two want some privacy."Tyger said as she backed up and headed out the door.
"Stay, it is ok. We were just talking." Raph replied as he motioned Tyger to come back in.
Tyger came back in and walked over to the bed, sat down and yawned as hard as she could.
"Raph is this another picture from Tigger?"Natedlana asked as she handed over a picture.
"Someone say my name?" Tyger asked.
"No, she said Tigger not Tyger." Raph said while looking at the picture.
"I should go to bed."Tyger sleeply replied as she looked at a picture.
Natedlana looked up and Tyger sitting there looking at a picture on the bed, then she looked back at the picture in her hand and saw something that she didn't notice before.
"Raphael, do you mind if I borrow this picture?"
"No, go right ahead."
"Thanks."
Natedlana took the picture, got up and left. Tyger did not even notice that Natedlana left because she had fallen asleep sitting up.
"Why did you come here if you are just going to sleep?"
"Wha? Oh, sorry Raph. I came here to ask if you want to go on a hiking trip and spend a couple of nights in a cabin with the rest of the group. We would be leaving tomorrow afternoon. Would you like to come?"
"Sure why not. There is nothing to lose."
Good. By the way, since you missed practice this morning, and I told Master Splinter about you talking to me, don't worry I didn't tell him what about, he wants you to do extra this evening."
"Ok. Thanks."
"Later." Tyger said sleepily as she went out the door.
~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~
Kiki and Lenni were playing pool in one of the games rooms, Mily and Nightmare were card castle, Elle was singing, Egor was playing the PS2, Sasami and Sss979 were playing checkers, Snow white was in the library reading, Zip was hanging aound Donny like there was no tomorrow, Daydream was eating marshmallows and watching Mily and Nightmare build the card castle, Danceingfae was watching movies, and Tyger was in the other games room sleepily watching Lexx episodes on DVD. Tyger was dozing off to sleep when the intercom went off.
"What in the name of..?" Tyger yelled as she jumped up off the couch and fell backwards.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" A voice called from the intercom.
Tyger slowly walked to the intercom and yawned before answering. Apperently she wasn't the only one that was at the intercom because she could hear the other talking at once on the intercom system in the other games room.
"Will you guys please shut up? You are probably scaring who ever is on the other end." Tyger said calmly.
"Who is this?" Daydream butted in like she always does.
"Arista Niara."
"And her sister Ryoko."
"Hold on. I'll be right down." Tyger said before leaving to go open the gates and door.
"Man, can this day get anyworse?" Tyger asked as she looked up.
The moment she looked up, a huge water baloon came crashing down on her and laughter was heard. Tyger wiped her face and saw that Mike, Lenni, Mily, and Daydream had thrown a humongously big water balloon from one floor up from Tyger. Tyger was fully drenched from head to toe and threw them an very mad face and started waving her clenched hand at them.
"Y'all better run and hide, because when I come back I am going to moida yea!" Tyger yelled.
The culprits gulped loudly and scattered to different locations of the house and property. Tyger continued on to going downstairs and opened the gates and front door.
"What happened to you?" Arista asked as she put her baggage down.
"Mike, Lenni, Mily, and Daydream happened." Tyger replied.
"This is my little sister, Ryoko."
"Nice to meet you Tyger." Ryoko said.
"Mini Arista!" Tyger said in happiness.
"No, she is not mini me." Arista replied.
"Sorry I said that. I had a lack of sleep and my brain is fried right now." Tyger apologized.
"That is ok. People say that all the time." Ryoko responded.
"What are you doing here? I thought you couldn't come."
"The reason why I didn't come at first was because our parents went on a second honeymoon and I had to babysit her while they were gone, and Ryoko pleaded to come, so here we are." Arista explained.
"Let me show you to your rooms. Then I have to take care of some business. Almost everyone is in one of the games rooms and I will take you there after I show where your rooms are."
End of this chapter. You can stop reading now. I mean it. This is truly the end of the chapter. What you are still here? I said leave. Go. Just kidding. Lenni, Mily, Daydream I am not really going to moida you three or Mike, I am just going to do something to you, but I don't know what. Tell me what you think about is so far, you loved it, you liked it, it was ok, it was boring, it was downright disgusting and was the worst, I don't really care just as long you tell the truth.
The next morning
Everyone was rudely woken up by loud crying.
"For crying out loud! Who ever has the baby better shut it up before I do!" Lenni responded meanly as she walked out of her room.
"Yeah, what she said." Mily responded.
"What in the world can cry that loud?" Donny asked, who looked like he got punched in the eyes by Raph.
"A very large baby?" Mike joked.

"Look, it lookes just like Leo but smaller."Sasami cooed.
"Who looks like Leo?" Raph said, who looked worse that Don.
"Man you are worse looking than Don." Elle spoke.
"Shaddap you! I had less sleep than you."
"Why don't you shut up?" She retorted.
"No!"
The baby starts crying again, but even louder.
"Great you two. Thank you for waking the baby up. Since you two woke him after his mother and I tried to get him to sleep, you get to rock him until he sleeps again. Then bring him upstairs into the room with the doberman next to it." Tyger replied as she handed over the baby to Elle and Raph.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here. I, um, should leave if you two want some privacy."Tyger said as she backed up and headed out the door.
"Stay, it is ok. We were just talking." Raph replied as he motioned Tyger to come back in.
Tyger came back in and walked over to the bed, sat down and yawned as hard as she could.
"Raph is this another picture from Tigger?"Natedlana asked as she handed over a picture.
"Someone say my name?" Tyger asked.
"No, she said Tigger not Tyger." Raph said while looking at the picture.
"I should go to bed."Tyger sleeply replied as she looked at a picture.
Natedlana looked up and Tyger sitting there looking at a picture on the bed, then she looked back at the picture in her hand and saw something that she didn't notice before.
"Raphael, do you mind if I borrow this picture?"
"No, go right ahead."
"Thanks."
Natedlana took the picture, got up and left. Tyger did not even notice that Natedlana left because she had fallen asleep sitting up.
"Why did you come here if you are just going to sleep?"
"Wha? Oh, sorry Raph. I came here to ask if you want to go on a hiking trip and spend a couple of nights in a cabin with the rest of the group. We would be leaving tomorrow afternoon. Would you like to come?"
"Sure why not. There is nothing to lose."
Good. By the way, since you missed practice this morning, and I told Master Splinter about you talking to me, don't worry I didn't tell him what about, he wants you to do extra this evening."
"Ok. Thanks."
"Later." Tyger said sleepily as she went out the door.

Kiki and Lenni were playing pool in one of the games rooms, Mily and Nightmare were card castle, Elle was singing, Egor was playing the PS2, Sasami and Sss979 were playing checkers, Snow white was in the library reading, Zip was hanging aound Donny like there was no tomorrow, Daydream was eating marshmallows and watching Mily and Nightmare build the card castle, Danceingfae was watching movies, and Tyger was in the other games room sleepily watching Lexx episodes on DVD. Tyger was dozing off to sleep when the intercom went off.
"What in the name of..?" Tyger yelled as she jumped up off the couch and fell backwards.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" A voice called from the intercom.
Tyger slowly walked to the intercom and yawned before answering. Apperently she wasn't the only one that was at the intercom because she could hear the other talking at once on the intercom system in the other games room.
"Will you guys please shut up? You are probably scaring who ever is on the other end." Tyger said calmly.
"Who is this?" Daydream butted in like she always does.
"Arista Niara."
"And her sister Ryoko."
"Hold on. I'll be right down." Tyger said before leaving to go open the gates and door.
"Man, can this day get anyworse?" Tyger asked as she looked up.
The moment she looked up, a huge water baloon came crashing down on her and laughter was heard. Tyger wiped her face and saw that Mike, Lenni, Mily, and Daydream had thrown a humongously big water balloon from one floor up from Tyger. Tyger was fully drenched from head to toe and threw them an very mad face and started waving her clenched hand at them.
"Y'all better run and hide, because when I come back I am going to moida yea!" Tyger yelled.
The culprits gulped loudly and scattered to different locations of the house and property. Tyger continued on to going downstairs and opened the gates and front door.
"What happened to you?" Arista asked as she put her baggage down.
"Mike, Lenni, Mily, and Daydream happened." Tyger replied.
"This is my little sister, Ryoko."
"Nice to meet you Tyger." Ryoko said.
"Mini Arista!" Tyger said in happiness.
"No, she is not mini me." Arista replied.
"Sorry I said that. I had a lack of sleep and my brain is fried right now." Tyger apologized.
"That is ok. People say that all the time." Ryoko responded.
"What are you doing here? I thought you couldn't come."
"The reason why I didn't come at first was because our parents went on a second honeymoon and I had to babysit her while they were gone, and Ryoko pleaded to come, so here we are." Arista explained.
"Let me show you to your rooms. Then I have to take care of some business. Almost everyone is in one of the games rooms and I will take you there after I show where your rooms are."
End of this chapter. You can stop reading now. I mean it. This is truly the end of the chapter. What you are still here? I said leave. Go. Just kidding. Lenni, Mily, Daydream I am not really going to moida you three or Mike, I am just going to do something to you, but I don't know what. Tell me what you think about is so far, you loved it, you liked it, it was ok, it was boring, it was downright disgusting and was the worst, I don't really care just as long you tell the truth.
