A Sense of Belonging
Chapter VIII: Dinner Time Part 2

Michaelangelo set a large pizza on the coffee table. "Now this is what I call food."
"That's for damn sure." Raphael grabbed a slice.
Venus shook her head again. "You all won't eat squid, but you all will eat pickled egg and strawberry pizza."
"You got that right." Donatello replied.
"That's nasty." Venus made a face. "Well, I'm finishing up my fried shrimp, squid, and potatoes."
"Not while we're eatin." Raphael informed her. "Go in the kitchen before we all puke again."
Venus picked up her plate and stormed in the kitchen.

Casey, April, and Shadow (age 3) came down in the lair.
"Hey guys." Casey said holding up some bags in his hands. "I brought you some munchies for the rest of the week."
"Give them to Venus." Raphael replied. "How much we owe you?"
"$57.46."
"Here." Raphael handed him three twenties.
"Where'd you get all this money from?" Casey asked looking over the bills.
"Some punk doing a drug deal."
April looked around. "Where's Venus?"
"In the kitchen." Leonardo answered.
"Come on Shadow." April took Shadow's hand and led her in the kitchen. "Look Shadow. It's Aunt Venus."
"Veevee." Shadow let go of April's hand and ran to Venus.
Venus picked her up and put her on her lap. "Hi Shadow."
"Kiss." Shadow smiled.
"Kiss." Venus kissed her on the cheek.
"Why are you in here all by yourself?" April said as she looked around.
"The guys don't like my food."
"Well Shadow looks like she does." April laughed as she saw Shadow stuff a shrimp in her mouth.
Venus looked down. "That tastes good."
Shadow nodded her head.
April sat down at the table. "Splinter called me earlier. He thinks you are upset about something."
Venus sighed. "Nothing's wrong."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes April. I am fine."
"Ok." April got up. "But if you ever need anyone to talk to, I will be there."
Venus nodded.
"Come on Shadow. Let's go home and watch a movie." April picked up Shadow. "Remember, I'll be there when you need me."
April and Shadow left the room to find Casey.
"Time to go." April said. "Bye you guys."
"Bye."
Casey got up and took Shadow from April. "See you guys around."
"Bye Casey, April, Shadow."
