A Sense of Belonging
Chapter XII: Tired
By: Michelle
Venus got out of the tub and dried herself off. She shivered. It was always cold after a bath she thought to herself. She grabbed her robe hanging in the closet and walked out the room.
"Hey Venus, where you going?" Leonardo asked.
"I'm going to bed."
Leonardo began to limp after her. "It's not even eight yet. Is something wrong?"
'Leo, I'm fine." Venus replied as she walked towards her bed on the floor.
"You don't sound fine."
Venus sighed. "Leo, I'm just tired. You don't have to worry about me all the time."
"I know." Leonardo grabbed her hand. "It's just..."
"Leo, I'm fine." Venus smiled; Leo always seemed to care about her. "You should be resting your ankle."
Leonardo nodded. She watched silently as he limped back to the couch.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
At around nine, Splinter came home and found the Turtles watching TV. "I thought I told you four to clean up."
"We did.' Michaelangelo smiled.
"Oh, you did. Did you?" Splinter pointed around. "Then why is there popcorn all over the place?"
"You see Sensei." Michaelangelo began to explain on the behalf of the four of them. "It was clean."
"It was." Splinter knew better. "Then before I came home, it magically got dirty again."
"Exactly." Michaelangelo gave Splinter an innocent grin.
The others all sighed.
"Start cleaning now." Splinter said and began to walk away. Then, he turned. "Where is Venus?"
"Changing her tampon." Raphael mumbled.
Splinter gave Raphael a disapproving look.
"She went to bed, Sensei." Leonardo answered.
"It's early." Splinter thought for a moment. "What happened?'
"She said she was tired."
Splinter walked away from the Turtles and peeked in on Venus. She was sound asleep. He wondered just how long it would be before she had enough.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Venus opened her eyes. It was quiet. She looked over at the clock. No wonder. It was two in the morning.
She rubbed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, she got up to go to the bathroom.
On the way there, she found Leonardo asleep on the couch. Now that's a pose, she thought to herself. To bad she was half asleep or she would have gotten a camera.
Venus opened the bathroom door and turned on the light. She shielded her eyes. What a bright light. . . . . "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHO DID IT????"
