Disclaimer: I think it goes without saying that the Turtles don't belong to me, they're copyright Mirage Studios. Dragon Lord, Wick, Quease, the dragon warriors, Master Splinter . . . all of them don't belong to me either.
However, Ashton is 100% mine. If you don't know who she is, read DNA Mix-Up to find out. There are other characters in this story which are all mine as well; you'll recognize which ones those are as you go along.
Well, without further delay, I present . . . .
Vacation in L.A.
It'd been a long time since their last vacation. They'd battled dragons, gangsters, mad scientists, bounty hunters . . . it all got very tiring sometimes.
It was late March, and the Turtles thought that it was about time for a vacation. The dragons had been quiet for a good while, the gangsters had moved their practices to Las Vegas, nothing at all was going on with Dr. Quease, and Bonesteel was off capturing more animals in another country. The Turtles, Splinter, and Ashton decided to go on vacation to Los Angeles, California for a couple of weeks; just to take a well-deserved break.
The Turtle lair was calm; for the most part, on this cool springish afternoon. They had finished packing for their trip, and were just waiting for nighttime to come to leave discreetly for their vacation.
Raphael and Leo sparred in the dojo. Though with those two, it was difficult to tell if it was sparring, or actual fighting.
Donny sat at his computer with a small device and some floppy disks nearby.
Ashton walked over to the computer and slightly leaned over his shoulder.
Donatello leaned to the side a bit, away from her. "Can I help you?" he asked.
"What are you doing?" asked Ashton.
"Why do you care?" asked Donny as he continued typing, his eyes never leaving the screen.
Ashton stopped leaning over. "I dunno, just bored I guess."
Donny sat up straight again. "I'm putting the 'eye in the sky' program on disk so I can put it in my portable machine. This way, I can track what's going on around us, wherever we are."
"Interesting." said Ashton, somewhat absent-mindedly. "When are we leaving?"
"Ashton, you've asked me that a dozen times, don't ask anymore." said Donny. "When its time, you'll know."
Ashton sighed heavily and went into the kitchen where Mikey was preparing something to eat. "What are you making?" she asked as she leaned on the counter near him.
Mikey glanced up at her. "My specialty, popcorn, ketchup, and relish spread." he grinned. "Want some?"
"Yech." said Ashton making a face. "I think I'll pass."
In the dojo, Raph and Leo crossed the line from sparring, to fighting.
"You're gonna take that back!!" exclaimed Leo.
"Make me." smirked Raph.
Leo got an angry look on his face and attacked Raph head on. He then grabbed one of Raph's sai and roughly tossed it out of the room.
"Hey!" exclaimed an annoyed Raph.
Raph went after his sai, with Leo following close behind.
Out in the living room, Leo made Raph drop both of his sai, Leo dropped his katanna, and they started trying to wrestle each other to the floor.
Venus came out of her room as she heard the commotion and looked at the two fighting. "Oh no, not again." she said as she sighed heavily.
Master Splinter came out of his room and looked at Raph and Leo fighting.
As soon as they saw Master Splinter, they stopped, Raph with Leo in a headlock.
Master Splinter was about to say something, then just sighed heavily. "Tell me when it is time to leave." he said, going back into his room.
Raph removed Leo from the headlock and walked off.
"Loser!" Leo exclaimed.
"Kiss my shell." Raph commented.
"Boys." commented Venus as she shook her head and went back into her room.
