Are They Men in Costumes?
Note: Sorry for the delay in chapters. Writer's block and such, but 'Miranda' my latestodd fic was able to clear some of that up. So, this is what I was able to get, hope it's enjoyable guys. Oh and Rene, I promise that nothing that requires a confession will happen ^_~. Despite what they might want.

Raphael watched in the background as their clan was shown the ins and outs of their new dwellings. Something didn't quite jive with him at her story. He just couldn't understand how one internet website could bring all four of them to another dimension and place.
"So, we're like, a cartoon? Dudes, we're famous!" Mikey grinned, giving Don a high three.
Rene laughed and took them into the kitchen, "Yeah, there was this link to a place called MakeAWish.com. It said that no matter what I wished for, it would make it come true. I only wished for you guys 'cause I assumed that it was a hoax. Butshe did say it worked for her" She paused, thinking over what her friend could have wished for and shrugged.
"Oh well, you're here now! That's all that matters!" She couldn't help laughing for joy at her luck. Four teenage mutant ninja turtle were in her home, drinking her soda!
"I think I'd like to see this website sometime, if you don't mind."
She shook her head lightly, "Not at all Don, I don't mind."
Out of the corner of his eye Raphael spotted the furball that had attacked Donatello earlier and side stepped it's pounce, laughing to himself when it latched onto Mikes ankle.
"EEEEWWWWWOOOOO!" Hopping on one leg, Mike tried to gently pull the feline off of him but to no avail, it had its claws latched firmly in the green skin.
"GETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF!!!"
Reaching over, Leo carefully pried the cat off his brothers' ankle. Once off, the cat curled up into the blue masked turtles' arms, purring loudly and contently.
Rene watched fascinated, "Wow, Buster doesn't usually take to people that quickly."
"Yeah, well, that's our bro, he always could tame the savage beast." Raph quipped.
"Actually Raph, the quote is 'Sooth the savage breast." Don corrected.
"Really? I'm not sure he'd now what to do with one, let alone sooth it!" The red bandana clad turtle laughed loudly at his joke.
All four groaned at the joke when there was a call from downstairs.
"Honey? You have company?"
"Yea, we're on the kitchen."
Even with the cat in his arms, Leo took on a stance, preparing for an attack. Rene noticed this and sighed.
"Calm down Leo, it's just my husband. He must have gotten off work early today."
Nodding, but still not reassured, he eased back.
"Jeez, do you ever relax? You're safe here, don't worry."
"That's our bro, doesn't have a playful bone in his body." Michelangelo teased.
"I do too know how to have fun! But you must always be ready for anything."
The line caused the other turtles to quiet down; an almost visible sadness passed through the group. Rene made a mental note to find out what this meant later.
"Is it Joy" The man started, the ending dying on his lips as he came into the kitchen. All five watched him carefully for a reaction.
"Rene, please tell me those are cut-outs."
"Uhh. surprise?"
"Buthow in the world? When?"
"You already asked that one dear." Making her way around the kitchen island and over to her hubby, Rene told him to first, breathe deep, then to try again.
"Okay, how did they get here? Are they men in costumes?"
"Okay, wellremember that wish site I mentioned? Wellit worked. And they arrived shortly afterand no, they're not men in costumes."
Don and Mike tried their best 'please don't hate because I'm green' smile, while Raph and Leo watched cautiously.
"But, we had dinner reservations tonightwhat about those?"
Pausing, she looked back at the turtles, than back at her husband.
"We take them with."
"We what?" He mimicked, deadpan.
"Yeah, I mean why not? That wish thing brought them here, and I still have the linkmaybe it'll make you guys look human too!"
"Uhare you sure that's a good idea hun?"
"Oh, I know what I'm doing. Question is, did you guys want to come out with us?"
"Hmmsure why not? I've never been here, it'd be nice to check out the scenery."
"Nimrod, none of us have been here! Sheesh," Turning away from Mike, Raph looked back to Rene. "I'm game if they are."
The others agreed, and after much pleading on both Mikey and Rene's part, Leo agreed to join them.
"Okay, let me open up this window, and here we gookay, let's seeand wish!"
Typing furiously at the computer, Rene told the wish engine her desire, and after a moment hit send. A smiley face popped up after and told her to wait at least three hours for the wish to be granted.
"There, done."
"And that's all you did to get us here?" Don asked her, intrigued at the workings of it.
"Yup, I'll let you play around with it a bit while I go and get ready. And please, no fighting in the house." Almost out of the doorway, she paused and mentioned one last thing.
"Watch out for Ventura, he's getting a little slow in his age. So no rough housing with him."
"Venturawhat a weird name." Donatello commented after she had left.
"I don't care about names, we need to get back to our New York and finish what we started with the Shredder!" Leo's command landed on deaf ears.
"Leo, listen, we know that you're upset, but let's enjoy this vacation while we can. After all, she seems like a nice enough person. And besides, how often will the opportunity to visit California crop up like this?"
"Listen Raph, you might want to play in the sun all day, but I refuse to shame the name of Splinter by cowering."
"We're not cowering!" He shouted back, "And don't you ever say that about Splinter again! He would want us to enjoy life a bit! Jeez Leo is that all you think about? That you think you disgraced him?"
"Leave me alone Raph, I know I did."
"Guys, guys. Remember Ren's one rule? No fighting! So like, can't we all just get along?"
When each turtle went to his own separate corner of the room, Don moved over to Mike.
"Great going. How are we gonna keep them cooled off during supper? Raph looks ready for murder."
Mike watched his older brothers for a moment longer before noticing the old dog that padded softly into the room.
"This must be Venturahey, you're a lot nicer than your feline counter part." He laughed as the dog licked his face.
"Come over here Raph, you like dogs don't you?"
Turning away from the window Raph walked over to kneel beside the canine, slowly petting it's thinning hair.
"Hmmlook you guys, can we at least have a truce for the dinner?" Donatello pleaded.
Both turtles looked at each other, nodding in agreement.
"Aww, Raph you two looked so cute together!"
All four looked over to Rene, who was wearing a blue summer dress with pale yellow flowers on it. Taking his hand away, he stood, trying to maintain an air of detachment.
"Wow Ren, you look great."
"You think?" She did a small little twirl, loving the feeling of the fabric on her legs. When she stopped, her mouth gaped open at what she saw in front of her.
"What?"
"Uh, Leoyou're ahh"
She tried to fight the blush that was forming on her features. They were menor at least old teenagersand they were very, very cute.
TBC!
