TMNT Fan Fiction

One shot: Best Friends

Pacphs - Yeah I know how little sisters can be, I have two of them. As for Mikey paying back Don, ummm the two stories I am writing are kind of linked though distantly (Turning Points and Define Family), Don's chapter is were Don started blackmailing Mikey and he used that blackmail in chapter 3 though Mikey tried to clear the state with Don several times before that.

Hummm… Raph, Leo, Raph, Leo, Raph, Leo, Raph, Leo, Raph, Leo, Raph, Leo…. Maybe flip a coin? Well, Leo's up (Sorry Raph and Isis-Lament).

Disclaimer: Nope don't own them

Leo's POV (age: about 2 yrs):

"Very good Leonardo!" said Daddy. I looked up and smiled at his praise. I just did a forward roll. This room that Daddy lets us play in is fun. When he takes us to this room we play games and do lots of tumbling. I know my brothers are loving it too.

"Very good Raphael!" said Daddy as Raphie did his perfectly too. We grinned at each other. Daddy needed to correct Mikey and Don's rolls before they could do it right. We could tell that it would take some time, Mikey was being silly and Don had taken a mental journey. Sometimes I think he is meditating like Daddy does, but Donny is standing when he does it. Raphie and I went to the other side of the room to practice our rolls.

(1-½ years latter):

After we were done training in the Dojo, we went into the kitchen to get some water. It took awhile for us to turn on the rusty spigot connected to the to a water pipeline. While we were drinking, Raph spoke up, "Hey, Donny when do you plan on making our kit-e-on look like the one's in the book."

Mikey snickered over how Raph stumbled over the word kitchen or was it how he was determine to talk like Dad. Raph frowned at him and Mikey held up his hands, "ook, I no kar ow I ond ut ew ond ie Dada. Epet en ew ake ataes. (Look, I no care how I sound but you sound like Dada. Except when you make mistakes.)" Ever since Mikey fell in the river he started talking like a one-year and acting like one too. We let it go because he acted like a baby before, saying things that don't make any sense like now.

"Well at least I don't talk like a baby," Raph replied, "So, Donny, when will you make it look better?"

It has been about three months since Donny has fixed the water heater so that we could have hot bathes every night. We loved splashing each other and learning to swim in the tub. Donny looked at our kitchen. There was a water spigot coming out of a water pipe above a cracked plastic bucket. Next to that was a weathered plank board on two bricks. Above us were cloth bags of food counterbalanced across the pipes with the rope going through holes in the bottom of the buckets that covered each bag of food so that rats couldn't get our food.

"Why," Donny asked, "I think it looks nice and Dad might not let me." Beside him Mikey was nodding in agreement. Raph looked desperately at me but all I could do was shrug, I liked our home the way it is too. Raph ran into our room shutting the door behind him as he went.

When he didn't come out an hour latter I went in to see if he was OK. I could see him in the candlelight coming from the ground by his bed, which consisted of blankets pillows and a sleeping bag for padding. He was lying on his bed clutching his pillow with a magazine lying open in front of him. I sat down next to him and looked at the magazine. It was full of all these pictures of other people's homes.

"That's a refrigerator," Raph sniffled pointing at a big white box, "it keeps food cold and rats out… our food would last longer."

"That sounds great," whispered in awe, not having enough food was always a problem and sometimes we went hungry because the rats ate our dinner first.

"That is a stove," he continued. For the next hour and a half he went through every room in these houses pointing at things he wanted so bad but we couldn't have. I even had to light my stub of a candle when his burnt out.

"What is that," I asked pointing to something on the page.

"That is a lamp, it is like a really bright candle and they run on ele- electricity so that we wont always be stumbling around in the dark," he explained.

"Maybe Donny will do this if we ask nicely," I said.

"I already did that," Raph said.

"Oh yeah…" I got up taking the magazine with me to show Donny and Raph followed. It didn't take long to have both Donny and Mikey drooling over the rooms in the magazine. However, Dad wouldn't let Donny work on anything until he finished reading his book. Two months latter he had finished reading it and started fixing up our home. I think Daddy was amazed at how fast he read it, what he didn't know was how much we were pestering Donny to finish the book.

I followed Raph into the kitchen after the extra training that we both put in. We each got a glass of water and Raph opened up the refrigerator to get some ice, which he put into our glasses. We just stood there and watched the ice float for a while.

"Thank you Leo," Raph said softly.

"Hey what are best friends for," I replied embarrassed.

"Yeah we are best friends and one day we will be the best ninjas together," Raph promised.

"Yeah," I replied, before we finish our water and went to find our brothers to play with.
