Dedication: This story is dedicated to my very good friend, the author Raphangela. She has talked to me for hours and hours on end, giving me ideas for fan fiction all the while, without even knowing it! I would like to thank her for giving me some ideas for this sequel. I would also like to thank her for giving me one of the best friendships I ever had. Thank you Raphangela!
This story is not very love storyish in the very beginning. But it gets there. Trust me!
Now ladies and gents, I give you the long awaited sequel to The Warrior's Sister, Love of a Mechanic!
Down in the sewers of New York City, below the temporarilly quiet morning street, past dripping pipes and scattering rats, a little turtle girl's eyes flashed open. Her name was Jillian, and she was seven years of age. Jillian turned her head to peer at her digital clock on her bedside table. It was 3:30 in the morning. Perfect time to wake Donny up!
She struggled out of bed, two toed feet first. She left her quilt on the floor as she ran quietly out of the doorway of her and her little sister Hannah's room. She pitter pattered down the hallway and stopped in front of a wooden door that seemed very big from her tiny perspective. Being a turtle gave her the joy of being puny. The sign hanging from the door said 'SILENCE: EXTREMEM GENIOUSY IN PROGRESS'. Jill opened the door and stuck her head inside. On the bed was her big brother, eighteen year old Donettello. His legs were sticking out from under his blanket, and his pillow was smashed on his head. Jill smiled, and clambered up on the bed. She started shaking him, hissing his name quietly. Don yawned, and lifted the pillow slightly off his head to look at her. "Oh... no..." he moaned, and shoved it back on top of his head.
Jill huffed, and tried to yank the pillow off his head. "C'mon Donny! Get up you lazy turtle!" Don growled very quietly, and threw the pillow on the floor. He looked at her pleadingly with tired eyes. "Why ARE you up so early, Jill?" he groaned. Jillian didn't really listen, she was just happy he was awake now. "Breakfast Donny!" she exclaimed and jumped off the bed. " At 3:40 in the morning-ah!" exclaimed Donny, as he got yanked out of bed by the hand. "For the love of- why are you bothering me, Jillian!" Don snapped, rubbing his eyes tiredly. "Mikey gave me a dollar to bother you. He said it was pay back for breaking the TV." Don growled, thinking of a way evil enough to hang Mike from the dojo ceiling in place of Raph's punching bag. He hadn't broken the TV on purpose! Was it his falt that Hannah had sprayed toothpaste in his eye and he couldn't see the wires? "Jill, has anyone told you that you're to much of a pain for your age?" "Yeah. You, Linda, Raph, and your woman." Don laughed in spite of himself. "Emily said that, huh?" "Yeah. Raph was telling her how I was supposedly bothering you yesterday, and she asked if I was sure I wasn't Mikey in disguise." Don laughed and shook his head, following his little sister down the dark hallway and trying not to run into walls.
As Jill ran into the kitchen and headed straight for the cereal cupboard, Donny fumbled with the wall, trying to find the light switch. When he did, he flicked it on and watched Jill digging in the cereal cupboard. She was practically inside of it. "What kinda cereal do you want, Don?" she asked, her voice sounding muffled from inside the cupboard. Don jolted awake from his doze on the counter and looked at her. "Uh, Cheerios...I guess..." he yawned again and Jill rolled her eyes. "Now be quiet you're gunna wake the others." he yawned really loud that time, and Jill shrugged. "Why're you so tired?" Don smiled softly. " I'm not really accustomed to waking up at 3:40 in the morning." he said, and Jill smiled innocently. But then, her eyes went wide, or as wide as those little eyes would go. "Uh...oh..." she said, staring behind Donny. Don turned around, and smiled in spite of the situation. Leo was standing in the doorway, arms crossed and looking at Jill. "I told you you were being too loud." said Don out of the corner of his mouth. Jill narrowed her eyes at him, and then looked back at her oldest brother.
"What's all the noise in here?" asked nineteen year old Leo, arms still crossed. "Chill out Leo. Jill was just a little crazy this morning." defended Don, and Jill nodded, standing slightly behind him. Jilllian hated getting in trouble, especially with Leo. Leonardo shook his head. "She still shouldn't be so loud." Don rolled his eyes. "She wasn't being that loud!" "She's still in trouble for waking people up! Master Splinter says we have to be quiet in the morning so Natalie doesn't wake up!" "You sleep lighter than Natalie! You would have woken up if I dropped a pin outside your door!" "Just because you could sleep through Mikey playing his drums beside your head-" "Get over yourself! "Same to you!" "GUYS!" Leo and Don looked down at the ground, to see Jill standing between them, with both of her arms out and frowning at one to the other. "Stop fighting! You're going to wake everyone up anyway!" she snapped, and Leo turned red with embarressment. Don smiled, and bent down to pick her up. "We weren't fighting, we were having... a grown up conversation. "It didn't sound very grown up to me." said Jill, looking inoccently into his eyes. Don chuckled, and shook his head. He just got served by a seven year old! As Donny walked out of the room with Jillian, he turned around glared playfully at Leo, Leo doing the same. Grown men all act the same, no matter what species. Like complete children. (I'm sure you female readers can all agree with that)
In the living room, Don and Jill were greeted by the twins, 16 year olds Michaelangelo and Lindania, or Linda. They were both playing some game, and as Don got closer, he heard that it was the family's favorite game, Truth or Dare. A lot of times on a day when it was raining up top, or Splinter had 'Undergrounded' them, the entire family would sit in a circle and play Truth or Dare. It was a wonderful pass time. Donny remembered a long time ago when the habit first began, when, him, Leo, Raph, and the twins had just been little kids. It has been a rainy day topside, and the five of them were really bored. They had tried playing countless games, but for most of them, Mikey and Linda couldn't play because it required running, and although the two of them would grow into very fast teenagers, they were slower at learning to run than learning to talk. So, their final game had been Truth or Dare. It had only require sitting, and Mike and Linda had developed chattering very quickly. This game caught on quickly, and pretty soon, the little turtles had made it part of the schedule to play Truth or Dare at least once a day. They would even beg Master Splinter for ten more minutes before bed so they could have a quick game. And, when they had found the other girls(SEE MY SOON TO COME FIC: 'SISTER ORIGINS' TO FIND OUT WHERE THE OTHER GIRLS CAME FROM), they had passed the game onto them, and to this day, it was still a family pass time.
"Truth or Dare?" Linda demanded of Mike, and Mike scratched his head un decidedly. "I dunno... I don't wanna pick truth... but I definantly don't want to pick dare-" "Truth or Dare, Michael!" Linda snapped impatiently, and Mike jumped. "Alright, alright Lin, keep yer shell on! Dare!" Don laughed. "Oh, bad choice, Mikey. Linda's a killer when it comes to dares." Mike covered his mouth in horror, as though he couldn't believe his choice. Linda smirked evilly, and put a finger to her chin, thinking hard. "I dare you... to do an Elvis impression when Kristin comes over today." Mike burst into laughter, and so did Don. " This is the best dare ever!" exclaimed Mike, and him and Linda shook hands. "Alright, Mike. You want me to make it the worst dare ever? I dare you to do an Elvish impression during your katas this morning." Mike stared at her, as though she must be screwed up in the head. "You wan' me 'do what now?" he asked, raising an eyeridge. "You heard me." Linda said, grinning in sheer enjoyment of her evillness. Don shook his head, sighing in mock pity of his little brother. " You're in for it now Mike. You're gunna do flips till ya' can't flip no more." Mike whimpered fearfully, and glared at Linda with big brown eyes. "I hate you sooooo much right now."
Later, when everyone had awakened and eaten some breakfast, Master Splinter announced the coming of the time for practice. Don, Leo, Raph, and Mike all got up immediatly out of years of habit. However, the girls groaned and begged Splinter to give them just a while longer. "Girls, practice time is practice time!" Leo told them, as he walked into the dojo right behind Splinter. "Shut up Leo." Jen snapped, and got up to follow the rest of the family into the dojo.
When they had entered the dojo, Don heard Mikey whimpering to Raph. "I should just run. Right now! I'm going to embaress the life out of myself! Kris will think I'm a total idiot!" "But you are a total idiot already. How bad can it be?" joked Raph as he went to stand in line for katas. Splinter directed his attention to the eight girls standing to the side. "My daughters, kindly wait for Ms. Kurai to arrive. As for us, my sons, we will wait a few minutes for the boys to arrive." The turtles all nodded, and quiet conversations began. The girls all started to talking about clothes, make up, hair... boys... make up, clothes... hair...make up... The boys basically talked about how much they hated having to get up so early, except Leo, who told them that they should grow up and stop staying up so late so they weren't tired in the morning.
Soon enough, Kuria arrived with Nicole, Katie, Emily, Kristin, Gary, Josh, Derik, and Chris. Don smiled when he saw his girl, Emily, enter talking to her sister Kristin, who was Mikey's girl. Leo's girl was (Monica! lol just kidding. y'know, my old pen name was Leo's girl? ... never mind ;) ) Nicole, and Raphael's girl was Kate. Gary and Erica were noticably hitting on each other, despite the fact that they were only 13 years old. Linda and Josh started dating around last summer when Vicky had the incident with the zoo. Derik and Kara were unmistakably meant for each other, but they refused to think of each other as more than friends. They were just best buddys who happened to have EVERYTHING in common. Chris and Jeniffer were really thinking about a relationship, but as of now they were keeping it at a shy friendship.
Emily looked up from her conversation with Kris, and smiled widely at him. "Hey Donny!" she greeted happilly, and flung her arms around his kneck. Don nearly fell backwords, and laughed quietly. "Easy babe!" he said, putting his hands on her waist and kissing her cheek softly. Emily grinned happilly, and her cheeks turned pink. Splinter and Kurai called them all to both seperate ends of the room, and began practice. Don and Emily gave each other a quick kiss before desending to their appropriate ends of the room. Donny stood in line in between Raph and Leo. Leo was at the beginning of the line, obviously, followed by Donny, Raph, Mike, then came Josh, Chris, Derik, and Gary. Master Splinter stepped in front of them, and Donny saw Mikey with his eyes closed tight out of the corner of his eye. "Here comes yer dare, Mikey." whispered Raph teasingly, and Don chuckled quietly. He noticed Linda was watching triumphantly while Kurai got things ready. "Positions please." Splinter announced, and Mike whimpered loudly unintentiionally. Splinter looked at him sharply. "Do you wish to share something with the rest of us, Michaelangelo?" he asked, and Mikey shook his head, whimpering quietly again as he took his starting position. "Begin!" Splinter said, and Don heard Linda nearly busting a gut with muffled laughter. As katas began, Don heard Mike swear under his breath.
The eight boys leapt into the air, forming a side kick. Everyone yelled, "Heyah!" except Mikey, who yelled deeply," Huh!" in a quite good Elvis impression. Linda burst out laughing at this, clutching her stomache and gasping for breath. Mike continued to make Elvis sounds as he continued his kata. Don paused to look to the side. Kristin was staring at Mike with raised eyebrows and a disbelieving look on her face. Nicole rolled her eyes and said, "Your boyfriend is such a loser." Kristin's eyes flickered, and she looked away from Mikey and the rest as the Geisha training session began. Linda heard what Nicole said, and bit her lip. "Maybe this wasn't a good idea..." She looked worriedly back at her twin, who was about to finish his kata. On the spin kick, Mike yelled one final, "Huh!" and stood timidly where he landed. Leo was staring at him as though he was some kind of lunatic or something. Don shook his head. Poor kid. Splinter turned stern eyes apon his youngest son, and frowned. " None of us found that amusing, Michaelangelo. What do you have to say for yourself?" Mikey looked quickly to the side at Linda, who was watching worriedly. "I...I..." Mikey stuttered. Splinter stared un blinkingly at him with slight anger in his eyes. "I thought it would be funny, Master Splinter." Mikey lied, and Don looked down to the ground. IDIOT. He could have told Linda off! Oh well, no going back now... "Well it certainly wasn't, Michaelangelo." Splinter scolded, and beckoned Mikey forward. "You will do fifty flips, Michaelangelo, and you are not to leave your room once you are finished. Understood?" "Yes Sensei." said Mikey, and stood quietly next to Splinter.
Splinter and Kurai dismissed both groups, and Don ran to find Kristin. He saw her talking with Emily in the living room. "Kris! Hey, Kristin!" Kris looked up, and smiled at him. "Hey Don. Whats up?" "About Mikey, Kristin! He's not an idiot! It was a dare, and really big dare! I don't know why Mike didn't say that, he's just such a softie!" Kristin nodded, and looked at Nicole. "Nicole called him a loser." she said, and Nicole bowed her head. "I know, I was listening. But, just... he's not, okay!" He got up and walked quickly out of the room, to his own. He closed the door behind him, and sighed. Well this sucks, he thought. Him and Mikey were supposed to take Kris and Em to the movies tonight. Guess they'd have to cancel. Donny walked to his desk that was placed beside his bed, and sat down in the old desk chair. Donettello's desk was so piled up with crap you could hardly tell there was a desk under all of it. He had his flat screen computer on the right end of the desk, the monitor of which was flooded with post-it notes that had little reminders and jot downs of details and experiment out comes. Strewn all over the desk were print outs of things that he had found on the internet that he HAD to keep, like a colorful Periodic Table of Elements, and some deep detail about nuclear physics that would have made the rest of his family's brains hurt. He also had pencils and nuts and bolts every which where, and he also had an old cofee cup from that one night he had stayed up past three reading about Titanium. In the cup there was a wrench that he had placed there absent mindedly when he had to abandon his machine that he was working on, that lay beside the desk on the floor. He smiled slightly at his oh too familiar surroundings, and groaned quietly as he lay back in his chair.
He must have dozed off, because he jumped violantly as he heard a light knock on the door. "Donny, sweetie are you in there?" Don smiled, and nodded. "Yea, come on in Em." Emily opened the door, and shut it behind her wiht a tiny creak. Don hadn't noticed how beautiful she looked today. She was wearing the grey sweat shirt he had gotten her a few weeks ago. It said her name on the left side. He wondered how in the hell she got her hair so shiny. He thought he must be the luckiest turtle alive. "Hey, babe" he said standing up and taking her hand gently. She smiled warmly, and put her free hand on the upper part of his arm. "Hey handsome." she whispered, and Don laughed. "Yeah, right." he muttered, and Emily stood on her toes and gave him a tender kiss on the lips. "I love how you do that when I'm not ready." he said, and she smiled at him. He wrapped his arms around her, and she put her arms around his kneck, and they kissed romantically. (awwwwwww) It was moments like this that made Donny glad he was alive. Without this girl, he didn't know if he would be able to go on.
What he didn't know was that he was about to get the answer to that question.
