Baby Leo
Disclaimer: I do not own the turtles – Poss goes over to corner and cries.
This is not a Toddler Turtles story as you will soon find out.
Enjoy and review…..
Prologue
Four fifteen year old turtles raced out of the tunnel as fast as their green legs could take them. They only managed to dodge the strike of the beam, though when they were at the entrance Leonardo tripped.
"No, keep going I'm fine!" He yelled at his brothers, who had stopped to notice.
Suddenly a flash of orange light filled the tunnel and beamed right onto Leo. The others turned back when the light burned their eyes.
"Oh shell?" Raph cried as Mikey and Don turned around to see what their red masked brother was upset over.
They turned and there before them was still Leo, only he now looked a good ten years younger and chubbier.
Chapter 1
"And how on earth do we explain to Master Splinter why his previously strong and oldest son is now no more than a baby?" Raph said to Donnie. They were heading home through the sewer – Mikey had drawn the last straw to get the responsibility of dragging little Leo home.
"Splinter!" Little Leo cried, "Me want to show him my ninja kick!"
"You can't ninja kick yet!" Raph growled.
"Yeah I can see Raphie, watch me Raphie," Little Leo performed a rather lousy five year old version of a mini kick. It looked more like a hop than a kick.
"Keep practicing, one day you might be a pro," Mikey winked.
"MIKEY!" Raph swatted Mikey on the head.
"What I am encouraging him…" Mikey said.
"See Big brother Mikey thinks I'm really good. You always put us down Raph!" Leo cried, kicking his older brother in the shins. Raph growled and got ready to punch..
"No!" Donnie stoped him, "He's just a kid!"
"He's Leo - only smaller!" Raph cried.
"He just said Mikey's his big brother? Leo's the oldest!"
"No I'm not, I'm Splinter's baby."
"Oh spare me," Raph muttered.
"What do you mean?" Donnie crouched down at the five year olds level.
"I'm littler than all of you."
"He's got a point," Mikey pointed out, "Can we keep him this way? I've never been a big brother before."
"Mikey – he's your big brother, he's our big brother!" Raph yelled.
"He yells a lot don't he, Donnie. Hey Donnie lets go race cars!" Little Leo cried.
"Umm… not now Leo, we got to go tell Master Splinter," Donnie said, looking at the other two.
"I got the short straw looking after him – you dudes do it!" Mikey said.
"You goner tell Splinter I followed you to that fight with Shredder? Please Donnie don't! He'll ground me again! I don't want to miss out on cartoons again. Hey Mikey is it time for Bert and Ernie?"
"I don't know?" Mikey looked puzzled, "I haven't watched Bert and Ernie for years."
"You watched it with me just yesterday after you guys trained with Master Splinter!"
Mikey blushed.
"He did, did he?" Raph smirked.
"Yeah and you got me that new Transformers DVD."
"Okay, Okay! Mikey go watch TV with um… Leo. Me and Raph will go have a chat to Master Splinter," Donnie said at the door to the lair.
"What? Why do I have to come? You're a big boy; you don't need me to hold your hand!"
Little Leo laughed, "Raphie! That's funny!"
"Unless you want to watch Bert and Ernie, then come with me to tell Master Splinter!" Donnie hissed.
Raphael growled but followed his brother.
"Come on Mikey let's watch TV!" Little Leo jumped on the couch.
"Leo, you'll get in trouble if Master Splinter catches you!" Mikey cringed.
"Not if we don't tell him!" Leo giggled.
