Angel: I don't know when other episodes will premiere, but The Purple Gang and Man Vs. Sewer are still on the wiki page listed as episodes. What I do know, is that if you want to read the end of Sparring Partner, you guys can go and read it now since this is episode 31. Also, like I said in the previous episode, this one was pushed back from airing and got dumped on Nicktoons because of a gay relationship reference issue...I don't see what that has to do with this episode since there's nothing like that here unlike Warren and Hypno, Sitting in a Tree...maybe it's like that Angry Beavers thing where they were freaking out about cancellation and that episode was never animated, thus taking the unrelated second episode with it. Who knows?

I don't know when the next update will be since we haven't gotten any new episode titles, so once again, I am on hiatus. In the meantime, I'll be working on TMNT 2007. See you whenever XD

In the mutant pizza place at the Hidden City, April, Amy, Leo, and Donnie are sharing a booth. April cringes at the pizza presented to them. There's wiggling worms on top of the dish with only one eye each.

"Nom, nom, nom!" They repeat and April stares at it in confusion.

"Is that pizza looking at me?" April asks Amy, who shrugs.

"Who's to say what they're really looking at?"

"Eat! Eat!"

"Uh, guys? Could we maybe just order cheese?" She smiles at them nervously.

"What, you mean not get super creepy supreme?" Donnie asks, holding up a slice with a worm on it.

"I wish, just once, we could go to a normal pizza parlor," April sighs under her breath. Sometimes she just needed a break from weird things...do stuff that normal people do, like go to the movies, a sports game, or a normal pizza place where there's no hint of evil.

"But you know we can't go to human places with, uh, this whole situation," Leo gestures to his face.

"You go to Amy's place all the time!" April retorts back to him.

"Yeah, usually after closing," Amy gestures to them. "If they show up during work, I usually take a break and meet them outside."

"Embrace it, April. You're a magnet for weirdness," Leo grins, shrugging.

"I know, it's just...sometimes a girl just needs normal," She cringes as she sees the two turtles eating the pizza.

"What do you mean, what's not normal about this?" Donnie asks in a muffled voice, a worm flying towards Amy. She ducks and it hits the wall.

"Dude. Your mouth is full of worms. I'm sitting near you," Amy points to the table, wagging a finger. "Uh uh."

"Okay, birthday boy! Get ready to par...tay!" Exploding Frankie, a slime yokai, explodes into smile, spraying everyone and everything around him. Donnie, Amy, and Leo had put up their menus to avoid getting hit with it.

"Oh, Exploding Frankie never gets old," He comments and they stare at April, who's covered in slime. It drips onto her body.

"I'm going to class," She mumbles, standing up and leaving. As she's walking, a piece of slime falls off her shoe, forming back into Exploding Frankie. However, his left eye is missing.

"Hey, anybody seen my eye?" He looks around for it.

"Oh! I'm supposed to re-open the store!" Amy stands up, grabbing her purse. She waves to the turtles. "Bye."

"Bye..." Leo sighs sadly, Donnie looking between him and her.

"Stop sulking, bro. It's never gonna happen."

"Never say never, Donnie!" Leo stands up in determination. "I know I'll get there one day. It's just a matter of time!"

"Uh huh," Donnie replies casually as he stares at his phone. Leo gives him a blank look.


The school bell rings and April comes in a second later, panting. "So, everyone has their lab partners."

"No!" April groans as she goes to her desk. "I'm a partner-less freak!"

"Miss O'Neil, this is science. We leave emotions at the door. You and Amy can partner with our new student."

She looks up as the crowd is surrounding someone. Amy rolls into the room and stares at them. She's standing behind the counter of her bakery as she's finishing up some cupcakes.

"Please be normal, please be normal, please be normal," April whispers hopefully. It's a Hawaiian teenage girl with short black hair, thick brown eyebrows, thick eyelashes and black eyes. She also has a gold piercing on the left side of her nose and bright pink lipstick. She wears a mahogany headband, a long-sleeved light pink blouse, a magenta dress with a dark mahogany ruffle, white kitten socks, and a pair of silver boots. She also has an amulet that is slime green with a three-pointed gold frame.

"Aloha!" She greets cheerfully, both girls blinking at her. "It means both hello and goodbye," She explains as she shakes April's hand. "This time I'm using it as hello. I'm Sunita. Sorry, was that weird?"

"No, I've seen weird, and that is not it...besides her," April jerks a thumb at Amy.

"Hey," She waves briefly, going back to decorating one-handed while controlling the robot in her other hand.

"Uh..." Sunita blinks at her.

"Oh, that's Amy. She can't attend school physically because she runs her own business. And I'm April," April explains to the new girl.

"Well, nice to meet you, Amy," Sunita waves at the screen. "I love those cupcakes."

Amy gasps as she turns to her, hands on her cheeks. She didn't know why, but Sunita complimenting her made her felt appreciated today. "Thanks! It's pink buttercream."

"Open your books to page 143, and please, let's be adults about these gruesome photos of human anatomy," The teacher tells them. Sunita holds out the page to the girls, which is literally the inside of a human body mapped out.

"Cool..." Sunita smiles at them.

"Cool..." April comments slowly.

"Ugh, man, I hate anatomy. It always grosses me out when I'm trying to bake," Amy comments in disgust, putting sprinkles over the cupcakes.

"Oops, you've got a little goo-goo shmuch on you," Sunita notices the slime on April's shoulder from the pizza place. She flicks it off and it lands on the floor, starting to move.

"Psst, April," Amy calls out as the screen looks down. Sunita looks at the book in awe. April gasps sharply, realizing it must've came from Exploding Frankie. She dives to it and wipes it off as quickly as she can.

"Is everything okay?" Sunita peeks over her shoulder.

"Yup! All normal here," April turns to her with a grin. "Nice boots, by the way."

"Really?" Amy's screen can only see the heads of people, so she has to tilt the screen to look anywhere else. She tilts it down. "Oh, those are nice boots."

"Hey, what's your numbers? We should all hang out sometime," Sunita puts a finger to her cheek.

"Yes, we should," April smiles at the mention of doing anything normal. "That'd be totally normal. I mean, totally. So yeah, let's exchange numbers."

"You two go on ahead. Normal is overrated," Amy shrugs at them. "I'm too busy to do anything normal, anyway."

"Aww," Sunita pouts at her.

"I'll still give you my number though. Maybe you can call me sometime," Amy presses a button and her number appears on the screen over a black background.


April is walking over to Amy's shop to pick up something sweet as she's texting Sunita. She waits for a reply until Leo suddenly pops out of the trash, scaring her. Amy opens the back door and rolls her eyes at him.

"April, you gotta come. Mikey found some invisible paint, we're gonna put it on Dad's tail."

April laughs at the thought, Amy hiding her mouth to stifle a laugh. "I love you guys, and def send me pics, but now that school's over, I'm just gonna chill and have a nice normal day."

Donnie slides down from the fire escape, hanging by the ladder upside down. "Scoff. Are you really still on this whole 'I want things to be normal' gig?" Donnie uses air quotes.

"Uh, what were these for?" She uses air quotes on him defensively. "I am normal."

April flew around Kendra on a jet pack.

She jumped towards the cage Mayhem was trapped in, knawing at the vines. Huginn and Munnin grabbed her.

She hollered as she wore a hazmat suit, sailing into the sewers with Amy as they were holding soup for their sick friends.

"Yes, what big city girl doesn't have a kayak and hazmat suit?" Donnie asks with a smug grin.

"Look, guys," April facepalms at the memories. "Just because I love the bonkers, doesn't mean I don't want normal sometimes too. Amy, how do you do it?"

"I don't do anything," Amy shakes her head. "April, my life has never been normal, and I don't want things to be normal...they never can be, anyway. It took me years to accept my family wasn't coming back. And with all of that, I had to deal with the consequences, including times like this."

April glances away awkwardly as she suddenly remembers Amy's mother.

"I mean, you can try, but it'll be easier for everyone involved if you just admit you're a totally weirdo magnet," Leo places a hand on his cheek.

"He's got a point. Just look at what happened when we tried to return a DVD," Amy snorts, leaning against the back door.

"I've got non-weirdo friends, like Amy and our new friend Sunira...S-Sunira..." She looks at her phone. "Sunita, who I'm texting to see if she wants to hang out later! And she does! Ha, in your face!""

"Whoa, hey, don't bring me into this," Amy gestures to herself. "I thought we established that I'm not normal. Uh, hello?" She holds out her hand, electricity coming from it.

"Heh heh heh," April snickers, dancing while walking away. She then peeks around the corner. "Amy, I'll take an éclair to go."

"Do you want a coffee to go with that too?" Amy asks in amusement.

"Nah, I'm good."

"One éclair coming up, hold the coffee. Meet me inside," Amy jerks a thumb to inside the building.

"Do you think April could really have a normal day?" Leo asks Donnie and Amy.

"Short answer? No. Long answer, noooooooooo," Donnie drags out the word.

"More like impossible. I don't go by a day without you or Chewbacon doing something," Amy rolls her eyes.

Leo lifts himself up out of the trash can. "Then it's up to her three totally-not-weirdo friends to make this happen."

Donnie suddenly falls from the ladder. "Ah!"

"Amy, you still have that costume chest, right?" Leo turns to her.

"You mean the one Mikey insisted I have when I moved out?" Amy crosses her arms at the thought. Leo grins at her widely and her eyes widen in realization, groaning. "Oh no..."

"Makeover!" He sings, dragging her inside the shop.

"I have to get April her éclair first!" She protests to him.

"Still here," Donnie calls out from the ground, holding up a finger.


April and Sunita take selfies together at the park. Donnie has a yellow bandana over his head, wearing a purple jacket, light blue shirt, and purple skirt. Leo pops out of the bushes, wearing a blue dress, pink scarf over his neck, a pearl necklace, and a grey wig. He's also wearing purple eyeshadow. Amy is wearing a pink dress, blue scarf, and has a blue bandana over her hair to cover it. She's wearing horn-rimmed glasses over her eyes.

"Why do you always make us dress up as old ladies?" He asks, adjusting the wig.

"Number one, comfort. Number two, to blend in as we monitor April's day for max normalcy," Donnie looks through the goggles.

"I don't know why I agreed to this," Amy pinches her nose.

"Because you love us~" Leo leans in towards her and pushes his face away.

"Why'd you need to stuff your chests?" She gestures to them.

"At least we stand out since you have a flat butt," Donnie shrugs and she grits her teeth at him.

"Thanks for showing me around!" Sunita dances around. "New York is a-mazing! They took all the charm of the sidewalk, and made it higher! So cool!"

"Ha!" April laughs at her. "You should've been up here when we were fighting Meat Sweats!"

"Huh?" Sunita asks in confusion and April realizes what she just said. This was supposed to be normal. Meat Sweats did not equal normal.

"I mean, uh...fighting the sweats I get when eating too much pork," April rubs her neck, her eyes widening. "That's not any better, is it...?"

"How's she doing, Hortense?" Leo is peeking over Donnie's head.

"She almost blew it, Patty," Donnie then notices Sunita's boots. "Oh, fabu boots. And that is Don and Hortense talking."

Amy rolls her eyes at the codenames. "Hold on," Leo takes the goggles from him. "What have we got here?"

"You shall not pass!" The Dragon Master is across from April, blocking people's way.

"Ugh, this guy again?" Amy complains at him.

"Oh no!" Donnie and Leo recoil back in panic. "We know how April freaks out at cosplay wizards."

"Operation: Normal to the rescue!" Leo declares and turns to Amy. "Come on, Helga."

"Don't call me Helga," She narrows her eyes at him in annoyance and they take off in separate directions. Leo and Amy hide in a bush, staring down at the girls. He throws a bottle at a passing pigeon, causing the girls to turn around. Donnie, flying with his Hover Shell, takes the Dragon Master away to Amy, who throws him into the trash can and shuts the lid.

April and Sunita turn to each other, shrugging and deciding to ignore it. "Omg, what is that?!" Sunita sees something, hugging April who freaks out.

"What is it?!" There's a pretzel stand up ahead with seemingly no one around to run it. April sighs in relief at it, feeling embarrassed over her reaction.

"A pretzel cart? Have you never had a genuine New York street pretzel?"

"No!" Sunita drops her safely onto the ground. "But can I now? Please, please, please!"

April smiles and they walk over to the cart. "It is on!"

Foot Recruit and Foot Brute are in disguise as the sellers of the booth. "Get ready. She's coming our way."

Amy and Leo see the girls, nodding. Then they turn to the pretzel cart and see the villains. "Awww, the Foot?! Man, evil guys have the worst timing!"

"They're gonna ambush them! Do something quick!" Amy exclaims to him and he pulls out his sword.

"Come on, portal, don't let me down!" Leo swings his weapon, making a portal in front of them.

"Yes!" Amy cheers and they jump inside quickly. The portal opens at the pretzel cart and they jump out.

"Ha! Nailed it!"

Amy pokes his shoulder and he turns around to see the shocked villains, as they didn't know he could do that. Leo kicks the portal over to them and they fall through.

"E-Eventually."

"Good job," Amy leans in and kisses him on the cheek. He gasps at the praise, holding his cheek. They hear giggles and they turn to see the girls approaching.

"Uh oh." He quickly throws the sword.

"Ow," Donnie calls out in pain.

They rush over to the pretzel cart. "Get your pretzels! Get 'em in yellow or dark yellow!"

"Or maybe cinnamon?" Amy holds up a cinnamon pretzel, holding a cane as she's hunched over. April's eyes widen as she recognizes them immediately.

"What are you two doing here?" She grits her teeth at them.

"Oh, what cute old ladies," Sunita peeks over her shoulder, to April's horror. "Are you three friends?"

"No!" April moves her away from them. "That'd be weird. Not that I don't like old ladies, but they're old ladies. Let's go get pizza," She pushes Sunita out of the park. She really didn't hate old ladies.

She just hated ones that are spying on her.

"She called us cute," Leo snickers at Amy.

"No, she said it because we're dressed like old ladies," She rolls her eyes at him.

"Still counts, my lady~" He puckers his lips at her and she drags him away.

"Let's just go..."

The portal opens from above, destroying the cart.


The girls are at Lopardo's Lou Mikey Toney Tony Pizza, sitting near the statue outside. April sits back and relaxes, breathing a sigh of relief. She couldn't remember the last time she went to a normal pizza place.

"This is more like it...two normal girls eating normal pizza, in a normal pizza restaurant."

"It's too bad Amy couldn't come. I would've liked to learn more about her," Sunita sighs a bit.

"Parrrtay!" She hears and she gasps, hiding behind the menu. Sunita turns around with a smile as a girl is celebrating her birthday.

April peeks to see the giggling birthday girl. "Happy Birthday, Cindy."

Sunita turns back to April and her smile turns into a frown. "Everything okay?"

"Sorry," April puts a hand to her temple. "A rough birthday flashback...one regular pizza it is."

"Waiter," Sunita says once he appears. "These two New Yorkers would like two of your New Yorkiest pizzas!"

Leo, Amy, and Donnie peek over the statue. "Operation: Pizza, subset of Operation Normal, is going great!" Donnie smiles as he sees the two.

"Uh, I wouldn't be so sure," Leo points to Foot Recruit and Foot Brute, again. Amy growls in annoyance at them.

"What is it with these two today?!" First the park, and now this. Couldn't they leave well enough alone?

"Operation: Normal just went defcon Red Alert!" Leo clenches his fists.

"We usually go by number, but let's move."

They jump into action, engaging in a fight with them. "And we'll take two waters," April says as the fighting groups move right past them.

"And would you like any lemon?"

Foot Recruit slams Leo's cheek into the window. "No!" April holds her head in panic.

"Yup, lemon does throw off a lot of people," The waiter agrees with her.

"Um, I'll be right back. See if you can find us a dessert," April giggles nervously, handing Sunita the menu.

She gasps sharply as she looks at it. "I will not let you down."

Leo is kicked into a brick wall, sliding to a stop. He looks up to see April and Amy looking down at him. "Leo! Wait...are you good? You okay?"

Leo laughs, giving her a thumbs up.

"Good, good...now, m, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but...ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME!?" She shouts so loud and angry that their headgear fly up into the air for a second.

"Noooo," Leo rolls his eyes slowly, smiling nervously.

"Whaaaat? No way," Amy puts her hands behind her back, whistling.

"Sooo," April narrows her eyes at them. "You just happened to be selling pretzels earlier and now fighting right here?"

"Would you believe yes?" Leo smiles widely, shrinking underneath her death glare.

"Okay," She sighs in exasperation as she stands up. "But I just want one day where I don't get caught up in all the weirdness," April gestures to Donnie fighting Foot Brute. "Please, just...fight somewhere else?"

She walks off and they stand up. "Oh no."

Foot Recruit kicks them away and they crash. "You didn't," Amy narrows her eyes at the woman angrily.

"I will kick your flat butt between my toes!" Foot Recruit threatens, clenching a fist. Amy's face gets all red as smoke comes from her ears.

"That's it!" She charges at her with a yell and cats can be heard screeching as they fight.

Sunita is about to take a slice of pizza when April comes back. "Pizza's so last week. Let's go! Out the back." She drags the girl away, making her drop the pizza slice.


They go to the LazerDome to play laser tag together, hiding behind a platform as they look at their targets. April slides on the floor, jumping into the air and eliminating three players. Sunita jumps into the air, spinning around as she also eliminates three. She joins April, who lands in a crouch.

"Now this is what I'm talking about!" She cheers as there's no sign of her friends here.

"Laser tag was a great idea! Cover me!"

April does so and hears grunting noises. She looks behind her to see Leo and Amy battling Foot Recruit, to her disbelief.

"Really?" She sighs at them and walks over. "Again? Come on, you guys!"

They have their fingers on Foot Recruit's face, Leo with a broken tooth as he smiles sheepishly. "Ruining my normal night and laser tag?" She narrows her eyes at them. "Laser tag is...sacred..."

"Beyond sacred," Foot Recruit agrees with her. "How could you?!"

"We've been trying to help you have a normal day, but those Foot bozos keep following you," Leo narrows his eyes at Foot Recruit.

"This perra called my butt flat and I'm not letting her go down that easy!" Amy fumes as her teeth are sharp, a flame coming from her head.

"That's what you think we're doing? Ha!" Foot Recruit laughs and tackles them, throwing them onto the ground.

"I'm getting really tired of you guys!" Amy slams down a hand onto the ground.

"Okay, look," April pinches a temple. "I'll help you kick their butts, and then you three gotta go! Deal?"

The two smile at her and they fist bump.

"Deal. Operation: Normal is about to get unnormal, and then go back to normal!"

They run towards Foot Recruit while Sunita is firing at other players. She glances back at Donnie battling with Foot Brute. Donnie spins his staff around, jumping over Foot Brute's attacks. He suddenly grabs the staff and knocks Donnie into the ground repeatedly.

"Look out!"

He looks up at Sunita as she spins around, kicking him all the way to the second level.

"Uh, was that Sunita?" Donnie asks in shock. "Got a little pepper."

Sunita jumps off him, backing away as April hits her back. "April!"

"Sunita? What's, uh, new?"

"You know...stuff."

They're suddenly awkward around each other because of the villains. Sunita sees something behind April. "Look out!"

Foot Recruit lunges towards April, about to kick her. "Ditto!"

Foot Brute jumps towards Sunita.

"Oh no you don't!" Donnie, Amy, and Leo tackle them. "Grandmas of the year!"

April grabs Sunita so that they hide around the corner. "Was that a flying turtle in an old purple dress? And Amy too?" Sunita jerks a thumb at them.

"Um...yep. Look, Sunita, you're way cool and this has been a blast, but there's some super dangerous guys that are after me, and I'll text you later, maybe we can get some ice cream?"

"After you?" Sunita asks in surprise. "No, they're after me!"

"What?" April is confused. "Why would the Foot Clan be after you?"

Sunita sighs slowly. "They've been following me for days. That's why I went undercover as a human. I just wanted a normal day!" She presses her amulet, engulfing herself in green. April covers her eyes and when she looks at Sunita, her body is now a slimy green color and body mass. All of her physical features are a slime green color, with a part of her "slime hair" covering the left side of her face.

April gasps in shock. "You're a yokai?"

"Uh, googly shmuch," Sunita corrects her. "You had some on your shoulder earlier."

"You mean Exploding Frankie?!" April exclaims in recognition.

"Yeah, he's my Pops," Sunita tells her and they peek over the platform to see the Foot Clan kicking their friends' butts.

"Hey Sunita~" April sings as she gets an idea. "Isn't today your birthday?"

"Today isn't my birthday," She shakes her head. "Th-ohhh," She catches onto April's plan. "Good thinking."

April grabs her legs and spins her around, throwing her to the others.

"B-B-Bang!" She explodes into pieces, knocking Foot Brute into Foot Recruit.

"I shall require medical attention..."

"April, what happened? Where's Sunita?" Leo asks as they sit up. April grins, gesturing to all the slime, to their shock.

"She's in puddles! April, it is not 'normal' to liquefy your friends!" Donnie says in shock.

"Um...that's not possible," Amy looks around at the slime.

"Yeah," April points to the floor and Sunita forms back into her body. She presses her amulet and turns back to normal, giving a two finger salute.

"Oh ho ho! She's like Exploding Frankie," Leo realizes as she smiles. "That never gets old. I love it!"

"Oh, you're Amy!" Sunita recognizes the girl, shaking her hand. "Nice to finally meet you."

"The feeling is, ah..." Amy looks down at her old lady clothes. "Somewhat mutual."

"Ah, so, I guess you never stopped being a weirdo magnet after all, huh April?" Donnie says knowingly.

"You know what? I don't need to be normal. For me, weird is normal," April grins at him. "And am I so cool with that," She wraps an arm around Sunita and Amy.

"As a fellow weirdo, I concur," Sunita smiles and looks at Leo. "Hey, fake pearls, you're standing on my toe shmuch. I need that to fully reform my-" She looks down at her feet, realizing now that she's wearing only socks. "Hey, where are my boots?"

"Aw, they were really nice too," Amy pouts a little.

"So, who are these guys?" Sunita gestures to the turtles.

"Neon Leon," Leo gestures to himself, Amy stepping on his foot. "Ouch."

"Whoops," She looks away with a smirk. She did that on purpose...only she gets to call him Leon. When she wanted to. Not that she did.

"Donatello, the funniest, smartest-"

"We get it," Amy interrupts him sharply.

"Charming, isn't she?" Leo smiles as he jerks a thumb to Amy.

"Is, there, uh, something going on with you two?" Sunita smirks in amusement.

"No!" Amy groans at this. "First Warren Stone, now Exploding Frankie's daughter? Ugh!" She storms over to the entrance and they stare after her. None of them knew she was only acting, though.

"Ah, I love it when she reacts like that," Leo puts his arms behind his head casually. His eyes widen as he remembers something. "Hey, you kissed me on the cheek! What was that supposed to mean?!" He chases after her curiously.

"Nothing!" She denies immediately.

"I've got bets that they'll get together soon," April grins at Sunita.

"It's never gonna happen. They're just too different," Donnie rolls his eyes.

"Opposites attract!" The girls sing and he shakes his head.


Foot Recruit places Sunita's silver boots on a platform. They turn into the shoes of the Kuroi Yoroi. "The dark armor is almost complete..."

Foot Recruit places the feet underneath the armor. "We are one step closer to its dark power. SO DARK! So powerful..."

A roar comes from the armor as only a few pieces are needed...
