A camera pans over to Raph, who's sitting in his room. "Okay, we're rolling. So, tell me, what are the Lair Games?" April asks curiously.
"Ah, well, it started six years ago," Raph starts off, "When we got swept up in the water bottle challenge."
O'Neil Productions Presents
"The Lair Games are the single greatest day of the year!" Mikey exclaims from his hammock. "It's better than Halloween, Thanksgiving, my birthday..."
"It's a one day," Raph holds up a finger. "16 event, brother-versus-brother competition. But this time, we have our first female competitor this year, Alina Elisa Santiago!"
"I just wanna say, for the record, that I'm only doing this because Raph wouldn't stop bugging me," Amy crosses her arms, sitting in a chair in front of the skate park. "Last year I didn't even compete because I had other priorities."
And by other priorities, she means work.
An April O'Neil Production
"Uh, me finding a quarter day, me finding a quarter anniversary day," Mikey continues listing days.
"It challenges you," Raph smirks towards the camera. "Both physically and mentally." He throws up a water bottle in the air and it lands on a pipe. He nods curtly towards April. "And this year was the craziest year ever..."
The Lair Games, A film by April O'Neil
"As is tradition," Splinter announces as he's the referee. Leo is standing next to him up on stage, wearing medals. "At the annual Lair Games, the winner of last year's-"
"As five-time champ, I'd like you all to stand while I speak," He interrupts his father, hands behind his back.
"Ugh, losing to Leo is the worst," Raph couldn't help but comment in disgust. "You know how they say act like you've been there before? Leo never read that book."
"Yeah," Amy puts her right leg over her left one. "One of the things Leo always mentions to me is how he's 'crushed' his brothers for the past five years. Most of the time, I just pretend to listen and put on my earplugs before I laugh at his jokes."
"When was that?" April asks suspiciously, Amy's eyes widening in alarm.
"D-Don't know what you're talking about," She darts her eyes from left to right. She's the sane one, and she almost gave away her secret relationship!
"When I say king, you say Leo," Leo hollers into the microphone, to the annoyance of Splinter. "King!" He holds out the mic to them, but no one reacts. "Leo! That was great. Okay, but enough about my numerous victories—there are many. This year, in an effort to inspire you to be as great as I am..."
Donnie grumbles, rolling his eyes as April is recording in the background. Leo winks at Amy, which April just happened to catch. Both he and Amy cringe before he snaps out of it.
"I'm offering up the biggest prize yet: My room. AKA, the best room."
His brothers' eyes widen as their mouths are open in shock. Now one of them had to win.
Leo has on a robe and sunglasses as he moves away the curtain to the entrance. He has medals on a shelf.
"It wasn't about the room. It was about taking something away from him. Something he loves," Raph's eyes get crazy at the thought of Leo crying when he loses!
"Man, we were just tired of losing," Mikey complains in his room. "And no one lost worse than Donnie."
"I hate to say this, but Donnie is probably the most uncoordinated when it comes to strength, skill, and...yeah, just about everything," Amy shrugs at April. "And trust me, it is so obvious!"
Donnie tried to slice a watermelon in half last year, screaming in pain. "Ow!"
Leo chuckled at him.
And then 2 years prior, when he tried to throw pizza, it landed on his face.
Last year, he tried kicking the fruit and yet ended up falling flat on his back, to the amusement of Leo.
And then the first year, he just cowered, hugging himself on the floor as he was surrounded by beach balls, wearing glasses on his face.
Leo chortled as Donnie brought in his bo staff, trying to use his rocket on the watermelon and failing. He was planted against the ramp, flying around uncontrollably. Leo laughed his head off at this, falling on the floor.
"No one wanted Leo to chump them again this year," Raph shakes his head. "We were ready for war..."
"Ladies and gentlemen," Splinter says into a microphone of his own. "Reporting to you live on the scene from our first event, the Handstand Hill-Bomb."
Shelldon gets close-ups from the ramp as the five contestants do a handstand on top of skateboards. The stop light goes off and they slide off the top.
"And they're off! Ooh, it looks like someone has separated themselves from the pack."
Leo gets a head start. "Down the stretch they come...and...it's...blue," Splinter sags his shoulders as Leo passes the finish line. "Ugh," He rips up a piece of paper. "I knew I shouldn't have bet on red. Now I owe Pink 20 bucks!"
Leo steps up to the camera to show himself. "I may be bald, but call me the hare because I smoke tortoises!"
"In second...purple?!" Donnie speeds right past them, to the shock of Leo. "I can't believe it! This is unprec-" Leo snatches the microphone from him, putting it in front of his mouth.
"Second place, huh? What's that feel like?" He presses the mic to Donnie's face.
"Nardo, please don't," Donnie warns him.
"Because I only get first," Leo brags, dropping the mic on top of Donnie's head. He frowns at this.
"Second, baby!" He jumps up in his chair while April gets his confession in the lab.
"Donnie got second! And I was like, am I dreaming?" Raph asks in shock.
"Sci-fi turtle seems to be full of surprises," Amy blinks at April. "Never expected that of him based on what the guys told me."
"And what was that?" April questions her.
"That Donnie basically blows and that Leo can be a competitive jack-ass."
"Amy! Language!" Her friend warns the brunette.
"What? I'm not wrong," Amy defends herself.
"I just got second," Donnie sings while doing a victory dance. "I just got second!" He does a trumpet from the bust of his own head.
"...It wasn't a great start for me," Mikey chuckles nervously, because he landed face-plant into the finish line somehow. On the score board, each contestant goes up a little on scores.
"And it's a clear, indoor day," Splinter reports as they're in the sewers now. "Conditions are ideal, as we begin event number two...Pipe Goop Chicken."
"My signature event," Leo stands proudly as Splinter is wearing a hazmat suit. Amy raises a brow at it. "The goop that separates the turtles from the tadpoles."
"Uh, that's not exactly-"
"The mice from the rat," Leo interrupts him, his mask tails landing on Raph's face. He blows them away.
"Yeah again, you're wrong," Donnie informs his brother as they're all laying down in front of a pipe.
"Who's gonna flinch first? Wow, well, my money's on Donnie," Leo puts an arm around Amy next to him. She smacks his hand off, glancing around for April.
"Three, two, one," Splinter turns the valve and the pipe above them begins to shake.
"Pizza supreme in the sky, please give me strength," Raph prays as Leo is laughing. The pipe sputters out smoke before green slime comes out of it. Leo grins widely while Donnie gives a nervous look. Amy's eyes widen at the substance. "Ohh, it's too gross. I can't do it!" Raph immediately leaves.
"My face is too pretty to be slimed!" Mikey runs off, hugging Splinter.
"Final three."
"Time to tap out, brother. Time to remember who you are," Leo and Donnie are both sweating as they stand their ground. Amy cringes towards it.
"You first, brother," Donnie glares at Leo. The large drop of slime is about to hit their faces.
"It's your last chance," Leo chuckles nervously, the softshell breathing heavily. Leo whimpers before he and Amy back out. "No!"
"Blue's out! Purple wins?" Splinter says in surprise. April zooms in on Donnie's face.
"YES! I w-" The slime suddenly lands all over his body.
"Omigosh!" Mikey shouts as the others join him.
"Grossss, it's in his mouth!" Amy complains, looking away in disgust.
"The guy who wears gloves to read his comics got gooped!" Raph exclaims in shock.
"Literally, the taste of victory was horrible," Donnie states, looking around. "But figuratively, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom."
"You should've seen the look on his face," Mikey pulls up his stereo, pressing play. "It was then I knew we were witnessing history!"
"It was literally the most disgusting thing I've ever seen," Amy deadpans to the camera. "It was so gross, I wouldn't even wish that on my enemies! ...Okay, maybe some."
Next is pizza darts, where Donnie gets a bullseye and Leo barely hits the middle. Donnie's given the win.
"Donnie won three in a row. He was next level," Raph recalls as Mikey claps his giddy brother.
Dizzy race is when they spin around in a chair to see who can be spun around and go across a small race. "But Leo..." Mikey chuckles as Leo presses the red button. "He wasn't going down without a fight."
"I've honestly never seen either of them so determined," Amy couldn't help but comment.
Mallow Mouth, neither Donnie or Leo win, but Raph does. He has more marshmallows than all of them.
"I can fit a whole fist in my mouth," Raph says eagerly. Mallow Mouth is his event, just like Leo's is Pipe Goop Chicken. "Wanna see?" He opens up his mouth.
"I mean, nothing ever phases Leo. But that day, Donnie was getting to him."
"So we agreed, no questions about the incident, right?" Leo asks as he's sitting in Splinter's armchair.
"Of course!" April sucks her teeth. "Please...Leo, tell me about the incident."
Leo gives an annoyed look before standing up and walking off. April giggles into the camera.
The 'incident' happened during Fridge Balance, proudly sponsored by Bro's Pizza. It's the second-to-last event, with Mikey, Raph, and Amy already down.
"Going into the penultimate event, Fridge Balance, I knew I had it," Donnie explains to April. "It was my day, and when it's your day, you gotta ride it. As the great Bard once said, to thy known self, beat Leo!"
"And that's when Leo fell...or did he?" Mikey asks suspiciously.
"So you think he did it on purpose," April zooms in on Mikey, who glances around to make sure Leo's not listening. He then nods in confirmation.
"If Purple wins this event, it will be almost impossible for Blue to catch up," Splinter is in a sports caster outfit, his hair all slicked up. Leo's things on his nose start tilting. "Oh no, Blue is starting to wobble."
Leo sweats nervously as he tries to balance everything, but he eventually trips and bumps into Donnie. Both of them are on top of each other, Splinter examining them.
"Purple hit the ground first. Blue wins!"
"Yeah!" Leo cheers, Donnie gritting his teeth at him...why? Because a pineapple is stuck on his ankle.
"It was Leo! He did it on purpose!"
"I'm only talking to you to set the record straight. I didn't do it on purpose. I mean, how could I? I had half a fridge on my chin! This is just like the Salisbury Witch Trials!" Leo defends himself on camera, pushing it away.
"That was over 400 years ago!" Amy calls out to him off screen.
"At least I'm innocent!" He calls back, balling up his fists.
"Are you really? You're just as a competitive bastard like last year!"
He bites his lip in frustration, storming over to her. He pulls her into his room, closing the curtain in front of April. Off-camera, the two are making out.
"The Salisbury Witch Trials," Donnie glances away.
"Donnie," Leo nervously puts a hand on his shoulder as Donnie is screaming in pain. "Donnie, are you okay?"
"There's a pineapple on his leg!" Amy gestures to the injury, sticking out her tongue in disgust. "Oh my gosh, it looks like a giant zit!"
"You did this!" Donnie accuses his brother, "You'll do anything to win! My ankle! My moment!"
"I heard it pop..." Donnie looks up towards the ceiling, "I thought it was all over...everything I worked for. Everything I dreamed ab-I-I'm sorry. Can I have a moment?" Donnie covers his eyes with his hands, sobbing.
"I don't think Leo did it," Amy says to April, her hair all messy from her private session with the turtle. Needless to say, her state raises suspicion in her.
"Hiding something?" Leo chuckles nervously when she asks him. "We're not hiding something! I don't even know who Amy is!"
"I'm not in a secret relationship with Leo," Amy laughs, crossing her arms. "I-I don't even notice him at any point."
"Oh really? Then you won't mind telling us what you two were doing in his room."
Her eyes widen and she scoffs. "Going over my rec-" She suddenly throws a smokebomb into the camera.
"HEY!" April shouts as the girl runs off.
Donnie sighs, laying down in the garage with a broken leg, a cast over it. "At that point...it looked like it was over for Donnie...HA! Did you see his ankle?" Raph starts laughing.
"It was huge!" Mikey places his hands on his cheeks. "I thought we should amputate."
"I managed to talk them out of amputation, since none of us are qualified. And Donnie may tell you he is, but don't believe him on that," Amy points a finger towards the camera.
"So, are you gonna tell me about Leo now?"
The brunette gives a blank look before showing her middle finger to April, walking off.
"I'm censoring that!" April calls out.
The final event is shell bowling, but Amy doesn't have a shell, so she has to wear one of Donnie's.
"It was over! Leo had it again!"
Leo blows kisses before he jumps off. "Jump!" His limbs disappear into his shell and he rolls onto the ramp.
"New year, same result," Raph deadpans as Leo gets a ten.
"A second year of bragging and me tuning him out."
"Another perfect ten for blue," Splinter says while sitting on a floatie. Amy had already gone and got an 8 as the brothers reluctantly clap. "And with purple unable to bowl-"
"Not so fast, my friend!" Their eyes widen as they look up at the top of the ramp, smoke appearing. Donnie reveals himself, wearing an IV and a cast. "I'm here, brother. Let's bowl..."
"When Donnie showed up, I was like, whaaaaaa-"
"Aaaa," Mikey continues for Raph.
"Aaaa."
"Aaat?" Mikey finally finishes.
"You know, looking back, that wasn't worth the long pause," Amy says into the camera.
Donnie drags his broken leg while walking, stepping up the edge.
"Uhh," Leo clenches his fists.
"I bet you were scared, huh?" April asks him.
"Scared? Me? I'm never scared," Leo immediately denies. "Is Lou Jitsu scared of, uh, cold soup? No, no. Scared?" Yet he glances away in slight fear.
"So, while I have you here...what are you and Amy hiding?!"
"Nothing!" Leo says sharply. "If we were hiding something, we would've told you. I will say that she definitely doesn't beat me on looks."
One of Amy's shoes is thrown at him from off-screen and he falls to the floor.
"Donnie needs a ten to win," Splinter announces, Donnie taking a deep breath. He frontflips off the platform.
"I knew he could do it..." Mikey starts off, Donnie's limbs going inside except for his broken leg. Due to the cast, it's difficult to get it inside. "Is something I would say if I was crazy."
"With that ankle...rolling east to west? No way," Raph crosses his arms.
"More like next to impossible," Amy scoffs at the thought. "That's like saying I'm dating Leo."
"So you admit it!"
"I didn't admit to anything!" She shouts at April, a little peeved now.
Donnie's leg finally goes into his shell, sending him off course. Somehow, he manages to get down the ramp and get a perfect ten, Mikey cheering. All of them are genuinely shocked, Leo the most.
"NO!" He shouts, falling onto his knees. Donnie gets out of the ramp, his mouth wide open as he sees all the mannequins land...but one of them lands upright.
"It's a nine!" Splinter declares, holding up a number sign.
"What?!" Everyone exclaims, turning to the scoreboard. Mikey had barely advanced during any of the events, and Raph's is impossible to catch up. Amy is barely behind the finish line.
"Wait a second, that means..."
"We tied!" Donnie grins at Leo, who frowns.
"Tied?"
"No one knew what to do! I mean, what do we do?" Raph asks in disbelief. "Did we consult the bylaws? Did we call the president?"
Amy is now dressed up in a lawyer outfit, her hair in a bun with glasses perched over her face as she flips through the law book. "Section four, article seven. In the instance of a tie, the next event will be a...oh no..." She rubs a temple, sighing towards them. Amy gestures for them to come forward to whisper it in their ears and when she does, they both scream in horror.
Splinter lets out a laugh, as he was the one who created the rulebook all those years ago, and this was the first ever tie. "I had waited my whole life for this."
"Splinter's choice?!" Leo finally reveals the condition. "Are you crazy? Who came up with that?"
"Uh, you guys did, when you invented it," Amy deadpans from off-screen.
"Shut up," He mutters at her.
"Did you just tell me to-"
"NOPE!" Leo shouts nervously, running over to her and pulling the girl into his room again.
The garage door opens as Splinter vocalizes. "Out of retirement...for one night only..." He continues the music, "It's Splinter and Amelia!" He slides over to the ring. "Time for the Slippery Whippery Woo!" He's covered in suntan lotion, taking off his robe as he's wearing sunglasses and a bathing suit...with his entire fur shaved off.
"Ahh! No, why?!" Donnie yells as the turtles are disgusted. Mikey simply drops the camera, wishing he could unsee this.
"Pretty great name, right?" Splinter smirks at the camera.
"Gross, I don't wanna be involved in this!" Amy suddenly shouts in protest as she recalls what the rat just said.
"My choice, remember? Now go get dressed."
"Master Splinter, don't you realize what that means?" She crosses her arms and Leo comes to the same realization, eyes widening in horror.
"No no no no no!" Leo shouts to the camera, holding his head.
Amy is crossing her arms with an unamused look, Splinter looking on as Donnie and Leo are arguing, which is why they hadn't started yet. She's wearing a bathing suit, covered in butter, with her hair in low pigtails.
"There is no way you're touching her!" Leo shouts to Donnie in jealously.
"I don't even want to! She's like my sister!" Donnie yells back. His younger brother growls at him. To be able to catch Amy, one of them has to hold onto her while she's in a very revealing bathing suit, and Leo does not want Donnie doing that.
"If this is what the last challenge is, then I don't wanna do it!" Anything would be better than watching his brother touching his girlfriend.
"Blue, you will participate for the tie!" Splinter smacks him in the face with his tail. "No exceptions!"
Leo grumbles as he and Donnie step up to the starting line.
"Sudden death tiebreaker. Purple versus blue! Whoever catches us wins the Lair Games!" Splinter puts more suntan lotion on him.
"That's sick!" Amy mutters in disgust, looking away.
"Now, let's go!"
The two turtles drop their disgust (though Leo mostly looked at Amy's bathing suit in awe) to glare at one another. They take off, Leo laughing as he grabs Splinter's arm and Amy's waist.
"Got you, old man!"
Donnie grabs a leg and Amy's hand. "No, it is I who have them!"
Splinter smirks and slips out of their grips, Amy falling off Leo, who hugs him tightly. Donnie does the same thing with Amy and Splinter, his younger brother glaring at him. The two slip out of their grips, Leo jumping off Donnie to go for the duo. Every time they try to catch the two, they slip due to the slippery substances. Splinter jumps around in the tires, playing kind of like a whack-a-mole game with Donnie before knocking him onto the ground.
Leo appears behind Amy, who slides around on the floor as if she's on ice skates due to the butter on her feet. He squeezes her tightly, but she slips and he crashes into the piles of trash. Splinter laughs at both of them, Donnie slipping again and giving a sound of disgust.
"Out of the way!" He warns April, who ducks out of the way, recording the turtle using the ropes to propel himself forward. "Fibonacci!"
Leo jumps towards them from the other side and they both grab their objectives, jumping into the air. Splinter spins around to try and get them off.
"We both know how this ends, brother," Leo says while being smacked in the face by Splinter's belly.
"Not...today," Donnie replies back.
"You can't beat me. I'm the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!" He shouts, grabbing Splinter and Amy.
"I started out a Never Leo, but in the end..." Leo thought he had them, but he ended up grabbing Splinter's bathing suit and one of Amy's hair ties.
"I was actually rooting for Donnie."
Leo lands on the ground. "You know what rhymes with second place?" Leo looks up to see Splinter's butt heading right towards him. "Leo's face!"
"No, no!" Leo cries out and the games end there. The loser was deemed Leo, who packs up his room and puts his face in front of the camera, not wanting to talk about how his father's butt felt.
"Thanks for the room, bro," Donnie calls out. "You know, a champion really needs his space." He laughs towards his brother, "Champ burn! Burn! Champ burn!"
"So, Leo, how does this loss feel?" April asks him.
"A better question would be..." Leo glances over his shoulder with a smirk. "Did I really lose?" He winks and moves away the curtain to reveal Splinter snoring. He smiles and shushes April, pointing to a vent that's underneath Splinter's room...and right into the ceiling of Leo's previous room. Donnie holds his head, wondering how Leo could stand it. The blue-slider smiles for the swap.
"Guys," Amy takes a deep breath. She and Leo are standing next to each other in front of Splinter, April, Donnie, and Raph. Mikey sits still, actually being silent for once. He nods for them to continue with a big smile. Amy takes a hold of Leo's hand. "Leo and I...are dating."
Donnie drops his phone in shock as Raph and April glance at each other. The two cringe at their silence, wondering if it meant a good thing or a bad thing. Then the four start laughing, Amy and Leo glancing to each other.
"G-Good one, guys," Raph wipes away a tear. "Leo, you really got us."
"You guys," Leo tries to say something.
"What's next, you'll tell us that Amy has ice powers?" Donnie asks, holding his stomach. "Oh, that's hilarious!"
"Guys," Amy tries again.
"Or maybe I'll become a news reporter!" April laughs with them, Leo dragging a hand down his face.
"We're not joking!" Leo shouts with such force, it makes them shut up. "We're actually boyfriend and girlfriend."
"It's true," Mikey nods to them.
"Wait wait wait," Raph stands up, looking at Mikey. "You knew about this?! Why didn't you guys tell us?!"
"This is actually happening?" Donnie holds his head. "How dast you keep this a secret!"
"Oh my god," April covers her mouth in shock. "I can't believe this! I knew I was right!"
"You two are...together?" Splinter stands up too, mouth open in shock. "You...and her?"
"What is that supposed to mean?" Leo frowns at him.
"This is why we didn't want to tell you," Amy drags a hand down her cheek. "Because you guys overreact."
"Of course we're overreacting! How long has...this been going on?"
"Umm...unofficially, ever since Leo, Mikey, and I helped Hueso with his restaurant. Officially...uhh, ever since we were imprisoned in the Hidden City?" Amy smiles sheepishly.
"You're in a relationship for that long and you kept it from us?! How could you do that?" Raph frowns at them in disapproval.
"It's not a big deal," Leo sighs, shaking his head. "We discovered we had mutual feelings for each other and decided to date. It's not like we fooled around. We're sorry we snuck around, but I don't wanna lose her. We didn't want to keep it a secret anymore, and...I want her heart, body, and soul. I couldn't have that and not have my family know. We wanted to make a life and we didn't want to treat each other as a person we have fun with when we can. We have feelings and pride and as much as we feel guilty, we couldn't handle it anymore. We love each other and we want to be there for each other."
Amy smiles at Leo, squeezing his hand at his sweet words.
"So when he said he loved you while he was sick-"
"I meant it," He interrupts Raph sheepishly.
"And I know that it's surprising because it's Leo-"
"Why do people keep saying it like that?" Leo asks in confusion.
"But...he's really sweet to me, even if it is from the kind I used to hate. I actually laugh for once, something I haven't done in a long time. I'm actually worth something to him. He's...changed me for the better," Amy smiles again, actually looking...happy. "I feel...different. In a good way."
"...Have you guys fooled around?" April asks, crossing her arms.
"No!" Amy drags a hand down her face in slight embarrassment. "Firstly, we're not gonna be parents if that's what you're thinking. Second, we're both too young to plan on something like that. We're only dating. Finally, if there are babies, it doesn't change anything. It just means my priorities have and that's okay. We'll still be family. But don't ask about my relations with anyone because that's none of your business."
"It's our brother," Raph mutters under his breath. "So we have a right to at least ask."
She narrows her eyes in annoyance at him.
"They're really happy together, guys," Mikey looks at them, pleading for his family to see it his way. "It's not that bad they're a couple. We should be happy for them. Come on, let's support it."
Raph glances at the others at Mikey's explanation, shocked that he even said it. Donnie nods slowly, April staring at Amy. She's holding Leo's hand as they wait patiently. She nods too, and Splinter follows after a second.
The oldest turtle sighs in defeat. He couldn't stop them from being together; they do look really happy. If he broke them up, what would he gain from it? His best friend and his brother...
His best friend and his brother!
He wasn't disgusted by it, he was the opposite. It just hurt a bit that they felt like they couldn't tell them, but yet Mikey knew before they did.
"I just can't believe you didn't trust us enough to tell your own family," Raph crosses his arms at Leo.
"Hey, it's not that we didn't trust you. We just didn't know if you guys would react badly," Amy defends him.
"Well...you have our blessing," Raph grunts slowly. The two smile, hugging each other. "But no more secrets!"
"Deal," They say in unison.
"And...you each have to endure a punishment from each of us. Unfortunately, since Mikey already knew!" Donnie glances at the youngest turtle, who sneaks away so that no attention is on him. "You only get four punishments. One from April, Splinter, Raph, and me!"
"Ugggh," The two groan, hanging their heads. It could be anything from embarrassing to humiliating, something they didn't want to deal with right now.
"Does it have to be today?" Leo complains with a whine.
"Either that or we'll take our blessings back."
"Okay..." Amy sighs in defeat.
"Relax, we'll go easy on you...maybe," April glances away at the last word, making them nervous now.
Donnie has Leo and Amy sit in his lab. There's a weird device sitting in front of them that has four parts detached. He looks like the godfather as he's leaning against his chair, tapping his finger against the desk. The two glance at each other, feeling a little uncomfortable by the silence.
"So!"
Their hearts almost fly out of their chests by his booming voice. "You two are a couple now...the suave, boneheaded turtle, and the smart, could care less human girl...what a concept."
"Hey!" Leo exclaims at the insult.
"Can we just get this over with?" Amy crosses her arms.
Donnie folds his hands together. "Take a hold of one of the nods, both of you."
"Okay..." They do so. Donnie presses a button in the middle and they hear music, from the Jeopardy show. Upon hearing that, they knew that doom was approaching. And knowing Donnie, it would be something horrible.
He better not make them answer questions since that's what Jeopardy is actually about.
Amy bites her nails nervously, Leo sweating profusely. Donnie just smiles wickedly as he watches them sweat. How dare they hide their relationship and throw him for a loop? It wasn't obvious, he could've figured it out if they hadn't keep it hidden so well. They outsmarted him. They outsmarted everyone.
And the most unsuspecting of them knew about it first!
This is what happens when they lie.
"OW!" They let go of the nods, Amy covering her mouth in shock at what just happened. Leo stands up, wiggling his hand in pain.
"Donnie!" Amy yells in disbelief.
"What?" He asks innocently.
"You electrocuted us!" Leo points to the machine. "Not cool, bro."
"And you two lied. Seems perfectly fair to me." Donnie shrugs as if he's playing dumb.
"What-that doesn't even-" Amy grunts in defeat, the damage has already been done. "Whatever." She shakes her electrified hand.
"Hey, the next time we get shocked, just call me daddy," Leo winks, to her absolute shock.
"I'm not gonna call you anything, because I'm not getting shocked!"
"If I have to shock you anytime soon, you better call me Daddy."
"Oh my god, my boyfriend is secretly a deviant who likes inflicting pain," Amy covers her eyes, shaking her head. Just the thought of it...
"What's next, pie in our faces?" Leo mutters as he slowly drags his feet, not wanting to imagine the next punishment.
Amy and Leo cover their noses as they stare down at buckets. Amy's boots and socks are off, showing her bare feet. She felt like wanting to hurl, and by Leo's face, he wanted to leave for the bathroom too. Why?
Because they're staring at fish guts.
Actual fish guts.
From a real fish.
"Is this really necessary?" Amy murmurs in disgust, looking up at Raph as her voice sounds nasally.
"Absolutely," Raph wipes his hands, putting them on his hips. "Either that or I'll have you chug down one of Donnie's smoothies."
"Fish guts it is," Amy declares quickly, lifting her feet above the bucket. She slowly lowers them into the bucket and whimpers in disgust. "Ew, ew, ew. This is disgusting. Blech." She sticks her tongue and Leo slowly puts his feet in.
"Oh gross, it's warm," Leo wiggles in disgust. "Ewwww."
"Where'd you get these?" Amy tries to get out, but Raph holds her steady.
"Nope. Five minutes."
"FIVE MINUTES OF THIS?!"
"Oh god," Amy's panting while she's on the ground, Leo near her. "I'm not sure how much I can take. We should just give u-"
"We can do this," He interrupts, wiping the sweat off his forehead. "Just two more...Dove, if anything happens to me, I want you to document all my one-liners as my will."
Amy rolls her eyes, ignoring his request. She already knew he was joking...
Hopefully.
"April. What the heck am I wearing?"
April is grinning as she holds up what looks like an MP3 player or a phone that has wires connected to it. Leo has a Tongue of Satan in his mouth, his cheeks burning. "It's a labor pain simulator. These are electrical impulses," She points to the wires connected to Amy's tummy. "To simulate the pain of labor contractions."
"Uh, can I ask one last question?" Amy holds up a finger.
"Sure."
"WHY?! I don't want pain inflicted on me just for keeping a secret!"
"Well it's either that or the Tongue of Satan Leo's using. I hear it's really spicy if someone else's spit is on it," April smirks maliciously and Amy sweats a little. Either way, it was gonna hurt, so she didn't have much of a choice...
"Okay..." She pouts and April turns it on. "Oww," Amy holds her tummy, coughing. "Ugh, my throat feels like I can't breathe." She then hyperventilates. "Am I supposed to be cramping?!" It felt like her stomach was taking away all of her vital organs. "Ah! Ha ha ha ha," She takes deep breaths. "How high is it?!"
"I only pressed it twice," April looks away with a slight cringe.
"I gotta stand up," Amy sits up, putting her hand on her back. "AH! OW OW OW! That makes it worse, that makes it worse! Ow! OW!" She sits back down immediately. "It's hurting the shell out of me...!" She whimpers at the pain.
"Okay, your time is done," April rips the wires off Amy, Leo spitting out the spicy lollipop. Amy whines, clutching her stomach.
"I didn't agree to being Leo's girlfriend to be hurt like this. Why did we agree to do these punishments?! Nnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg..." She whines while crying, lying on the ground in a fetal position. "I didn't even know I could feel this type of pain on my belly! What is friendship...Waaaaah..."
"You'll be fine," April pats her back as Leo is drinking milk.
"I don't even want to think about what the last one from Splinter is..."
"Waaah, I hate this," Amy covers her eyes while crying. She could still feel the pain from her stomach.
"You are teenagers," Splinter paces around in front of them. Amy still looks burned out from what April did, Leo's mouth thankfully back to normal. "It is time for...the talk."
"Oh noooo," Leo covers his face, Amy sinking to the ground.
Splinter switches off the TV. "That was a good movie of Lou Jitsu's The Talk...with Mummy Zombies."
Amy and Leo give a blank look, wondering if they just watched an action movie that has nothing to do with what Splinter's trying to say.
"Now, we have the actual talk."
Amy immediately stands up. "Oh, I think I have something burning-"
"Sit," Splinter points to the ground and she sits, crossing her arms.
"Pop, come on. It's me," Leo gestures to himself. "I know everything."
"Can we not have you brag about this?" Amy glances at him.
"We'll see about that," He opens up a book...
About turtle reproduction.
"Oh my god," Amy covers her mouth in horror. She was not thinking about having children anytime soon. And the fact that Splinter is even considering reading about it...
"Dad, please don't," Leo looks away in embarrassment.
"Amelia, I am doing you a favor. What better time to learn than from someone who can actually teach you?" Splinter winks in amusement. Leo and Amy sink to the ground as he starts from the beginning...
"The female may store your sperm for several years before incubating her eggs."
Amy has smoke coming from her ears, her brain feeling dead. Leo looks like he actually wants to die.
"Any questions?"
"Yeah, can we stop?" Leo drags a hand down his face. "We've heard enough..."
"Mmm. If Amelia bakes a Bundt cake by dinner, I'll save it for another-"
They rush out of there as quickly as possible. Splinter chuckles, closing the book.
"We're never keeping anything a secret again..." Amy pants, hands on her knees.
"Agreed," Leo breathes out, both of them falling to the ground.
Never again would they keep something from their friend and family. Ever.
"I just can't believe Leo...and Amy," Raph shakes his head slowly once they meet back up in the family room, sans the couple.
"Why is that so hard to believe?" April couldn't help but wonder. "I always rooted for them with Sunita."
"Because she didn't like him!" Donnie exclaims, the girl rolling her eyes.
"She never said that. She just didn't like him in the way he was clearly interested in her."
"How could Leo ever get a girl like that?" Mikey shakes his head.
"Gentlemen," Leo gestures to the entrance of his room as he steps out. "Meet the new and improved Alina Santiago. Senorita?"
Amy steps out in a halter dress. The top is white with a tiny black zigzag pattern across the entire top. The bottom is a tutu baby blue skirt. A black belt is around her waist. Her shoes are black 2 inch knee length boots. Her wavy hair is down flows to her waist, with curls on the end. She still keeps her dyed blonde parts, along with the bang near her right ear. Her lip gloss is hot pink with black eyeshadow. Gold eyeliner is on the side of her pupils.
"Amy?!" The other turtles drop their mouths in shock.
Amy giggles as she twirls around a little. "What do you think?"
"OH, you look fabulous!" Donnie exclaims, examining her outfit.
"Why the sudden change?" Mikey asks curiously.
"Well...I thought it would be good for me," Amy shrugs with a small smile. "I feel like a different person in this..."
"Different or not, I'd love you no matter what you wear," Leo wraps an arm around her shoulder.
"I'll try to be a little nicer from now on," Amy smiles sheepishly towards April for earlier. "But I have a reputation to uphold."
"Eh, it's all good," April waves it off, hugging her slightly. "You're not Amy if you're not sassy."
"I mean...she could be nicer," Donnie looks away with a normal look on his face. Raph lightly elbows him. "Ow!"
