Chapter Two

"Do we really have to do this?" Leo asked.

"Yes. It will be funny." Master Splinter laughed.

"Notice he tries to make fun of us and not Raph or Mikey." Donnie whispered to Leo.

"I know." Leo agreed.

"Ok, I am turning on the song. Ready or not." Master Splinter said.

Donnie started singing.

Look for the, Bear Necessities

The simple bear Necessitites,

Forget about your worries and your strife.

I mean the, Bear Necessities

Oh, Mother Nature's recipies that bring the Bear Necessities to life.

Look for the, Bear Necessities

The simple bear Necessitites,

Forget about your worries and your strife.

I mean the, Bear Necessities

Oh, Mother Nature's recipies that bring the Bear Necessities to life.

Donnie continued to jump up and down.

Leo shook his head. "What's wrong with you?"

Where-ever I wander, where-ever I rome,

I couldn't be fonder, of my big home.

The bees are buzzin in the trees

To make some honey just for me.

When you look under the rocks and plants,

Take a glance at the fancy ants

And maybe try a few!

The Bear Necessities of life will come to you!

"Why won't you sing?" Donnie smiled.

"Your pathetic..." Leo started laughing at how stupid Donnie looked running all over the stage.

Look for the Bear Necessities,

The simple Bear Necessities,

Forget about your worries and your strife!

I mean the Bear Necessities,

It's why a bear can rest-at-ease

With just the Bear Necessities of life!

Now when you pick a raw paw, or prickly pear.

And you pick a raw paw, next time beware.

Don't pick the prickly pear by paw

When you try to pick, try to use the claw.

But you don't need to use the claw

When you pick-a-pear from the big paw paw.

Have I given you a clue?

"I feel like a celebrity up here!" Donnie started doing ballet.

"I don't know you..." Leo gave him a puzzled look.

The Bear Necessities of life will come to you

They'll come to you.

The Bear Necessities of life will come to you

"YEAH!" Donnie added to the ending of the song.

"You get way too into this stuff..." Leo stared at him.

"That was not as funny as I wanted it to be..." Master Splinter shook his head diappointed.

Mikey and Raph were sitting down laughing along with April.

Casey was laughing as well. "You got to see Donnie do ballet! You don't think that's funny?"

"Oh!" Donnie quealed. "I have fans!"

"Ok, ok. Go sit down." Leo pushed him off of the stage.

"Well, Shredder? Karai? Since you too are the only ones left, I guess you two will be singing the next duets. Not to mention that it will be the last duet, because we have run out of people." Master Splinter started switching the songs.

"We have to sing a duet?" Shredder asked.

"Yes, you have to sing a duet!" Mikey grabbed Shredder and started pushing him up on the stage.

"First of all, because it will be nice to see father and daughter singing together." Leo grabbed Karai and started pushing her up on stage.

"Second of all, because we had to do it and it's not fair you don't get to do it." Donnie said.

"And third of all," Raph smiled. "We just want to laugh at you."

"Are you ready?" Master Splinter asked.

"But--" Shredder stammered.

"One...Two..." Master Splinter started counting down. Just as a warning to them to get ready.

"We don't--" Karai tried to speak up but Master Splinter started counting louder. Obviously, he didn't want to hear it. He only wanted to hear Kari and Shredder sing together.

"Three...Go!" Master Splinter hit the "play" button on the screen.

Staring out at the rain, with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer, somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know

"What is this?" Shredder asked.

Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live girl, my world has twice as many stars in the sky

"Because You Live." Master Splinter answered.

"Just sing it. We had to sing our songs." Raph said.

It's all right I survived I'm alive again
Cuz of you made it through every storm
What is life what's the use if you're killing time

I'm so glad I found an angel, somewhere
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly looking in your eyes

"Some of us sang, some of us did a little more then sing," Raph glanced at Donnie. "Some of us--"

"Fought?" April smiled while she finished the sentence for Raph.

Because you live, and breathe

Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live girl (you live) my world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live

Because you live, there's a reason why, I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always

"You guys do realize that the song is almost over and we did't even sing, right?" Karai asked.

"No, no, no! You can sing! You can sing! Forget I said anything! Just sing!" Raph wanted to hear Shredder screw up and laugh at him, even though he already heard him sing Walking On Sunshine, that still wasn't good enough for him.

Because you live, and breathe

can help)
Because you live girl, my world(my world) has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live girl,(cuz you live) my world has everything I need to survive,

Because you live, I live
I live

"Are they done?" Mikey asked.

"Yes." Master Splinter turned off the sceen.

"That was it? But they didn't even sing! That's a foul! They should have to go back up there and sing!" Raph complained.

"Fighting is also a foul. Do you want to go back up there and sing with Michalangelo the proper way?" Master Splinter teased.

A storm hit in Raph's mind. "I'll be up in my room..."

"Time for cookies!" Mikey sprang out of his seat and ran into the kitchen. Donnie, April, Casey, and Master Splinter followed him.

"Karai?" Shredder walked up to her.

"Yes?" Karai turned around to face hr father.

"We'll go in a minute, ok? I want to get some cookies for the ride home." Shredder left for the kitchen.

Karai shook her head. "Alright." she turned around and saw Leo standing up on the stage just looking around. She walked over to the screen and turned it on.

Leo heard the TV start up. "What are you doing?"

Karai picked a random song and started singing it.

Karai:

Live in my house
I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back
With one thousand kisses
Be my lover - I'll cover you

Leo:

Open your door
I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage
To lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there - I'll cover you

Karai and Leo:

I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are, my love,
On life - be my life

Just slip me on
I'll be your tenant
Wherever - whatever - I'll be your coat

Karai:

You'll be my king
And I'll be your castle

Leo:

No you'll be my queen
And I'll be your moat

Karai and Leo:

I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are, my love,
On life - all my life

I've longed to discover
Something as true as this is

So with a thousand
sweet kisses If you're cold
I'll cover you And you're lonely
With a thousand
sweet kisses
I'll cover you You've got one nickel only
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
When you're worn
out and tired With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
When your heart has
expired

Oh lover I'll cover you
Oh lover I'll cover you

"Awww...How sweet!" Mikey exclaimed as Leo and Karai turned around to see everyone smiling--and some laughing--and clapping for Leo and Karai.

The End!

Ann: Kinda corny ending...I know. Oh well. I hope you liked it, though! R&R please!
