A/N- Hey everybody! I haven't been on for quite a while because I just graduated high school (finally) and I'm barely getting time for myself. I have a couple of weeks left before I start my job and then I have college right after so updating chapters might be a little slow. Anyway I've had some complaints about this whole story and I wanted to clear it up for some people. First of all, when I said that this story is based on the 2007 movie, I meant as in character description, not the actual relationship of the characters. In the 2012 cartoon I am well aware that they changed the background story of Master Splinter and I know that April is a teenager while in the 2007 movie she is not. So, let me clarify again, I guess what I mean when I say that this story is based on the 2007 movie, I'm meaning that you will picture the characters in that form, instead of cartoon form. That sounds much better and I hope I made that clear to people Let's continue on with the story shall we?
Disclaimer: I do not own TMNT. I do however own this story and my original character. I'm just borrowing the characters to make a plot of my own :)
Patrolling
The first/last day of school started tomorrow for the eighteen year old with the black raven haired girl. She has been looking forward to this since she started Kindergarten. She couldn't wait for travel and see the world and experience new things. She was the type of girl that liked to try new things even when they seemed out of the ordinary.
She just finished catching a movie with her two best friends who happened to be twins, Hailey and Bailey. She's known them since middle school and she couldn't ask for better friends. A lot of people couldn't tell the twins apart since they both had blonde hair and green eyes, but they both were as different as night and day. Hailey is two minutes older than her sister making her automatically the oldest. She is the girly girl and the one that is afraid to take chances. She keeps to herself unlike her sister Bailey. Bailey on the other hand is the rebel. She likes to take chances and she is the tomboy. Two very different personalities but yet, they still try to do everything together.
The ravened haired girl walked with her two best friends as they excitedly chatted about the movie they just saw. It was a typical superhero movie. The guy tries to keep his true identity from everybody and the girl that he is madly in love with. She finds out, his arch nemesis kidnaps her, forcing the superhero to save her. Dramatic fight scene and the superhero wins. He saves the love of his life and they live happily ever after, typical superhero movie.
The ravened hair girl didn't participate in the chat about the movie, instead, she had other things on her mind. I have to make sure I have everything for school tomorrow since it is the last/first day for me. I'm pretty sure I have my school clothes picked out as well. I also need to make sure my To Do List is up to date. Don't want to forget anything to do this week.
"Leolani?" Bailey called out to her.
Leolani kept on going on in her head. I need to Skype my parents. I haven't talked to them since yesterday so they'll probably worried sick. I hope they're not.
"Leolani?" Bailey called out harsher to her best friend and gently tugged on her arm. All three of the girls stopped in the middle of the busy sidewalk.
Leolani blinked a couple of times and shook her head. "Sorry Bailey. I didn't hear you calling me. I was just thinking about stuff." Leolani said lamely.
"Thinking? School hasn't even started yet and you're already 'thinking'?" Bailey asked sarcastically.
"I just have a lot on my mind." Leolani murmured.
"You always have something on your mind." Hailey piped up. "You need to stop and relax for a moment. All this stress isn't good for an eighteen year old girl. You should find something to relive your stress. What about your piano lessons? They should be helping you." Hailey reinstated. Hailey is always the one to give good advice to anybody that needed it. It was really helpful too. She is the calmer one out of herself and Bailey, while Bailey is the more aggressive one.
"Piano lessons?" Bailey spat. "Who needs piano lessons? That's girl stuff. You should be doing something more physical like kick boxing or karate." Bailey exclaimed as she was punching her fists in front of her.
Hailey and Leolani rolled their eyes. Hailey is sometimes embarrassed by her sister's behavior.
Leolani shook her head. "Let's just keep on walking."
The three girls kept on walking towards Hailey and Bailey's house. They lived in a well-kept up neighborhood. They had one younger brother named Riley. He looked almost like the twins, except the girl part of course. Their parents had well-paid jobs. Their dad was a high paid lawyer while their mom was a doctor. They weren't rich, but they weren't poor either.
"I'm just saying you should do something that you want to do. Your parents will never know that you're not taking lessons." Bailey continued on with the subject.
"Trust me, if I could I would do something more 'physical'. My parents practically force me to do almost everything that I don't want to do." Leolani pouted.
"Correct me if I'm wrong" Hailey interrupted "but aren't your parents gone?"
Leolani couldn't forget that her parents wouldn't be home for almost a whole year. Every since she was born her and her parents would have to move across the country because of their job. Till this day she couldn't really understand what her parents did. She knew it had something to do with the government and special weapons inventory. In all honesty, she really didn't care.
This year though Leolani swore that she wasn't going to move again. Somehow and someway she convinced her parents that since she is eighteen years old she should be able to handle herself. She also informed them that it was her senior year and it would be stupid for them to pull her out of school and make her start her last year in a different country. They totally bought the idea so now Leolani lives alone. She was scared at first, but she got the hang of it. She liked being alone since she was busy half the time.
Now her parents are in Europe and they won't be back till next year. Leolani saw this as the first step to adulthood and besides, she's a smart girl, nothing could go wrong right?
"I just think you need to disobey your parents at least once in your life. They can't control you forever you know?" Bailey rambled on.
Leolani looked at Hailey who simply just nodded her head at what her sister was saying. Leolani sighed deeply. "Let's just hurry up and get home before we all freeze to death."
~*TMNT*~
Somewhere on a rooftop in New York City, a blue-masked turtle is giving a lecture to his little brother.
"Why would you assume something like that Mikey? I do not need a girlfriend or any kind of friend that's a girl. Also I would like to point out that I do not need to get laid. You and Raphael are seriously pushing my buttons these days."
Leonardo and Michelangelo were out patrolling the streets of New York, well they're supposed to, but right now Leonardo is giving his baby brother a lecture about minding his own business.
Michelangelo is sitting on one of the air conditioners on an apartment building while his older brother Leonardo was pacing in front of him, lecturing him.
"I don't even know where to begin with you Mikey. Your mind is always wandering somewhere and sometimes I think what the heck you think half the time…"
Blah Blah Blah! That's all I hear from Leo when he talks to me. I wonder if this is how Raph feels as well. It's kind of cold tonight. Raphael better not have touched the last slice of pizza. I hid it really good this time. He will never be able to find it.
Meanwhile…. Raphael opens the refrigerator door. He moves everything to get to the back of the fridge and he finds the pizza. "Really Mikey? You have to do better than that. I'll just blame Donnie." He takes a bite.
Wow, Leo really looks like he is ticked off. I mean, what did I do? I was just concerned about him. Isn't that what brothers do? We care for each other? Sheesh! It's not like I blew up something. I better pretend I'm listening. Shaking my head is good, now look down and act like you're sad. Good, that's good.
I wonder if Leo would be ticked off this much if he had a girlfriend. Someone that completed him and did stuff that he liked to do. Stop thinking like that Mikey! This is how we got put in this position the first place, that and Raphael's 'laid comment.' I better say something before Leo has a heart attack.
"Sometimes I just don't know where your head is Mikey. I'm trying to be a good leader and everything, but you have to take stuff seriously like I do. That's how you get far in life. Maybe when you mature a little bit more you'll understand why I care so much for all of you and Master Splinter."
Mikey stood up from where he was sitting and walked over to his brother. "Bro relax and sit for a while." He gestured to the air conditioner "Your mouth is going to fall off from all that talking you're doing."
Leo and Mikey walked over to the air conditioner and sat down. Mikey was relieved that he got Leo to shut up. He didn't know how much more he could take.
"We're supposed to be patrolling, not talking on rooftops." Leonardo reminded Mikey.
"It's okay, we can just sit here for a minute and enjoy the fresh cold breeze." Mikey paused and smiled, "and besides, Raph and I do this when we're supposed to be patrolling." Mikey whispered to himself.
"What was that?" Leo asked .
Michelangelo gave out a worried laugh, "Umm nothing, just in taking the view."
Leo smiled and shook his head. "It is really nice out here. I guess I never really stopped and noticed how New York looks at night. I'm always too busy doing things."
Michelangelo put his hand on his brother's shoulder "This is why you need a break Leo. I'm worried about you." He paused for a minute. "We're ALL worried about you. What happened to the Leo that we used to know? I mean, we all know how you are, but nowadays it seems like you're getting worse." It was Michelangelo's turn to give his big brother a lecture. Mikey was never into speaking for such a long time, but tonight was different. "You need to make time for yourself. I really do think that if you had someone to talk to besides us then maybe you'll be much happier."
Leonardo shook his head understanding what his little brother was saying, which gave Mikey the okay to carry on and push the conversation. "Maybe if you did have a girlfriend you wouldn't be so uptight. Girls do make everything better. I mean look at Donnie. He's changed ever since he met April. He seems more alive and not robotic like he used to be. I think a girlfriend will do you some good."
Leonardo got up from his seat and walked over to the edge of the apartment building, obviously hearing enough. He looked around the neighborhood and it seemed like nobody was out tonight. Finally Leo spoke, "You don't understand Mikey and I don't think you ever will."
Michelangelo followed him. "Well explain it to me then" he pleaded.
Leo sighed "Look, humans will never understand us, especially women." He cleared his throat. "April is different, we saved her and she is an understanding human being. There aren't a lot of people in this world like her. It's better to just leave the subject at rest okay?"
It was Mikey's turn to sigh deeply. He will never understand his older brother, but hopefully one day he will. "Fine Leo, but don't get mad when all of us find somebody special and you're the one that's left with nobody."
Leonardo laughed, he knew his little brother was trying to lighten the mood and it actually worked. "Trust me Mikey, I'll be happy for all of you. I don't know about your wife though, she might have a lot on her hands."
Michelangelo laughed, "I think you have me confused with Raph. Boy, I bet him and his wife will be screaming at each other every day, breaking and smashing things. That would actually be quite entertaining."
Leo and Mikey started laughing at the comment. In that moment Leonardo felt happy and carefree, but he knew that the feeling couldn't last forever when he heard feminine voices walking down the sidewalk.
Both of the brothers stopped laughing and looked closer towards the street. They saw two blonde headed girls and one black headed one.
"What are they doing around this time of night? It's getting really late." Mikey stated.
"I don't know but we better make sure they get home safely."
Leo and Mikey jumped from rooftop to rooftop, following the teenage girls. Shortly after a couple of apartments away, they stopped and went their separate ways. The blondes went one way while the black haired girl went the other way.
"Okay, I'll follow the blonded haired girls home while you make sure the other one gets home okay?" Leonardo ordered in his leader voice.
He noticed he saw Michelangelo pouting. "What's wrong with you?" Leo crossed his arms.
"I wanted to watch over the blondes." Mikey said sadly.
Leo rolled his eyes and smacked his brother on the head. "This is no time to pick and choose. Why do you want them anyway?"
Mikey gave Leo a goofy grin "Because blondes are hot duh! And besides, you don't look like a blonde guy, you're more of a black brown haired girls."
Leo palmed his forehead. "Can you take anything seriously for once?" Leonardo half shouted at his little brother.
"Ummm" Mikey put his finger on his chin.
"Nevremind okay? Hurry up and go follow the blondes and you better make sure you come straight back. No funny business. I mean it Michelangelo." Leonardo said sharply, already going off the other direction.
"Yes sir!" Mikey saluted his brother. "You can count on me."
I hope I can Mikey, I really hope I can.
