I'm sitting outside in the woods with the turtles sitting at a picnic bench, it's sunny yet I'm still wearing a large hoodie, we all look quite relaxed and happy.
''Hey readers!'' I grin, ''It's really warm and sunny today''
The others nod in agreement.
''It was warmer yesterday'' Donnie frowned as he looked up at the sky. ''And I can see some dark clouds heading this way''
''Better get this done before it rains then huh?'' Mikey shudders as he looks at the threatening clouds.
''Ok let's start'' I smile, ''bookworm563 has a few things. Guys, will you go looking for Casey's family?''
''I think they're back now aren't they?'' Leo frowned. ''I mean, we've cured all the humans and sent them all back to New York. I thought Casey's family was amongst them''
''I don't know'' Raph shrugged. ''He doesn't talk about them much, he hasn't even mentioned them recently''
''Hmm… wonder what's going on there'' I look at each of the confused faces.
''Next?'' Mikey asks hopefully as the dark clouds get closer.
''Donnie, where do you find all that stuff in the sewers? Nobody throws out good furniture and technology especially in the sewers!'' I look at said turtle expectantly.
''I don't get my stuff from the sewers'' He laughs, ''I get it from the junkyard! People will throw away anything that works if they've gotten a better version of it! The broken stuff is easily fixed''
''That makes more sense'' I smile. ''You gotta get me a bookcase! Mine is full and has no more room for all the DVDs and books I bought recently!''
I frown and shake my head.
''I had no idea how hard it was to get a decent bookcase around here!''
''That hard huh?'' Leo smiles sympathetically.
''Yeah'' I sigh, ''Anyway, Leo! Throughout the time you were in a coma did you hear things? Did your mind see things or sense your brothers around?''
Leo shifts uncomfortably and avoids looking at his brothers. They look pretty interested in finding out too!
''Well uh… I could hear some things… they were kinda muffled though'' he frowns as he tries to remember. ''I could sense… worry? Fear? I'm not sure… It all kinda felt like a dream.''
''That was a lot less interesting than I thought it was gonna be'' I mutter before brightening slightly. ''Did you have any thoughts while you were under? Any weird dreams?''
Now Leo has paled slightly and looks even more uncomfortable, he starts fidgeting with his mask tails.
''I relived what happened with Shredder most of the time… But…'' he winces slightly. ''Occasionally the ending would change… sometimes my brothers would come to my rescue and be hurt or killed. Sometimes… Sometimes I died and watched my funeral… Occasionally Splinter would try and save me only for the Shredder to win''
We look at him sadly as the sky goes black and rain drops begin to fall.
Before anyone can say anything the three younger brothers leap over the table to hug Leo who's sitting next to me, I place a hand on his shoulder.
''It's over now though'' he smile gently. ''And I'm very thankful for that''
We all grin at him.
Suddenly the rain gets harder and I pull my hood up.
''Let's find some shelter?'' Mikey suggests.
Raph and Leo take the lead, while Mikey, Donnie and I quickly follow and try to shelter my laptop.
We eventually find ourselves cuddled up together under a tree.
''My dad's gonna be so confused that I'm still out here'' I mutter as I pull my laptop out.
''It's cold now'' Raph growls. ''Why did ya have ta live in Scotland?''
I shrug in response.
''Unicorn-Vomit…'' I grin and show the three eldest turtles the dare as I pull rope out of my hoodie pocket.
''What's that for?'' Mikey asks excitedly, ''ARE WE GONNA PLAY JUMP ROPE?''
''Nope'' Raph grins evilly as he takes the rope and holds it up. He jumps on top of Mikey and quickly ties him.
''HEY!'' Mikey yelps. ''WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOIN'?''
We all jump on top of him and tickle him. He screeches and screams with laughter while begging us to stop.
He lets out a particularly loud scream and the birds in the tree above us fly away in fright.
We are all sprayed with bird poo as they go.
''AH!'' I yelp as I back away from the others. ''Ew! Yuck!''
They guys glare at Mikey who is smiling sheepishly. I untie him and sit back away from him, he nods his thanks to me.
''Let's move on so we can shower sooner'' Raph mutters. Donnie stands up and steps out into the heavy rain.
''Don! You're gonna get a cold!'' Leo scolds.
''I'd rather have a cold than be covered in bird poo'' he replies cooly as the last of the bird poop is wiped off.
''Don't be stupid!'' Raph snarls as he drags Donnie back under the tree. ''Yer gonna get sick now!''
''Um…'' I frown slightly before deciding to carry on. ''Bluestar-TMNT-Warriors asks what would Raph do if he fell in love?''
''What do ya mean?'' Raph asks with a raised eyeridge. ''I'd be doin' what everyone does! Hittin on her until she likes me then doin the nasty until we're too weak to even move''
''Nice'' I wrinkle my nose. ''Real romantic Raph''
His brothers look pretty disgusted too.
''Mikey you need to act like Spongebob… Just laugh like him until it gets too annoying to handle'' I shrug.
Mikey nods and starts doing a pretty impressive Spongebob laugh.
I watch as Leo and Raph fuss over Donnie who has started sniffing, I'm pretty sure he has a cold now.
6 minutes later Raphael has started twitching slightly. Leo is still fussing over Donnie and I've got a pounding headache.
Mikey looks like he's in pain.
A whole minute later and everything's pretty much the same until Raph gets up and punches Mikey right in the face.
Mikey falls to the floor and holds his cheek.
The laughter has finally stopped.
''Thanks'' I smile at Raph who smirks back.
''THAT WAS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR!'' Leo yells at Raph while Donnie takes a look at Mikey's painful looking cheek.
''Look I stopped him from being annoying! What's the problem?'' Raph growls.
''THE PROBLEM IS YOU JUST PUNCHED YOUR LITTLE BROTHER!'' Leo stomps straight up to Raph. ''YOU NEVER INJURE A BROTHER LIKE THAT RAPH! YOU KNOW THAT!''
''It's fine Leo'' Mikey mutters from next to Donnie. ''Honestly I'm ok''
''YOU COULD'VE BROKEN HIS JAW OR KNOCKED HIS TEETH OUT!'' Leo continues, I can see Raph beginning to clench his fists.
''SHUT UP!'' I yell. Everyone looks at me, I frown at Leo. ''You're not making the situation any better by yelling at him. Just calm down''
Leo glares at Raph but sits down. Raph does the same.
''Ok'' I nod, ''Everyone better now?''
They all nod.
''Last dares are from Platyfan 101'' I say calmly. ''Raph, kiss everyone on the cheek''
He nods. He kisses Donnie first then goes to Leo.
He kisses him and says something which makes Leo nod and smile slightly.
He kisses Mikey on the cheek he punched and apologises for punching him.
''Ok'' I grin. ''Now I get to invite anyone of my choice and to be honest… I miss Shreddy-poo so I'm inviting him.''
The turtles gasp as I call for Shredder, he falls out of the tree and looks over us.
''I have an important question Shredder'' I announce, he says nothing. ''Was that mind control chemical stuff in the cheesy thingies Mikey was eating?''
He says nothing but looks at me blankly.
''I have no idea what you are talking about child'' He says in a gravelly voice. ''Why am I here?''
''Cause I missed you Shreddy-poo!'' I smile. ''How's Karai?''
He snarls at me and tries to stab me but I move out the way and he hits the tree, he tries to get his blade out but it's stuck.
''I WILL KILL YOU!'' He growls as he tries to free himself from the tree trunk.
I giggle as he curses the tree.
''This is the enemy we've been scared of?'' Mikey mutters to Raph. ''Lame!''
''Yer telling me'' Raph shakes his head. ''This guy's a joke.''
''I AM A DEADLY ASSASSIN!'' Shredder screams at the tree. ''AND I WILL NOT BE STOPPED BY ONE OF NATURES MOST UNUSEFULL CREATIONS!''
''Actually trees are very useful'' Donnie points out, Shredder looks at him.
''How so?'' He asks curiously.
''they produce oxygen which is what we need to breathe and live'' Donnie nods. ''They also provide shelter and homes for animals, they can be used for paper, furniture and are a great fuel source''
''I see'' Shredder looks up at the mighty oak tree he is stuck to. ''Is that all?''
''No, they provide food too'' Donnie waves.
''That's impressive'' Shredder nods in interest. ''You know a lot don't you?''
''uh…'' Donnie backs away slightly.
''Which one are you again?'' Shredder asks. ''Donatello? Is it?''
Donnie stays quiet. His brothers step forward and I roll my eyes.
''There's no point trying to protect him'' I sigh, ''He's under no threat! Your enemy is stuck to a tree!''
''Sh-Should we just go then?'' Mikey asks as the rain stops.
''yeah ok' I smile. ''Ok readers! Remember to leave a review with whatever you want us to do!''
''Hey that rhymed!'' Mikey clapped his hands happily.
''BYE!''
''NO! WAIT!'' Shredder shouts after us as we leave. ''DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!''
