Okay. So as you might have gathered I decided to carry this on, but rather than expand upon the previous two chapters I've decided to make this a story [loosely] about events that happen while Leo's trying [and failing] to get to sleep.

Thank you to Cheetachan, BakaClara, The-Fourth-Queen and DatNinjaTurtle for reviewing the last chapter.

So first up, hope you guys are in the festive mood!

See chapter 1 for the disclaimer.

This is officially ridiculous Leo thought as he stared up at the ceiling. 4 hours he'd been trying to get to sleep now and had he succeeded? Had he shell.

He sighed and turned over. Maybe facing the wall would help.

Just then he heard footsteps outside. Leo gave a deep sigh, recognising them to belong to Donnie. Hopefully he was getting more sleep than himself.

Suddenly there was a quiet knock at the door. Leo paused, furrowed his brow and sat up. "Yes?" He said, somewhat hesitantly. It wasn't often his brothers came knocking on his door in the middle of the night.

Said door creaked open and Donnie's face poked round it. "I'm taking it I'm not disturbing you?"

Leo made a show off looking around the room. "No, I'm fairly certain I'm free now. It is only 3AM after all." He yawned. "What is it, Don?"

"I wondered if you wanted to come with me to get a tree."

There was a pause during which Leo looked at his twin like he'd lost his mind. After a couple of seconds he shook his head and said. "Sorry?"

Donnie rolled his eyes, shut the door and sat on the edge of his twin's bed. "It's nearly Christmas-"

"-I'm aware. What with the light, the songs and the abundance of Santa Clauses popping up everywhere." Blue trailed off upon seeing Purple's expression. "Sorry. Do carry on."

"As I was SAYING, it might not had escaped your notice that Mikey wants a tree."

Leo nodded. The youngest had been harping [pun totally intended] on about it since he saw April's at the beginning of December.

"Well, I spoke to Pops and he said I was welcome to go and get one. Provided someone goes with me so I'm not kidnapped along the way-"

"-And as your twin I get the honour?" Blue finished, with a grin. "Brilliant." He threw the covers back and gave a wide grin. "In the words of Mikey – or rather Mean Girls – c'mon Loser, let's get going."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"You just HAD to go for the biggest didn't you?" Leo said, harshly as he adjusted the massive tree on his shell.

"But of course." Don said, from behind him. "Michael would be disappointed otherwise."

Blue personally thought, considering the pain in his shoulders, that it might had been worth disappointed Orange but then immediately dismissed the thought as selfish. "…Who even carries a chainsaw on them anyway?" He said, out loud.

"It wasn't on me. It was on my bo-staff. I thought it might come in useful someday and I was right. Now would you stop complaining and move!?"

Leo let out a loud groan and carried on lugging the tree through the streets. It was too big to leap across rooftops with and stupidly Don hadn't brought the battle-shell with him. "It's your own stupid fault we're in this position to begin with. Why couldn't you had done this last week!?"

"You mean 'we'-"

"-Whatever!"

Now it was Don's turn to sigh. "At least we're nearly there. And it could be worse."

"Yes. We could be in the situation where we're carrying a seven-foot-at-least tree across the distance of at least 17 football fields while dressed in trench-coats and fedora caps while desperately hoping no one chooses 4:30 AM as the perfect time to look out their window." Leo said, completely deadpan.

Despite the fact he knew his twin couldn't see him Don shot his brother a glare. "Shut up Leo. Look, we're here."

"Great." The pair of them dumped the tree and put their hands on their hips. Leo stretched and felt his shoulders pop. "So then. How are we going to get it down the man-hole cover then, Genius? Cut it up?"

Don gave his brother his second glare in two minutes. "Shut up. Here, I have an idea. Open the manhole." Leo did so. "Now, get down there and I'll pass it down to you."

Blue went to protest, then stopped short instead looking up at the heavens. He hoped Mikey would appreciate this.

One quick leap down later and he was standing in the sewer, calling up the man-hole. "Whenever you're ready Donnie. We've only got the rest of the night. Literally."

"Right. I'm in position. One, two, three – catch!"

"Cat-!" Leo got cut off as the top end of the seven-foot tree nearly took his eye out. "DONNIE!"

"Shut up!" Said turtle snapped, while trying to force the bottom end of the tree down the man-hole. "I'm trying to concentrate!"

"You're taking my teeth out! Watch it for cryin' out loud!"

"Got it! Just angle it a bit…"

Leo gave his deepest sigh yet while edging the tree a bit. How were people sleeping through this?

"Got it!"

Blue screamed and dodged as the tree suddenly fell down, nearly crushing him in the process.

"Sorry 'bout that." Purple said, as he leapt easily frown. "I thought you had it." From the sewer floor Blue sent his brother a very impressive death glare.

"…Help me up."

Eventually after a lot more shuffling, arguing and general incompetence they managed to get the tree into the lair.

"Okay." Leo said, leaning against the chair. "Where are we going to stick it now – you know what don't answer that."

Don grinned and said. "Thankfully I'm one step ahead. I 'acquired' a tree-base. Help me put it in."

"The things I do for you. I tell you what I hope Mikey bloody well appreciates this. Why couldn't you get Raph to help you? It's not like he'd say no."

"He was asleep." Purple said simply.

Leo took a moment to process this then, while Don's back was turned, shook his fist at the ceiling. Thank you insomnia. Thank you so bloody much.

Thirty minutes later the tree was secured and Purple and Blue were admiring their handiwork. "All it needs is some light and stuff." Blue said.

"We'll unleash Raph and Mikey on it in the morning. Now-" Purple yawned. "I think we might be able to salvage an hour or two of sleep. Night." And with that he turned and walked off.

Leo blinked before following his twin.

Maybe now he would be able to sleep.

Yeah and maybe pigs would fly.
