Donatello's P.O.V

"Guys, guess what!" Leo greeted as soon as he practically slammed next to Raph, making him choke up on his apple. I hovered a little to make sure he wasn't actually choking before sitting in front of the two.

"He said yes?" I answered with a smile. Raph looked at Leo expectantly.

"Yep!" Leo smiled back. Raph rolled his eyes.

"Like he was gonna say no. He said the otha day that we were as good as his." Raph smirked while looking at me. Hearing him repeat that made my heart give a little flutter of something strange. Instead I just pushed my black glasses up and prayed they didn't notice my eyes a bit red.

"True. You guys are over a lot now." Leo replied thoughtfully, looking up. Though he smiled and then just began eating. I didn't really feel like eating much.

"Hey, Don, ya gonna eat tha cupcake?" Raph questioned and hardly waited for my answer before grabbing it. Leo shot him a look but he smirked in his face. I smiled a little and tried to seem interested.

"Donnie!" I blushed instantly and jolted. The guys looked at me in surprise before April ran over. She stopped short though, when she seen the guys. I smiled at her, rubbing my head.

"U-Uh, h-hey April!"

"Hey, who are these guys you're sitting with?" She asked curiously, smiling politely at them. Raph just looked at her and Leo smiled back. "Wait, is that Raph?"

"Tha one and only."

"Uh, and this is Leonardo, my new friend." I introduced, blushing a little at the implication even now. Leo's smile grew.

"Ah, nice to meet you. So you're who he's been talking about." April looked at me and I blushed. "My name is April O'Neil!"

"Nice to meet you." Leo replied as she took a seat next to me.

"No offense," She began after looking at Raph. She turned to me. "When did you start hanging out with Raph? I thought you said he was-" I elbowed her arm and she gasped.

"I was what?" Raph glared at me and I gulped. April looked between us and laughed, holding up her hands.

"That you were a bully." April replied and I gave her a look. She just laughed again and Leo smirked at Raph.

"Ah, shut up! I'm not a bully." Raph growled while sending me glares. I smiled and shrugged innocently.

"Anyways, I heard that Casey was picking on you again and I wanted to make sure you were okay…" April trailed off, putting a hand on my arm worriedly. I saw Leo and Raph's eyes widen and I mentally cursed.

"Uh, I'm fine April. It's okay." I assured while putting on my best fake happy face. She just rose an eyebrow. "I'm serious." She sighed.

"Casey Jones was at it again?" Raph demanded while staring holes in my head. I turned to see fury in his sharp green eyes.

"What did he do?" Leo questioned me calmly. That's what I like about him. He can be calm, like me. Or at least...until something is actually wrong with us.

"He just said stupid things.." I shifted while looking at the table. April looked at me worriedly again.

"Tell us." Raph demanded while cracking his knuckles. Leo rolled his eyes and pushed Raph's shoulder playfully.

"He said as a nerd I wasn't allowed to hang out with someone as cool as April…" I admitted and April rolled her eyes.

"It doesn't bother me Donnie. You were my friend since elementary school. That's the way it will stay, okay?" April smiled warmly at me and I blushed tenfold. Raph and Leo looked at each other and smirked. I only nodded at her and she smiled more. "Okay, good. I told Casey to leave you alone! But I got to go now, Dad will be here soon to check me out for my doctor's appointment."

"Okay, tell him I said hi." I replied shyly. She nodded and stood, gave a last wave to me and the guys then rushed off.

"Well, she's nice. I like her." Leo smiled and I nodded, smiling back. "She's nice to you too, so that's good."

"Yea, I was wonderin' why tha two of ya were friends." Raph smirked and I glared at him.

"Oh shut up Raph."

"But seriously, next time I see Casey Jones I'm teachin' him a lesson." Raph frowned and Leo rolled his eyes.

"Whatever, c'mon guys. Sensei wants to see you again too." Leo smiled. Raph looked at me and I smiled, standing up in a hurry. Raph grinned as he stood.

"Last one there's a rotten egg!" He cried while pushing Leo and me to rush past us. I laughed as I chased after Leo, who dashed off the second Raph did.

We ended up catching up to Raph, who expressed his surprise that a nerd like me could run as fast as them. I rolled my eyes and reminded him of my ninjitsu status.

"We're home!" Leo yelled as he pushed the door open. I grinned sheepishly at the phrase but Raph pushed me in.

We saw Master Splinter in the 'pit' of the living room. He was standing above a tray filled with four cups of tea and some sort of snacks. From where I could analyze it looked like small chocolate cakes.

"Ah, Sensei, what's all this?" Leo questioned as we left our backpacks at the door. Master Splinter smiled warmly at us.

"I have a surprise for you. But it is not this." He responded while motioning for us to come to the couch. "How was school today?"

"Good."

"Eh, okay."

"Could be better." I responded and immediately regretted it seeing Raph's eyes anger up. Leo looked sympathetic but thankfully Sensei overlooked it.

"So you made tea and cakes?" Leo questioned and I sent him a thank you smile.

"I did, however, you can not eat until he arrives."

We all looked up, confused. Master Splinter seemed very excited, so I asked, "He?"

"Yes, a boy from your school. I met him earlier today after almost hitting him with my car and gave him a ride to school." He responded, something warm in his voice. Something we only hear when he talks about Leo, Raph or me. Which was almost embarrassing if it wasn't so oddly comforting.

"You almost hit him?!" Leo asked in surprise. Master Splinter blushed a little, surprising me and Raph.

"He was not harmed, no one was. He rushed out in front of the car because he was late." Splinter explained. We let that explanation sink in.

"So the fourth tea is for him and not you?" Leo asked and Sensei nodded. We all blinked at each other.

"He was a nice boy, a very happy one." He chuckled. "But he has no friends. He says he knows you Leonardo, you might know him. But I want you all to try and befriend the boy, like you all I believe he has some hardships unlike most teens."

"Seriously?" Raph raised an eyebrow and I elbowed him. "Ow!" I smiled and he glared at me.

"Sure, Sensei, since he's as nice as you say.." Leo said after looking at us. Master Splinter smiled wide this time.

"He is also going to be learning from me from now on, just like Donatello and Raphael."

"Really?!" We all yelled simultaneously. "He knows ninjitsu?"

"Yes, he will tell you the story himself, but he knows the art of nunchuku. Plus he was in foster care like you three, but he has a foster Mother." Master Splinter replied. We all looked at each other in surprise.

I was about to question when the doorbell rang. Then all of us looked up almost at the same time. We didn't move as Sensei moved towards the door and for some reason, my stomach began to flutter nervously though I have no idea why. Raph and Leo looked at me and they looked the same.

Master Splinter opened the door with a welcoming smile. A blonde boy walked through and soon enough we got a good look at him. I immediately recognized his blonde hair, baby blue eyes and freckles then blinked in surprise.

He took one look at us, blushed and then smiled a mile wide. "Hey dudes!"

"Wait, your-your Mikey…" Leo said in surprise. Mikey seemed very delighted that Leo knew him.

"Hey, Leo! It's so nice to see you! I'm glad you remember me! I was so sure you didn't know me!" He stepped closer but then stopped short when he saw me. "Donnie, dude! I'm so surprised you're not in the library!" I blushed when the guys looked at me.

But when Mikey saw Raph he gasped softly and then took an automatic step back. Raph blinked in surprise and we both looked at him. "Uh…."

"What's wrong, Michelangelo?" Master Splinter asked when he noticed Mikey staring at Raph in a horrified manner. I had to hold my breath to keep from snickering.

"He's not gonna beat us up is he?" Mikey whispered and Raph groaned, rolling his eyes.

"Only if ya deserve it Bonehead." Raph replied and I rolled my eyes this time while Leo laughed. Mikey's eyes were wide but he stepped forward anyways.

"You're full name is Michelangelo?" Leo asked smiling. Mikey nodded quickly. "Nice."

"Long." Raph complained and I laughed, so did Mikey.

"And historical like ours." I added with a smile. "Some coincidence."

"I didn't know you guys were Leo's friends!" Mikey grinned at me and I shrugged. Raph just nodded. "Awesome!"

"So you know ninjitsu too?" I asked, changing the subject and he smiled.

"Yep! I rock the nun-chuck powers hard, bro!" He laughed but then he blinked. "Sensei said that Leo did ninjitsu, but you two also?!" He looked excited.

"Yea!" We replied together and then looked at each other. Leo and Mikey laughed.

"Man, that's so cool!" Mikey looked up at Master Splinter, who put a hand in his blonde hair. He looked at me and I smiled. "Funny how neither of us brought that up when we talked before."

"You guys know each other?" Leo questioned while Raph looked at us confused. I nodded a little.

"Remember, after school I go to the library sometimes to go ahead and finish my homework in peace." I explained with a dull look. Then Mikey beamed and I chuckled a little. "Mikey sometimes comes by and talks to me. Sometimes annoyingly so." Mikey pouted and I grinned. "I tutor him in science and math sometimes when he comes."

"Did you know that Donnie's a genius?" Mikey asks excitedly and I blushed hard. Splinter chuckled fondly and Leo gaped at me. Raph just grinned.

"Sure did. Don's like an evil genius back at home..." Raph said but then the smile left at the mention of our 'home'. I kept my face impassive.

"I need your help in math and science too then." Leo changed the subject with a wide grin. I groaned and held my head when Raph also put his arm around me.

"Fine."

"Ahaha!" Mikey giggled and put his book-bag on the ground at his feet.

"Michelangelo," Splinter addressed. Mikey blinked up in surprise. "You say you met Donatello in the library most times. Why do you not go home to your Mother?" Mikey's eyes darkened, not in anger but sadness.

"Mom's...got Lung Cancer.." Mikey revealed and my heart missed a beat. Raph's face paled and Leo's eyes grew impossibly wide. Splinter seemed to be caught off guard. "She gets treatment but it sometimes spills over time after school so I just wait so I don't have to be home alone..."

Splinter immediately reacted before any of us could. He placed a hand on the young blonde's head and smiled sadly. "I am sorry for your Mother's condition, Michelangelo." Mikey smiled sadly.

"It's okay...she's really good about it. She says I help her." Mikey smiled a little more and I felt my eyes burn. Raph was biting his lip hard and Leo was shaking slightly.

Then Splinter changed the subject thank god and Mikey's face brightened a whole lot and we were able to calm down too.

"You can eat the snacks now. I will prepare more." He smiled warmly and walked away. Mikey beamed and jumped down to sit beside me. Sensei was right, this kid really is overly happy even after what he just told us.

"Dude, tea's okay. But pizza would be amazing right now!" He said and we all choked up, laughing. "What? You know, I want pineapple and sardine pizza!"

"That could not be appetizing." I scrunched up my nose and Leo threw his hand over his mouth. Raph just stared in that 'what the actual hell?' way.

"Never know till you try, bro." Mikey smirked at me and I couldn't help but smile. He grabbed a chocolate cake and put it in the air, surprising Raph. "TGIF, bro's!"

"You're weird." Raph laughed with a mouth full of chocolate. Leo hit his shoulder and gave him a look. I just grinned like I couldn't help it and Mikey laughed.

"Thank you. Being weird is special and being special is…" Mikey blinked. "Special."

At that I just laughed, joined by Raph and Leo. Mikey suddenly grinned a mile wide and eat the chocolate cake in one go. I laughed harder and doubled over, my glasses falling off.

When the laughter died down I finally got a drink of tea to wash down some of the cake I'd eaten. I just can't believe this kid! I had no idea he was this entertaining!

"Hey Donnie, in the libr-woah." Mikey stopped. I blinked at him and noticed Leo was staring too, Raph joined. "Dude, you look awesome, why do ya wear those glasses?"

I put my hand to my nose and remembered my glasses fell off. I blushed and bent down to grab them but they were still staring at me. "One, they help me read. Two, people accuse me of 'trying to fit in' with this look."

"You mean because they're jealous of the way you look?" Leo asked amused. Raph and Mikey grinned at my blushing face.

"I look weird.." I said while pushing the glasses back on my nose.

"I wish I looked like you!" Mikey giggled and stretched his legs. I looked at him and rolled my eyes, but smiled in thanks and rubbed his hair.

"Well I like tha way I look, thank ya. I'm tha hottest one here anyway." Raph grinned and Leo shot him a look of full disbelief. I chuckled.

"Dude, I totally resent that!" Mikey frowned. Raph pointed at his face.

"Why, because ya look like an elementary schooler?" Me and Leo burst out laughing and Mikey rolled his eyes.

"Nah, cause I'm the cute one!" Mikey grinned and Raph just laughed. "Seriously! Okay, let me see. Out of us, Raph you're the mean one!"

"What?!" Raph demanded while me and Leo laughed more. "I'm not mean!"

"No, he's the one with the most attitude!" Leo joined in and Mikey beamed. Raph huffed and crosses his arms. "That better?"

"No." Raph glared but Leo smirked.

"What about me?" I asked cocking my head.

"Smart one." They answered immediately and I blushed.

"So I am a nerd."

"But you're at least not dorky looking!" Mikey complimented and I blushed more. He took my glasses. "Without these!"

"I need those!" I protested and he smirked.

"Not anymore!" Mikey grinned. Raph and Leo laughed.

"Ya look better without em. Who gives a rat's ass what people say?" Raph said and Leo slapped his head. "Hey, stop it Fearless!" I rose an eyebrow.

"Fearless?" Mikey questioned. Leo growled and glared at Raph. "That fits you."

"No it doesn't!"

"Yes it does." We replied and he blinked in surprise. He rolled his eyes but smiled.

"Since you're Fearless you're gonna be the Leader, kay?!" Mikey appointed and I smiled.

"The leader?" Leo asked, blinking in surprise. Raph was staring at Mikey too.

"Yep, leader of this little group we just made!" Mikey laughed with an innocent blush. "I never had friends like you guys before anyways."

Then I blinked and saw Leo frown. Raph looked between all of us and grabbed Mikey, rubbing a fist in his hair. "Ah stop it! Raph!" It quickly turned into wrestling.

"Tap out!" Raph grinned and Leo had to jump out of the way. I grabbed the snacks and tea so Sensei didn't have a fit. Mikey groaned in defeat on the ground and slapped the ground three times. Raph laughed and let him go.

"Try not to destroy my furniture." Leo scowled and Raph smirked at him.

"No promises."

I couldn't help but smile like a goon at the whole thing. I have never had so many friends before. Or should I say I've never been good at making guy friends. These are my first...

"Hey, can I take a picture of us..?" I asked shyly. They looked up in surprise but it was Mikey that beamed. He jumped off the couch quickly.

"Sure thing! I'm gonna pose like this!" Mikey got up and struck a pose fast, a hand on his hip and the other behind his head. I blurted out in laughter and Leo actually fell back on the couch. Mikey laughed too.

"Y-Y-Ya Bonehead!" Raph wailed and covered his eyes. "What was that!?"

"That was the funniest pose I've ever seen!" Leo bawled while holding his stomach. "Ahahahahaha!" I laughed hard myself and noticed Mikey was giggling hard also. In the corner of my eye I saw Sensei walk towards us with a fond smile on his face.

"Do you have a camera Donatello?" He asks me while not breaking any eye contact with us. I was still laughing when I nodded and fumbled in my bag for my phone. "Ah..yes a cell phone..."

"Here I'll show you how to take it..." I chuckled trying hard not to burst out laughing more. Sensei smiled and indicated he understood.

"C'mon Donnie!" Raph called and I turned already smiling when I joined my three new friends. Since I was the tallest I was in the middle back and Mikey was beside me.

I gave a gentle but genuine smile while wrapping an arm clumsily around Mikey who had bent a little at the waist to smile brightly at the camera with a blush on his freckled cheeks. I saw Raph put his arm on Leo's shoulder with a smirk on his face and Leo smiled softly while crossing his arms. Sensei snapped the picture.

"Dude, you gotta send me that!" Mikey smiled as we huddled around my phone staring at our first picture together. He looked up to Leo. "Oh yeah, I hope you don't mind but I told my Mom your address just in case." Leo smiled.

"It's okay." He replied as I got my phone ready to send.

"Okay send me that picture now!" Mikey grinned as he turned to me.

"Sure thing. What's your number?" I asked smiling back at him.

"Hey send me one too!" Leo added while digging in his pocket. Mikey ran to his backpack and Raph leaned on me.

"Send me a copy too." He said, surprising me for a second before he handed me his red Android phone. I blinked but registered my number and vice versa. I had to repeat this with Leo and Mikey but finally everyone had a copy.

"I like it." Sensei spoke up as he peered over Leo with a smile. Leo looked up at him and nodded, a wide smile on his face. I noticed Leo had a dark blue new IPhone while me and Raph had androids. It was Mikey that had a simple black flip phone. "Michelangelo."

Mikey blinked up in surprise at suddenly being addressed. "I believe you wanted to show the boys your nun-chucks."

"Oh yeah! I brought em!" Mikey beamed and I gawked in surprise. He pulled the orange chain sticks out of his bag and even Leo blinked.

"You carry your weapons to school too?" Leo asked after sending Raph a look. Raph rolled his eyes.

"Oh no, I went home and got them. Mom let me bring them when I told her Master Yoshi was teaching me!" Mikey explained with a excited smile.

"You can call me Master Splinter." Sensei added with a nod and smile. Mikey blinked with wide eyes until Leo nudged him.

"Oh, uh, okay Master Splinter!" Mikey grinned sheepishly, rubbing his blonde hair. I snickered.

"You may leave your weapons here when you leave if you want. They will be safe here." Sensei offered. A look crossed Mikey's face.

"That's okay. I like having them around the house.." Mikey smiled and Leo cast me a look over his head. I shrugged.

"Enough talk!" Raph grinned eagerly and I rolled my eyes. We filed into the dojo and watched Mikey's eyes grow wide.

"Dude this is legit!" I chuckled and Leo face palmed. "And big!"

"I know right?" Raph laughed as he plucked his red sai from the wall. I smiled softly when my gaze found my purple wrapped bo staff hanging near Raph's sai. Sensei really did take care of our stuff, unlike in foster care. I grabbed it and twirled it around for good measure.

Mikey gawked at me with his orange nunchucku in hand. I grinned and spun around more while moving around myself. Raph and Leo rolled their eyes at me showing off in front of Mikey. It's a funny feeling for people to think I'm a weak nerd but I can do stuff like this too. I smirked.

"Awesome! Okay, okay, watch this!" Mikey grinned and I stopped spinning. Mikey got in a 'ready position' and spun his nunchucku around with great accuracy and without hitting himself I might add. Raph's eyes grew wide and Leo looked slightly impressed. "See?! Nun-chuck fury!"

"Very good Michelangelo." Splinter chuckled as he dipped his head.

"Yeah, that's cool Mikey." I smiled warmly and he blinked with a blush. He scratched his head like he, just like Raph, was not used to praises. But since he seems to have a good relationship with his Mom it must be male figures whom never praise him.

"My old Sensei used to throw stuff at me so I could block it with my nun-chucks!" Mikey beamed while my eyes grew wide. Raph blinked in disbelief but Leo and Sensei seemed like they understood.

"What happened to him?" Raph questioned curiously. Mikey turned and blinked.

"Oh, he had to move back to Japan." Mikey smiled. "He sends me postcards!"

"That's cool." Leo said as he smiled fondly. Sensei's right, he does have a big brother character.

"Okay boys. Who wants to spar first?" Splinter smiled eagerly. I wanted to laugh at how eager he was to watch us fight.

"I will!" Raph rose his hand up high like we were in school and I snickered hard. Raph blushed and glared at me. Mikey saw this and giggled. "Against Donnie!"

My eyes grew wide but I straightened my posture. I nodded with a smirk. Me and Raph got in ready positions while Sensei stood close by. Mikey and Leo knelt near the wall to watch us. "Hajime!"

Raph rushed towards me with both sai in hand and I blocked using my bo staff in front of me. I spun then and sent a kick that dodged quickly. He got a lucky punch in my side that surprised me but I barely cringed. He shot his arm out and I grabbed it as we continue the strike and block routine. I spun my staff and charged him, almost hitting his neck but he dodged and glared at me. I spun my staff over my head and went to hit again before I noticed he grabbed it. I blinked in surprise. Raph smirked and I realized then, of course, how much stronger he was than me. I looked horrified.

Raph smirked more at my expression and looked at my staff. "Should have dropped tha staff Don." He pounced at me and hit me with it.

"Ow, okay, okay! I'm down!" I complained and he laughed. He stopped and handed me a hand. I took it as he helped me up. I rubbed my back and glared at him. "Dude..."

"Should of been a bit faster." Raph shrugged as he handed me my staff. I groaned and turned to face Sensei.

"Nice Donatello. You need to make sure to have a clear head in battle. Had that been an actual enemy you would have been killed." Sensei explained seriously. My heart raced and my face paled while I noticed the guys looked shocked at this and Raph, horrified at being compared to a killer.

"H-Hai Sensei." I replied and bowed my head before going to take my seat next to Mikey and Leo. Mikey grinned as he got up excitedly.

"Me next!" Raph snorted as he got in another position but I noticed the slight hesitation like he actually thought he hurt me or something.

"Hajime!" Splinter shouted. Raph rushed after Mikey fast but Mikey grinned. I blinked in surprise when he side-stepped just when Raph got close enough. Leo's eyes grew wide. Mikey went to kick Raph then, who was surprised by still ducked in time. Raph tried to hit or grab Mikey, but he was too fast. I did notice that he was easily distracted though.

Mikey's nun-chucks actually hit Raph's arm and he hissed. Mikey's eyes grew wide but he backed up. Raph smirked and rushed after him t pounce on him like he did with me. I watched, amazed, as small Mikey grabbed Raph when he was close enough and fall on his back then pushed Raph off with his feet. He jumped up and cheered. "Yeaaaa! Michelangelo for the win!"

Everyone in the room was quiet. Splinter shook his head with a smile just as Raph got up and tackled Mikey to the ground, pinning him. I chuckled and Leo tried hard not to grin.

"Important lesson Michelangelo. Never assume the enemy is down." Splinter chuckled when he seen Mikey dramatically gasp and fall like he was dead. Raph rolled his eyes and got off Mikey. I grinned.

Mikey went and sat down next to me while we both laughed. Leo got up and stretched while Raph grinned. I know that he likes to fight Leo the most probably because Leo trained more than us.

Splinter stopped before he gave the order and we looked at him. He was looking towards the hall with awareness and I blinked. That's when we heard the doorbell ring. "Wait a minute boys, I'll go see." He left us sitting/standing there awkwardly.

"Let's go see!" Raph smirked as he pushed Leo and rushed out. I followed quickly, noticing Leo and Mikey racing after me. We peeked around the corner and watched Sensei open the door. That's when Mikey gasped.

A woman was at the door. She was very beautiful though she had no hair. She had a purple bandanna tied around her head. She had tired but kind hazel eyes. Her cheek bones were striking and she had a small nose and kind smile on her face. She was almost just as small as Mikey but for some reason, they look nothing alike. Then I remembered that Sensei said this was his foster Mom.

"Mom..." Mikey whispered with wide eyes and before Splinter could ask who she was. Everyone turned to him surprised and then the woman, Mikey's mom smiled.

Oohhhh snap! Mikey's mom shows up! ;) Thanks for reading, I hope to hear your opinions!

STAY AWESOME!
