Thanks for the reviews! This will sadly be the last update of the summer for this story. When school starts on Tuesday I will be starting a new routine for famfiction. I will most likely only update two stories a week, three if I'm lucky, but that's the max. Meaning that updates will be more spaced out. Hopefully I will still receive reviews during that time, maybe even more. Anyway, enjoy and review because I'm still unsure whether or not to shut this story down. It's all depending on what you guys think!
Michelangelo Pov
I stare up at the ceiling, a blank expression on my face as I do nothing but listen to the clock ticking. Tick, tock, tick, tock.
Rolling over, I look at Kala, my sleeping beauty. A smile gross on my lips as I wrap my arms around her, tugging her closer to me. "Morning Angelcakes." I whisper into her hair.
"What do you want?" Kala demands with a groan.
"Do I really have to want something to snuggle my beautiful, amazing girlfriend?"
"Yup. Now, cough it up."
I roll my eyes. How is it that she knows me so well? Just a few months ago our dates were nothing but arcade games and pizzas, and now we're on a vacation together, cuddling and kissing every night before drifting off into a dream land.
"I wanna go to the pool. Like, really bad." I admit.
"Well, I'm not going to the pool, I'm going back to bed. Go ask your brother or somethin'. Night." Kala recloses her eyes and I get up, trudging out of the room and through the upstairs living room, heading to Donatello's and April's room. Dad and Claire have the downstairs bedroom, everyone else staying upstairs.
I open the door and look around, making sure that my brother is here. Sure enough, he is, sleeping on the side of the bed closest to the bathroom, his back turned to sleeping April.
"Donnie. Donnie, you awake? Donnie, I gotta ask us somethin', wake up. Don. D. Donatello Niccolo Hamato, wake up." I slap my brothers face lightly, urging him to wake up. When his brown eyes shoot open, I withdraw my hand and stare down at him expectingly. "Donnie, you up?"
"Yes, Mikey, that's sorta why my eyes are open. What do you want?"
"I wanna to go to the pool. Like, really bad." I answer, reciting the words I told Kala.
"Ya, well, I'm sleeping, so, bye." My brother shuts his eyes and moves around a bit, making himself comfortable.
My eyes widen in alarm. "What? No, you just said you were awake!"
"Mmmm, nah, I was just kidding."
"Lying is more like it." I say, putting my hands on my hips.
"Okay, I was lying. Leave me alone so I can sleep."
"Fine, sweet dreams." I pat my brothers shoulders before leaving the room.
Who can I ask now that'll actually say yes? Hm.. Jake.
I run across the living room once more, and I open the door next to my own. "Jake?" I ask. My eyes wander over the three beds. One is pressed against the wall right beside the door, and the other two are a bunk bed. Jake is on the bottom one, sitting up right, playing on his iPad. "Jake, you wanna go to the pool?"
My soon-to-be-step-brother perks up and nods his head vigorously. I go to my room to change into my bathing suit while Jake changes into his.
We meet up again outside Donnie's door.
Walking over to my brother, I tip toe, with Jake right beside me.
"Donnie, Donnie guess what?"
Groaning, Donatello opens his eyes and glares at me. "What, Mikey?" He demands bitterly.
"Me and Jake are going to the pool." I say with a grin.
"Nope, you aren't aloud to unless you have a mature, responsible person with you, you know that."
"I'll be there though." Donatello raises his eyebrows at me. I sigh, ready to correct my mistake. "Fine, we won't go down by ourselves. Can you please come? Please please pleeeeease?!"
"No. I want to sleep for a little longer, go watch tv or something and I'll be up in a half hour." Donatello rolls over, his back now facing me. I frown as he wraps his arms around April, snuggling close to her.
"Ya but, that's like, four SpongeBob's, I can't wait four SpongeBob's." I put my hands on my hips.
"Go away, Mikey."
That's it, I'm going to get my brother to go to the pool one way or the other. And considering her wont go by choice, we'll have to work with force.
I plop down onto Donatello.
My brother let's out an 'oof' as the wind gets knocked out of him. "How about now? Will you take me to the pool now?"
"No! Get off me- or else!"
"Threat! Verbal threat, I feel threatened!" I yell loudly as I get shoved off the bed.
Donatello stares down at me with fiery eyes and clenched fists. "Don, sweetheart, can you please take Mikey to the pool so I can sleep? Please?" April asks.
Donnie heaves a sigh. "Of course, darling." He says in defeat as he stands up. So that's how it works. "Go down stairs, I'm gonna change."
"Okay!" I skip downstairs and jump on the couch while I wait for Donnie.
My brother trudges down the stairs with bags under his eyes and his laptop in his hands. I follow after him as he goes to get himself some coffee.
I sit down at the counter right next to Jake. "Donnie, sweetheart, can ya get me some coffee?" I flutter my eyelashes.
Donatello glares at me over his shoulder. "That only works with April. Come on, let's go outside."
When we get down to the pool, I run and jump into it. Swimming around, I splash and yell happily. Jake plays with some action figures on the stairs, and Donnie sits on a lawn chair, working on his laptop.
Frowning, I look around the pool. There's no one to play with, and that makes the pool boring.
"Ya, I'm done swimming." I say, getting out of the water and searching for a towel.
"Nope, no you don't. You get back in the pool right now and you are not leaving for at least an hour." Donatello sends me a warning glare. Sending me back into the pool.
Bored and irritated, and run back into the pool and sink myself to the bottom. Holding my breath like a champ, I sit on the ground. Like a turtle do.
As I float up, I splash the water around me.
No Pov
Eight teens and a child all sat together in a private room at Castaways as they waited for Claire and Yoshi to arrive from their evening stroll. Two tables were set up, one for each household. At the larger table, Donatello, Michelangelo, April, and Kala sat at one side, while Jake and two empty chairs, reserved for the parents, sat on the other.
At the second table, Leonardo and Karai sat together with Raphael and Mona across from them.
Raphael had his arm wrapped around his girlfriends shoulder, who was holding his hand that was draped over her. Leonardo and Karai held hands, resting them both of Leo's thigh.
"Who's going to the best man at the wedding?" Mona asked. Claire and Yoshi's wedding was only two days away, tomorrow was the last day for preparation.
Leonardo exchanged a look with his little brother before answering. "Dad's not sure yet, he said he'll tell us sometime before the wedding. Who knows when that'll be." Leo rolled his eyes.
"The guy always takes forever to decide things, it took him 15 years just to decide who would lead the team, I wouldn't be surprised if there wedding had to be held off for another decade." A chorus of laughter escaped into the air, warming the atmosphere.
"Ya, but we all know who he's gonna choose." Leonardo said with a mischievous smirk.
"Oh really? Who, then, is its so damn obvious?" Raphael demanded in a challenging tone. He already knew what Leonardo was going to say, and he didn't agree.
"Me." Karai smiled at her fiancé's cockiness, and leaned her head on his shoulder.
Raphael removed his arm from where it lay around his girlfriend. He folded his arms on the table, leaning forward towards his brother. "You're so smug, ya know that? You think that the whole world revolves around you, you think that because Dad made you leader then you're the king, the lord. You have it glued in your mind that we're nothing but the dirt beneath your feet. But you're wrong, you aren't better than us, you're the same as us, equal to us."
Leonardo chuckled at his brother's growling hiss. "I'm just messing with you, you don't need to be so dramatic all the time."
Mona and Karai exchanged weary glances. Both could sense an argument on the rise, and they slowly slide their chairs away from their lovers, as to not get caught in the middle of a lash.
"Dramatic? I'm being dramatic?" Raphael laughed hysterically. "I'm not dramatic, that's you, fearless."
Leonardo narrowed his eyes. "Don't call me that."
"Right, sorry, I forgot. It's asshole now, isn't it?" Raphael stood up, grabbed his glass on water, and splashed the whole cup onto Leonardo. The glass shattered as Raphael threw it to the ground and stomped out of the restaurant, leaving his family to sit in silence.
Flustered, Mona stood up. "I should go talk to him." She then scurried out.
At the bigger table, a grin slowly grew on Michelangelo's face. "Food fight?" He asked in a whisper.
Donatello heard his baby brothers quiet question, and sent him a warning glare. "No. No food fights, you'll get us kicked-"
Mikey stood up on his chair and grabbed a handful of hush puppies. "FOOD FIGHT!" He hollered.
Food flew across the room, hitting Karai and Leonardo, hitting April and Kala and Jake. Soon, everyone was in on it, but it wasn't bad until Michelangelo hit Donatello.
Donatello took a hush puppy right to the face, and exploded with anger immediately afterwards. "OH YOU ARE GONNA GET IT." He lunged at Michelangelo, pinning him to the ground as he slapped his face repeatedly.
The waitress walked into the room, and everyone froze.
...
"So you mean to tell me that you 'accidentally' started a fight in a restaurant while me and Claire were away?" Yoshi paced back and forth in his and Claire's bedroom. His four sons sat on the bed, their heads hanging shamefully.
"Um, no, it wasn't an accident. We started it on purpose but it got out of hand, that was an accident." Leonardo spoke for the majority, as usual.
The majority, though, not Raphael.
"Well I didn't do shit. I left and it all started. Can I go now?" He demanded impatiently.
Yoshi stopped in front of his second eldest child. He studied him carefully, picking out all of the tension and anger that shone through his skin, coming from his soul.
"You splashed Leonardo with water, did you not?" Raphael immediately slumped back down, folding his arms. "Now, what should your punishments be?" Yoshi paced back and forth, eyeing the quadruplets carefully.
"Punishment?" Donatello gulped.
"Of course, you got us band from a restaurant. A restaurant that me and Claire had made very expensive reservations to."
The teens exchanged nervousness glances just as their father began handing out punishments.
Yoshi started with his youngest first. "Michelangelo, no pool for you at all tomorrow. If you disobey then you will lose it for the rest of the vacation." Mikey let out a faint whimper.
"Donatello, I will be keeping your laptop with me for the rest of the week. No more work, try to enjoy yourself, my son."
"Raphael, lights out by eleven o'clock tonight. I'm giving you the simplest punishment because you did very little." Raphael widened his eyes. Eleven o'clock? Too early, far too early.
"And Leonardo, I will be taking your ID. You will get it back when we reach New York." Leonardo smirked as he pulled his wallet out of his back pocket. He grabbed and handed his father his fake ID, which Karai had given him shortly after he turned human.
"No offense, but was this really the best you could do?" Leonardo asked, suppressing a laugh as he pressed the ID into his father's palm.
Yoshi grinned, he always knew how to get to his sons when it came to consequences, and it was always a pleasure when he had to explain. "Yes, because you won't have it at thee wedding."
"Wait, what? But you said I could!" Leonardo stands up and yells in defense.
"You were going to let him drink?" Raphael demands bitterly.
"Yes, under the limit of two drinks."
"Okay and the rest of us?" Raphael couldn't help but feel left out. He was always pushed aside, always forgotten. He was the second choice, always.
"Donatello I knew would not want to drink, same with Michelangelo. As for you, I have a theory that you will be very destructive under the influence of alcohol."
So it was final, punishments were made and all of the brothers were cross with each other. They were never very good at accepting fault. So much easier, it was, to pin the blame on others rather than yourself.
Chapter 11 everyone! I hope you enjoyed this chapter, please leave a review! I will not be updating until I receive at least 3. Enjoy the last few days of summer everyone.
