Disclaimer: I only own Artemesia and Masaru!
Okay, so this is actually a few weeks after Art returned. She had just met April and they befriended each other or whatever. Raphie isn't grounded anymore, and they haven't really heard from Masaru since the TV incident. Artemisia has calmed down, though she still has a habit of hurting anyone who disturbs her slumber.
Enjoy!
"It was nice meeting you Artemesia! Bye guys!" April called as she left the lair.
The five turtles waved, "Bye!"
Leo and Raph headed to the dojo as Mikey darted to the kitchen, and Donnie started walking to his lab. Artemisia stood for a second, a half smile forming on her face.
"Hey, Donnie! Wait up!" she yelled, running after her sibling.
Donatello held the door to his lab open as he saw her running in, "Can I help you with something Art?" he asked, noticing her smile.
"Do you like April?"
His cheeks flushed and he collapsed into a computer chair, Donnie twisted it around to face his desk and tapped the touchpad to wake up his laptop, "Maybe..." he answered quietly.
Art sat on the ledge of the desk, "C'mon bro... I'm your sister, you know you can tell me anything! Especially about girls..."
Donnie glanced at her, "Since when were you interested in my lovelife?"
"Ever since you started talking about April... Just the way you described her 'beautiful red hair' and those 'endearing blue eyes' of hers... You definitely have a crush. Boys only talk about girls like that if they like her..." she answered, kicking her legs back and forth.
Her little brother sighed, "So what if I do like her? She'll never like me back..."
Artemesia's grin grew larger, "Never say never Donnie boy! I am a love doctor..."
"You are, are you?" Donnie smiled.
"Yes! Every girl is! Trust me on this Donnie, she'll come around... She just needs... A little encouragement from a friend...And I am just the one to do it!" Art was barely able to keep herself calm.
"Artemisia..." Donatello started.
She giggled, "Relax Donnie, I'll just brag about you until you get the guts to steal her heart!"
Donatello looked at his sister, "Steal her heart?"
"You know..." she poked his arm, " Don't play dumb with me! Raph told me about that chart you made!"
In an effort to change the subject, Donnie quickly said, " You and Raph finally made up?"
Artemisia got the hint, "Boys..." she mumbled, "Uh, yeah... Sorta. Master Splinter made us apologize to each other last night... Have you noticed he's been acting a bit strange lately? Or is he always... ya know..."
"Master Splinter?"
she nodded.
"Yeah, he's been acting differently ever since you came home..."
"Oh."
"I wouldn't worry about it too much, Art. He is probably just shocked that his little girl came back after all of these years!"
She laughed, "Maybe... You know, we haven't heard from Masaru after he possessed the TV..."
Donnie nodded in agreement, "You're right, we haven't... And we haven't gotten a new television yet either. Mikey has his gameboy... but Leo can't watch Space Heroes anymore, I think it's starting to drive him crazy."
"Oh, I love Space Heroes!" Artemisia cried.
"Leo will be happy to hear that..." He replied.
"Hear what?" Leonardo came into the lab.
Donnie and Art looked at each other.
Leo grew suspicious, "Guys?"
Donatello pointed at their sister, "Art likes Space Heroes, Leo, you're not alone anymore!"
He smiled, "Woah, you do?"
Artemisia got off the desk, "Yeah, it was the only good cartoon on in Japan while I was growing up."
"Well, who's your favorite character?!"
"Celestial! She was a bad guy, but she has these tricks that are so awesome!" Artemisia answered excitedly.
The two smiled at each other.
Donatello got up and grabbed an old broom that was leaning on the wall, "Okay, all Space Heroes fans out!" he whacked both of their shells.
Art and Leo raced to the exit as Donnie shooed them away. Once they were out Donatello slammed the door saying, "Sorry guys, but you can both fangirl about it without me. I have work to do!"
Leonardo crossed his arms, "Hey, I'm not a girl!"
Art rubbed her shell, "Couldn't he have just hit us with his bo?"
"Well a broom is more traditional..." Leo reasoned.
She looked at him.
He shrugged, "It's true..."
"Yeah but we aren't cats and dogs!" she argued.
Leonardo nodded, "You're right, we're turtles..."
She stuck her tongue out at him, "Now I kinda want to watch Space Heroes..."
"What? Now there's two of them?! Agh, just turn me into turtle soup!" Raphael complained.
The other two turtles turned around, "C'mon Raph, Space Heroes is a great show!" Leo said.
Raph shook his head, "Nerds..."
"Just be glad I don't obsess with it like Leo does, Raphael..." Art added.
Mikey came walking in then with a big pot in one hand, stirring the substance inside with a wooden spoon in the other, "Hey dudes, and dudette, I improved my pizza soup if anybody is up for it?"
"Pizza soup?" Artemisia asked, obviously wary.
Mikey smiled, "Yeah sis! My good friend Leatherhead loves this stuff! Now I'm just trying to get my family to like it too!"
The three of them peeked inside the pot, and what they saw wasn't very appetizing.
"Eh, I don't know Mikey..." Leo hesitated.
"Why is it bubbling? I don't think so Michelangelo..." Raph claimed.
Mikey gave puppydog eyes toward his older sister.
She took a step back, "If I try this stuff, you two are tasting it with me." she pointed at Leo and Raph.
They almost ran away, if Art hadn't grabbed their shells and plopped them on the ground they would have been topside by now.
"Okay, you ready Arty?" Mikey asked, giving her the spoon.
She dipped it in, but before she put the spoonful in her mouth she said, "As ready as I'll ever be."
Artemisia put it in her mouth and swallowed, she managed to smile, but shivered at the aftertaste, "Needs to be sweeter Mikey..."
She shoved the spoon in Raph's hand, "Your turn."
He had the same reaction as Art, but he grimaced instead of smiled at his little brother.
Then it was Leo's turn, he carefully sipped it and almost spit it out, but he forced a smile, "Very... Bracing Mikey..."
Michelangelo sighed, "I know you guys didn't like it, but thanks for trying it anyway..." he got up and went back to the kitchen.
Once he was out of earshot, Art said, "Anybody else feel an intense need to puke now?"
The others nodded, holding their stomachs and groaning.
"Let's not tell Mikey about this alright?" Leo moaned.
"Alright." they agreed.
A/N: I do intend on making the next chapters longer and might even go back in time if you guys want me to. Thank you so much for reading and please feel free to offer ideas and share your thoughts! I really enjoy this!
