TMNT2 pt13
Ava's view.
I was laying down pretending to be asleep, I knew the guys would worry but I just wasn't tired. Rolling on to my side I wondered what time it was "Leo defiantly needs to get clock in here" I groaned. Restless I decided to try my luck at getting up. Sitting up I felt a wave of dizziness come to my head. "No I'm gonna get up" I coaxed myself, pushing the covers aside I stood up, I wobbled a little but quickly regained my balance. Letting out a sigh I eyed the door "well here goes nothing" I shrugged slowly making my way to the door, slowly clicking it open I poked my head through to check if the coast was clear, glancing up toward Donnie and Mikey's room their snoring could be heard from their rooms. Giggling I was about to step forward but stopped myself looking downstairs a saw Leo and Raph talking, when suddenly they shared a brotherly moment, Raph patted Leo on the shoulder. I smiled gently; it was sweet to see them like this once in a while just being themselves.
Letting out a soft sigh, I backed up a little when Raph walked toward his room, his shadow passed the door and I poked my head through again, Leo was nowhere in sight, I quickly stepped out of the room. Scanning the area I stepped forward into the open, I closed my eyes waiting for Leo's signature throat clearing but it never came, opening my eyes I double checked to make sure he wasn't there 'wow, I'm getting better at this' I mentally cheered letting a smile come to my lips I crept down the stairs, and made my way to the kitchen I was five feet away from the kitchen when a thought entered my head 'this is going to be the first time I will actually get away with this'. The familiar throat clearing made me pause and sigh 'then again maybe not' I groaned inwardly.
Slowly turning around I was greeted by the stern face of Leo, putting on a sheepish smile I put my hand behind my neck "heh, heh, hey Leo" I said nervously, his expression softened a little bit "your stealth is improving I'll give you that, but you need to rest so get back to bed" he sounded final "but Leo I can't sleep" I pouted, he walked over and stood above me "move it" he smirked playfully. I sighed in defeat and started to walk toward my room but paused and turned to him, arms crossed "what?" he asked raising a brow "well Leo it's late shouldn't you be in bed?" I smirked 'he said my stealth was improving so he probably doesn't know that I saw him and Raph have a brotherly moment ' "I- I was… uhh" he stuttered which caused me to giggle a bit. He let out a long tired sigh; I walked over to him and took his hand "come on let's go to bed" he nodded in agreement, a gentle smile came to his lips as we walked hand in hand up to our bedroom, he lay down on the bed and I copied, snuggling up beside him my head rested on his plastron, I could hear the rhythm of his heartbeat beating, it was steady and caused me to give a gentle smile. Slowly he moved his arm and wrapped it around my waist, pulling me closer to him, I let out a sigh of happiness I felt so at peace and full of tranquillity. I could feel Leo falling asleep; I was just so lucky to have him. A fear came to my mind 'what if he abandons me?' I quickly tried to shake the thought off 'he wouldn't do that, he always tells me how amazing I am' the thought was hard to believe but I forced myself to, I let sleep consume me.

For once I slept like a baby, Ellie was still in my head. I had a dream where I was jus holdin' her, takin in her scent but she was still asleep. I can't wait for tomorrow, I'm gonna go to April's and see her. I wanna hear her voice again also I wanna check out her eyes, I never seen em yet. I wonder what colour they are. An annoyin noise woke me up "Raphie, ohh Raphie" my younger half wit brother cooed "uuh whadya want Mike?" I grumbled, pullin the blanket over my head. "dude Leo says it's time for practice" Mikey explained, "since when do you like mornin' practice Mike?" I groaned "since, I got caught hangin out with Ava instead of practicing" he smiled "besides I'M on a mission today" he beamed, tying my bandana I raised a brow "oh really and what's that?" I asked "I'm gonna find out when it's Ava's birthday" he whispered the last part. I thought for a second "yeah she neva told us when it was" "too right dude, and I'm on a mission to find out when it is so we can party" he punched the air and laughed "come on chuckle head, before Leo makes ya do press-ups". We left the room and for once I had a happy smirk "today's going to be a good one" I laughed. Once we got down to the dojo, Leo and Donnie were already there "hey dude where's Master Splinter?" Mike asked Donnie. Donnie shook his head "Mike, today there having the new episode of 'Gilmore girls' you know what he's like with that show" he laughed, "I heard that" I voice came from the kitchen "BUSTED" Mikey and I chimed. Donnie's face was priceless, but our fun was stopped by Leo "come on guys, we've got no time for this let's get started", "aww" Mikey whined "Mikey I thought you wanted to train?" I teased, "Dude, it's training" he said sarcastically "your point being?" Leo stated, crossing his arms "my point being…. Uhh let's get started" he laughed nervously. Leo let out a sigh before startin trainin' 'the second this is over I'm goin to April's' It was final
