Chapter 6: Birds of a Feather

A/N: Sorry this took me so long to get out, but I wasn't sure what to write about next and was debating between tow ideas. The second idea won, so that's what I'm going with. Thanks to all of those who have read and reviewed thus far. Your support means the world to me.

Al: Sorry the site's not responding for you. I hope it gets fixed. I'm glad that while reading this you feel like you're watching the show. That means a lot to me. So, have you seen the Nick series then? If so, what do you think of it? Thanks for reading. It means a lot to me.

"Hey, Leo, what's up?"

"Oh, hey, Maddie. Not much. Just watching an episode of Space Heroes."

"So am I. It's one of my favorites."

"Same here. So how are things going for you?"

"Good. I think I failed that math test though. I swear, math is killing me right now. I totally don't get why I need that in my life."

"Well, it helps you to think. That's what Donnie told Raph once when he questioned why he'd need math."

"Yeah, but it's still boring."

"I agree with you on that. It is pretty boring. You should see Donnie when he starts rambling about something. It's like being at a class lecture. I swear, if Don was human, he would totally make a good teacher."

"Yeah, and he'd bore the hell out of his students."

"Hey, Leo, who the hell you talkin' to?"

"I'm talking to Maddie, Raph."

"Oh, that chick you rescued who's as obsessed with that stupid Space Shit as you are?"

"Knock it off, Raph! It's a really good show."

"I beg to differ on that one, but whatever."

"Leo, who the hell are you talking to?"

"My idiot brother who hates Space Heroes. But I personally think he likes it and doesn't want to admit it."

"You mean, he's a closet Spacenik?"

"Yep, that's exactly what I mean."

"Hey, I heard that! And I'm so not!"

"Sure you're not, Raph. I've caught you peeking at the show."

"Well, it's hard to look away when you've got it blaring. It's all I hear when I'm in the living room."

"You keep telling yourself that, Raph."

"Grr, you better shut up before I shove your katanas up your ass, Leo."

"I don't think you could get them up there since my shell protects my delicate ass."

"Oh, I'd get them up there, Leo. I have my ways."

"You'd probably have to lube them up though with some KY Jelly."

"Wait, how the hell do you know about that?"

"You shouldn't leave your magazines where others can find them, Raph. That's a poor ninja move."

"You ain't gonna tell Sensei, are you?"

"Not as long as you stop bashing Space Heroes."

"Okay, okay, I won't say a word. Geez, you're such a pain in the ass sometimes."

"You know you love me, Raph."

"Leo, you still there?"

"Yeah, I'm here, Maddie. Sorry about that. I got sidetracked with my brother."

"That's okay. He sounds hilarious."

"Try living with him. Then you won't think he's so hilarious."

"Leo, shut up before I kick your shell in!"

"I'm just joking, Raph. What, I can't have a sense of humor?"

"You can, but not at my expense. I think you've been hangin' out with Mikey too long."

"Well, he is around a lot, you know."

"Leo, I have to go. My sister just walked in and wants me to help unload groceries. I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"Yeah, I'll talk to you later. 'Bye, Maddie."

"Bye."

"You didn't tell her you love her."

"That's because she's a friend, Raph. You don't tell a friend that you love her."

"Are you sure that's all that's goin' on between you two?"

"Yes! Why does it matter to you anyway?"

"I'm just curious is all."

"Yeah, and curiosity killed the cat, Raph."

"Is that a threat?"

"No, I'm just saying you should just mind your own business."

"Well, I got a saying for you, Leo."

"And what's that?"

"Birds of a feather flock together."

"What's that mean?"

"It means that you and Maddie have a bit in common. Maybe you should go for it."

"Go for what?"

"A relationship."

"I'm not ready for that, Raph. Besides, being a ninja is too risky. I can't form a relationship with anybody."

"Okay, fine. Your loss."

"Just go read your comic book and shut the hell up."

"Aye, aye, Captain."

"Smartass."

A/N: So, that's the end of another chapter. I had so much fun with this one. Maddie is an OC I created and is featured in my one shot Holding Out for a Hero. I've also got an idea for the next chapter as well, so that should be coming out soon. Feel free to leave a review and have a shelltastic day.
