Perfect Gift pt 1
Leo's POV
"Leo! I don't know! I'm sorry!" Donny says in frustration. "Go ask Mikey or something! I'm busy working on MY present for [Y/N]."
"What are ya yelling about Einstein?" Raph asks as he walks into the lab. Donny looks up at him, still looking flabbergasted.
"Take your brother and help him find a birthday present for his girlfriend." Donny says.
"How will Raph help me? He's not exactly in touch with his feminine side." I say while crossing my arms. Donny then glares at me.
"Are you implying I am?" He asks me. I get a surprised look on my face.
"What? No, I mean… what I meant to say was… Don, I didn't mean…" I stutter, feeling defeated.
"C'mon Leo." Raph says and starts pushing me out of the room. "Let's get you out of here before that big mouth of yers gets ya in even more trouble." We get out of the lab and as soon as Raph shuts the door, there's a locking sound.
"I'm sorry Don." I call out.
"Whatever!" He says. I sigh and turn to Raph, who looks amused.
"What?" I ask in annoyance.
"Ya sure are getting' on everyone's nerves Fearless." Raph smirks.
"I have no idea what to get [Y/N] for her birthday Raph! The party's tonight! Everyone knows what they're getting her, except me! The boyfriend!" I say, then I sigh and sit down on the floor. I lean my head against the door to the lab as Raph sits down by me. "Some boyfriend I am." I say.
"Aw, c'mon, Fearless. Yer a great boyfriend ta [Y/N]! Ya just want ta get her the best present." Raph says.
"Exactly. But I don't know what that'd be." I admit.
"Well, ya said ya needed feminine opinion, so let's go talk ta April. She's probably at home preparing fer tha party tonight." Raph suggested. "If anyone'll know what girly things [Y/N] wants it'll be April."
"Hey, that's actually not a bad idea Raph!" I smile. "Quick! Let's go!"
"You want an idea of what [Y/N] would like for her birthday, huh?" April asks while she puts streamers around the apartment.
"Please tell me you have some sort of idea." I beg.
"Well, I got her a pair of earrings." April shrugs. "I know she likes wearing jewelry. Maybe you should make her a bracelet or something." I then got a smile on my face.
"Wait a second…" I start.
"Whatcha thinkin' Leo?" Raph asks with an eye ridge raised.
"I'm thinking we need to head to the farmhouse. Right now!" I say, dragging my brother out of the apartment. "Thanks for the idea April!" I yell back.
"You're… welcome?" She says, still confused. I drag Raph down to the sewers and run straight to the lair. As soon as we get in, I run to my room and check under my bed. I see a small piece of cloth wrapped gently around an object. I smile and grab it quickly before running back, grabbing Raph, and heading to the Battle Shell.
Back To You
"And I don't know how it gets better than this! Ya take my hand and drag me head first Fearless! And I don't know why but with you I'd dance, in a storm in my best dress Fearless!" You sing along with your stereo as you're getting ready to head over to April's for your birthday party with her, Casey, the guys, and Master Splinter. You hadn't heard from any of them all day, but you were told by April yesterday to show up around 7. You knew it wasn't a surprise party since obviously you knew about it. But you still wondered why nobody bothered to talk to you today. It was your birthday after all. You continued to get ready anyways. Your stereo then starts to get fuzzy. You sigh as you go and turn it off. You'd have to talk to Donny about fixing it later. Anyways, you put on a nice halter dress that had a paisley pattern in blue and purple on it. It slanted slightly at the bottom and came to your knees. You put on black boots to finish the outfit and then you went back to curling your hair. After it was all curled loosely, you put it over in a side ponytail. You touched up your make-up a bit and then went to the kitchen. You grabbed your stuff and then headed to April's for the party. As soon as you got to the shop, you saw the window to April's apartment open. That always meant one of two things. Either Casey was out playing vigilante again, or the turtles and Master Splinter were over. You smile cheerfully and quickly run upstairs. You knock on the door 4 times as a sign to the guys that it's just you. The door swings open and you're greeted by a very excited Mikey.
"Happy Birthday [Y/N]!" He yells as he hugs you and swings you around.
"Thanks Mikey!" You giggle. He sets you down in the apartment and closes the door behind you.
"Yes, Happy Birthday [Y/N]!" April smiles and comes to hug you.
"Yeah! Can't believe how old ya gettin'!" Casey Jones laughs as he comes to hug you too.
"Geez, thanks Casey." You say sarcastically. You look around to see and absence of three more turtles and their rat sensei. "Where are the others?"
"Donny's in the other room putting some final touches on your present from him. Master Splinter's in the kitchen talking to Leo and Raph over the phone." Mikey says.
"Where'd they go?" You ask.
"They left earlier for the farmhouse for some reason." April shrugs. You feel slightly disappointed.
"Oh…" You say.
"But don't worry dudette, they should be on their way back!" Mikey reassures you. You nod. Donny and Master Splinter join you all soon and April decides it's time to eat. You all dig into some homemade pizza while small conversations float around the room. Just when everyone is about to finish, two figures come into the room from the open window.
"Sorry we're late." Leo apologizes and Raph follows him in. Both of them are holding presents in their hands. They set them on the coffee table and come join everyone at the table. Leo smiles at you and kisses the top of your head. "Happy Birthday."
"Thanks!" You smile. April brings out the cake and they all sing 'Happy Birthday' to you. And when April passes out pieces of cake, Mikey begs and pleads for you to start opening presents. "Fine." You cave. "But you get to bring them to me." He smiles and gets up to bring you all of the presents. The first one he hands you is in a little orange box.
"That ones from me." He says with a smile.
"Really? The orange didn't give it away." You giggle, but tear into the box. Inside is a small figurine of Spiderman, you're favorite superhero.
"Now, when Leo's not around, you can be protected!" Mikey smiles when he sees yours.
"No way am I putting the life of my girlfriend in the hands of some small toy." Leo says. You just eye him.
"Hey! Give Mini Spidey a break Leo!" You say, hitting him lightly. You turn to Mikey and smile. "Thank you Mikey! I love it!"
"Knew ya would!" Mikey grins. He then hands you a smaller box on top of a package of Hershey Kisses.
"That's from Casey and me!" April smiles.
"I'm guessing the chocolate's from Casey?" You laugh a bit. He nods. "Well good job. Chocolate's always a great present." Inside the small box is a set of earrings, small earrings too. And in the shape of tiny turtles. "Aw! April!" You say, taking them out and sticking them in. You look at your reflection in your spoon. "I love them! Thank you so much!" You get out of your chair and tackle her in a hug.
"You're welcome! I knew you'd love them!" She says. Once you get back to your seat, Mikey hands you a book with a bow on top.
"This one's from Master Splinter." He tells you. You take the bow off to where you can read the title. You gasp.
"Oh my gosh…" You say. You turn the book around to let everyone see the cover.
"Is that…?" Donny starts.
"Yes. The old Renaissance book I chose your names out of." Master Splinter smiles. "[Y/N] has been asking if she could borrow it to read, but I decided it would be a better birthday present."
"Wow…" Leo says as he stares at the book cover.
"Thank you so much Master Splinter! I absolutely love it!" You squeal and get up to hug the old rat. He just chuckles and returns your hug. You go to sit back down and Mikey hands you a package that's somewhat flat and is wrapped in red tissue paper. You open it and see a movie you've been wanting. You smile at Raph. "Thanks Raph! This is the exact one I've been wanting!" He just gives you a small smile and a nod. Mikey hands you a big package wrapped in purple now. You stare at it for a second, then look around it to glance at Donatello, who's looking amused. "What'd you get me? An elephant?"
He chuckles. "Just open it!" You stand, tear into the paper, take the top of the box off and smile. Inside was a new stereo! You squeal as you take it out and set it on the table for everyone to see. You examine it with a smile on your face.
"Donny! This is great! How'd you know I needed a new one?" You ask.
"Last time we were over it was acting all weird. You mentioned something about needing a new one and that's when I got the idea." He says. "This one's fully decked out too. Touch screen, Bluetooth compatible, and it even will let you download music straight from the internet." He smiles proudly. You stare at him with your mouth agape.
"Wow. This is so cool Donatello! You've really outdone yourself!" You smile at him. Mikey hands you the last present, a little blue box. You start to get butterflies at the thought of what you're beau had gotten you. You look at Leo, but he seems perfectly calm. You carefully tear into the small box and bring out what's inside to take a better look. Your mouth drops, almost dropping your present in the process. You stare at a small necklace. Silver chain, but the little pendant on it is the thing that makes you speechless. It's a small heart, but it looks like a turtle shell. You look closer and see all the details on it. Then, you notice a small chunk missing on the upper right side of it. It looks so familiar. That's when you realize it looks exactly like Leo's shell. That little missing chunk in the corner is also there on Leo's shell. You look at Leo in amazement. "Where did you get this?" You ask.
"Um, I actually made it." He says and rubs the back of his neck nervously. "It's made from the remaining steel I had from my very first katana blade. I always knew I was saving it for something special." He chuckles a bit. You go speechless again. Then, you start to tear up a bit. Leo freaks then. "Are you okay [Y/N]?" Ha asks. "D… Do you not like it?"
"No Leo, I love it." You say, smiling at him. "It's perfect." You attack him in a hug and only pull away because Mikey started going 'AWWWWWW!'. You look at Leo eagerly. "Will you put it on me?"
He smiles. "I can try. I'm not too sure how big, bulky fingers and tiny clasps work though." He takes it in his hands and puts it around you. After a while, he finally gets it on. You smile at him and then smile at the others too.
"Thank you so much everyone. This has been the best birthday ever." You smile.
"Ever?" Mikey asks with a smile.
You nod. "Definitely ever."
"Agent Bishop, you have a call." A soldier steps into the labratory and tells his boss. Bishop looks up from his microscope.
"Very well." John Bishop tells him, shooing him away after. The soldier leaves quickly, leaving Bishop alone. He heads from his lab table and to the phone. Only one person ever called him these days. "Make this quick. I have to get back to copying mutant turtle DNA."
"Bishop. These boxes were fakes!" Karai shouts, making Bishop move the phone away from his ear. He rolls his eyes under his dark glasses.
"Oh really? How... funny." He says with a smirk.
"We had a deal Agent Bishop." She says with a growl.
"Actually, I told you I would give you what you need. Which quite frankly, those empty boxes would make better ninjas than the ones you have now." Bishop replied back coldly.
"You will regret this decision Agent Bishop. I assure you." Karai says and hangs up. One of her head ninja then come into her office. "What?" She spits.
"Mistress Karai, what will we do about Agent Bishop?" He asks. Karai thinks for a second before showing a cruel smile.
"Do not worry. We shall get our revenge and our supplies. But first, we must have the help of some old friends." Karai says.
"Mistress?" The ninja asks in confusion.
"To put it in simple terms... The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Karai replies.
Whooooooa! That last part is a bit trippy! :O What do you guys think is going to happen next? Question time! :)
mr nice puppy asks: Well ive thought about this for awhile n raph's made me think even deeper about could "you" & leo have kids? Not like im asking " hey let em have kids" but I mean is it possible and what would they look like?
My answer: Okay, I did some research on this just for you. I think you all will find my answer interesting! :) So, we, as humans, have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Turtles, have 22 pairs. The only pair they are missing is the sex chromosome. Their gender is determined on the temperature of the egg during incubation... from what I read. So, knowing that, I think it might be very possible for them to have kids with a human. It should just mean that the human's extra chromosome would determine the baby's sex. But I'm quite unsure if the baby would be born live, or in an egg... But as far as I'm concerned, this is fan fiction! :D We can do whatever the heck we want! And personally, I've always thought of mutant turtle/human offsprings looking just like their fathers, only with five fingers and hair. They have a shell and green skin though. But that's just my opinion. They probably look different for different authors. Haha, I feel very proud of myself for getting all scientifical! :)
