Fluttershy127: Game night in the lair. Mikey just thinks it's fun. Donnie thinks to long before he makes a move. And Leo and Raph takes it to seriously. And finally there's April who has no idea what she has gotten her self into.

TMNT-TMNT-TMNT-TMNT

I haven't written much "nice" stuff (as in no killing and pain) but I will do my best!

I've set this near the start of season 1 so there's no Casey and the amazing Splinter is still alive (CURSE YOU PRODUCERS FOR MESSING WITH OUR HEARTS!...Okay, I loved that episode too much to complain!) Anyways: about the story, I'm not much for games, so I chose the Wii as: 1, there are plenty of games to choose from, and 2, a DS's buttons are too small for the adorably large hands of the guys! ;P

Here we go:

At first, April thought it would be a great idea to bring her Nintendo Wii down to the sewers for Donnie to hook up to their TV so she could challenge the guys to a games night, however things started going badly from the word go. She dropped one numchuck as she entered the sewers, creating a horrible cracking noise which she hoped wasn't too serious, then when picking that up, her copy of Just Dance 2 slipped out of her bag, into the sewage running past her and began to float away. True, she did manage to catch it and fish it out with the top of the Wii remote tennis racket, but now it stank.

When she finally got to the lair, she was welcomed with cheers (and a "What's with the smell?" from Raph) but the excitement soon faded when she realised something.

"Guys. Can you even plug anything into that TV?"

Mikey grinned,

"Of course you can, April, how'd you think we watch tapes?!" Behind him Donnie had darted into the lab before re-emerging with various tools, sockets and wires. When Mikey saw this, he hugged the telly protectively. "Dude, what are you doing with that?" By this stage, Raph and Leo had appeared from the dojo and were watching the scene with small smirks of their faces. Donnie attempting to fix a device his brothers didn't want touched in fear of said device exploding was apparently common.

"Mikey," Leo eventually decided to intervene as the two younger turtles began wrestling with a soldering iron – something Mikey probably didn't understand the danger in messing around with, "why don't you choose the first game while Donnie, uh…" He faltered for a minute and the genius gestured for him to continue from behind Mikey.

"Sets it up." Raph finished for his brother, leaving Leo looking relieved at not having to come up with an excuse.

April was amazed at how easily Mikey could be distracted as he dived towards her bag, pulling the games out, offering a running commentary as he went.

"We have to go one on one – there's only two remotes –" he offered causing April to blush. She knew many had four to make for a larger group to enjoy the game at once, but growing up with just her dad, there was little point in buying more – especially since money could be tight at times. Thankfully though, this didn't seem to matter much as Mikey barely paused for breath, "So I think I should be games master – choosing who is going to get to play who! OH!" He let out an excited squeal, very un-turtle like in April's opinion, "I wanna do Just Dance 2! Good songs here! The Mikester states that," the youngest raised his voice dramatically, "Leo will take Raph!" April giggled at the thought of the two eldest dancing. It was actually quite an entertaining image, "April will take Donnie! Oh- what about Sensei?"

"What about me?" Everyone jumped, even Donnie, soldering iron still in hand, but now warm. He cursed and quickly put his slightly burnt finger in his mouth to cool it down. Splinter gave him an apologetic look then looked to April. "Ah, is this the game night you promise, April?" She nodded, hiding her excitement of Splinter playing along as well. The rat looked back to Mikey, gesturing him to continue matching people up.

"And I will take on Sensei!" The ninja master raised an eyebrow, "We're gonna do Just Dance!" He cheered, just as Donnie yelled,

"Finished!" Having no experience in electronics, April couldn't tell what he'd done to the ancient TV, but all she knew was that the Wii homepage was up with the sensor sitting on top of the telly.

"Leo, Raph!" She held up the two remotes and tossed them over. They rolled their eyes, but grudgingly checked out the devices, checking which way they wanted to grip them. "Oh, put the straps on, please!" April remembered how she had accidently let one go and hit a friend in the head once. Plus, getting a new TV to go down here wouldn't be easy.

"April, we are ninjas." Leo muttered with a smile, "I wave swords around and Raph uses Sais. What are the odds of us accidently letting go?" Beside him, Raph laughed and flicked the hand holding the remote towards her as a point, yet ironically, the device flew from his hand and sailed towards Splinter. The rat caught it without even blinking, and April turned to Raph, whose face was now almost as red as his bandana.

"I think the chances are getting better every day." April answered smugly, and earned a high three from Mikey and Donnie. Even Splinter chuckled as the two turtles grudgingly put the straps over their wrists.

"Ok, April!" Mikey pointed to her, "First song!" April told Leo – who was, unsurprisingly, player 1 – to scroll through the songs until she found the one she was looking for. "Stop." She told the leader with an evil grin, "That one."

The eldest turtles shared a look and when their eyes turned to one another there was a guilty look. They knew what was coming.

Leo pressed play and both turtles changed their player names, Leo to "Katana" while Raph went for "No. 1"

"I am so gonna make him have to change that name!" Mikey whispered to April and she grinned.

Then the music started, blasting out Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne making Leo and Raph have to point at one another very aggressively, then, much to everyone's but Raph's amusement, Leo had to jam on an invisible guitar while Raph had to swing his arms in a very feminine manner before going back to pointing at each other and this happened three times before they had to swing their arms around pointing at something invisible then act as if they were digging into the ground. With each new move, the two ninjas became more and more serious, each one trying to outdo the other.

This went on for well over three minutes, the best part – without a doubt – being when Leo had to pretend to throw a strop by stomping on the ground while Raph waved happily in the air. It was by this stage Mikey could no longer contain his laughter and almost dropped his T-phone on which he was recording every moment. The song finished as the two dancers finished their catfight and jumped into crossed arms position.

April started a round of applause, and when Leo and Raph turned around, it was good to see them smiling about what they had to do rather than annoyed, although both were a bit red and clearly eager to see who was the best.

"The scores are in! Remember, winner chooses the next song!" Mikey concluded, demanding both remained facing April rather than seeing their final scores, "Leo – wow, good one bro – 7350!" Leo bowed and there was another round of applause, "Raph – drum roll please," the turtles, human and rat all joined in to create the dramatic noise, "7690!" Leo laughed good naturedly despite the small look of disappointment in his eye at being beaten, and clapped Raph on the shell.

"Just goes to show there's a diva in all of us!" Leo winked at Raph who turned an even brighter shade of red, and without a word, Raph took the remote and flicked through the songs, but April could see the triumphant grin on his lips.

"Kay, here you guys go." He and Leo swapped remotes and April looked at what Raph had picked, fearing the worst. In all honesty she had expected music from more up his street and with a hard and boring dance, something like Cosmic Girl, Satisfaction or even Monster Mash but he had chosen another duet, Hot stuff. Donnie had gone red and Raph had an evil smirk upon his face. Ah, so it was a way to embarrass his brother. Well, April thought smugly, she wasn't going to let that happen. April let Donnie be player 1, who changed his name to "Science" while April – as player 2, became "shigatsu."

Donnie frowned for a second, then something clicked and he understood while Splinter nodded at her choice and Leo smiled.

"Nice." He whispered. Both Mikey and Raph's faces said 'I don't get it.' Obviously the Japanese in the family was limited to three members. Leo explained for them. "Months in Japanese are the number of the month, followed by "gatsu" hence April becomes 'shi-gatsu'"

April swelled with pride for being correct. Then the dance started.

April had taken the male role while Donnie was the female, and both of their characters came straight out of the 80s. April soon found herself lost in one of her favourite routines, but when she noticed her score was nearly double Donnie's. Donnie kept lagging behind as he took each move literally and spent too long attempting to get everything correct, so April 'accidently' tripped, getting her several lots of zero points and missing out on a 'gold move' arm spin which Donnie nailed. Soon the points were nearly level. Donnie seemed to grow more confident at this and danced even harder, and from what April could see, he was actually a pretty good dancer now he understood the accurate ways to do the moves.

Once the songs finished, they faced Mikey, allowing the scores to be read out loud. After the overly dramatic drum roll, Mikey announced,

"8670 to Donnie!" earning a cheer and a sarcastic

"Well their dance was easier." From Raph. Ignoring him, Mikey continued,

"And 7980 to April! Donnie gets to choose the last song!" Donnie gave April an apologetic look, but the girl hugged her friend and smiled, pleased he had been able to show Raph was not 'no.1' as previously claimed.

Donnie flicked through the songs, selected Katti Kalandal a Bollywood one which Mikey cheered at and Splinter let out a small smile. The remotes were passed over and the song began. Mikey launched into the routine by balancing on one leg with the awkward hand gestures raised above his head – made even more awkward by only having three fingers and he turned to face Splinter, only to find the rat still sitting.

"The game has not yet started scoring, Michelangelo." He answered simply, then his wrist flicked sideways, indicating that Mikey had missed a move. They were already five steps into the dance. Mikey danced with all his might, hopping up and down, waving his arms wildly, and even copying the little shakes of the waist, yet somehow Mikey was seriously lagging behind Splinter's points who was getting 'perfect' on nearly every move.

Halfway through, Mikey was panting for breath and April stole a look at Splinter and was amazed at wat she saw. The ninja master was still sitting and rather than waste energy on unnecessary arm movements, he was merely flicking his wrist in the way the dancers did which counted as doing the correct move by the sensor. As the song finished, Mikey dropped to the floor panting hard while Splinter turned to April. April grinned.

"Mikey, 5035 points."

A feeble cheer came from the floor.

"Splinter…" April quickly re-read the screen to make sure she had read it correctly. When she spoke, there was awe in her voice "10,540."

A hush fell over the room and Splinter smiled and stood.

"That was quite enjoyable, thank you April. If you need me, I shall be meditating."

The teens all shared a look as Splinter moved towards the dojo.

"Um.. Who feels slightly inadequate as an individual?" Donnie quietly asked.

Everyone raised a hand.

Who would have thought game night would end in such a manner? Maybe it wasn't the greatest idea after all, April thought as the disc ejected out of the Wii machine.

Mikey's voice broke the silence.

"Soo…" he was still slightly out of breath, "Who's up for Mario Kart?"

First request done. Hope that was Ok for you, if not let me know and I can try to make up for it!

Who will be next?! :) :) :)
