2nd chapter!
Nope... I don't own them. Enjoy!
The next morning, the three turtles shared this weird experience.
"Guys, this may sound crazy but something weird happened to me last night, I was having a nightmare and…" Don said.
"Wait, wait, wait. I was having a nightmare last night too!" Mikey interrupted Don.
"What a coincidence, huh?" Raph said.
"Don't tell me you…" Mikey asked in disbelief.
"Believe it or not"
"Well, as I was saying… I was having a nightmare, the most horrible nightmare ever! And then I felt… something…" Don proceeded and then was interrupted by Mikey again.
"On your forehead?" Mikey asked.
"Y-yeah! And then…"
"Tha nightmare was gone?" Raph asked.
"Right! You guys felt the same way?" Don asked in surprise.
"Yeah! I remember I was crying and then I felt that warmth sensation, after that I stopped crying and the nightmare just disappeared!" Mikey said.
"Something like that happened to me. My nightmare was so terrible that I'd dropped the blankets; in the middle of it I felt the blankets covering me again and that weird but soothing warmth" Don established.
"Ok, this is tha twisted thing evah. Seriously! Tha same thing happened to me!" Raph said.
"First I thought it was Klunk, you know the little fella likes to move around when he's sleeping but then I remembered I left him on April's place" Mikey said.
"Morning guys! What's all this chit-chat about?" Leo said as he entered into the kitchen.
"Er… well, we uhmmm…" Don stuttered.
"Y-yeah! We eh… and… you know er…" Mikey also stuttered.
"Seems like you have some speaking problems this morning, huh?" Leo mocked them as he prepared his tea.
Though the blue masked ninja was right on that, the others had their own reasons to be almost speechless. Telling his big brother their last night experience was kinda embarrassing; they all knew Leonardo hardly ever had nightmares and he probably could get worried if they told him they all had sleeping problems last night and the last thing he needed now was to get worried. A couple of days ago, he had been badly injured by a Foot Ninja. He almost died that night because of the blood lost, and now here he was: his big brother with a deep bandaged wound in his chest trying to help his brothers once again, getting worried for them once again, but they really didn't want to disturb him this time. They decided to remain in silence.
"So, anyone wants to tell me what's going on?" Leo asked.
"Uhmmm… what's going on with… what?" Mikey asked innocently.
"Guys, you're acting weird and don't think I haven't noticed it" Leo said seriously.
"Weird? Us? Tch, no way! That's Mikey's line" Raph said teasingly.
"Hey!"
"Hehe, at least you still have the same sense of humor. I was starting to get worried that you were not my real bros" Leo said grinning.
"Oh yeah! We're your brother's evil clones! Mwahahahahaha!" Mikey said making an evil laugh.
"Ok, ok. Now, seriously guys. What you were talking about before I came?"
"We… were er… we were wondering if…" Don said uneasily.
"Yeah?" Leo asked.
"What if… something really weird happens to us, the three of us?"
"What do you mean?" Leo asked again.
"Eh… it's kinda complicated. Let's just say… we're eh…" Don said nervously.
"… fighting against something!" Raph intervened.
"Yeah! Thanks Raph, we're fighting against something!"
"O…k…" Leo said confused.
"And we're losing!" Mikey added.
"Thanks Mikey. And somehow the 'thing' we're fighting against… vanished because of this 'something' and then we're fine! The 'thing' had disappeared and we're ok" Don tried to explain.
"Ok, eh… I think I got it" Leo said.
"Really?" Mikey asked cheerfully.
"Actually… nope. I don't get it" Leo said sighing heavily.
"Good morning, my sons. It is time for your training"
"WE'RE GOING NOW SENSEI!" the three of them yelled in unison running out of the kitchen. If they had turned around, they would have noticed the little smile on Leo's face.
"It's ok guys, you don't need to explain anything" Leo thought giving a sip to his tea "I already know it"
"Good morning, my son. How is your wound?" Splinter asked.
"Getting better, sensei" Leo said smiling.
"It seems that your brothers had no problems with going to train without having their breakfast first"
"Yeah, kinda weird, huh?"
"Leonardo, is it something the matter?"
"No, sensei. Why are you asking me that?"
"I sensed something strange on your brothers, I sensed doubt and fear"
"Last night they didn't sleep so well. But don't worry sensei, they're ok now"
"How do you know it, my son?"
Leo gave another sip to his tea and smiled.
"I just know it, father. I just know it"
