Best Christmas Ever! Chapter 2 Leonardo
I kept my promise though. One review still makes me happy. I actually didn't expect any.
Few details that Mikey missed will be in every chapter.
Leo's POV
Mediation on Christmas morning. Typical. But it is my daily schedule. I hear a lot of fuss in the living room, and I really want to join my brothers, but I try my best to concentrate on the mediation with Master Splinter. I close my eyes tighter and try to blank my mind but I hear my Master's voice. "Leonardo." I open my eyes and looked up. "Hai, sensei." I replied. "Is something wrong? You don't seem to be concentrating on your meditation." I look down at the floor, not knowing what to say. I took a deep breath and start talking. "It's just that, um. Its Christmas morning, the first one we are having after we went out to the surface. And it just seems much more special than the other Christmases. And perhaps my mind wants to skip meditating and join my brothers." I look down. I may have disappointed him. "Then go ahead." I look up at him. "Pardon?" "You can join your brothers, decorating the lair. Just try not to break anything." I smiled and say, "Hai sensei!" then go to the living room to join my brothers.
I go out and see Raph hanging mistletoe on the top of the entrance. "What's that for?" Mikey asks. Raph smirks and replies "For Donnie and April." I spot Donnie's face getting redder and redder every second. "It will be a perfect present for Donnie if it works." I say. They all turn my way. Donnie frowns this time. "Donnie is so lucky to have a girlfriend on his Christmas day." Mikey says sitting next to Donnie and batting his eye lashes. Donnie smacks Mikey's head and crosses his arms. "Aww, it will be so cute when April actually does it." Raph cooed and Donnie gets up and starts to chase both Raph and Mikey. I'm just sitting at the couch telling Raph to run faster and teasing Donnie, who just started to come for me. I stand up and follow what Raph and Mikey's doing right now, teasing and running.
By the time we finished decorating the lair, it looks wonderful! The tree, decorations, and smiling brothers, well maybe except for Raph. But even Raph looked happy, just slightly though. Just then, April came in with bunch of shopping bags in her hands. "Merry Christmas April!" Donnie stands up and greets her. "Feliz Navidad!" She giggles. "Dude, what does that mean?" Mikey leans over and asks me. I don't know what it means, so I just shrug. "It means 'Merry Christmas' in Spanish." Says Donnie, holding up his index finger. "Hey, you are standing under the mistletoe, April!" I look up and do saw April right under the mistletoe and the closest one to her was Donnie. Donnie looks away and April giggles. "Funny." She says as she sits on the sofa. "Damn it." I heard Raph's whisper and I agree in my head.
April puts down her shopping bag and started to dig up the boxes. She also took out a box, which contains cake in it. "Cake!" Mikey shouted as he reached for the box, but just as he was about to grab it Donnie took it, causing Mikey to fall on his face. "No Mikey, we are all going to share it." Mikey growls and headed back to his seat. Then April hands him his present box. "Now , I bought presents for all of you." She smiled. Mikey literally ripped it open and took out a cook book, entitled, Dessert Master. "A cook book?" He asks. I am sure that he wanted something else than that. "For desserts! Don't you like it?" April asks. Mikey opened the cover of the book and examines it. His face brightens and say, "I love it! Thanks, April!" Mikey say, hugging her. And I swear that Donnie's glare at Mikey was worse than Raph's. "What's this?" I look behind to see Raph holding red boxing gloves. "To make sure that you don't break your hand. You punch walls often as much as you do with sand bags." April says as she hands Donnie his purple present box. "Geez, thanks." Raph says, and I'm pretty sure he didn't meant that.
Donnie ripped his box gently and pulled out a thick book. "Principia?" He say. "It's short for, umm, let's see," she takes out a post-it and read what was written on it, "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, meaning Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. Pheew, that was long." She says tossing the note on the top of the Mikey's ripped wrapping papers. "Thanks April. I really like it." Donnie says with happy look on his face. Then he hugs her slightly. "Aww." Mikey exclaimed and Donnie gives him another glare. Raph and I try not to laugh. I opened my box, wrapped in blue paper with white polka dots and red ribbon. I opened it and find Captain Ryan Action Figure that I always wanted. "Gosh, April. I don't know what to say." I say. "You don't have to say anything. I know how you feel like." April says. Then Donnie pulled out a box from behind the sofa then handed it to April. "Here, this is yours." He tries not to blush but he isn't good at it. April doesn't hide her emotion of happiness and opened it right away. It was a metal USB with 'April' engraved on it in cursive. April wipes her eye and hugs Donnie.
"Now can we eat cake?" Mikey asks Donnie with his infamous puppy dog eyes. "Wait, we haven't given Master Splinter, his present yet." "I'll get him." I stand up and went to the dojo. "Master Splinter? We got Christmas gift for you. You should come out." I say as he stands up from his meditation and reached outside. As we go back to the living room April cried 'Merry Christmas!' to Master as she hands him a huge box, which was slightly open. I glance at the box and I am sure it is a portrait. "Why, thank you, April. I'll open this later." Master says. April isn't seems to be hurt by his words. "I'm sure you will like it."
April sits down by me as Master Splinter goes to the kitchen with his share of cake. April hands out the cake and Mikey makes sure that he gets the biggest piece. "Hey April, another mistletoe!" Mikey pointed above her and she is under the mistletoe. I am sure it was Donnie who is the nearest to her, but it was me. I noticed that Don was about to faint so I stand up, goes to Don, grab his arm and then drag him next to April. I shove him into the sofa and sat next to Raph, who is trying not to laugh along with Mikey. April looks at us and we all gestured her to kiss him and she does! Well, she at least does on his cheek but that was good enough to cause him to pass out. Everyone laughs except for fainted Donnie. This sure is the best Christmas I've ever had. And I'm pretty sure there will be more like this in future.
