Casey's POV
We then entered the turtle hideout,Raph was training in the do jo, Splinter was eating his famous soup, Donny still in the lab trying to impress April. (but failing) And some guy talking to April and making her laugh... Wait...What... Some guy talking to April!
Leo's POV
As we entered the lair, I first noticed Don was with April trying to make Casey jealous. (and exceeding but not Don that is just April doing all of the making of Casey jealous... not to be hurtful to Don but all he was impressing was his suitcase) Master Splinter was having his delicious healing soup and Raph was in the training hall letting out his anger.
Mikey's POV
Oh-oh, Raph's pretty mad, you can tell by the way he is punching the punching bag I gave him last time...except I don't remember putting a picture of my face on it...
Master Splinter is eating his delicious soup that he calls 'Curing Soup'.
Donny is in the lab doing some lame experiment and April is talking to this weird dude with ear piercing and a silver stud nose ring...how on earth can something so uncomfortable make someone feels so cool.
Casey sprang across the room over to the lab grabbing the blonde haired teen with electric blue eyes and a way big nose stud, by the collar and shoving him to the door.
"Casey!" April said running up behind the extremely jealous boy. "This is the guy I told you on the phone" she said parting the hands of Casey that was choking the poor boy to his death.
Casey pretended not to know he placed his hand on his head "Oh sorry Red, you know me, never in the zone" April held Robert up and looked him in the eyes, "You ok?" she asked. Robert held his throat "Yeah, April" he said with a rasped voice.
"Hey...Robert, I...umm... I'm sorry bro, just saw you and...well..."
"It's ok" Robert interrupted him. April smiled "Leo, Mikey, I'd like you to meet Robert,"
Leo stretched his hands out "Hey, I'm Leo the leader of the gang,"
Raph grumbled and then said "one that got beaten badly by a girl"
"This is Mikey the youngest, and oh that's Casey" he continued ignoring Raph.
Robert returned the handshake, "Very nice to meet you Leo, you too Mikey" he turned to Casey " Pleasure is all mine, even though you tried to almost nearly kill me, No hard feeling" he said.
Casey just watched the guy for a very long time
"Is he ok?" Robert motioned to Leo and said very quietly.
"Oh he's...just...crying on the inside" Leo said giving Mikey a laugh.
"So how come you weren't surprised to see four human like turtles and a human like rat in the sewers?" Leo asked, everyone looked at Robert.
Robert swallowed "Let's just say that, my dad got captured by 'The Purple Dragons' "
"Those guys again" Raph said pounding his fist into his palm "their always looking for trouble" he interrupted him again "and my mom died when I was only two" Robert said which made Casey look up.
"Let's just say since then I changed my name to Robert pretended to want to be part of their gang and am taking them out one by one"
"But how does that explain how you weren't surprised to see human turtles and a rat in the sewers" Casey said looking at Robert with one eyebrow up.
" Oh that, well a few days back I saw April, I was the new kid, I wanted to make friends, at first I felt shy but she showed me around, anyway... we were supposed to be in the park working on this new assignment and stuff but when we got there I saw this thing like a rhino and tiger.
April hadn't seem to think of it as unnatural she told me all about the mutagen and stuff... got me thinking...so I asked her if there were any more...and she said yes, then I met you guys."
"Alright children, It's time to go get some rest" Master Splinter said " April, Casey take our new friend home," "Hai Sensei" April said while the turtles bowed to Master Splinter and left the room.
Robert grabbed April by the hand "This was awesome April, thank you!"
April smiled and Casey said " Let's get going Red"
The three teenagers left the lair.

It was almost morning Leo was up on the couch thinking of the girl he saw. Why was she trying to kill him, he asked himself.
"Leo?" Mikey said walking towards the fridge, "What are you doing up so early"?" he said glancing to the turtle as he held on to the fridge door handle.
Leo turned around, "Still thinking of the girl,huh?" Mikey said pulling the door open. "Yeah," Leo said trying to swap a fly but failing and landing on his shell, so unlike the leader.
"Umm...You're not in love are you?" Mikey said as he stopped playing with Ice cream kitty.
"No!" Leo said getting up with a flash. "Mikey!" he said going over to where the turtle was.
"Why would I like someone of evil who was trying to kill me?" he said but then paused when he realized what he just said.
Mikey glimpsed at his elder brother "Think about it bro" he said. Leo's face turned red, but then let it all out "No Mikey, you think about it" leaving the turtle puzzled he walked out.
"Come to your senses Leo, don't get angry, you don't want to be a Raph, do you?" he said to himself shivering as he pictured himself to be Raph.
"Leo" Casey said putting his hockey stick on the roof and pulling himself up. "Mikey said You were still thinking about the girl." he muttered. Leo gave a sigh "not in that way" he said hiding his face.
"Leo, come on, you can trust me, don't you trust me?" Casey kicked the skateboard across the roof and left it landing on the ground.
"That's what you told me when you asked if I liked Karai, but told April when I agreed," Leo's voice got higher.
"Yeah" Casey said scratching his head and replied "that was all your fault" Leo turned to him,"My fault?" he asked glancing over to Casey.
"Yes yours, you saw me and April talking about you, you heard her ask if I was lying and let out your own secret when she was actually asking if it was for real you fell down in the do jo." Casey said staring him in the eyes.
Leo started blushing then said "But it was your fault, you should have covered me up" he nodded his head to his childish recovery.
"Oh wow Leo" Casey said sarcastically and walked over to where he sat. "Hey why not play a game of 'Donny Imitation' " Casey said (it was his favorite game)
"Hey Leo," a familiar voice was heard from where the turtle and teenager sat.
"Robert?" Leo said leaning over, then looking to where he heard the voice coming from.
"Hey!" he said again, Leo replied "Robert! What you up to?" "Oh nothing" Robert said with a grin"
Casey murmured "What's he doing here?" he said so that Leo could only hear "Did April bring him here?" he said rolling his eyes.
"Oh...Hey Casey" then with a jingle he said "Oh and by the way Merry Christmas."
"What's that?" Leo turned to Casey. "Oh no, today's Christmas" I didn't buy Red anything.
"Huh?" Leo said trying to add it up.
"Well Christmas is where you give gifts and presents and celebrate with friends and family" Casey said with his hands in his head thinking about Red's gift.
"Well i'm off" Robert said below. "Bye!" Casey said smiling and waving to him.
"Yeah me too, I have to buy Red's gift, and you, your brothers and Splinter." Casey told Leo. "Let me come with you Casey" Leo said. Casey turned around slowly "Fine" he said happily.
Leo and Casey went to the nearest store, "Thank heavens, I still have leftover cash from the money I borrowed from April." Casey said breathing relief.
"Now what?" Leo asked.
"Now...we go shopping" Casey said turning to Leo with a mischievous look on his face.
It was late in the evening Leo and Casey were finished wrapping the present.
"Guys where were you?" Robert and April were already in the lair, "Looks like Robert told the whole gang." Leo said walking in happily.
"Leo! we were just about to start the gift exchange bro" Mikey said. Donny then replied "We were waiting on you."
"Guys thank you, but you shouldn't have" Leo said. Raph raised an eyebrow "You sure?" he asked suspicious.
"Positive" he replied crossing his fingers behind his back and then started to chuckle with Casey.
"Alright everyone, gift exchange begins!" Robert said at the other side. "Yes!" Mikey screamed and shouted "Me first!"
They all sat around the table and Mikey picked up all his gift in a red bag and placed a beard made out of cotton on his face.
He sat down and called "Raph" and then said "Here you go bro" after a few more names being called he was done.
Leo got a collection of the rarest comic books, Raph got a Santa Clause wishing machine, Donny got a lab coat, Master Splinter got a pound of cheese, April got a red dress, Casey got one of the best hockey sticks in the world and Robert got a cup.
After a while it was Leo's turn, Leo gave Donny a brand new case, Mikey got his very own kitty sweater with 'I Love Kitty' written on it, Raph got a punching bag(since the other one ripped), Master Splinter got a brand new stick, Casey got a cool head band along with Robert, and April got a pair of weapon boots.
Raph was next he got Mikey a paper with 'no beating for a whole week guarantee' on it, Donny got a 'no teasing for a whole week', Leo got a actual gift, it was a new sword holder, April got a watch, Robert got a smaller nose stud, Master Splinter got a very original bowl made from a Chinese master of Kong Fu and Casey got a brand new bike(very surprising)
Donny gave everyone a legendary donny t-shirt, when it was his turn.
April gave everyone a picture of her in a frame, which Donny carried to his room quickly and carefully as though holding a baby.
Casey got Leo this Amazing CD collection and Raph got a really large sack of old but valuable books, Mikey got a brand new skateboard, April got the pair of earrings she liked so much, Robert got a rock and Donny got fake front teeth.
It was finally Robert's turn, he got Casey a cute light up sneakers, April got the same pair of earrings(except it was real pearl), Don got this Battery that can power anything, Leo got a swell poster collection of his favorite master in China, Master Splinter had a blind fold,(that he could use to teach his students the technique of listening which Leo had already mastered) Raph got a hoop and basket ball and Mikey got a car set.
"Ok guys it's almost the end of Christmas," Robert said, everyone began to pack their stuff up. "Man, but I don't want it to be the end of Christmas!" Mikey said making a big scene.
April laughed so hard she nearly fell and Robert caught her. Casey and Donny's face got red, you could have seen the jealousy in their eyes.
"You okay?" Robert asked April. April held her head "Yeah,thank goodness you were there Robert or I would have fall"
Casey's POV
So what if she had fallen, why does she have to be so dramatic. Casey Jones can't put up with this, two can play it this game.
