##################################################################################
Naomi stretched the next morning, yawning as she walked out of her room. It was six in the morning; her favorite time.
She cracked open some eggs, fried some bacon and sausage, and fixed up her famous blueberry-and-cinnamon waffles.
The aroma of bacon of sausage filled the room and soon five mutants drifted in, following the heavenly scent.
"I smell waffles!" Mikey yelled, running into the kitchen.
Naomi smiled and fixed them all a plate. She fixed Leo and Master Splinter some hot tea, orange juice for Mikey, apple juice for Don, and grape juice for Raph.
"Come and get it!" she called. They each grabbed their food and disappeared, going off to various places to eat. Master Splinter and Leo both went to their separate rooms, Mikey plopped in front of the T.V., Don went to his lab, and Raph disappeared off to the Dojo. Naomi sighed, shook her head, and fixed her own plate. She sat down at the kitchen table and ate in silence.
"Men."
**************************************************
The rest of the day was spent training and goofing off. Mikey played video games, Raph went somewhere with Casey, Don worked on modifying the Battle Shell, and Naomi and Leo sparred.
"That all you got, Leo?" Naomi panted an they locked katanas.
"'Course not. You've been here long enough to know that." Leo said. Neither one could move.
"Could you guys keep it down? I'm almost to level twenty-six!" Mikey whined.
Leo managed to disarm Naomi, her sword flying out of her hands. It landed right behind the couch.
Naomi backflipped, kicked Leo in the chest with a roundhouse, and cartwheeled over to her katana. She picked it up and blocked Leo as he brought his down on her.
She forced him back and did a handspring to gain some distance. She closed her eyes, blinding herself and sharpening her other senses.
There!
She stepped back and to the left, brought her sword up, and was rewarded with the clang of metal striking metal. She lashed out with a snap punch and leaped backwards before leo could retaliate.
She opened her eyes in time to see Leo deliver a sound side kick to her chest. She flew backwards with a yelp, crashed into the couch, and got to her feet again after a minute.
"You know, Leo, I was gonna take it easy on ya. But not anymore." she said, springing forward with her katana raised.
Clang! The metal rang as it struck, jarring Naomi slightly.
"Guys!" Mikey whined, turning the volume up.
"You two have been at it since lunch." Don said, coming out of his lab.
"What time is it?" Naomi asked.
"Almost six."
"O.K... wait, what?! No!!" Naomi said, dashing to the kitchen. "Why didn't anyone tell me it was so late?" She ran to the kitchen where a timer was beeping frantically. The smell of something burning reached her nostrils and she snapped the oven off. She grabbed the now-charred chicken out of the oven and stared at the coal-black skin. She screamed in frustration jabbed a caring knife into the burnt meat. She slammed the heat off on the stove and looked at the sad pile of rubbery vegetables and mashed potatoes and gravy. "I spent a freakin' hour on the chicken!" she growled.
"Whoa." Leo said, staring at the ruined dinner.
"Dinner's ruined!" Naomi cried, poking at the hardened mashed potatoes and burnt gravy.
"What's with the fancy dinner?" Mikey asked. "House guests? Wait, don't tell me... Whose birthday is it?"
"I've been telling you for weeks now! Today's the anniversary of the day Master Splinter found you guys! I wanted it to be special, but now dinner is ruined, Raph's not even here, Casey and April are supposed to be here in fifteen minutes, the Lair isn't even remotely ready, and Angel still hasn't gotten here with the surprise." Naomi ranted, running her claws through her fur.
"Nay, calm down." Donnie said, joining everyone in the kitchen. "Everything's gonna be O.K."
"Np it isn't! There's not enough time to make another chicken, we don't have enough milk for mashed potatoes, and I used the last of the vegetables."
Klunk jumped up on the table at that moment, sniffed the blackened chicken, turned up his nose, and sauntered off.
Naomi's eyes flattened low to her head and she took a deep breath. Determination flowed through her and she started to issue orders.
"Mikey, lock Klunk in your room for now and help me in the kitchen. Donnie, make sure Master Splinter has no idea what's going on. Leo, I need you to decorate the Lair. I'll trust your judgment on this one. Here's some money if you need decorations. Does anyone know where Raph is?"
"Right here, Nomi. Bonehead here got us lost somehow." Raph said as he walked in. Casey, April, and Angel were all behind him.
"Angel, thank goodness! Thank you sooo much for making this for me. You have no idea how crazy it's been. Mikey, could you run to the store really quick and grab me a chicken? And some milk and veggies?"
"You got it Mis (Mees)." Mikey said, running off.
"Casey, you help Leo with the Lair. Angel, see if you can't help Don keep Master Splinter busy. April, you're with me and Mike."
"What'd ya want me to do, Nay?" Raph asked.
"Raph, see if you can set the table, please. Use the good plates, but don't break them."
"On it."
They each set off to do their assigned tasks. Mikey got back with the chicken and other groceries, and April got started started on chopping the vegetables. Naomi put Mikey on making the mashed potatoes and grav, while Naomi speed-cooked the chicken. Finally, everything was ready.
The table was set, the Lair looked great, and everyone looked presentable. All that was left to do was to present it to Master Splinter.
"Everybody ready?" Naomi asked.
"Yep."
"Here we go. Don, Angel. You're on." Naomi said in her Cell Shell.
"Roger that."
Everyone waited, crouched in their hiding spots, for the three to appear. Finally, three shapes entered the darkened room and the lights were flicked on.
"Surprise!" everyone yelled, humping out. Naomi grinned at the sight of her faintly amused Master.
"What is all this?" Splinter asked.
"It's a surprise party, Sensei." Naomi said. "Today is the anniversary of the day you found your sons. I wanted it to be special, so I threw together a surprise party for you."
"The Lair looks great!" April said, looking around.
"Yeah! Now where's the food? I'm starvin' here!" Casey said.
Naomi smiled and shook her head. "Come on." she said.
They all sat down at the huge table. Mikey released Klunk from his room and Klunk made his way to his food bowl. Naomi had put the guts from the chicken in his bowl.
Naomi cut into the chicken and everyone watched the juices pour out of it. It was moist, hot, and delicious.
"And I thought your waffles were good, Nomi!" Mikey exclaimed when he bit into the chicken.
Naomi grinned and watched as everyone ate. She finished her own plate and everyone else finished up.
The dishes were put in the sink and Naomi started the water to wash them.
"You've done enough, Nay. We'll get the dishes." Don said, grabbing a sponge. Leo got a towel to dry everything with.
"You guys don't have to." Naomi said, trying to continue washing.
"Go on, Nay. We'll handle it." Leo said.
Naomi sighed. "Alright, fine..." she said. She went to the living room and sat on the couch next to Mikey.
"Get kicked out?"
"Yep."
***********************************************
Dessert was eaten and Casey, April, and Angel went home. The turtles and Naomi said their good-nights, went to their rooms, and fell asleep for two hours. None of them needed much sleep, and they had patrol duty later that night.
It was a routine sweep of the city. Raph was on his Shell Cycle, Don was taking the improved Battle Shell out for a test run, and the other three were on the rooftops.
Naomi was ahead of everyone else. She flipped to another roof, showing off. She landed on her feet and came face-to-gauntlet with none other than the Shredder.
