Ch 6 Pizza Pancakes

A/N

Hello everyone! It's been awhile! So the beginning of this chapter has the ending from ch3 underlined because it's been two chapters and it starts up immediately after. Sorry if it's confusing! Also, thank you yukio87 for reviewing! I hope you like this chapter, and please review!

There are only 24 words. 24 words that answer a thousand question, but adds a million more.

I'm sorry, but I have to do this. Please, don't follow me, you will be safe. I love you my brothers, sisters, and father.

We each read the note and head home in silence to tell Master Splinter and come up with a plan.

Mikey POV

I feel the cool wind against my skin as we jump from building to building in silence. I don't know what to do, what to say to lighten the mood to make my brothers happy, but even I can't make a joke right now.

Finally, we reach the lair and instead of running to the freezer and playing with ice cream kitty, or racing to the couch to get the remote so I can pick, we sulk into the dojo.

Master Splinter is meditating peacefully. I see his eye crack open when he hears us enter. When he sees our defeated and confused expressions, his face falls.

" My son's" Master Splinter says hesitantly afraid to hear our news " What is the matter?"

I look over at Donnie and Raph who's eye's are stuck to the floor. Finally, when the silence is almost unbearable, Donnie hands Master Splinter Leo's mask.

Master Splinter gasps and his eyes widen and fill with tears.

" It's a message" Raph says angrily. Master Splinter carefully looks at Leo's mask and reads the message.

" Hmm" Master Splinter says. " Leonardo is alright for now, but he is in danger".

" Hai, Sensei" Donnie says defeated, " What should we do, we don't know where he is, or how to help him, or what kind of danger he is in, or what he is protecting us from"

" I know my son, the message does not shed light on anything" Master Splinter said.

" Do you know where we can look for him" Raph asks hoping our father has nformation on where Leo is.

" I do not know where he is, but I would assume it has something to do with the Shredder. My son's, whatever is going on, it is very dangerous. You must be more diligent than you ever have been before. Tonight, you rest. Tomorrow, we resume training. You will go on patrol tomorrow, like normal. I think that where the trouble is will lead you closer to your brother." Master Splinter said.

" Hai, sensei" We said in union. We will look for trouble, because Leo will be there.

I went into the kitchen to make some dinner, pancakes. And not just any pancakes, pancakes with bits of pepperoni and cheese mixed in it. Man, Leo will be so disappointed that he missed this! Oh well, it will be a great welcome home treat to make him when he gets back home. I'm worried about my brother, but Leo wouldn't want me to worry. He made me promise to remain cheerful, like I made him promise to remain brave no matter what. It will be hard, but thinking of Leo being back here soon is all I need to hum a song. Leo will come back, I just know it.

I take out Ice cream Kitty and put her on the counter as I begin to chop up the pepperoni.

" Michelangelo" Master Splinter says, looking at me quizzically " What are you doing?"

" Practicing making pizza pancakes for when Leo comes back" I say as I smile a little.

" Pizza pancakes?" Master Splinter asks looking into the pan to examine my creation.

" Yup" I say smiling.

" What's that smell?" Donnie asks looking toward the pan trying to figure out what I am making, and to determine if it's dangerous.

" I'm practicing making my new creation, pizza pancakes, so that when we find Leo and bring him home we can celebrate" I say smiling at my older brother.

" Ok, I'll go get Raph" Donnie says, " And give Ice Cream Kitty an ice pack or something, she's melting nex to the stove"

Shell! I scramble for an ice pack to give Ice Cream Kitty. Leo always has to tell me how to take care of Ice Cream Kitty, and now Donnie has to too.

" Sorry Ice Cream Kitty" I say laughing nervously. I start to smell something burning. What could it possibly be?

" Ahh! Pancakes" I yelp scurrying back to find a burnt pancake.

" No!" I say throwing my hands in the air " You would have been so delicious"

" What are you going on about again" Raph asks giving me the look of here we go again.

" My pizza pancake is burt" I complain earning me an eye roll.

" Whatever" Raph says " I can't believe you are still as hyper as before" Raph says to himself.

" Leo's going to be ok" I say, and I am positive. I see my older brothers glance at each other.

" Whatever you say Mikey" Donnie says, with a slight smile coming back onto his face. I'm ecstatic to see that I helped get a smile out of my brother, even if it is small.

A/N Hello! Next chapter will be back to Leo's POV and you'll find who the voice belongs to! Please review!
