Sorry I haven't updated lately, I've got a bit of a writer's block going on with this one. I think I had an idea at some point, but, being me, I forgot it :D
I'm gonna try something anyway, so…
Rainie was sitting to the edge with Mikey. They shared a big bowl of sweet popcorn between them, watching as their brothers took on Violet.
Violet was a fighter- she kicked her brothers' butts all the time at home.
"Mikey?" Mikey looked at his little sister, chewing on a mouthful of popcorn. Rainie looked uncertain. "You... erm, don't mind me not being like her, do you?" Mikey shook his head, desperately trying to swallow his mouthful. Rainie giggled nervously as Mikey pulled a face.
When he finally finished his mouthful, he said, "Rainie, if I had a little sister that kicked my butt twenty-four seven, I'd go mad."
"You're already mad." Rainie muttered. Mikey crossed his eyes and stuck his tongue out, making her giggle again. He grinned cheekily.
"Why? Ya jealous or something?"
"No." Rainie said quickly. Mikey gave her that big brother knowing look.
"Hmm…" Rainie smiled sweetly, distracting her brother. She instantly stole the bowl of popcorn and jumped away, moving away. "Rainie, give it back." Mikey got up and ended up chasing Rainie out of the room.
While Mikey was trying to find his sister, his brothers were thinking how to test Violet's skills.
Raph, being Raph, lunged forward, going for frontal assault rather than a planned tactic. He went to solidly punch Violet in the stomach, but she easily grabbed his wrist, twisted around him, bending his arm backwards.
Don snuck up behind Violet and managed to get her in a headlock, freeing Raph in the process. Violet struggled against Donnie for a short while, before hooking her foot behind his and flipping him over her shoulder.
Leo hadn't attacked yet. He wasn't planning to anytime soon. He just wanted to get a base line on Violet's ninjutsu skills.
Master Splinter came in at some point, moving to stand next to his eldest son.
"How is it going, Leonardo?"
"Pretty good, Sensei. She fights kinda like one of us." Master Splinter did not reply, but watched as Violet ducked a swing from Raph and knocked him off his feet with a Judo sweep.
Giggling reached Master Splinter's keen hearing. He and Leonardo looked round as Mikey walked in carrying Rainie in a fireman's lift. He had a few popcorn crumbs on his shoulders.
"Mikey, what happened?"
"Bit of a popcorn fight. Rainie started it."
"I hope you have cleared up the mess, my children." Rainie struggled against Mikey, wanting to get down. Mikey shifted his hold on her and she stopped fighting him and started laughing softly.
"We got most of it, Sensei. Rainie was trying to get my comics again."
"I wanted to read them!"
"Look at the pictures, more like."
"They are nice. Can I get down now?"
"Nope." Mikey said simply. "Actually, you can go to big brother Leo. I'm sure he'd love to have you." Mikey's eyes twinkled cheekily as he passed his hyper sister to his older brother.
"Thanks Mikey. A Rainie on a sugar rush. Just what I wanted." Mikey grinned cheekily and turned to watch the fight.
"Oh shell, I ain't got popcorn. It's all your fault, dudette." Rainie poked her tongue out and blew a raspberry at him. Mikey copied before leaving to fetch more popcorn.
Violet sidestepped Raph, dodging his imprisoning hold. She was aiming to tire these two, but she wasn't sure how long that was going to take.
"I wanna a go!"
"Rainie, you don't fight. Hey, get off!" Leo started laughing. Violet managed to sneak a peek, noticing Rainie had twisted around and was tickling Leo's nose with a feather. "Rainie, you're going to make me sneeze!" Rainie laughed wickedly, humour deep in her innocent eyes.
Violet turned her head in time to block a punch from Raph. She drew her Sais and advanced. Raph mimicked. They circled each other for a short while before Violet lunged. Raph met her head on, their weapons clashing. They struggled against each other for a short while. Violet kicked out and Raph staggered back.
Leo set Rainie down, who sat giggling at his feet. Curse Mikey and giving her sugar.
Raph regained his balance, his temper sparking. Don backed up wisely, whistling sweetly. Rainie tackled him the second he had come to a halt next to Leo.
Mikey returned in time to see Raph charging Violet, his Sais silver blurs as they spun threateningly in his hands. Violet stood her ground until the last second. Raph slashed at her head. Violet retaliated by smacking the hilt of her right Sai into his gut. While he doubled up, winded, Violet slashed at his head with both blades.
"Raph!" Rainie cried. Violet sheathed her Sais and folded her arms. Raph's mask fell to the floor in tatters. He glared at Violet, but before he could do anything, Rainie ran towards him. She wasn't scared of his temper. He never got angry at her.
Raph looked down at Rainie. "Calm down!" She ordered, ignoring the slight hint of desperation in her tone. Raph struggled against his temper, naturally wanting to get one back on Violet. But he couldn't draw himself away from Rainie's pleading eyes.
Raph sighed, relaxing his shoulders. Rainie beamed proudly at him. Raph managed a small smile.
