Halfway through the movie, Mikey twitched and announced that he was a fifteen year old again. Leo and Raph twitched also. Leo crawled out from under the blanket and sat down on the couch to continue watching the movie. Raph just got out of Hannah's lap and sat next to her, the snuggie still over the two. April looked down at Don and smiled.
"You still okay on my lap?" She asked. Don looked up and blushed a little.
"Yeah." Don answered quietly so his brothers wouldn't hear. She smiled and hugged him like a teddy bear. He let out an oof and grinned up at her. After the movie ended, Holly looked at the time on her phone.
"Hannah and I have to go." She said, pulling the blanket back. Mikey wrapped it around him and walked up to her.
"Why can't you stay?" He asked innocently. Holly bent down.
"You're still fifteen right?" She asked, not really knowing by the way he was talking.
"Yeah, duh." He answered raising an eyebrow ridge. She smiled.
"Well then, we have school tomorrow, weirdo." She answered. He hugged her, looking up and smiling.
"See you tomorrow den," He said. She wrapped her arms around his tiny body. He gave her a little kiss on the cheek. She smiled and stood back up.
"Bye." Raph said, his arms wrapped around Hannah's neck. She patted his shell and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Bye. Hopefully tomorrow, you'll be fifteen again and I can give you a real kiss." She said. He kissed her cheek before she stood. Leo waved a to them.
"Bye guys!" Holly said as her and Hannah turned to leave. After they were out of sight, the four little turtles looked up at April.
"Time for bed." April said, rubbing her hands together. Mikey and Raph groaned.
"Is only yike 8:30!" Mikey wined over dramaticly. Don held the bunny by its paw and it dragged along the ground.
"I'm tired honestly." He said, rubbing his eyes with his other hand.
"Me too." Leo said, yawning and stretching. Seeing Leo yawn made Mikey yawn, which made Don yawn, which made Raph do the same.
"Now are you ready?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips. They all slowly nodded. Leo, Raph, and Mikey all staggered to their rooms, closing their doors behind them.
"Can I work on turning us back fow a little bit?" Don asked, looking up at April.
"How about tomorrow, you look pretty tired." She answered.
"I may not wemember tomorrow." Don said, crossing his arms while still holding the bunny's paw.
"Donnie," April said.
"I just need some coffee to keep me awake." He said, pointing in the direction of the kitchen.
"You're only four. You shouldn't drink coffee." She nagged. Don stopped for a moment to think.
"If you let me work, I won't be four." He finally said. She sighed.
"How much sugar?" She asked with a sigh. He cheered and darted to his lab.
"I dwink it bwack!" He yelled from his lab. She rolled her eyes and started the coffee pot.
Don climbed up into his chair and adjusted his bunny on his desk. Even though he was in his fifteen year old mindset, he still cared for the tattered old thing. Once he let go of it, its head drooped down. He grinned at it and pulled his laptop from his bag. He groaned when he remembered that Leo stabbed it. April walked in and sat his coffee down on his desk.
"A sippy cup? Weally?" Don asked, with a mix of embarrasment and annoyed. She shrugged.
"Would you rather go to bed?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips. Don groaned a little.
"Well, anyway, do you have your laptop?" Don asked, picking up the cup and taking a small sip.
"Yeah, why?" She said, going into the TV room to get it.
"While Mikey and I were fighting 'eo after he went crazy, he stabbed mine and I'd rather fix it when I'm fifteen." Don answered, opening it up and turning it on, "What's your password?" April blushed a little, her password was 'iheartdonnieboy'. She just picked it up and typed it in quickly, "Uh, thanks?" Don said after she sat it back down.
"Just hurry up and make yourself fifteen you nerd." She said, bending down and giving him a peck on the cheek. He smiled at her and watched her leave. Don shook his head and went to the laptop, struggling to type with his tiny hands that were hard to type with in the first place.
April sat down onto the couch and wrapped a blanket around herself. She picked up the remote and watched some TV, slowly falling asleep.
Donnie finished the coffee within two minutes and kept picking it up, hoping that it'd be full again. He picked up the plastic cup and slid out of his chair, staggering tiredly into the TV room.
"Hey April, can I get some mow coff-" He said, seeing her curled up on the couch sleeping. He grinned and walked past her to the kitchen. He stuck his tongue out as he dragged a chair over to stand on. Don jumped up into the chair and leaned over the counter to reach the coffee pot. He grabbed the handle and attempted to lift it over. It was heavier then he remembered it to be so he gave up. He jumped down and put the chair back. He wasn't going to be able to stay up without coffee so he walked into the TV room with April.
Don slid under the covers with her and fell fast asleep.
April slowly opened her eyes. She saw the tiny form of Donnie next to her and smiled, "Good morning Donnie." She said, shaking him a little. His eyes fluttered open and he saw her. He smiled a little then looked around.
"Whew's my bunny?" He asked shyly. Her smile faded, seeing that he was four again. She got out from under the blanket and walked into his lab, picking it up and bringing it to him.
"Here you go." She said. He grabbed it and held it tight against his chest.
"Fank you." He said, his voice muffled because of his face in the bunny's fur. She smiled and walked towards the others' bedrooms, "Whew aw you goin'?" Don asked, looking over at her. She just smiled.
"I'm just going to wake up the others. I'll be right back." She said before disappearing into Mikey's room. The covers were on the floor and he was sprawled out on the bed. She shook her head at him and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Mikey, wake up." She whispered, shaking him a little. He snorted and sat up.
"A-april?" He asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Um, how old are you." She asked, knowing it'd probably be four.
"Fifteen. Geez, how many times to I have to answer this?" He said, jumping down annd picking up his orange mask, "But I stiw need you to tie dis." He handed the mask over and turned around. April just tied it.
"Uh, c-come on, let's get Raph and Leo." She said, leading him to their rooms.
"Why aw you askin' wha age I am again?" Mikey asked, looking up at her.
"Well, Don's four at the moment." She answered, opening the door to Leo's room.
"Weally?" Mikey exclaimed, dashing away to the TV room. April walked over to Leo's bed and put a hand on his tiny shoulder.
"Leo, wake up." She said quietly.
"Apriw?" He asked, squinting at her.
"Hey Leo, good morning." She said. He stretched and sat up, "How old are you?"
"Fow. Can you tie my mask pweez?" He asked, getting down and handing her his mask. She nodded and tied it.
"Um, go into the TV room with Donnie and Mikey while I get Raph up." She said, nodding towards the door.
"I wanna help wake Waph up." Leo said
"No," She sternly said. He frowned and walked down the hallway to the TV room. She shook her head and slowly opened the door to Raph's room. Raph lay on his plastron with one arm hanging off the hammock. No knowing if he was fifteen or four, she bent down and gently put her hand on his shoulder.
"Wake up, Raph," She whispered. He opened his eyes a little and turned over.
"I don't wanna get up." He mumbled.
"I just need to know if you're fifteen or four." She said, standing up.
"Fifteen, now go away." He answered. She nodded and slowly left the room, quietly closing the door.
"April, uh, Don and 'eo aw fow." Mikey pointed out. April sat down on the couch next to them.
"I know." She said as Don got into her lap and stuck his thumb in his mouth.
"Why aw dey yike dis and not me?" Mikey asked. April shrugged.
"Raph's fifteen too." She said, Why did the sane brothers have to four right now? She wondered.
"I'm hungry." Leo said, walking over to April. She stood up, adjusted Don on her hip and started towards the kitchen. Leo ran over and grabbed her hand. Mikey walked behind them and started laughing. April looked back and shot him a glance. He nodded and kept his laughs to himself.
"What do you guys want?" She asked once everyone was settled at the table.
"French toast sticks!" Mikey exclaimed. Leo nodded in agreement.
"That okay with you Don?" April asked him. He shyly nodded. She turned around and went to fixing ome french toast. Leo stared at Mikey with a weird look.
"What?" Mikey asked after a little bit.
"You seem... different." Leo said, cocking his head to the side.
"Dat's cuz I'm fifteen." Mikey said with a grin.
"Nuh uh." Leo objected. Mikey crossed his arms.
"Uh huh!" He said.
"Pwove it!"
"Uh, I'm smarter den you!" Mikey said.
"How?"
"I can read!"
"Oh yeah, den what does dat say?" Leo asked, pointing to an old pizza box.
"Pizza." Mikey said.
"How do I know dat you'w not lying?" Leo asked. Mikey grit his teeth.
"Cuz it says pizza." Don said quietly.
"You can read too?" Leo asked, looking over at him.
"Apriw teached me." Don answered, staring at his bunny.
"It's taught Donnie." April said, sitting down a plate of two slices of french toast and cutting them up, "Syrup of powdered sugar?"
"Syrup pweez." Don said, watching her pour half the bottle over his food. He smiled up at her and grabbed his fork, taking a surprisingly big bite for such a little kid. She nodded and placed a plate in front of Mikey.
"Powder sugar." He said. She handed it to him and he poured it over his breakfast.
"Syrup of powdered sugar, Leo?" She asked, walking over to him.
"Powder sugar." He said. She nodded and poured some on his plate, "How come Mikey got to do it on his own?"
"Just, because." She answered, sitting down with her own food.
"Hmph." Leo said, taking a bite. Raph came staggering in.
"Morning sunshine." Mikey said with his mouth full.
"Yeah yeah. What's for breakfast?" Raph asked, climbing into his chair.
"French toast." April said, taking another bite.
"Can I just have cereal?" He asked, laying his head on the table. April nodded and stood up, quickly pouring him some cereal. She sat it down in front of him and handed him a spoon, "Fanks." He said, scooping out a giant spoonful. He looked around at everyone at the table. He spotted Leo with powder sugar all over him and almost did a spit take. Raph swallowed and started laughing.
"Raphael." April said sternly, shooting him a glance. He nodded with a giant grin and tried his best to keep quiet. Leo looked around cluelessly. April stood up and cleaned Leo's face and some of his plastron, Raph poorly stifling his laughs. She picked up everyone's plates and dumped them in the sink. Raph quickly finished his cereal and handed the bowl over to her.
"So 'eo and Don aw fow and Mikey and I aw fifteen." Raph clarified once tey were all making their way into the TV room. April nodded, sitting Don down on the couch.
"Yup." April said. Leo went over to the TV and turned it on. Space Heroes came on of course.
"Come on Leo! I don't wanna watch dat stupid show!" Raph exclaimed.
"You know a yot 'bout stupid, don't you Waph." Leo said, not turning around. Raph clenched his fists. Even for a four year old, Leo had some good comebacks. April grabbed Raph by the shell before he could get to Leo.
"He's only four Raph." She said. He stopped and turned around. With a huff, he climbed onto the couch and laid down, picking up one of his comic books.
"Waph can read too?!" Leo asked, turning around and pointing to him. April rolled her eyes. Leo turned back around and crossed his arms as he watched TV.
