Chapter 48
Later that day Leo still didn't feel all that great so he decided to try and meditate thinking that it would help ease his unsettling stomach. As he tried clearing his mind he heard someone walk into the dojo and sit down right in front of him.
The voice said, " Leo?" Leo opened his eyes and was surprised to see his brother Donny sitting in front of him.
Leo says, " Donny? What are you doing in here?"
Donny says, " I'm just checking on you to see if you're ok."
Leo says, " Yeah I'm fine Donny but I'm still not feeling all that great. So I thought I'd meditate."
Donny says, " Well maybe it would help if you took a nap. You look exhausted Leo." Leo just stared at his brother as if he said something crazy.
Leo says, " Donny I'm not two years old. I'm 15."
Donny says, " I know that Leo but your body needs to get rid of that radiation. It's not good for you. That's what's making you sick."
Leo says, " Donny this is insane."
Donny says, " Leo you're never going to get any better if you don't get any rest." Just then Makayla walked in and said, " What's going on in here Donny?"
Donny says, " I'm trying to tell Leo to go take a nap Makayla." Makayla looked at Leo for a second and said, " Bro go get some rest. You look exhausted."
Leo says, " I'm fine Makayla!"
Donny says, " Leo what did I tell you? Your body needs to get rid of the radiation. If you don't get rid of it, it's just going to keep making you sick."
Leo says, " Well I wouldn't have gotten sick in the first place if those stupid Purple Dragons hadn't handcuffed me to a cell tower!"
Donny says, " Not to mention you hit your face against an antenna Leo."
Leo sarcastically says, " Yeah thank you Donny!"
Makayla says, " Just go take a nap Leo!"
Leo says, " I don't need it Makayla!" Master Splinter walked out of his room and said, " Leonardo don't argue with your brother and your sister! Go do what they said!" Leo begrudgingly complied and walked upstairs to his room. Morgan showed up at the lair moments later.
Morgan says, " Hey Makayla."
Makayla says, " Hey Morgan what's up?"
Morgan says, " Nothing much what's up with you?"
Makayla says, " We're taking care of Leo right now. He's not feeling well."
Morgan says, " Why? What happened?"
Makayla says, " The Purple Dragons handcuffed him to a cell tower last night and Leo hit his face on an antenna."
Morgan says, " Ow that's gotta hurt."
Makayla says, " I know. He was gritting his teeth when we found him." A few hours later Julia showed up at the lair and Makayla told her what happened. Julia went upstairs to her boyfriend's room to talk to him.
Julia says, " Leo are you ok? Makayla told me what happened to you."
Leo says, " Yeah I'm fine Julia. What are you doing here?"
Julia says, " I was coming here to hang out."
Leo smiles and says, " That's nice. I'm glad you're here then."
Julia smiles and says, " Oh Leo stop. You're making me blush."
Leo smiles and says, " Oh come on you look so cute when you blush like that."
Julia smiles and says, " Well so do you. Injury or no injury you still look really cute Leo." The pom girl and the blue masked turtle just stared into each other's eyes smiling at each other. Julia took out her ipod and turned on Give Me Love by Izzy Bizu. The two lovestruck teenagers stood there kissing each other. Julia kicked the door closed with her foot while Leo put his hands on her hips pulling her toward him. Julia wrapped her arms around Leo's neck and they continued kissing. They started waltzing around the room with each other. The two of them were so much in love with each other. Everytime Leo looked into Julia's eyes it made his heart race. He could hardly believe that he found someone that loved him for who and what he is.
Leo thought, ' God I love her so much!' Julia was his girl and no one else's. She was just so beautiful that he couldn't help himself. Leo started moving his hands up and down her hips as Julia was moving her hands up and down the back of his head. Leo loved Julia so much that he would do absolutely anything to protect her. But little did they know that someone was watching them from a hidden camera in Leo's room. It was Baxter Stockman!
Leo smiles and says, " I love you Julia Hathaway!"
Julia smiles and says, " I love you too Leonardo Hamato!" The two of them kissed each other. Meanwhile at Stocktronics lab Baxter Stockman grew an evil smirk on his face and said, " Very interesting! It appears that Leonardo has a girlfriend! Oh this should be fun!" Baxter Stockman let out a manaical laugh. He began to plan out a plot to capture Julia to gain information from her. Meanwhile back in Leo's room Leo and Julia continued to kiss each other. They were suddenly interrupted by Master Splinter walking in on them.
Master Splinter says, " What is going on in here my son?"
Leo says, " Nothing Master Splinter."
Julia says, " We're just kissing each other. That's it."
Master Splinter says, " Alright no more than that please. I don't want you two doing anything inappropriate."
Julia laughs and says, " Relax we're not going to do anything." Master Splinter walked away and Julia kicked the door shut again.
Leo smiles and says, " Now where were we?" They continued kissing each other. Then later that night as Julia was walking home she was unexpectedly attacked by Baxter Stockman's mousers. She screamed in terror as they chased her down the street into an alley. Once there she was hit with a tranquilizer dart and knocked out. When Julia came to she found herself restrained to a chair in Stocktronics labratory. She paniced and tried to free herself to no avail.
Julia screamed, " Show your pathetic face! Who did this to me?!" Baxter Stockman stepped out of the shadows with an evil smirk on his face.
Baxter Stockman maliciously says, "Greetings Julia Hathaway!"
Julia screamed, " What?! How do you know my name?! Who are you stupid jerk?!"
Baxter Stockman maliciously says, "My name is Dr. Baxter Stockman!"
Julia shouted, " That's a stupid name!"
Baxter Stockman shouted, "No it's not! Shut your mouth!"
Julia shouted, " No! I want to know why you kidnapped me!"
Baxter Stockman shouted, " To gain information from you Julia!"
Julia shouted, " I'm not telling you anything! Leave me alone!"
Baxter Stockman shouted, " Are you dating Leonardo?!"
Julia shouted, " Yes! How did you know about that?!"
Baxter Stockman maliciously says, "I put a camera in his room!"
Julia shouted, " How dare you spy on me and my boyfriend like that without us knowing about it!"
Baxter Stockman shouted, " Shut up!"
Julia shouted, " You shut up and leave me alone!" Julia secretly pressed the emergency signal button on her shell cell from behind her back. Baxter Stockman noticed this and shouted, "What do you think you're doing?! What do you have in your hand?!"
Julia shouted, " That's none of your business Baxter Stockman!" Just then the Hamato showed up to rescue Julia.
Julia screamed, " You guys get me out of here!"
Leo shouted, " What do you think you're doing to my girlfriend Stockman?! Get away from her!"
Baxter Stockman shouted, " So! Stupid reptiles and your pathetic sister, we meet again!"
Makayla shouted, " Yeah Stockman! Leave my friend Julia alone!"
Raph shouted, " Yeah before we kick da shell outta ya!"
Baxter Stockman maliciously says, "I don't think so!"
Makayla shouted, " You're a maniac!"
Baxter Stockman shouted, " What did you just say Makayla?!" Makayla got up in his face and shouted, " You heard me Stockman! You're a maniac!" Makayla kicked him in the shin.
Baxter Stockman angrily says, "Why you little bitch!" and they got into a fight with each other. Baxter Stockman tried to punch Makayla in the face but she ducked out of the way and kicked her leg out at him knocking him to the floor. Makayla takes out her ipod and starts playing her music as she was fighting Baxter Stockman. The song she had playing was the same song that Julia played on her ipod: Give Me Love by Izzy Bizu.
Julia screamed, " Yeah girl! Go Makayla Lynn Hamato!" Makayla kicked her leg out again but Baxter Stockman grabbed it swinging her around before letting go. Makayla stumbled backward but she didn't fall. She delivered a front snap kick to his stomach but he flipped her to the floor, grabbed her by the hair, pulled her to her feet and tried to punch her but she grabbed his wrist and twisted it making him let go of her hair. Baxter Stockman eventually kicked Makayla sending her flying into his computer desk knocking her out. This pissed off Raph.
Raph shouted, " Ya idiot! Ya just knocked out ma sister! I'm gonna freakin' kill ya!"
Baxter Stockman maliciously says, "Bring it on Raphael!"
Raph shouted, " Ya asked for it!" The 4 brothers attacked Baxter Stockman and Julia broke free from the chair. She ran toward the door and escaped.
Baxter Stockman shouted, " Get back here you little brat!" He began to chase after her.
Leo shouted, " Oh no you don't Baxter Stockman! Don't you dare go after my girlfriend!" Leo started to chase after Baxter Stockman.
Raph shouted, " Yo Leo where are ya goin'?!"
Leo shouted, " Raph you guys just stay here with Makayla for a second! I'm going after Baxter Stockman because I don't want him to hurt my girlfriend!" Leo ran down the hallway chasing Baxter Stockman and tackled him to the floor.
Julia screamed, " Leo!"
Leo shouted, " Julia run! Get out of here!"
Julia screamed, " There is no way in hell I'm leaving you behind Leo! You're my boyfriend!"
Leo shouted, " Julia I'll be fine just get out of here! Go!" Julia bolted down the hallway while Leo fought off Baxter Stockman. Once Julia got outside she ran into someone. She screamed.
A voice said, " Julia calm down it's only me." Julia then saw a face that was all too familiar to her.
Julia shockingly says, " Master Splinter?!"
Master Splinter says, " Yes it is me. Are you alright?"
Julia says, " Yes. I never been so relieved to see you."
Master Splinter says, " Where are my sons and my daughter?"
Julia says, " They're still in there fighting Baxter Stockman."
Master Splinter says, " Well shall I take you home first before I go in there to get my children?"
Julia says, " Sure I guess." Master Splinter took Julia back to her aunt's apartment. As Julia went into her room to get ready for bed Master Splinter walked into the living room and saw Julia's aunt passed out drunk on the couch snoring her head off. He then walked into Julia's room and said, " It appears that your aunt is passed out on the couch in the living room."
Julia says, " Yeah she told me earlier that she was going out to a club with her friends and she must have gotten drunk."
Master Splinter says, " Yes it appears that way."
Julia says, " Well it was nice chatting with you but I'm going to go to bed now."
Master Splinter says, " It was a pleasure to chat with you as well. Good night Julia."
Julia says, " Good night Master Splinter. Thanks for dropping me off."
Master Splinter says, " It was my pleasure. Goodbye." Master Splinter left and Julia fell asleep only to be woken up by someone tapping on her window. Julia got up, walked over to the window and opened it. Leo stepped inside the room.
Leo says, " Hey. Are you ok? Sensei told me I would find you here."
Julia says, " Yeah I'm fine." They kissed each other.
Leo says, " Listen, I don't think we should continue this relationship. I don't want you to get hurt."
Julia says, " Woah Leo we are not breaking up. I'm in this with you guys all the way no matter what happens."
Leo says, " Are you sure Julia? That's a really big risk."
Julia says, " It's a risk I'm willing to take Leo. Getting captured and beat up by enemies is worth it as long as I'm dating you." Then she smiles and says, " I love you Leo."
Leo smiles and says, " I love you too Julia." They kissed each other again.
Leo says, " You promise you won't leave me?"
Julia smiles and says, " I swear. I'm yours forever Leo."
Leo says, " What about your dad who's in prison?"
Julia says, " My dad can't say shit about this." She grabbed his head and kissed him. He kissed her back. But just as they least expected it Mr. Hathaway broke out of prison and showed up spying on his daughter. He barged into the room with a shotgun and shouted, " I'M GONNA KILL YOU JULIA!" This made Leo and Julia scream in terror.
Julia shouted, " DAD WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted, "WATCHING YOU KISSING ONE OF THOSE TURTLE FREAKS! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!"
Julia shouted, " HE'S MY BOYFRIEND DAD!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " THIS IS SO NOT HAPPENING!" He cocks his shotgun and approaches Leo. Leo starts backing away from him shouting, " Get that thing away from me Mr. Hathaway!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " No shut up! Stay away from my daughter!" He continued walking closer pointing the shotgun at Leo and Leo put his hands up shouting, " Don't you dare shoot me!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " I said shut up!" The commotion in the room alerted Julia's aunt and she came running into the room shouting at her brother, " Jacob what the hell are you doing here?!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " Stay out of this Terry!"
Terry shouted, " Julia what's going on in here?! What the hell is your father doing here?!"
Julia shouted, " He's trying to shoot my boyfriend Leo with a shotgun Aunt Terry!"
Terry shouted, " Jacob you leave Leo alone and get the fuck out of here! Don't you dare shoot him!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted at his sister, "I'll do whatever the hell I want to this freak! Don't tell me shit Terry or I'll fucking shoot you too!"
Julia shouted, " CALL MY BOYFRIEND A FREAK ONE MORE TIME DAD AND I'LL BASH YOUR MOTHERFUCKING HEAD AGAINST A WALL!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " How dare you talk to me like that Julia!"
Leo shouted, " Get out of here!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " SHUT UP! GO TO HELL LEONARDO!" He pointed his shotgun at Leo placing his finger on the trigger.
Terry shouted, " JACOB DON'T!" A loud bang rang out as Mr. Hathaway fired his shotgun hitting Leo in the chest. Blood spattered everywhere and Leo fell to the floor in a pool of blood.
Julia screamed, " LEONARDO!"
Terry shouted, " YOU IDIOT! YOU JUST SHOT YOUR DAUGHTER'S BOYFRIEND! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU JACOB?!" Julia pulled out her shell cell and frantically called Makayla.
Julia panically screamed, "MAKAYLA YOU GUYS NEED TO GET OVER TO MY AUNT'S APARTMENT RIGHT NOW!"
Makayla worriedly says, " Why?! What's going on Julia?!"
Julia panically screamed, " MY PSYCHO DAD SHOT YOUR BROTHER WITH A SHOTGUN MAKAYLA!" Upon hearing this Makayla dropped her shell cell on the kitchen counter and screamed. This alerted the others.
Raph shouted, " What da shell are ya screamin' about sis?!"
Makayla cried and screamed, " Julia just called me! Leo's been shot!"
Master Splinter panically shouted, "Leonardo's been what?!"
Makayla cried and screamed, " He's been shot! Julia's dad showed up at her aunt's apartment and shot him with a shotgun!"
Master Splinter panically shouted, "Quickly we must get over there now!" They headed to Julia's aunt's apartment. April had heard the shot when it first went off and ran inside the apartment just as her friends showed up. At first she couldn't figure out why her friends were there but then it became clear that something was terribly wrong. They ran into Julia's room to see Julia screaming and crying, Julia's aunt trying to calm her down and Mr. Hathaway standing over Leo's body still holding the shotgun in his hand. They were absolutely horrified to see this. April couldn't believe that her mutant turtle friend had been shot!
April screamed, " Oh my god! Leo!"
Master Splinter shouted, " Mr. Hathaway what in the world did you do to my son?!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " That's none of your business! Shut the fuck up!"
Raph shouted, " Dis is our business ya psycho! Ya shot our brother!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " I thought I killed you!"
Raph shouted, " I ain't dead no more! So shut da hell up!"
Master Splinter shouted, " Raphael! Watch your language!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " I said shut up!" and he pointed his shotgun at the rest of the mutants and April.
April shouted, " Don't you dare shoot us!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " Shut up!" Julia got up from the floor and shouted, " Why did you do that?!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " What makes him so special to you?!"
Julia shouted, " He's my boyfriend and I love him!" This completely shocked April. She had no idea that Julia was in love with her blue masked mutant turtle friend. Actually she didn't even know they were dating each other.
April shockingly says, " Did she just say that Leo's her boyfriend?!"
Master Splinter says, " Yes Ms. O'neal." April looks at Julia and shockingly says, " Leo never told me he had a girlfriend! Is this true?!"
Julia says, " Yeah it's true. Leo and I are boyfriend and girlfriend."
April says, " How long have you two been seeing each other?"
Julia says, " We've been seeing each other for 8 months."
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " Well that's gonna end now!"
Julia shouted, " No!" Julia ran to Leo's body screaming and crying. Donny began to work on his brother trying to save his life. Leo was in a coma.
Donny screamed, " Come on Leo! Don't die on us!" Donny began giving Leo oxygen and was applying direct pressure to Leo's gunshot wound in his chest.
Donny shouted, " Dammit Leo! Come on breathe!" Casey showed up and screamed, " What the shell is going on in here?!" Casey then saw Leo laying lifeless on the floor bleeding to death.
Casey screamed, " Oh my god! Leo! What's going on?!"
Julia screamed, " My crazy dad shot him Casey!"
Casey shouted, " Mr. Hathaway did this?!"
Makayla shouted, " Yes!" Casey turned toward Mr. Hathaway and shouted, " Ya idiot! Yer gonna pay for dis! Ya shot my friend!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " Shut it you hoodlum!"
Casey shouted, " Who are ya callin' a hoodlum ya mentally deranged psychopath!" Casey whacked the shotgun out Mr. Hathaway's hands with his hockey stick and the two of them got into a fight. Casey also shouted out his signature battle cry, "Goongala!"
Julia cried, " I already lost my mother I don't want to lose my boyfriend too!" This statement shocked Casey.
Casey shockingly says, " What did she say?!"
Donny says, " She said she already lost her mother and doesn't want to lose her boyfriend..."
Casey shockingly says, " Stop right there Donny! Leo's her what?!" Just then Leo came out of the coma, coughed and softly said, " She said I'm her boyfriend Casey."
Julia screamed, " Leo!" Leo tried to sit up on his own letting out grunts of pain but Donny worriedly said, "Woah Leo take it easy! Let me help you!" Donny helped his brother sit up and said, " Are you ok Leo?!"
Leo says, " I think so except my freaking chest hurts!"
Donny says, " That's because you got shot with a shotgun Leo!"
Leo sarcastically says, " Yeah thanks for that Mr. Hathaway!"
Mr. Hathaway shouted, " Oh shut up!" Terry called the police and Mr. Hathaway was arrested again. Melissa showed up moments later in her police uniform and panically said, " What the shell happened here you guys?! Someone from this building told me that someone got shot!"
Julia says, " Leo's the one that got shot Melissa! My dad shot him with his shotgun!" Melissa looked at Leo sitting on the floor pressing his hand into his chest.
Melissa worriedly says, " Oh my god Leo! Are you ok buddy?!" She got down on the floor next to him to take a look at his wound. She could clearly see where the bullet had entered and saw that it was still wedged in there. As Melissa began to touch it Leo groaned in pain gritting his teeth together.
Melissa says, " You know what come with me." She grabbed his wrist and pulled him to his feet. She then began dragging him out of the room and down the hallway.
Leo says, " Where are we going Melissa?!"
Melissa says, " I'm taking you to my mother! She's a doctor that works at Central Park Hospital! She'll know what to do!"
Leo says, " I don't think this is such a good idea Melissa!"
Melissa says, " Trust me Leo! My mother and I are really close! She'll understand!"
Leo says, " You promise me she won't freak when she sees me?!"
Melissa says, " I swear Leo that she won't freak!" The others followed Melissa and Leo to Central Park Hospital. Once there Melissa found her mother.
Melissa says, " Mom I know you're busy but I really need to talk to you for a second."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, "Well what is it Melissa?"
Melissa says, " One of my friends got shot by a shotgun and I need your help."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, " Ok and which one of your friends honey?"
Melissa says, " My friend Leo."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, "Alright I'll take a look at your friend Melissa." She began walking toward the room but Melissa said, " Um mom just to give you a heads up my friend Leo and his family are mutants."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave nods her head and says, " Ok." Then they walked into the room and saw Leo sitting on the bed with the others surrounding him.
Melissa says, " You guys this is my mom." Dr. Debby Shallowgrave walked up to Master Splinter and said with a smile, " Hi I'm Dr. Debby Shallowgrave."
Master Splinter says, " Nice to meet you. I'm Splinter, these are my children Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Makayla and these are some friends of ours. This is Ms. Terry Hathaway and her niece Julia Hathaway and these two are Ms. April O'neal and Mr. Casey Jones."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, " Well it's nice to meet all of you. So uh Splinter my daughter told me that you guys are mutants?"
Master Splinter says, " Yes that is correct Dr. Shallowgrave."
Makayla says, " Except for me. I'm normal." Everyone laughed.
Master Splinter smiles and says, "Yes my daughter has a very good sense of humor."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave laughs and says, " I can tell." Then she says, " So which one is Leonardo?" Master Splinter pointed at his eldest son and said, " This is Leonardo."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, " Ok." and walks over to Leo sitting on the bed.
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, " So Leo my daughter told me you got shot?"
Leo says, " Yeah my girlfriend's crazy dad shot me with a shotgun." At first the doctor was confused but Julia spoke up and said, " I'm his girlfriend." The doctor nodded her head and said, " So can anyone tell me what happened."
Julia says, " Well it started out when I got kidnapped by this crazy evil scientist Dr. Baxter Stockman so my friends came to rescue me including my boyfriend and fortunately I was able to escape Stockman so then I ran into Master Splinter who dropped me off at my aunt's apartment because that's where I live now and I went to bed. Then I was woken up by my boyfriend Leo tapping on the window, I let him in, we started talking and kissing, then when we least expected it my crazy dad showed up with his shotgun and shot my boyfriend. I was so scared and confused."
April says, " Yeah and I was confused too. I was sitting in my apartment watching tv when I heard this loud bang go off and I had no idea what it was. It confused me even farther when I saw my friends showing up so I started thinking that there must be something wrong with one of my friends and I ended up being right."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, " Did you know it was a shotgun?"
April says, " I didn't know what that loud bang was but I found out when my friends and I went in there and saw Mr. Hathaway standing over Leo holding a shotgun." The doctor then took an x-ray of Leo's chest and discovered that the bullet was just a few inches away from puncturing one of Leo's major blood arteries. Leo had been very lucky.
Master Splinter says, " How is he Dr. Shallowgrave?"
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, " He'll be just fine. The bullet was only a few inches away from Leo's artery."
Leo says, " So is that a good thing Dr. Shallowgrave?"
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, " Well considering the fact that it would have been an instantaneous death if the bullet had punctured your artery I'd say that's a very good thing Leo." She then had Leo lie back on the bed. Then she said, " Now I'm just going insert an IV and numb your body so that you won't feel any pain while I pull this bullet out of your chest. Ok?" Leo nodded his head and the doctor gently grabbed his hand, cleaned it, bulged out his vein and inserted the IV. Leo squinted his eyes shut as the needle pierced his skin. Once the IV was in Dr. Debby Shallowgrave took a syringe with a numbing agent, inserted it into the IV and released it into Leo's bloodstream. Leo could feel his body going numb within just a matter of seconds. Then Dr. Debby Shallowgrave took some tweezers and removed the bullet from Leo's chest. More blood started gushing out of the wound so the doctor applied direct pressure to it to get it to stop bleeding. Then she cleaned the wound, stitched it up and put a bandage on it. Within a few minutes Leo began to feel the pain of it again once the numbing agent wore off. He groaned in pain and grit his teeth together.
Leo says, " This hurts!"
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, " You want me to get you some more pain meds Leo."
Leo says, " Yes! Please!"
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, "Alright I'll be right back." and she walks out of the room. Morgan arrived moments later.
Morgan worriedly says, " Dude I just got your text! Is everything ok?!"
Makayla says, " Yes Morgan everything's fine."
Leo says, " Hi Morgan."
Morgan says, " Hey Leo. Welcome back to the world of living buddy."
Leo says, " Thanks." Just then Dr. Debby Shallowgrave came back into the room with more pain medication for Leo.
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, " Ok I'm back." She then looks at Morgan and says, " Now who is this that just showed up?"
Master Splinter says, " Dr. Shallowgrave this is my daughter's very nice but very crazy best friend Morgan Shroeder."
Morgan laughs and says, " Hey I'm not crazy Master Splinter!" Makayla jokingly whispers to the doctor saying, " Yeah she is Dr. Shallowgrave."
Morgan laughs and says, "Makayla!" Everyone in the room laughs at this. Dr. Debby Shallowgrave then gave Leo some more pain meds and then she said, " Alright I'm going to let you all get some rest. I'll check on you guys tomorrow." She walked out of the room and everyone went to sleep. Then the next day as Leo and Julia were walking around the hospital everyone else was back in the room talking to Dr. Debby Shallowgrave. Master Splinter told her their origin story of how they came to be and also how Makayla came into their lives.
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, "That's a very interesting story Splinter. I never even knew that."
Master Splinter says, " Thank you well now you know."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave turns to Makayla and says, " So your former name was Tabitha?"
Makayla says, " Yes but after I was adopted my name was changed to Makayla." The doctor asked several more questions and then she looked at the clock on the wall. It said that it was 20 minutes after 12 in the afternoon.
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, " Well I think when Leo and his girlfriend get back in here I think I'll have him take a nap. Now has he done this before?"
Master Splinter says, " Yes he has several times when him and his brothers were younger. I have done the same for my daughter as well when she was younger though I still tell her sometimes to do that."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, " Well that's good. Sometimes it's just nice to do that. I've told my daughter that several times too but sometimes she just gets a little too stubborn."
Melissa laughs and says, " I do not mom! Quit embarrassing me in front of my friends!"
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave laughs and says, " I don't mean to embarrass you but it's the truth Melissa! You do tend to get a little stubborn sometimes when I tell you to do that!"
Master Splinter says, " My children have also had their fair share of being stubborn as well Dr. Shallowgrave."
Donny says, " Yeah like yesterday we told Leo to take a nap and he just flipped out on us and said that he didn't need it."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, "Interesting. Why did you tell him to do that?"
Melissa says, " It's because of the injury he received to his face the night before yesterday."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, "What do you mean by that honey?"
Melissa says, " He got a radiation burn on the side of his face from being handcuffed to a Verizon Wireless cell tower."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave shockingly says, " Good heavens! Who would do that to him?!"
Melissa says, " Some violent street gang called the Purple Dragons."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, "That's just horrible. How did you guys get him down?"
Melissa says, " Ok you're not going to love hearing this mom but I was the one who got him down."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave shockingly says, " Melissa! That is absolutely dangerous! Why would you do that?!"
Melissa says, " I couldn't let my friend die up there mom. What was I supposed to do?"
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, "Melissa just because you're a police officer doesn't mean you can handle every situation. You're 15 years old."
Donny says, " That's exactly what I told her when she tried rescuing us from a villain. Because of that she threatened to arrest me and throw me in jail." Dr. Debby Shallowgrave stares at her daughter and says, "Melissa why did you say that?"
Melissa says, " Because he was questioning my authority mom. Plus he threatened to tell my boss about it to get me fired."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, "Melissa that's not nice to threaten your friends with that. Please don't do that again or you'll be grounded."
Melissa says, " Oh come on mom. Give me a break, would ya?" Just then Leo and Julia walked in.
Julia says, " Hi guys we're back."
Leo says, " Sorry we took so long. We just wanted a little alone time with each other."
Mikey says, " Did you two kiss each other Leo?" Raph smacked Mikey upside the head.
Mikey says, " Ow! What was that for?!"
Raph says, " Shut it shell for brains!"
Julia laughs and says, " For your information yes we did kiss!"
Leo smiles and says, " I swear she is so cute the way she says everything."
Julia laughs and says, " Oh Leo stop it! Now you're making me blush again!"
Leo smiles and says, " It's because I like it when you blush Julia! You're so cute!" Julia looked into his eyes, smiled and said, " You know what Leo? I like it when you blush too because you're cute!"
Leo smiles and says, " No you are!"
Julia smiles and says, " Oh stop it no you are!"
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave laughs and says, " Alright you two lovebirds that's enough!"
Leo says, " What? I was just telling my girlfriend that she's cute."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave smiles and says, " I know but you can tell her more later Leo because right now I'm going to have you take a nap."
Leo says, " Oh come on! Seriously?!"
Master Splinter says, " Leonardo just do what she says. Do not argue with her my son."
Leo says, " This is ridiculous!"
Master Splinter says, " See this is exactly what I was talking about Dr. Shallowgrave."
Leo says, " What?! You guys were talking about me behind my shell?!" Makayla pointed at Dr. Debby Shallowgrave and said, " She's the one who asked us the questions Leo."
Leo laughs and sarcastically says, "I so hate you guys!"
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave laughs and says, " You are being sarcastic!"
Leo laughs and says, " Hey I'm not the one who asked for this ok!"
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave says, " No you didn't. This was my call. Now please just stop talking and lay down on the bed." Leo said nothing, walked over to the bed and laid down. He fell asleep moments later. The others stepped out of the room with the doctor except for Makayla and Morgan. They decided to stay in the room with Leo.
Makayla whispered, " Hey Morgan I was thinking we should take a nap too since we have pom practice later."
Morgan whispered, " Yeah that sounds like a good idea Makayla." Morgan walked over to the window bench, laid down and fell asleep. Then Makayla grabbed her ipod, stuck the earbuds in her ears and played a song as she laid down on the floor and fell asleep. Moments later Master Splinter and Dr. Debby Shallowgrave came in to check on them.
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave whispered, "Looks like your daughter and her best friend are sleeping too."
Master Splinter whispered, " Yes and it appears that my daughter has fallen asleep listening to her ipod." He could hear the music a little bit coming out of his daughter's earbuds. The song that was playing was The Coming by the Black Eyed Peas.
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave whispered, "Your daughter listens to Black Eyed Peas?"
Master Splinter whispered, " Well she pretty much listens to everything except for inappropriate songs that I don't want her listening to but she does it anyway."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave whispered, "Typical teenage girl. Always trying to do stuff that she's not supposed to do. My daughter does that sometimes too."
Master Splinter whispered, " Yes and it's not just that. I also worry about the times that Makayla is hanging out with Austin too."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave whispered, "Who's Austin?"
Master Splinter whispered, " He's my daughter's boyfriend."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave whispered, "So two of your children are in a relationship with someone? Leo and Makayla?"
Master Splinter whispered, "Actually three. My son Donatello has a girlfriend as well."
Dr. Debby Shallowgrave whispered, "Really? Who is he dating?"
Master Splinter whispered, " He is dating another one of my daughter's friends. Her name is Blaze Hofstadter." The two adults continued to talk to each other quietly before they walked back out into the hallway. 5 weeks later Makayla and her brothers were getting ready to spar with each other in the dojo at the lair.
Makayla says, " Hold on one second." Makayla walked over to her ipod connected to her bluetooth speaker and turned on the song We Got The Beat by Radio Disney Pop Dreamers.
Raph says, " What da shell is dis song Makayla?!"
Makayla says, " It's called We Got The Beat. Just a little something to set the mood."
Master Splinter says, " You are very creative my daughter. Alright begin." The sparring session kicked off as the music was bouncing off the walls. Makayla was easily blocking her brothers' attacks on her. Leo was swinging his katanas at her but she jumped over his head and roundhouse kicked him in the shell knocking him to the floor. Donny came at her and tried to trip her with his bo staff but she flipped him to the floor. Raph tried to jab her with his sais but she kicked him in the face sending him into a wall. Makayla then faced off with Mikey.
Makayla says, " Come and get me Mikey."
Mikey says, " Ok you asked for it sis." Mikey came running at her swinging his nunchucks shouting, "Cowabunga!" The two went into a frenzy of attacks against each other but when Makayla knocked Mikey to the floor she shouted, " Victory!" Leo gets up and shouted, " Not so fast Makayla!" He started swinging his katanas at her which caught her off guard a little making her scream before attacking her brother.
Leo shouted, " Never let your guard down sis! Be ready for anything!"
Makayla shouted, " You want to talk about that Leo?! Be ready for this!" In one swift move the light was shut off and on before Makayla landed behind Leo. Leo turned around only to be kicked in the face by his sister. Leo laid on the floor and just stared at her.
Makayla smiled and shouted, " How's that for being ready for anything Leo?!"
Raph says, " No fair Makayla! Ya cheated!"
Makayla laughs and says, " I didn't cheat Raph! I'm just that good! Face it bros you just got your shells kicked by a girl!" Master Splinter walked up and said, " You may have gotten the best of your brothers Makayla but do you think you can beat me?" Makayla smirks and says, " Oh it's so on Sensei! Are you prepared to lose to your daughter?!"
Master Splinter says, " We shall see about that Makayla!"
Makayla smirked and exclaimed, "Alright then, it's on!" She changed the song to It's On by Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. The music started and father and daughter faced off with each other. As they were throwing a series of punches and kicks at each other Donny says to the others, " Master Splinter's so going to kick her shell." A few times Makayla added some dance moves in there and Master Splinter says, "Focus Makayla! A true ninja never loses focus!"
Makayla says, " Alright you asked for it Sensei!" She kicked her father but he blocked her foot from hitting his face. But in the middle of this Morgan showed up and began dancing like an idiot to the song Makayla had playing on her ipod.
Raph says, " What da shell is Morgan doing here?!" Thankfully his father and sister didn't hear what he said and continued sparring. Morgan continued dancing around the dojo like an idiot.
Donny says, " I don't know Raph but Morgan better stop doing that or she's going to get hurt." Once again Master Splinter and Makayla didn't hear them and continued to spar completely unaware that Morgan was there dancing like an idiot. But eventually just as Donny predicted would happen Makayla accidentally bumped into her best friend knocking her to the floor. Donny squinted his eyes shut when he saw this.
Master Splinter says, " What is going on here?!"
Morgan says, " Ok let me just say for the record, ow that hurt!"
Makayla says, " Morgan what the shell are you doing?!"
Morgan says, " Well I wanted to see what you were up to Makayla and I heard music playing in here so I thought why not come in here and start dancing!"
Makayla says, " Morgan I'm in the middle of a sparring lesson!"
Morgan stupidly says, " Oops! Sorry Makayla!"
Master Splinter says, " Morgan that was very foolish what you did. You could have gotten seriously hurt."
Morgan says, " I know and I'm sorry Master Splinter! I just got a little too carried away!"
Master Splinter says, " Well can you promise me next time that when we're in here sparring that you don't come in here and start dancing around like a fool like you did this time Morgan?"
Morgan says, " Yes I promise!"
Master Splinter says, " Ok now I want you to go sit over there in the corner so my daughter and I can finish our sparring session Morgan." He pointed to the corner of the dojo where he wanted Morgan to go to. Morgan walked over and sat down. The sparring session continued. But a few minutes in Morgan got up and started shaking her hips a little. Master Splinter saw this and said, "Morgan don't even think about! Sit back down!" Morgan sat back down and the sparring continued. Morgan got up again and did the same thing.
Master Splinter says, " Morgan what did I tell you?! Sit down and if you get up one more time I will tell Donatello to hold you down!" Morgan sat back down again but then she got up again and did the same thing again. She thought this was very funny.
Master Splinter says, " Alright that's it Morgan! Donatello hold her down!" Donny gets up, walks over to Morgan and says, " Ok come here Morgan!" He grabs her and she says, " Get off of me Donny!" Donny pulls her down into his lap and says, "No you're going to sit here with me!" He wrapped his arms around her waist and Morgan said, " This is ridiculous!" Donny placed his hand over her mouth and said, " Morgan quit being a chatterbox! Shut your piehole!"
Morgan(talking through Donny's hand), " You don't even know what a chatterbox is Donny!"
Donny says, " Yes I do! It's a person that talks too much which is you Morgan so shut your trap!"
Morgan(talking through Donny's hand), " If you don't get your hand off my mouth right now Donny I'm gonna bite your freaking hand!"
Donny says, " You wouldn't even dare Morgan! Now if you don't stop talking I will sedate you!" Morgan then took her hand and smacked Donny on his leg. Donny grabbed her hand with his free hand and said, "You smack me one more time Morgan and I will freaking handcuff you!"
Morgan(talking through Donny's hand), " Don't even dare Donatello!" Morgan smacked him 3 times and Donny said, " Ok that's it!" He took out a pair of handcuffs and handcuffed Morgan.
Morgan screamed, " What the shell are you doing?!" Donny put his hand back over her mouth and said, "Morgan I said to shut your trap and I told you I would handcuff you if you smacked me again!"
Morgan(talking through Donny's hand), " This is complete bullshit!"
Donny says, " Morgan Renet Shroeder don't swear at me! Now just shut your trap! You're talking too much!"
Morgan(talking through Donny's hand), " You're a stupid idiot Donatello!"
Donny says, " Morgan you don't even know what you're talking about and no I'm not an idiot I'm a genius!"
Morgan(talking through Donny's hand), " More like a genius idiot!"
Donny laughs and says, " Now you're just really not making sense Morgan!"
Morgan(talking through Donny's hand), " Oh just shut your piehole Einstein!"
Donny says, " I'll shut my piehole when you shut yours Morgan!" When the sparring session was over Makayla came over to her brother and her best friend and said, " What is going on over here?"
Donny says, " It's nothing Makayla. It's just some stupid banter going on between us."
Makayla says, " What did you do to my best friend?"
Donny says, " I handcuffed her because she wouldn't stop smacking me and now I'm trying to get her to shut her trap but she keeps talking through my hand."
Makayla says, " What are you trying to do Donny?! Trying to suffocate my best friend to death?!"
Donny says, " No." He released Morgan from his grip and Morgan started laughing.
Morgan laughs and says, " Oh man Makayla if my friend Evan was still here and he saw this he'd probably just lhao at this!"
Makayla says, " Morgan what does lhao mean?" Morgan whispered in Makayla's ear, " It means laugh his ass off!"
Makayla laughs and says, " Oh my god!" The two best friends doubled over in laughter.
Morgan laughs and says, " I know it's hilarious!"
Donny says, " What?! What did you say Morgan?!" Makayla whispers to Donny, " She said laugh his ass off!"
Donny says, " Oh my god Morgan!" The two girls laughed again. Then 3 weeks later Julia and her Aunt Terry invited Julia's friends to go camping with them. It was Julia, her Aunt Terry, Makayla, Morgan, Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo and even Master Splinter crammed into Aunt Terry's motorhome. As Aunt Terry was driving the motorhome down the highway she had the radio turned on to 100.3 WNIC. Master Splinter sitting in the seat next to her while his children, Julia, and Morgan were in the back. Raph was laying on one side of the couch snoring like a chainsaw, Leo was sitting on the other end reading a book, Donny was sitting on one side of the table working on his laptop, Mikey was on the other end of the table playing his gameboy, Makayla was sprawled out on the floor listening to her ipod tapping her feet on the floor shaking her head to the beat of the music and Julia and Morgan were sitting on the floor talking to each other.
Master Splinter says, " Thank you very much for inviting us Terry."
Terry says, " Oh you're very welcome Splinter. I have a ton of room in this motorhome so don't think you guys are in the way or anything."
Master Splinter says, " No it's not that it's just that we haven't been able to get out very much because of what we are."
Terry says, " That's completely understandable. You're trying to protect your family."
Master Splinter says, " Exactly. I worry a little more about my sons than my daughter though."
Terry says, " That's completely understandable too. And again I'm very sorry for the actions of my brother."
Master Splinter says, " That is quite alright Terry. This has nothing to do with you, that's his problem and not yours."
Terry says, " I know but your son got hurt because of it and I feel really bad about it."
Master Splinter says, " Well I can reassure you that it is quite alright."
Terry says, " Yeah I don't know what happened to my brother. He never used to be like this but ever since he divorced Elena he's changed and became this raging alcoholic for some stupid reason."
Master Splinter says, " Well that is his problem. So what happened between your brother and your sister-in law?"
Terry says, " Well I can't say for sure what happened in their marriage but I think the reason why it ended is because I think it had something to do with the fact that Elena was working too late all the time and my brother was getting fed up with it and I don't know it's... What is that thumping noise I'm hearing?!"
Master Splinter says, " I don't know. Hold on one second." He turned his head around to see his daughter kicking the floor with her legs. Master Splinter turns his head back around and says, " It's just my daughter. One second please." He turned his head toward his daughter and said, " Makayla stop doing that." Makayla didn't hear her father so Master Splinter said her name a little louder, " Makayla!" Makayla still didn't hear him so Master Splinter turns his head back to Terry and says, " Excuse me for one more moment Terry. I need to raise my voice at my daughter for a second because apparently she can't hear me."
Terry says, " That's ok go ahead Splinter. I do that to Julia sometimes."
Master Splinter says, " Thank you." He turned his head toward his daughter and shouted, " Makayla Lynn Hamato!" This time Makayla heard him, took her earbuds out of her ears and said, " What Master Splinter?!"
Master Splinter says, " Makayla please stop making that noise. It is very annoying."
Makayla says, " What?! This?!" She kicks her legs into the floor again.
Master Splinter says, " Yes that Makayla. Stop doing it. You are going to give us all a headache."
Makayla says, " Ok sorry Sensei."
Master Splinter says, " Thank you. Now what song are you listening to?You're not listening to another inappropriate song are you my daughter?"
Makayla says, " No I'm not."
Master Splinter says, " Good because if you were I would take your ipod away." Makayla goes back to listening to her music and Master Splinter turns his head back to Terry.
Master Splinter says, " Sometimes I do not know what to do with her."
Terry says, " I hear you. Raising a teenage girl is very stressful sometimes."
Master Splinter says, " Yes it is. Did I ever tell you about the time that my daughter and her best friend prank called me and her brothers?"
Terry says, " No I don't think I heard about that. Really?"
Master Splinter says, " Yes they were pretending to be a character from a fictional tv show and when Donatello found out that it was a prank Leonardo decided to prank them and say it was the police."
Terry laughs and says, " Oh my word that's funny!"
Master Splinter says, " Yes but it is not as funny as what happened next Terry."
Terry says, " Well what happened next Splinter?"
Master Splinter says, " Well my son Leonardo decided to take his prank a little farther so he pretended to be a police officer to scare his sister and her best friend."
Terry laughs and says, " That's hilarious! Did it work?!"
Master Splinter says, " Yes it did work."
Morgan shouted, " It wasn't funny when we found out the first time!" Master Splinter turned his head toward her and said, " Morgan do not interrupt. I am talking up here." He turns his head back to Terry and says, " I am very sorry for that rude interruption Terry."
Terry says, " Oh that's ok. I'm used to that. Sometimes when mine and Jacob's sister Janice comes to visit and me and her are talking to each other sometimes Julia would interrupt us."
Master Splinter says, " What is it with children and their interruptions when two adults are speaking to each other?"
Terry says, " I don't know. We'll never completely understand what goes on in adolescents heads. And in case you didn't know adolescents is another word for... Teenagers!" Her and Donatello said that at the same time. Master Splinter turned his head toward Donatello and said, " Yes Donatello I am very aware of that word." The second he turned his head back to Terry torrential rain began to hit the motorhome.
Terry says, " Oh come on! Seriously?! Hold on one second you guys we need to pull over!" She pulled her motorhome off the highway and put it in park. Raph began to wake up and said, " Are we dere yet?!"
Master Splinter says, " No Raphael we are not."
Raph groaned and said, " What da shell is takin' so long?!"
Makayla says, " Raph don't be rude." Just then the music on the radio was interrupted by the E.A.S tone.
Terry frustratingly says, " Oh shit!" and turns the radio up.
Leo says, " What's going on? What's that noise?"
Master Splinter says, " Leonardo be quiet for a second. We are listening to an emergency broadcast." As they were listening to the severe weather alert Donatello says, " That sounds like a drunk guy."
Makayla says, " Yeah I was about to say that too Donny." Master Splinter turned his head toward them and said, " Donatello and Makayla be quiet! This is very important!" He turned his head back around to the front and everyone shut up to continue listening to the severe weather alert. After that Terry frustratingly says, " Oh that's just great! We're in the middle of nowhere and there's a tornado warning! And we have at least 3 and a half hours more to go to get where we need to be!"
Makayla frightenly says, " What?! They said it was a tornado warning?!"
Master Splinter says, " Yes they did Makayla now calm down!" Mikey lets out a high pitched girly scream, Raph walks over to him and smacks him upside the head.
Mikey says, " Ow! Raph?!"
Raph shouted, " Shut up Mikey!" Master Splinter turns his head around and shouts, " Raphael that is enough! Seriously how many times do I have to tell you children not use the words shut up?! I don't like it and it's not nice!"
Terry says, " You guys all need to calm down. There are two adults in here which is me and Splinter that will make sure nothing happens. You are not alone in here."
Morgan worriedly says, " Yeah but what if a tornado touches down and we get sucked up into it?!"
Terry says, " Morgan we're going to be fine. We're not going to get sucked up in a tornado." Terry shows her the weather radar.
Terry says, " Look the red dot is us and up here is where the tornado is." She pointed at the top corner of the screen that showed a hook like shape.
Terry says, " It's maybe about 6 or 7 miles north of us so we're safe for now. We probably might just get really bad rain and hail for a little bit." As they sat there in silence for about 5 minutes the radar began to ding and Makayla screamed.
Master Splinter says, " Calm down my daughter! What is it?!"
Makayla screamed, " The radar's dinging!"
Terry shockingly says, " What?!" and looks at the radar. It showed that the tornado shifted direction and was now heading toward them!
Terry panically says, " Oh shit it's headed right toward us! Hang on guys!" She turned the ignition back on and put the motorhome in reverse. As she backed the motorhome out of the roadside ditch Makayla frightenly said, " I'm so freaking scared right now!"
Master Splinter says, " I know you're scared Makayla but please calm down." Aunt Terry shifted her motorhome into drive and floored the gas pedal speeding it down the highway.
Julia screamed, " Aunt Terry what the shell are you doing?!"
Terry shouted, " I'm trying to get us out of this storm Julia!" Then she turned her head around and shouted, " Boys get down on the floor now before you get hurt!" The 4 turtle brothers got down on the floor with the girls. As Aunt Terry was racing the motorhome down the highway Mikey shouted, " Wait where's Klunk?!"
Makayla shouted, " Klunk is right here in my arms Mikey!" Klunk let out a meow and Mikey let out a sigh of relief. Aunt Terry could see the tornado off to the side in the distance coming straight toward her motorhome as she was desperately trying to out run it.
Terry panically says, " Shit this is not good! It's coming right at us!"
Julia screamed, " Oh dear god! What are we gonna do Aunt Terry?!" Once the tornado was a few inches in front of the motorhome Terry shouted, " Oh my god here it comes! Hit the deck!" Aunt Terry and Master Splinter ducked their heads below the windshield as it blew out when the tornado hit the motorhome and the motorhome went airborn spining in the air. Donny threw himself over Makayla and Morgan while Leo threw himself over Julia. Mikey and Raph threw themselves on the floor as a tree limb came flying through the broken windshield landing on top of Raph's shell. As the motorhome was spining in the air Makayla was screaming her head off in terror.
Makayla screamed in terror, "We're gonna die!"
Leo screamed, " No we're not Makayla! Stop screaming!"
Master Splinter shouted, " Leonardo do not scream at your sister!"
Terry screamed, " Oh my god this is horrible!"
Julia screamed, " Aunt Terry I'm scared!"
Terry screamed, " I know but just calm down Julia!"
Makayla screamed, " Oh god make it stop!"
Raph shouted, " Shut yer trap sis!" Then after 45 minutes of the raging winds and pounding rain and hail the winds died down and the motorhome was gently set back down on the highway. Aunt Terry and Master Splinter lifted their heads up and Terry said, " Oh thank god that's over!" Master Splinter turned his head around and said, " Is everyone alright back here?" Leo lifted his head and said, " Yeah we're fine Sensei." Makayla was crying so Donny embraced her.
Donny says, " Sh sis it's ok calm down. The tornado's gone." Makayla continued to cry into her brother's shoulder.
Terry says, " Ok you know what I think she should go take a nap."
Master Splinter says, " Yes I was thinking the exact same thing."
Makayla complained, " No! I don't need it!"
Master Splinter says, " Makayla do not argue with us. Donatello please take your sister into one of the bedrooms." Donny carried his sister into a bedroom and placed her in the bed. Makayla fell asleep moments later.
To be continued...
