All wrapped up.
Right, so here's the last chapter.
I do not own Tmnt in anyway shape or form, but I do own my oc's the gypsies and the horses.
"Where the shell is he!?" Raph growled. This was ridiculous, it had been a full half-hour since Donatello left and all he'd been doing was having a staring contest with the male horse, he wasn't an idiot he could tell the horse plainly didn't like him, or anyone for that matter. About five minutes after Donnie left Mikey had tried to lead them out and the male horse had whinnied threating at him. Mikey had let out his signature scream and ran backwards.
Then it had been Raph's turn, he'd edged towards the horse clucking his tongue softly going 'here horsey horsey…' sounding like he was trying to call klunk rather than an adult horse. That hadn't worked either.
Finally it was Leo's turn; he'd tiptoed up to the horse and stretched his hand out, using the same gentle tone raph had. In response the adult horse had mock-charged him. Admittedly it had been hilarious to see Leo let out a feminine shriek before sprinting away to the entrance of the alleyway.
Raph and Mikey had nearly wet themselves laughing at that. "C'mon fearless not scared of a horse are you?" Raph had grinned mockingly.
Leo's eyes narrowed. "You want another go at them?" no response. "No? Well shut up then." Not the way raph envisioned the situation working out, he'd pictured Leo getting a bit more upset or maybe just doing that thing when he pretended he couldn't hear him, what raph hadn't pictured was getting smack-talked by his older sibling.
So 15 minutes later and raph was about ready to die of boarded. Thankfully Donnie chose that precise moment to ring them.
At hearing the phone raph had leapt about 20 miles in the air and Mikey had screamed, earning a 'for god's sake guys, we're ninja's; we're supposed to be silent." From Leo.
Raph had taken great pleasure in his next remark. "What? Like you were when you went screaming up the alleyway?" In the background Mikey snorted and Donnie was, naturally, confused.
"Looks like you guys need to fill me in on what happened." He remarked to Mikey, over the phone. "Look, I'm on my way with the owners of the horses, they're called Charlie and Matthew, so hide somewhere where you can see what's happening but not be seen."
"Sure thing, ingenious brother of mine." The moment Mikey hung up, they all took to the shadows, just at the precise second don came round the corner, behind him was a tall, dark-hired boy, chewing something and a muscly, tall, wide man that reminded Raphael of a bear.
"Yeh, thanks for looking after them for us." The bear like man said, gruffly. "But we can take it from 'ere. C'mon Matthew and for Christ sake spit that gum out before ya choke ta death."
As the bear-like man, presumably Charlie, stalked of, the skinny one, presumably Matthew, turned and spat his gum out on the floor.
"Nice." Leo deadpanned from next to the hot-head.
Before Raph had the chance to point out this was New-York City, not the Ritz, Charlie was heard softly crooning.
"'Ello Ricky…you alright mate? Good, good, and what about you gems?"
"Ricky?" Leo turned to don, who had spotted them and was trying to casually lean against the bin so he could talk to them.
"yeh, the male horse is called Ricky, he's Charlie's, female's called Gemma, she's Lucy's who's Charlie's wife, the chestnut one is called Lightning and belongs to Matthew and the other one is called Dusk and belongs to Matthews younger sister, Lilly."
"Cool. Well at least we don't ave to deal with 'em." Mikey grinned.
It was at that precise moment Charlie yelled over to don. "Hey, I don't spose you'd mind giving me a hand would ya? You can grab gems, me an' matt have the rest." Charlie was holding onto Ricky, Matthew onto the two foals.
"Ya had to open ya big mouth." Raph muttered, glaring at Mikey.
"Ok!" Don went over and gently took the horse in the manner Charlie showed him.
"So which one of us are going to follow them to the campsite?" Mikey whispered.
"I will, I'm the stealthiest." Leo mumbled under his breath as Matthew brought up the rear, still holding onto the foals as he passed him.
"What, like when you took of shrieking down the alleyway?" Raph couldn't resist.
Leo blushed, and then urgently said. "Quick they're leaving! We'll all go, hurry up!"
10 minutes later, at the gypsie campsite, Lucy and Lilly were thrilled to see their horses back and couldn't thank don enough.
"Ah, it was nothing." Don said politely, trying to figure out a good way to leave as he could see Leo indicting to wrap it up.
"Don't be modest! Without you, those horses would have likely died!" Lucy gushed.
"Yeh she's right." Charlie grinned. "We can't thank you enough."
"It's just a shame we didn't get to meet you're brothers." Matthew said, finally speaking. "They sound like they're really cool."
"Actually yeah, that's a point; I thought you said they were looking after them?"
"They were." Don, beginning to get uncomfortable with the way the conversation was heading, edged closer to the gate.
"But they weren't there when we got there."
"Did you tell them to go away? I saw you on the phone." Matthew piped up. Don curses slightly under his breath, he guy had only spoken two lines in his presence and already the tech-lovin' turtle wanted to knock his block of.
"Well, er, erm, hey! Look over there!" all four gypsies tuned and stated at the spot don had indicated, seeing nothing they turned back, but Donatello wasn't there.
"Don? Don! Donatello! Where is he?" Charlie asked in puzzlement to Lucy, who shrugged.
"Oh leave him dad." Lilly rolled her eyes. "If he wants to be mysterious then let him, after all you don't like it when people interfere with your business."
"True but what has he got to hide? It's not like he's one of those teenage mutant ninja turtles."
Meanwhile in the lair Mikey plonked himself next to don. "Nice exit line." Don rolled his eyes. Mikey just grinned and nudged him mischievously in the side. "I'm sure they didn't find that weird in the slightest."
"Whatever Mikey. I'm just glad I got out of there before they caught on."
