Me: recap: Leo's awesome son Kristoff did an amazing kata. Now to respond to some reviews. To Guest: Yes! I am OBSESSED with Frozen! To guest, LittleVentLOVER: Thanks for your support! Much appreciated! To blueturtlepower4ever: Thanks for the compliment! And Leo was much relieved to hear that! XD and finally to Turtle Tomboy: Thanks! And yes, I am aware of that. ._. but thanks for your support!

"R-really?" Kris stammered. "I thought I was doing it wrong!"

"No. Every move was perfect." Leo's eyes were wide for a moment, then he smiled broadly and held out his hand for a high three. Kris obliged and they walked inside to where Karai was already sitting at the table.

"What were you doing?" she asked.

"Babe, Kris just did the 'Raging Dragon' kata perfectly." Leo answered, his tone instantly serious.

"What?!" Karai's face was immediately serious. "I couldn't even do that one half-no, a quarter- right when I was his age!"

"Neither could I, but he did it."

"How is that even possible?"

"I dunno, I think I'll call Splinter and ask him to check it out."

"Splinter? You don't think-"

"MOM! DAD!" Kris yelled. His parents both turned to look at him. "It's just a stupid kata, it's no big deal." He crossed his arms.

"Kris, it is. It shows you have a great potential." Leo said, pulling out his tPhone and dialing Splinter.

"You don't have to call Grandfather!" Kris grumped. "If there's something you need to know, figure it out yourself." Karai frowned and tapped his shoulder.

"Why don't we go ahead and eat?" Karai asked, though her tone said not to argue. Kris, who wasn't going to to begin with, hungrily nodded.

"Hey sensei...yes...no, no...Kris just did the 'Raging Dragon' kata perfectly...yeah, I wondered...exactly!...ok, bye." Leo tapped the "End call" button and grabbed a slice of pizza. Kris watched as he chewed on it, then Karai cleared her throat.

"So." She began.

"He'dth on hidth way. He wantdth to thdee Kwith do the kata." Leo responded through a mouthful of pizza. Karai glared daggers at him and he quickly swallowed. "I mean, he's on his way, he wants to see Kris do the kata." Karai chuckled.

"I think eighteen years with Mikey affected you greatly." She sniggered.

"Mikey still does it constantly and honestly, Angie is no better." Leo laughed. "And on that note, neither are Ryan and Casey."

"Wait, Uncle Mikey, Aunt Angie, Cathey and Uncle Wyan talk wiv ver mouffs full?" Kris asked through his pizza. Leo laughed harder, and Karai glared at him for setting such a bad example. Leo grinned sheepishly and started searching for a pack of instant ramen in the pantry. Splinter was fast, and traveling by sewers where there was no traffic, so he didn't have time to make it from scratch, despite what his sensei may think of it. He ran some water into it and popped it into the microwave. After it was done Leo sat it on the counter to cool and started washing a pair of chopsticks so they could dry as he finished his pizza. The family of three chatted animatedly as they ate their mid-day meal. The doorbell ringing them sent them all into silence.

"C'mon in! It's unlocked!" Leo shouted. The door creaked down the hall and shut with barely a sound. Leo moved the ramen and chopsticks to the table as the tall and dignified form of his sensei walked into the kitchen/dining area.

"Leonardo, you must keep your door locked at all times. And be more carefully how willingly you admit people into your home, and always be sure of who you are admitting into your home. What if it had not been me?" Splinter lectured his oldest son.

"Sorry sensei." Leo said, bowing his head.

"Do not let this happen again." Splinter ordered.

"Hai sensei." Leo gave a short bow and offered his sensei a seat at the table with the ramen. After he sat down, Leo grabbed a long trench coat and a broad-rimmed fedora from a hook on the wall as Kris sniggered at his dad's guilty obedience of his grandfather.

"Leonardo, where are you going?" Splinter asked.

"To see Andrew." Leo replied, buttoning up the trench coat. "About Kris's birthday."

"OH!" Kris snatched up the stack of cards, still on the table and thumbed through them, choosing one and giving it to Splinter. Without a word, Splinter opened the envelope and read the card.

"I will be sure to attend your party." Splinter smiled at Kris as Leo dropped his fedora on his head. This did little to conceal his appearance, and it wasn't inconspicuous at all, but it did enough that the citizens of New York, who had apparently seen everything but mutant turtles, wouldn't give him a second glance. He gave Karai a kiss on the cheek, ruffled Kris's hair and waved at Splinter.

"Bye, guys! See ya later!" He said.

"Bye, babe."

"G'bye, dad!"

"Goodbye, Leonardo."

Leo walked down the hall and then outside. He dug into his pockets and pulled out his keys to his truck. He climbed in and made quick work of the five-hour trip, taking back roads and such, shortening it to an hour and a half. He was careful to avoid too much traffic, because if a human did stare at him long enough, then it would be easy to see his leafy green skin, blue mask, and katanas poking up out of the collar of his trench coat. After a while, he came to the old abandoned fortune cookie factory, that had been the setting of so many of his and his brothers' battles. He parked across the street in an alley and crossed over to a burly, blonde man in khaki shorts, a black t-shirt and a pair of Nikes leaning against the wall. As he approached, Leo removed his hat.
