~Chapter twenty-five~

"Welp, imma go to sleep, let's just deal with this tomorrow," said Emu, standing up.

"W-wait, please someone help me understand. Is it the same thing with Chibi-Usa, or when we got reincarnated, or-" Mikey was rambling but Zemon shushed him.

"Like Emu said, we'll talk in the morning," said Zemon as Mikey pouted.

"Ok, then I'm going to sleep," muttered Serena getting up, "brother, you look tired, come on, let's go to sleep."

"I'm not…ugh, fine," sighed Mikey, "let's go, get up Zemon."

Zemon sighed and sat up, he then turned into a cat, and climbed onto Mikey's shoulder.

"Imma head out too," stated Casey.

"Ok, see you guys in the morning," concluded Leo, as all the others nodded.

"Goodnight/night/see you," said everyone.

I'm the morning:

Raphael sighed as he woke up, looking at his alarm clock to see the time, 6:27 am. He grunted as he got up. Raph stretched as he walked into the kitchen, pouring himself cereal.

"Ohayōgozaimasu, Raph-san!," greeted Emu.

"Huh, uh, hey," responded Raph, "h-how did you…uh, get in here?"

"Hm? Oh! Temu teleported me," explained Emu, sitting on the counter.

"Temu," questioned Raph.

"Yes, Raphael," asked Temu, behind Raph, causing Raph to jump.

"FUCK! Worn a guy before you teleport behind him, would ya," yelped Raph, putting his hand on his plastron.

"My apologies, I didn't mean to scare you," said Temu.

"Pft, I wasn't really scared…more like startled," scoffed Raph.

"Sure…" nodded a skeptical Temu.

"Where is uh…Aron," asked Raph.

"He's still sleeping," replied Emu as Donnie entered the kitchen area.

"Hey," muttered Donnie, "how did you three sleep?"

"Good," chirped Emu.

"Aight," replied Raph, sitting down to eat.

"I slept well, how about you," questioned Temu.

"I slept ok," replied Donnie, making himself coffee, "By the way, Leo's awake. So is Sensei, they're meditating."

"I figured," grunted Raph.

An hour later:

"Kon'nichiwa, min'na," greeted Serena, walking into the lounge area.

"Ohayōgozaimasu, ohimesama," replied Emu.

"Hime-sama, yoku nemuremashita ka," questioned Temu.

Serena sighed before speaking, "Watashidesu ka? Yoku nemuremashitaga, sakuya no koto o kangaete yofukashi shite shimaimashita."

"Same," sighed Emu, laying back.

"What did you say," Raph asked Serena.

"I said that I slept well but stayed up, thinking about last night," Serena restated as she sat down next to Raph.

"Oh," muttered Raph, "I forgot about that."

"Really," scoffed Temu.

"I thought it was a twisted dream," added Raph.

"I wish it was," muttered Serena, "Shitsumon ga takusan arimasu…"

"Mhm," agreed Emu, "I wish they would just tell us the truth."

"I agree. I feel like they are hiding many things from us," stated a thoughtful Donnie as Temu nodded his head in agreement.

"Yeah, if they don't talk today, imma force them," said Raph, pounding his fist together.

"Raph, no violence," scolded Leo, walking into the lounge area.

"Huh, fearless? Where's Splinter," asked Raph.

"He's still meditating," replied Leo, leaning down to kiss Serena's cheek, making her giggle, "are the others up yet?"

"Aron isn't," stated Emu.

"Zemon too, along with Suki," added Temu.

"I am awake," said Zemon, in the form of a hamster.

"What the-" started Donnie.

"E-EH," yelped Emu, "ZEMON?! Don't scare me like that!"

"My bad, Emu," replied Zemon, turning into his human form.

"Yeah, you're bad," sighed Emu.

"Mr. Zemon, why were you a hamster," Leo asked.

"I needed to pee, but I didn't want to wake up Suki, so I just turned into a Hamster," explained Zemon, shrugging.

"Is he still sleeping," asked Serena, Zemon nodded in response.

"All that fuss yesterday made him EXTREMELY sleepy," sighed Zemon.

"Understandable," sighed Temu.

"You slept in his bed as a hamster," questioned Donnie, "I mean it would save room but-"

"No. I slept with him as me, a human," stated Zemon, standing next to Emu.

"E-excuse me," squawked Donnie.

"You…slept with him," questioned Serena as Raph was basically on fire because of how angry he was.

"Yes, I did," said Zemon.

"I'm sorry, what," exclaimed Leo, blushing.

"You motherfu-" started Raph.

"Zemon, stop. You're making this sound weird," sighed Emu, massaging her forehead.

"How so," questioned Zemon, tilting his head.

"I…never mind," muttered Emu.

"Matte, watashi no otōto to sekkusu shinakatta no," asked a curious Serena.

"Nani datte?! Īe! Watashitachiha sekkusu nante shi tenai! Kekkon suru made matsu tte yakusoku shitanoni," explained a flushed Zemon.

"Ā? Sore de, suki to sekkusu suru tsumori," teased Temu.

"Tsumari...sōdesu ne. Kodomo ga yoku shi indesu," sighed Zemon as Serena looked nervous.

"What are they talking about," asked Leo, "did they have 'fun' or-"

"No," Serena said immediately, "they didn't. Zemon just worded what he said weirdly,"

"Oh, good," muttered Leo as Donnie nodded and Raph huffed.

"Yeah, good," sighed Serena, "I'm going to go find Aron."

"Hm? Oh, can I come with," asked Emu as Serena nodded.

"Yippie," Emu exclaimed getting up, "let's go!"

The two girls then walked out of the lair.

"Aron likes to sleep in," explained Temu.

"Oh," muttered Leo.

32 minutes later:

The five guys were now watching Space Hero's when…

"Kon'nichiwa? Leo, Raphie, Dee, Zemon, and Temu? Hokanohito wa doko ni imasu ka," muttered a sleepy Mikey, walking out of his room, with his hair all messed up.

"Took you long enough, sleeping beauty," laughed Raph.

"Huh," questioned Donnie, "oh hey Mikey!"

"Mikey," muttered Leo, "you look…very sleepy."

Mikey waved at his brothers. He then sat down on Zemon's lap, like a cat.

"Serenity and Emu just left to get Aron," stated Zemon.

"Oh? Makes sense, Aron does like his sleep," sighed Mikey as Zemon played with his messy hair, "are the…the dudes from the future coming?"

"I think so, my prince," replied Temu.

"What about April and Casey," asked Mikey.

"I know Case is, I don't know about April," replied Raph.

"She is," stated Donnie, "she told me."

"Of course you would know that, you simp," scoffed Raph as Mikey giggled.

"I-I am not a…a simp! Besides, I like someone else," yelped Donnie, muttering the last part.

"W-what?! WHO," exclaimed Mikey, sitting up, crawling to Donnie.

"You're going to make fun of me," sighed a flushed Donnie.

"Of course we will, we're your bros, it's our job," argued a giggling Mikey.

"Come one, spit it out," pleaded Raph, in his own way, elbowing Mikey in the ribs as he spoke.

"OW," yelped Mikey.

"Yeah, we won't judge," added Leo, ignoring Mikey and Raph.

"…Ami," whispered Donnie.

"AMI," exclaimed Mikey, holding his side.

"Ami," questioned Temu, "as in Sailor Mercury?"

"Yeah," muttered a blushing Donnie.

"I guess she's kinda cute, for you," shrugged Raph.

"I mean it makes sense, you're both smart," added Leo.

"Yeah! You two would make such a cute couple! I mean she already likes you," said Mikey.

"Wait…what," yelped Donnie.

"Yeah, Ami asked for my permission to LIKE you, such a nice girl," muttered Mikey as Donnie attempted to speak.

"Great, you broke the nerd," sighed Raph.

The six males then continued to converse when they all heard loud talking.

"Shiawasena asa," exclaimed Chibi-Usa, skipping into the lair.

"Ohayōgozaimasu. Minasan, hanasu junbi wa dekite imasu ka," asked Alura, walking into the lair.

"Eh," questioned Mikey, turning to the entrance of the lair, "Alura, and, Chibi-Usa? Oh, and Diana."

"Hiya Uncle Angelo," gleamed Chibi-Usa, "the others are on their way!"

"They are exploring the city," added a smiling Alura, "it is quite pretty during this time of year."

"Indeed," agreed Temu, "very…snowy."

"I like snow," added Chibi-Usa, sitting next to her past father.

"Do you often get snow where you're from," asked Leo.

"…dad, I'm from the moon, I believe it's self explanatory," said Chibi-Usa.

"O-oh yeah," said a flushed Leo, he wasn't used to being called "dad."

"But, we've seen snow before," stated Diana.

"Our parents make us ALL go to New York every winter," explained Alura, sitting in front of her own past father.

"Oh, interesting. And…and who are your parents," asked a curious Donnie.

"I-I uh…the…they are um," stuttered Alura as Donnie tilted his head.

"Chibi-Usa," questioned Serena walking in with Emu and Aron.

"Eh? Oh, hello," greeted Chibi-Usa, waving at the other three as Alura sighed.

"Good morning Aron," said Mikey, walking up to the three.

"Morning Suki," muttered Aron.

"You still seem sleepy," realized Mikey.

"Of course I am, these two DEMON'S, no offense Zemon, woke me up, and DRAGGED me here," sighed Aron.

"Oh please, we NEED to all talk today," sighed Emu.

"About us," asked Alura as everyone, other than her and Chibi-Usa, nodded; "sorry if we are causing trouble."

"You're not," Donnie assured, "we're all just confused, I mean, time travel is confusing. I'm still trying to wrap my head around our trip in space…"

"Oh yeah, Unc…I'm sorry, FUTURE Uncle Angelo told me about that," said Chibi-Usa.

"I did," asked Mikey.

"Yep! It was very interesting, of course Uncle Dee explained what happened in more EXACT detail," added Chibi-Usa.

"That sounds right," giggled Serena before becoming serious, "when will the others get here?"

"I don't know, I probably should…let me go contact them, brb," stated Alura, walking away into the kitchen to call August.

"What's good dudes," exclaimed Casey, white April rolled her eyes and waved.

"Hehehe, hi Casey," greeted a giggling Mikey.

"Morning Mikester," said Casey, ruffling his hair, "what's new Raph?"

"Nothing much, same old, same old," sighed Raph, smiling at his best friend.

"O-oh hello Uncle Casey, Aunt April," greeted Alura, she just finished talking with their daughter: August.

"Good morning Alura, Mrs Diana and Chibi-Usa , where are the others," asked April.

"They're on their way," replied Alura.

All nine teenagers, and one kid one cat, waited anxiously, for they all knew several secrets would be revealed.
