Mindy went into the basement and saw the 'disaster twins' sleeping on the cold floor. She walked up to them and asked. "Hey, are you guys dead?"

"Uhh, yes... Now go away." Donnie mumbled sleepily with a dismissive hand.

"Did you guys seriously break the rules just to have a sleepover?" Mindy asked dryly as she poked Leo's cheek until...

"I'M NOT GOING BACK TO JAIL!" Leo woke up in a frenzy. "Oh hi Mindy." He said as all of the panic from the dream washed away.

"Huh? What's going on?" Donnie wakes up with a yawn as his hat falls off.

Mindy gasps in utter shock at the reveal of Donatello being a turtle.

"What, is there something on my face?" Donnie asked anxiously.

"G-giant t-t..." Mindy was at a loss for words.

"Well, it looks like the jig is up." With a shrug, Leo started to take his shirt off.

Donnie's eyes widened in fear as he swiftly put the red eared slider's arms back down. "Whoa! I don't think 'either' of us want a restraining order here." He proclaimed sharply.

"Relax, I got my gear under this." Leo explained with a simple shrug.

Feeling completely overwhelmed, Mindy faints straight to the ground.

"Ah-ha! You see? You blew your cover." Donnie pointed out.

Leo rolled his eyes with an amused grin. "Guess I'm just...*puts on sunglasses* too hot to handle." He announced out loud like a total bad boy that's got nothing to lose.

"Stop that!" Donnie demanded as he took the sunglasses away. "Besides, if anyone's the 'hot one' it's me."

"Thought you were the 'smart one'." Leo retorted with a cheeky grin.

"Who says that I can't... *puts on sunglasses* do both." Donnie retaliates like one smooth, cool cat.

"Pfft, only in your dreams." Leo muttered with a dismissive hand.

Later:

In one of the hotel's bed rooms, Mindy was currently sound asleep on the twin bed by the window.

Donnie strolls to her side with water and whispers. "Hey Mindy, it's getting late... So wake up!" He splashed the cup of water to her face.

"Ahhh! What's going on?!" Mindy instantly wakes up in a hazed frenzy.

"You wouldn't wake up. So we dragged your unconscious body to our hotel room while no one was looking." Donnie explained plainly.

"Dude, could you make that 'sound' any creepier?" Leo asked rhetorically as he came in with a cup of tea.

"What was wrong with that? I was just stating the facts." Donnie rebutted.

Ignoring the softshell, Leo sat next to Mindy. "Look. Basically, we're just your friendly neighborhood turtles that want to help. And we would very much appreciate it if you don't tell anyone that we exist." He carefully explains to the girl.

"Or we'll track you down!" Donnie yelled right up to Mindy's face.

"In the most non threatening way possible, of course." With a nervous chuckle, Leo pulled his twin away from her. "So what do you say, we save your job and you keep all of this 'weird stuff' to yourself?" The fearless leader concluded by handing her tea as a peace offering.

"Umm, ok?" Mindy hesitated before accepting the tea.

"Glad to hear." Leo flashed her a lovely smile. "You see, I told you we didn't need a mindwipe serum." He quietly chastised to his twin.

"Aww, you never let me shine." Donnie dramatically sat down at the other bed with cross arms and a pout.

"Um, sorry to interrupt but... what happened to my boss's ferrets?" Mindy question.

"Don't worry, we'll get them back as soon as it's dark outside. In the meantime, we can all just hang out while I think of a plan." Leo reassured as if he was a knight in shining armor.

"Wow, you're acting surprisingly calm about all of this." Donnie deadpanned.

"Hey, I'm the leader now. Thinking of a strategy with a 'serious face' is kinda my thing now." Leo declared with pure moxy as he scooted closer to Mindy. "It's no big deal for a brave and strong champion like myself." He winked.

Rolling his eyes, Donnie spats out. "If I were you, I would be 'freaking out' right now."

"Oh, why is that? Are you jealous of my raw charisma?" Leo whip his long mask tails back with a cocky smirk.

"Pfft, hardly. It's just that I wouldn't want anyone searching my phone's history." Donnie scoffed.

"Oh snap! You're jealous!" Leo howls of uncontrollable laughter.

"That's not what I said." Donnie argued plainly.

"Am I dreaming or did this just become the best day ever! Cause trust me Mindy, the more you get to know Donnie; the fussier he gets." Leo quipped.

"Ugh, how dare you. Just for that, I'm not speaking to you." In a huff, Donnie storms off.

"Haha! Oh, if I had known this was going to happen I would have asked Splinter to-" Leo joked until... "Wait. What do you mean by 'phone's history'?!" He shouted inquisitively.

Being unable to leave a question unanswered, Donnie came back to say. "It's the thing that lets people see everything you did on your phone!"

But Leo's face was still drawing a blank.

"*sigh* It's called the 'search history' button." Donnie strained to say as slowly as possible.

"Oh..." Now understanding, Leo nodded his head but then his eyes widened in horror. "*gasp* Um... Oh! Would you look at that? It's time to go!" He said with a big old nervous smile as sweat started to drop from his face.

"But the sun is barely setting." Donnie pointed out.

"It's dark enough! Let's go!" Leo got up in a panic.

"Did the title of 'leader' get to your head or is that just your dignity being threatened?" Donnie commented slyly.

"I said move Donnie!" Leo ordered as he literally shoved Donnie out the door.

"My whole career is based on these silly turtles finding a couple of weasels. Pfft and teachers say being an actress is a risky business." Mindy muttered before taking a sip of the tea.
