Turtle H2O Series

Turtle H2O 13

One morning, Leo was taking a shower. His brother Mikey decided to pull another prank on him. He's going to switch Leo's sponge with a head of lettuce. He snuck in the bathroom. As he was reaching through to switch the items, he noticed something weird in the shower.

It looked like light blue leather. He touched it. It felt scaly. It twitched when he touched it. Leo noticed and peeked out the other end of the shower. His head resting against the tub since he can't stand. He saw Mikey reaching in the other end. He realized he's touching his tail.

In a panic, he used his ability to cover the tub with water to stop Mikey from seeing as good. That freaked Mikey enough to jump away from the tub. He could've sworn there wasn't any water in the tub like it is now. Before he could go back to take another peek, Leo yelled at him.

"Mikey! What are you doing?! Get out! Get out!" Mikey ran away as fast as he could. Mikey made it downstairs. He headed to the kitchen where the others were. They were laughing at him. "What's the matter Mikey? Leo caught you this time?"

Mikey didn't answer. He stared at his hand, trying to figure out what had just happened. "Mikey?" He looked up at them. He described what happened in the bathroom, but they didn't believe him. "I'm telling you guys, Leo's hiding something!

I know what I saw!" The more the others pondered about it, they have to admit that Leo has been acting stranger than normal. However, could they believe what Mikey told them? Before they could discuss more Raph's cell phone rang. It's Mona.

Mona is inviting everyone to the new community pool that just opened up. They all accepted happily. It was then Leo was walking downstairs to try to cover up what just happened just now. His brothers told him about going swimming with Mona and everyone else. Leo had this look of dread on his face.

"C'mon Leo! We thought you finally learned how to swim with April and Angel?" Leo couldn't look them in the eye. "I did learn how to swim. It's just that, well." Before he could finish his cell phone rang. It's Angel. She told him to meet her and the others at the beach pronto. "Sorry guys. Angel needs me, be right back."

Before his brothers could stop him, he was out the door. His brothers blinked at that. "We're not sure if we believe what you saw Mikey, but Leo has to be up to something." They will need to talk when he comes back. When Leo arrived at the beach, he found the others waiting for him.

"Leo! Thank god! We need to figure out what we're gonna do about Mona's swim invite. If we go, everyone will know we're mermaids. But if we don't go they'll think we're jerks and get pissed at us." Angel kept ranting till April covered her mouth to shut her up.

April may seem calm on the outside but she's the most worried out of everyone. She doesn't want anyone learning their secret in fear of what may happen. After not figuring out any good ideas, Gerry came up with one. "We have no choice. We'll have to sabotage the swimming pool, then book it."

The more they thought about it. That seems to be the best course of action to take. They can't go in the water without getting caught, nor could they refuse to go without getting into trouble. It's been decided to sabotage the pool. Leo returned home with Gerry in tow. He sent him upstairs while he got sodas.

Before his brothers could prod him for info on what's going on with him, he spoke up. "Hey guys, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I acted. I may have learned how to swim, but I still get anxious about being in the water. But, I'm willing and ready to go swimming with you guys."

His brother Mikey gave him a hug. "No problem bro. We're stoked that you're finally going to be swimming with us dude. You know, we've always wanted to go swimming with you when we were younger but unable to." Leo felt a tad guilty about having to sabotage the pool now.

"You guys have always wanted to swim with me?" All his brothers nodded. "But I thought you guys hated me because I never wanted to get near the water?" Mikey pulled back in surprise. "What? Bro, no? We never hated you. Maybe got annoyed but never hated you.

Dad talked to us one time. He said that we can't make you face your fear. Only you yourself can." He hugged him again. "We're just glad that you finally conquered your fear. Now we can have our first ever swim with you." Leo smiled at them.

As he was walking upstairs, Mikey asked him about that morning. Leo turned to see him looking mischievous at him. "Mikey, you must've been seeing things with the steam. There was nothing wrong in the shower." Mikey insisted. "Then why was your head resting on the tub hmm?"

Leo kept walking. "I dropped my soap! Is that a crime?!" He went to his room to discuss about ways of sabotaging the pool with Gerry. After what seemed like forever, the day finally came. All the mermaids had bought swimwear to match their tails and bras the best they could. That way if they ended up in the water it won't be noticeable right away.

April had a yellow two-piece. Angel had a purple two-piece. Leo wore blue trunks. Gerry has grey trunks. They couldn't find silver so grey will have to do. Everyone was awestruck by how great they looked in swimwear. With all their swimming they are in good shape.

Mikey wore orange trunks. Raph had red trunks. Donny wore purple trunks. Casey had black trunks. Mona is wearing a pink one-piece. Raph was in love with her in it. When all their stuff has been set aside, it was time to get to work.

Leo was about to shrink the water in the pool, when his brothers came to him exuberantly. "Leo! Ready for our first swim together?!" They were pushing him towards the pool. He was struggling to get away but to no avail. It was then he fell into the water.

Angel and Gerry saw him. "Oh no! Leo's in the water! He's in the water!" They noticed April wasn't with them. After looking around they saw that she too ended up in the water. Casey popped out of nowhere and spooked her. Thus, she stumbled in the water.

She and Leo shared a look of horror and only kept their heads visible so no one can see their tails. Everyone has joined them in the water. They were having a blast. Gerry saw Mona looking for him but he hid so he couldn't get in the water like the others. Using his powers, he made the pool into a gel substance but no one could move.

That wasn't going to work, they need to get Leo and April out without being seen. It's then Angel used her powers to boil the water. Some people left the pool after freaking out with that, but there were still people in the pool. Inside the pool, April saw an outlet and got an idea.

"Leo, get water into the outlet there." Leo looked surprised. "Isn't that dangerous April?" She grabbed his shoulders. "We're running out of options here!" Sighing he got some water to move from the floor into the outlet. Sparks came out then flames. The lifeguards had to get everyone out of the water.

It didn't take long with seeing them trying to put out the fire with fire extinguishers. While everyone got out of the pool, Angel and Gerry ran to help Leo and April out of the water. They handed them towels to cover their tails. They found a place to hide till they were normal again. They made their way to the others.

The pool had to close after that for everyone's safety. Everyone else was disappointed while the mermaids were relieved. That's until Mona had her own idea. "Cheer up guys. We can still go swimming at the beach!" Everyone cheered happily, heading to the beach. The mermaids grew worried again. Gerry faced them. "Don't panic! I happen to have the ability to talk and control sea life.

How about a shark making an appearance?" He ran with the others on his tail. Leo tried to call out to them. "Guys wait! I think that's a bad idea! Guys!" He ran after them thinking of the possible disaster that's about to unfold at the beach.
