The Body Switch

Leon's POV
Its five in the afternoon in the lair, and everyone is off doing their own thing. Raph is playing video games with Mikey, and Don is off in his lab, doing something "sciencey" I suppose. What am I doing? I'm sneaking off to the lair entrance to pick up something April is dropping off. I pop the sewer cap open to see April waiting for me.

"Hey O'Neil got the goods?" I ask quietly making sure my brothers don't hear. "Yep got Totally Teal, Deep Sea Blue, and 10 other shades to bedazzle those nails" She says all pepped up. "Thanks April" I say with a smile. "Anytime Leon and don't forget about Plan Closet!" She shouts before I close the sewer cap and take the bag of polish.

Plan Closet is me coming out as gay to my brothers. I mean, I don't know how they're going to take it though, thats why I kept pushing it off, but today I'm finally going to do it. I take the bag of nail polish and quickly hide it underneath my bed.

"Yes dude, I'm finally about to beat D's high score!" Finally, a distraction from the constant anxiety that rambles on in my head.

I head out to the TV to see Mikey sweating up a storm. "No way your gonna beat Don's high score, you always die on this part" I say sarcastically.

"Gee thanks for the encouragement Leo" Mikey scoffs while still looking at the screen. "Anytime Micheal" I've never seen him more focused, since well, ever for that matter. "You've got this Mikey" Raph says with enthusiasm. I love how Raph is always so positive, even in our worst moments, he always makes us feel happy. Thats what I love most about him (as a brother obviously).

"Aw man, I was so close!!" Mikey screams as the TV was flashing the words "Game Over" again and again. "You'll get it next time lil' bro" Raph says sympathetically as he rubs Mikey's shoulder.

Then I hear someone's phone go off, it wasn't mine. Raph picks up his phone, so it must've been his phone that went off. Then he nudges Mikey's shoulder then points at me "What?" I ask confused. "Don get out here!" Raph shouts.

No more then 10 seconds later Donnie was here. "This better be important Raphael, if you interrupt me and my work it has to be important right? If not, then I will be very disappointed" he says in his usual somber tone.

Raph stares at me right in the eyes and says "Nardo has something that he wants to share with us" Oh crap, I feel my panic level rising more and more each second. "W-Who said that I...?" "April texted and said that you needed to tell us something" Raph says.

April, of course, I should've known that she would want me to go through with the plan. "Well.... what is it?!" Mikey asks impatiently. I take a shaky breath  "You see um.... I..." I stumble over my words. "Leon, you know you can tell us anything" Raph says calmly, Don and Mikey nod in response. I take another deep breath "You see guys... I'm" then an alert went off on Donnie's techy arm sleeve. I let out a huge sigh of relief 'Saved by the alert' I think to myself.

"Where's the signal coming from?" Raph asks. "Looks like we have some mutant activity in the junkyard" Donnie says affirmatively. "Alright let's go" I takr out my katana and make a portal to the junkyard. Everyone walls through then Raph grabs my shoulder "We can continue this talk later" I nod, but on the inside, I'm shaking.

My portal closes when all of us come through. The junkyard seems quite, too quiet. "Are you sure your calculations are right Don?" I ask. "Absolutely certain" he says with confidence. Then all of a sudden I hear a loud hiss from behind me, I know exactly who this is. Big Mama.

"Hello Turtles" she hisses "We know your here Big Mama now show your face and fight us" "Now why would I do that when I can just do this? Get them boys!" Then her minions come out "Get ready they could...." Then her minions spray us, I don't know what it is. Then when the smoke clears, they're gone. "Huh weird" I teleport us back to the lair and the nect thing I know we all crashed in our beds.
