Tressa stood outside Donny’s lair, her arms crossed and she was getting impatient. At least she could hear almost everything that was being said.
“Look, I’m really truly sorry Leo. Okay? Nikki kept us up all night last night with her screaming and I just fell asleep.”
“That set aside! Kylee-we were supposed ta ease her into the idea of our existence! Now she’s seen the baby and our cover is blown!”
“It was gonna come out either way Leo, might as well get it outta the way right?”
“Mikey, baby, I think you and me wanna stay outta this for the moment”
“Daddy, can we play airplane?”
“Look Leo, I think we should letta off, ya know. The kid was screamin’ like crazy afta all”
“Leo, I respect your authority and all, but it’s not like you know what it’s like ta be a parent. Kids will keep you up at night-keep your shell on and give Kylee a break.”
“Oh Don’t I?! I spent my life keeping my brothers in check! Those are kids! And it’s not like me and Donny aren’t kept up by Nikki and Kylee! We can hear them all the way down here!”
“I’m with Leo on this one-Kylee you should have set a clock or something!”
“Look Don, it’s not like I was planning on a mid afternoon nap ya know! It just happened! How many times do I hafta say I’m sorry!?!”
“Kylee! We don’t know if we can trust her with this! She brings this to the public and we’ve got problems!”
“Leo, you forget, this is my sister-we can trust her.”
“Your sister just saved a species of tigers in Nigeria! Why not make herself more famous by revealing a new species of mutant turtles!?!”
“Look, my sister may be a lot of things-but I think we safely say she’s not gonna reveal you guys-‘specially since yer family now…”
“Dammit Kylee you better know what you’re doing.”
“Leo, you insult me. When do I ever know what I’m doing?”
“That doesn’t make me feel any better…”
“Leo, honey-it’s not supposed to”
The door opened and Tressa watched as her sister came out, ‘guilty’ plastered all over her face. “So I guess I have some explaining ta do huh?”
“Mmhm, yeah-starting with living in the sewer and that green thing that yer holding.” Tressa said, pointing to Nikki. Kylee put her daughter back on her hip and smiled again.
“Don’t hate me-please-just walk through the door and everything will explain itself.” Kylee rubbed the back of her head nervously-but not because her sister would be mad at her for not telling her, yet for another reason. Tressa gave her the ‘it better’ look and waltzed into the room-stopping up short, her heart stopped as Kylee walked passed her and took her place by a giant turtle in a red mask and training gear. “N-n-no…wa-a-a-ay…th-th-that’s them…f-from the show you watched…Tmnt…it’s actually them.”
“Actually they’re more MNT now…seeing as they’re not…. teenagers anymore… ya know” Kylee kicked the floor. Aside from Her and Becca, Lena was the only other human in the room. The four turtles from their childhood, and two little baby turtles with no shell. It was quite a picture. Mikey, who had been Tressa’s favorite when she ever did watch the show, had his arms wrapped around Becca’s neck and had a large smile plastered on his face. The one she remembered as Donny, was sitting at his desk looking at her nervously. Leo, who’d been her least favorite, looked at her questionably, standing in front of his family with his arms crossed-as fun as she remembered him being. And Raph-the one both she and Kylee had liked most of all-had his arm protectively over Kylee’s shoulder. The babies were playing with each other on the floor, grabbing on each other’s hands and pulling.
