Tales of Blue

Paws, Jaws, and Girl Troubles

"I spyyyyy somethinggg... Blue!"

"Is it Leo's bandana again Mikey?"

"Awwhhhh! No fair!"

Glancing back in the mirror Casey frowns seeing how bored the turtles look, staring out the back window or the walls. They try to entertain themselves... Mainly Mikey, but the youngest already read all his comics. Master Splinter isn't with them to keep them company either, unfortunately, the old rat went ahead with April a few days ago to do some cleaning stuff the farmhouse before their arrival.

Ignoring Mikey's whining, Raph gets up, unintentionally being silent and approaches their driver. "How much further?" Raph asks, suddenly popping up beside the teen. Yelping, Casey swerves on the empty road, nearly taking out a road sign and sending Raph crashing into the very back of the van. That will leave a dent.

Straightening out as fast as it had started, Casey looks back to see everyone thrown in a pile of limbs and groans, glaring at him. "Uh heh heh, sorry, I'm not all here right now..." Glancing down at the GPS, it says twenty six more minutes before they reach the farm house. "You guys only have less than half an hour left. Just relax, I got this!" He chuckles patting the wheel.

"Right," The turtles mutters.

They'd seen how he drove on the highway and suddenly understood why April and Sensei wanted to "go on ahead" before them. Leave them with the crazy driver. "This vacation away for a week is turning into something out of I shouldn't be alive," Mikey moans flopping down on his stack of comics thrown all over.

"At least you weren't forced to come," Leo grumbles, crossing his arms. Ignoring the looks he gets at his cold words, Leo knows he's been silent and brooding this entire trip up. At least that was his first complaint when he could've been as annoying as Mikey.

Without looking at the others, Leo closes his eyes pretending to be trying to meditate. They know it's useless to try arguing with him then. He hadn't wanted to come on this trip, the weather is changing, becoming colder. They should be preparing not going out into the woods to do whatever on vacation or whatever. He feels like this is just an excuse for his brothers to skip out on training. The time they need it the most.

"Gosh, even Leo's cranky now," Mikey whispers to Donnie. "He's just tired, we all are," The older of the two replies, watching Leo pretend to meditate.

"We've been on the road for hours," Raph sighs, fidgeting with his T-phone, it had died an hour ago. Since then he's had to deal with listening to Mikey cry and whine about his phone dying two hours ago, refuse to read any comics twice, and Donnie trying to find someway to charge his own. The Vans old, it's not like the Shell-raiser or any other vehicles Donnie created. Leo's is the only one still charged, as it always is, but Leo isn't even paying attention anymore, he's meditating... Again.

"Geez dude, meditate any harder and you'll end up stuck in the spiritual plane," Raph chuckles reaching forward to poke Leo's face. Catching his wrist, and taking the slightly younger by surprise, Leo smiles without opening his eyes. "Perhaps that's the idea?" Which promptly earns him his youngest brother tackling him and shouting, "Don't you even dare!"

"I won't!" Leo groans, pushing the orange clad turtle away by the face. Glaring equally as much as the youngest, Donnie sits directly beside Leo, nodding for Raph to keep Mikey company. "Oh come on Don, you know I'm not seriously going to do that, you guys and Sensei would drag me back and then send me into the afterlife if I tried something stupid like that," Leo says seeing Donnie's Serious face coming on.

Truth be told, Leo didn't want to come on this trip, not at all. He planned on getting a ton of cleaning done, get in lots of practice, load up the fridge and dry stock in everyone's absence before winter hits. Taking a "vacation" now, is just worthless in his eyes.
