In the underground of the city, were everything were suppose to be at peace, a loud voice suddenly rung through the walls and pipes as a rat in ropes, found three unknown girls at his smartest son's most beloved place: The lab.
This whole Saturday, Master Splinter, had been in his room meditating with his deceased owner master Yoshi, since it today was the day of his murder. Because of the meditation, Splinter hadn't been aware of what his sons had been spending the day with, and therefore had decided to go look for the four turtles. To his surprise, when he visited the lab, instead of finding males, he found a bunch of girls he never had met before
At first they all had been stared at one another, then...
"WHAT IS THIS?!" Master Splinter exclaimed.
Not few seconds later he was answered by horrified screams as the girls got up from the chairs they had been sitting in and ran out of the lab in a hurry. One after the other they stumbled over each other out to the other end of the open hall, towards a group of turtles and a girl looking shocked of the group there approached them.
"Donnie!" (D/g) cried out, rushing in to the arms of a confused Donnie.
"You've got a big pest problem!" (R/g) added on as she stopped up in front of her boyfriend.
Not much better, (M/g) hid behind MIkey breathing heavily. "There's a giant mouse here."
"A mouse...?" Leo questioned, "We don't..."
Leo never finished his sentence, as the sound of a walking-stick hit the bricks underneath them got louder, and the view of a dissatisfied father reached the 8-man group with a flickering gaze between each of the teens.
"My sons, explain this," Master Splinter ordered.
"'Sons'," (L/g) muttered to herself, wondering if what she had in mind could be the truth of the situation.
"Sensei," Raph began, but hesitated, surprisingly nervous for what really to say. "This...Uhm...This is..."
"We've taken all of our girlfriends with us home!" MIkey interrupted, grinning with a big smile to his sensei and father who had raised his eyebrows quizzingly.
"Girlfriends?" he asked, attention on his orange-masked son. "Explain yourself, Michelangelo."
"You see...This morning after our training-run, I thought I would go visit (M/g) and there I suggested her that she should come with me home, because I've been at her place a lot, and I thought it would be fun if I showed her my comics and my video-games and..."
Stopping Mikey from getting out of track, Donnie took over the explanation: "We told Mikey we shouldn't take humans home with us, but when he told us it was his girlfriend...I figured, I maybe could show my own girlfriend around our home."
Donnie send a sidegaze in the direction of Raph who sighed. "I hadn't planned showing anyone anything. But truth to be told, I had thought about it, and then the opportunity just appeared."
While the brothers told their mind, Splinter listened closely and followed the speaker with his eyes. All of the Turtles seemed nervous as speaking, but didn't back down of what they were saying. The fact his sons stood up for a action, he had forbidden, was interesting itself, and on the same time made the situation much more trustworthy.
"What do you have to say Leonardo?"
Leo hesitated for a moment till his eyes met with the ones of his brothers and newly made family. He sighed. "Master Splinter, I know, I shouldn't have gone into it," he told honestly, but continued by lifting his hand, which was locked together with (L/g)'s, up. "But we really mean what we say. They're good enough. Don't send them off, please."
The room felt silent, and for a moment the Turtles simply watched the expression of their father as his eyes on turn studied the four girls which each stood close to their respective Turtle. Unable to take the tension, (M/g) stepped away from Mikey, closer to the ninjutsu master, surprising them all greatly.
"W-We're sorry to have t-trespassing your home," she said bravely. She glanced over her shoulder to the three other girls. The two of them, she already had gotten to learn, maybe not Leo's girlfriend, but (M/g) guessed she felt the same way as the rest of them.
All three girls picked up on the look they were send. Without hesitating all four of the girls bowed simultaneously, making their request in union: "Please! Let us pay you our respects."
The brothers were stunned to their cores, while Master Splinter's face turned from serious in to milder foldes. He chuckled lighthearted, making his whiskers jump up and down. The girls looked up wide-eyed at the reaction.
"I won't send you home. Come with me, my children. I'm sure we have a lot to talk about." Splinter waved them over to the part of the main-area there seemed to be designed as a dojo, assuming from the mat-covered floor. Master Splinter went over and sat down in the Seiza-position(means sitting on your legs). The girls exchanged glances before following the example of their father-in-law. However when the brothers tried to sit, Splinter cleared his throat, stopping them. "Perhaps my sons, while we talk, will use the time on practicing their katas."
"But, sensei!" Mikey began, but never finished his whine, as he was send a strict gaze in his direction, clearly with the message that it wasn't a request.
Leo sighed, seeing the upset face of his brother. "C'mon Mike. Story-time can wait." Leo stood up and bowed to his sensei, before helping Mikey up on his feet who did the same. Raph and Don used same example and bowed, following their two other brothers to the far end of the mat.
Now that Raph's assuring present no longer were there, (R/g) felt more nervous, than she wanted to admit. Luckily her thoughts quickly was distracted to Splinter instead of herself, as he spoke:
"Let me introduce myself: I'm Hamato Splinter. Father and sensei of the boys' hearts you seemingly have won," Master Splinter presented with a soft smile. "I'd be very grateful, if I knew the stories of you and my sons."
(L/g) was the first one to answer. "My name is (L/g), sir." As she spoke, she began telling the story of how she and Leo came to know of each other.
Splinter listened closely to the story, and kept doing so as (L/g) finished and (D/g), (M/g) and (R/g) took over and told their own stories: Accidental meetings, returning visitors, months of friendship, and a final confrontation with the mutual feelings. Each of the girls were surprised by how close the brothers timing were to each other, and instead of continue their stories, the girl-talk began.
"That's so surprising did he really do that...?"
"He did! And gosh I couldn't believe how much my heart raced."
"It happened for me too."
"The timing is crazy."
"The timing isn't actually that much of a surprise," Splinter commented between the giggles, making the girls again focusing on him. "My sons are quadlings. That they share many equalitiesis are something they've done since birth."
