Chapter Three

The following day, Leonardo awoke to the sounds of his brothers sparring in the practice room. Fighting back a yawn, Leo hurried to the session, embarrassed and annoyed at himself. He bowed to Master Splinter, who returned the gesture with a nod, and approached Michelangelo. As was his fashion, Mikey winked and grinned at him throughout the entire routine, while at the same time managing to defeat his elder brother not once, but twice.

After about half an hour, Splinter signaled for them to switch partners. Leo could practically see Raph's curiosity emanating from him like an aura. There would have normally been a running commentary of snarky mutters had their master not been present, but the sensei allowed no talking from any of his sons during practice.

Finally, Splinter tapped his walking stick to the floor twice, thus ending the session. As his brothers exited to the shower, Leonardo knelt before his master, eyes lowered.

"I apologize for my tardiness today, master."

“Yes, yes, my son. I hope that you had a good evening. It is good to see you....happy.”

“Father?”

The wizened sensei's whiskers twitched slightly, as though he was trying not to smile. “I just mean that you seem to have an extra 'spring in your step,' today. Your brother has spoken quite highly to me about the young lady. Indeed, she must be very special-you seem as if you are forming an attachment to her.”

“I think it may come to that, father,” Leo said. “Though we haven't spent a whole lot of time together. She's known Mikey for a while, and has been trustworthy....”

“Leonardo, I have great faith your judgment. You would not endanger us all with a frivolous romantic pursuit. All I ask is that you remember to be careful, especially if it grows into something....more.”

Leonardo nodded solemnly. His master smiled now, and put his furry hand on his son's shoulder. “You deserve to be happy, my son. Remember that.” Splinter then excused his eldest son, who hurried to the showers.

After many years of sharing a tiny stall that Don had converted into a shower, everyone had agreed that something more roomy was needed. Having just been watching I, Claudius on TV, Mikey suggested a Roman-style bathhouse, complete with cold, warm, and hot baths, as well as a deluxe showering system that could easily accommodate all four of them. Donatello had drawn up the plan in a day or so, and soon he had managed to convert a few chambers of the lair into the bathhouse. It turned out to be remarkably easy to pipe clean water to any given location in the sewers, and the bathhouse provided the Turtles with a place to unwind from a difficult day or grueling practice.

When Leonardo entered the chamber, his brothers had just finished scrubbing down and were presently soaking in a hot bath.

"Well, there's our Casanova now!" Mike said happily, rising from the water to high three him. After unloading his gear, Leo began to wash himself as his brothers grilled him about last night, frequently interjecting with their own comments and impressions.

"Well, it sounds like the view was nice anyway," Donatello remarked. "Did you see Jupiter? It was supposed to be out last night."

Mikey ducked underwater for a moment, resurfacing to spit water in Raph's face. "Come on, Leo! What happened after I fell out?" he burbled.

Leo paused a moment in his scrubbing, considering how rare it was for all three of his brothers to actually listen to him. He decided to relish the moment before continuing. "Well, we just talked, really," he said at last.

"About?" Donnie prompted.

"Dunno," he shrugged, heading for the bath. "Lots of stuff, I guess. She played a song for me." He eased himself into the hot water and leaned his head back against the edge, closing his eyes.

"Sounds like you two really hit it off," Mikey sounded pleased.

"Fine and dandy." Raph interjected. "So are you a big turtle now, or what? Did you get any action?"

Without opening his eyes or altering his position, Leo replied nonchalantly. "We hardly know each other, Raph. Don't be so vulgar."

"And Miranda's a real nice girl, I'll bet," Raph snorted, the water rippling as he shook his head in annoyance. Leonardo chuckled inwardly. It's fun to irritate him.

"Well, she sounds nice," Donatello remarked. "So, when can we meet her?"

"Yeah, Leo, when are you gonna bring your lady slumming down here?" Raph asked.

"Don't you think it's a little soon to bring a stranger into our home?" Leo said, rolling his neck from side to side casually, as if the thought of bringing a new person down to the lair didn't make him exceptionally nervous.

"Well, hurry up and get to know her so we can have a party to celebrate," Mike said, jumping up and sloshing water over the rim. " 'Leonardo Gets Laid.' It can be a theme!"

"Maybe she can bring some of her friends," Raph nudged Donnie's shoulder. "You know, so your brothers can have a little fun too."

Leonardo opened his eyes to survey his brothers for a moment, considering. "I don't know Raph," he said at last, "I guess I'll have to ask her tonight. After our first date."

It was Raph's turn to roll his eyes before he got to his feet as if to exit, then reached forward to slap Leo's shell. "Well, just don't bother coming home until you get some freakin' action, Leo..." He was prevented from continuing both the jibe and the shell-slap as Leonardo suddenly leaned forward, grabbed Raph's knees and effectively dunked him underwater. Mike and Don immediately broke into peals of laughter as Raphael came up sputtering. He made to retaliate.

Chaos ensued.
