TMNT RPG

"Thank you so much, Akiko." Debbie smiled. "You've been very hospitable."

"Yes, thanks again mom." Leo said. "We should all be getting to bed. Come on Mikey."

"What? You have to say just my name?" Mikey frowned.

"I could see you playing your Gameboy from over there."

"Fine. Huh. I thought I lost it. Guess I just left it over here."

Tasha laughed before yawning. Jess was asleep in her arms already and she pulled out the fold-out sofa. "I'd better get these two to bed."

"Thanks for everything, guys. I mean it. Good night" Rose told them and approached Elizabeth, that was still unconscious. She grabbed her hand.

"Mmm. I think I should stay here. Just in case Eli wakes up" she murmured.

"Okay," said Akiko "Tasha, would you like help putting these two to bed. I can treat your wounds and you look exhausted."
"What happened to Veve?" asked Skyler.
"Knowing her, she's probably in her bed reading a book," said Mikey.

Tasha nodded gratefully at Akiko as she gently placed the twins on the mattress. She grimaced as she stood, a hand clapped to her shoulder.

"I think I did something to it..." She muttered as she felt it twinge again. "I probably cut it or something."

"Maybe I should examinate you too. No offense mom, I'm not doubting of your healing skills or anything. I just want to confirm if Tasha's okay" Donatello stated. Rose normal.

"It's normal that you want to do that. After all, you guys are married, right?" she murmured and everyone looked at her with a surprised face. "They're not? Well, sorry. I thought you were the babies'father, Donatello" she told him and started blushing.

"Gosh, no wonder other people know we're sisters. We both say the wrong things at the wrong time. Plus, we blush easily" Elizabeth whispered, one of her eyes still closed.

"That might be a good idea," said Akiko "So I can see to anything else that is wrong with out little patient. Hello, Elizabeth. I'm the boys and Venus's mother, Akiko. Oh, and Donatello, Tasha, remain appropriate."
"MOTHER!" screamed Don. You could hear Venus cackling in laughter upstairs in her room.

Elizabeth coughed and tried to get up.
"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. What happened? The details in my head are a bit blurry. Did...did I...Lisa kill someone?" she questioned.

Tasha ducked her head, her face a mottled pink. Her eyes blinked shut for a moment longer than they should have, and she felt herself falling forward.

"Tasha! Answer me!" Donatello yelled while grabbing her.

"Yes, you..I mean...she did. But now's not the time" Rose whispered to her sister and observed Donatello and Tasha

"Oh God!" Debbie yelped. Horrible things seemed to be constantly happening today.

Tasha's eyes opened slowly and she found herself being supported off the floor by Don. She blinked.

"D-did I just black out?" She whispered, rubbing her forehead with her tapered green fingers. It was the first time that Don had noticed that she had 3 fingers and a thumb, as opposed to their 2 fingers and thumb. Tasha' eyes slid shut again and she fainted in Don's arms.

"This is not happening! This day's just getting...ARGH! I don't even know what to say" Donatello yelled, his face full of anger and concern.

"Donnie, you okay?" asked Venus, fully clothed in a black sleep-shirt and black and pink Snoopy pajama bottoms. Then she saw Tasha. "What happen?"
~*~*~*~
"Who is Lisa?" asked Akiko.

"Yeah, I'm alright. And Tasha...well, she fainted twice, that's all" he responded.

"Lisa's another part of me. Well, not exactly but the point is that she can be dangerous and can do anything, unlike me. She hasn't manifestated in a while. Something must have happened in that fight. I...I can't sence her and...it hurts. It really hurts" Elizabeth slowly said and closed her eyes, but didn't shed any tears.

"It's okay, hun, I'm sure it does" said Akiko. "So Lisa is a split personality, who is an actual person, correct me if I'm wrong."
~*~*~*
"Do you think it's exhaustion?" asked Venus.

Alice cooed before patting her mum, or her leg, as it was the only part of her she could reach from her position on the pull-out bed.

"M...mami?" She whimpered and Don looked at her.

"I thought they couldn't speak yet." He questioned.

Debbie sighed. "She probably couldn't. There have been a lot of firsts today...well at least for me." She bent down and felt Tasha's pulse. "Her heartbeat is normal. Doni, maybe we should put Tasha on the couch."

Don nodded and gently rested Tasha beside the twins. Jess awoke and began to cry, but stopped when Alice crawled over to her and laid down beside her again.

"I don't even know what the heck she is. And I don't want to" Elizabeth explained to Akiko and got up. Then she approached the twins and grabbed both of them.
"We better put them to sleep in a quiet room. That way we can take care of Tasha and talk. Rose, you go with them. It's way past your bed time" she kindly ordered.
"But what about you?" the little girl asked.
"Relax, I'm...peachy now" Eli replied.

Alice screwed up her face when Elizabeth picked her up, but when Jess cooed softly at her she calmed down before yawning, both of them snuggling against Elizabeth. Don lifted Tasha and held her in his arms as they walked toward the spare bedroom.

"Venus, you go to bed too," said Akiko "You too Skyler."
"Okay, Mom," said Venus, knowing she couldn't eavesdrop with her mother around.
"Okay, Ms. Hamato," agreed Skyler.

Elizabeth softly opened the door of the bedroom, lay the twins in one bed and tugged them up with a blanket. Rose lay next to them.
"There. I bet they will only wake up in the morning, since they also had a tough day" she thought.
"Good night kids" she mumbled and closed the door.

Akiko laid out the bed in the living room. Mikey came up from behind and hugged his mom.
"Love you too," laughed his mom.
"I wish you could be with us in New York," said Mikey.
"Honey, you don't need both Master Splinter and I pushin' you around. You know I'm even worse than he is when you don't do you chores," said Akiko. "Why do you like it here so much?"
"The whole family lives in New Jersey, except us," said Mikey. "The baby cousins love me, so does everyone else, and you're here. I didn't even knew I had a mother until Venus showed up. That was a big portion of my life and then you had to leave to go back here. Well, to the old house, but you know what I mean." Mikey yawned.
"You're tired," said Akiko. "Why don't we talk about it in the morning. And you know what? Jacob and Arlene are coming tomorrow with the baby cousins and Grandma too. And you know what? Tommorow is Saturday and Sunday is a family birthday party day. Remember you boys were coming down on Sunday? I know you, Michelangelo, you won't feel as bad once you see everyone."
"Yeah, Mom," Mikey agreed with a smile "You're right."

(Okay, if you're wondering, I'm bringing in characters from the TMNT's crazy extended family. They'll probably be there for a second and gone at the party unless they're important and Jacob is their dead uncle's son and Arlene is his wife. They are both 24 and have 4 kids and one on the way that is due soon. You'll get to meet them once everyone gets to bed and wakes up. Grandma is their adoptive grandmother a.k.a the Ancient One's wife.)

Debbie smiled slightly at the mention of family, but it also made her sad. She figured she should find Venus' room, so she walked off towards where she thought Venus had gone. As she was walking through the house she ran into Leo.

"Oh. Hey, do you know where your sister went? I'm trying to find her room."

"I'm not sure. You should ask mom where Venus' room is though."

"Why can't you tell me?"

"I could, but then you would never get over your shyness." He smirked, walking past her.

Debbie frowned. Leo was starting to get a little annoying. She sighed and retraced her steps back towards where Akiko was.

"Um, Akiko? Where's Venus' room?"
