So I've started a new story and would really love to know what everyone thinks, please R&R and hope everyone has a great New Year.

Ch 1 A Mission Derailed.

"Alriiiiight!" The loud voice of a dark green turtle with green eyes yelled out triumphantly from the back of an alleyway as he along with three other turtles made their way out onto the street. "Did you see the way those purple dragons ran away from us?" He asked them laughing while he twirled his sais.

"Purple Dragons?" His youngest brother with the light blue eyes chortled, "They should change their names to Yellow Chickens!" He twirled his nun chucks and laughed heartily.

"Ah yeah, nice one Mikey," His slightly older brother with the brown eyes laughed along with him as he twirled his Bo staff, "You know they'll be thinking twice before they attempt to mug someone again."

"Okay guys," Their older brother walked around them, sheathed his swords and put his jacket on to cover them up, "Now that we've had our fun busting heads, crime fighting and putting bad guys in their place," He punched the air a few times in triumph, "It's time to continue with the mission."

"Always the life of the party, huh Leo," His red clad brother rolled his green eyes at him as he and the other two turtles placed their jackets on to cover up their own weapons.

"Someone has to keep you guys focused Raphael," Leo retorted back. He brought his hand to the back pocket of his blue jeans and pulled out a wallet. He opened it up and began counting the money that lay within, "Okay guys, we have twenty five dollars, more than enough to buy Sensei a new teapot," He glared at Mikey who ducked his head slightly into his shell, "But not enough to buy that new robe we wanted to get him."

"For the hundredth time I'm sorry," Mikey said in exasperation, "It's not like I meant to knock it off the stove."

"You did bang into it pretty hard Mikey," Donnie shook his head, "You would've had to considering how badly damaged it got."

"True," Leo said as the four turtles walked down the street, "But he wouldn't have knocked if off the stove if someone hadn't slammed into him," He now glared at Raph.

"I wouldn't have slammed into him if he hadn't put that cockroach down my shell." Raph said, glaring back at him.

""I wouldn't have put the cockroach down your shell if you hadn't been trying to take my comic book away from me," Mikey said as he stuck his tongue out at him.

"I only did it because Donnie dared me to," Raph crossed his arms and glared at his taller brother.

"You didn't have to do the dare Raph," Donnie told him.

Leo rolled his eyes at them, "You know, the way you guys act, no one would ever guess we're over the age of twenty four." He turned away from them and started walking down the street, "But regardless of how it happened, we now need to get Splinter a new tea kettle instead of the new robe we were hoping to save up for so let's go check out that new store, ummm," He tapped his chin thoughtfully, "The O'Neil Antique Store, and see what we can find." Leo said as he stepped up his pace.

The turtles got to the store and walked in, looking around, they were surprised to see how busy the antique store was with people making their way quickly around checking out all the store had to offer.

"Maybe we should ask a salesperson where their tea kettles are." Leo muttered as his eyes scanned the many aisles, "We don't want to be here any longer then necessary."

While his three brothers checked nearby aisles, Leo made his way over to where a young girl with red hair and a yellow shirt was kneeling by a box, busily placing vases on a shelf. "Excuse me ma'am," He said as he made his way up to her.

The young girl stood and looked at him with a sweet smile and shimmering blue eyes, "Yes, may I help you?"

Leo's jaw slacked open slightly as his gaze fell upon the pretty red head with the gentle smile, "Uhhh, um, I uh," Leo stammered as he walked slightly backward to where his brothers had been standing.

"Leo?" Raph turned away from a rack of books and looked at his brother in bewilderment as the blue clad turtle pointed toward the young girl and stammered uncontrollably, "What's the matter with you?" He demanded. He turned in the direction Leo was pointing and, as his gaze fell upon the young girl who was looking at them, he found himself completely taken in by her.

"Uhhh, I um," Raph attempted, but the words would not come out.

"Can I help you find something?" The young girl asked again.

"What is going on with you guys?" Mikey demanded as he walked up to them, "Did you ask someone where the teapots were?"

"Uhhh, ummm, I..I…" Leo and Raph continued to stare at the salesgirl while attempting to speak incoherently.

Mikey scratched his head in bewilderment at their strange behavior. He finally followed their gaze and looked over at the young girl with a puzzled look staring back at them. "Oh wow," He muttered as he joined with his brothers at stammering and gawking awkwardly at the pretty redhead.

"Hey guys, I found coffee cups down aisle five," Donnie said, "I think the tea kettles are somewhere around there."

"You'll find the tea kettles in aisle six," A sweet young female voice with a lilt told him.

Donnie turned toward the voice and found himself staring into blue eyes that sparkled brightly at him. "Uhhh," Donnie attempted to respond but he, like his brothers found himself completely mesmerized by the young red hair girl with the freckle pixie face.

"Is there a problem here April," A tall man with a balding head and a red beard made his way over to her.

"I don't know daddy," April responded, "I've attempted to help them but all they do is just stammer and stare at me."

April's father shook his head at the four turtles and coaxed his daughter toward a couple waiting at the cash register, "You help them," He told her pointing to the couple, "I'll take care of them."

April picked up the still half full box of vases and turned toward the counter where a young couple was currently placing a basket full of items by the register. She set her heavy load down and immediately went to work quickly adding up their items and placing them in bags with a cheerful attitude.

After April had walked away, her father watched with narrowed eyes at the young turtles as they stared at his daughter practically mesmerized. He quickly stood in front of them to block their view of her and leaned in close, "Is there something you need gentlemen?" He asked with a frown.

The four turtles attempted to look around April's father but when it was clear he would not step aside, they finally snapped out of their stupor and looked up at the red bearded man with reddening cheeks, "Uh, we were looking for a tea kettle," Leo finally said.

"You'll find them in aisle six," He told them with a sharp nod, "I'll be waiting at the cash register when you're ready," He was just about to turn and walk away but stopped and glared at them, "And by the way, a gentleman does not stare at a lady." He told them adamantly.

Donnie frowned at the tall bearded man, "A beggar can look at a queen," he called after him causing the man to turn and glare angrily at him.

Red faced with embarrassment, the four turtles quickly found a tea kettle to purchase, paid for it then left the establishment under the watchful eye of April's father, Kirby O'Neil.
