Thank you to for everyone who's favouritted and followed this story. This is the final chapter.

See chapter 1 for the disclaimer and let's crack on.

They went back into the living room. "So this is where we chill and stuff." Donnie said, waving his staff around to empathise. "We have a TV, you may have noticed it earlier. It's mainly Splinters, he likes watching soaps and stuff." Donnie shrugged and scrunched his beak up a bit. Clearly he didn't think a lot about Splinters soaps.

April nodded, looking politely around the living room. There was a bookshelf filled with various items. "What's that?" She pointed at it.

Donnie followed her hand and his eyes went a little large. "That would be Splinters so-not-touch shelf. As the name implies everything – and I do mean everything – is off limits. Including the wood. Now." He abruptly changed the subject. "If you'll be so kind as to follow me through this door…"

There was another little corridor on the other side. "I'm getting some strong Alice in Wonderland Vibes." April said, looking around.

Donnie gave a grin. "Well, thankfully you don't have to worry about the rooms getting smaller." He sighed and scratched the back of his shell with his bo-staff. "Look, I'll just keep this short. Down this side-" He pointed the staff to the left. "Is Splinters private bed-chambers, the bathroom is opposite and that door you can see at the end is the dojo. I'll show you the dojo actually, it is kinda cool…" With that he strode of.

April scurried after him and gasped upon peering into the room. It was quite large, with a mat on the floor.

It was a strange effect, normally the fact that there was nothing in a room and it was freezing to boot would mean that April would move on or not go in it. But this, she thought as she stepped inside, this was something else. It seemed to have a power about it, to be crackling with electricity though it was – of course – completely stationary.

"Yeah we only started training a little while ago." Donnie was saying behind her. "Myself, Michael and Raph."

April frowned, her thoughts about the room disturbed. "What about Leo?"

"He likes to sleep in. Splinter says we should leave him. Leo needs his rest apparently." She couldn't see him, but somehow April knew he'd be rolling his eyes.

April nodded.

"Shall we go?"

She nodded again and followed Donnie out the room.

"Now to the other side." Donnie said, taking long steps down the corridor. "As you might have figured this is where we are. We each have a bedroom to ourselves and this here-" Donnie lay his hand on the door off the other side and giggled a little madly. "-This is my lab." The giggles intensified and April found herself subconsciously stepping away.

Donnie didn't even seem to realise and opened the door, before beckoning to her. "Come in, come in. Have you ever seen a lab before?"

Apil hadn't and curiosity overcame her and she followed him in.

If she thought the dojo was impressive it was nothing on the lab.

A large table stood solitary along one wall. It was filled with beakers, books and various other implements.

There were a couple of smaller tables and filled with what looked like to April [if you wanted her honest opinion] junk. Wisely she didn't say so.

Clearly Donnie loved the place, he talked energetically about the stuff he had there, showing her different books. Being a student, April couldn't help noticing all his books were out of date. When she pointed this out, Donnie stiffened and put the books down. "Well, yes. This is all we can scavenge from the bins and shops." He scoffed. "You wouldn't believe the wonders people throw out. Non-fiction books that are more than 6 months out of date tend to be discarded. You humans are so wasteful."

"Hey, we're not all so bad!" April said, determined to stand up for her race. "Loads of people give to charity somehow-"

"-Okay, okay. I apologise. Will you come back at some point?"

April nodded. "Yes of course." She smiled. "You guys are my friends now."

I might write some more in ROTT continuity. Stay tuned!
