Heya Readers! I hope you're all looking forward to Christmas! It always seems to come really fast for me, I don't know how but it always does.

It's been rather challenging this week as I've been trying to recover from a cold and get things ready for Christmas, but then the phone lines and internet went down! Torture!

I've still be able to write despite all these things and find some way to get online using a dongle plugged into my laptop and I'm able to get my first chapter of my new Christmas fic up!

Note: If you haven't read Tyroth Darkstorm's fics 'Mutant Vigilanties' or 'Ancient Legacy' or my fic 'A Dangerous Captive' you might not know certain things in this story so I recommend you read them before reading this fic.

Also the characters Tyroth and Sephie belong to Tyroth Darkstorm.

Get ready for some festive fun and comedy as the turtles, Mona, Tyroth and Sephie get ready for Christmas and surprise their friends on Christmas Eve in Tyroth and Sephie's home, Mutopia!

A Christmas Surprise

Chapter One

Start of the holidays

It was a cold evening in December and the turtles, Splinter and Mona were in their lair below New York City.

The lair was decorated up with holly and tinsel and the Christmas Tree was up and sparkling, but despite the lair looking different in appearance, the daily routine was still the same.

Splinter had the turtles and Mona lined up in the Dojo to practice their daily ninjutsu and was calling out names of the different punches, kicks and blocks and tapping his stick as he did.

The five reptiles meanwhile did all the moves Splinter called out, all sweaty and yelling out as they performed.

"And finish!" Splinter barked slamming his stick on the ground.

At once, the turtles and Mona faced him and bowed with their hands together and the turtles collapsed in exhaustion.

Mona meanwhile slid to the ground a little more gracefully and stretched her legs out.

"Well done my Children." said Splinter.

The turtles said nothing but panted and tried to get their breath back.

"Phew..." gasped Michelangelo "that was hard!"

"No shit!" said Raphael.

Donatello as he was kneeling on the ground checked his watch.

"We better get cleaned up guys, Tyroth and Sephie will be here soon!"

"Good idea Don..." said Leonardo.

"First dibs on the bathroom!" Michelangelo shouted, but Mona leapt up and jumped before him blocking his way.

"Ladies first!" she said with a smile before she walked towards the bathroom making the other turtles look annoyed.

After everyone was cleaned up, Leonardo went into the living area to read and listen to his Ipod, Michelangelo had gone to make everyone some lunch, Donatello had gone into his Lab and Mona and Raphael went into the living area and turned the TV on whilst Splinter went to his quarters to meditate.

They had only barely just sat down when the lair opened and in came Tyroth the Dragon and his Gecko Girlfriend Sephie.

"Merry Christmas!" they shouted loudly making almost all of them jump.

"Tyroth! Sephie!" cried Michelangelo coming out of the kitchen excitedly "Great to see you!"

"Heya!" Mona called "Was your journey alright?"

"A breeze!" said Sephie walking over to Mona and hugging her "Well it was freezing outside! But the city did look quite lovely all snowy!"

"Cool!" said Mona pleased "You want some hot drinks? I think Mikey was making us all some hot chocolate."

"We'd love some! Thanks!" said Tyroth "Well, I can easily heat myself, but still some hot chocolate sounds lovely!"

"Coming right up!" said Michelangelo as he headed back into the kitchen.

As he did, Donatello, Raphael and Leonardo came up to Tyroth and Sephie and greeted them.

"So glad you were able to come for the first half of Christmas here!" said Leonardo.

"Yeah!" said Donatello "And we're really excited to spend Christmas in Mutopia!"

"You said it!" said Raphael "Our first Christmas with loads of Mutants! It's gonna be something really new!"

"I can't wait to see the gang again!" said Mona "We got loads of catching up to do!"

"Indeed!" said Tyroth "The Chicago Knights have been asking about you and can't wait for you all to spend Christmas with us!"

"If this is going to be a regular thing?" asked Michelangelo who came out of the kitchen with a tray of hot chocolate for everyone "We'll be celebrating two Christmases?"

"If that's the way of looking at it..." said Sephie with a grin "Then yeah!"

"Whoot!" Michelangelo cheered "Double the presents! Double the food! Double the Booze!"

Mona laughed as she took her chocolate and pinched Michelangelo's cheek affectionately making Michelangelo blush and chuckle.

After the turtles, Mona, Tyroth and Sephie took their hot chocolate they all began to walk to the TV area.

Michelangelo was already babbling away about how excited he was about Christmas and all the plans they had now that Tyroth and Sephie had joined them.

"We got Christmas movies to watch, and as it's snowing we can go and have snowball fights and build snowmen!" Michelangelo squealed "It's gonna be great!"

"Calm down Mikey!" said Donatello "Give Tyroth and Sephie some air,they've only been here a few seconds, don't overwhelm them!"

"It's alright Don." said Sephie with a smile "We always look forward to seeing Michelangelo so excited!"

Michelangelo grinned again and sat on the sofa with his hot chocolate. Tyroth sat on the other sofa with Sephie whilst Mona sat on the armchair near them so she could talk to Sephie, the others sat on the sofa and armchairs on the other side so they could talk to Tyroth.

"Love how you've decorated the place!" said Tyroth as he looked at the decorations around the lair.

"Thanks!" said Leonardo "We all worked hard to make it look nice, and we always enjoy making it look nice!"

"I think it's great!" said Sephie.

"Where's Splinter by the way?" asked Tyroth looking around for the old rat but couldn't see him.

"He's resting at the moment." said Leonardo "He retired to his quarters not long before you arrived, he'll be out soon and you can say hi to him then."

"Best not disturb him then." said Sephie "I mean you know Gramps likes to have his rests and doesn't like to be disturbed."

"Indeed." said Tyroth with a nod.

"So how are things anyway?" asked Raphael "Everyone doing okay in Mutopia?"

"Well, it's the same really." said Tyroth "Well we're all getting ready for Christmas! The whole place looks amazing! We're able to get what we need to get the place ready! We got trees! Lights decorations and everything! Puts all the other yearly celebrations to shame!"

"Though you should see the place at Halloween!" said Sephie "We got all sorts of scary things hanging everywhere and pumpkins! Not to mention all the candy!"

"Candy!" said Michelangelo excitedly "I love Candy!"

"You should join us in Mutopia next time we have Halloween there!" said Tyroth "It'll be fun!"

"Sure thing!" said Leonardo "Often during Halloween it gives us the perfect opportunity to walk amongst the public."

"Perfect excuse too!" said Donatello.

"Yeah!" said Raphael.

"And with the humans not suspecting a thing!" said Michelangelo.

"I think you'd do well with the kids at Halloween!" said Mona looking at Tyroth "With what you look like! The kids will be begging to have their picture taken with you!"

Tyroth looked up as he imagined all the kids in New York running up to have a look at him on Halloween and asking for a picture with him then bragging to their friends how they met a Dragon whilst trick or treating.

"We gotta do that!" he said to Sephie, "I think the kids will love it!"

"Remember that Nightclub those months back?" asked Raphael "When we went to that Fancy dress night and you won first prize?"

"Yeah!" said Tyroth "I remember! I also remember a girl dressed as Snow White wanted her picture taken with me."

"I recall that!" said Donatello "That was funny and cool at the same time."

"Well, we got a lot planned for when you're down here!" said Michelangelo "So might as well get started!"

"I'll drink to that!" said Mona.

"Ditto!" said Donatello.

"Indeed!" said Tyroth raising his cup and everyone clinked their cups with his saying 'Cheers!'

So it looks like the turtles, Mona, Tyroth and Sephie have a lot planned this Christmas! Stay tuned to see how they get on!
