~ Leo's POV ~

Working on perfecting my ninjutsu training is really hard to do. I looked at the clock on the stove. it is 8 am. I need to get some rest. Grace will be here in 7 hours and thirty minutes- wait I am starting to sound exactly like Donnie. Ok I really need to get some sleep. I slowly walked down the hall towards my room. I could feel the worried glances of my other brothers. I ignored them all. I felt the remaining strength that I still had begun to ebb and leave me. Leonardo you have to have to pull through this it is only a few more steps. I urged myself. I finally made it to my room only to drop on my bed. . I couldn't go to sleep despite my physical and mental exhaustion. I decided to allow my mind to wander wherever it wished to go. I wonder what I what Grace is doing right now. THat is it My mind wants to think about Grace's perfection and what she would be doing right now. That is it! My mind just has to think about Grace! I just can't stop thinking about her. I don't want this to go away.

~ Time skip ~

I was now banging my head against my pillow. I wanted sleep but my brain kept giving me images of Grace. I decided to walk around just to do something. Wearily I sat up having much protest from my aching muscles and stood up. i nearly collapsed from exhaustion. I walked randomly around when Donnie saw me from in his lab. He walked over to me and stated with a smirk " YOu are still awake after exactly six hours and thirty minutes of extra training with Master Splinter. WHen was the last tie that you have slept?" Guiltily I looked away and put a hand behind my back and murmured " About three days." Donnie's smirk just went wider. FOr some reason this just angered me. I raised my voice and said " It is not my fault that I can't sleep after hours of training. It isn't my fault that I have to think about Grace at the randomest times! She is so perfect! She was the first human ever not to scream at the sight of us! The way her hair is so shiny and smooth I just feel as if I have to run my fingers through this. But I can't because I am an ugly mutant! She is very special! Not to mention a human! Who would give up their perfect life up on the surface to live down here!? NOt to mention that she is very smart she is going to do something very spectacular when she is older while we have to be down here so that we won't get stuck into a science lab! How could I not think of her is the real question that you should be asking me at this time!" I stopped there with a huge blush on my face and my hands covering my mouth in a n attempt to make sure that I didn't say anything more embarrassing than I already did." Donnie looked shocked because i had never ever raised my voice at him. Mournfully he said" I can relate very well. YOu feel as if without her you would die but knowing that you can't have her in real life by your side is also just as hurtful. YOu must feel like that about Grace. She is the only female that we all know about that is smart like that. You also have what I have with April. We love them with all of our hearts. I have the same problem most nights. You have it worse than I do unfortunately. I would love to help you figure this out but only you can learn to cope with this. There is just way too many things that have been suggested to help that it is very hard to narrow down. What I do suggest is that you lean yourself so you don't look like you have just risen from the dead. THey get here around three thirty and it is two thirty. I have a feeling that only Grace can help you get some mandatory sleep. I trudged to the bathroom. Ignoring Raph's raised 'eyebrow'. I looked in it leaning heavily in the counter. I looked up and stared at myself.

~ Timeskip to when Grace and April arrive later.~

( That was brought to you because it is impossible to say bubble angry. Really I have tried to say it angry and all I did was laugh for at least thirty minutes. I bet that you just tried to say bubbles and didn't have any success. ONTO THE STORY!!!)

Now that I look my normal self again. * yawn * dang it! I am still tired. I heard Grace's soft, ,kind, gentle sounding voice saying where I was. No my room is a complete disaster. (you aren't the only one Leo.) I can't allow her to see the mess. Solution leave the room. Don't be in too much of a hurry to get out of here don't be too slow either. Both of them will make it look like you are trying to hide something. I rushed out of my room reminding myself not to go too fast. I started to see her tempting red lips start to move but I didn't hear a single word that came out of her mouth. Clearing my throat a little before asking " Sorry I didn't hear that do you think that you could repeat that?" The soft smile that she always has widened even more and said " Donnie said that you needed some tips on sleeping. KNowing that I have insomnia so I deal with trying to go to sleep at a decent time so he asked if I could share them with you. He knows that I have a lot because he was before complaining of lack of focus due to lack of sleep I suggested a small cup of warm milk and honey. It might sound weird but it really works. let's go make some.

~ Timeskip to after making the milk and honey. It really helps you to relax. this is one of the interestings things that I like to do that really helps out.~

Grace was right once again. The warm milk helps you to fall asleep. Or it might be because of her presence. Either way whatever she has done really has helped me. The milk warmed just enough to relax me and then the honey in there made it naturally sweet. No I have to stay awake it is considered rude if you fall asleep when you have guests over. Nope I'm falling asleep.
