~ Third POV ~

Everyone was in front of the television set occasionally looking over at Leo and Grace who looked fast asleep. Mikey, Raph Donnie, and Master Splinter were all thinking " Does Grace have a sleeping perfume on her. I have never seen Leo sleep so much." April was thinking " Awe!!! They are so cute together! ... How is Leo keeping Grace asleep for so long? It must be the soap that he uses. I should ask what scent it is. That way Grace can actually sleep like a normal human being for once. Never mind don't do that it would just make this even more awkward than it already is. Oh well Grace can survive her insomnia. A little while later Mikey was the one to breakdown from the lack of noise. He jumped up and quietly exclaimed " I can't take this anymore. I am waking them up please stop me if you don't want me to do it." He stood up and without any interruption went over to Leo and whispered to Leo " Hey Leo you have to get up and train." Leo sleepily responded " Go away Mike this pillow is finally comfortable and it smells really nice." When he was done he pulled Grace closer and buried head further in Grace's hair and went back to sleep. Everyone else was trying to hold in their laughter. Even Master Splinter. When they finally calmed down enough to talk April suggested " Hey I'll try to wake up Grace. This is the first time that I have had to do it when she wasn't sick" April stood up and walked over to her replacing Mikey's spot and brushed Grace's hair away from her ear. When she took a breath Grace mumbled" April please don't touch my hair. You can easily make toast for breakfast okay? I will make it up to you later. Possibly something better for lunch than the sandwiches that I have planned. Tomorrow will be the pop-up pancakes ( This is a real recipe just to let you know.) You should know not to wake me up. Goodnight. I will see you later. Remember please don't stick another fork or knife in the toaster trying to get the burnt piece of toast out if the toaster ... again. I don't want to fix you and the toaster once again. The first five times were accidents but when it reaches the close to a hundred it gets a little bit old. Goodbye." She nuzzled closer to Leo and went back to pretending to sleep. All of the turtles excluding Leo was shocked. They thought that all girls and women could cook. April was shocked from embarrassment. The last accident only happened a whole half year ago. A long time ago. Mikey put on his thinking face on and started to approach Grace and Leo once again. This time he whispered" Leo ... Dude that is not a pillow it is Grace. you are suddling her right now. You said that she smells good too. You are the last awake." That did absolutely nothing to get a response from him again.

~ Raph POV ~

Ugh WAKE UP ALREADY LEO! Cuddling with Grace can't be that different from secretly cuddling your pillow. That is it. He needs a good shout from the living room floor in a panic filled voice " Leonardo Grace was just captured by the kraang . onnie has figured out that they are going to mutate her soon. I will tell her that you were here just laying on the couch when she need you to save her!" I allowed some anger to get in my voice at the end. The reaction was immediate. Leo jumped up yelled in my face?' Come on we have to save her now! What are we doing still in the lair?" He didn't wait for anyone to follow him when he left the lair. I looked to where Grace would be. She was there on the floor looking towards where Leo ran out in a huge huff. Than she looked back to me with her eyebrow raised. I gulped in nervousness. She asked me " Don't you think that was a bit harsh?" I looked down before she could burst out in laughter. I was totally confused as to why she was laughing her head off. I looked towards Donnie in hopes that he would be able to explain this. When I looked at him I managed to catch his eye and he shrugged in reply to my unspoken question .By now both April and Mikey had joined in Grace's laughter.

~ Donnie's POV ~

I will absolutely never understand the complex emotions of a female. First Grace looked as if she was going to exterminate Raph before she started to laugh...on the floor. The exact opposite mood of anger. It is just so confusing how one minute a girl could be ready to pull off your head than the next she could be laughing. Confusing. Even Master Splinter is chuckling at the same thing. Why is it that only Raph and i seem to be the ones confused about what has happened? What is so funny?!

~ Leo's POV ~

The way that Raph had screamed about how Grace was in danger set my nerves in fire and I had to go and help her. Even though I could feel her still lying on my plastron. I probably made myself look like a complete idiot. In front of Grace that is even worse. After a few minutes I of thought I decided to keep up the pretenses that I really thought that I was snuggling with an average pillow and not my precious Grace. Just the way that she snuggled closer to me when April tried to wake her up sent excitement coursing through my veins. I nearly choked in surprise when I felt her warm breath in my neck. After all a turtle's neck is the most sensitive spot on their entire body. I decided to run back to the lair after another moment of thought. It took longer than I would have liked. I ran into the lair jumping over the turnstiles that was in the entrance. I ran once again to Raph and yelled in his face " Where is the kraang lab!" Before he could unleash his famous temper on me Grace appeared between us with a calming hand on each of our plastrons. With a small smile on her flawless face she turned to me and kindly told me " I am completely fine. No kraang droids captured me ...  again. Everyone was just trying to wake us up." She paused to hug me. I tensed up in surprise. " Thank you for your concern." She stepped away and released the hug. Immediately I wished for her arms around me once more. She walked back to April to watch the news. I looked back at Raph who had the world's biggest smirk plastered on his face. He than stated quietly" You like-like Grace don't you?" Nervously I chuckled at his assumption. If possible his smirk grew. " That face that you have on right now tells me everything that I need to know." With that he left to feed Spike. Oh no he found out! What do I do now! I'll figure it out later. Mikey just called me over for some reason.

~ Grace's POV~

I know for a fact that everyone in the lair has seen Leo and I cuddling together. I just am thanking my lucky stars that they think that we were sleeping. Leo it is doubtful that he was sleeping the way his heart was hammering in his chest. His breathing was slow it didn't help at all. I still can't believe that Raph would do something like that to his brother. It is very typical. If it was Donnie and April sleeping on the couch instead of Leo and things would have been the same. At least this morning has been useful of one thing. It shows that Leo worries about my personal well being. Mikey called over Leo for some reason. I know that he won't go back on any promise ever. From what I have heard about The accident fifteen years ago I have a sneaking suspicion that the Shredder is still alive.

~ Mikey's POV ~

Oh wow Leo you jump up to save a woman that is laying right on top of you. That is just too funny. Ever since the news broadcasted the ninja throwing star on the news we have made a habit of watching it. They all still speculate about who could be the ninja or ninjas. I laughed out loud not one would be thinking of a turtle behind that throwing star. " Hey leo !" I called out. I want to tell him how hilarious this is.
