Between a Rock and a Hard Shell

Two turtles down, two more to go. Brooke was beginning to get convinced that Pete wasn't going to show up until she'd had a go with each of the turtles.

The first time, there had been the horrible failure of a pizza. The second time had gone considerably better, if somewhat cryptic.

Third time was the charm, right? At least, Brooke hoped it was. Rachel was going to kill her if she didn't follow through with this, and the last thing that Brooke wanted was to be incinerated by whatever spark of the Phoenix it was that Rachel possessed.

So, here Brooke was, this time armed with a picnic basket - really, food was the only way that Brooke could figure out a way to connect with a teenage mutant - and a smile on her face.

Once more, she knocked on Pete's door and waited.

He took the cherry limeade and took a sip. He smacked his lips slightly. That was tasty.

"Mm. We're all parts of Pete. We'll always be here. Little dude needs to eat it less." He considered Brooke. "Ever seen Kung Fu Panda?"

"Call it turtle research. Oogway is the best character ever." Porthos cracked a grin. He loved that old master. He'd even sniffled at the old turtle's ascent.

"Call it martial arts turtle research, dudette. It couldn't hurt. Then watch Finding Nemo. It's pretty tubular. Particularly Crush."

His grin didn't disappear. It actually got a little wider. "Wahine lemme let you in on a not-so-secret."

He waved for her to lean closer as he adjusted his posture to do much the same. Close but nowhere near touching. He used a stage whisper.

"If he's awake, he sees and hears what we sense. If he knows you're clucked around fine specimens like myself? He's got a rickt defense. So, pull up ya baggies and chillax into the turtle way."

"Best way not to get stuffed," he agreed. Brooke had a reputation around the school. Porthos wasn't one to judge a person until he met them, but Pete could have been a different story. Particularly as he was a bit skittish to begin with.

The surfer turtle sat back and nodded. "Wanna catch him during a jag, you gotta work to be part of his crew."

Porthos shrugged. "Not sure, but mutants freak him out."

He took the sandwich and glanced at the mansion. "Also, high school. Everybody chatters. So mutants in school? Scary times two."

He took a bite out of the sandwich. He gave her a tasty thumbs up as he chewed.

The turtle ate his sandwich. He paused between bites.

"Not sure, but you swim to the same wave everyone else here goes to. He surfs a different one."

He shrugged and finished up his sandwich. "What's being a mutant cost you?"

He grabbed his cherry limeade and took a big sip.

"He's got some serious pucker factor. Me? It's all good. The glass axe don't hang over my head. Don't let it get you down, wahine. Just use it to forecast which wave to rip."

He snagged one of the cupcakes. He eyed it to make sure there were no iridescent wings sticking out of it. When it looked clear of actual humming bird. He took a bite.

He nodded and then swallowed. "For sure. Little dude's stuck inside the rinse cycle."
