"Camping! Camping! Camping!" The turtles cheer, Mikey holding up sticks of marshmallows. "Camping! Camping! Camping! Camping!"
"Boys!" Splinter pokes his head out of the Turtle Tank. "We leave for intense survival training in exactly one minute!"
"Survival training?" Mikey drops the sticks in dismay. "I thought we were going camping!"
Splinter blinks at him for a few seconds. "It's just like camping, only you learn which bugs are the yummiest, and how to drink your own sweat!"
The four boys groan at this.
Emma, Sunita and April, who are leaning against one of the tires. "Thanks April and Sunita, for holding down the fort and watching Emma while we're gone for what I formally thought was gonna be a fun weekend!" Leo groans
"Don't forget to change Shelldon's cooling protocol daily, that means three times, and give him a little scritch behind the ears. Ears can be found here, here, here, and here," Donnie points to several points on Shelldon's body.
"And also make sure Emma takes a bath, brushes her teeth, and bed time is at 8 o'clock sharp if she goes to bed any later than that she gets cranky." Donnie boops Emma's nose as she frowns slightly
"Donnie I'm a big girl! I can handle myself!" Emma puffs off her chest proudly, April rolls her eyes playfully ruffing her hair
"Don't worry, we got you covered," Sunita assures him.
"Oh! And don't forget to get to potty before bed." Donnie ruffs her head making her blush red as he walks away "We don't need you having another accident."
"Donnie!"
"Boys! In the Tank!" Splinter orders and they reluctantly get inside. "Let's go, let's go, let's go!" The door closes behind them and the three girls high-five.
"Girls' NIIIIIIIIGHT!"
"And guess what guess my aunts made us some of their famous triple chocolate fudge cupcakes in the kitchen!" Emma rubs her hands together licking her lips, the turtles perk up hearing this and start banging on the window trying to get Emma's attention.
"Emma! No wait come back! At least slide me one though the window!" Leo groans sliding his hands down the window dramatically.
"Can we at least make s'mores?" Mikey hugs the bag of marshmallows. "To make up for our loss.
"You...will make NOTHING!" Splinter shouts at him.
"Hey Donnie, what's this new button?" Raph calls out, his finger hovering over a red button.
"No, don't-!" Donnie warns, but Raph pushes it anyway. The Tank's tires get strapped, and the door also gets locked from the outside.
"24 hour lockdown initiated," A voice says, the others glaring at Raph.
"Dude." Leo murmurs as Mikey growls.
"And now we are trapped in here!"
"Hey, you know Raph loves giant buttons!" He defends himself.
.............................................
"Sauce that hog! Sauce that hog!" People from a TV show chant. "Sauce that hog!"
"Seriously?" April asks in disbelief as she's biting a cupcake. "The Barbecue Channel?" Sunita holds her cheeks in awe. "This is not what I had in mind for girls' night."
"April, shh!" Sunita warns her. "They're about to sauce the pig!"
"Sauce that hog! Sauce that hog!"
Emma sits beside her on her stomach flipping though her mother's spell book with wonder at the sight of the ancient pages
Sunita starts cheering along with the TV, April groaning. She gets a beep from her phone
"Nice!"
"Sauce that hog!" Sunita pumps her fists, April brings her phone over.
"DIGG's doing a secret concert downtown! We are going!"
"You don't wanna see this? It took these mountain men 6 months to craft that sauce," Sunita explains to her friend.
"You need more than barbeque TV in your life, girl," April nudges her lightly. "Get your cloaking brooch and let's go!"
Sunita puts on her brooch and turns into her human form. "Let us rock and roll!"
Emma perks up with a smile "A concert? Cool! Can I come?!" She stands up ready to go but April stops her "No way muffin you are not going, it's for 16+ your too young." Emma pouts angrily that April was treating her like a baby.
"Aw come on April that's not fair!" Emma stomps her foot pouting, April ruffs her hair "Your still a kid Em you'll be able to do stuff like this until your older but until then you stay here where it's safe." She places Emma in the chair and boops her nose before walking away
"We'll be back before you know it you can watch them sauce the hog and tell what the sauce was like when we get back." Sunita gives her a smile catching up with April for the concert,
Emma sits in the chair crossing her arms angrily "Agh! It's not fair! I never get to do things with April anymore all because I'm little!" Emma pokes out her lip angrily but then gets a realization on her face developing a smirk
"Maybe I don't have to be." Emma jumps up from the chair, grabbing her mother's book and runs to her room not noticing the turtles banging on the windows trying to get her attention.
She grabs her own book and lays it beside her moms book "Ok let's see here!" She stops at a page reading it "Morphing Spell: Opting this spell gives the user access to shape shift into what or who they desire."
Emma taps a finger on her chin in deep thought "Well I don't wanna morph into somebody else soooo maybe if I change a few words." She takes a pencil and copies the spell in her book and erase a few words and rewrites it "Ok hopefully it works and I don't change into a frog like last time."
.............................................
DIGG plays their Pizza Pit song, the girls crowd-surfing.
"Yeah!" April cheers pumped
"Whoo!" Sunita shouts at the top of her lungs.
"Yeah Yeah Rock n Roll baby!" A voice screams, April looks see a blond headed teenage girl with her hair in two space buns with a gap between her teeth, she and April high five each other
"I'm floating on a sea of fingers!" Sunita spins around in excitement. Someone in the crowd manages to sneak past everyone and snatch Sunita's brooch.
April open her eyes as a green light appears and her eyes widen at her friend. The people who were holding her are disgusted.
"Sunita! Cloaking brooch!" She swiftly takes off her jacket.
Sunita, who's now covering her head with April's jacket shrinks a little in embarrassment. "My cloaking brooch! That was a gift from my grand-goggly!"
"We gotta hunt down the jerk who stole it," April rubs her chin.
"Too bad your turtle friends are off in the woods!"
.............................................
They're actually calling for help in the Turtle Tank.
"Help!"
"April!"
"Sunita!"
"Emma!"
"Help!" Raph screams, holding his head in a panic.
"Why did I sound-proof the Tank?!" Donnie asks bitterly.
"I'll try the horn!" Raph punches the horn and it goes off loudly, but it still can't be heard in the lair itself.
"Why did I sound-proof the garage?!" Donnie questions in the same tone.
.............................................
"We don't need 'em!" April waves it off. "I know New York better than anybody! Anyone can get your brooch back, it's me, April O'Neil!"
A door opens as the girls look in a panic but sees the blond girl come out from the concert "Hey are you ok Sunita?" She walks up to Sunita concern the girls breathe a sigh of relief that she wasn't gonna scream in fear of the sight of her
"Yeah I'm good. Wait- how did you know my name was Sunita?" Sunita raises an eyebrow
"O-Oh um .. I h-hear your friend here say your name inside." The blond girl points to April who looks at Sunita who both shrug "Anyway if you want I can help find your brooch thingie."
"Thanks that means a lot." April throws a hand over the girl's shoulder, she then looks at her up and down "Hey .. do I know you from somewhere you look like someone I know very very well." April leans in close to the girl's face making her sweat and dart her eyes uncomfortably "Uh .. nope! Never seen you before! My name is Emily ... Emily .... Hamilton?"
April squints an eye but smiles "Well ... nice to meet you Emily I'm April and this is Sunita." She jabs a thumb to the green goo girl who smiles and waves "Well what are we waiting for let's go!" Emily leads them away
.............................................
"Rumor has it any brooch stolen in the Tri-State Area eventually ends up going through here," April stops her bicycle in front of an alley, Emily perks from behind April, Sunita looks at it from inside the basket and gasps.
"Whoa! The Brooch district!"
"Oooooo Broochie!" Emily wiggles her fingers smiling mockingly creepy like making April and Sunita giggle
Emily hops up cracking her knuckles with a smirk about to walk over but April grabs her shoulder stopping her "You stay here with Sunita Emily I'll handle this." April smiles walking over not noticing Emily crossing her arms with a pouty look on her face
"Yo," April approaches a man with a beard and glasses. "Brooch man. I'm looking for a very special kind of brooch. One that someone may or may not just have tried to sell to you. On account of its specialness. Wink, wink," She winks twice as she clicks her teeth.
"Look kid, my clients expect a certain level of...discretion." The man looks April up and down You think I'm just gonna tell ya the brooch was bought by some big guy with a thick neck, an upturned nose, and a paper hat on his way to Channel 6 in a late model charcoal stretch limo? Oh no, no, no, no. You ain't getting nothin' from Ol' Loose Lips Malinowski! Smoo smoo."
They ride out of the alley. "See? What'd I tell you? April's got your back, and we didn't need to bother the boys on their serious training mission."
.............................................
Raph furiously punches while Mikey looks around, sweating. Donnie tries to figure out a way to unlock the protocol from the inside as Leo is on the ground hugging himself. Splinter runs around like a wild rat as they're all losing it inside the Turtle Tank.
.............................................
April at the security guard blocking the studio. "Do your thing, googly girl," April smirks at the mutant and she nods in understanding. "Hehe watch this Emily." She elbows Emily with a smile
"PAAAARTY!" Sunita jumps into the air and explodes like Exploding Frankie, covering the window. The guard screams at the mess, two eyes staring at him. He faints at the sight,
Sunita slips inside and opens the door, the two girls smiling.
They sneak inside, a Mrs. Cuddles doll sitting on a box. "Maybe it's not worth it. I mean, I want my brooch, but I can't risk being seen in my googly form!"
"Come on!, would April O'Neil get her good friend Sunita into a pickle?" April pats the mutant's head and she smiles. "Answer at 11." The lights turn on, surprising them.
Luckily, Sunita is green enough to be a green screen. The two other girls are staring at a production crew.
"Who are you two?"
"Oh, I'm the, uh...new weather person! April...O'Nimbus?" April smiles widely, sweating a little.
"And I'm Emily ... Humidity!!" Emily squished her face into the camera with a excited smile
The woman blinks at them before silently telling April that she's on.
Sunita changes to a weather screen. "We've got sunny skies inland, but uh oh! Looks like some rainclouds coming on the coast and a pair of...eyeballs!" She gestures to Sunita's eyes, "Hovering over New Jersey! Better wear your...rain goggles! Channel 6 weather, this is April O'...Nimbus! Signing off."
The woman stares at her intensely, Emily hugs April close cringing and biting her lip. However, she wraps an arm around April. "I like your stuff, kid. Tell Mal Nino he's fired!"
"Yay!" Emily fist pumps happily
Suddenly, a man wearing headphones with floppy red hair comes in. "We've got an emergency at the hit cooking show Kondescending Kitchen! Our abusive host Guy Flambe is missing, and some even meaner guy is trying to take his place!"
"What?" The woman demands to him, the others shocked.
"I said," He takes a deep breath, about to repeat.
"Okay, okay, let's go!"
Everyone runs off to tend to the emergency, the girls following.
The show comes on the TVs and April notices that the 'meaner' guy is wearing Sunita's brooch.
"My brooch!"
The girls grin to each other before the director slams open the door. "Where's Flambe?"
"He's a bit tied up at the moment," The new guy smirks a little. Flambe is tied up with an apple in his mouth, protesting in the cabinet. The man whistles, using his foot to close him inside. "I meant that literally." He steps out into the shadows, revealing himself as Rupert Swaggart! He steps up to the edge while the trio hides behind the curtain.
"This is bad!" April whispers
"Oh no not that guy." Emily facepalms annoyed
"What?" Sunita asks in confusion.
"That's Meat Sweats! He's a crazy dangerous mutant and thanks to me, he's using your grand-goggly's brooch to disguise himself!" April explains to the mutant.
"He's a big fat bully!" Emily glares clutching her fist, turning to Sunita. "He likes to eat mutants .. um so I've heard." Emily rubs the back of her neck avoiding eye contact with April's suspicious face
Rupert shines the brooch on his chest. "That's right, dears! Rupert Swaggart has returned as your beloved revived host of Kondescending Kitchen! Applause me!" He holds out his hands, ready for the glory, but everyone just stares at him, a few people coughing.
"But what about that freak accident that made you look...monstrously big-ish?" The director couldn't help but ask.
.............................................
A pig tail appeared from Rupert's butt, the audience gasping. Then he grew a pig nose and turned into Meat Sweats, approaching the scared crowd.
.............................................
"Hollywood magic. The details of my demise were greatly exaggerated," He replies, hoping that they'll buy it. "Look at me boat race!" He shows his smile. "All sorts of handsome as me."
"Now that I'm back behind the counter, what time is it, friends?" He asks the audience. "It's time...to unleash the flavor!"
April looks to Sunita. "I don't know about this, girls," Sunita looks away doubtfully. "Maybe we should just leave?"
"Not a chance! I'm not leaving you exposed like this," April gestures to her body. "We promised I'd get your grand-goggly's brooch back, and we will!"
"Contestants," Rupert claps his hands. "Bring your entrees to me! And I shall tell you exactly how much they offend my classically trained palette."
April was about to leave but Emily taps her on her shoulder handing her a plate of risotto "Here ya go April can't battle to the death with a crazed mutant chef without food!"
"Thanks Emily- Wait? Where did you get this?" April looks around, Emily groans darting her eyes Sunita gets in between them "We don't have time for this go!" She pushes her on stage
April puts on a disguise as a fellow contestant. "Chef," She walks up to him with a tray. "For you today, I've made a simple risotto with a touch of unleashed flavor~!" She lifts up the lid, showing the food.
He takes a scoop of it with a spoon. "Nobody likes a suck-up...except for me," Rupert chuckles, taking a bite. His face immediately turns red as he sweats, running around with fire coming out of his mouth. April just stands there with a smirk. "What is this wretched flavor?!"
"Oh, it's just an old family recipe called...too much hot sauce!" She holds out SIX hot sauces and he screams, slamming his fists out of pain.
"My pristine palate!" He takes a cup of water and downs it, but the brooch is suddenly missing. His nose and ears return, getting a gasp from the crowd.
"I got it!" Sunita beams as April holds up the brooch. "Let's go!"
Meat Sweats turns back to normal and they make a break for it. The audience screams at his appearance and he looks at his face through the glare of a pot. "My face! My gorgeous face!" Then he realizes that people can still see him. "Technical difficulties!" He puts the pot over his head. "Stay tuned!"
The director cringes and turns on the applause sign, the crowd cheering as he ducks out of there. He growls as he sees the three girls running away.
"This way!" April guides them through and Meat Sweats slams down his hammer, knocking all of them into the air. He throws his hammer to hit April but Emily flys up in front of her
"Bubble Block!!" Emily's eyes glow pink as she claps her hands together making a giant pink bubble as she chucks it at the hammer, it ricochets hitting meat sweats in the face
April grabs Emily by her waist and pulls them behind a desk in the storage room. She grabs Emily's shoulder "How did you do that?! The only person I know can make up something that goofy is-
April gets wide eyed in realization and quickly narrows her eyes at the girl who shrinks a little "That was a neat trick Emily, or should I call you Emma!!" April points a finger on her nose. Emily deeply sighs and waved her hand as it glows pink "Reverse Morph!" She pokes her forehead with two fingers as it glows bright as Emma turns back to her normal cute form
"Say Whaaaaaaa." Sunita puts her hands on her cheeks surprise that Emma got away with it for so long
"Emma what are you doing? Pretending to someone your not, I told you to stay at the lair this was big-
"Big girls only I know!" Emma yells crossing her arms angrily "You never include me in anything anymore! Every time I wanna do something with you it's always 'No Emma you're not old enough.' Or 'No Emma it's for big kids only', you push me away and I ... I felt left out." Emma walks a few steps away plopping down arms crossed with tears creeping in her eyes
April softens her face looking at Emma a little guilty, she didn't realize she was slowly pushing Emma away, she was just concern about her safety. She was like a little sister to her the last thing she wanted was for her to get hurt on her watch.
She sighs and sits beside Emma who slightly scoots away angrily "Emma .. Em I'm sorry I don't mean to make you feel left out I just didn't want to see you hurt, your like a little sister to me .. if something happened to you .. I-I don't know what I'd do." April rubs her hair affectionately making Emma look up at her
"I'm sorry muffin, you forgive me?" April gives Emma a pleading smile booping her nose making her giggle, Emma stretches up and hugs April close nuzzling her cheek as the two girls hug it out.
April then turns to Sunita. "I'm so sorry, Sunita. None of this would've ever happened if I hadn't dragged you out. I'm the worst."
"Are you kidding me?! You're amazing. Sure, you convinced me to go to that concert, where I got robbed, and then you took us to that seedy part of town and then came here and unleashed a 7 foot mutant pig who wants to filet us, but this has been one of the most exciting nights of my life!"
Meat Sweats slams down his hammer at them again, sending them flying. They land behind the snack bar. They grin at each other.
"Bite-sized bash!" They start throwing the hors d'oeuvres at him, and he uses his arm to block the blows. Sunita then places some in her arm, blowing it out onto his face.
Emma pulls out a bazooka and fills it up with the hors d'oeuvres "Eat finger food bacon head!!" Emma shoots the gun hitting Meat Sweats in the face with them
"This is way more fun than that barbecue show!" Sunita declares giving April an idea.
"Barbecue show! Great idea! We just have to get past this pig!"
The googly-smuch goes back to Sunita as the two girls ride their friend on two trays. "Apriiiiil O'Neil!"
They smack him in the face, running through the doors. The three slide onto the counter past another host, who gasps in horror as Meat Sweats runs past her. He knocks over what she was cooking.
Then they run past a man painting, some of the googly-smuch landing on the painting. He nods in approval before it goes back to Sunita, the mutant pig pushing past him. Two hosts laughing see the four running past, yelping in surprise. They fall to the ground.
The two arrive in front of the double doors, Sunita cloaking herself with the brooch. Meat Sweats appears behind them,
"End of the line, lassies! Enough's enough."
"Is it?" April sniffs the air with a smug look. "You smell that, girls?"
They sniff the air, smirking towards Meat Sweats. "We sure do."
He grabs Sunita and April into his hands, eyeing the brooch.
"The cloaking brooch, and I will not be stopped!"
"I don't think so pork n' butt!" Emma smirks and claps her hands activating the lights.
The lights turn on and the pig drops the girls as he sees the contestants giggling at him. "Mmm, look at this little piggy wiggy!"
"That's some prime swine! Get me my slicing blades!"
"Sauce that hog!" They hold up their tuning forks, knives, and spatulas.
"Wait, wait!" The mutant pig protests as they surround him. "At least soak me in brandy before you cook me! It's an old recipe! Oh, horse raddish."
The three close the doors, high-fiving each other as April and Sunita hug Emma in the middle ruffing her hair as she squeals. "Best Girls' Night Ever!"
.............................................
Finally, the lockdown turns off by itself. "24 hour lockdown complete." The doors open and the five fall out in relief.
"We're free!"
"Yay!"
"Yes!"
"Back already?" April asks from the doorway holding Emma on her hip "Hey Guys! How was camping?" Emma waves to her big brothers and father, she sees a shine red button on the side of the way that twinkles in her eye "Ooo what's this button do?"
"No, no, no, no, Emma no!" They all call out, but Emma presses the button causing the garage door to slam shut.
April, Sunita, and Emma look at each other smiling and high five each other
"Girls' Night 2!"
