He had gotten into a slumber that remained deep and heavy enough that no dreams had reappeared and Leo had been grateful for.\n\n\tBut he wasn’t expecting to be suddenly awaken when he felt a strange wetness between his legs and Leo’s eyes snapped open in shock. At first he had assumed he just wet the bed, despite not having any dreams to cause them, but after he flung the sheets off his body to gaze down at the mess he had caused. He was not expecting to be laying in a small pool of blood.\n\n\tLeo’s shocked look turned to a face of absolute horror and he scrambled away. He gazed down at himself and was even more horrified when he found where exactly the source was where the blood was coming from.\n\n\t[i]Oh my God! I’m bleeding to death![/i]\n\n\tHe cried out mentally. He might have given a screech of terror if he wasn’t too in his own state of shock to do so. Looking over at his T-phone located on the other side of the room, peeking out of his belt pocket. Leo pushed himself away from the red liquid and forgot where exactly he was till it was too late and he fell backwards off the edge of the bed and landed in a heap on the floor. With a soft groan, he ignored the pain in his head and used his feet to thrust himself away from the bed. Adrenaline helped him along the way when he crawled over to the phone and grabbed it.\n\n\tLooking through the contacts and clicking on April’s number he held the receiver to his ear and crossed his legs. Perhaps April knew what was going on with him, he hoped. He wasn’t about to call his other brothers in to observe any of this if he could really help it. Waiting restlessly for someone to pick up on the other end of line felt like it took ages before a female voice crackled through the speaker.\n\n\t[i]“Hello? Leo?”[/i]\n\n\t“April! I need you to get down here now!” He demanded in a panic high pitched voice.\n\n\t[i]“Why? What’s the matter?”[/i] Came the worried voice back to him.\n\n\t“I’m bleeding.” He murmured shyly. What he wasn’t expecting to hear was a small snicker on the other end. “Why are you laughing?” He squeaked half angry and half panicked. \n\n[i]\t“Leo, there’s no reason to panic. Just go into the bathroom and clean yourself up. I’ll be there in a minute to help you.”[/i]\n\n\tLeo took a breath to relax himself. Though he was bleeding a lot that he was sure he would have fainted from lack of blood by now. He hadn’t remembered witnessing this much blood since they had come back with from a battle with gashes five inch long. But apparently this was a normal thing, considering how cool April sounded about it. \n\n\tWith a frustrated sigh, he pushed himself up and off the ground, studying the medium size puddles of blood on his mattress and floor before grumbling about how that was going to leave a stain and he grabbed two handfuls of tissue and held them down below so he wouldn't leave a trail behind him. Waddling out of his room and down the hall towards the bathroom, he was most grateful that none of his family was up yet and that reminded him it was about five in the morning. Not even Splinter would be up by then. Leo could feel a small twinge of guilt at the thought of waking April up so soon, but he was freaking at the moment and hadn’t the faintest idea of what to do.\n\n\tOnce in the bathroom, he closed the door and locked it before placing himself on the toilet and scowling at the tissues that were almost soaked the whole way threw. Tossing it away he got up and turned on the shower and stepped into it to wash away the red tint from his skin around his thighs. \n\n\tIt should take April about ten minutes to get here if she hurry’s, but from the sound of her voice once he revealed his problem, it was minor and no reason to fret at all. Leo growled at the thought of April taking her good ol sweet time while he was here trying to figure out what the hell was his problem. If the girl had any concern what so ever for his condition he was in, she would hurry it up. \n\n\tApproximately, fifteen minutes later. Footsteps were herd running into the lair and clanging from the turnstile entering their home. Leo knew that April had finally arrived, and with his solution he hoped. \n\n\tA knock to the door got Leo to breath out a sigh of relief and he got up from the toilet to unlock the door before placing himself back down on the only protection he had. The door opened smoothly as April entered with a smile on her face.\n\n\t“Problem Leo?” The cheerfulness in her voice caused Leo to silently curse to her.\n\n\t“What do you think?”\n\n\t“I think Donnie should have warned you about this.” She laughed. Setting the back pack she brought with her on the sink counter. \n\n\t“Or maybe [i]you[/i] should have.”\n\n\t“Hey, how was I supposed to know you would have a period?” Leo cocked his head at that particular name, but shrugged it off and looked down to his lap. Making sure his thighs were well pressed together.\n\n\t“Aren’t all females. Animals or humans supposed to do this?” He asked shyly.\n\n\t“Well[s]--- [/s]Yes. But with the mutation, I assumed your reproductive systems would be all screwed up. I know very little about male mutant turtles, but I know nothing about [i]female[/I] mutant turtles.”\n\n\t“I would have appreciated maybe just a little bit of a heads up of something that might or might not have happened.” April couldn’t argue with that, but she couldn’t help the smile of her face as she recalled the memory when the turtles said, “Girls have it easy.” When she knew for a fact that females did [i]not[/i] have it easy when it came to bodily functions. Though she was well aware what males had to go through. Pain was one of the main things girls had to deal with, wither they liked it or not. Despite the little things she revealed to the turtles without getting into too much detail. They still insisted that women always held the easier end of the plate. \n\n\tShe decided to drop the subject all together at this point and never bring it up again, but she just had to feel amused by the thought that one of the ones she argued with could finally figure out what girls had to deal with. Though of course she felt pity for him. She would know that everything he was experiencing was well alien to him and the least she could do was make it as painless of a ride as possible. At least that’s what her good sense told her.\n\n\t“Alright,” She started with a smile and took out a box that was labeled, “Tampons” on the front of it. “Do you know what this is?” She took one of them out and showed it to Leo. The mint green turtle frowned but nodded.\n\n\t“Yes, I know what that is.”\n\n\t“Good. At least you know a little something.” She handed the tampon to Leo who was holding it in his hands and staring wide eyed at it.\n\n\t“Do you know what do with it?”\n\n\tLeo glared at her for that question. “April, I don’t even know what a period is. What makes you think I would know what to do with this?” April nodded her understanding. She hoped she wouldn’t have to go through this particular talk until she at least had a daughter who needed to know this, but nonetheless it would be too cruel to leave the poor turtle in the dark. \n\n\tShe smiled though at the thought of his reaction when she leaned in close to his ear and whispered. \n\n\t“A period is what[s]---[/s] !?” Leo glanced up at the teenage girl with a look of disbelief that got April to bite her lip to keep from laughing and she nodded.\n\n\tLeo shook his head sharply at the thought and gave a noise of displeasure before he looked back up at her. “Okay, so what am I supposed to do with this?”\n\n\tApril smiled and leaned in again to whisper. Leo’s eyes widen to absolute horror. He looked terrified as if he just came out of a haunted house.\n\n\t“I’m supposed to put this where[s]---[/s] !?” April smiled and nodded. \n\n\t“You herd me.”\n\n\t“Isn’t there any other way?” With an innocent smile, the red head shook her head in reply.\n \n\t“Nope. Come on Leo, if you do it right it won’t be that bad.” Leo scowled at her. \n\n\t“That doesn’t sound very reassuring.”\n\n\t“It will feel a little uncomfortable. Believe me, I had to go through it myself.” With a sigh of dismay, Leo nodded. \n\n\t“Fine. But get out.” He ordered sternly. Pointing to the exit of the bathroom. April grinned, grabbed her bag. Setting the box with the rest of the tampons on the counter, knowing well that he would need them. She walked out of the bathroom saying over her shoulder, “The instructions are in the back.”\n\n\tClosing the door behind her, she waited for a second to see if Leo had already begun. She herd the plastic come off and then silence. With a smug smile, she shook her head. She knew that there was other and easier ways of handling a period, but some of them had required wearing pants. Recalling the times, Leo had refused any clothes and instead wear his normal gear she was only being a sincere friend and giving Leo the one option of handling his bleeding without having to wear any clothes.\n\n\t“April! I can’t do this!” A whine was herd through the other end of the door and April smiled apologetically even if he couldn’t see it. She had actually felt slightly sorry for the leader in blue, but however it could have been way worse. She could have went with the bigger size. \n\n\t“The first time is always uncomfortable.” She said. “But it get's easier the next times.” Another whine responded her.\n\n\t“I don’t want to do this!”\n\n\t“Well, it’s either that or sit on the toilet all week straight.”\n\n\t“A week!?”\n\n\tApril nodded. Remembering that she forgot how long this usually lasted. “Yes a week.” She replied. Another pleading cry answered her but no more protests. At least that’s what she thought till she heard a hiss.\n\n\t“Apprrriilll!” \n\n\t“Awe, suck it up! Be a man!” Then she rethought that fraise. “Woman.” \n\n\t“I’m not a woman! I’m a man! And being a man didn’t require this!” He protested. April couldn’t help but go back on her memories when this first hit her. She snorted when she remembered she didn’t whine this much. In fact she hardly whined at all, but she supposed the sudden change of events and not having to ever worry about this or be warned about this in his life time so he could prepare himself didn’t help. It hit him so suddenly and in five o’clock in the morning no less. \n\n\tBut of course it could always be worse. It could be in the middle of the day, sitting on the couch or in the dojo in the middle of training. Instead he was fortunate enough that he awaken in the privacy of his room.\n\n\tApril hadn’t realized that about fifteen minutes had passed, being so caught up in her thoughts she was only pulled out of them when she heard the sound of a toilet bowl flushing and the sink turning on.\n\n\tMinutes later, Leo had come out with a flushed and irritated exhausted face and she smiled.\n\n\t“See? That wasn’t so bad.”\n\n\t“Speak for yourself.” He growled and threw the towel at her harshly. April giggled.\n\n\t“Well, you could be wearing pants.” Leo snapped around in surprise.\n\n\t“What?”\n\n\t“If you had pants I could have brought you something that didn’t require any of that.” Leo’s jaw dropped and he snarled in fury.\n\n\t“Ugh! I hate you!” \n\n\tApril chuckled and tossed the towel back into the bathroom. “Well I just thought, you hate wearing clothes. Besides, do you really want to explain to your family why the sudden interest in wearing clothes? Once a week every month?”\n\n\t“Every month!?” Leo looked at the red head with surprise and plead. This was the worst day of his life.\n \n\t“Yes.” The mint green turtle gave a whine of disapproval and rubbed his head. He guessed April was correct about not wanting to explain to his family about his situation because he suddenly wants to wear clothes when all of his family members well know that he hates the cloth over his shell, but he really hadn’t a clue if this was worth it or not.\n\n\t“Oh, something else I should warn you about.” Leo looked at her curiously, but he was wondering if he really wanted to hear. So far everything else she’s told him was nothing good. She leaned in and whispered.\n\n\t“I might be experiencing what[s]---[/s] ?” He whined and patted his lower stomach area. April gave him a reassuring smile.\n\n\t“Just takes some painkillers beforehand and you should be fine.” April patted Leo’s shoulder sympathetically before she tossed the back pack over her shoulder and sighed.\n\n\t“Well, I got to be heading off. You should change that every hour or so.” Leo grumbled at her but decided he didn’t have a choice.\n\n\t“I’ll come visit you after school to see how you’re doing, okay?” Leo simply nodded but the glare he’d given her told her that he wasn’t going to be happy with her for quite a while. April merely smiled and waved him away as she walked down the hallway and out of the lair. Leo sighed and walked back to his room. He had a sudden urge to throttle someone. Particularly April. This whole episode had been a huge rain down on his mood. Staring down at his red sheets, he stripped his bed completely. Grateful that these were white sheets so he could splash a whole load of bleach on it and hopefully he could remove the stain. If that wasn’t the case, no one was going to be allowed in his room till he found new sheets. Leo thought about something. Maybe he could borrow some of Raph’s red sheets just in case if he leaks. He wouldn’t have to worry about that stain.\n\n\tThe only thing he would have to worry about though is if Raph would question him on why he would need them.\n\n\tErasing those thoughts from his mind at the moment, he didn’t need to care about that so much right now. He focused on scrubbing harshly to get the redness out. \n\n\tBut despite how badly he wanted to just forget his new bizarre bodily functions. He just couldn’t help but think how long this week is going to last.\n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>Chapter 18-<br /><br />\tLeonardo had manage to easily get to sleep without any trouble, much to his relief.

She could have went with the bigger size. <br /><br />\t&ldquo;The first time is always uncomfortable.&rdquo; She said. &ldquo;But it get&#039;s easier the next times.&rdquo; Another whine responded her.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want to do this!&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Well, it&rsquo;s either that or sit on the toilet all week straight.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;A week!?&rdquo;<br /><br />\tApril nodded. Remembering that she forgot how long this usually lasted. &ldquo;Yes a week.&rdquo; She replied. Another pleading cry answered her but no more protests. At least that&rsquo;s what she thought till she heard a hiss.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Apprrriilll!&rdquo; <br /><br />\t&ldquo;Awe, suck it up! Be a man!&rdquo; Then she rethought that fraise. &ldquo;Woman.&rdquo; <br /><br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not a woman! I&rsquo;m a man! And being a man didn&rsquo;t require this!&rdquo; He protested. April couldn&rsquo;t help but go back on her memories when this first hit her. She snorted when she remembered she didn&rsquo;t whine this much. In fact she hardly whined at all, but she supposed the sudden change of events and not having to ever worry about this or be warned about this in his life time so he could prepare himself didn&rsquo;t help. It hit him so suddenly and in five o&rsquo;clock in the morning no less. <br /><br />\tBut of course it could always be worse. It could be in the middle of the day, sitting on the couch or in the dojo in the middle of training. Instead he was fortunate enough that he awaken in the privacy of his room.<br /><br />\tApril hadn&rsquo;t realized that about fifteen minutes had passed, being so caught up in her thoughts she was only pulled out of them when she heard the sound of a toilet bowl flushing and the sink turning on.<br /><br />\tMinutes later, Leo had come out with a flushed and irritated exhausted face and she smiled.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;See? That wasn&rsquo;t so bad.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Speak for yourself.&rdquo; He growled and threw the towel at her harshly. April giggled.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Well, you could be wearing pants.&rdquo; Leo snapped around in surprise.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;What?&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;If you had pants I could have brought you something that didn&rsquo;t require any of that.&rdquo; Leo&rsquo;s jaw dropped and he snarled in fury.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Ugh! I hate you!&rdquo; <br /><br />\tApril chuckled and tossed the towel back into the bathroom. &ldquo;Well I just thought, you hate wearing clothes. Besides, do you really want to explain to your family why the sudden interest in wearing clothes? Once a week every month?&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Every month!?&rdquo; Leo looked at the red head with surprise and plead. This was the worst day of his life.<br />&nbsp;<br />\t&ldquo;Yes.&rdquo; The mint green turtle gave a whine of disapproval and rubbed his head. He guessed April was correct about not wanting to explain to his family about his situation because he suddenly wants to wear clothes when all of his family members well know that he hates the cloth over his shell, but he really hadn&rsquo;t a clue if this was worth it or not.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Oh, something else I should warn you about.&rdquo; Leo looked at her curiously, but he was wondering if he really wanted to hear. So far everything else she&rsquo;s told him was nothing good. She leaned in and whispered.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;I might be experiencing what<span class='strikethrough'>---</span> ?&rdquo; He whined and patted his lower stomach area. April gave him a reassuring smile.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Just takes some painkillers beforehand and you should be fine.&rdquo; April patted Leo&rsquo;s shoulder sympathetically before she tossed the back pack over her shoulder and sighed.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Well, I got to be heading off. You should change that every hour or so.&rdquo; Leo grumbled at her but decided he didn&rsquo;t have a choice.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll come visit you after school to see how you&rsquo;re doing, okay?&rdquo; Leo simply nodded but the glare he&rsquo;d given her told her that he wasn&rsquo;t going to be happy with her for quite a while. April merely smiled and waved him away as she walked down the hallway and out of the lair. Leo sighed and walked back to his room. He had a sudden urge to throttle someone. Particularly April. This whole episode had been a huge rain down on his mood. Staring down at his red sheets, he stripped his bed completely. Grateful that these were white sheets so he could splash a whole load of bleach on it and hopefully he could remove the stain. If that wasn&rsquo;t the case, no one was going to be allowed in his room till he found new sheets. Leo thought about something. Maybe he could borrow some of Raph&rsquo;s red sheets just in case if he leaks. He wouldn&rsquo;t have to worry about that stain.<br /><br />\tThe only thing he would have to worry about though is if Raph would question him on why he would need them.<br /><br />\tErasing those thoughts from his mind at the moment, he didn&rsquo;t need to care about that so much right now. He focused on scrubbing harshly to get the redness out. <br /><br />\tBut despite how badly he wanted to just forget his new bizarre bodily functions. He just couldn&rsquo;t help but think how long this week is going to last.<br /></span>","pools_count":1,"title":"Haven't Met You Yet Ch.18","deleted":"f","public":"t","mimetype":"application/msword","pagecount":"1","rating_id":"1","rating_name":"Mature","ratings":[{"content_tag_id":"2","name":"Nudity","description":"Nonsexual nudity exposing breasts or genitals (must not show arousal)","rating_id":"1"}],"submission_type_id":"12","type_name":"Writing - Document","guest_block":"t","friends_only":"f","comments_count":"10","views":"45","sales_description":null,"forsale":"f","digitalsales":"f","printsales":"f","digital_price":""}
