Beth spends a whole five minutes looking Chris up and down, wearing the face she does when she's doing complicated maths or science in her head, dizzying intellect taking over her softer features. And then, when she comes to her conclusion, she smiles. "Givin' ya eight-point-seventy-t'ree. You cook, you're sweet, you're handsome, you're intelligent. Amazin' taste in music an' clothes. But given dat we no have...uh...yet...no can offah ya full marks, ya know?" {{8.75 out of 10 Hawtness}}

The baker's focus was on two important things. First, the small pile of dishes from their dinner. A vegeterian spin on Abuela's Jackfruit Lechona with Crispy Peas, prepared by Chris. He remembered her reservations about regarding the consumption of meat and found an alternative way to make a hearty meal for the both of them.

Second, the focused look on Beth's face. Even after all these years, that look of concentation would make him smile. Growing up, the baker would always say Beth was the scientist and mathmetician between them. While he could figure out how to write attention grabbing figures, those damn calculations often left him confused.

Soft brown hues then turned their attention towards the nurse, an small inquisitive tilt of his head following. Aft first he was a little thrown off by the number. Only somewhat expecting an exact number as she was always knack for mathmatics compared to him.

"8.73?"

But as the compliments began, the all too familar red hue founds its ways to his cheeks. There weren't any secrets between Beth and Chris (though he did hide the small sketchbooks filled with drawings of her pretty well hidden) but she was well aware of his slight image issues. Maybe some insecurities regarding his intelligence.

It wasn't that long ago that the baker was a tiny child who grew in height during his adolescence. The second he turned 14, he began to fill out. Those once twigs that he called arms gained mass that matched his thighs and gave him a soft tummy that he once hated. But then he remembers Beth showing him videos of the Merrie Monarch Men. Seeing a group of men who looked like him move in such a graceful manner brought a smile to his young face.

"would you say same kine 'bout my Kanaka?" "den why would you say dat about yaself? You're beautiful how you are."

A bashful chuckle escaped his lips.

"Why thank ya, mi amor," Chris grins. "I'm glad ya think I'm a sweetie with a good sense of fashion. I can't take all the credit for that cause I just copied fits I found in Jess's magazines. I personally think you're a 20 out of 10 in my eyes."

That blush grows a bit.

"So would I get a 10 if we had sex?"

Okay, so, the ROTTMNT fandom has been fighting to save the show which is awesome, I've even done some stuff here and there. I even posted why I personally love this show (found here!). But, I would like to bring up something I believe is important about this show personally too and something I just realized today. Now, this doesn't apply to everyone but I think a new take on how awesome this show is would be appreciated.

I have a 5 year old sister, we're really close. To the point that she wants to be around me all the time, shows me everything, comes to me when she's crying, even calling me on one of my family members phones just to see me even if we don't talk. So close in fact we'll watch and dance to things together because it's something the other likes. She's in love with Maraculus Ladybug and that one Disney villain musical show thing, while I've got Supernatural and Detroit: Become Human. We'll sing and dance to parodies and music videos from each, even fan made videos and reenact the videos scene for scene from how much we've watched it over and over. We also love to annoy everyone else in our family with our favorite things.

But recently because of how I've fallen back down the TMNT hole, me and her have been watching the ROTTMNT episodes together on my Abuela's (Grandmother's) TV. I've gotten her hooked to the point we repeat the theme song for hours without stopping in car rides and late at night, singing, dancing, being dorks, watching funny out if context videos too. However, out of everything we've shared together, ROTTMNT has been diffreant in a really amazing way.

"Which turtle is dat one?"

"That's Donnie."

"Donnie?"

"Yup!"

"What about that one?"

"That's April!"

"Dat one?"

"Leo."

"How do you spell Leo?"

Now, for someone who enjoys the HELL out of learning new things and having a sister who likes to learn things too is awesome. But, she always wants to learn names and colors but really struggles with writing it out, remembering things, numbers, and letters. So her wanting to learn how to write and figure out the turtles names that way was awesome! I had paused the screen with Leo, April, and Donnie on screen and started trying to help her start just remembering the names in general.

"This is Donnie, Donnie is...?"

"Uh....hmmmm, uh.....Purple!"

"Yes! Yes! Your doing amazing! Now, this is...?"

"April!"

"Your right! Good job! And April is....?"

"Green!"

"Oh my god your doing so well!"

After eventually praising her for an hour and trying to have her to just remember how she can figure out who is who (she still has difficulty but she's getting the hang of it) with colors, I eventually got tiny balloons the colors of the turtles and April. With those balloons I wrote down their names on a note book and tried to teach her which color went with which group of letters that formed their names (the balloons weren't blown up btw). After awhile I quized her and she had a really hard time but she was enjoying it a LOT so I took that as a good sign and gave her a break by just watching the show. But, her being how she is continued to want me say the names of each character on screen so she could learn them all. I did it, sometimes pausing and having her repeat the names with me.

But, suprisingly, that's not the only thing about this show that helped me teach her things in a way she enjoyed it.

In the episode named Flushed from Season 2, it had ended with the lesson of how lying is never better than telling the truth. Now, as someone who loves making EVERYTHING and ANYTHING a life lesson or a "Golden Rule" for my very small sister who needs to learn good lessons for her self and others. I had purposefully poked her playfully and said, "Remember, always tell the truth."

Now, I haven't been able to really use this as much yet since I haven't seen her again, but I plan on reminding her of how Donnie (her favorite turtle) got in trouble for lying and how she can tell me anything, and not have to lie. That lying can be hurtful for her and who she's lying to. That if the lie is really bad she'll get in trouble too.

I really want the show to not only to continue because I love it to death, but the fact that if they were able to produce learning stuff themed by the show I'd help my sister learn things in a way she enjoys them. Flash cards with colors using the pictures of characters to be able to learn said colors, letters by using pictures of places in the show and characters too. A notebook themed with the turtles so that it just helps my sister be able to feel happy when writing down letters.

I know that that may not seem very important, but as someone who has Dyslexia, seeing my sister struggling to learn but having fun and wanting to keep doing it EVEN when she's not even in school yet just because it's something we both love, really really hits too close to home.

This show is amazing, and it's done a lot for a lot of people, including my sister. So, I've gotta say, thank you Rise, for making learning actully fun for my tiny child who struggles a lot. Thank you.
