--MM Leo is trying so hard; between dimension hopping and his 2007 self being so much more capable and respected, the only reason he hasn't sweated himself into oblivion is because it's not physically possible.

Genuinely, being next to his older self, let alone the same room as him, pushes his nerves to the edge. EVENTUALLY he calms down but even then, he feels the pressure of responsibilities that aren't his. (Going back to their stress regarding how they compare to 2007.)

He even asks 2007 Leo at some point how he leads his brothers despite the issue of his leadership skills being resolved during the nightmare that was stopping Superfly. ( Highkey, the only reason MM Leo is seen as a "leader" is cause he's the one considered most responsible, thus Splinter putting him in charge when they have to do chores and such. )

--As mentioned before, MM Raph is ecstatic to meet 2007 Raph. Actually, in a funny twist of fate, 2007 Raph is seen as the coolest out of all the 2007 brothers since he's the Cool Uncle. This ends up causing issues later on but for now he's the favorite. (The accent helps too. It helps A LOT.)

--The cool factor starts to fade as they interact more however cause 2007 Raph keeps trying to convince him that violence is not the answer, that his anger is pent up energy. MM Raph starts to get legit miffed.

--2007 give MM a tour their dojo and both groups get to show off their skills. Lots of mixed interactions and quiet concerns on 2007's part but MM Raph gets to flaunt his wrestling skills which ends up being a lot of fun.

--MM learn a game that 2007 played as kids where they pushed their heads together to see who had the stronger neck. (Cause they're turtles and I think it's cute. The image of them just being silly AUUGH.)

--MM Donnie spends the majority of their first interactions with 2007 freaking out over the fact that isekai is real. They ISEKAI-D. ANIME IS REAL.

--The moment MM find out that they also traveled back in time, he's gets amped up all over again cause they get to experience the early 2000's for realsies. TIME TRAVEL IS REAL.

--Especially the internet aspect. Everyone and their mom talks about how the old internet was better/more interesting and he's now in a position to see what was actually like.

--Unfortunately, MM Donnie is the second to feel the pressure of impressing or being like his older self. Simultaneously he is ahead and behind with 2007 Donnie being a tech wiz for seemingly no reason. He tries to keep in mind that 2007 is very anime and 2007 Donnie explaining his tech is recognized for what it is, but the gesture partially backfires. Now he feels especially Not Smart.

--Against all odds, MM Mikey manages to avoid this issue, primarily cause 2007 Mikey is so friendly. There's isn't that same sense of seriousness present.

--He successfully teaches 2007 Mikey fortnite dances, and BOY HOWDY, he's basically a prodigy. He already liked dancing, so MM Mikey just introduced him to a world endless possibilities. ( Orange Justice ends up a big favorite. )

--In turn he gets to try skateboarding. His time with Mondo Gecko has given MM Mikey a good start but he's still hesitant, which is totally fair. 2007 Mikey proposes they try riding a skateboard with both of them on it and MM Mikey decides y'know what? Sure!

--It works for until the most cartoonishly inconvenient moment...RIP ( The piggyback method worked at least? )

--2007 Mikey is so so SO interested in what their future looks like and almost becomes a pest, asking any and all question he can think of. MM Mikey takes it in stride. ( EDIT: MM Mikey has any and all questions for 2007 Mikey as well. Forgot to say that RIP )

--Scholarly discussions of pizza and things that can be put on it. Both agree that Yes! Waffles on pizza IS good

--In the first part I mentioned how MM Mikey notices how 2007 Mikey is stuck in the little brother role; alongside this, he also gets to hear about some of the family drama. 2007 Mikey is a chatty guy and is smart enough to keep from giving explicit details but this is where the image of a functional unit begins to slip.

Even in it's vagueness, it was clear that 2007 aren't just being cagey; whatever it may be, they are also keeping quiet about some things. MM Mikey takes notes and shares this with his brothers later on, and in doing that, all of the little weird things they've noticed begin to line up, especially with Cool Uncle Raph.

--2007 have a lot of good reasons to keep aspects of their lives to themselves. They don't know if this dimension hopping will effect MM or if it is at all. They don't know if MM have their own Shredder or Utroms or whatever else they have encountered. In keeping quiet, they hope to not jinx MM. There's also the fact that they have their own insecurities; seeing their younger selves so informal and carefree, how relaxed they are with each other. Even with how rude they can be...

They are jealous in a small, ache-y way. Think of a paper cut.

They can only imagine what it's like to not have to hide anymore, to be accepted by the public. It hurts, sincerely. 2007 don't want to let this get in the way of them enjoying these kids.

--On the opposite side, MM do share a collected sense of pity regarding this. This pity manifests as time goes on. Seeing these adults that haven't, and may never, get to escape the sewers is incredibly sad. It's part of the reason they make an attempt to therapy 2007 outside of the issues they're seeing.

( I'll leave you to ponder that but back to general ideas! )

--The Great Dominos vs. Pizza Hut debate. Mostly cause it's funny? Both groups can't just walk in and have real New York pizza so their stuck with the franchise shit. THAT SAID, MM can do whatever they want to now and 2007 do have April and Casey to help refine their palettes, but they were eating the franchise shit most of their life.

--2007 Donnie get offended that MM consider the Bo to be the worst weapon and makes it a point to Make Them Respect the Bo.

--Going back to the dojo, 2007 are internally vibrating at what they see. They were taught how to be real ninjas while MM were taught to be approximations of ninjas. Like they are ninjas, but in the discount variety.

So when they see MM in action, they see everything wrong with their form etc. etc. And to be real, MM only started to get good when they were actively fighting people and gaining that experience. A week, maybe two weeks, of fighting people who don't know how to fight back does not replace a decade and a half of training and fighting people who know how to counter you.

--As a result, 2007 take to soft training them. Showing the difference between *whapp whapp* and *WHAPP WHAPP*.

It gives them a chance to show off too. It's fun to entertain kids sometimes!

--2007 Donnie tells the story of how it took a year and a half to install a swamp cooler in the lair which promptly earns him critical looks.

( "You can invent tech but you couldn't install a air conditioner...?"

"First: it's a 'Swamp Cooler', and second: installation is entirely different. Certainly not a one person job!" )

--MM, upon first arriving: " The pollution smells different. "

--MM and 2007 have a discussion about food when MM sees the kitchen and 2007 Donnie gets very VERY concerned about MM's diet. Almost goes into a lecture about food health but is unanimously ignored by MM, save for MM Leo. ( The one thing that 2007 noticed and was shocked by at first was how blunt MM can be, even unintentionally. )

--The Great Goku vs. Superman debate

--April has a lot of fun hanging out with MM cause it reminds her of when she met 2007 the first time. That same feeling of discovery and bonding. :)))

--We Get Board games! Card Games!! Tooth and Nail UNO!!!

--MM get super curious about the memento shelf, with some dodging questions on 2007's part.

--MM make a very honest attempt to make 2007 understand modern memes with lackluster results. ( "Boomers...")

--They try their damndest to explain modern day trends and events and just...2007 just can't understand. ( Shit, I don't even understand everything. )
