Los Angeles (Shina's Pov)
My eyes swept over the city of Los Angeles. With a deep sigh I leaned against the grounds and looked at the city of my childhood. I grew up here. Here I experienced adventures. Here I met my best friends. And now I have to leave everything behind ...
Annoyed, I rolled my eyes. When will we have completed this mission? In a year? Two years? No way…..
It is really hard ... ..
"Is everything okay Shina?" Abruptly I was torn from my thoughts. Behind me was Jenny, my best friend. She nervously toyed with her braid and stood there rooted to the spot. "Yes, why?" I asked in a neutral tone.
"Well ...", she began, stepping nervously from one leg to the other. "You had a lot of mood changes in the morning when I came to visit you." "I did not!" I snapped. "Well somehow already ... First you were Miss Sunshine, then suddenly angry and then totally sad." "I'm sorry if I have a little emotional response to it, if I have to move!" I yelled at her. I've always struggled with my temper.
"I understand you," she said sympathetically and ran the back of my hand over my back. "I'm not a fluffy cat." I mumbled under my breath, but still had to smile.
"Diego is coming soon ... are you ready to go?" She asked me slowly. She's probably scared I would make her a scene.
,,Yes I think so."
The elevator ride down was relatively quiet. I looked around the skyscraper again.
"Hello ladies!" I heard my best buddy Diego scream. My head shot in his direction. He leaned against a red sports car with a cigarette in his mouth. "Sweet.", Jenny grinned, looking at the car.
"Probably hot!", Diego corrected and ran two fingers over the red paint. "Where's your old scrap wagon?" I asked with a grin, whereupon Jenny nudged me in the side.
"It was! We drove over 100 once. The car made a crash ... I thought it would fall apart! "
"Shina, Shina, Shina. A cheeky mouth as always. "Diego laughed and gestured us to get in the car. I quickly ran to the passenger seat and sat in it.
The smell of leather flew into my nose. Satisfied, I inhaled the smell. Diego started the car and drove off. The engine purred.
"How can you afford such a car?" Jenny pokes and leans forward.
"The car belongs to my uncle. We both have a deal: I clean his flat, go shopping and wash the car and I can borrow it a couple of times. "" Good deal, "I sighed contentedly, looking around the streets of Los Angeles." It gets even better. "I look questioningly into Diego's eyes. What does he mean?
Suddenly there was loud rock music and the roof of the car drove off, which means that we had a convertible.
"I thought we'd drive around the city for a few more laps, grab something to eat and drive you to the airport on 12 am." "Okay"
It felt good to drive around Los Angeles with an expensive car. We stopped in front of our favorite snack.
"The food is on me!" Diego announced and pulled his wallet out of his jeans. I nudged Jenny with a chuckle. "No sooner does he drive an expensive car than he gets generous." Jenny held her hand over her mouth, giggling.
,,What do you want? I'll take a bacon burger. "" I'll take the chicken toast and you Shina? "" I'll take the Los Angeles burger. "After getting our drinks and food, we drove to our secret spot by car. I quickly took off my shoes and opened the passenger door. With my bare feet I climbed onto the grass and walked to the edge of the cliff. A cool breeze blew through my hair and I relaxed my eyes.
When I opened it again, I saw the sea. Although I saw this view dozens of times, it felt particularly nice this time.
How will it be in New York City? How long will it take me to get used to the city?
Suddenly I felt behind me two arms, which held me and moved me briefly forward. I screamed in shock. Jerkily I turned around and looked at Diego.
"Dude, are you suffering any damage?" I yelled at him and kicked his ankle. "Ow!" He squealed, rubbing his ankle.
"It was just a joke." "Can you see me laughing?" "Stop!" Jenny intervened and stepped between us.
"Stop both." "Okay," we said in sync. Then I sat in the grass.
Jenny sat down next to me. Diego got the food and gave each of us his meal. It was quiet. Only the sound of the waves and the seagulls could be heard. The silence was not unpleasant. We enjoyed the quiet get-together, after all, no one knows when we have such moments together again.
Jenny broke the silence first. "What are you?" Confused, I put the bottle next to me. ,,What do you think?"
"Well, those mutants you're pulling to." "As far as Iroh has told me, they're four giant turtles and a rat."
"How did they become mutants and how is it that your uncle knows them?" Jenny asked curiously.
"Well ... by some slime. I do not know it myself. And because of the second question ... My uncle lived 20 years ago, more than 4 years in New York. In his first year he walked the streets of New York and suddenly heard a noise in the sewers. He was curious and wanted to see where the noise came from. That's why he got into the sewers. There he found a mutant rat and four baby turtles. My uncle always visited her for four years. He seems to have kept in contact with the rat over the years. "" Sounds like a movie, "Diego commented.
"I know." I sighed. "There must be people among us," I said sternly, staring at her.
,,Logical. In theory nobody would believe us anyway. ", Jenny laughed and I could not resist a grin.
"Can we get to know her? You do not see something like that every day? "Diego asked.
"Certainly, but not immediately. First, I need to get to know them and explain to my uncle why you know about their existence. "
Time passed too quickly and soon the time had come to say goodbye. Jenny stood with wet eyes in front of me and gave me a long and warm hug. "Call as often as possible." "I do." Diego hugged me next. With a heavy heart, I went to the airport, which was full of people. Fortunately, Uncle Iroh took my luggage with me. I stood in line and waited for me to come.
After about 40 minutes, I came to it. This was followed by a short check. After all was done, I finally got on the plane.
My seat was next to a window. I dropped into the seat and pulled out my MP3 player. More and more people got on the plane, but I did not pay much attention to them until suddenly an extremely strong woman's perfume shot me in the nose. Immediately, I pulled out my headphones and looked at the seat next to me. There was a woman in her mid-twenties who looked pretty arrogant. She turned her head to me and looked at me. After that she let out a "Tsk" tone and continued in her Tussen newspaper. What does who she is? Just because she wears high heels and a ton of make up. Stupid goat.
A few minutes later you heard the safety instructions through the speakers, so I strapped on. Shortly afterwards the plane took off. Bye Los Angeles ...
I fell asleep during the flight. When I woke up, the plane had already landed and the passengers fetched their bags. I stretched again and then I got up too. The New York airport was even bigger than the one in Los Angeles.
I pushed through the crowds to the exit. In front of the airport, I took a deep breath of New York air. I already missed Los Angeles.
I went to a taxi and got in. Immediately I smelled the strong smell of sweat. The Turkish taxi driver spoke to me, but I could not understand him. "What?" I asked. "Where to?" He asked me slowly. My right hand went to my sports jacket, which I have tied around my waist. After I finally found the small piece of paper, I handed it to the man and he drove off.
Not five minutes later we were already stuck in traffic. Annoyed, I looked at my watch. It was just after seven o'clock.
The traffic jam lasted twenty minutes. In front of me I discovered a small booklet. It was one of New York. I flipped through the pages. The most popular New York buildings and festivals were listed, plus a little insight into the story.
I put the booklet back and left the window down. We drove at walking pace and exactly past the Empire State Building.
Although I was intrigued, I could not stop thinking about Los Angeles and what my friends are doing right now. Are you celebrating xxx in the club? Are you on the beach?
"We're here," the man said in a deep voice. I handed him his money and got out of the taxi. The streets were full of people, so I went down an alley and turned on my phone.
After that I wrote Uncle Iroh that I am there and my friends.
Only three minutes later came a message from my uncle that I should go into the alley opposite the Chinese restaurant, which I did.
Behind me, I heard footsteps. It was my uncle. "Shina.", He called joyfully and took me in the arm. "Hello Uncle." "Let's go. They are already waiting for you. "Uncle Iroh pulled me into the alley and stopped suddenly. "Is what?", I asked perplexed, why he stopped suddenly.
Without a word, he stooped and pushed the manhole cover to one side. "No!" I yelled and stamped my foot on the floor.
"We have to darling." Before I could say anything he climbed down the ladder. "Close the manhole cover behind you," I heard him call from below. Slowly I approached the ladder and began to descend into the sewers. When I reached the bottom step, I looked around. The only light sources were the small cracks that were next to the road. I also heard rats running around. "Stay close behind me. You can easily get lost in this tunnel system. "Silently, I followed Iroh. We went further and further into the tunnels and at some point there were no connections to the surfaces anymore. Instead, a few lights had been placed on the ceiling.
It surprised me very much that it did not stink in the sewers.
At some point the walk was over. It led down three stone steps. Uncle Iroh pulled me down the steps. As we stood on a flat stone floor, Iroh stepped forward. "We're here!" He shouted loudly. The sound of his voice echoed slightly. I looked around. Then I lit up a light that came out of the darkness and what looked like it was shining behind a kind of curtain. A second later, the curtain was pulled aside, revealing a human-sized rat. He wore an old robe that looked Japanese or Chinese and he was a little shorter than me. Probably because of the slightly bent posture. For this he had long nails and a wooden stick on which he easily crashed.
"You must be Shina?", The rat asked me kindly and bowed slightly in front of me. "Yes, Umm .." "Call me Splinter.", He said and smiled at me. ,,OK. I'm glad to meet you, "I said politely, bowing slightly.
Splinter turned to my uncle. "You have a very nice niece. You can be proud of it. "Neckisch pushed my uncle in the side. "Did you hear?" Iroh grinned and asked Splinter, "Where are the boys?" "They're in the living room waiting for you. Follow me. "He led us to the entrance. The curtain was heavier than he looked. Again I looked around and discovered many different things. Skateboards, dumbbells, skipping ropes, pizza boxes, etc. In the middle of the room was a large couch and two large armchairs. When they noticed us, they immediately got up.
My eyes widened slightly. There were four turtles with different masks.
All three were over two meters tall. The exception was the one with the orange mask. He was not as tall as his brothers, but still very tall compared to us. He wore sunglasses and chains.
The one in the purple mask wore glasses and was the largest in the group. The one with the blue mask, as far as my uncle had told me, was the leader.
Far right was the most muscular of the four brothers. I could see Chinese characters in his arms. What do they mean?
He also had a toothpick between his teeth.
Somehow he looked like a sexy bad boy. Wait a moment! What am I thinking?
"Shina, these are my sons. Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo and Raphael. "Everyone bowed slightly, except Michelangelo.
He rushed toward me and hugged me. "I'm so happy to meet you Dudette. Just call me Mickey! The others you can also call by their nicknames and Doni, Leo and Raph. "" Mickey! "Groaned his brothers annoyed in a chorus. He let go of me and beamed at me with big blue eyes.
"I'll show you your room!" Mickey announced, putting his arm around me and leading me down a corridor. "Everyone has their own sweet room. This is your room. It's across from Raphael's room. "Mickey pushed the door down Knob and beamed at me.
I entered the room and looked around. There was a simple bed, a bedside table and a closet. In one corner of the room were the boxes of my personal belongings.
"You should come to the living room." Startled, I turned around. Leo stood in the doorway. "We're on our way," I said, following him. Doni and Raph were already sitting at the table in the kitchen.
I sat between Raph and Mickey.
"Where is Uncle Iroh and Splinter?" "They meditate every evening for a few hours. They want to relax and sharpen their minds, "Doni told me.
,,Aha. And we eat now, right? "I asked, looking at the three pizza boxes that lay on the dining table.
"No, imagine! What did you think? That we are staring at her? "Raphael asked in a surly tone.
My attention was focused on him. "Raphael ...", his brother admonished him, but I can speak for myself. "There are so many empty pizza boxes in your shack, how should I know that these are not just for decoration? Huh? If you would spend more time throwing away the empty boxes than giving stupid and sarcastic answers, I would not have got the idea. "
All four stared at me, especially Raphael. From one second to the next, Doni and Mickey began to laugh loudly. Leo tried to resist, but failed.
When everyone was back in control, Mickey opened the pizza boxes.
There was salami, ham and a meat lover's pizza. Raphael and I were the only ones who preferred the pizza with lots of meat. While Leo, Doni and Mickey told me a lot about them, Raphael stared annoyed at the tabletop.
"Can we ask you questions?" Doni asked me politely.
"Logical." "I start! Do you have a boyfriend? "" No, I do not have Mickey. "" Oh really? "Mickey said, wiggling his eyebrows.
Leo came next. "Have you ever done martial arts or learned how to use a weapon?" "Yes. I can kickboxing, karate and ninjutsu. My weapon is the Sai. "That caught Raph's attention," Wow impressive, "Donatello said, smiling slightly.
After about two hours everyone went to his room. When I entered my room I went first to the boxes. In the top were two picture frames, which I put both on my dessert.
When I did that, I took off my shirt, shoes and jeans. I fished my black sweatpants out of the boxes and went to bed. Before I dimmed the light, I looked at the two pictures. On one were my two parents to see, who smiled contentedly into the camera. On the other, I was on the beach with Diego, Jenny, Rebecca, Cleo, Hunter and Tim and we laughed at the camera ...
I miss my home, my friends and my old life.
