Hello my wonderful readers! This was kind of inspired by my Donnie's Musical Moments story, but I decided it would be too long and deserved to be a story by it's self, since I plan on giving it multiple chapters. I hope you enjoy it.
It was another peaceful afternoon, hanging out with the turtles when her phone started ringing. She answered and to her surprise, it was an old friend of hers.
"Yeah, uh-hu, I'll talk to my aunt, Ok?" She muttered to the phone.
"Who was that?' Leo asked.
"An old friend of mine. She says she misses me and wants to have a girl's night tomorrow." She said distastefully.
"What's a girl's night and why don't you like them?" Mikey inquired.
"It's where girls have like a sleep over where they do each other's hair, nails, watch sappy or scary movies, play would you rather or truth or dare, complain about their problems and talk about boys and crushes." She wrinkled up her nose.
"Huh, I thought you would have enjoyed stuff like that." He replied.
"If I was that girly, do you think I would hang out with a bunch of mutated reptiles in a sewer and train in martial arts?" She responded dryly.
"No..." He trailed off.
"Exactly, and I know I'll be stuck doing it, because my aunt has been harping at me to spend time with my other friends." She sighed
"Hey, if it makes you feel any better, we could have our own party here after you get back." Donnie volunteered.
She could feel herself brighten. "Really?"
"S-s-sure!" He stuttered with his cheeks a rosy shade of pink. Why was he embarrassed?
"Are you guys up for it?" She asked, and they all nodded. "Thanks! Awesome idea Donnie!" She leaned over to where he sat and gave him a quick hug. The pink flared into red, and she still didn't know what he was embarrassed about.
"Who is your best friend anyways?" Leo asked.
"Her name is Ellie Johanson. She's quite a bit shorter than I am, with a big attitude to make up for it. She has coppery brown hair and grey eyes, and she's been a good friend of mine since we met in a ballet class we both took."
"You, take ballet?" Raph looked at her incredulously.
"Yeah, I was forced to, but once Ellie and I met, we wrecked havoc in the class. We managed to get ourselves kicked out of the class, much to our delight." She remembered with a chuckle.
"So how is the girl's night a bad thing?" Leo inquired.
"She's too curious for her own good." She sighed. "She's going to want to know who all of you are, what you look like, how do I know you guys, and why do I hang out with you so much. She's tried doing stuff like this before, because all she knows is I hang out with four guys a lot and it is vital that my aunt doesn't know about them."
"Why don't you just lie then?" Raph said bluntly.
She glared at him. "It is very, very bad to lie to your good friends."
"I'm sure you can think of something. Besides, how's she going to know you're lying? It's not like she's ever going to see us." Donnie reasoned.
"I guess." she reluctantly admitted. "I still don't like it, though. I better get going, to get 'ready'. Bye guys, I'll see you after this stupid sleep over."
A chorus of "Bye!" 's followed her as she left the cozy lair, and trudged back home. She glanced up at the sky, and was surprised to see how clear it was. There might have even been a star visible amongst the helicopter and airplane lights above.
She finally arrived back at the apartment, "Hey!" She called to her aunt. "Ellie wants to have a girl's night at her house, mind if I go? "
"Sure! You go right ahead!" She gushed, eager to send her on her way. "You've been neglecting your best friend for the new ones you hang out with all the time. What are their names again."
"Uhhh, Donitelle, Michaela, Leona, and Rachael. "
"Oh! Ok, I remember you telling me that now." She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ok, I'm going to go call Ellie and tell her that I'm going."
"Good!"
As soon as she reached her room, she pulled out her phone and texted Ellie to tell her the news. Her reply was almost instantaneous, gushing about how much fun it was going to be. She inwardly groaned, I better start thinking of lies now.
To everyone watching me for updates, especially for How it all started; I'M SO SORRY! I've been super busy, plus, I've become obsessed with TMNT, and a bunch of other stuff. I've been visiting one of my sisters, helping to plan a party, and taking care of my mom because she has hernia surgery tomorrow. I haven't had a bunch of time to write, and I didn't think I could write anything else until this idea was out of my head. I promise that Ellie is only going to be a minor character, and the main focus is going to be set on Apritello. I hope I can update more later, and be sure to let me know what you think in the reviews!
