"Crap dead end!" I said to myself as I made a wrong turn in an alley. What in the world have me and Kira gotten ourselves into?! We're being chased for some odd reason by the most ruthless gang in Manhattan, the Purple dragon, but just earlier we had gotten off the plane and nothing happened. Okay I'm getting ahead of myself, why don't I tell you what happened from the very beginning, about two weeks ago.
"OMG!" Rachael squealed as she read the letter I had gotten from the record company. I had sent a few songs to them, trust me they weren't the best songs in the world, but they were passionate and very much stories about us, "I can't believe it they're gonna let us go to New York for a week to work on the contract, and maybe go over the guide lines, of what they're looking for, and what we're agreeing to." Chloe said still not very sure of the whole thing. "But you didn't read under the lines they can only send two people at a time since it is summer and there are a lot of tourist around the city, so all the flights are booked for another two weeks. Oh well, at least we got the tickets early, we're just gonna have to fly on different days." I said waving the tickets around, and reading the letter. So everyone agreed to go on a specific day and meet up after getting a hold of one another on our cell phones. After two weeks of waiting and talking about who'd get the first flight, we agreed that me Kira should take the first one because I could stand her, mostly; or so I thought.
"Kira what are you doing now?" I asked slapping my forehead pretending as though I don't even know who this weirdo was. "I'm anointing the plane, what does it look like I'm doing Naomi." she said continuing to anoint the plane and the people on it which she didn't realize one of them was Hindu, but I handled it. After we got in our seats, I decided to play a few songs of ours that we had recorded to see if I could juice them up a little, while Kira was acting like Rachael with her split personality she has. For a while I tuned her out taking in the rhythm of the songs I had on my ipod, I was just about to fall asleep when, "Hey Naomi," Kira said pulling one of my earpieces out "Ugh! What do you want Kira?" I said sitting up to hear what she had to say.
"What if… we saw the teenage mutant ninja turtles?" Kira squealed "Um… Kira, they're not real." I said really annoyed by the question, not like I wanted to listen in the first place, I knew it was probably going to be something really stupid, and yet I still listen don't I? I looked at Kira who gave me a blank look, then yelled "I'm going to find the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!!!!!" I slouched in my chair hoping no one noticed me sitting next to her "Alright if your done playing Christopher Columbus, would you please do me the favor of sitting that black behind of yours back in your seat?" I demanded snatching her arm and pulling her back into her seat, Kira did nothing but glare at me with her golden brown eyes; of course I ignored her, then she went back to her normal self and asking different questions about the TMNT characters, then she asked me one of the stupidest questions I will never forget "If you had to date one of the TMNT characters which one would it be?" "Oh, that's easy it would be Rap- -" I paused blushing with embarrassment, I could not believe that I was actually answering her questions and I was listening to her. Then I turned away, because Kira grinned ear to ear, I tried to ignore her mischievous stare but I could feel it burning my flesh, so I turned around to meet the goofy smile, and said "What?" very annoyed and embarrassed by the grin she had, I was pretty sure that I was fixing to throw her off the plane, but I held myself down and waited patiently for an answer. "You like Raphael, don't you?" she said pointing at me. "So?! You like Donnie!" I said very accusingly good Lord this kid and her split personality, then she sat there with that stupid shocked look on her face, the only one Rachael would make in a situation, and I was acting like Chloe, why in the world does she do this? "Naomi! I can't believe you think it bothers me, trust me on this one I'm not Rachael" Kira said being herself once again, it's amazing how I can keep up with this woman. "Okay can we please stop talking? People are starting to stare." I said shielding my green eyes with my hand trying to ignore the daggers they were giving me, like I'm the one who started the whole thing.
Soon they all stopped looking, then fell asleep afterwards, and so did I, I don't know what that crazy girl was doing and I didn't care either, all I remember was waking up to the voice of the captain over the intercom telling us that we were about to land. I sat up I my seat and looked over at Kira to see her asleep. 'finally' I thought to myself I looked around the cabin and something strange yet all too familiar caught my eye, I shot my head in that direction to see a familiar face, it was a muscular man that looked the size of a gorilla, with blonde hair in a braid, beady eyes, that flickered with anger, and three scars that ran down his cheek, I looked down to see if I could find his tattoo but he was wearing a jacket so I couldn't tell if it was him or not, but I didn't bother to wake up Kira, because knowing her she'd probably start hellishly screaming and try to get off the plane so I left her there and just watched his movements, I knew if I did anything he'd probably break me in two then try to jack the plane, it didn't look like he had a problem getting on the plane anyway, so why would he have a problem taking over?
After we landed I started to wake Kira roughly, I could not stay on the plane any longer "Kira! Wake up! It's time to get off the plane, so other people can get on!" I said trying to get her up, dang she's a heavy sleeper! Finally I got her to wake up and she was about to open her big mouth to talk except my hand came down over it and I said "No questions, we have to get off the plane I'll explain it once we get out of the air port." I grabbed my hand bag I had brought on the plane with me and made sure that Kira got off with everything she came with, then we were in the airport waiting for our bags.
"Okay we're in the airport, what was your problem? I've never seen you like that before!" Kira said very sternly waiting for my reply. This woman is gonna ask me so many questions during this trip, I know that now. "Okay, I'll tell you.. You know that big guy I was sitting next to on the plane, who did he remind you of?" I asked hoping she wasn't so much like Rachael that she wouldn't get it. It took her a minute or two, then her eyes widened, and since she was so speechless she ended up talking to me in sign language. "h-Ha- Hahn!" was all she able to get out of her mouth, "yeah I know! But the only thing is I don't know if he's the actual Purple Dragon or not." I said shrugging it off as if it didn't worry me. "how could you not know if he was?" she said grabbing my arms and shaking me a little. "Listen weirdo! He had his jacket on so I couldn't tell. And if he was a Purple Dragon he had a reason to keep it on!" I said shoving her off and grabbing my suitcase off the luggage carrier, then grabbing hers and handing it to her.
Once we got through the security and were in the taxi, we discussed, well mostly argued about that dude, and what he was doing on the plane coming to New York, and not away from it, we also argued about whether he was, a purple dragon or just a figment of our imagination! but both of us imagining the same thing. that's a little creepy! After that little escapade, we got out of the cab because there ended up being traffic, but we were only a few blocks away from the Tremont to begin with, so we decided to walk. Then we realized we had the wrong idea, all of the sudden our most dreaded fear of getting mugged, was actually on the verge of happening, two strange, buffed up dudes jumped us but me being in a self defense class for two months paid off and we got away, but we still had to run as more gang bangers had showed up and that's how we ended up in a back alley, with a dead end. "we gone die" Kira said over and over again, so clasped my hand over her mouth again motioning her to shut up, I looked around the alley a while looking for a fire escape, nothing, then I looked down and spotted a manhole, so I opened it up and pulled Kira in after me we both fell with a splash, "Uh Naomi? Think I sprain my ankle." Kira said while she was still on top of me. "well I might be dying from suffocation, since you're sitting on me with your big butt." I said gasping for air, but she wouldn't get up
"get off me before you brake a rib" I said squirming from under her, "not until you take it back" She said, at this point I could feel my face turning a bright purple. "I'm sorry, now get off!" I gaped, she shrugged and got up off of me and I immediately took in a huge breath, I never thought I would ever appreciated breathing before, but as you can tell, I was thankful for it. "ok, so now what do we do?" Kira said, looking around a little "I'm not sure," I replied getting up trying to ring all the nasty water out of my shirt and dust my jeans off 'great these are my favorite pair of jeans and I won't be able to wear them again.' I thought to myself, then I saw something flicker out of the corner of my eye, I turned my head in the same direction, then motioned Kira to follow, but she just stood there. I turned around and saw her leaning against the ladder we failed to see in the first place, "Kira we ain't got time to play patty cake." I said very annoyed at this point, "Naomi, I wasn't playing when I said I think I sprain my ankle." she said crossing her arms, "fine, come here!" I said grabbing her arm and resting it over my shoulder to help her out, then we headed towards the light.
Once we got in about three feet of it you could hear voices, almost like someone was watching TV, then of course Kira grinned, very proudly giving me that look saying 'I so told you', of course I looked at her with that ' you might of told me something but I can still drop you like a sack potatoes' look, immediately she stopped grinning. Well we managed to get there quickly we made a left, but without knowing it we were on a ledge and so we fell and ate it. All you could hear was Kira moaning and groaning, I began to stand up slowly, making sure I didn't break anything, everything seemed to be normal, and as crazy as it sounds we were actually in the lair of the Teenage mutant ninja turtles, for once my attitude actually change from angry to amazed and embarrassed, the split personality, psycho chick was actually right but there's one tiny problem; no turtles. But that didn't stop Kira any, immediately she hobbled over to the computer where on TV you'd mainly find Donnie, "Whoa! This is so cool look at all these files on the purple dragon, this is amazing!" Kira stammered but of course the first thing that happens hwen she touches it is she has to break it, "oops!" was all I heard I rolled my eyes at her and whacked her upside the head. "would you please stop being a pain? I don't even know if we're supposed to be down here." I exclaimed putting my hands on my hips, of course Kira just rolled her eyes and gave me that 'yes mother' attitude. Once again she made it to where I was acting like Chloe, oh well! At least this time I wasn't acting like Grandma Joe, if I was we we'd be in trouble for sure. Then I felt someone else's presence and it didn't feel inviting.
