Ch. 2 –
Dude Looks like a Lady and Fun Time!
Raph, Mikey, Leo, Donny and Master Splinter went downstairs and into the shop below the apartment.
"Alright my sons, here we go."
Splinter turned the doorknob, pulled it open as the sunlight blinded them. They looked out to see people just walking around, no one go scared of them as they walked out of the shop.
"Okay you guys, here are the shellcells."
"What for Don?" Leo asked.
"So we can keep in touch, in case anything happens. And since we're human I can finally check out that tech store!" Donny said happily and ran off with dust behind him.
Raph sweatdropped.
"O…k…"
"Master Splinter I believe that there was a new martial arts store around here when were scouting from the rooftops a week ago." Leo said, Master Splinter thought about it.
"Alright my son let us see what they have there."
Leo and Master Splinter walked off leaving Raph and Mikey by themselves.
"Hey! What about us?!?" Raph yelled.
"I don't know! You guys figure it out!" Leo yelled back.
Raph and Mikey watched them leave, Raph looked at Mikey.
"So…what do ya wanna do?" Raph asked Mikey.
"Um…how about that new skate park that just opened up? That could be fun!" Mikey beamed.
Raph muttered whatever as they both started their way down to the new skate park.
Raph and Mikey walked down the street, kids playing with other kids, teens were out enjoying the day with their friends. But some of the teens were enjoying more than just the day. Raph saw Mikey pull behind his left arm, trying to hide. There was only one song that played repeatedly in Mikey's head as the boys' looked at him. Some of the guys were looking at Mikey as they passed through.
"Hey there babe."
One guy said winking, making Mikey twitch and turned his head away. Guys were whistling calling out and heating like dogs, trying to get Mikey's attention. One guy looking about 18 walked up to Mikey and pulled him away from Raph's side.
"Hey there babe what's your name?" The guy grinned.
Mikey would of tried to escape but didn't. It wasn't that he liked it; it was just that the guy was blocking his only escape.
Before Mikey could say anything, three more guys came up to him.
"Hey baby, what's a pretty thang like you doin' here?"
"Hey back off I saw her first!!"
The first guy pushed the second guy away. The third guy went up to –ahem- her. (A/n: -laughing away-)
"Hey there, if I said you had a nice body would you hold it against me." The third guy smirked.
'That's the lousiest line I've ever heard!!' Mikey yelled in his head as his left eye twitched furiously.
Suddenly all three of them were around him; it freaked him out, heck, it would have freaked anyone.
"How 'bout you sit on my lap and we'll talk about the first thing pops up?"
The second guy pulled Mikey by the waist. The first and third guy pulled the second guy away and began to fight…again. Mikey just hit his face in his hand and sighed.
Mikey's cheeks were a light pink from the lousy pick-up lines he was told and the crowed of people around them. Raph was laughing for the first fifteen seconds until he saw the terrified look on Mikey's face, now he was gonna step in. He would've just laughed at the whole thing and let his bro suffer, but as soon as the second guy touched him, like that, he knew that wasn't right and there was gonna be hell to pay. Nobody touched his brothers that way; he'd protect his bros even if they were annoying. Raph quickly thought up a brilliant plan to save him and make him suffer, he then casually walked up to his bro. Mikey stood frozen to the wall looking at the three fighting over him he didn't realize that Raph was walking toward him until he saw Raph standing over him. Mikey let out a 'meep' in surprise, Raph winked at Mikey, who caught on…a little.
"Hey get away from her!!"
"Yea we saw her first!! She's our girl!!" Raph smirked and looked at them in the corner of his eye.
"Funny, cuz your little girlfriend here…"
Raph grabbed the hem of Mikey's shirt and pulled it up.
"…is a boy." Mikey tried to pull his shirt and succeed.
"Why the shell did you flash them for?!?! Heck! Why don't you flash everyone else too while you at it!" Mikey yelled sarcastically, His cheeks a dark pink.
Raph shrugged.
"Okay."
Raph spun Mikey around and flashed the other people that were around. Girls on the streets stopped in their tracks, some took pictures, and others whistled and made catcalls. Mikey yelped.
"Raph!!!"
Raph let go of his shirt and walked off, Mikey soon followed suit by running.
"Why the shell did you do that for Raph?"
Raph chuckled at Mikey's red face.
"Well you said I could."
"I was only kidding you big meanie!!"
Mikey pouted as Raph laughed.
"Aw, did I hurt wittle Mikey's feewings?"
"I'm serious Raph! That wasn't nice!" Mikey's fist clenched at his sides. (Like those anime girls do when they get mad.)
"Keh! Whateva!"
Raph walked off with Mikey trailing behind him. They had soon made it to the skate park and it was beyond amazing. There were a lot of teens there just chatting, skating or skateboarding on the large ramps, food stands, some cops there to make sure the teens didn't make too much trouble. Other than that, it was heaven on Earth for Mikey.
"Awesome this looks like fun! Man if only I brought skateboard!" Mikey said watching some of the teens doing tricks on the ramps.
"Yea that's great Mike now can we get the shell outta here!" Raph said crossing his arms in annoyance.
"Aww, come on Raph lighten up will ya."
"Mikey in case you hadn't noticed you don't have a skateboard and if you wanna rent one you're gonna need money for one, which is somethin' we ain't got!"
Raph pointed out causing Mikey to slouch and did a face default.
"You're no fun Raph, ya know that right?"
"Hey you, blonde!"
Mikey looked around to find the source of the voice.
"You in the orange shirt!"
Finally finding the voice that belonged to a kid as he ran up to them. The kid was dressed in punk clothes, raggedy blue jeans, raggedy black shirt, wristlets (the black ones with the dull triangle spikes on it and stuff.) and dyed dark blue hair with an odd-looking hairstyle. (It looked like Naruto's hair.)
"Hey you guys aren't from around here cuz I sure as hell I ain't seen yas around 'ere."
"Well we just moved in yesterday." Mikey lied.
The teen smiled.
"I'm Daniel, my friends call me Dane. What's your name?"
"I'm Michelangelo; my bros call me Mike or Mikey." He then pointed to Raph.
"And that's one of my bros' Raphael but we call him Raph."
"'S up." Raph answered then looked back at the skateboarders annoyed.
"You guy's skateboard?" Dane asked.
"Yea, I used to skateboard everyday before we moved."
"Then follow me." Mikey followed him back to his friends while dragging Raph.
"Adam, lend me ya board for a minute yeah?"
"Wha for and who are 'day?" His friend Adam asked.
"Dis is Mikey and Raph dere new around 'ere. I'm gonna see wha Mikey's got!"
"Here!" Adam tossed his blue skateboard with light blue wheels.
"Show me whatcha got Mike."
Mikey grabbed the board and started to show what he had while Raph stood by then decided to stay when he saw some girls. Soon after they started to talk about what they liked, then Mikey asked Adam a question.
"Hey Adam, mind if I barrow your board a bit?"
"Sure man, just don't break it."
Mikey grinned, putting the board under his arm and ran to the largest vert ramp he had ever seen. One of Dane's friends, a boy named Juan, turned to ask Mikey something when he saw him running off to the ramp.
"That's suicide! No ones ever been able ta skate on that except for da Purple Drags!"
"Purple Drags?" Raph looked at the one called Juan.
"You never heard of 'em?" He said in shock.
"Nah, I'm new here. Care ta fill me in, who are the Purple Drags?" He was getting interested.
"You see that guy with the navy blue shirt at the very top with aquellos dos tontos people behind him?" [1]
Raph spotted the guy. "Yea what about 'im?"
"Well he's the leader of the Purple Drags, Wolf. He thinks he can do what he wants cause both of his brother's are Purple Dragons."
"Dat would explain da name." Raph said sarcastically.
"Sí!" Juan agreed, crossing his arms. [2]
"'ey who do ya thing ya are coming on our tiff!"
"Dis ain't for baby! Go on home to yo mama pretty boy!!"
"Hey Big D what's da racket?"
"This punk, boss!"
The teen jumped or slid down on the latter down and landed hard, it looked like it hurt but he tried to play it off. The guy wearing a beyond raggedy navy shirt, black baggy jeans and black hair a spikes. (Looks like Gaara's hair.)
"Whatcha doing 'ere? Dis ain't the kiddy area. Da kiddy areas over dere!"
He laughed with his eyes closed, so did his gang. When he opened his eyes Mikey was gone.
"Hey get down from dere!" They turned around to see that Mikey had started climbing the latter while they were laughing.
"Hey, you wanna board that bad? Then hows about a bet?"
Mikey stopped climbing and looked back at the teen.
"What kinda bet?" He asked
"Show ya best moves and don't fall off da ramp‼ And if you lose you have join the Purple Drags an' by our dog!"
"And if I win what do I get?"
"Uh…I don't know uh-50 bucks, now how bout it?"
"Deal!"
Wolf went on to the other side of the ramp with his board looking ready to hunt.
"Didja hear?!?!? Some kid made a bet with Wolf!"
"Wha!?!? Who?"
"Some kid in an orange shirt."
"What did dey bet on?"
"If the blonde won he'd get 50 bucks!"
"And if he loses?"
"Then he has ta join da Purple Drags as deir dog!"
"¿Su perro…?" Juan looked at Raph. [3]
"Damnit! I gotta get Mikey outta there!" Raph ran off
"Ahhh! Raph stop! ¡Espera! ¡Párese!" Juan ran after him. [4]
Raph pushed by some people, almost near Mikey 'til a group of the Purple Drags cut him off.
"No one goes in 'til da battles over!"
"'Battle'? I thought it was just a bet?!?" Raph started getting pissed.
The teens snickered.
"We know da, but da blond boy don't do he!" Raph was ready to pound him. Dane and Adam, who were in the crowd had to jump in front of him to hold him back while Juan held him from behind.
"Get outta my way!!" Raph snarled.
"We can't do da!" Dane yelled.
"They'll kill ya if ya do!!" Adam agreed.
"Not if I kill 'dem first!!" Raph countered, regretting that he left his Sais at April's.
"¡¡Usted es loco!! ¡¡Usted sabe esto!!! ¡¡Usted es insano!!" Juan shouted while struggling to hold him back. [5]
Mikey hops on the skateboard and rides down, so does Wolf with something hiding behind his back. Wolf passes by Mikey and hits him with a flexible thin wire on the side of his arm. Mikey winces as he goes up the other side of the ramp, Wolf does the same. Both did the Method Air perfectly, coming back down, Wolf ready to swing at Mikey. Mikey saw it, crouched down a little and did The Backflip before Wolf's wire could hit him. Both went back up then came down again, Wolf tossed his wire aside and swung his fist but hit nothing 'til out of the corner of his eye he saw Mikey behind him. Mikey had jumped off the board and over Wolf's arm before it had touched him, he jumped so high and so fast it hardly seemed possible.
Wolf watched in rage as Mikey landed perfectly on the board and did another perfect Backflip and onto the Deck, top of the ramp.
"Hey! That's cheating ya know!" Mikey yelled to the other side were Wolf was.
"I didn't say I'd play fair!!" Wolf yelled back.
Mikey thought for a moment then he grinned his goofy smile.
"How's about we settle this a different way! We each do one trick; whoever does the better trick wins."
Wolf thought about it then…
"Deal!"
Mikey let Wolf go first and just stood and watched. Wolf went down on his skateboard went back and forth twice, on the third way back he did the McTwist and nailed it. Some people cheered, some booed. Mikey looked down for a few seconds then was ready. Raph saw 'that' look on Mikey's face he knew what Mikey was gonna do.
"Mikey…don't do it. Don't do 'that' move." Raph whispered to himself.
He remembered when Mikey was 10 and he tried to do 'that' move, fell and broke his leg. Mikey went down the other way; there was another ramp that was partly connected with the one he was on, a large Half-pipe. Once Mikey was down on the other side he took off like a bullet, went up the ramp then did what Raph had feared. Mikey did The Road Gap Rocket Air 180; no one could even do it right without breaking some part in their body. Everyone was quite as they watched Mikey pretty much fly through the air; Raph clenched his fits and watched, hoping he would make it. Then…he landed perfectly on the other side of the ramp where Wolf was!!!! Everyone cheered as Mikey landed, Raph sighed in relief. Wolf was pissed, not only did he have to pay up but he was humiliated in front of everyone.
"Hey!" Mikey turned around then…-WHAM-
"AAHHHHHHHAAA‼‼"
Wolf punched Mikey in the face and sent him flying off the top and down to the ground. There were screams and gasps as Mikey fell.
"MIKEY!! NO!!!" Raph yelled.
He pushed through Dane, Adam and the Purple Drags to Mikey.
'I'm comin' Mike! I'm comin'!!!!' Raph screamed in his head.
He stopped half a foot away from the ramp and reached his arms up to the sky.
"MIKE!! I GOT YA‼"
Mikey heard Raph and somehow turned with his arms reaching down into Raph.
"RAPHIE!!!"
Mikey's hands latch on to Raph's upper back as Raph caught him a few inches under Mikey's arms. Almost losing his balance Raph did a quick spin and genteelly puts Mikey down right in front of him.
"You okay Mikey?!?" Raph asked quietly with concern, his hands still under Mikey's arm in case he would collapse.
Mikey was a little shaken from the fall; tears were visible in his eyes as though he was ready to cry.
"Y-yea…I'm a little shaky and my left cheek hurts, other than that I'm fine."
Suddenly Raph pulled Mikey into his arms, holding him tightly.
"You idiot…don't ya ever do that again! I thought I almost lost ya there, and Master Splinter would've killed me!" Raph said near his ear, Mikey hugged him back with a small smile on his face.
"I'm okay…really." He said with somewhat of a happy, sad grin.
Behind them you can see the cops chasing the Purple Drags around the place before they ran out the entrance. They both let go when Dane, Adam and their friends ran up to them.
"Yo Mikey!! That was sick!!"
"¡Usted es loco! But I like it!"
"No one's evea done dat before and still walk on two feet!!" Mikey just smiled and said it was nothing.
Raph smiled too, he was just happy he didn't lose him. But there was something in the back of his head that was nagging at him. He shrugged it off and kept smiling.
