2- Meeting

Kuronique Misaki thanks for the favorite

When I get up I look to my dirty clothes and I realize that what happened yesterday was real. There are Kraang in New York and they know where I am. It is just not fair. I came here to live a normal life but even here I am not safe. Well, if something happens I will know how to handle it. I will not tell this to my family. I do not want to scare them.

I have breakfast trying not to think about it. I have to imagine this has not happened and life a normal life. Today I will continue looking for a job in the other side of the city. No, I won´t, today I have got to rest and relax, I will go to Central Park, yes that is a good idea. So I take my skateboard and go to Central Park. It is wonderful. I could spend here my whole life. It is so big and green…I am thinking of how beautiful it is when suddenly I hit a girl and both of us fall down

-Oh, I am so sorry; I was too distracted, are you Ok?

-Yes, I am Ok, never mind. It was not your fault, I was distracted too

I help her get up

-Hi, my name is Izzie and I moved yesterday to NY, and you?

-I am April, welcome to NY, Izzie

-Thank you

-Where did you come from?

-I came from Spain

-Oh Spain is a lovely place with lots of bulls and like bullfighters, flamenco dancers and guitars

-Hahaha yes! Everyone imagines Spain like that but do not think that we have bulls in our houses or we dress up like flamingo dancers or everyone plays the guitar. There are more normal people than you think hahaha

-Oh what a disappointment! says sarcastically and both of us laugh.-Hey, are you hungry?

-Yes, do you know somewhere we could eat?

-Welcome to NY, Izzie, where almost anything is eatable

She takes me to a Japanese restaurant. I love Japanese food. When we go inside the restaurant there is nobody.

-Murakami-san? -. April says. Suddenly a blind old chef appears

-April, it is good to see you again, who is your friend?

-Her name is Izzie, she comes from Spain

-Oh, Spain, that is a lovely place with lots of bulls, bullfighters, flamenco dancers and guitars, isn't it Izzie?

-Well, the real thing is that not everybody is like that

-Hahaha, I know, I know, but every country has something characteristic.

-Yes, it does…April, what do you think I should eat?

-Mmmm, pizza gyoza

-Pizza? Wasn't this a Japanese restaurant?

-Yes, it is, but it is not a normal pizza…you´ll see. Murakami-san, two serves of pizza gyoza, please

After a few minutes Mr. Murakami came with our pizzas, but there was no pizza; it seemed like a Mexican taco. I got my chopsticks, closed my eyes, opened my mouth…and then I felt like my brain had exploded. I had never tasted something so delicious in my whole life. I could not control myself and ordered more of that ``pizza´´.

-Wow, this is great!- I said with my mouth full of food.

I spent all the afternoon talking to them. I never thought I would make friends so easily. I´m not very good making friends but here it seems easy. It was nine o´clock when April had to leave. I said goodbye to her and stayed in the restaurant with Mr. Murakami

-Mr. Murakami, I am looking for somewhere to work, do you know any place where I could go?

-Well, I´m afraid I don´t but if I ever hear from somebody who needs workers I will tell you

-Thank you

-Izzie, I think you should leave now

-Right now? Why?

-This place is dangerous after half past nine; I don't want you to get into trouble

-Ok, Murakami-san, I´m leaving now, thanks for everything, bye.

I picked up my things and left the restaurant. After a few steps I heard some noises coming from the restaurant. I know I should go home but…I went in the direction of the restaurant and when I got there, there was a gang of boys threatening Murakami-san. In that moment I knew I wouldn't last one day without having a fight. I got inside the restaurant and said

-Leave him alone or you´ll suffer the consequences

-Oh, what do we have here? A little toddler, do you want us to lead you to the kindergarten?

-Maybe I am the one who has to lead you to hospital

As they realize I won´t leave the place the fight starts. They're a lot but I think I have punches for everyone…well, I haven't, I was wrong; I'm starting to get tired…

But suddenly, when I am almost falling tired they came. The group of kung fu lizards I saw yesterday. They started to kick and hit the whole gang and saved Murakami and I. when I saw them yesterday I thought they were a group of freaks who had come out of a costume festival, but they were like…superheroes, I could say. Their costumes were amazing! They seemed real. One of them, the one with swords helped me get up

-Thank you for saving us-. I said to him

-Oh, never mind, I am sure you would have been able to handle it.-He smiles

-I think I saw you yesterday, didn't I?

-Well, that is possible, were you that girl who was fighting the Kraang?

-That is possible too. Nice to meet you, I am Izzie- I shake their hands

-Nice to meet you too Izzie. These are my brothers: Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo and I am Leonardo

-Your costumes are great! You look like real kung fu lizards

-These are not costumes, and we are Ninja Turtles…
