April's POV
'Do you like my Brother?'
What did Mikey mean by That. He wasn't Specific. I groaned as turned in my bed. The next second, my alarm clock went off. "Fine!" I yelled, Throwing a pillow at the Screaming object, Silencing it. After got dressed, I headed out to grab a bite at Murikami's. That's my Favorite Spot I go to on Saturday's. As i walked in i saw The Blind chef/owner of the restaurant, Mr. Murikami Stirring contents of What seems to be soup. "Good Morning, Murikami-San," He smiled, Glad to hear my voice. " Ah, Young April. What Would You like today?" Before I could respond, I heard a Gruff voice say, "Ohayo Gozaimasu, Murikami," I turned to see who it was. Raph.
"Good Morning, Young Raphael. What would you like?" Murikami asked. "You know," He said, Sitting Next to me. "The Usual." I stared at him for a second. "What?" He asked, Looking at his hands. "You speak Japanese? I asked, Smiling. He Turned towards me. "You're Really Curious, You know That right?" I Presented a confident Grin. " I know. He smirked Before looking back down. "How'd you get this," I asked.
He looked at me. " Get what?" "This." Before I stopped myself, I pressed a finger against a scar located on his collarbone. "Freshman year, Fight." He chuckled. "We were friends for Years, but then i saw him Ganging up on Donnie. You know for a Maniac who hangs with me all day, I wouldn't have thought he had a switchblade. Got a nasty cut, But I survived." I Slightly smiled. "You're very protective of your Brothers," I said, Then Smiled.
"Tough Guy" "Really?" He asked. I nodded, Proudly. "OK...Give me your hand."
My smile disappeared. "Raph, What are you-" "Give me your hand," he said, cutting me off. Murikami set our Food down. "Pizza Gyoza," He Announced. "Arigatou," Raph said. I narrowed my eyes, once He left. "Hands," I sighed and Held out my hands. "Close your eyes," He said next. "Real-" "Close 'em!" I shut my eyes. He took my hand and started saying something in Japanese.
Unfortunately the only word I could make out was "Knife". When I felt a sharp pinch, my eyes threatened to open. "No." After 5 minutes I assumed it was done. "Open,"He said. "What did you do," I wondered. "You'll see." His phone Buzzed. Soon after Checking it, he groaned. "Mikey's Stuck in a Tree...Again. Gotta go." "OK, I said. He put down a 20, Flashed me one last smile and ran out. I looked down at my wrist, Which had 4 connected lines. It was An "R" I Smiled.
Leo's POV
"He's Not coming Down?" I asked. "He's not coming down," Donnie responded. There we were, at the park, staring up at a Terrified Mikey, who somehow climbed a tree, but won't come back down. 1 minute later, I saw Raph running up to the scene. "What happened?" He asked. "We came here cause Mikey kept whining about The park, But I guess we weren't paying attention, until we saw him screaming his head off, while stuck...in This tree," Donnie explained.
Raph walked over to the tree. "Mikey," He called. "You need to come down," Mikey shook his head. "Do you want to jump?"I asked. Mikey shook his head frantically. "I can't come up there, so you're gonna have to jump" Raph said. Mikey looked down at his brother, warily. "Mikey, I'll catch you," "You sure?" Mikey asked, Accidentally slipping a hand, causing him to scream. "Mikey! it's OK, He'll catch you." I yelled back up at him. Mikey eyed us for a few seconds. "O-OK, I-I'm Gonna Jump." He said. Raph held out his arms, while Mikey hesitated.
Then He jumped.
I held my breath as Mikey screamed while falling. 10 seconds after leaping off the tree, he landed in Raph's outstretched arms. He Trembled. "Give him Here," I said. Raph passed Mikey to me as we started walking home. "Leo," Mikey said. I looked down at him. "Yeah?" He snuggled closer into me. "I think I'm afraid of heights," He said. I chuckled. "I know."
Donnie's POV
The Day passed by slowly. After the whole "Tree" Incident, we went Straight home. when we walked inside, Mikey made a beeline straight for his room. Everybody went their separate ways, as I stayed in the living room. Anyway, I was just reading a book, when I heard the doorbell ring. Opening the Door, It revealed to be April. "Hey," she said. "I heard about What happened. Is He OK?" I shrugged.
"He should be fine, he's just in shock, I guess. He locked himself inside his room and refuses to come out." April nodded, Understandingly. She walked inside, sitting on the floor. "So, where is everybody?"She asked.
"Doing Their own thing. I'll go get them." I said, Walking off. April got up and walked around. She looked at pictures, Mementos, But stopped when she saw Something odd. "Ahem," April jumped at the interruption. She saw it was her friends. "Sorry... I was just looking." She apologized. Taking in the background, she cocked her head. "Where's Mikey?" "Still in his room," Leo answered. "And where would that be?" April asked, Grinning. "Upstairs, Second Door to the Right, Why?"I asked. "Thanks," Was all she said, Before dashing upstairs.
We looked at each other confused, when suddenly we heard April yell, "Dang, Mikey, you're Heavy!" She came into our line of vision as we saw her carry Mikey in her arms. She threw him down on the couch, as we approached them. "The Only reason I let you carry me down here was because you're not one of my brothers," He Grumped. "If I got you a week's worth of pizza, would you feel better? She Bribed.
Mikey Perked up. "Yup, ALL better." "We'll now that you're better, Who wants to Play a game?"She asked. "I got an idea," Raph said. "Wait, What are you-" "I am Lord Tragon and I am here to claim the princess." Without warning, He grabbed April by The legs and drooped her over his shoulder. "If you want her back, then you must defeat me and slay my royal guards" And with that he dashed off. "Sir Mikey, HELP!" April cried before they disappeared. Me and Leo got the idea and decided to play along. "Sir Mikey! You must Save Princess April from Lord Tragon Before she gets Destroyed!" I Yelled, Desperately. i hadn't noticed Leo had left, but had reappeared two seconds later with a wooden sword and aluminum shield.
Mikey Hopped up in excitement "C'mon, Sir Mikey, Lets go save the Princess!" Leo Cheered. Mikey threw on his Cape, Grabbed his "weapons"and struck a Heroic pose. "Let's Go!" He yelled. We all charged. After all the commotion, Mikey ended up saving April and Destroying "Tragon". "Well, My job's Done." April said, satisfied. "I'll be out of your hair."
Before reaching the door, someone Grabbed her wrist. She turned to see it was Raph. "I forgot to give you this,"He handed her a tiny box. She looked at for a second then, back up at him. "Thanks," She said, quietly, Then a little louder,"Bye Mikey." Said person hopped over to her. "Bye, Ape" He said, then gave her a hug. Once released, she called out,"Bye Guys."
She gave Raph one last look then left. He smiled. Little did He know Mikey still lurked behind him, with a cheesy smile on his face. He crept behind him, stood on tippy-toes and whacked him upside the head and ran. "Mikey!" Raph yelled and charged after him. I looked at Leo and He looked at me and shrugged. What are you Gonna do?
April's POV
Once I got home, I told Dad I'm gonna skip Dinner and headed to my room. After i changed, I sat on my bed. I stared at the mark on my wrist for a couple of minutes Before noticing the box on my Desk. When I opened it, I Smiled, But then it disappeared. I grabbed my phone and called my other friend, Isabelle. "Hello? She answered after two rings. "Izzy, I think I have a problem." I said, Twisting the Necklace around my Finger. 'I guess Mikey was Right'
