That Girl (I)

Just as a side note, on my profile page it says Laurie is twenty-two in her biography. All I know in terms on the turtles' age is that, from oldest to youngest, it goes: Leo, Raph, Don, and then Mikey. So we're skipping ahead in time to a point where Mikey is a few months older than Laurie. However that follows for Michelangelo's brothers should follow too.

Mikey wasn't too sure why all of his brothers were laughing at him. He'd only told them about Laurie being his girlfriend.

"What's so funny?" the orange clad turtle asked, feeling genuinely confused.

Don came over and put a hand on his brother's shell, "You…have a girlfriend? That's hilarious!" Don grinned with shining amusement.

"Hey!" Mikey snapped now feeling annoyed, "What's wrong with me having a girlfriend?" he demanded.

"It'd never happen shell-for-brains." Raph answered and swatted his brother's should good-naturedly.

"Not true! Laurie's been with me for over two months!" Mikey protested.

"Which is why it has to be a lie," Don snorted.

Mikey glared at his brothers, "Why's that?"

"Because everyone knows you can't keep a secret chuckle-head." Raph answered with a slightly condescending smirk, "So really, who is this Laurie girl?"

"She's…My….Girl…Friend!" Mikey pronounced each word individually to try to get through to his brothers.

"Will you drop it? The joke's not funny anymore." Don sighed.

"Why don't we just ask April?" Leo spoke up at last, "She seems to know this Laurie person too."

"Not a bad idea," Raph snickered, "Catch ya later Mikey!"

Mikey rolled his eyes as he watched his three older brothers dash out of his room to go and find April, "Whatever," he grumbled.

Digging out his shell-cell from under a pile of old Silver Sentry comics, Mikey pressed the 2 on his speed-dial. Number 1 was pizza delivery.

The cell rang twice before a groggy but nonetheless female voice answered from the other end of the line. Mikey smiled.

*Hello…?*

"Hey Laurie."

*Mikey…that you?*

"The one and only."

*Oh, hey…*

"You feel alright? You don't sound so good."

*No, I've been through worse though.*

"Want me to stop by?" Mikey offered, eager to see his girl again.

*You'd be a saint for it, but you don't have to.*

"I want to though; see you in a few."

*Heh, thanks Jello.*

Mikey rolled his eyes at the pet name Laurie used to pester him. "Don't push your luck," The orange clad turtle warned playfully.

*Yeah, yeah,* Laurie giggled, *See you soon Mikey.*

"You bet your shell." He promised.

*Don't have one of those love, but same to you.* She replied with a yawn before the line went dead.

With a smile stretched wide across his face, Michelangelo walked into the kitchen to find some ingredients for tea.

It looked like Mikey would be able to cook for his girl at last.

Next chapter we meet Laurie, Mikey takes care of her, and the other three turtles discover Mikey wasn't joking about Laurie.

And another note to address, this isn't TMNT is TMNT 2003.

Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! If you did, spot a sister a review and tell her what you thought.
