Well, now is not the time to get writers block… Hope the characters aren't too OOC.
The following day, the girls decided to find April after school and hang out. After looking around some halls and rooms she might have been in, they gave up and started for home. That was when they saw her, but she wasn't by herself. April O'Neil was standing in a group of kids she would have never been seen with before.
What surprised them even more was that she was really, really close to one of the boys. The boy was named Casey. Casey Jones was a self-declared daredevil who was always riding around on his decked out bike. He had jet black hair and a black bandana tied around his head.
"She is NOT!" Riley whispered to her sister. They glanced at each other and at their friend with a new group. "Did she just.. just ditch us?"
"Not us." Koda replied. "The guys."
"Oh. I see how it is." Riley abruptly turned around and stopped off towards their apartment.
Koda took a second look at April and found the girl laughing at a joke the Jones boy had said before following her sister. It didn't make sense to the girls. Leo had told Koda that April was mad and had left on a low note. Koda had tried to comfort him say that she was just scared at the thought of losing her father again and would be back in no time.
It had never occurred to either of the girls that their friend might actually leave their little group for good. She had known the turtles the longest and had a fairly strong relationship with Donnie.
Koda had caught up and fell into step beside Riley again. "What are you doing?"
The blonde looked up from her T-phone. "Someone has to tell the guys what's going on."
"Don't tell me you're messaging Mikey. It'll break his heart." Koda tried snatching the device from her sisters hand.
"Of course not!" Riley cried out moving her phone out of Koda's reach. "Donnie should be the first to know."
"WHAT!?" Koda freaked. Tackling her sister to the ground Koda fought for the T-phone.
The clearing of the a throat cause the girls to stop and look up to find April and Casey staring down at them. "Who should be the first to know what?" April asked.
"Our, umm, folks should know that, uh, we.. ah. Koda…" Riley tried to come up with a explanation.
Koda rolled her eyes. "The need to know that Milo kept us up all night with annoying questions."
"Yeah. And Koda failed her first test because of it." Riley smiled slyly.
"Yeah right." April looked at the device in Riley's hand. "I see."
Casey, who had been quiet up until know finally spoke. "That's a cool phone you have there. Where'd you get it?"
Both girls looked at the phone and back up at the newcomers, realising they were busted. "The phone?" Riley was lost again.
"It was custom made." Koda covered. "Not many out there like it."
April had enough. "Hey Case, let's go. I think these guys have other, more important things to do."
The two walked away then, leaving the twins on the ground. Although April didn't look back again, Casey turned around and gave a wave before April hit him and started walking faster.
The girls looked at each other again in defeat. April really was mad and it was possible she wasn't coming back to the turtles.
"Oh no." Riley whispered. "How are we going to explain this to the guys?"
"We don't have to right now. Remember Rye, she just lost her dad and we did choose the guys over her." Koda said.
"I hope she comes to her senses." Riley stood up and held a hand out for her sister. "But maybe we shouldn't tell the guys."
Koda grabbed the outstretched hand and pulled herself up, rolling her eyes "That's a great idea Rye, how did you ever come up with it?"
"Oh, shut it."
The turtles weren't expecting any help from the girls till later that evening so they decided to head home after and catch up on some school work. All the late nights trying to find Mr. O'Neil and clean up the city were not helping their grades.
Taking a new route they decided to scan for fallen canisters of mutagen. Just because they weren't with the guys didn't mean they couldn't keep looking. The whole way home there were no canisters to be found, clean up was going smoothly and Donn estimated no more than 50 needed to be found.
Entering the apartment both girls jumped back in fear. There, right on their kitchen table was one of the canisters that were needed to be found.
"Hey guys, how was school?" Milo came from the hallway with a wrench in his hand. Realising they were staring wide eyed at the canister he smiled. "Isn't it cool? Our science teacher gave it to us to study."
"Do you know what that is?" Koda managed to get out. "What do you mean he gave it to you to study? Don't you touch it!"
"Woah, Koda, calm down. Now, what are you talking about?" Milo asked his older sister.
Riley went over and grabbed the wrench from his hand. "She talking about that." She pointed at the mutagen. "Why did your science teacher give it to you?"
"What's it to you guys anyway?" Milo lunged for the wrench again. "Your just jealous you don't have anything this cool."
"No, we do work with this stuff Milo." Koda pulled herself together. "And if you don't want to talk to us, then maybe we have to take a little trip."
"A trip? You have this too?" Milo was confused.
"Rye, grab that canister." Koda instructed as she ran to her room. Returning she held her own TPhone and opened the door. "Milo, you're going to explain this to the turtles.
"What do those guys have to do with this stuff?" Milo was more than confused now.
"We'll explain on the way."
The trio made it out the door and were almost at a good alley to turn down when they ran into April and Casey. April had glare on her face while Casey had a big smile and was waving like crazy. It wasn't until they were closer when they saw he had something in his hand.
"Is that.." Riley started.
"Hey guys! Look what April has." Casey yelled down the street.
"Hey, that looks like yours." Milo pointed out to his sisters.
"Yeah it's another something the guys can explain to you." Koda pushed him, and the canister he was now holding, behind them.
Casey and April now stopped in front of them. "April has one of these phone things too."
"Yeah, we all got one." Koda explained.
"We were actually going to get one for Milo here." Riley said.
"Seriously! I get one too!" Milo peered over his sister's shoulders.
Casey looked at them. "Hey how about we tag along and I can pick one up too."
A look of fear and then slyness crossed over April's face. "That's a good idea Case."
"Um, I actually don't think it is." Koda tried covering up again. "Remember how long it takes just to get one of them. Getting a couple would take forever."
"Well maybe next time then." Casey shrugged. "Catch you guys later."
Once April and Casey were far enough away the girls let out a sigh of relief. Milo was the one to break the silence. "So, I get one of those things too?"
Well. That wraps that up.. I hope the end isnt too confusing. I had a whole bunch of ideas come all at once and tried combing a few. I may just have to rewrite this chapter sometime. Please lemme know what you think about it.
Thanks for reading
