SOOOOO sorry for the long delay! I was busy w/ school and Q&A! Enjoy!
I walked into my house. My parents were waiting for me, cold blank glares on their faces. I knew where I was to go. My room. I stomped down the hall and slammed the door. I fell face-first onto my bed and fell asleep, unaware of two robin's-egg-blue eyes watching me from just outside the window,
The next day was Saturday, usually my favorite day of the week, but since I was grounded, all I could really do was study. I opened my book, and began. I spent the day reading my textbooks, trying fruitlessly to absorb their facts. Late in the evening, I turned on the radio. Jack Johnson's "Upside Down" was playing. I sat down at my desk and began to reread my dreadfully dull textbook, trying to absorb all its facts, but failing miserably. I began to hum along to the song. Then, I unconsciously started singing quietly. Next thing I knew I was singing and dancing around my room.
"I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste
Well it all keeps spinning spinning round and round and-"
Something made me pause. Then I heard the sound that had made me stop again. Muffled laughter, just outside my window. I threw open my window, but I couldn't see anyone. But then, a warm breeze brushed the top of my head. I looked up, straight into two glowing white eyes. I gasped, and started to scream but a three-fingered hand was clapped over my mouth.
"Hey! Don't scream! It's me!" the figure said, vaulting into my room to stand in the lamplight. It was Mikey!
"Mikey!" I whisper-shouted. "Don't scare me like that!" Mikey cocked his head, confused.
"We drop in like this on April all the time." Mikey said.
"Well, maybe she's used to it," I said. "I know I'M not. Try not to 'drop in' without some WARNING next time."
"And that's another thing." Mikey said, staring at the floor. "I blew my cover, all because you were dancing and singing along to a song I like, a lot. I'm supposed to be a ninja, dawg! I'm not supposed to blow my cover just because somebody is dancing and singing along to a song that I like!" he sat down on my bed, sighing sadly. I sat down next to him, and put an arm around him.
"Hey," I said. "Don't beat yourself up about it. What's done is done. I probably would've done the same thing." I put an arm around his shoulders. Mikey blushed slightly, but it could've been a shadow.
"Hey, wait," I said suddenly. "Aren't you supposed to be grounded?"
"Well, yeah," Mikey said. "I snuck out. I'm a ninja!"
"But aren't your brothers or your Sensei going to miss you?" I asked.
"My bros don't care what I'm doing, as long as it's not annoying them," Mikey replied. "And Sensei is meditating right now." Suddenly, his phone rang.
"MIKEY!" shouted three distinct voices over the line.
I heard Leo say, "Are you trying to get us in more trouble with Sensei?"
I heard Raph say, "Mikey, if you are not back before Sensei quits meditating, I swear I will smash you to a pulp!"
"Fine," Mikey said, and hung up abruptly. "Well, I guess I have to go."
"Feel free to come back anytime, but next time, give me some warning before you come vaulting into my room through my window!" Mikey smirked.
"How about next Saturday?" he asked.
"It's a date." I replied. Mikey definitely blushed this time. He jumped out the window. I lost track of him until he appeared on the next rooftop, framed by the unusually large moon. He waved. I waved back, and smiled. He smiled back and leaped off into the cool October night. I closed my window and sighed. All I could think about was Mikey.
I gotta go! Plz review!
