Chapter Three: Kid's Favorite
As the door opened the little girl saw four giant turtles sitting by a small television. One was wearing an orange mask eating pizza. But, from the looks of it he just shoved one slice after another into his mouth. A blue mask turtle was talking to a red masked turtle, and a purple masked turtle was reading a book while taking glances at the television.
April walked the girl to the turtles as the little girl's hand squeezed tighter around April's. "Hey you guys. Would you like to introduce yourselves to her?" April asked the turtles. The first one to introduced themselves was the blue masked turtle. "Hello Miss" he said "my name is Leonardo." "Raphael" said the red masked turtle. "Hi, I'm Donatello" said the purple masked turtle looking up from his book and putting his hand out for the little girl to shake. But, the girl just looked at his hand. That was when the orange turtle popped up in front of the girl making her yelp a bit and said "hi i'm-", "Mikey" the little girl finished, remembering someone saying his name before she fainted in the alley.
The turtles and April looked at the girl and then Mikey gasped and, ask "how did you know? Are you psychic?" Raphael slapped him upside the head and said "of course not idiot" he then looked at April then the girl and asked "wait, ... are you psychic?" The little girl letting go of April shrugging her shoulders and said "I don't know." "Do you remember anything?" asked Donatello. The little girl shook her head and said "no." "How do we know we can trust her?" asked Raphael, "she could be working with the Krang or Shredder." "I doubt she's working for them" said Leonardo. "You don't know that" said Raphael.
"She is not working for the Krang, or Shredder, Raphael" said a giant talking rat who came from nowhere. Everyone except for the rat jumped from being surprised by his sudden appearance. "How do you do that?" asked April. "I can tell by the look in this child's eyes that she has nothing to do with our enemies" said the giant rat. He turned to look at the girl and said "I'm sorry, let me introduce myself. My name is Splinter." The little girl looked at him and said "hi." "Do you have a home?" Splinter asked. The girl shook her head and said "no" while looking at the ground. "Would you like to stay the night?" he asked her. The girl thought about it then said "...ok." If you think about it who would say no, no one wants to sleep on the street.
Splinter left the girl with April and the turtles. "So" began Leonardo, "do you want to watch the movie with us?" The girl nodded and April sat down between Donatello and Michelangelo. Seeing this the girl sat between Michelangelo and April leaning towards April. The movie they were watching was Space Zombies from the Planet Blurp. It was an old movie that was probably scary back in the day but, in the present day it was a really ham filled movie that made everyone laugh.
April, the girl, and the turtels were watching a scene where a man just gunned down a bunch of alien space zombies single-handedly. There was a the stereotypical, old movie, pretty girl and a little girl staring at him with a little too much shock and awe.
"Hey, that girl looks like the same age as you" Donatello said looking at the girl. "Really?" the girl said looking at Donatello then the girl in the movie. "Ya, Donni's right. How old is the girl anyway?" April asked. "She's nine" Michelangelo said as a second wave of alien zombies came. "I'm nine" said the girl. "How do you know?" Raphael asked. "She's nine, so now I'm nine" said the girl. Raphael shrugged "whatever" he said as the man finished off the last couple of alien zombies.
The man shoved both the woman and girl outside the cabin they were in to the forest. While they ran they were breathing hard as if they were doing a mile run. "Wow, they're really out of shape, they just started running" said Leonardo. That was when the woman tripped and fell. The woman screamed and the man and girl turned and were about to help her. But coming out of the bushes was ... THE ALIEN ZOMBIES! "Why doesn't she just get up? They're zombies, they're not going to be that fast" said April. The man then cried "NO, WENDY I'LL SAVE YOU!" As the man ran to her the girl yelled "WAIT, BILLY DON'T NO, NOOOO!" Everyone laughed because the acting was so bad, and while the girl was saying this she did the Home Alone face and during the 'noooo' part the girl just ran. "Can I have her name?" the little girl asked between laughs. "You want to be named Kid?" asked Raphael. The girl nodded. "Sure, I don't care" said Raphael. "Aw, I wish my name was kid" said Michelangelo. "Hey, Kid hit Mickey for me" said Raphael. Kid immediately pinched Mickey. "Ow" Michelangelo cried rubbing his arm.
By the end of the movie Kid learned a bit about the turtles from what they said during the movie. For example, Leonardo is the leader of the group and seems to be a goody-goody. Raphael seems to be the tough one, because he hits a lot and yells. Donatello is a nerd, and Mickey is funny and nice. Mickey is her favorite.
"Well, it's getting late I should go home" said April getting up. "What!" cried Kid and Donatello. "It'll be ok" April said leaning down to Kid's level "If you get scared Donni, Mickey, Raph, Leo, and Master Splinter will protect you. Ok?" Kid smiled and nod "ok", she said giving April a hug "I'll miss you." "I'll miss you too" said April hugging her back.
Once April left Kid put her head down and started feeling like she was going to cry. Mickey noticed this and said "hey, don't be sad. Do you want me to teach you how to skateboard?" Kid nodded and Mickey grabbed her hand and lead her somewhere to teach her how to skateboard.
Mickey lead Kid to a very open space and gave her a skateboard, a helmet, knee pads, and shoulder pads. Mickey was wearing the same things and had his own skateboard. He started teaching her and things were going well, but she could only use one foot to move then she would fall. It kept on like that for thirty minutes. "Forget it" Kid said taking off her helmet slamming it to the ground "I can't do it." Kid was about to leave when Mickey grabbed her wrist and turned her around kneeling down to her level. "Hey it's ok I couldn't do it before" Mikey said to Kid whose head is down. "Want some pizza, I have some in my room" he asked making Kid smile and nod. "Cool, I'll race you" he said, "ready, set-" Kid was already running. "Hey that's cheating!" Mickey yelled running behind her.
Kid laughed as she ran with different thoughts going through her head. How weird it was that she was sleeping over with four giant turtles, and a giant rat in the sewers. How she was so scared but now having fun, and how sweet, kind, fun, and … how cute Mikey was. Mikey leaped over her and ran ahead yelling "last one there is a rotten sewer apple."
Yup, Mikey was her favorite.
