Angel from the Water

Chapter 4- Learning and Teaching

(Don's Computer Diary)

Day 3

After finding this female turtle and trying to show it we're are her friends, we…as in Mikey and me have been trying to get her to talk. So far she has not said any word.

Also it seems she has trouble staying on land for long periods of time. After I gave her the lettuce and she…well uh hugged me, her breath became quick and heavy. I was worried at fist she was sick but I saw her claws and lose skin going down her arm. She is a water turtle. She needs water to survive. I quickly brought her to the middle pool and put her in. She imminently started swimming around smiling.

But for now back to how we're teaching her. As I speak I gave Mikey a task to grab certain objects around the lair and show them to her. Also by doing this it…..

"DONNY!!" Mikey yelled.

….gah ill write about it later...

(Don POV)

I logged off and went to go see what he's yelling about. I just told him to work with her. Maybe I should have had Leo or RG do it with her. Too bad I sent them to cover up any evidence of the blood where we found her. Can't be too careful I always say. And Raph wouldn't have the patience to teach her either.

Walking into kitchen I find Mikey sitting with his head on the kitchen table and his "student" sitting across from him poking a spoon Mikey left in front of her.

"Mikey?" I said, "How is it going?"

Mikey looked up.

"Don, I can't get her to say anything except "water"!" Mikey moaned.

So I decided to try myself. I grabbed the fork on the table and held it in front of her.

"Ok…can you tell me what this is?" I softly asked.

"….water" she softly said.

"…" I stayed silent.

"No...This is a "Fork"!" I repeated, "A fork!"

"…water?" her voice quieted.

I sat and started to think why did she say only water? Obviously she loves it? She likes water a lot so she knows her favorite thing is "Water".

I think that we need to be more direct with her. If she knew her name or we gave her one we could keep her more focused.

"HiHi, were back" RG skipped into the kitchen.

"Everything is cleaned up" Leo said.

Then Leo asked me about how she was doing in terms of speaking. I told him that a name might work.

"Well do we name her than?" Leo asked.

"Maybe she already has one" RG said.

RG walked up to the turtle.

"Hey there" RG smiled, "Ya got a name?"

"…"

"…ok she doesn't…"

"Well let's vote then" Mikey said, "I think she's a Georgia!"

"Georgia?" everybody was wondering why Mikey chose that name.

"Well" Mikey said, "We're named after artist and Georgia O' Keefe is an artist too!"

"Well I think she should be something like…a Maddie" Don said.

"I still say she's a Georgia" Mikey pouted.

Raph came into the kitchen. He must have been ease dropping due to he knew what we are talking about.

"Why bother naming her" Raph said, "Once Splinta' gets back he'll kick her out."

"I don't think he would" Leo said, "…that is I don't think so?"

"Ok dudes I got a better name for her!" Mikey said going back to naming her.

"What is it Mikey?" RG asked.

"Ok, how bout…" Mikey smiled, "Pizza!"

"We are not going to name her after a food!" I fumed.

For some reason that made me angry. And I never burst out like that.

"Fine Fine, we won't" Mikey seemed sort of shocked by my response.

I look over at RG to see her arms crossed and a confused look on her face. Obviously she was zoning out about thinking on a name. She does this a lot…Just goes into her own little world.

"How bout…Abigal" RG said.

I thought it was the perfect name. Yes, the very best name. Wow that's pretty weird RG did something right for once. Last time I asked her to do something was to microwave some pizza. I mean she's an amazing cook but she never remembers that metal objects DO NOT belong in the microwave.

"Perfect one, RG" I said.

RG went up to her. RG points to herself and says "RG" then points to her and says "Abigal".

The confused turtle paused for a second. Then she looked at RG and tried to talk.

"….A..bi…gal.…?"

"She said her name!" I said.

I guess se likes it. But why did she only speak other words to RG? Well I guess it's because there girls, oh well….but, I think I have a new teacher.

"Welcome to the family, Abigal" Leo said with a warm smile.

Authors Note: Doing Donnie's POV is too hard o Maybe I'll stay with RG POV
