Hey guys! I didn't have much time to update but managed tobsqueeze this chapter in so. Hope you enjoy!
And Raph has blonde hair because I could picture him as a tough blonde...lol that and I wanted them to have similarities
Michelangelo's P.O.V
"Mom..." I whisper with wide eyes. Master Splinter and the guys turn to me in surprise. My Mom did too, but then smiled warmly at me, her hazel eyes twinkling merrily.
Raph, Leo and Donnie's eyes grew wide as they studied us. I smiled and rushed to my Mom, hugging her around her waist. Sensei took a step back to allow us both in, a huge smile on his face.
"Mom, what are you doing here?!" I asked excitedly. Mom ruffled my hair and I giggled.
"I wanted to make sure you weren't driving Mr. Hamato up the wall." Mom grinned and I rolled my eyes, making a groan. "Who are these lovely young boys?"
I smirked as the guys blushed but Leo never wasted any time. He stepped forward. "Hello Ma'am, I'm Leonardo Hamato!"
"He is my son." Sensei said proudly while I felt a weird emotion from the phrase. Leo blushed more but looked happy at the statement.
"Oh my," Mom blushed and sent me a look. My eyes widened as I pratically begged her not to- "The same Leonardo that Mikey likes so much?"
I blushed so hard I'm pretty darn sure my freckles disappeared. Raph and Donnie laughed out loud as Leo also blushed hard with a look of utter surprise.
"Mom!" I yelled and she giggled. I hid my face in my hands and hid myself against Sensei, who chuckled and rubbed my hair.
"I'm Donatello! My previous legal last name was Nevarez." Donnie smiled but there was distance in his eyes when I looked. Raph quickly put an arm on his shoulder and grinned.
"Oh, I dare say it is funny that you all share Italian Reinassance names." My Mom observes with a hand on her mouth.
"Indeed." Sense chuckled. I finally let him go after my blush went away and Leo sent me a smile. I guess it really made him happy. Darn it I'm blushing again!
"Even funnier that I'm Raphael." Raph grinned even more and shrugged the other shoulder. Donnie gave him a look. "Nice to meet ya."
"I'm delighted!" Mom giggled. I smiled.
"Do you want a drink?" Leo asked with curiousity. My Mom shook her head politely.
"I did not know how long you wanted to stay so I decided to meet this Master Yoshi of yours." Mom grinned as she turned to me.
"You can ask me any question you like. I am deeply sorry I did not consult you first about Michelangelo. It is rude of me to simply invite him in without your consent." Master Splinter bowed his head a little and I rolled my eyes at how formal they were.
Suddenly Leo, Raph, and Donnie were beside me. Leo grinned at me while Raph leaned against me and Donnie just looked at me with a smile.
"You're Mom is awesome!" Donnie said and I smiled brightly.
"And she is super pretty!" Leo observed while Raph agreed.
"Thanks guys! She's the best person in the world!" I gushed and Raph rubbed my hair hard. I whined.
"I thought that was Leo." Raph teased while I growled and pounced on him. We both landed on the floor and I heard Donnie and Leo laugh at us.
"Mikey!" I froze and was allowed to be pinned on the floor by Raph. I gasped for air as my Mom paused at this and giggled. "Sorry dear."
"So this is a lovely home Yoshi." Mom said as I struggled to get away from Raph. He kept me pinned and sat on my back. I let out a breath and crossed my arms in annoyance. Leo grinned and knelt beside me.
"Hey, you're a hero right?" I asked and he blinked in surprise, losing his grin. "Save me!"
At this Raph and Donnie laughed, but at least Raph's big butt was off me now! I grinned and hopped up as Leo shook his head.
"Thank you for letting Michelangelo in your home." I turned when my Mom's voice grew warm and fond. I blushed. "I am so happy he has made new friends. He has told me alot about Donatello and Leonardo." Both of them blushed a little with smiles.
"It is nothing Mrs..." Sensei stopped and I laughed. Mom looked so shocked.
"Oh! How rude of me! I am Macy Levard." She smiled. "And it is just 'Miss'."
"I am glad to meet you Miss Levard." Sensei smiled as he bowed. My Mom blushed and just smiled more.
"Hey Mom, how did your treatment go?" I asked as I rushed towards her. She looked down at me and I swear something in her eyes, distantly, changed. My eyes widened a little.
"It went well." She smiled while closing her eyes.
"Mikey told us about your condition..." Leo worded carefully as he looked sympathetic. "We are sorry you have to go through that." Again that look in my Mom's eyes.
"Oh it could be worse Leo." She nodded. "But thank you dear. There are many who are far less forunate than I."
"Indeed. You are quite wise." Sensei smiled again and I nodded.
"Mom's the best!" I smiled brightly. Mom rubbed my hair and then looked at her phone.
"Are you ready to leave dear? I still have to pick up dinner on the way home." She asked and I looked at the guys. They looked sad to see me go.
"Uh-" I didn't know what to say, it's not like it's hard to say goodbye but...
"See you tomorrow?" Leo asked cocking his head. Donnie and Raph stared at me for my answer. I smiled and hugged him.
"Yes!" I burst. "See you tomorrow!"
"Hey, we'll flag you down at lunch. We'll be the loners in the back." Raph winked and I laughed.
"Okay! Bye guys!" I smiled and turned to Mom.
"Goodbye boys. If you ever need another place to go.." Mom surprised me by writing on a notecard she keeps in her purse and hands it to Sensei. "That's where we live."
"Thank you. Drive safely. I shall see you tomorrow for practice, Michelangelo." He said as I gave him a big hug.
"Bye!" I called out as I waved them off. I followed Mom to the car and got in excitedly. "It's weird that you came to get me but I'm glad you did."
She smiled a bit tiredly. Man she must have had a long day. I smiled sadly and patted her hand and she laughed. "Yeah, me too."
"So what are we getting for dinner?" I asked and she smirked.
"Pizza, what else?" She said and I gasped, blushing with excitement and happiness. She laughed as I danced in my seat. She took off and I laughed happily.
"You're the best Mom! I'm so lucky to have you!" I grinned as I looked at her. But then the grin left my face as I saw she was smirking but her eyes looked so sad.
"I'm lucky to have you more." She winked when she noticed me looking. I laughed again, but something was definitely bothering her. But I knew better than to force her to tell me. Especially if it was about that. The topic isn't exactly something people can just bring up...
Raph's P.O.V
Me and Donnie stayed another hour and fifteen minutes after Mikey had left. It was around 7 when I decided me and Don should head home.
"Are you sure you have to go?" Leo asked while looking a bit lonier already. It made me feel bad but I also understood. It always felt a bit odd leaving this place.
"Yeah, sorry, Leo." Donnie smiled sadly. "Mika gets upset when we come home late."
"Mika?"
"She's head of the house at our foster home." I replied without looking. But reluctantly and without moving my head I glanced at Leo, who looked understanding. He's had his fair share of Foster care...
"Well then boys," We all turned to Splinter, who had his hands on his back and a deep look on his face. "We will see you tomorrow afternoon."
"Alright!" Donnie brightened and I nodded with a small smirk. I pushed Donnie out of the doorway and waved to Leo but noticed he seemed distracted and lost.
"Ya know, if you want to talk we all exchanged numbers." I smirked even more, alongside Splinter, when Don and Leo looked surprised. They had already forgotten.
"I forgot!" Leo laughed but it seemed to perk him up as he glanced down at his pocket. "Bye guys see you tomorrow!" We nodded.
As we walked away Donnie turned to me and scowled. "How did you remember and I didn't?"
I smirked even more and held up my phone. 'HEY RAPH ITS ME MIKEY' was on the screen from a recent text. Donnie blinked and then burst out laughing.
"That kid is seriously unique." Donnie said. I smiled and looked at the darkened sky.
"I thought everyone was unique." I grinned and he blinked. He laughed again.
"Of course, but Mikey's different. He's like an alien."
"Agreed."
We both laughed hard as we walked our way home. As we reached the foster home I wanted to sigh, but Donnie beat me to it. I looked at him and patted him hard on the shoulder.
It was a big home, sure, it was just always very loud! Me, Donnie, Shawn, and Nicki were the only teenagers at the home, the rest were little kids. Not that all of them were bad it's just never peaceful. The home had a porch on the second floor right beside a big maple tree that I love to sit in.
"Donatello! Raphael!" We both went rigid when Mika came around the front door. She looked annoyed yet relieved to see us. She had short chin lengthed black hair and gray eyes. She was as tall as Mikey. "You boys forgot to let me know where you were!"
"Sorry Mika..." Donnie apologized and I just scowled. Mika's eyes trailed over me for a minute like she expected me to get in a fight. Mika's not bad or anything, but she has a unending ability to stick to someone's persona, even if someone else labeled them.
"It's okay, get in." Mika smiled a little while balancing Stephie, a 3 year old blonde girl, on her hip. She walked in and we filed in after her. "Dinner will be done in an hour!" She called as she rounded a corner and disappeared from sight.
"I don't want to know what she cooks tonight." I grinned playfully but Donnie just shrugged. "You okay, Don?"
"Yeah, why?" He asked confused. I shrugged.
"Hey, Raph's back!" Shawn called and I groaned. Shawn leaned on my shoulder with a grin but I noticed Donnie cringe slightly. "Where ya been dude?!"
"Just out..." I replied while pushing his face away. He scowled and I smirked in his face. I turned and noticed Donnie not looking at me. I rose an eyebrow.
"Oh hey Don, I heard that Josie broke the sink in the bathroom. Maybe you should fix that?" I glanced sharply at Shawn at the way his tone sounded.
"Yeah...I'll do that." Donnie said and turned without looking at any of us. I blinked in surprise, not that Donnie fixing stuff was surprising, but that he just stopped interacting with me.
"Dude, you wanna play Road Rage 4?" Shawn asked with a big grin as he playfully punched my shoulder. I gave him a look and sighed.
"Yea, sure." I grinned and grabbed his neck. Shawn looked imensely pleased as we wreslted our way to the brown couch around the corner.
I groaned and stretched loudly as it was time for 'lights out' Mika liked to call it. I'm fucking 14 years old I don't need a bedtime. But theres nothing I can do anyways. It's 10.p.m...Maybe I'll ask for Don's help on my biology homework.
I grinned as I changed direction from mine, John's, and Shawn's room to Donnie's, who he shares with two little boys Jacob and Kaleb. When I opened the door to his room I saw the lights were off but Jacob and Kaleb where not in there which meant they were probably sleeping with someone else.
Instead I saw Don's desk lamp on, but he was curled on his bed, sobbing with his head on his knees. My eyes grew wide as I closed the door and rushed over to the bed, my weight dipping it. Donnie stopped sobbing in surprise but didn't move his head. "Donnie, what's wrong?"
Donnie was silent a minute before he glanced up. My heart melted. His red brown eyes were agitated and tearful. He was trembling.
"Donnie, what happened?" I demanded with a ferice scowl. Donnie shook harder as he reached in his lap and pulled out a book.
"I-I know i-it's stupid but..." Donnie showed me the thick book of fighting techinques. Some pages were ripped, some drawn in, but most of all was the hurtful writing all over the cover and some pages. Words like...nerd, freak, gap-tooth, giant, werido, alien..."This was my f-favorite..."
Rage could not even begin to describe what I felt, looking at Donnie crying his eyes out over one of his favorite books that someone ruined.
"M-My...last..D-Dad gave this to me!" Donnie sobbed and let the book fall beside him. The last of my composure went down the drain as I grabbed Donnie and pulled him close. He let out cries and I felt tears hitting my shoulder that made my own eyes burn.
"I-It's okay Don." I cursed my shaky voice as I rubbed his back and hugged him close. Donnie nodded in my shoulder and sniffed, wrapping his arms to hug me back and even though he was taller than me, we fit like a puzzle. "I promise."
It took awhile to calm us both down. I was proud of myself for helping Donnie stop crying cause I'm never good a comforting other people. I suck at it! But helping Donnie calmed me down from setting a damn house fire trying to figure out who made my buddy upset.
Then me and Don moved out to the balcony since our rooms were both on the second floor. We sat down on the chairs and looked up at the sky that was dotted with several stars.
"I found it!" I shouted and Donnie jumped. I chuckled and pointed to the sky. "The big dipper."
"The constallations?" Donnie smiled a little and I rolled my eyes. "Sorry, it's important to be accurate."
"So you've said many times." I scowled while sighing. I looked around at the cars making noises on the streets. When I looked back Donnie was staring at the sky with a thoughtful expression. "Penny for yer thoughts?"
"You continue to surprise me. You're nothing like they say.." Donnie laughed while rubbing his head. I blushed and just crossed my arms. "Fine..I was thinking about families."
"Donnie..." I trailed off, sighing.
"I just admire Leo and Mikey so much. They have parents again." Donnie sighed and barely whispered it. I shrugged and ignored the fiery pain in my chest.
"So? Sensei said we are as good as his. We're all foster kids so we got ta stick tagether" I grumbled. Donnie smiled at that and began messing with whatever he had in his hands. "What's that?"
"Oh!" Donnie blushed and he smiled more, using his hands to show the full image. It looked like a tiny robot with a squared face. "This is just a small module of what I want to invent!"
I smirked. "A robot? Really Don?"
"Yes! I always wanted to build one! Think of all the possiblities!" Donnie grinned happily and my eyes widened as he went on. "Not like a servant but a friend that can help you out with stuff!" Donnie looked at me and it was like a light bulb clicked off. "But uh...you probably think it's stupid..."
I growled annoyed and glared at him. "I didn't say that. I think that's cool if yer smart enough ta do something like that!"
"Really...?" Donnie perked up with a small smile. "You don't think I'm a nerdy freak?" I don't think it could of been possible for me not to smack him across the head. "Ow!"
"No! And if I ever hear you say that I'll punch yer lights out!" I threatened. I wasn't really surprised when he paled but laughed a little.
"Now that's the Raph everyone talks about." He laughed and I saw down next to him rolling my eyes.
"Do...does everyone really think I'm a bully?" I asked out loud, remembering Mikey's face when he first saw me. My chest tightened painfully. Donnie blinked at me and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Who cares what they think, right?" He grinned and I laughed, rubbing his head.
"Well I'm going ta sleep, ya good?" I asked him while yawning and standing up. Donnie nodded and smiled at me. "Night."
"Night Raph!"
And for the first time in a long one, I smiled as I laid down to sleep.
Mikey's P.O.V
I hummed a tune from FallOut Boys as I entered the school's gates. The sun weighed down on me as I whistled, dancing skillfully past people that I smiled at.
I eagerly looked for any of the guys down the halls. After a couple of minutes went by my heat sank. I did not find any of them and class starts in 5 minutes.
I trudged to my locker, slumping in defeat. I reached it and lazily opened it up to recieve my Algebra book. I sighed as I opened my light blue shark designed book bag and placed my next three classes worth of notebooks in. Algebra, World History, Art...but hey I like Art class...
"Hey Mikey!" I jumped in my skin as a hand fell on my shoulder but quickly drew back in surprise. Turning I looked up to see Donnie looking apologetic.
"Donnie! Hey dude!" I grinned and shut my locker.
"How are you this morning Mikey?" Donnie asked with a curious smile. I shrugged on my bookbag and gave a bright smile.
"I'm swingin and singin bro!" I laughed and Donnie chuckled. "Hey where's Raph and Leo?"
"Raph and Leo both have History first class..." Donnie trailed off with a sigh. I cocked my head but laughed again. "What class do you have?"
"Ugh, algebra..." I groaned and he smirked at me. He patted my shoulder. That's when I really noticed he seemed a bit emotionally drained or something. His brown eyes were tired and hidden behind those awful thin black glasses. He was wearing a white t-shirt and purple pullover jacket, jeans and some dark purple shoes. "Um, what about you, Donnie?"
"I have Trig.." He trailed off with a blush. My mouth fell open. Trig was a Junior level class. "But its, uh, no big deal!"
"No big deal?! Dude, you are too smart! Hand over some of your brain!" I demanded and he blinked in surprise.
"Eh, I like Math and Science.." He rubbed the back of his head. I rolled my eyes nad straightened out my orange hoodie and smooth my hands over my blue jeans. But about Donnie...the dude is seriously a Genius. Modern day Einstein!
"Well well, if it isn't the nerdy alien freak." I turned and saw this slightly tall but not as tall as Donnie dude with tan skin and black hair. Donnie turned away from me in shame and looked at the ground angrily. "Looks like Raph's not around. But who's this you got with you...?" His ugly blue eyes found my pretty ones and I glared.
"Who are you?" I asked crossing my arms. " And don't talk bad about Donnie!"
"It's okay Mikey.." Donnie whispered as he grabbed my hand and pulled me down the hallway with him. I looked up at him worriedly.
"That's right giant gap-tooth," The dude sneered. "Take the baby and run."
I clenched my fist but Donnie continued to pull us away. I glared and looked up at him in disbelief that someone actually treats him this way! I was used to being called a baby by now because of my childish appearance but those words about Donnie...
"Who was that guy, D?!" I demanded and Donnie, sighed looking away. We stopped right close to the men's bathroom.
"Don't tell Raph..." He whispered and I suddenly became very worried.
"Why?"
"Please, Mikey, promise me!" Donnie begged as he grabbed my hand. "He'd probably seriously hurt him and get sent to a different foster home! I can't lose Raph!" I grabbed Donnie's hand back hard and tried to smile comfortingly. I understood because even though I met Raph yesterday, it felt like I couldn't lose him either. Or Donnie and Leo.
"Okay bro, I won't. But who was he?" I asked softly.
"He's Raph's friend, Shawn. He lives in our foster home." Donnie told me and my eyes grew wide.
"Donnie, you live with that guy?!" I shouted and he held my mouth. His eyes pleaded with me. "Dude, you already got Casey on your case."
"Casey is heaven compared to Shawn. Casey's not always bad.." Donnie retorted dryly but then noticing my face he smiled a little. "I have to go now though, see you at lunch?"
"Yeah...sure dude.." I smiled and as he walked off I frowned. Poor dude...I gotta have a serious talk with that Shawn guy...
I sighed in sweet relief as I slumped against my locker. I got my last three worth of class notebooks and filed them in my bag before heading off to the lunchroom.
As I drew close I noticed that Shawn guy with some of his friends/followers I guess. He noticed me and I glared, walking right past them.
"I think your going the wrong way." He snickered and my glare locked onto him before I walked in. "Elementary school is that way." My eyes widened as he friends all snorted and laughed at me.
I rolled my eyes. "Don't be jealous that I'm cuter than you." I smirked and pushed my way into the lunchroom.
"Mikey!" I jumped for like the second time that day. Looking to my right I saw Donnie with his friend, April. I know her because we have alot of classes together.
"Hey D! Hey April!" I smiled and hugged them both when they got close enough.
"Hey Mikey." April grinned and turned to a surprised Donnie. "Told you I knew him!"
"Well that's good. Leo's flagging us down over there." Donnie smiled as we looked over. Leo was smiling as he waved us down. I noticed Raph was looking at nothing in particular with a scowl on his face.
As we reached close enough I hugged Leo, who laughed and returned my hug. I patted Raph's back and sat beside him. He growled and I now noticed he had pushed his lunch away and was staring at his Biology textbook.
"You're stuck on that again?" Donnie teased as he sat by Leo. April took a seat right next to him.
"Oh shut up Don." Raph growled and slumped his head on the book in defeat. I chuckled. "I'm gonna die in this school." Leo smirked behind his milk cartoon.
"I'll steal your cupcake if you don't want it Raphie." I giggled when he glared at me and shoved the cupcake in his mouth. Leo rolled his eyes and Donnie laughed.
"Oh that's attractive." April scowled and I laughed harder. Raph shrugged and downed it with milk.
"Biology sucks!" Raph complained while pushing the book away. "I mean, seriously who cares what a cell membrane is?!"
"Well actually the cell membrane is only one of the most important features that-" Leo put his hand over Donnie's mouth and shook his head. I grinned while Raph scowled at Donnie.
"I'm not looking forward to dissecting a frog." April shuddered and Leo immediately stopped eating his sweet peas. I saw Don and Raph snicker at him.
"Ugh me either!" I cried out rubbing my eyes. Raph laughed and slapped my back hard and I actually coughed. "Hey!"
I glared at Raph as he contined to smirk in my face and threatened to spray milk on me.
"Oh nooo..." April groaned while stiffening. We all followed her line of site and saw Casey Jones walking over to our table. I immediately noticed the difference in the way Raph and Leo studied him.
"Hey if it isn't Casey Jones!" Raph said sarcastically and Casey shot him a look. "Don't start anythin you can't finish."
"Jeez I'm not here to start anything." Casey crossed his arms and scowled at Raph. Raph rose an eyebrow.
"Well are you here to mess with Donnie?" April glared and Casey shook his head, rubbing his black hair like he was embarrassed.
"I just wanted to sit here..." Casey mumbled with a blush.
"Only if you say sorry to Donnie and even then only if he wants you there." Leo spoke up and we looked at him in surprise. Casey sighed and then looked at Donnie.
"Okay..fine..I'm...s-...uh..s-sor...ryyy.." Casey grunted at the effort and I snickered. Donnie grinned a little. "I didn't mean nothin by it..."
"I guess I forgive you...Cavemouth." Donnie said and we all burst out laughing. Casey blushed hard and glared at Donnie like a challenge. "You can sit with us..."
"Sure...thanks.." He grumbled and Raph made room to let him sit by us.
"So why did you want to sit here with us outcasts?" April grinned while looking totally amused. I giggled.
"Who says I'm not an outcast?" Casey laughed a little. I snorted at the pure possibility of April being an outcast. And Casey may not be candidate for Mr. Popularity, but he isn't an outcast.
"Well, you seem to have a posse at your disposal..." Leo muttered under his breath. Casey's eyes flashed with irratation for a minute.
"Those guys are just chumps that hang around my favorite arcade.." Casey rolled his eyes and looked behind his shoulder. I did too and ultimately wished I didn't. Shawn and his posse was glaring at me with full promises to beat me up and take my lunch money, you know, crap like that.
Raph didn't notice when I stopped breathing, okay that is dramatic. But he didn't notice my slightly sharp intake of breath. I wanted to tell him the truth about this Shawn guy so badly. What did Raph see in that guy as a friend anyways?! Well people are different and maybe Raph knows something we don't.
"Hey Mikey, I was wondering why you always talk up a storm with Mrs. Newton after art class.." April smiled as Leo and Donnie started up their own conversation. Raph and Casey eyed me curiously.
"Oh...well I really like art and she does too, so we like share an appreciation for it." I smiled back at April. Raph laughed and Casey just grinned which made me feel a little embarrassed.
"That's cool. Plus your named after a famously historical Italian artist." April grinned alongside Casey. I blushed a little and nodded.
"So is Raph, Leo and Donnie!" I blubbered earning all the attention.
"It is werid that you guys are all named in the same genre of history." Casey rolled his eyes like it was all normal. Leo grinned while Raph chuckled. Donnie just seemed to lose himself in his big brain again. He does that alot in the library and it takes alot to coax him out of it.
April started up a conversation about the latest gossip, which I found to be pretty entertaining simply because Donnie politely pretended to be interested, Raph and Casey started their own conversation about arcade games and I laughed because Leo actually was interested in all the gossip though I'll never know why.
I looked over my shoulder and mentally sighed in relief when Shawn and his posse where not in eyesight. I knew I had to be wary of them and it probably wasn't a good idea that I talked back to Shawn. Something's gotta give though.
The bell rang and we each said our goodbyes. Raph, Leo, and Donnie walked off together while I was left with April and Casey, whom I had the last three classes with.
The rest of the day was a blur and I avoided any and all of Shawn's friends or Shawn himself. April seemed slightly concerned about me but with my brilliant acting I was able to convince her I was just fine. That and Casey backed me up with a 'Mikey's just a weird dude' phrase.
After school we parted ways with Casey and with April later on. Soon it was just us four and I felt very relieved because of it. Something told me nothing would happen to me or Donnie with Leo and Raph around.
"I wonder what we are going to be learning today?" Donnie asked as he clenched the strap of his bookbag. I was looking at my phone as Leo and Raph chatted about whatever. We were on our way to Leo's house for pratice with Master Splinter. I looked up at Donnie since he was beside me and we were both behind Raph and Leo.
"I dunno, dude. But I bet it's going to be epic!" I grinned and Donnie smiled back at me.
"Thanks for not ratting me out to Raph," Donnie began and I held up a hand.
"I haven't known Raph long, but long enough to know that the dude has some anger problems. It'd be a serious no-no if he found out about Shawn," I frowned as I touched my chin in eager thought and Don was still looking at me in surprise. "But something definitely needs to be done about Shawn before he gets any worse."
"I know," Donnie sighed as his shoulders slumped. "But I can't fight back against Shawn, at least not theoretically," He added sheepishly. I nodded. "I'll get sent away if I fight back. Either way, I'll be seperated from you guys and have to move."
"No!" I blurted as I stopped in horror. Leo and Raph turned faster than I thought possible when they thought someting was seriously wrong. Donnie had started so bad and his eyes were wide with stunned shock. "Opps...uh, sorry."
"What tha heck's gotten into ya?" Raph asked as he narrowed his green eyes at me. Leo blinked worriedly.
"Oh, it's nothing! I was horrified cause Don lied and said there'd be no pizza at Leo's!" I laughed and watched the tension ease out of my other friends. Donnie looked a bit confused but he smiled as we began walking again.
"Anyways, Sensei's been talking to me about us having a sleepover." Leo grinned as he turned to give us all his attention. My heart was immediately won over by the idea as a wide grin stretched on my face. Donnie was blushing and kicking a foot around. Raph rose an eyebrow.
"A sleepover? Are we girls now?" Raph asked with an amused look. I laughed with Donnie as Leo blushed and glared at Raph.
"No, you know what I meant!" Leo warned and I snickered.
"Oh, I thought you meant a sleepover." Raph retorted with a shark-like grin. It was amusing to watch these two together. Now I see why Donnie's always entertained. I grinned at him and he grinned back down at me.
"Now ladies," Donnie put a hand between their chests, surprising them as I laughed out loud to what he said. "We can settle this like civilized New Yorkers."
"Did ya just call me a lady, Don? Don't make me kill you." Raph threatened and for some reason I shook as I tried not to laugh again. Leo noticed this and shook his head at me. Donnie just rolled his eyes. I began to walk around them and left.
"I'm not waiting around for you girls." I teased and watched them all glare at me. I blinked and saw Raph rush after me. I screeched like a 13 year-old Justin Beiber fan and dashed away.
We finally made it to Leo's house and Master Splinter pratically threw open the door. We all had jolted and crashed into each other, falling into the doorway because they were trying to catch me. Sensei had simply side stepped like he was a secret wizard and looked down at us calmly.
"Ugh...I think I busted a vien..." I said dramatically. Donnie slowly turned his head towards me and looked at me weridly. Leo laughed with his face still on the floor. Raph just stared at me in a 'what the actual hell' way.
"Why have you all rushed in here like a pack of wild boars?" Master Splinter asked with crossed arms and a narrowed stare. We all froze and then had the decency to look sheepish.
"Sorry Sensei, Mikey said we were girls." Raph glared at me. Leo and Donnie face palmed and I just gave a Walt Disney grin as Sensei looked so confused.
"I'm sorry?" Splinter asked as he looked at me for a reasonable answer. He obviously doesn't know me yet. Reasonable is not in my brain's vocab.
"They were actin like girls so I called them girls. It hurt their manly pride." I grinned as all three of my friends glared at me now. Sensei seemed to finally understand because he laughed.
"If anyone's a girl it's you!" Raph growled at me and I pretended to be hurt. Leo rolled his eyes. "Don't call me a girl!" I just grinned again. He was so fun to mess with.
"Techincally the only difference between male and female is the Y chromosome," Donnie began techincally and I felt all the words go into one ear and out the other. Leo looked surprised and Raph looked annoyingly confused. "You could, for all we know, have a X chromosome and not a Y."
"What the hell did you just say?" Raph asked looking so confused. We all jolted when a cane whacked Raph on the head. "Ow!"
"Do not use such language in my house, Raphael." Splinter scolded and I had the decency to laugh in my head but I knew I was grinning like a hyena. Leo saw this and bit his own lip to keep from laughing out.
"I wouldn't have to if I understood whatever the he...heck Donnie is saying.." Raph seemed to pale at his almost mistake. I turned completely around as to not laugh directly in his face. Donnie just rolled his eyes at my lovely dramatic nature.
"In simple terms I basically said you could be a girl." Donnie spoke up and Raph growled low in his throat. I watched as Leo slowly scooted back on his rear and I wanted to laugh so badly it hurt me. Master Splinter was looking at me and Leo in amusement. "And, uh...but I basically said it...in scientific terms you could of easily inherited the Y chromosome..."
"Shaddup Donnie your makin my head hurt," Raph complained and looked from us all. I finally let out the giggles that hurt me and rolled on the floor. Donnie just watched me with some werid look on his face. "Mikey don't make me pound yer face into Sensei's nice floor."
"I just cant-ahahahaha!" I died again at the mental image of my own face on this floor. Donnie was grinning by now and Leo, I had noticed, was sitting on the bench all of a sudden instead of the floor. Dude has some serious stealth.
"I'm serious Mikey, I will pound you!" Raph growled looking angry with me.
"Raphael you will do no such thing!" Splinter scolded. "I just cleaned the floor today." I looked up with wide eyes and heard Leo burst out into laughter. Raph began grinning like a madman and I rolled my eyes. "Now, will you all join me in the dojo?"
"Hai Sensei," They said and I blinked down from where I was. Raph and Donnie stood up but I remained on the floor and stared at Sensei.
"Michelangelo?" He asked looked confused at me.
"I can't get up." I said and he looked alarmed. "My sides hurt."
Raph rolled his eyes as Sensei deflated with relief. Raph walked up and I thought he'd be ever so kind as to lend me a hand but he grabs me like I weighed nothing more than a potato chip and flung me over his shoulder. Donnie was wide eyed at how simple it was and Leo just laughed again before walking into the dojo.
Pratice was pretty much the same as it was the other time. I actually got beaten by Donnie, who all but surprisingly rubbed it in my face. Raph got beaten by Leo and sulked forever about it. Sensei gave us a few pointers as well as showing me and Donnie a kata we had not recongized.
Afterwards we all sat down together and watched Super Robo Mega Force 5, thanks to me. I got them all hooked though they exclaimed that they would never like it. I left soon after I got the text from my Mom that dinner would be done soon. Raph and Donnie left with me to be back at their place before 9.
Before we left we all agreed to check our shedules to find a time to have that sleepover that Raph is secretly excited about. I grinned just thinking about it! Most of us have our schedules filled so we all agreed that the sleepover would be next weekend.
That night me and my Mom had a nice dinner of pasta! She told me all about her day and her treatment while I told her all about the guys. I noticed that every now and then when she thought I wasn't looking she'd stare at me with this sad and lonely look in her eyes. I did not understand what was going on with her because she has always been bluntly honest with me, especially since she was diagnosed with Lung Cancer.
Even though I had a day full of ups and downs, I went to bed that night feeling anxious about the week to come. At least I had the sleepover to look forward too. Something tells me that after next week, everything is going to be different.
When texting the guys before bed, they all agreed with me on that one.
