happy birthday
The date was April twelfth, and Chloe wasn't as excited as she should be. She got up at ten in the morning, but when she realized that she overslept she began to wonder why the guys didn't wake her up earlier.
She walked into the living room, fully dressed, but no one was in there to greet her like they normally are.
"Hello?" she called out. There was no answer. She walked into the kitchen but it was also empty.
"Hm…weird." She mumbled. She pulled out her shell cell and dialed April's home number. It rang over and over again, but finally someone answered it.
"Hello?" April's voice answered.
"Hey April, it's Chloe. Have you seen the guys today?" she asked. Silence. And then she finally answered.
"No, sorry I haven't. Why?" April said.
"Well, they aren't here and they didn't even wake me up. It's odd." She explained.
"I wonder if they know what today is." Chloe thought out loud. As soon as she said it she covered her mouth and groaned.
"What's going on today?"
"Well, I guess I have to tell you then. Today is my eighteenth birthday." Chloe said with a sigh.
"OH! Happy birthday Chloe! Um, lets see, we should go do something to celebrate!" April exclaimed happily. Chloe held the cell a foot away from her head, her ears are able to hear things around five times as better than a regular person's ears, so to her, that was extremely loud.
"No, please April, we don't have too." Chloe said, bringing the phone back to her ear.
"No, I think we should. You never really went shopping before, have you? So why don't I take you to the mall?" April persisted. Chloe had to admit, it sounded fun. She just didn't like to celebrate her birthday. Or anything else, only because when she grew up most of her life on the street, they could never do anything good. It was as if she had no birthday back then.
"But, I don't have any money." Chloe said.
"Well, I want to get you a gift, so I'll just buy you something you like." April said.
"Well, ok, I'll meet you at you're apartment in a bit, ok?" Chloe asked.
"Sounds good." April said before hanging up.
In several minutes Chloe knocked on the door to April's apartment, ready to go. April smiled as she opened the door and together they left.
"Hop in." April said as she slid into her small car. Chloe crawled into the front seat and looked out the window.
"Where are we going again?" Chloe asked.
"The mall. It's got some great stores there. So…what were you're birthdays like back in Boston?" April asked. Chloe's expression changed and she looked out the window.
"We never really celebrated anything. It was more like my birthday didn't exist." Chloe said, looking back at her.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Hey, we're at the mall now, c'mon, lets go." April said, parking the car suddenly.
"Whoa, it's packed!" Chloe said in shock when she got out and looked at the parking lot.
"Nah, this is just part of the parking lot. There's more on the other side." April said as they headed for the door.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Chloe and April were sitting in the food court, enjoying their lunches after an hour of shopping. April was munching on a ceaser salad while Chloe was eating a large slice of pizza.
"Guys gotcha hooked on pizza, huh?" April asked with a small laugh. Chloe nodded her mouth too full to speak.
Once they finished they continued to look around.
"Hey look, a pet store!" Chloe said happily, pointing to a colorful store. She and April ran in and cooed over the puppies and kittens in the cages like little girls. April wandered down to more cages while Chloe stuck her fingers through the bars as a small, orange kitten rubbed against it. Chloe giggled as the kitten meowed happily. She looked around quickly and leaned in close to the cage and meowed back.
"Hey little fella, how are you?" she asked quietly.
"I'm lonely. I miss my family. Someone bought my sister." The kitten meowed.
"I know how you feel. My sister-um- left a few years ago." Chloe said.
"Hey Chloe, come here!" April called. Chloe looked up and nodded, then leaned back to the cage.
"Sorry, I have to go. I hope you go to a good family." She said to the kitchen. She ran back to April. She skidded to a halt and looked in the cage April was pointing to.
A cat was sitting in there, its wide golden brown eyes staring at Chloe. Chloe was surprised slightly when she saw that the cat had black fur with several red streaks in the fur.
"I-it looks like my cat half." Chloe whispered. April nodded.
"Can we come back here when we're done?" Chloe asked.
"Sure. C'mon, lets go to some other stores." April said as they walked out.
"Hey, wanna go in there?" April asked, pointing to a clothing store. Chloe looked at the sign and then looked at the clothes in the window.
"nah. That's not really my style." She said lazily.
"You getting tired?" April asked with a smile. Chloe nodded.
"It's getting late anyway, lets head back to the car." April said. They turned around and as they headed back April stopped in mid step.
"I still didn't get you anything!" April said. Chloe looked back at her with a smile.
"Well I did have my mind on something." She said with a smirk. "Follow me." she added.
"You want a pet?" April asked when they went back into the pet store.
"Yeah. The sign says that these pets are from the humane society, and I want to get a cat, if you don't mind." Chloe explained, walking through the back isle. She stopped at the cage with the cat that she thought looked like her. April bent down and looked at the information sheet on the outside of the cage.
"This one, huh? Sure, I can get you him." She said, straightening up again.
"Um, miss!" Chloe called to a passing store clerk. She looked over at them and walked over.
"May I help you?" asked the clerk.
"Yes, we would like to get this cat." April said, pointing to the cat that was now sleeping. The clerk raised her eyebrows.
"This one? Are you sure?" she asked. "This is a rare cat and he can be quiet vicious at times. We haven't had any luck with him yet."
"I don't care. I want to get this cat for my friends birthday." April said, grabbing Chloe's shoulder. Chloe looked at her and smiled brightly.
"Ok then. I wish you the best of luck with this crabby cat." The clerk said. She opened the cage and picked up the cat, which hissed and tried to scratch her face. The clerk quickly handed the cat to Chloe, and she cuddled it and it instantly calmed as soon as she held him. The clerk stared in disbelief and they went to the check out.
"I see you can actually calm that little beast. Well, here's the adoption certificate, now if you'll just give us his new name we will make it complete." Said the clerk.
"I want to call him Tucker." Chloe stated. The clerk nodded, wrote the name on the certificate and handed it to them. April paid for Tucker and they left.
Oooooooooooooooooooooo
"You can talk to cats?" April asked after they picked up pet supplies. Chloe nodded, stroking Tucker's back.
"I wonder what he'll think about living in the sewers." April thought out loud.
"Do you mind living in the sewer with me?" Chloe asked Tucker. The cat looked up at her with his almond shaped golden brown eyes.
"Not at all. I knew you were different when I first saw you. You're part cat, aren't you?" the cat asked. Chloe nodded and cuddled the cat again. Surprisingly Tucker began to purr.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Guys, are you home yet?" Chloe called, letting Tucker onto the ground when she walked in the lair. Tucker began to prowl around and Chloe walked farther into the living room.
"HEY! Chloe, were did you get to?" Mikey asked, running into the room. He ran up and gave her a huge hug.
"h-hey! Mikey…can't breath!" Chloe gasped. He let her go and she found a present being shoved into her hands. Leo, Donnie and Raph walked in, each with a gift in their hands as well.
"Where did I go? Where did you guys go?" Chloe asked. She found herself being pushed on to the couch by Raph and the presents falling into her lap.
"With Casey, getting you gifts." Raph said. She looked at each of them carefully.
"How did you know…?" she asked.
"Very hard to explain. Just open them." Leo laughed. She nodded happily and grabbed the one in a blue bag first.
She opened it and pulled out a necklace with an emerald handing from it. She looked at Leo, who had a big smile spread across his face.
"It's beautiful Leo! Thank you!" she exclaimed. She put the necklace on the seat next to her and grabbed the red bag.
Inside that present was a sketch book with an art set. Somehow Raph found out that she loved to draw. She smiled at Raph, who had a satisfied grin on his face.
Next she opened the gift wrapped in purple wrapping paper. Inside were several notebooks and mechanical pencils. She thanked Donnie and grabbed the final gift.
Inside was a DVD called Howle's Moving Castle (one of my favorite movies).
"Thanks guys, but you didn't have too." She said.
"Nah, we wanted to." Leo said. She smiled wider, jumped up and hugged each of them. Leo picked up the necklace and put it on her.
A loud meow came from below her and she looked down. Tucker was there, rubbing against her legs. She bent down and scooped him up.
"Who is that?" Mikey asked, scratching the cat behind his ears.
"This is Tucker. April and I went to the mall today and she bought him for me." Chloe explained.
"He looks a lot like you're mutant form." Donnie observed. Chloe nodded.
"Yeah, that's why I picked him out." She said. Donnie had an interested look on his face. Chloe could tell he was thinking of something, she just didn't know what.
