Ch. 6

Chris had woken up to the sun shining in her face, when she had realized that it was morning she remembered what she asked Mikey. Today was her day, the day she gets to make another friend, but in the back of her mind and in her heart it felt like she wanted it to be so much more with him.

She didn't have work today considering it was Saturday, so she had a bowl of cold cereal and got herself ready.

She tore her closet and some clothes that made her look appealing to the eye, but it was also a casual look. She picked out long sleeve great sweater that light weight, but kept her warm. She put a pair of dark blue jeans, and a pair white and blue tennis shoes. She put her hair up in a ponytail on put on pair of her favorite earrings. They looked bullets, and they were, with her birthstone in the center. A sapphire was in the middle and it matched her necklace perfectly, on it was engraved Winchester 45 colt, which was the brand of the bullet.

After she got dressed she grabbed her skateboard gear and headed out to wait for Mikey.

Meanwhile in the lair of our four reptilian friends, Mikey was up much earlier than the others, which gave him the opportunity go on his skateboarding date with Chris. He got his own gear ready, and was about to walk out the door.

"And just do you think you are going?" asked a voice from behind

Mikey froze in place; he was almost to turn around, so instead he turned his head to see who had caught him. To his surprise it was master Splinter!

"Uh.. well I was just... I was.."

His mind drew a blank; he had no idea now that he had been caught by his sensei so he didn't know what to say. He thought he was probably going to force Mikey to cancel his date with Chris. But to his complete surprise and shock Splinter did the exact opposite!

"If you are going to see your friend, you must promise that you be careful." He said with a smile on his face

"How did you?"

Master Splinter only had sly grin on his face and walked back his dojo. Mikey could only stare in amazement, he really was that good. And proved that you couldn't keep anything a secret from him.

Mikey smiled and dashed through the door. When he made it top side he jumped from rooftop to rooftop making his way to Chris's apartment. When he got there he saw he didn't have to go through the window to see her this time. Instead she was sitting on the edge of the roof looking out at the city as the sun was begging to rise.

Before he down to see her, he took how she looked. Her hair tied up in a ponytail made her look innocent in a way. And the clothes she wore complemented her slim figure and they did make her look pretty cute.

Somehow managing to break out of his gaze on her he made his way over to her.

Chris was staring at the scene before her. New york just looked so beautiful and peaceful during the sunrise. Her thoughts then trailed to Mikey, she did wonder what their time together would be like. She was more than certain that they would have a wonderful time; only thing was her heart kept saying that she wanted it to be so much more between the two of them. She was snapped out of her thoughts when she felt someone tap her on the shoulder.

She turned to the boy she waiting for, Mikey.

"Hey! I was waiting for you." She said as she gave him a quick a hug.

"Well I wasn't expecting you to be up this early, aren't you tired? Like at all?" he asked with a goofy grin on his face.

"How can I be tired when we get go skateboarding today?"

"Good point. So where's this skating spot you were talking about?"

"It's an old abandon construction site, no one lives in the neighborhood and no one ever come around. This way we can have fun, and no one will see you."

"Awesome, so what are we waiting for lest go!" Mikey said as he jumped to the next roof that was shorter than the one they were on.

Chris had a smile on her face as she waited for him to come back. As if on Q, he head pooped on the side of the building where he jumped.

"Uh... Why don't you lead the way, because I have no clue where we're going." He said as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

With a smile Chris jumped in the same direction he jumped first and Mikey followed. They were making their way east of the city where there was a really old part of town that no one would dare step foot in. As they jumped from building to building, Mikey noticed that he caught himself staring at Chris from time to time. He couldn't help it, the way her ponytail blew in the wind as they ran, the way the light of the sunrise made her skin glow. Every signal detail was intoxicating, she was different from the other girls he's seen, but there was this one feeling he had, he thought it was in his heart. That said Chris was the girl he was looking for, that she was his for taking. Wait, WHAT?!

He tripped while running on one of the rooftops, and he would have been flat face on the ground if hadn't caught him self by flipping and landing on his feet.

Chris looked back and saw him trip, she was immediately at his side.

"Mikey are you ok?" She asked with a little panic in her voice.

"Yeah I'm fine just lost my balance, I guess."

"Well please be careful. I wouldn't be able to forgive my self if you got hurt."

Mikey felt his heart warm up when she said that. He was close to rapping his arm around her and never let go, but he held his self back, and instead he just smiled at her.

They continued their trip to the construction site, and made it in record time. The sun had just raised up into the sky; it was a beautiful day. The temperature was just right, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Perfect weather for skateboarding.

"Ok this is it." Chris said as she came to a stop

Mikey saw the site and he couldn't believe what he saw. It was huge! Giant pipe that were big enough for two people to stand on the others shoulder and still have room. The unfinished building had steal beams and was reaching up to the sky; it was only at least a foot shorter than the Empire State building. Some of the beams were placed side ways and made it look like the letter Z from top to bottom. The cranes were rusted shut and were holding up rusted old gutters that were going to be placed at the top. This place was perfect!

"Well are you going to stare or are you going come with me?" Chris asked as she turned to Mikey.

"Man, I am not going to miss the chance to do some serious grinding down there. Let do it!" He shouted

And with that they both rushed down and made their way inside. Mikey already started by grinding the pipes that were supposed to be rails on the side of the building. Chris started off by doing loop-ti-loops in the giant cement pipes, and it was lucky for her that she didn't get dizzy that easy. They both switched positions and tried a little bit if every thing. They started pulling off every move in book that skateboarding has ever known. From the old fashion ones, to the new ones that people have just evented. They laughed, they screamed with joy, and as they were about to pass by each other they gave each other a high five, or in Mikey's case high three. It was perfect until Chris made a bet that she could reach to top before Mikey could. He accepted the challenge without hesitation. They got into position in front of the building, and the count down started.

In 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... BAM! The pistol shoots and they're off. (By the way this part was just a metaphor.)

As Mikey goes for the first route he see's; he makes a B-line for one of the beams supporting the building and began his climb. Chris went for a route that looked a bit easier. It wasn't as steep and went up further than the one Mikey choose. They're in first part of the race to the top. Mikey gains the lead has he advances by picking up speed. Chris see's the advance as she maneuvers her way through winding turns in the route she has taken. She caught up with Mikey and the two are now complete equals in speed and agility. However it's seems that Chris is gaining the upper hand as she is a bit more flexible that Mikey is. Now she starting to gain even more speed by making her way into the center of the building and jumping from beam to beam. Mikey then try's to copy her movement and the two are in sync again!

Their nearing the top, who's it gonna be? It's Mikey, it's Chris, it's Mikey, it's Chris, it Mikey, it's Chris! IT'S A TIE!

"Ha, I win, you snooze, and you lose!" Chris as she jumped up and down with excitement

"You did not, it was obviously me!" Mikey protested

"It was not."

"It was too."

"It was not!"

"It was too!"

"WAS NOT!"

"WAS TOO!"

The two of them got in each other's faces, with looks of intimidation. You could easily see the fire burning in their eyes; they looked like they were ready to blow. But instead they did the exact opposite.

They both tried as hard as possible to hold back their laughing, but just couldn't keep it in. They both burst in fits of laughter, they laughed so hard they held on to their stomachs, feeling like they were going to die from laughter. They began to calm down, and just when they stopped Chris's foot accidently slid of the beam and she began to fall! But instead of falling to her death, she managed to grab on to the side of the beam and held on for dear life.

"CHRIS!" Mikey shouted

He ran to her aid and grabbed one of her hands. He tried to pull her up, but she was holding on to the beam way to tight. He remembered she said she had a fear of heights, which was probably why she wouldn't open her eyes or let go.

"Chris, you gotta let go of the beam." Mikey said

"Are you crazy, I'd rather hang here all day than let go!" Chris shouted with eyes still shut tight.

"Listen it'll be okay, just let it go."

"Why, so I can fall to my death?"

"No so I can pull you up, I promise your gonna be ok, but you have to trust me!"

She some how found the courage to open her eyes ever so slightly, and look up at Mikey. He had on a serious face, which proved to her that he was telling nothing but the truth.

"I do trust you." She said as put on a small smile

He smiled back.

Chris gathered every last piece of courage she could find in her self and finally let go! As promised Mikey kept his grip on her and pulled her up with all his strength. The moment she was back on top with Mikey she rapped her arms around his neck and dug her face into his chest. She was scared half to death, and just couldn't take it. She came to Mikey for protection, and when she was with him she felt so safe, like nothing could hurt her.

Mikey on the other hand didn't know what to think! Chris just suddenly clung to him, and with out warning. He knew she was scared, but he didn't think it would be this bad. In an attempt to comfort her he rapped his arms around her waist and rested his head on hers.

"Look, why you and me go ahead and get down from here, it's a little too dangerous. Don't you think?" Mikey said

Chris, still to afraid to speak, nodded her head yes. He smiled and picked her up bridal style and made his way down without a problem.

When they were on the ground, Chris let go of him and kept her head down in shame. Mikey had a pity look on his face; he had to find a way to make her feel better. Then out of the corner of his eye he saw bush that was completely healthy and to make it even better it was a white rose bush. While she wasn't looking he made his way over to the bush and found one rose that was in complete bloom. He carefully cut the flower and took a few of the thorns. He kept it behind his back as he walked back to Chris.

"Hey listen, do you remember the night when you kissed me to thank me for helping to save your life?" Mikey asked

"Yes, why?"

"Well I was just thinking that maybe I could give you something in return."

"Aww, Mikey you didn't have to do that."

"But I wanted too."

She looked at him with curiosity on her face, and just when she was about to ask what he was talking about, she saw a white rose in front of her face. She didn't know what to think. The was the sweetest thing any boy had ever done for her, she took the rose from Mikey's grasp and took in the it's sweet aroma. She looked back Mikey and smiled brightly at him, soon enough she caught him a loving hug. Mikey hugged her back with out any hesitation.

"Thank you Mikey, you the most sweetest thing on this planet I've ever known." She said in his ear. He didn't see it yet, but she had a signal tear run down her face.

They pulled away and looked each other in the eye. Mikey then remembered that he should be getting home before it was too late.

"Hey, I think I should get going, before the guys think something's up." Mikey said with a little disappointment in his voice

"Ok, then I'll talk to you latter."

"OK, and one more thing before I leave."

Before she ask what, she froze when Mikey kissed her on the cheek! Her cheeks began to burn up and turn bright red. And with that Mikey left waving goodbye to her and she waved back. She shook her head trying to process this whole thing; she started to freak out, and ran out of the construction site as fast as she could. She ran through the old abandoned parts of town until she the outskirts of it. There she found right where the city limit of this part of town ended, was a church that was used often. She could hear the chorus singing inside. She walked up to the front door and went inside, she saw the people that were singing. They were all women, about 7 or 6 of them and the lady that was singing that looked like she was leading was a black women. She listened to them sing, it was very peaceful and it calmed her down, but it couldn't stop her thoughts from trailing to Mikey.

"Alright lady's and gentle men, we would like to take advantage of this opportunity, and ask you to come up and sing." The black women announced. "We want you to sing how your feeling on the inside. Sing what you think, and more importantly sing with the heart."

That when Chris got an idea, maybe doing something like that would help her just a bit. She wasn't how it would help, but she was gonna try it anyway.

"I'll go first." Chris said as she walked up to the front

"Thank you miss, tell me what is your name?" she asked when Chris was on stage

"Chris"

"Well Chris, what is it that you feeling inside, what do you want to get off your chest?"

"Well, it's about this friend of mine, and I think he likes me. A lot." That earned her awws from the chorus women.

"And do you know?"

"Because he gave me this." She then held out the white rose he had given her.

That earned her a few gasps from the women and the people in the church.

"And now I don't know what to do. I wish he didn't feel that, at least towards me. I already have a few issues that I have to deal with, but this can't happen to me not now."

That when the piano player began to play and she sang to it. (By the way just a little heads up. Chris will sing a few parts of the song, while the chorus women sing in the background.)

(Chris) If there's a prize for rotten judgment

I guess I've already won that.

No man is worth the aggravation

That's ancient history, been there done that.

Chris then turned away and threw the rose into the air, but one of the chorus girls caught it.

(Chorus girls) Who'd'ya think you're kiddin'

He's the Earth and heaven to you

Try it keep it hidden

Honey, we can see right through you

Girl, ya can't conceal it

We know how ya feel and

Who you're thinking of

(Chris) No chance, no way

I won't say it, no, no

(Chorus girls) you swoon, you sigh

Why deny it, uh-oh

(Chris) It's too cliché

I won't say I'm in love

I thought my heart just knew its lesson

It feels so good when you start out

My head is screaming get a grip, girl

Unless you're dying to cry your heart out

Oh

(Chorus) you keep on denying

Who you are and how you're feeling

Baby, we're not buying

Hon, we saw ya het the ceiling

Face it like a grown-up

When ya gonna own up

That ya got, got, got it bad

(Chris) No chance, no way

I won't say, no, no

(Chorus) Give up, give in

Check the grin you're in love

(Chris) This scene won't play,

I won't say I'm in love

(Chorus) You're doin flips read our lips

You're in love

(Chris) You're way off base

I won't say it

Get off my case

I won't say it

(Chorus) Girl, don't be proud

It's O.K. you're in love

The girls passed the rose down to the leading women and she put it in Chris's hand.

(Chris) Oh

At least out loud,

I won't say I'm in love.

As the song ended the people raised up from their seats and cheered for her. She then understood a bit better now. She was in love with Mikey, he was the sweetest thing on earth, and she could see that he cared about her a lot. The rose and the kiss he gave her was more than enough to prove that he felt the same way. She doesn't need to be afraid, she knows how she feels, and she doesn't care about her other half. She was in love and that's all that mattered to her, but the one thing she had to do was tell him!

"Thank you all so much, I finally understand a bit better now." Chris said as she ran for the front door.

"Hey! Where are you going?" the black women called out

"I gotta find him, I need to tell him, I LOVE HIM!"

The entire church was then filled with the sound of clapping and cheering as the women in the chorus jumped up and down with excitement. They stood up once more and watched as she left.

Chris had to find a way to tell him, she needed him to know, but she found out that he didn't like that way. At least she'll have gotten one burden off her chest.
