Today at work it was the usual. Just a bunch of regular uptown women telling their girlfriends and anyone else around what they thought of the art. If it spoke to them or not, what the piece they thought represented and then they sometimes debated over it. Sometimes they would indulge with their husbands credit cards and buy a painting for the "Guest house at the lake". I wasn't going to complain though, these women were the main reason I got paid. The more I pay the closer I get to dance studio time. Yeah I know. . .small steps. I know I'm not going to wake up one day and be in a Rihanna video I have to actually work for it. So I practice consistenly nonstop everyday. I excersize, limber up, stretch. THen all day while I'm NOT at work I'm working on a new move or perfecting one. Even on my breaks which since I got paid so much just to be secretary, tour guide and receptionist. I got an hour break. So I'd be out on the gallery floor sliding on the regularly waxed and mopped floor. Practicing with my Ipod. Most of the time at home, but a studio would be great. One that only I had the keys too. I love sharing the apartment with the girls, but small things like interrupting me. Or stopping me to take a break. I know They mean well so sometimes they give up make me something small to munch on and leave it in my room for me while I'm not looking. Gwen buys the best cookies, and Elisa could actually make a decent pasta. But sometimes all the while, while I'm trying to perfect myself. . .I feel like I'm missing something, and sometimes I . . .I cry at night wondering why I feel like I'm missing out. Well . . .after the incidents that have happened recently. like finding out your best friend is dating a . . .mutant green guy, but with a nice personality. Things get forgotton so I have to not neglect practice. Lynnette tells me to slow down, but then I tell her to quit and take a vacation from the whole bounty hunter deal. I'll slow down when she does that , that was our deal. .. .it has YET to happen yet.
(Elisa)
We went back to the apartment it was 11 am. It was so much fun, we went by the park and there were no kids playing, probably at school anyway, but . . . He didn't mind when I wanted to swing for awhile. He . . .even pushed me on the swing. It was like in one of my books. the two teenagers are playing at the playground like they were little again. All the time wishing they could say what they wanted to to the other. But . . .I still had some doubt about him. Donitello was . . .the smart type too. What if He thought I wasn't mature enough for him? Or . . .I wasn't his type or something. i mean he is after all a turtle .Besides . . .We didn't even discuss about what he over heard me talking about with my girlfriends in total confidence while he was pretending to be a statue the last day and a half. The whole thing was just thrown at me so quick I didn't have enough time to think, and I like to think things through. But . . .I was stuck. Half of me wanted to flow with it and see if it lead me anywhere I wanted. The other half was trying to be logical, keeping my day dreaming 'me' in check. So after the swinging, we walked back to the pent house apartment, talking about books we've read. Which I liked. . .we found even more in comman. But then I sort of stopped myself, I dont know. Hypothetically speaking. . .would it even work out? I mean. . .he was . . technically human, he was brought up in a human world so hes like any other guy, just the whole Mutant, and turtle resemblance difference. I'm kind of looking for stipulations. I wonder what hes thinking, because hes a thinker too. Analyze and hypothesize, problems, until you find an answer or conclusion. I really wish I knew what he was thinking when he opened the door for me to the apartment. We handed out doughnuts to the ones in the living room. I noticed Gwen looked a little distant, we might have to have a heart to heart later. But Mikey looked happy like he normally would. well I only knew he was the mr. sunshine kind of guy. I didn't know what he 'actually' looked like until recently. Personally it didn't bother me that much, It was just thrown out there so fast I got whiplash. lol. Gwen whispered something to Michaelangelo and his smile turned to a half smirk and let her off his lap and out of his grip. She went to her room, and I followed. I knocked on the door and could hear her mumbling something. "Who is it?" she asked trying to be polite.
"Its me, can I come in?" I asked. She said a quick 'sure Eli' Before I opened the door. I closed it quietly behind me, and leaned against it.
"Gwen are you alright, you look troubled." I explained.
She held her head in her hands, "I dont know whats wrong with me". She said frustrated. "Is it your time of the month?"I asked, she was a little crazy around 'that' time.
"No, its these feelings I've been having lately". She said pulling her hair out.
"What kind of feelings?" I asked like a therapist almost. I sat on her bed with her, hands folded in her lap.
"Well . . .recently was Mikey and I's one year anniversary". She replied with a sigh.
"Oh congratulations, uhm. . .is that a good thing?" I asked.
"Well yes, I was so happy I cried. He got me a . . .promise ring". She said showing it to me.
"Oh gwen! Its gorgeous". I exclaimed sounding very happy for her, which I was. . .but she was going to give me the downside of her dilemma now.
"Yeah. . .I was so thrilled when I got it, and we danced to our song in a gazebo covered in lights. It was so romantic you could have died. But . . .its been a year. . ." She said lowering her head.
"Well . . .Whats the problem?" I asked.
"Well. . .I know hes different than me and all but . . .I dont even see any difference anymore, its as if he were human, which basically he is, but just different looking. So he dresses in clothes to take me out, we go to movies, the skate park, out for walks, out to dinner or lunch, picnics, to the mall to go shopping. We watch movies together, cuddle on the couch, We even fall asleep together. . ."
"I'm sensing another 'but' coming in"I added solemnly.
"Its been a year, and I . . .I feel . . .oh geeze uhm. . .we've never . . .done anything other than those things". She said trying to explain herself.
"You need to be more specific sweetie". I said patting her shoulder.
"Ok I guess I just need to come out and say the issue then. We've kissed, we've made out like there was no tomorrow. But . . .we've never . . ." She trailed and expected me to catch on. Which I did, For her I had to think about this like everything was normal like normal women would talk about having issues with their men.
"So your issue is that you havent been . . .'getting busy'" I said using a Lynnette term.
"It was all fine till about a week or so ago when I first started thinking about it. Well we kind of got in a heated situation, and I got kind of into it so much I didn't want to stop infact I wanted to keep going. But he stopped us. . .I didn't know what to say or do because we both knew we went a little farther than usual with the position we were in. He just asked If I was ready to go to sleep and then we slept. Later on that day I asked one of his brothers. . .The big burly one with red, Raphael if it was possible to. . . you know.. .he answered me honestly, although he did make me feel very self conscious when I asked, but he still answered me that . . .Yes . . .although they may look different they were more than capable. They have the . . .equipment, so to speak. . ." She trailed off again. I just nodded for her to continue and finish. "Well the other day I really.. . wanted to. . .but I'm . . .I'm scared to talk to him about it. . . we never discussed it, never even hinted. . .and I know hes trying to be the best gentlemen for me, but up until about a week ago it wasn't hard to ignore those feelings. I sometimes get those really. ..vivid dreams, and this morning he walked in on me in the shower. . ." She said with a frown.
I had to slap my hand over my mouth to not giggle. I was trying to help, not get a joke out of it.
"I had to turn the shower onto cold. . ." She trailed off giggling at herself. I giggled with her and we both started laughing at how silly this all sounded. But it wasn't really silly, it was a woman problem that needed to be addressed with maturity.
"Okay, I understand your problem, and I suggest a few things. Try to talk to him about it, I mean what if hes thinking the same thing and is just hoping you'll break the ice for him? Or . . .you could do the aggressive thing and try to maybe . . push it a little, without words. He might catch on and it would be spontaneous. But . . .just sitting here doing nothing is not helping. But . . .if it doesnt work out like the way you planned. I would ask Lynnette and shed probably tell you what I'm telling you now. "You can take care of the issue yourself, if you know what I mean". Or shed say "Theres no point in just sitting here getting all horned up if you dont act on it" You shouldn't pent feeligns like this up, you could become miserable." I finished my concluding sentence and she nodded with a smile.
"Okay. . .Thanks Elisa! your such a lifesaver!" She hugged me.
"Heh I Try" I said smiling looking up at the ceiling, my ego a bit blown up.
"But . . .How do I go about talking about it to him?" She asked.
"Well If I were being Lynnette who is usually smart in situations such as this. She'd say something along the lines of. . .Make him feel what your feeling. . .hint at him if you know what I mean."
Gwen hugged and thanked me again and we both came out of her room with her boyfriend looking at us a little worriedly. Because gwen went from distant to throwing herself on him and kissing him on the cheek but not saying anything and then skipping off to the kitchen.
"How did you do that?" He asked me with a dumbstruck look on his face after his happy girlfriend.
"Its a girl thing" I said waving it off to watch t.v in the living room. I heard Donitello laugh, and everything was in a happy setting. . .
(Mikey)
I think I might be wrong but . . .Gwen had been acting kind of . . .weird lately. Like when we cuddle . . .she gets a little stiff. She stiffens up like a board and tries not to move so much, its like she wont blend into me anymore. I wonder if it had anything to do with me accidentally walkin' in on her in the shower. When I realized it . . .I quickly looked away and ran out shouting "Sorry". I did stand there for a sec though, I mean come on , girlfriend + shower naked=distracting. I had to litterally force myself to look away. It was almost like a hazy blurr. Like after you totally wipe out on a board and hit your head hazy, without the pain in your head echoing itself. When she got out she looked at me for a second like I was from another world, completely alien to her. But then I patted my knee asking if she wanted to watch "Jackass 2" She smiled a "I LOVE BAM MARGERA!" and life went on as if the incident never happened. Although I did get a little . . .uhm. .. whats the right word. . .paranoid. I mean I was trying to be a complete gentlemen and everything, and I know we had never talked about it but . . .After the shower thing I kind of thought about it. But then I dismissed it because Gwen wouldn't want to do that. . .But with her acting all weird lately. . .I started to wonder . . .what she really thought.
Although I did become the Love guru for Don today. He told me about his walk in the park with Elisa. The swinging, the ducks the whole mushy caboodle. It was kind of cool to be the one asked for advice for a change. He wants to impress her and he thinks talking about books and junk wont do it. So I suggested we all do a group date activity to kind of get everyone together. We both agreed it would be the best course of action to take. I wanted to make Gwen comfortable to be near me again, and he wanted to impress Elisa. We both knew Raphael has a thing for Lynnette just from the way he looks at her and follows her to work and stuff. But hes too macho to admit it, and Lynnette might not know it yet but shes starting to notice him more too. But theyre so stubborn it'll take alot more to help them so Were starting out now. Were going to have a group date night, but we planned it for some other night . We had to get going back to check in at Home about information of the Foot. Leo would have our shells if we took another night off .
(Donitello)
It was already a great day it was still early. When we were done with the bread and feeding the ducks, we passed a playground. Elisa told me when she was little the swings used to be her favorites. She had this . . urging look on her face, which made me want to just . . . well . . .kiss her. to put it in laymens terms. so this time I decided to ask to detour. She smiled like a little girl and then we 'ran' to the swings. She grabbed the one nearest to her, and she started pushing off like a little girl in a womans body. She was so . . .adorable. . .yet beautifull and grown at the same time. She flipped her hair upside down on the way downwards and up. I sat on the other swing for a bit and pushed a little. Then she started slowing down humming a song to herself. "Do you want to stop?" She asked. I didn't say anything I just smirked got up and then pushed her swing to go higher. She giggled and I laughed with her. I pushed her on the swing for about 3 minutes when she got high enough she leapt off. I thought she was going to fall so. . . I jumped out and caught her. She looked at me a little confused but laughed. I smirked wondering what was so funny about almost falling.
"Thanks for the catch hopper but I would have landed it" She said giggling.
"I know". I couldn't believe I just said that.
When we walked back to the apartment, I just thought about things I could have or should have said. But . . .she held my hand again crossing the street, and then . . .she didn't let go for awhile. When we got back, I sat in the living room with Mikey , Gwen and Raph. Leo had gone somewhere to meditate. Gwen whispered she needed to go take care of something, and To me it seemed like she was a little sadened by something. When she got up I watched Elisa watch her, then follow Gwen to her room. Raphael was sleeping on the Recliner. Thats when I told Mikey about everything at the park and then told him I wanted to impress her but . . .didn't quite know how. Since Mikey was already with someone I figured I'd be asking an expert. But . . .this was still Mikey we were talking about , so it felt a little weird asking the one who usally asks me all the time. He told me he was just himself but did try to impress her by making dinner picking movies, and having fun with her. Plus he told me how he kicked this one guys shell for stalking gwen and then trying to . . .claim her, he ended up shooting her dog and . . . well he was there for her the whole time. They went through a traumatizing event and he was her rock, holding her when she cried, and telling her he would be there to protect her. Although I didn't want to have to wait for some pyscho to try to go after Elisa or shoot her pet to get me to impress her, we wanted to try more conventional methods. Mikey suggested a whole group thing. He started naming off things like "Dinner, Mall, Movies, Carnivals, games, arcades, Boat rides, sunset walks. Apparently Gwen was very pleased with his claw machine skills and he'd win her stuffed animals and such". Small things could be triggered to make a female happy, it was just all about how you went about it.
(Raphael)
I was snoozing when I heard a door open and some loud music get louder the farther it opened . It was closed again making the music fade. She was singing whatever the song was, and I was amazed by her voice. I peeped open an eye pretending to be sleepin'. She was in some tight half dark colored jeans, these black boots over the jeans. Her hair was down and loose around her shoulders, she had this . . .hot bed head hair thing goin' on. She shook her hair walking by to the kitchen and I could smell her perfume. Her Green eyes were bright, even with the black makeup around them. What made me open both of my eyes was her loose black and gold "Iowa" basketball Jersey. She had on one short glove on her right hand and a black wristband on the other. She had sweat on her neck and some on her arms. I got up and walked into the kitchen like I was getting somethin' out of the fridge. She bent over to reach a water bottle in the back. She defintely had my attention. She wasn't model skinny, she had some curves. But she had a little more in the back. I tried not to look at her waiting for her to move out of the way. "Need something?" She asked looking up at me, still . . .bent over. "Yeah, could ya hand me a water?" I asked, leaning my arm agains the top of the fridge. She leaned down to reach another and pulled up to hand it to me. I know what I needed, A good smack upside the head, and maybe a doctor. I thought, when I watched her wipe the sweat off her neck with a hand towell. She went back to her room and I went back to the chair, falling asleep. . .
When I looked out the window the sun was setting and the city looked orange. Don and Mikey were playing video games, with Gwen and Elisa. Doni was letting Elisa win. . .the poor shmuck. . . Then I noticed a basketball jersey and tight panted angel come out with a guitar and a speaker base. She didn't say anything just mumbled to the girls "be back in, in a bit, need some chill time". I waited for her to head out the door, before I followed her. She went down the hallway to head to the exit but made a turn the opposit direction. she went through a grey painted door which I slipped in before it made a loud slam. She went up some steps and out this other door, I could see the sunset orange bright outside. I waited a minute or two before following. When I walked out, it was a little cool out. The sky was gold and orange colored. I heard the vibe of an electric guitar hiss in the air. When I found her she was facing away from me, tuning her guitar and the speaker plugged in. A boombox in the corner, it was playing the drums and everything she didnt have with her. Lynnette started playing a song I remember hearing over the radio a few times.
The boombox played the first part before she started singing, leaving me. . .her audience. .
When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside
When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we're spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love...
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me
In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
Heaven_
In this world were just beginning
to understand the miracle of living
baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore_
Ooh baby do you know what thats worth?
Oooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
we'll make heaven a place on earth
Oooh heaven is a place on earth
Oooh Heaven is a place on earth
Oooh Heaven is a place on earth
OOOOhh Heaven is a PLACE ON EARTH_
I was in trouble. . .so .. .so much trouble. I shook myself. . .watching this girl, out of my mind. I was absolutely freakin' nuts, well it wouldn't be the first time.
"I wanted to be like you
I wanted everything
So I tried to be like you
And I got swept away
I didn't know that it was so cold
And you needed someone to show you the way
So I took your hand and we figured out
That when the tide comes I'd take you away
If you want to I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted was somebody who cares
I'm sinking slowly
So hurry hold me
Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wantedwas somebody who caresAll you wanted was
somebody who cares
If you need me you know I'll be there
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted was somebody who cares
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone"
When she finished, He had his head pounding against a wall, and when he wasn't looking. Lynnette went over to another wall and pressed herself up against it, thinking of something more frustrating then losing a bounty.
She thought she was going insane. So she took a deep breath and sat down on the concrete roof. The sun was setting behind the city, and the sky was still a gold color, slowly fading to twilight. She turned on the music to something else. Singing along to some songs on the radio. She felt like someone was watching her but when she turned around no one was there. Which kind of made her feel a little dissapointed, she thought maybe. . .he would be there watching her. It was an almost comforting thought, WOAH WOAH WOAH! She had to snap out of this crap, Men werent her thing. She went on bounties on her own, she took care of herself on her own. The guy or should I say mutant turtle she met recently only helped her out like once or twice and she wasn't going to start getting attatched. She shook her head of any previous thoughts and got up grabbing her guitar and speaker. But at the same time, thinking of how nice it would be to . . .
She had to stop and carry only one down the stairs first and when she got down the steps to her floor almost tripping over her speaker chord and boombox plus her guitar hanging around her shoulder.
"Need some help?"
She froze and her heart skipped a beat in a frozen moment. He was leaning against the wall leading to the hall to get into the Apartment. She quickly tried to hide anything she was thinking by saying "Thanks, I got it though". She pulled up everything she had and shuffled over to the door to open it. She couldn't open the handle, and then he took the boombox from her hands mumbling a "women" and opening the door for her. She gave a small giggle and walked in. She set the stuff on the floor by the t.v and started laughing when Gwen was kicking Donitellos butt at guitar hero.
"You realize he only has three fingers to your 5" I said with a laugh. She gave me a "SSSHHH Im trying to cocentrate!" and I sat down on the couch laughing. Thats when HE sat down next to me.
"I think they're all hopeless". he joked.
"I'm worried" I said in a faking worry with a laugh, putting my face in my hands shaking my head. When the game was over Elisa had won, but I think Donitello might have let her. Because then Mikey highfived him while Elisa wasn't looking and I caught on pretty quick.
"Congratulations Elisa, now that you've won a very intense and hard battle of Guitar hero, what will you do now?" I asked being funny.
"After my accomplishment in the video game field for this evening I plan to make something to pig out on, would you care to join me" she asked me with a fake and funny upness.
(Elisa)
I had just beaten Don over a video game, true I had an advantage with all 5 fingers and all but it was still a small victory considering we had fun. I guess I WAS being kind of a show off. While Lynn and I were putting in a pizza, because we were too lazy to make anything else Gwen walked in to sit with us. I smiled at her new 'outift' knowing what it was for. Lynnette gave her the twice over "I love those boots. . .considering they're mine" She said with a laugh. "I promise I'll give them back later, its an emergency". Gwen said lacing it up. "So whats the occasion for dressing up, you even put your hair up." Lynnette asked. Gwen motioned over to Mikey in the living room with her eyes. Lynnette caught on pretty fast and just giggled. Then she walked up to Gwen and sort of moved her hair a little bit, gave her some Cherry Chaptstick, and then pulled one shoulder off of her shirt so it leaned and showed off her left shoulder. Lynnette made the okay sign and laughed walking back into the living room. When Gwen walked in followed by Elisa. Gwen walked over to Michaelangelo who was playing a video game with Donitello. She stood there for a second and didn't take his eyes off the screen "Hey babe wanna play?" He asked then he 'looked up'. Lynnette laughed knowingly and so Did I. But we tried to hide it so Gwens cover wasn't blown. "Nah I like to watch you play instead" She said with her arms behind her like some innocent girl. His eyes got a little wide, and a nervous smile displayed to cover it. She moved over and sat down on his lap taking the controller from him. She started playing for him and Gwen was trying to make it difficult for him. Lynnette had the pillow to her face because she was trying not to giggle. Gwen moved and kept shifting in his lap. His grip on her was loose and his face was one of trying to hide his 'true' feelings. The pizza was ready and then Lynnette ordered the meat lovers double stack. Elisa had one or two slices.
"Geeze Lynn where do you put it all?" She asked, comparing her two slices to Lynns 4. "I work it off later" She replied taking another bite. While Mikey was playing his video game Gwen kept feeding him bites of hers. She was really really trying.
About an hour or so later it had finally gotten dark, and they had to go. Gwen pulled Mikey into her room for a few minutes, before he had to leave. Elisa said her goodbyes and made sure to give her Email, cell # , and work number to Don before he left. Which he returned with the email and number exchange. Lynn didn't really know what to say.
"Seeya around" She told Raphael.
"Later". He replied, going out through the fire escape, he did a small salute with the flick of his wrist and then, he vanished. When Mikey went to follow he looked back at Gwen who was waving innocently at him. He waved back with a "Later babe" but the look on his face was . . .funny. Frustrated, a little uncomfortable, and FUNNY. Elisa was going to ask what Gwen was doing to him later. Kira didn't say goodbyes she was too busy practicing. They all had left leaving the 4 girls with the Apartment to themselves again. Lynnette was going to go workout in her room, Elisa wanted to talk to Gwen about her. . .'true intentions'.
"Okay Come on what did you do to the poor guy?" Elisa asked Gwen. They were sitting in the living room watching "Sex in the City".
"Nothing too evil, just hinting like you suggested and a little. . .warfare that Lynnette suggested".
Knowing Lynnette I had to ask. "What kind of warfare?" I asked a little worriedly.
"I teased him to the point he would want to keep going then I . .. stop."
"Just stop?" Elisa asked.
"Just. .. .stop" Gwen smiled. This girl was going to get her way if it took till her next birthday Elisa thought with a laugh.
(Mikey)
We made it back to the Lair, Leo went to go fill in Master Splinter. Doni went to his room and went to work for something on the computer, his 'new project' or something. I sat on the couch watching t.v because. . .I was whipped dude. Gwen totally blew my mind before I left. First it was what she changed into that got me. She was in a little off the shoulder shirt, short shorts, and lace up boots number that made me stop playing right in the middle of my game. She sat on my lap which. . .was okay until she kept shifting and moving around. She would giggle in a slight whisper close to where only I could hear. It was a little . . .bit of a turn on. Which was what I was trying to avoid. So later on when it was time to hit the road and say "Seeya later, keep your fridge stocked of frozen pizza for furture reference". Gwen pulled me aside into her room, with the lights turned off. I could feel her hug me and then we got kind of . .. caught up in the moment. We were kissing like normal and then . . .it got . . .really. . .intense. It almost hurt to stop. But , she made us stop. I was all over it when she suddenly distanced herself and turned on the light. she gave me a quick light peck on the cheek and told me she would see me later. I was . . .dumbstruck.
(Donitello)
I was on the computer looking up places in New York within a budget for . . .dinner. Something new, that no one would recognize us just in case. I was going to organize and get ready for this what Mikey calls "Group date, of secretness". Apparently it invovled people being on a date who didn't know they were on a date. Mikey said it was simple, Dinner, Mall, Movie, something fun for everyone, and then late night walks in the park. This would be a little side project right next to developing my new improvements on disarming security devices in our constant struggle with the foot. Raphael mentioned a run in with a purple dragon earlier this week out by the Bar where Lynnette worked, (Didn't surprise me any). But there hasn't been much activity from the Purple Dragons in a while so the Foot were first to be obsverved. Leo came back from talking with Master Splinter.
"We have to find the guy who got away from Lynn that night".
"Ronan" Raphael said getting up, he remembered.
"How are we going to find him?" Mikey asked.
"Well if we get his file from Lynnette, and get some more information we might be able to know where they congregate" Donitello suggested.
"I'll go talk ta her" Raphael said getting up. He didnt' even ask he just started heading out.
(Lynnette)
Was doing a quick workout before she decided what she was going to do. She was a bit mixed in her feelings. She was mostly angry that Ronan got away. It was near about 10:30 and she needed to head into the bondsmans tomorrow to see if anyone needed to be picked up.
"Bad Girlfriend: by theory of a Deadman". She sang along shaking her hair and using a black metal baton for twirl practice. Her same outfit shes been in all day.
"My girlfriends a Dick magnet, My girlfriends gotta have it
shes hot, cant stop, up on stage doin shots, up the middle , ring the bell
Get her drunk she'll scream like hell
Dirty girl gettin' down, dancing guys from outta town, grab her ass I can talk, mess with her she'll fuck you up.
"No one really knows , if shes drunk or if shes stoned
But shes coming back to my place tonight
She likes to shake her ass, she climbs into the pitts
She likes to pull my hair , when i'm feeling sick
I like to strip her down, Yeah shes naughty to the end.
I know she is no doubt about it , shes a bad bad girlfriend!
(knock knock)
"SHE LIKES TO SHAKE HER ASS she climbs into the pitts!
She likes to pull my hair yeah it really makes me sick
I like to strip her down, shes naughty to the end.
You know what she is no doubt about it shes a BAD BAD GIRLFRIEND!
It doesnt take her long to make things right!
But Does it make her wrong to have the time of her life?
The time of her life, the time of her life_
My girlfriends a dick magnet , my girlfriends gotta have it!_
(KNOCK KNOCK)
Lynn didnt hear someone knocking on her fire escape window. She kept singing the next verse and then the guest at the window figured he'd wait till the song was over.
SHE LIKES TO SHAKE HER ASS SHE CLIMBS INTO THE PITTS
she likes to pull my hair , oh really makes me sick
I like to strip her down, shes naughty to the end.
I know what she is no doubt about it shes a bad bad girlfriend
Shes a bad bad Girlfriend!
Shes a bad bad Girlfriend!
The song ended and Lynnette bowed before an invisible audience laughing.
She heard someone clapping slowly. She looked to where it was coming from and . . ."Oh dear lord". Raphael was clapping slowly with a smirk. She turned down her music, and headed over to her window. She unlatched it and opened it up so he could get in.
"Never heard of a front door?" She asked, crossing her arms with an embarrased smile.
"Whats the fun in that?" He asked.
"Okay snoop, what do you want?" She laughed.
"whatcha talkin about ? I came to watch the show" He said with a laugh.
She punched him on the arm but not hard "Come on" She asked.
"How would you like to track down the red head who ganged up on ya the other night?" He asked leaning against the wall.
Lynnette stood a little disbelieving for a minute "what do you mean?" She asked.
"I mean about gettin' even with tha ass wholes who outnumbered ya" He said twirling one of his sais on his finger.
She tried looking a little serious. "You have my undivided attention" She said, arms crossed again.
He smirked knowing she wouldn't pass this up.
(raphael)
It only took five minutes for me to explain that I was going to go after this guy because he was foot ninja. She threw on a black jacket flipped her hair and then grabbed her truck keys. She pulled out the printed copy of the file in her jacket pockett and handed i to him. "His girlfriend wont help me anymore, she had to move out for awhile after telling me about the warehouse". Lynn explained.
"We wont need ta ask". He said. Lynnette looked up quizzically. But kept driving anyway. He was giving her directions telling her they were headed to mid town.
"Take the next exit it goes straight to mid town" He asked.
"Thats the low town to up town exit, mid town is in the Middle. I can take the next exit and get there faster".
"Just take the next exit, we can cut through up town to get to mid town" he explained.
"You want to go straight to mid town we take the next one after this one on the right" Lynnette said getting a little irritated.
"Your gonna miss the exit" He said getting a little miffed
"I'm the driver I'll pick the best route to mid town!" Lynnette said.
"Your gonna get us lost!" He said back a little louder.
"I will not!" she shouted back.
"Will"
"WILL NOT"
"WILL"
"WONT!"
"WILL"
They just stopped, and was silent for a minute or two until Lynnette took the exit she wanted. They reached midtown.
"HA" She said stopping at a red light.
"Pfff Dont mean nothin'" He he said in the passengers seat crossing his arms. Lynnette smirked, she liked feeling like she was right. Even if it dent his tough guy ego. He told her to park over by a particular parking space. There were some guys across the lot who had tattoos on them. Just like the purple dragon guy who hit on her at the bar.
"What are we doing here, and who are they?" Lynn asked stopping the truck and turning the radio low.
"Purple Dragons, but I dont know why their in Footclan territory" He told them both questionably.
"So their connected somehow?" She asked. "That one guy at the bar who hit on me, he was one of them, he had the dragon tat snaked around his neck". She said observantly. "Said he was a gunslinger" She snorted. She looked over at Raphael who seemed to be thinking. There were three guys over there, and he didn't want to put Lynnette in any danger. But . .. she was a female, and being a woman in New York had its advantages.
"We need ta get inta that building, the one their guarding". He said observing.
"So how do we get in?" She asked.
"Im thinking a distraction, then I could find a different way in". He said looking at her. She was looking at the guys across the lot, nodding.
"Okay, good plan" she said agreeing with him.
She slowly looked over at him, and he was looking at her with a knowing look. "You want 'ME?" to distract them?" She asked pointing at herself, increduously.
"I'll find a way in and then come and get you" He said looking the other way, thinking she was going to get mad.
"What the heck am I supposed to do?" She asked gripping the steering wheel. He shrugged his shoulders in the side seat. "Your a female, you have the advantages of SEVERAL kinds of distractions".
"Are you insinuating something?" She asked putting a hand on her hip.
Raphael was slipping out of the car "I'm saying you'll think of somethin'
He said with a smirk. She had a feeling she knew what he was saying. She sighed and then knew what she had to do.
(Raphael)
I was scaling the side of the building, looking for an opening into the foot headquarters. on the east side of the building. I looked down hanging onto the ledge and leaning against a gargoyle. I heard the truck shake down below with music. "Swing by savage", My eyes nearly popped out of my head. I told her to create a distraction, not give em a show!
She put her long brown hair in a red bandanna letting her bangs surround her face. Her tight black tank top showing off her curve and features. Her hip hugger jeans and boots. It was enough to make any guy break a sweat. The truck door was open so the music could be heard across the lot. Her hip swayed to the music walking in a signature tough girl demeanor. She walked up to the big guy. . .figures.
I watched as she innocently placed a piece of her bangs behind her ear. She looked as if she was asking him something. The big burly one smirked and nodded. I watched 'seething' as this guy was escorting her back to her truck. He popped the hood and set it up. She probably played the whole
"Would you have a look at my truck I dont think its working right" game. She leaned against the car, her bottom emphasizing her leaning over. She giggled at something and he started talking and looking around at the engine. I shook my head "women".
(Lynnette)
Well Raph told me to create a distraction so I did. I took off my jersey, and my jackett leaving my tank top on showing small thin red bra straps in the back. I put a bandanna in my hair, but made it so my bangs were out in front of it and my mane in the back. let a bit of my underwear by pulling up a string above the belt on my hip. I did my best cat walk over to them, I picked the big burly guy. When I walked up to them they stared at me up I kept my eyes locked at the big guy, smiling my best charming cute smile. Placing a big of my hair behind my hair.
"Excuse me, Sorry to bother you but . . .I was wondering if one of you wouldn't mind taking a look at my truck? I can't get it to start and Im afraid I'll do something wrong trying to fix it". I explained. Even tho in real life I could fix my truck no problem. The big burly guy smiled and put his hands in his pocketts puffing his chest out.
"Sure thing little lady, its no trouble at all". I escorted him to the car holding onto his elbow. He popped the hood and took a look. I looked up and noticed a turtle shaped outline above a gargoyle watching. He pointed towards the north. Then he dissappeared. He must have found a way in. I got in the truck when the burly guy told me to try to start it after he adjusted something. It roared to life and I smiled. I got out and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh my gosh thank you your such a lifesaver". The big burly guy blushed
"It was no trouble mam, now you get home safely". He said waving me goodbye as I drove out of the lot. I drove slowly on the empty street, then I heard something land in my truck bed. He knocked on the top, and I pulled over in a parking space out in front of a church down the street. I got out and he came up behind me almost scaring me.
"Nice distraction" He said with a little bit of a miffed attitude, smart ass.
"You wanted a distraction, and I got it". I said putting my hands up in surrender. I guess he wasn't too happy with the show I gave that burly guy.
"So how are we getting in?" I asked.
"Up there, window, no cameras on the floor, 5 from the end by the gargoyle ledge". He said. . .walking up the building.
"Uhm. .. How am I getting up there?" She asked while they both looked up.
She gave a small yelp when he picked her up over his shoulder he jumped up. to each ledge, she was clinging on for dear life, and he chuckled.
"Not afraid of heights are ya?" He asked with a dark sense of humor.
"No. . .just not so sure about you carrying me up . . .heights". She explained trying not to look at the ground. They reached the ledge by the gargoyle. He set her down on the gargoyles back.
"How are we getting in the window if its locked?" She asked.
"Trust me, this is cake compared to other things I've done"
"I can only imagine" She said looking away crossing her arms. When she heard some clinking, he was using one of his sai's to try to unlock the lock on the window mechanisms. There was a small click and a pop as he set the window frame against the building on the edge. He peeked in before climbing onto a desk. He helped Lynnette in and then they walked around a bit. This room looked like no one had been in it for a long time.
"So the foot clan operated here?" She asked, dusting off a computer.
"Yeah, when we got rid of the shredder, we thought they split up".
"So now you think they're up to something?" She asked.
"They were meeting the night you got ganged up on. One of their guys didn't show, because you were chasin him. They went looking for him and then they found ya, and thats how this whole thing started". He explained looking around through papers and drawers.
"Lucky me" Lynnette said with fake enthusiasm.
"So what exactly are we looking for?" Lynnette asked looking into a file cabinet.
"Anythin' that would prove the Foot is up to no good. . .again".
Lynnette checked another file cabinet, this one had names. She scrolled through and then. . .one caught her eye. She pulled it out and her eyes got wide.
"Whatcha got there?" He asked, she only had to look at the name, and then handed it over to him and walked over to a different cabinet. He looked down at the manilla folder in his hands with a name at the top corner.
"Cole Asani. . .thats. .. " Raphael trailed off. Cole was the name of the guy she dated a while back. Her ex, he wanted to crumple up the file but something told him not to. He watched her bend down to open a lower drawer, there was a small but still visible pink line on her right shoulder blade, almost hidden by her tank top. That would have been the spot he . . .stabbed her. The thought of it made him angrier than anything imaginable. Someone like her getting hurt, or just her getting hurt in general pissed him off.
"Doesn't look like anything is here, anything recent anyway". She said getting up rubbing her arms.
"You should have brought your jacket". He said a little concerned with the goosebumps on her arms.
"I'll be fine" She replied. Now he wished he had a jacket on to offer her to wear. "Lets get to another room and look somemore". He walked up to the door, and checked the handle to see if it would open.
"Stick close alright". He said to her he opened the door slightly then checked the hallway. He noticed there was a camera with a red light on.
"Wait a minute, Don told me the cameras in the building werent workin. Just the outside ones." He exclaimed a little worriedly.
"What kind of idiot would turn on outside cameras but not inside ones?" Lynn asked.
"I think we can get passed it to the next room across the hall, but we have to wait till it moves". He said. He opened the door and then put a finger to his lips to signal to be quiet. He waited till the camera moved the other way, then ran across the hall opening the door and holding it open. He motioned for Lynn to cross the hall. She waited for the camera to move, then ran over in the room. She closed it quietly, and they started looking around. "Hey Lynnette over here" Raph motioned her to come over to a desk in a cubicle. The computer was on, and a small green cursor was blinking.
"They must have been using it, and left it on" He guessed.
"You know anythin' about computers?" He asked with small hope.
"Only what Elisa showed me, and I did take some computer classes in highschool . . . " She said shrugging sitting down in the computer chair.
"Okay. . .Spiritually if Elisa was here she would say, that in order to start a program you should click enter to see if anything happens. . ." She suggested.
"So click enter then" He said.
"The worst case scenario would be I click enter and then someone is alerted that were here, getting us in deep crap". She said leaning her head on her hand. looking at him with a sarcastic look and tone in her voice.
"We'll risk it" He said. She rolled her eyes and then moved to press enter with a twirl of her wrist and a press of one finger.
"Here goes nothing". She hit enter and then a bunch of words came up scrolling itself. They watched it, and then then a black and red screen came up with a foot clan symbol in the coner.
"We need a name and password" She said putting her head in her hands thinking. Then it hit her. She placed her forehead on the desk holding out her hand to him.
"Hand it over" She asked with a sigh. He made a small growl in his chest before handing her the file of her ex. She opened it up and there was his picture clipped into the cover. She didn't want to cry in front of Raphael. So she held it in. But his picture was looking up at her with his devilish smile, that mischievious look in his blue eyes. His moppy black hair combed straight for the photo. he wore the sign of the Footclan above his brow on a bandanna. She flipped the picture over so she wouldn't have to look at it. She looked through his file not wanting to read anything. Then. . .there was a sticky note behind the paperwork. It had what looked like a name and the password. . .She got up holding it in front of her. She wiped her eyes, and felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey. . .You okay?" He asked softly.
"Yeah, the asshole made his password our old song" She said typing it in. She made sure no tears were showing when she smirked at him. "Some ninjas, they forgot to clean out the old files. . .dumb asses" She half laughed trying to disguise the voice that she was trying not to cry. He gave a nervous chuckle in reply. She put in the name
"C-Asani", and the password "Addicted-saving Abel" She said typing it in."Cross your fingers" She said hitting the log in button.
A new screen showed up. Raphael had one hand on the back of her chair looking over her shoulder. "This is. . .wrong" She said setting her hands on the desk off the keyboard.
"Whats wrong?" He asked.
"This page says that His last log in was . . .Last night" She said shaking her head.
"So hes still involved with the foot?" Raphael asked.
"That would be unlikely, considering hes in in a max prison for life sentencing. He killed a cop the night they tried to bring him in after . . .we had that argument".
"Yeah I remember you saying something about that". He said quietly by hear left ear. Truth was he remembered it clearly, and it angered him. He looked down at that pink scar again. He had to look away, or else he might've just ripped the room apart. "Whats that file called "Assignments" ?" He asked pointing to it. Lynnette clicked on it and then a list of operations were scrolled all the way down two pages.
"I'm guessing these are the 'missions' he had to do. Or what he told me , the exhibition matches" She said in a deep voice mimicking her ex. She scrolled down and there were some dated. . .just a week ago he was given a new one.
"This doesnt make sense, hes in prison so why would they give him an assignment thats dated since last week?" She asked.
"I dont know, but whats his assignment?" He asked.
She clicked on the file, and before she could start reading it, Raphael pulled her out of the chair and put a finger to her lips to keep quiet. He pointed to the door and she heard voices in the hallway. She gave him a 'what do we do?' Look. He looked around quickly, the voices getting closer. There was a ventilation duct, above them. He used his sai as a screwdriver undoing the door latches. He picked up Lynnette and they crawled into the duct looking through the ventiliation slides. Lynnette was relieved when she logged out of his profile in a split second before they came into the room. 4 footninja and a huge blonde man in a business suit walked into the room.
"Hun" Raphael whispered.
"Hun as in Honey? I didn't think you liked the strong and silent type" She said being sarcastic.
"Haha very funny , his name is 'master hun', hes the leader of the purple dragons. . .but what do the purple dragons have to do with the foot?" Raph asked both himself and Lynnette. They both looked through the ventilation duct watching them.
One of the footninja logged into the computer.
"Bring in the three who witnessed the incident" Hun ordered. One of the footninja bowed and walked out of the room. Lynnette felt a little tightspaced, she tried to breathe slowly and calmly. Raphael looked serious and intent on what was going on below them. When the footninja came back three others were with him. Then another footninja followed.
"Tell me, what exactly happened". Hun ordered. The three footninja took their masks off. One of them was Ronin. Lynnette made a low hiss noise through her teeth, only she and Raphael could hear. He gave her an agreeing look of dislike towards the red head below them. The other two looked a little bruised up when they took their masks off.
"Master Hun, the night of the meeting I was being followed and chased. My recent activity with he law caught up with me. I had a warrant out for my arrest. A bounty hunter came after me for the bondsman I used to get out of jail till court date was due. I missed court date while I was on a mission for the foot". He explained on bended knee to Hun.
"Understood, now tell me, who was this bounty hunter?" Hun asked with grievance. "I didn't know her name". Ronin told Hun.
"Her? The bounty hunter was a female?" Hun asked.
Raphael and Lynn both said "Shit" at the same time.
"Yeah, she was good lookin too I mean, I noticed her appearance, I could give her physical description easy". Ronin offered.
"Tell me, since you dont know her name. . .is there a possibility this bounty hunter could be a threat to the operation?" Hun asked him questionably, doubting a simple girl could jeapordize the mission.
"No sir, but . . .There was more" One of the bruised up ninja on bended knee spoke up.
"What more?" Hun asked.
"She wasn't alone, someone helped her" The other bruised ninja spoke.
"Who?" Hun asked.
"It was a . . .a giant turtle sir, he carried Sai's"
"Was he the one that made you two look so colorfull with your bruising?" Hun asked with a laugh. Lynnette could hear Raphael chuckle darkly.
"Yes. . . When the bounty hunter was taken out, he stepped in and rescued her. After we were out he took her off into a truck and sped off". The other explained.
"A turtle. . .it could very well be one of the turtles, the ones who took out Master Shredder". Hun explained.
"Sir, They wont interferre. . .I guarantee it. They have no idea what our operations are, and the incident was a mere clash of meeting. Obviously this Bounty Hunter has befriended the mutants, and just happened to be going after Ronin, Who should not have missed his court date and caused so much stir". He said pointing the blame squarely back on the guilty faced Ronin. The other two stood up, and backed away as Master Hun approached him. Lynnette thought Hun was like a massive bear standing up to a small fox.
"Ronin, In order to keep you out of trouble until you can keep up with the rest of us. . .I'm assigning you a . . .babysitter". A few of the foot ninja snickered.
"Oh . . .great. . .thankyou Master Hun" Ronin said in utter defeat.
"Master Hun I've checked the database, all systems should be up and running again. The converging of the Foot and Purple Dragons will be complete in a few short hours".
"So thats what they're doing, the Purple Dragons and the Foot are joining together". Raphael whispered to Lynn.
"Even if theyre not coming after us, I still dont see how thats a good thing" Lynn.
"It aint" Raph answered her.
"We must go make preperations to gather the massess, I will go assemble the Purple Dragons. Tell my second in Command to assemble the foot ninja".
Everyone had left and the lights were turned off. Raphael waited a good five minutes before getting out of the ventilation duct.
"Drop down I'll catch ya" He said. Lynn closed her eyes and let herself drop. She felt his arms catch her and set her down before she opened her eyes.
"So . . .What now?" Lynn asked.
"We head back, I need to warn my brothers and master Splinter. . .Aaand I want to take you home, just to be sure you'll be safe and everything".
"Sounds nice, I'm tired" She half laughed. "I'll drive okay" He said as they made their way to the window they came in through. He picked up Lynn and he took long jumps down till they reached firm ground again. It was about an hours drive back to the Pent house apartment, so he told Lynn he would drive. He opened the car door for her, when she was in and buckled he leapt over the car and got in the drivers seat. He turned on the radio and turned it a little low before they headed off.
(" I knew the foot were up to no good. Crime never takes a break. The criminal element of this city maybe guilty of a lot of things but . . .quitting aint one of them") He thought. They had only been driving for about 10 minutes and he could already Hear Lynnette drift off to sleep. ("She must be tired, been a pretty busy girl lately. Her two jobs, plus getting hunted around by foot ninja dont give ya much time to take a nap") She had her jackett covering her front like a blankett. He turned the heat on because of the goosebumps on her arms. He thought about her ex being a foot ninja, and lying to her about it. But something that was unsettling in his mind was that she said, her ex had been given recent assignments. She said he was in New Yorks top max Security Prison. He killed a cop. . .so they sent him to the worst slam they could find, for life. So if hes in the slam, then . . .why would the foot keep giving 'him' work to do? This was something he would have to check out for himself later. He was sure Lynnette wouldn't want to have anything to do with 'cole'. Which was perfectly fine with him, because he didn't want 'cole' to have nuttin to do with her neither. ("Shes a sweet girl, a little rough around the edges, But hey I aint complainin'. Shes had a pretty tough life. Your 'boyfriend' stabbing you in the back, litterally, probably puts you at a major all time low. In yet shes kicking butt left to right and making a living off of it. Plus her job at the bar, and her hobbies like workin' out and singin'") A girl after my own heart. He thought to himself silently. He gave a small laugh, and looked over at her. The moon shining through the car windows, glowing on her. A song came on the radio that really fit the situation, or so Raph thought.

The song changed and they just kept coming. He wondered how she could sleep. He's so stressed it could take a few hours before he himself finally crashed. The real issue that was eating at him, away at his whole being. Every time he looked at her, he felt like . . .
After watching and gettin' to know who she was over the last week. He thought she was funny, sweet, a little rough around the edges, adventurous, caring, tough. she was all these things mixed together in this Shining green eyed creature sleeping next to him in the passengers seat. The red bandanna in her hair was slipping off when she rubbed her back against the seat. The love songs kept coming and it started to frustrate him. He was about to change the station when . ..
"I like this song" He heard a drowsy small voice say. He put his hand back on the steering wheel with a small smile. He heard her fall back to sleep. the song was called "Sanctuary By Utada Hikaru".
("I know already, I know I wouldn't be able to . . . I aint like Mikey. Gwen and Mikey got together because they were meant for eachother. I dont even know whats going to happen tomorrow. So I couldn't just go assumin' that me and this . . .angel next to me would end up . . .getting together. I was a Turtle, usually not the first prime choice for prom") he thought to himself sarcastically. During the song he had a flashback to when they had that run in, in the hallway. She didn't know who he was so he didn't blame her for defendin' herself. She had some real punch in her, my jaw still hurt even when I went home. I made a mental note not to accidentally frighten her in the future, not unless I wanted some of my teeth to go missin'. I had her pinned up against the wall after getting nailed in the jaw, and once on my left cheek. She fought back and struggled but when the lights came on. Her face was that of a blank newspaper, and the curiousness like one of a cat. Her eyes were so big, just staring up at me as if I were some. . .giant marvel or somethin'. She didn't struggle at all , just looked at me. We stared at eachother for a bit until she made the remark to mikey reffering to me as his dog. I eased off and she was pretty ticked about the whole thing. I figured she'd go to her room all mad but . . .she made sure to tell Gwen she was okay with Her and Mikey. Which surprised the hell outta me. Most people. . .most normal people would freak out, or call an asylum to come take Gwen to get some serious help. But . . .she just wanted her friend to be happy.
Raphael parked the Truck in the apartment parking lot. She was asleep, and he didn't want to wake her up. so he took the keys out and unbuckled her seatbelt. He put one arm around his neck and supported her like the way he'd seen guys do it to girls on t.v. Carrying the bride onto the threshold or some tradition like that. She didn't stirr but hung onto him limply. It still gave him turtle goosebumps, the feel of her skin on his. He took the elevator up to her floor. One of the keys on the door worked and he managed to use his hand . Still using both arms to support her. He opened the door shutting it with his foot. He walked into the hallway, and found the door to her room. He opened it up and her scent was everywhere. It was a mix of . . .Vanilla, fruit, and gun oil. Perfect. He set her on her bed and even tucked her in. Her room reflected her, covered in posters of bands, wrestlers, dragons. Some with wise crack sayings on them. or Keep out signs, one wall decorated with caution tape. There were monster engergy drink cans on a desk with a laptop. A small but useable weightset, a punching bag. Then there was one desk set apart from the others. A picture of all four girls. Elisa was smiling through a pair of glasses, her eyes closed. Kira was waving at the camera. Gwen was making a peace sign her tongue sticking out. Lynnette was hugging all three of her friends and one hand was stuck out on Gwens shoulder into a Devil horns "rock on" sign. They looked like . . .a family. Speaking of family he better get back to his to let them know whats been going on with the purple dragons and the foot. He took one last look at her sleeping peacefully. He made sure the blanket was up to her shoulder. Then walked to her door and just before he closed it he heard a small "Night Tough guy". She turned over before settling in.
"Night" he replied back, he had a good feeling spread through out his entire body, which didn't happen often. He felt . . .happy. Little did he know that Kira, Elisa and Gwen were watching and they were all guessing as to what happened.
(Mikey)
When Raph got back, Leo lectured him on just leaving like that without someone to go along with him, and called him a rogue ninja. Raph just laughed at him and said Lynnette was with him. Which didn't look so great in Leo's Eyes, getting one of Gwens friends in trouble. But when Raphael in a state of smugness said "Oh Yeah, well we found out some pretty intense stuff, master Leo". He said being darkly sarcastic. "The Footclan and the Purple Dragons are joining together". Which made all of us look up. Even Master Splinter looked up from his medditating.
"They arent coming after us, because they think we dont know" He explained.
After he told us the whole story, but it sounded like he left 'some' parts out. We put the pieces together.
"They dont plan to go after Lynnette, or our family. . .so should we really get involved?" Donitello asked.
"Are you kidding me? The Purple Dragons and the Foot getting together, aint good. Not just for us, but for the entire city". Raphael argued.
"So what do we do now dudes?" I asked, while everyone was silent.
"Perhaps it would be the wisest choice to wait and observe. If the foot truly mean to do harm, then we will act". Master Splinter said getting up, walking towards his room. All 4 brothers were silent. Raphael still had other things on his agenda. He wanted to go check out 'Cole' and make sure he was still in prison. But he couldn't do it getting caught, and he didn't want to bring Lynn along for that. He would do It on saturday night, which was in a just 3 days anyway. Mikey noticed Donitello was working on something, he was on his computer nonstop and he kept hooking up stuff in the simulation room. Where he would put them in a simulation and they would practice fighting stuff in different kinds of worlds, realms, dimensions. Different enemies. But Donitello was taking that stuff out. When Mikey asked him , Don said it was only Temporary. Mikey didn't have much to do but he had to call Gwen to ask if she was okay, and get started on his . . .plan.
It was obvious his brothers werent going to come out and do anything about it . . .so CUPID MIKEY TO THE RESCUE! Mikey the Matchmaker was going to get them all together for a group date. He started daydreaming while watching Grease on T.V. Us all getting together would be perfect. he knew secretly thats what they wanted but . . .heck they're all too proud to admit it, or too scared. If he hadn't of taken that chance with Gwen, by telling her how he felt, he wouldn't be this happy today. He couldn't imagine a life without Gwen. It just felt . . .empty. He loved having someone who understood him, play video games with him, watch him and cheer while he did skate tricks which no one else could do. Someone he could show his cooking skills off to. Someone who needed him, and would accept him as the mutant turtle he was. Green skin, shell and all. If it could happen to him, it could happen to his brothers. And because of some awesome twist of fate, Gwens best girlfriends were perfect candidates. Lynnette was seriously bad ass, and totally Raphs type. She could keep his hot headedness in check, and Raph would be able to be the guy that she could never find. Donitello and Elisa already liked eachother, they just didn't know how to go about it. Elisa doesnt seem to care that hes a turtle, and they have a whole bunch of nerd stuff in common. Donitellos already whipped anyway, so they're perfect. Kira and Leo both are completely dedicated to what they do. So dedicated they probably dont even think of things like finding a mate. Well. . .2 out of 3 brothers aint bad. Mikey thought shrugging. He called up Gwen on his shell cell.
"Mikey!" . He heard an excited female voice shout from the other end.
"Hehe I knew you would miss me". He said smugly. "Whats up babe?"
"Oh uhm well I took work off this friday night, theres going to be a carnival out by the docks. I was thinking maybe you'd wanna go?" She asked with a slight hope of a little girl who was praying.
"Carnivals? I LOVE CARNIVALS ! SWEET! Cotton candy, rides, games, NACHOS!" He could keep going.
"So I'm guessing this means you'll wanna go with me then?" She asked laughing.
"Actually yeah, and . . .maybe we could go on a group date?" Michaelangelo asked mishieviously.
"Group date?" Gwen asked.
"Yeah, I'll bring my bros, you could bring your roommates?" Mikey asked with a little hope crossing his fingers.
"Michaelangelo what are you up to?" She asked knowing he was up to something.
"Nothing, just the love doctor wants to get all his patients together for a little expiriment thats all". He said with a teasing voice.
"Oh dear lord . . .well okay I'll ask if they want to go too". She gave in.
"Thanks a ton Babe, I'll make it up to you I promise" He said all happy.
"Oh I know you will" She laughed. "I gotta go close up the shop, Love you". She said ending the conversation.
"Love you too! Seeya on Friday" He hung up after she blew him a kiss through the phone and hung up.
This whole thing was going to exactly according to plan.
(Gwen)
Mikey just asked me to invite my girlfriends, and I could only imagine why. He was trying to play Mikey the Matchmaker with his brothers. She shook her head hoping this whole thing didn't end badly. She giggled though at his enthusiasm. He cared for his brothers and just wanted them to happy like She and Mikey were. Everyone deserves someone after all. Besides it wasn't like having her girlfriends there was going to changer her plans. Lynnette suggested all the girls go shopping for new stuff anyway. Since Gwen was borrowing her favorite boots all the time. So they would have to make a shopping trip before that night. Gwen wanted this to work smoothly. Just like Lynnette said,
"Guys are usually the ones who let you know when they want it. If you tease him long enough his Male hormones will end up taking over and you wont even have to worry about asking about it. It'll just happen, and you wont have to have that whole talk about it".
"But I feel like I'm playing a trick on him or something" Gwen responded feeling guilty.
"Listen. . .Your his girlfriend. . .and its been a year. I think your qualified for a fuck". Lynnette responded bluntley. Making Gwen laugh nervously.
"Your so BLUNT about it" Gwen laughed.
"Its not that complicated, you want to fuck your boyfriend, Thats it. Even if he's a giant walking talking turtle and this 'might' qualify as beastiality. But you said hes got the equipment like any regular man. So Theres no equations, no stipulations, just use a condom and get on the pill again. No problem, no issues, everyone ends up with smiles.". Lynnette said throwing her hand out laughing. Gwen laughed in shock at how she worded it but . . . she was right.
"If this was any regular guy, you wouldn't be asking me". Lynn pointed out.
"Your right, hes my boyfriend, even if he isn't quite 'fully' human. Its the same thing just . . .Oh my god I'm going to stop talking about his before lose my mind". Gwen replied laughing.
"On friday we'll go shopping for the group date, and it'll go fine". Lynnette said reassuringly.
"your right" Gwen said nodding her head. She still felt so dirty about the whole thing. But its become almost to the point shes afraid to be near him. She loved Mikey, turtle or no. So why should something like this get in the way?
(Friday morning)
WAKE UP LADIES! LETS GOO! Someone was banging a on a pot with a spoon all throughout the house. The song TIk TOK was loud enough to wake Jersey.
"GWEN I"M GOING TO KILL YOUR BOYFRIEND!" Lynnette shouted from her room. Mikey hid behind Gwen when the beast with black p'js came out of her room. She eyed him with daggers, and walked over to them.
"HEy Lynnie Good morning!" Mikey said a little nervously. Lynnette watched with anticipation as Raphael walked up behind Mikey grabbing the pot putting it over his head. Lynnette took the spoon and hit the top of the pot about five times before huffing her way to the bathroom. Mikey had to sit on the couch a little dizzy. "ITS 7 AM!" Lynnette shouting from the bathroom.
"Early bird gets the worm I guess" A sleepy Elisa got up. She walked into the kitchen to see Donitello sitting in the kitchen drinking some coffee looking a little tired himself. "Good morning" Elisa said going to pour herself some coffee. Donitello took out a doughnut twist from a bag, next to him. Elisa giggled, he stopped by Java junkies. "Thanks" she giggled. "no problem". He smiled. Kira woke up already in her outfit for the day. Some light blue flare sweatpants that had Angel on the butt. and a Jean jacket with a light blue tank top underneith. Her hair up in a pony tail.
"I'd hate to be you Michaelangelo, Hell hath no fury than that of Lynnette Nauta woken up before noon". She said fixing her pony tail. She noticed Raphael and the other one Leonardo sitting on the couch. She ignored the look from Leonardo and put in her Ipod sitting in the Lazy Boy. Gwen was playing video games with Mikey on the floor. Elisa sat in the kitchen having breakfast with Donitello. Elisa got up "I should go change, I'll be back" she smiled politely. "Okay" He replied back. Elisa ran into Lynnettes room with a bunch of tops and pants. Lynnette was going to help her pick an outfit weather she liked it or not. Lynnette walked in with a towel on.
"HELP ME LYNNIE PLEASE?" Elisa begged.
"You guys act like i'm the goddess of knowing what to wear for guys and stuff" lynnette asked.
"Since its fall, you can go with the cute sweaters and stuff look". She explained. Lynnette pulled out a light violet elbow laced tight blouse. It had lace edged around the end of the sleeve which stopped at the elbow edge. Then she handed her a pair of her lightwash jeans, and a pair of white with purple accent shoes.
"It compliments your eyes" Lynn explained.
Lynnette Put on a pair of medium dark hip hugger jeans, and a tight black and gold Iowa Jersey. which she tucked a little bit behind her belt which was studded with gold pyramid studs to match. She flipped her bed head hair a few times. Which Elisa complimented always 'impossibly' looked bed head sexy. She put in a pair of hoops and they applied a little eye makeup. When Elisa walked out she smiled at Donitello who looked at her with a smile. She hoped that meant he liked the way she looked. Lynnette didn't even notice the way Raphael noticed her. Which made Mikey laugh, because it frustrated his brother to no end.
"Are we ready to go shopping now?" Gwen asked.
"I guess so" Elisa said. "But what car is going to fit all of us?"
"We have that issue solved". Donitello Said. "Were taking the Battle shell, which is cleverly disguised as a moving truck". he explained proud of himself.
"Someone could also take the truck". Leonardo suggested. Lynnette grabbed her keys. "I'm drivin' my truck, I'll follow you guys up to the mall". She said. "Shot gun!" Raphael said following her out in his baggy black hoodie, sunglasses, ballcap, and baggy jeans with sneakers. Lynnette looked to see only they were going to take the truck. She spun the keys on her finger walking out to the parking lot. When she got in the drivers seat she immediately turned on the radio to something and turned it almost all the way up making the bass system boom. "Everywhere I go, By Hollywood undead and Eminem".
"HOPE YOU DONT MIND!" Lynnette shouted to him in the passengers seat. She heard him make a laugh and he started bobbing his head to it. She rolled her window down. waiting for the battle shell to get movin. Elisa bobbed herhead and laughed at Lynnette who was singing the whole thing to her with emphasis.
Let's get this party jumpin'
Let's see some 40 chuggin'
I wanna see your booty rubbing against my dick when I start buzzin'
Come on girls I wanna see you drinkin'
I wanna see your brain start shrinkin'
Make a move I saw you winkin'
Drunken pussies what I'm thinkin'
I don't give a fuck if you're drunk or not
Turn it up loud feel the ambiance
Grab 2 ho's and do some body shots
I wanna party all night until they call the cops
Fuck a wristband lets all do a keg stand
I'm like Cheech with out the Chong
Hittin up the beer bong
When the cops show up
Their gonna get the finger
And i don't give a fuck
Cuz I'm the designated drinker!
Raphael laughed when Lynnette sang the rest of the song. Back in the battle shell/moving truck. Elisa was complimenting a very blushing Donitello. Mikey laughed at Doni who had his chest puffed out a little in pride.
"You put in all these customations yourself?" She asked surprised.
"Yep. . .I was making my own toys when I was little, so As I grew the toys just got bigger". He said proudly. He was showing her the missle launchers, and the shell gun at the top. Mikey was showing Gwen his new cat "Clunk".
"Awwww hes so cute!" She said cuddling him. The cat meowed and purred against her touch. "AWWW clunk likes you" Mikey said hugging them both. Leonardo and Kira were sitting quietly. Kira was looking around, and Leonardo felt a little out of place.
"So what are you listening to?" He asked, just making casual conversation. Kira gave a small smirk and set her headphones over where his ears would be. "Utada Hikaru" Leonardo said. Kira nodded with a smile. When Donitello announced they were at the mall. He pulled into a space at the end of the parking lot away from the other cars. Lynnettes Truck pulled up beside them. Donitello helped Elisa out and they laughed at how loud the music in Lynnettes truck was playing. Lynnette killed the engine and The two head bobbers got out. They all walked into the mall and stood by the fountain by the entrance.
"Shoe carnival" Kira And Gwen both said.
"I'd like to stop at the Barnes and Noble if no one minds?" Elisa asked.
Mikey stepped in , to start his 'Plan'. "I'll take Gwen to Shoe carnival, Leo you can come with me so we can carry the bags."
"Why are we carrying the bags?" Leo asked.
"Its customary for the men to carry the ladies shopping bags" Mikey explained giving Gwen a peck on the cheek for emphasis.
"I'll go to the Barnes and Noble with you if you'd Like" Donitello offered Elisa. She smiled and took his hand, "Your my hero!" She said as they walked to the store.
"Guess that leaves, us" Raphael said putting his hands in his pocketts looking at Lynn. "Yep" She said with half a laugh.
"Well meet up at the fountain, we'll text you" Leonardo said, fronting his leadership skills. They all agreed. and They all
(Play songs like 1985 for fun effect for the story, or check yes Juliet)
Elisa was scanning through books and felt a little shy going into the Romantic novels section. Donitello followed behind looking through ones then noticed they were in the 'romance' Section. There was a book that Elisa looked at , then he noticed she sighed and set it down. he took a look at it. It looked like a good read. But the price on it wasn't so great. Elisa said she brought with her 150 dollars which was going towards bargain books and clothes. this book was 50 bucks. He smiled and waited till she was done shopping getting a new bookmark and 2 books. he told her he would catch up he wanted to use the restroom. The guy at the counter gave a laugh when Don put the book on the counter and pulled out his credit card. It was a credit account April helped him set up years ago so the family could order things online. fifty dollars wasn't much compared to what he had saved in it, which was ALOT. He worked his own hours with Tech Support. The guy at the counter seemed to understand and put it in a brown paper sack. "Have a good day" He said handing it over after taping the opening. "Thanks, you too". Elisa was waiting patiently out in front of a "Wet Seal" store.
Lynnette and Raph had been walking around for about 10 minutes. Then Lynnette saw it. Her head turned slowly and a heavenly look spread on her face. Raphael who didn't stop turned to see what she was looking at. He chuckled, "Let me guess, is it the one I'M looking at?" He asked knowing.
"Lets go" She said not looking at him but pulling his hoodie forward. When they walked in Lynnette Took a giant breath in and then sighed.
"Thankyou lord for the Harley Davidson!" She said throwing her hands up. She walked over to the shirts going through those, she found some in her size and put them in a hand held cart which Raphael agreed with a pride bitten growl. She threw stuff in, and then she spotted it. The motorcycle in the window. Raphael was trying not to look at the bras which had the Harley Davidson logo on them. he turned to find Lynnette had vanished.
"Hey, Wheredya go?" He asked looking around. When he found her he just chuckled. "Now I Don't know whetha to laugh, or to be embarrassed". Lynnette was sliding on the motorcycle seat and lowered herself to hug the body, trailing her hands up to the handle bars which she gripped and bit her lip. "If this Motorcycle were a person, I'd marry it". She exclaimed hugging it. Raphael was looking around to see if anyone else was watching the way she was touching this bike. Like she was making love to it. She sadly got off, making a face. "Like motorcycles huh?" He asked with a laugh. "mmmmhhhmmm" She said looking back at it. "Gives me chills everytime I walk in here" She laughed and shivered with emphasis. She went up to the register and paid for her shirts. That gave Raphael an Idea, one that he knew she'd like, and in 'his' favor.
Kira and gwen spent an hour in shoe carnival. Bought 4 different pairs of shoes, each, and then they took a trip into Pac Sun. Mikey and Leo were piled high with shopping bags already. "Dont worry its worth it later" Mikey said to Leo who was trying not to drop anything. The girls giggled when they saw how much they had bought. Kira took a few bags from Leo who smiled in appreciation. Gwen stopped them halfway in the hallway almost causing Mikey to fall over. "Kira . . .text Lynn and Eli". Kira looked at the store Gwen was standing in front of. She shook her head.
"Gwen found 'THE' store, emergency, get your cute butt out front". Elisa read out loud. "guess they found something" Donitello said reading it himself. "Knowing Gwen I'm scared" Elisa said looping her arm with his.
(Lynnette)
"Hey Gwen found "THE STORE" get your cute ass up front, If i have to suffer, you do too". From Kira.
"Uh oh" Lynnette said putting it away.
"Whats , The store?" Raph asked her smirking. Lynnette smacked her forehead and wiped her face. "You'll find out. . .unfortunetaly". They started walking back to the front by the fountain.
All four girls stood in front of the store. In all its glory. Elisa had her face in her hand "Are you serious, we couldn't post pone this until the NEXT shopping trip?" She asked.
"I need a new one and its been forever since I've been in here". Gwen exclaimed. She hoped Mikey's reaction was just as good as her friends.
Lynnette was scratching the back of her neck nervously. Gwen skipped in like a little girl at christmas. "Lets just get in the there and get out" Lynnette said to Kira who sighed and nodded. "I'm a little frightened of how excited Gwen is to go in there, especially when her boyfriend is with us" Elisa said staring up at the stores neon lights.
"Arent we all?" Kira said walking in behind her friends. She didn't bother to ask the guys to come in with them.
"The things I do for you guys" Lynnette said shaking her head. All four brothers watched the girls walk in.
"Are we supposed to go in there?" Raphael asked. All of them looking up at he "VICTORIAS SECRET" Sign.
"I actually . . .dont know" Donitello said. "And thats a shock coming from me, considering I know most group date customs and rituals" he said afterward. "I read four books on the subject, this wasn't in any of them" He exclaimed.
"I think we should wait out here until they're done" leonardo suggested a little nervous himself but trying to be cool about it.
"Come on guys, so what if its an underwear store. Were Ninjas! We fight mutant monsters and battle ninjas and thugs all the time. Are we going to let something like underwear get in the way?" Mikey said trying to be brave. "Besides they'll think were total whimps if we wait out side". Mikey said trying to make a point.
"Mikeys right, We'll let them get their stuff and then get out. 10 minutes tops" Raphael agreed. They all winced a little walking into the pink lights. The whole store smelled like perfume and manikins sporting very . . .appealing lingerie. They all stood nervously by the benches. There was one guy sitting waiting for his girlfriend who was. . .'modeling' things for him. They looked away and sat down. Watching the girls rush back and forth. Lynnette turned around holding a red lace bra with a black bow on the front. "HEY Elisa what about this one?" Lynn asked. Then she turned her head to see. . .
"OH MY GOD! She pulled Gwen into a rack of bras with her. "WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY DOING IN HERE?" Lynnette asked freaking out.
"What?" Gwens face turned into a smile when she saw all four guys sitting on the waiting benches. "THIS IS GREAT!" She said to Lynnette.
"Gwen have you LOST YOUR MIND?"ELisa said getting into the hidden rack with them. Kira congregated with them. Gwen skipped out to go to the perfume section, and by the magazines so no one would see she was coming up with a devious little plan. All three girls stood and watched worried after their friend. "I told her to tease but . ..this is just ridiculous" Lynnette said. "I think the perfume has finally gotten to her head!" Kira said. Elisa proffessionally turned around. "We'll just resume like nothing is wrong get our stuff and get out, no one has to be the slightest bit nervous that theirs disguised Ninja turtles in the Victoria's Secret". All three girls nodded in agreement. Lynnette and Elisa were helping Kira pick out some light blue underwear. Which Kira paid for and was done. She waited by the waiting benches not looking at the boys beside her. She held the bag behind her innocently. Lynnette and Elisa were in the dressing room holding options. Gwen got out after picking a perfume. and then went up To Lynnette holding a very nice Red bra with the Letter L printed on it in cursive. "LYNNIE this would be HOT on you!" Gwen said loud enough for the whole store to hear. Lynnette looked over with a squinched eye shut face at Kira. Kira giggled and Raphael was chuckling under his hood.
"THANKS SO MUCH GWEN! Maybe you should say it louder I DONT THINK THEY HEARDYA IN JERSEY!" Lynnette grabbed the bra and went to go pay for her stuff. Gwen was giggling, then she went to go help Elisa pick out something. "violet or lavender is such a great color for you, your colored violet eyes would totally make this pop!" She said holding out stuff for Elisa who 'trying to be nice' Took the stuff went to go pay for it. Gwen wanted to have her devious plan take action now that everyone else was done.
"Elisa when youre done paying for your stuff could you ask Mikey to come over to the last stall I want to ask his opinion". Elisa knew where this was going and figured. Everyones embarrassed enough as it was, why not somemore! lol. "Sure Gwennie". Gwen giggled and went over to the stall.
"Anyone else wanna leave Chucko in the stall to play by herself" Lynnette offered. Kira nodded "Very tempting. . .very very tempting". Elisa laughed and nodded in agreement.
"Uhm Mikey. . .Gwen asked me to ask you to go over to the last stall , she wants your opinion on something". Elisa pointed back at the last stall, with a nervous and half embarrassed smile. Mikey stood up with a red face. Raphael hit him on the arm laughing. "Dont do anything I would do Mikey!" Raphael shouted. Lynnette laughed sitting next to him.
Michaelangelo gulped walking over to the stall. "uhm Gwen?" He asked. Gwen raised her hand above the stall. "In here!" She said happily. Mikey gulped again. "So uhm . . .you wanted my opinion on somethin'?" He asked. "Yeah its safe you can come in, its unlocked".
(Meanwhile On the waiting benches)
The girls and Mikey's brothers all watched Michaelangelo walk into the stall. . "OH Dear god LYNNETTE LOOK WHAT YOU DID!" Elisa shouted at her trying not to laugh. Lynnette stood up pointing at herself.
"What I DID?" she laughed.
"YES! You gave her the Idea!" Elisa accused pointing at the stall across the store.
"I just gave her the idea of teasing, the basics! Your the smart one your supposed to tell her to NOT LISTEN TO ME! You should all know better than to listen to me!" Lynnette half shouted half whispered so Raphael wouldn't hear. Which unbeknowest to them, he could hear everyword. Being a ninja had its advantages, good hearing was one of them.
"WEll SHE DID NOW WHAT DO WE DO!" ELisa whispered loudly.
"I dont know! Kira what the heck do we do!" Lynnette asked and the girls huddled together. The guys acting as if they didn't know what they were talking about.
"I say we wait patiently and just pretend we know nothing" Kira offered.
Elisa looked back at a blushing Donitello she gave a nervous smile and he nervously smiled back she faced the huddle again. Lynnette broke the huddle after many suggestions.
"I got a better Idea! I'm going to go enjoy what been lost of my nastalgic childhood and go to the chuckie cheese across the hall!" She said walking to head out the door.
"Anyone up for Chuckie Cheese?" Kira asked with an awkward smile.
All three brothers and Elisa raised there hands.
(Mikey)
I'm in SOOOOOO much trouble. I mean . . . This was . . .I dont even know a word for it . . .I can't think of a word for it.
Gwen is standing right in front of me with nothing but a bra and some very . . .questionably small underwear. The lace underwear was orange and it had the peace sign on the front in metallic orange. Her bra was orange too, it was covered with small metallic orange hearts.
"What do you think?" Gwen asked modeling it for him. Mikey just hoped she wouldn't turn around. He had to keep complete control of himself.
"you look . . .ya . . .look. . ." He had to think of a word quick.
"Ya look Cute Dudette!" he said thumbs up smiling a nervous awkward smile. He had to make sure nothing downstairs was showing just incase his shell wasn't enough hold. Little Mikey Downstairs wasn't agreeing with him. "I'll letcha change back" He said quickly getting out and shutting the stall door. He sat on the waiting bench again, noticing everyone had left. He had never really experienced this before. Well actually he had, hes had these feelings with Gwen before and it took almost everything he had to not act on them. When he was younger Master Splinter never discussed Sex Ed with them. It wasn't exactly in the Ninja training manual. So he asked Doni how the process worked, now try getting sex education from your mutant turtle brother. Back At Gwens place In Illinois She dressed up once when she was going to have drinks with a guy from work. She cleaned up real nice. Tight jeans and a tight t-shirt. It would have made ANY guy, turtle or not, squirm. He wondered it maybe Gwen wanted. . .Naaaahhhhh she just wanted to know if the underwear looked good on her or not. and against his better judgement . . .he gave his honest opinion. When Gwen was done payingfor her stuff she smiled at him and they walked over to the Chuckie Cheese were the others were.
"What took so long Mikey?" Donitello asked teasingly.
"Yeah Mikey ya sure took your sweet time" Raphael added. They chuckled.
The girls were over playing games. "Wanna play some games before the pizzas' ready?" Gwen asked mikey. Now arcade games. . .this was something that he felt at home with. He lost all his original thoughts and raced Gwen to the car racing ones. Raphael and Leo watched Kira and Lynnette play dance dance revolution.
"You go ahead and pick the song Lynn, It wont matter much any way" Lynnette said rubbing her nails against her shirt.
"oh hehehehehe" Lynnette said in a fake laugh shaking her head at her friend. "your just a show off" She said to Kira as she was picking a song.
"Since your such a show off you can pick the first song" Lynn offered to Kira.
Kira pressed a button and "Give him Up: By Faber Drive" started playing. The arrows started playing and they started stepping with it. Jumping to the other one, doing the arm movements that the girl on the screen was doing. Gaining points.
"Five bucks On Kira" Leo said to Raph. Raph slapped a five into his brothers palm. "Your on, Lynn aint as cocky". Raphael said in defense. The game continued on until the first round was over.
"A tie" Kira said panting a little. "You pick the next song for round two". Kira told Lynn. Lynnette knew that Kira was the queen of hip hop so if she picked something that was different it would give her an edge. Kira smiled thinking she was going to win until . . .
"Baby got back?". Kira asked. . . "Try an keep up Kira" Lynn told her as the song started. Lynn was throwing out the moves the girl on the screen was doing. Kira never ever practiced with this song, so she had to improvise. Both girls laughed, and Kira laughed more out of frustration trying to keep up. "Whose keeping up with Whom now?" Lynnette asked putting her hand up to her ear to Kira, still dancing at the same time.
"My anaconda dont want none unless you got buns hun!" Lynnette and Kira sang together giggling. When the song ended Lynnette had one by 10 points. "That doesnt mean . . .anything" Kira said catching her breath, "We have one more round". Kira went through the song selection.
"Gimme that" By chris brown. This one Kira had practiced to, and Lynn knew it. They threw out the best moves they had. and when the song
"Come on Lynnie dont fall behind" Kira shouted over the music. Lynnette decided to pull more of a show than go for a win, she dropped down to the ground on her knees and bounced back up on her front arches. A move Kira tried to do but fell on her butt laughing. "Whose the show off now!" Kira asked. Lynnette helped her up, not really caring who won or not.
Mikey and Donitello were playing a driving race game. "Go! Left no right! MY LEFT!" Elisa shouted. Donitello laughed at her side game driving instructions. Gwen was cheering on Mikey. They were laughing so hard Gwen almost wet herself, bending over as Mikey and Donitello kept hitting eachother to throw the other one off. "Mikey thats Cheating!"
"NO its not, its helping. . .me!" Gwen held onto Elisa for support.
As the mortorcycle race game, where they were on actual motorcycles Raphael and Leonardo were in serious competition mode.
"Theyre so serious about this its scary" Kira.
"Yeah look at the concentration!" Lynnette said laughing waving her hand in front of Raphaels face which didn't even blink.
"When they get into it , they get into it". Lynn went over to the dance dance game and chose a song to play. "MMM Bop" By hanson. She and Kira sang to it, watching Leo and Raphael go at it in the racing game.
"You just crashed" Raphael said to Leo laughing.
"I'm back in" he said.
"Your losing, mr fearless leader" Raph said laughing somemore
"Not for long!" Leonardo said trying to pass Raphael in the game. He took a sharp turn avoiding a cow out in the middle of the road. Rapael didn't escape the same fate. Raphaels little motorcycle guy ran into the cow, fake blood splattered on the screen and a cows moo was playing with the words "YOU lose" covered in fake blood on the screen.
"WHO IN THE HELL PUTS A COW IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROAD, IN NEW YORK CITY!" Raphael shouted, making Lynnette bend over laughing. Kira laughed. "THIS IS CRAP!" he kept going. Lynnette could barely laugh. She patted him on the shoulder "its okay. . .its just a . . ." She couldn't stop laughing to finish. Raphael watched Lynnette hang on to the wall for support. "And now miss dance dance revolution is laughing in my face!" He said throwing his hands up. Kira joined Lynn laughin although Lynn was trying to stop.
"PIZZA FOR TABLE 2 Is READY!" Cashier guy shouted. They all walked over to the big booth. Elisa handed a piece to Donitello who gave her a thankyou back. Mikey smiled at Gwen "YOU got my Fave babe!" He said kissing her on the cheek. She giggled and grabbed a piece for herself. Lynnette looked at Raphael who was sitting against the booth not saying anything. Lynnette was trying not laugh. "It aint that funny" He said looking at her. She had to look away before laughing again. "I'm So thrilled this pleases you" He said making her laugh harder. She put a piece of pizza on his plate for him. "Dont be a sore loser, eat your pizza!" She said trying not to laugh anymore. he took a growly bite off of his, kind of amused . . .he got her to laugh.
"So whats next Gwen?" Elisa asked.
"Yeah we went shopping but the carnival isn't for another hour and a half". Kira asked looking at her watch. "I guess we just mess around until its time to go" Gwen guessed looking at Mikey. When they finished both boxes of supreme Pizza. They all walked around for a bit going into different stores.
"I'll be right back"Mikey said while Kira wanted to take pictures. Kira took a few with the girls and took some of the girls with the guys. She pulled Leo into a small hug around his neck with her right arm smiling "Smile!" She said. He gave a smile and then she snapped the photo letting go. "Thats a good one, I'll make prints for you". Leo nodded at this strange girl but smiled. This whole day was just. . .normal. It felt nice, taking a break.
Elisa saw something that made her whole world light up. She walked up to Doni. "Could you come with me a sec?" She asked. He nodded a 'sure'. He let her lead him. She pulled him into a picture booth. It was a touch screen so you could pick a themed background, and how many prints you wanted for the slides. and You had 5 seconds in between each shot. She chose a background of tiny yellow and purple peace signs. The Letters BFF was going on the top above the pictures.
"We have five seconds between each one , ready!" She asked. Doni nodded and smiled. She was sitting on his lap and they both looked at the camera smiling. For the first one they smiled a nice picture. The second one Elisa put bunny ears behind him so he did the same. The third one Elisa stuck her tongue out which made him laugh in the photo at her. The fourth they both were hugging and giving the peace sign. "Last one, make it count" Elisa said. Just as the number 2 then 1 came up. She leaned over and Kissed Donitello on the cheek making him freeze, and in the picture he blushed with a shy cracked smile. He couldn't contemplate what just happened, when she leapt off his lap to step out of the booth to retrieve the pictures. He got up slowly still smiling but trying not to show too much. She looked over the pictures laughing softly. Her laugh was cute. She gave him his slide of pictures. He smiled and put them in the bag of the book he got for her. "Where to next?" Elisa asked him. "I was kind of hoping to go look into the Computer store to see what they have". He offered as a suggestion. "Cool" she said smiling looping her arm around his, and they walked off to the computer store. both of them blushing like cherries.
"Hey guys, wheres Mikey?" Gwen asked. Lynnette and Raphael looked up from a discussion they were having. "I dont see him" Leonardo said scouting around. They all looked around the area, scanning when. . .
"Oh no. . ." Kira laughed putting a hand over her mouth.
"MIkey. . .you've got to be kidding me" Raphael said. Lynnette put her face into his arm laughing so hard she almost cried. Kira was hanging onto Lynnette. Some woman was escorting Mikey a hand on his shoulder. There was a pink lacey thong ontop of his beanie. Leonardo put a hand to his forehead.
"Is he yours?" The woman asked them.
"Unfortunetally Yes" Leonardo said trying to hide his face because he was secretly laughing. "That idiot would be. ..OUR Idiot" Raphael said making Lynn laugh harder, and Kira followed. Mikey Smiled sheepishly. Gwen took hold of mikey's arm to the lady would let go. "He was wearing one of our products on his head in the store, jumping out and scaring the customers, But he at least paid for the underwear". The woman explained.
"Were sorry mam we'll watch him more closely" Gwen said patting Mikey on the head. The woman walked away and Lynn snorted and Kira along with her. "heheh I think they're your size"Mikey said handing the thong to Gwen. She blushed and took them to put in her other bag. "Thanks Mikey but . . Pink isn't your color". Gwen said kissing him.
"He does something like this and he still doesnt get in trouble" Said Leonardo shaking his head.
"I know!" Raphael said with a laugh "But Gwen got free skinny's out of it" He added with a laugh. Lynnette Was laughing and she looked up down the hall she saw it. . .She pulled Raphael out of the group.
"Can I ask where ya draggin me to?" He asked.
"You'll see" She said not letting go of his hand.
They reached the picture booth (Ironically the one Elisa and Don used)
"Come on it'll be funny" She motioned for Raphael to sit next to her. He stood up and told her to get up. She got up and he pulled her onto his lap, which made her face get red. She put in the amount of change for two prints. She chose a theme, the color red for the background and the words "Double trouble" at the top. That made Raph laugh. They had 5 seconds between each picture. He gave her the bunny ears and she put a "rock on sign . The second one he grabbed her in a hold and gave her a noogie. She laughed trying to fix her hair. The third picture she pulled down the front of his hood for revenge and you could see him smiling under the hood. For the next one they were wrestling and laughing. He had her pinned up against he wall. with a smug devious smile on his face and Lynnette with a serious "i'm so gonna get you" look. The last photo while she was still pinned, she leaned out and kissed him on the cheek and the camera clicked. His face got really really red and he wasn't laughing like she was. She laughed at his expression and slipped from his grip, she got off his lap laughing "That ones a keeper" She said handing him his set of prints. He had a serious and . . .dazed look on his face when he took the prints from her. He wanted to laugh when he scrolled down the pictures. Lynnette laughed and her laugh sounded like . . .bells to him. he felt like he just got hit by a truck but . . .without the pain. He looked down at the last picture. His red face and her smiling one smoochin' his cheek.
"Oh yeah , thats a keeper" She said and they started to walk back. She put hers in one of her shopping bags and Raphael tucked his away in his hoodie pockett. They reached the others who all agreed it was time to get going.
"Off to the carnival! The Rides, the games, the FOOD!" Mikey said picking up Gwen to race out to the battle shell. She was squealing in laughter on the way out. "Do we really have to run?" Kira asked running after them. Leo smiled keeping up with her "Knowing mikey we should be sprinting". She laughed in return. Doni and Elisa Jogged after them running with shopping bags in each hand.
"What the heck, why do we have to run everywhere? what is it with you people and running!" Lynnette accused pointing at them shopping bags in the other hand. She yelped when Raphael picked her up over his shoulder and started running after them. "The faster we get there the faster we get to the roller coasters" he yelled back to her as a suggestion.
She looked up realizing THE RIDES. "TO THE ROLLER COASTER!" She pointed. He laughed catching up to donitello and Elisa. He let Lynnette down when he reached the truck and she got in the drivers seat.
"Jerk it Out: By Caesars" were playing and they both sang along to it. Not caring about the people watching them curiously. They followed the battle shell/moving truck heading towards the park and pier on the east side of Brooklyn.
