Hey There! This is another chapter!
Alas! I am not Eastman, nor am I Laird! So I do not own any of their genius works! :( All I've got are a couple of OC's .
And this one also has a couple of references to other things I do not own: Sherlock Holmes, The Big Bang Theory, and Office Depot.
(That sounds like the beginning of a corny joke)
Thanks again to all of my reviewers, you guys are the bright spots in my day that keep me writing!
Now, on with the chapter!
Dear Journal,
And I thought their lives sounded like a comic book already. So Oroku Saki is really a super-villain. Figures. I'd make fun of his name if it weren't for the situation. Okay, maybe I will anyways. The Shredder? Is he trying to take over Office Depot? Why not The Stapler?
I haven't done anything except work and school in three days. I even turned down a date. It was the hot guy who sits two rows ahead of me in physics too. Macie called me an idiot when she found out, but I just don't feel like going anywhere. Don promised he'd look as hard as he could. Where are you Max?
Dear Journal,
April dragged me against my will away from her washing machine to Donatello's birthday party. You know you're depressed when: you turn down a date to spend a perfectly good Friday night doing laundry. Unless you're Sheldon Cooper.
I thought that they were older. Guess you can kick butt at the age of fifteen (well, he's sixteen now. Happy B-Day Donnie).
We had to stop at Wal-Mart on the way so that I could get him a present. It's bad form to show up at a birthday party without a present. Technically, it was April picking a present and I just nodded and paid for it. I bought him some computer thingy that I have no idea of the function of, but it only cost fifteen dollars. I also bought him a mug that said 'genius' on it. That one was my idea. It seemed appropriate since one of my strongest memories of the night I met them besides being concussed and puking on Raph's feet, was that Don had a cup of coffee in his hand pretty much the entire time. I think he's addicted or something because he was able to stay awake until four in the morning with almost practiced ease. And I never saw that coffee mug empty.
The party was fun. Mikey made the food. It was really good for me to get out and do something. We sang. They have a different version of 'Happy birthday' it goes: "Happy Birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. You live in the sewers, and you smell like it too." Then they sing the normal version. There were candles and cake and ice-cream. Mikey designed a poster for a new party game: pin the throwing star on the Foot ninja. We all played. Only the real ninjas wore blindfolds (for obvious safety reasons). I still almost broke a lamp. Thank goodness for Leo's reflexes. It was still fun though, even though it ended in a fight (we should have been clear on scoring beforehand) so there was no real winner.
And of course there were presents. Leo gave him some Chinese firecrackers. He looked really happy to see those. A little too happy. Mikey gave him some really good coffee blend. Yup, definitely an addict. He practically started drooling. Raph gave him some mechanical stuff that I am not knowledgeable about, but went over well. April gave him a bunch of computer stuff. No clue what the function is, but he seemed happy. He liked my present. Which is good since I have no idea what the heck I gave him. He got a real kick out of the mug. Splinter gave him a book he'd found on feudal Japan. It looked thick enough to be a dictionary. That was the best present. His eyes jut lit up when he opened it.
This guy named Casey showed up half-way through the party, ate three pieces of cake, gave Donny a bag of M&M's and a half-busted obsolete walk-man, and tripped over a chair and broke it. I am confused as to how this klutz knows them. He didn't even notice I was in the room, which is okay. I'm used to it. I'm a very ignorable person. That scene from that movie Princess Diaries where a guy accidentally sits on the girl. Yeah, that's happened to me. More than once.
So, after food and presents and almost breaking stuff we all watched Sherlock Holmes. They hadn't seen it yet. I saw it with Macie and Steph when it was in theaters, but it's good so I didn't mind seeing it again.
Donnie had it figured out by the end. Mikey was asleep and muttering something about 'Turtle Titan', also drooling. Raph and Casey got up and left halfway through. I think they got in an argument and wanted to 'settle it'. And Leo thought that it was totally weird that the hero was in love with a criminal. Raph had come back in time to catch the ending and we all ganged up on him for that. Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler are supposed to wind up together! I mean, they're the only people in the world equal to each other! Their being on opposite sides of the law is just a complication. He says that he'd never fall for an enemy. Raph came back with "Oh come on. You can't be tellin' me that if you had to fight some katana weildin' babe you wouldn't be at least thinkin' 'Hey, she's hot'?" Leo says that he'd only think that if she was an honorable opponent, but that he'd probably be more focused on beating her. Raph was just like "Yeah, riiiiight." Don ended the conversation with "Come on, what are the odds of that ever happening?"
When it was time to head home I pulled Raph aside. It was really awkward, but I had to apologize for barfing on him. I gave him a Foo Fighters CD as a peace offering.
I am forgiven. But I get the feeling that he'd be laughing the hardest if something of a similar nature happened to me.
As I was leaving Mikey woke up. I wonder how long it'll take him to figure out that Raph wrote 'Dork' on his face. From what I hear it's payback. Mikey put blue food coloring in the shower head a week ago.
Dear Journal,
Huge Civ test today. Gaaah! I didn't study! Oh, yeah. Birthday party.
Why am writing when I should be studying! Gaaaaah!
-Later
Well, that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Who knew that cramming would actually work? The guys ordered pizza again today. I had to go deliver it. They were surprised to see me for some reason. Dude, I work at your pizza place. I'm going to deliver to you every now and then.
I saw the hockey mask guy again on his motorcycle. I can't put my finger on it, but there's something kinda familiar about him…
Steph and Jesse have been trying to get me to go paintballing with a bunch of their other friends. They've been nagging me about it all week. I keep saying no. I'm not fond of bruises, thank you.
Well, what did you think?
R&R or I'll sic the plot bunnies on you! Muahahahaha- *cough* *gag* just review okay!
