Meeting Others

Two days later, my mother and I walked out of our apartment, leaving to go and do some errands. As we were walking down the hall to the elevator, the door to room 221 b opened and out came the new neighbor who looked ready to go out as well. My mom stopped and said, "Oh, you must be Hamato Yoshi, the new neighbor am I right?" I rolled my eyes and tried to hide myself under the hood of my sweater.

Hamato pretended not to notice my discomfort and he looked at my mother, saying, "Yes I am. You must be Callaby's mother." He held out a hand for her to shake.

My mom shook his hand but her eyes widened when she noticed the strong muscles of his arms. "Oh my…."

Splinter blinked and looked down at where she was looking and realized what she meant. I was startled by my mom's reaction and pulled down the string of my hoddie, trying to hide my face. Through the little peep hole of my sweater, I said, "Mom, please-"

"Oh, I'm sorry I'm just not used to seeing….strong men….like you around."

"Mom!" She finally heard me and turned to see my face turning red in embarrassment. "Please mom, haven't you seen the many police men that come to officer Alecks apartment to pay a visit."

"Oh, well that too." I face palmed as mom continued to talk, "Well, I would like to invite you to dinner sometime if you want. Just tell me when you are free and I'll see what I can do."

I waved my arms behind her trying to tell Hamato to say no but of course, since Hamato was raised better than that he said, "I gladly accept your invitation."

"Oh, perfect! Oh and if you ever want you can drop by Jersey's Diner if you ever want to grab a bite. You can tell me there your schedule."

"Well whenever you are not busy, I can come over. I don't really have a busy schedule this month."

"Oh, well then how about next week. How does that sound?"

"It sounds perfect."

"Good, ok Callaby let's get going." She walked past Hamato and walked to the room that had the elevators, as if a normal conversation happened.

I stayed behind and said to Hamato, "I'm really sorry about my mom, she can be a little open to her opinions and have a really big reaction to things."

"I guess she has not met many people like me."

"If you're saying you're different looking, well, I have to say you're not. You're normal, I wish I was, too."

"Callaby!"

"Coming Mom!" I ran past Hamato, "By the way, Hamato, and don't be afraid to say you don't want to come over. My mom's cooking isn't that great, just to warn you." Then I ran towards where mom went, leaving Hamato in the hall to think about what I said.

)))))))))))))))))))))))2012((((((((((((((((((((((

The turtles hadn't stopped laughing since Callaby had told about her mom's reaction to Splinter's muscles. Callaby just sat there smiling in embarrassment and Splinter just smiled sheepishly. Then he said, "All right my son's, all right. Settle down."

When their laughing turned into light and muffled chuckles, Callaby said, "I know, my mom could not keep her mouth shut. But it's true, and I can say now that I'm older, your muscles were big Hamato."

"No…" He said, "I was flimsy back then, I didn't do as much practice as I've been doing now."

"Well it looked like you never stopped training. I mean even through your fur I still saw them somehow."

"Really?" He pulled up his sleeve revealing his whole back arm which was not wrapped in white wrapping unlike the front part of his arm. Through his fur though there was a slight view of muscle tone that the boys hadn't really noticed before until now. He always wore his robe, at least that's how the turtles had always seen him in. They never really saw what was under all that read cloth. Their thoughts were interrupted when Splinter pulled his sleeve down and looked at Callaby with a smile, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, Pfft!" Callaby playfully punched Splinter in the arm and looked at the boys. "Well, let's see, what happened-Oh! Loch Ness!

"Loch Ness? You mean the monster of myth in Scotland." Donnie asked.

"Yep, that's what I named my pet snake, even though he's male."

"That reminds me, how is that little friend of yours?" Asked Splinter.

"He's still alive. 25 years old and still a sweet heart."

"Impressive, strong fellow he is."

Raph asked, "Why name your nice snake after a monster?"

"Why name your pet turtle after a feature he doesn't even have?"

"Touché." Raph said.

"Anyway, so a few days later I was getting ready to go out for a walk with Loch Ness….

))))))))))))))))))))))))))) 1997(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

I walked up to the tank in the room where my pet snake was. I noticed he was moving around and itching for a little bit of fresh air from out of his tank. I lifted an eyebrow and said, "What's the matter, Loch Ness, I put in fresh green leaves and twigs yesterday. You have fresh water and I just fed you an hour ago." The snake seemed to respond by knocking his face into the glass and sticking its tongue out. "Ok fine. How about a little stroll around the park, sound good?" Loch Ness kept banging his head against the glass. "I'll take that as a yes." I opened the net covering of the tank slowly as to not scare my reptilian companion. I put my hand a little ways in front of his face and waited. Loch Ness slowly moved towards my hand and climbed up, knowing this meant we were going on our daily walk.

Once he had safely crawled up my arm and wrapped himself around it, I slowly walked out of my room and into the living area. Across the room, my mom was at the kitchen baking something so I snuck up behind her and said, "Hey mom!"

Mom turned slowly away from the stove and said, "Callaby don't-" She was met by a green, scaly face. She yelped and almost fell back but the handle of the oven kept her from falling. She said, "Callaby, what did I say about putting the creepy face of Loch Ness in front of mine?"

"Oh, but he's not creepy." I slowly moved my hand up that had Loch wrapped around me and I moved him so that his head that was hanging down was eye level with my face. I put an innocent smile on and said, "See, he's just trying to be friendly."

My mom kept her straight poster but her eyes moved to look at Loch Ness and the snake just stuck out his tongue, nothing else moved but that. Mrs. Makon rolled her eyes and asked, "Are you going out?"

"Yep." I walked out of the kitchen, passed the small living room and to the door. I stopped in front of it and then unwrapped Loch from his grip of my hand then placed him around my neck. When I felt he was secure and safe, I then bent down to pick up my board that was leaning on a wall. With my free hand I opened it and said, "Bye mom!" Then closed the door behind me.

)))))))))))))))))))))1997(((((((((((((((((((((((((

An hour later, I was at central park in the afternoon. I could have been there faster but I had to skate on steady ground and slowly as to not spook the poor snake around my neck. I skateboarded through the gates and down the small road that lead through the trees and past the abandoned little cottage. Then I got to my favorite spot in the whole park, the Statue of Balto. About two years ago, the animated film came out and I just fell in love with it. Sure the plot was made up for little kids to enjoy it and sure some of the characters never even existed, but the idea that a half wolf can be the lead of a mushing group of husky's. Especially since Balto had been shunned at first by humans but he found a way to prove himself by saving the children of Nome, Alaska.

I stopped riding and I stepped on one end of my skateboard so that it would kick up for me to catch. Then I left it leaning against the rock where the statue of the wolf dog was built upon. I looked around and made sure no one was around to see me do what I was going to do. Seeing only a few people far off into the next fork in the road, I climbed up the rock and then stood next to the statue. I grabbed Loch Ness from out from around my neck and let him wrap around one arm again. Then with the other, I held the metal flank of Balto and sat down and leaned against his front leg. I then let my snake down and let him slither up his favorite tree that was growing next to the rock. It was actually a yearling oak tree, it was only 4 feet tall, but Loch didn't care because he just loved to climb.

I smiled and looked up at the sun that was high in the sky. The rays of the shinning sun blasted through the leaves hanging from branches that grew over the statue and hid it under shade. I closed my eyes and breathed in the air. Even though there was still the hint of smog in the air, it was definitely fresher here than anywhere else. With all the trees giving out clean oxygen, I could just stay laying there for hours. Then I heard someone yell, "SNAKE!" I opened my eyes and I looked down at the rock seeing a little girl in a small pink dress and her black hair in pig tails. She was pointing a shaking finger behind me to where Loch Ness was on his little tree.

I smiled, "Don't worry honey, he won't bite." I stood up and walked over to my snake, picking him gently off from his small yearling oak. I let him wrap around my arm as I used my other hand to climb down the rock slowly. When I made it down, I went up to the little black haired girl who stepped away seeing the snake on my arm. "Come here, he won't hurt you unless you hurt him. But I know a sweat little girl like you wouldn't hurt him, right?" She nodded her head in agreement, "See, so Loch Ness here won't hurt you." I kneeled down and motioned for the girl to come closer. She heisted a little but took a couple of brave steps forward until she was only a foot away from my out stretched hand. I smiled and said, "Good girl. Now, just come over to my side." The girl did what she was told and stood next to my side that didn't have the snake. I chuckled and asked, "What's your name?"

"Jacqueline"

"Well then Jacqueline, here's what we're going to do. I'm going slowly move Loch Ness, the snake, to you and all you have to do is gently reach out your hand and pet him with two fingers. The more gentle you pet him, the more he'll like you."

"Really?"

"Guarantee it." I slowly moved my hand to her and Jacqueline slowly reached her hand out and just as she was about to pet it, someone from far away yelled out, "Jacqueline!" I turned and my face almost turned white in fright. Coming towards me with anger in her face was none other than Hannah, "Jac's, what did I tell you- huh? You!" She pointed at me, "What are you doing with my sister?" She stood towering over me know that I was kneeled eye level with Jacqueline.

"I didn't know she was your sister, I didn't even know you had one."

"Well now you know. What. Is. That?" Hannah pointed at the slithering creature around my arm.

"Oh, this is my pet snake, Loch Ness."

"Well, I'm not surprised you have the most deadly creature as a pet Wallaby."

Jacqueline eyes narrowed and she said, "He's not deadly, he's the nicest snake I have ever known."

"And the only one you will ever know." Hannah reached across and pulled on her sister's arm and away from me, "Don't believe what Wallaby told you, she's not normal."

I stood up and watched as Hannah pulled Jacqueline away from me and started to march out to the treeless part of the park. Jacqueline looked back at me as I turned away to get my skateboard. Jacs tried to pull away from her sister's grip but the older girl was stronger so all Jacqueline could do was look back at me.

As their figures got smaller in the distance, I looked down at Loch Ness in sadness. I petted Loch Ness as I made my way to my skateboard, "I guess no one wants to be with us, especially me?" The snake just stuck out his tongue.

A.N: Someone recently asked me what it would be like to see Splinter without cloths and then a friend of mine said, "It be very muscly for sure." I couldn't resist putting that in here. Also, I watched Balto the other day and I couldn't help but feel I could have it relate to this story, because character development is almost the same in this story. I'm KikaKatTIOI, peace out!
