I'm back, everyone. Sorry for the wait. I got writers block, found this A-Z challenge and stuff. But, here I am again. Hopefully some good, what's it called, Raphona? Whatever, RaphxMonaLisa stuff in this chapter.
As they walked down a hall and back into the living room (since she decided that that was what it was), Mona Lisa soon found herself in front of a familiar door. "This is your lab?" she asked Donnie.
"Yup" he replied as they entered the room. She found herself in the same room that she had peeked into that morning. "Sit down by my desk. I'll go get the bandages" said Donnie as he walked back out of the door. So, Mona Lisa took a seat in a wheely desk chair, wondering for a moment how in the world Donatello could have gotten one. She thought of a few theories while shifting around and trying to get in a comfortable position where she wasn't sitting on her tail; just killing time and keeping occupied before Donnie got back.
"Alright, let's see about you" he said as he walked back into the lab, bandages and antibiotic cream in hand. Donnie knelt/squatted near her, putting cream on all of the really bad looking cuts. There was a brief moment of quiet as Donnie worked; Mona Lisa kept quiet, not really thinking of anything to say.
As he started to wrap the bandage around her arm, Donnie looked up at her and asked, "So, what were you going to say before in the kitchen?"
"What do you mean?"
"Master Splinter seemed to think that there was something else bothering you, then you started saying what it was when April came in. So, what was it? If you don't mind, that is".
"Well…" she started uncertainly, "It's not really a big deal… It's just that with this amnesia thing, I feel like I'm forgetting something really important. And I mean really important. Like, there's something I should tell you guys about the Kraang."
"Oh." Donnie fell silent, thinking about what Mon Lisa had just said. "Well, maybe we could help you remember, somehow. This sort of thing has happened before. Well, sort of." With that, Donnie finished wrapping up her arms, setting the roll of bandages onto the nearby desk. "There you go, all wrapped up. You live here now, I suppose, so make yourself at home."
She smiled. "Thanks, Donnie". She hopped off the chair, and went out into the family room. Everyone else apparently was done with breakfast, and was sitting around the room. Leo and Mikey were watching something on TV, with Leo quoting the show every now and then, April was sitting nearby, typing something on her laptop, and Raph was nowhere to be seen.
"Hey, Mona" said Mikey from where he was sitting on the sunken bench things in the middle. "You doing ok?" he asked. She wanted to say: for being kidnapped by alien robots, getting turned into a mutant lizard, and losing everything I had to live underground with a bunch of other mutants, I'm fine. But instead she just said the typical, "I'm fine". She looked around the room, considering sitting down and talking with everyone else, but she really didn't feel like talking right now. "So, um, where's Raph?"
Mikey shrugged. "I don't know. But he's probably in the dojo, or in the kitchen talking to Spike."
"Spike? Who's Spike?"
"Raph's pet turtle. He talks to him all the time, and it's so adorable. But don't tell Raph that, he hates it when I tell him that."
"Noted. Thanks Mikey." Mona Lisa headed to the kitchen, hoping to catch Raph there. She didn't know why. She just wanted to see him for some reason. When she got to the curtains that lead to the kitchen, she stopped right outside the door when she heard Raph talking to someone. He must be talking to Spike. She didn't want to barge in on him, so she stood by the entrance, eavesdropping just a little bit. Well, in her mind she was waiting until he was done talking to walk in, but it was really eavesdropping.
"So, Spike, what do you think of this Mona Lisa girl? I don't know. She seems nice, it sucks that all of this stuff happened to her, all because of those stupid Kraang." Here Raph grumbled various insults and threats to the Kraang. Mona Lisa couldn't hear most of them, but Raph sounded pretty mad. "What is it about this girl, Spike? Why does she make me feel, I don't know, weird? Yuck. If this is what I think it is…I mean, what if… I don't want to start acting like Donnie or something. Everybody, including me, makes fun of him constantly for the way he acts around April." Mona Lisa slowly backed away from the kitchen. She obviously wasn't supposed to hear that. Was he talking about…being in love with her?
She walked back into the living room, shaking her head and trying to clear it of the conversation that she just heard. "Hey, Mona Lisa" said Leo this time, show apparently on commercial. Seeing her slightly shaken expression, he added, "Are you ok?" She wanted to say, not really, since I think Raphael, the mutant turtle who barely talks to me, is in love with me, and I have no idea what I think about that. But instead, she just said, "I'm not sure".
So, tell me what you thought about that. This is my first time writing a pairing that isn't Apritello, so I'm not really sure if I did ok or not. There are probably only going to be 3 or so more chapters, just to let you know. I finally have the ending worked out. Until next chapter!
