So sadly I had to delete the original Chapter 10, which is the reason it took like two days for me to update. Things have been going on and I needed a break though. So cookies and pie to anyone who notices the TV show TMNT refrence in here. Also Scarlett is going to sing the English version of the Madoka Magica / Magica Madoka theme song in here, so I'll give you a prize if you find it. And i wanted to put Julius Caesar in here, mainly cause today I read it in school and (spoiler alert) Julius Caesar died. But also (SPOILERS) in shakespeare tragedies, everyone dies in the end. Well that's life, anyways enjoy.
When I woke up, it had all been like I said. My "parents" disappeared and left me alone. It's funny, I felt as if there was something important I needed to remember about me dream, but I forgot it.
When I woke up, I saw Zoey sitting on the couch, I wanted to join her and laugh and comment on the things we saw on TV.
I felt alone standing there.
I didn't like the feeling, so I knew what I had to do.
"I'm sorry." I said.
Zoey turned to face me.
"What?" She said
"I'm sorry!" I cried out, and I hugged her, crying. "I'm sorry I called you a jerk."
She smiled, and cried just the tiniest bit.
"I'm sorry I bugged you so much" I said.
We both hugged each other.
"I'm sorry that something so stupid made us fight" I said. Then I wiped away my tears. And smiled, Zoey did the same. "Let's be friends again." I said. Zoey nodded.
And so we both watched TV for what seemed like hours. We laughed and commented on shows, it felt like old times.
It was the weekend, we didn't go to school that day.
We both stayed home for an entire day, being good friends once again.
The next day, Sunday, was a little different though.
Zoey wanted to work at the lab. She asked me if I wanted to go with her, but I politely said no. I wanted to go see the turtles again. She grabbed a waffle and took off, running to the lab. We had one in every state, well except for Alaska.
Zoey was interested in anything deadly, Venus fly traps, poision, etc.
It never bothered me.
I thought those things made Zoey intresting.
Today she wanted to see if it was possible for chocolate milk to be an explosive, which we had seen on a show. I told her "probably not" but she left for the lab anyways.
So I walked to the lair and brought a pizza.
The first thing I heard when I had walked in was, "Take that! BOOYAKASHA!" Mikey was yelling.
'Booyakasha?' I thought, that's a weird thing to say.
"Hello" I said to Mikey, who was currently playing Legend of zelda.
"Hey Scarlett. " He said
He probably smelled the pizza that I was holding because he started to argue with himself.
"I must eat pizza!" He said. "But can't stop playing!"
I laughed for a second, then I handed him a slice of pizza.
He gobbled it up and chewed as he continued playing.
Leo came and sat behind us. "Hello!" I said to him.
"Hi Scarlett. " He said
"How long has Mikey been playing? " I asked "He seemed pretty hungry when I got here."
Raph walked in and answered for Leo, "Oh he's been like that ever since you left a day ago. It's starting to freak me out actually."
"Oh my gosh..." I said and looked at Mikey. This wasn't healthy for him. "Maybe you should take a break." I said to him.
"I can do that?" He asked.
I nodded.
So I showed him how to save and quit. And he finally got some rest.
"The game seems to never end!" He cried out "every time I think I'm close to the end, I'm not! It's nothing at all like Portal. Also, why is it called the Legend of Zelda if Link is more or less the main character? "
I shrugged "I dunno" I said "The guy who made it liked Zelda Fitzgerald ' s name and named the princess that. I searched it up once, but I don't know why it's named after her."
"Let's do something else." Said Mikey, rummaging through the box.
I found my toy microphone in there.
"I remember this!" I said. "I used to pretend I was a pop star with this microphone. "
I lifted it up to my lips and sang one of my favorite songs.
"Every time I stop, and stumble, in doubt and darkness, I close my eyes and think back to you, we made a vow, a promise to carry onward, I'll see it through.
"When I was young, the sky shone clear and bright and blue and I smiled through every day knowing that all my dreams would come true, now that I've grown, the sky fades dark and dissappears, and the future I once dreamed dissolves before my doubts and fears, then you came to me, took me by the hand, and the strength you shared helped me to rise and stand, let the clocks tick by, let the days fade away, cause I've found the path my heart will walk today!
AND NOW MY HEART'S ALIVE, AND RACING TOWARDS THE FUTURE, THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT COULD DARE HOLD ME BACK. IM GONNA FLY ON FOWARD INTO THAT BLUE SKY, BOUNDLESS AND BRIGHT, I STILL PRAY AND HOPE THAT ONE DAY WE'LL BE TOGETHER, I'LL FIGHT ON WARD AND MEET YOU AGAIN MY FRIEND, I WONT STOP UNTIL THE END! I WONT GIVE IN! "
when I opened my eyes, everyone was starting at me.
"What? " I asked
"Um...nothing" said Raph.
Mikey was done rummaging through the box.
"Let's play this one!" He said holding up 'Wipeout'.
I put the game into the console and Mikey and I played together, laughing our guts out. Leo and Raph sat nearby and I could hear them laughing along with us.
We played for a long time. But as it got late, I knew I had to go home.
I said goodbye to everyone.
I didn't find Donnie anywhere, so I didn't say bye to him. And i walked home alone.
Getting home, Zoey showed me what she had been working on in the lab. It was a poison - like chemical, but it wasn't deadly, it just gave people hallucinations and made them dizzy.
Zoey was a little upset that the poison wasn't deadly, but she wasn't too upset.
At that moment, I wished that she could meet the turtles.
I really wanted her to meet them, Zoey was a little bit like everyone, she was easy to get along with. I wanted her to get along with the turtles, but I knew it would probably never happen.
The turtles were supposed to be a secret.
I spent a little time alone in my room and texted April, who told me that she had mailed her package to the Worldwide Genome Project.
April didn't normally have lots of things to say.
When the conversation ended, Zoey and I had dinner and watched a movie, then afterwards acted out a scene from Julius Caesar (the one where Caesar died obviously) when we finished, she said I was like Brutus and that she was like Cassius (both characters from the play) but she never told me why, and to this day, I don't know what she meant.
When we were sleepy, we slept in the living room for some reason.
It was the most fun we had had in a long time.
I was glad that we had forgiven each other, because I hated fighting.
In the morning, it was back to school.
I walked to school with Zoey.
"I feel bad that we don't have the same classes." I said
"Well it's ok." Said Zoey "We see each other every day, but I also kinda want us in the same classes."
We saw Zac at the front of the building.
"Oh great!" I said "it's him"
"Well if it isn't your boyfriend. " Said Zoey
"He's not my boyfriend. " I said "He's not even my friend"
"So you say." Said Zoey.
I laughed.
"It's true!" I said
We walked up to Zac, I ignored him, but he grabbed my hand.
When Zoey noticed this, she smiled. And ran to the elevator.
She mouthed to me 'good luck!' She winked and gave me a thumbs up.
"Hey!" I yelled "Don't leave me here alone!"
Zac held my hand really tightly. He was really strong and didn't let go of me.
"Let go!" I told him.
He just looked me in the eye.
"I know that you've been going to their lair." He said to me
"W-what do you mean?" I stuttered.
"I'm not sure who you're meeting, but I know that you've been going to their lair." He said "The lair of my enemies. "
I hesitated. "So what?" I said "you can't prove it."
"There's a GPS signal on your phone." He said with a smile. "I know where you've been."
"Gosh that's creepy!" I said "don't you have anything better to do!?"
"You're just lucky that your signal somehow dissappears right when I figure out where you've been" He said "but I will find out."
My eyes opened wide. I tugged really hard, and he finally let go of my hand.
My bracelet broke off in the process. I tried to grab it, but Zac was fast and grabbed it quicker than me.
"What's this?" He asked
"Give it back! " I yelled. "it's mine and it's very important!"
He looked at it closely. The bracelet used to be a key necklace but now it was too small to be one, now it was a key bracelet. He studied the design carefully.
"I've seen this somewhere before." He muttered.
"GIVE IT BACK!" I yelled on the verge of tears. That necklace was important.
That necklace was all I had left of my parents who had left me all that time ago.
I reached for it.
Zac tried to keep it out of my reach.
Our faces got so close, that they were only inches away from each other.
I had finally grabbed the bracelet by now though. And quickly pulled away from him.
At first I freaked out a little, but then I stared at him with a angry look on my face. "We are enemies." I said to him. "And I hate you."
Then I turned and ran away from him.
Why was my heart beating so fast?
I clutched my bracelet close to my heart.
The turtles were in danger.
What could I do?
Well for one I had to do something to my phone.
I took it our of my back pack.
I stared at it.
It was a red phone case, with yellow and blue stars, pink hearts, and a bunny accessory.
I loved that phone so much. I probably couldn't live without it. But because of this phone, the very existence of the people I had promised to keep a secret was in danger.
"Sorry! " I said to it. And i smashed it. You have no idea how much it hurt to do that.
"My phone." I said "my beautiful phone."
I smashed it in the hallway and passing people stared at me like I was crazy.
When it was over, I felt so empty inside.
"My phone!" I screamed!
I just hoped I would be thanked later.
Because what I did cost me a new phone.
So school passed and I was still mourning over my phone.
I went to the lair and I just wanted to tell the others about what I did, but they weren't there.
So I played some videogames, and watched some TV, sang a little, read shakespeare out loud to no one but myself, until they finally came, April came with them too.
"Where were you guys!?" I asked them
"Um battling a robot grandma" said Mikey as if it was obvious.
"I tried to call you" said April "But you didn't answer, so I called these guys to help me."
I cried inwardly. "Guys..." I said "I need to tell you something. "
"We have to tell you something too." Said April.
So we swapped stories.
Mikey, April, Leo, Raph, and Donnie told me that April had went to school that day and that there was a woman who said she was from the Worldwide Genome Project and was there to show April her DNA results. Apparently she spoke really weird and didn't let April leave when April had tried to leave.
The lady (who turned out to be a robot) had chased April around the school.
April hid in a locker and called me, but I didn't answer, so she called the turtles for help.
They gave me the details on their fight.
Like how Leo (who was trying to say a cool catchphrase like on the TV shows) said a really stupid catchphrase.
The way that Mikey was amazed at what school had. He told me about how surprised he was to figure out school had water fountains.
Raph screamed like a girl when Mikey had scared him and Raph beat him up.
Donnie...well he was more of the strong, silent type.
When they finished their story I couldn't belive I had missed all that.
"I broke my phone!" I explained. And i told them about what happened to me that day, even everything about Zac.
At the end of my story, they thanked me for trying to keep them a secret.
"You owe me a new phone." I said, I was mourning the loss of my beloved phone.
"Yeah we do." Said Donnie. And with a smile ran to a room. He came out with a shell - looking thingy.
He handed it to me.
"What's this?" I asked
"Your new T-Phone!" Said Donnie excitedly
"Everyone on our group has one." Said Leo
Everyone held theirs up.
Even April had one.
"Does this mean...?" I asked
"Yeah." Said Leo "You've proved today that you have what it takes to try and protect us. This is our thank you."
I smiled and almost cried. "Thanks so much!" I said.
Mikey looked over my shoulder.
"Just don't say 'T-Phone self- destruct' to it." He said
Immediately, the phone in my hands vibrated and exploded.
I stood there in shock.
"Woops!" Said Mikey "I forgot about that."
"Mikey..." I started. Then I chased him around the room "THAT WAS MY SECOND PHONE! YOU DESTROYED IT!" I screamed at him as I chased him.
Everyone stared at us.
"I have a bunch of spares." Said Donnie. "She could have one of those."
"But this is way too entertaining!" Said Raph. "It's hilarious to see someone other than me beat up mikey!"
The others agreed and laughed.
"YOU'RE GOING TO STOP RUNNING EVENTUALLY!" I screamed to Mikey "AND WHEN YOU DO, I'LL GET YOU!"
That's it for now guys. I'm sleepy and hot. WHY IS MY ROOM HOT!? I don't know why. Wow I know how you feel ColorlessRainbow. I'm going to go complain to my parents right now. Anyways...This is getting awkward...yeah I'm just gonna go now. Aideu!
