TMNT
Drugged
Author's note and disclaimer: I've never been on drugs or taken any pain medicine so I'm going off of what my mother has been like. I do not own TMNT.
By the end of the week Ashley was released from the dreaded hospital. Casey offered to drive since Oliver's car wasn't big enough for all four of them, plus the crutches. Ashley could feel how excited her friends were. Their big smiles and constantly watching her—gauging her mood—was starting to make her wonder how big this surprise was. It must be good if Mikey was able to keep his big trap shut.
After the elevator ride up to her Oliver's suite, April forced a bandana around Ashley's eyes and carefully had the injured girl take a sit in a wheelie chair. Casey rolled her through the house until the familiar sent of her room welcomed her home. Oliver stood from the bed, quickly closed the gap between them and slipped the blind fold off. The bright lights drowned her eyes, it took a few seconds for her to adjust. Once they did, however, Ashley lost her voice.
Her room was not her room. Her once white walls were an ocean blue contrasting the beige and plush floor. Her bed was moved to the corner with paper lantern lights bordering around the bed. Across from her laying quarters was a new black vanity stood next to her bathroom with her make-up and mail polish already arranged neatly on the surface. On the other side of her room was something she sorely needed. A dark hutch desk with her laptop and speakers already in place. Pictures of her family were pinned to the back. Tapped to the top edge of the desk was an expensive gift card to Amazon and a note from her uncle, "For office supplies". In the middle of the room was a kotastu table, a deep blue comforter with orange and white koi swimming in every direction laid underneath the wood. Matching blue pillows rested on every side and a white tea set was placed in the middle.
"Do you like it?" April asked watching as her friend's reaction went from complete shock to crying. "Is it too much?"
She nodded her head and then shook it—not completely sure how she felt about the new set up.
"But you like it, right?" Casey teased almost giggling at the sight of Ashley in happy tears.
This time she flipped Casey off for making fun of her—enticing everyone to laugh.
Oliver leaned down and hugged Ashley, "I thought it was about time to make you a permanent member of this house. And I have another surprise, I'll be going on less trips from now on, I'll go where they need me, but I'll be here. For you."
After the tears were dry and Ashley calmed down the pizza had arrived, more pizza than Oliver thought they needed. However, when he left to go finish up a story at the office, the turtles automatically appeared in Ashley's room. The boys began to devour the delicious pizza mercilessly. Ashley tried to get as comfortable as possible, but her pain pills were beginning to wear off. April left to go get her bag that carried all of her medicine.
"So can you only get up to go the bathroom?" Mikey asked, "Dude that sucks! Can I sign your crutches?"
Mikey was already signing her planks and doodling all over them before she could answer. April returned with the bag and a tall glass of water, Ashley gratefully took everything and swallowed her meds without hesitation. Within minutes Ashley was able to relax deep into her bed and feel as if she was high and drunk at the same time.
Casey nudged Raph in the ribs and motioned to Ashley as he held up his phone, "This is about to get hilarious."
The turtles looked confused for a moment until Donnie looked at the pills their friend had just taken. "Oh boy."
April took the glass of water away when Ashley finished drinking it. Ashley glared at her only female friend and started to giggle. "April, I don't know how to tell you this, but your hair…is on fire."
Leo, Mikey and Raph looked to their genius brother for an explanation. "The pain pills coupled with a muscle relaxer is causing Ashley to be extremely loopy."
"And it's only going to get better." Casey added as he scooted closer to Ashley and held up a peace sign and bobbed it along the edge of her bed.
Ashley's eyes went wide and her smile only grew. She shook April's arm and squealed, "Oh my god, look at the tiny bunny! It's so cute and…tiny. I want to set it on fire."
Casey immediately withdrew his hand with the brothers laughing behind him. Ashley glanced around her room and went very still.
"Why are there giant turtles in my room?" Ashley whispered.
"Those are the guys, Ashley." April sighed, "Remember? They're our friends."
Ashley blinked in silence for a few seconds, "Ooooooh."
The turtles laughed even harder, holding their sides and falling over. Mikey stood up, set up one of her lamps to where the light was reflecting on the wall and his shadow puppet show began. Ashley laughed, screamed or hid behind April. She threw a pillow at him, calling Mikey the devil and hid—face first—in another pillow. The muscle relaxer she had taken later were starting to make Ashley feel tired and soon she was starting to nod off.
The turtles took that as their sign to leave. Ashley waved at them lazily as the brothers went through the window. They heard Ashley call them Santa Goblins and a new fit of uncontrollable laughter broke out amongst the brothers. As soon as they were able to breathe properly, the brothers traveled home—slightly giggling at the night's memory. Master Splinter was still up and immediately the brothers informed him on Ashley's loopy behavior. The rat master was happy to hear that she was doing well and ordered the brothers to get some sleep after they recovered from their latest outburst.
