Chapter 11

Makayla was nervous about the big pom pon competition. Morgan was nervous too. They have never been in a competition before. They were worried about screwing up and having the entire team laughing at them. So Makayla went to talk to Amber.

Makayla says, " So, Amber, when is this big competition?"

Amber says, " The competition is in 3 weeks."

Makayla says, " Are you sure our team will be ready by then?"

Amber says, " Of course, Makayla! I just know that our team is going to win that competition!"

Makayla awkwardly says, " Yeah, you're probably right, Amber."

Amber says, " What's wrong, Makayla?"

Makayla says, " I don't know, Amber, it's just that I'm nervous and well I'm afraid that I'll screw up."

Amber says, " Don't worry, Makayla, you'll be fine."

Makayla says, " You really think so?"

Amber says, " Of course." and walks away. Julia walks up behind Makayla and says, " Yeah, Makayla, you have nothing to worry about because I've got your back."

Makayla says, " Really? Thanks, Julia."

Julia says, " Hey, no problem, that's what new friends and teammates are for."

Makayla says, " Hey, I've got an idea, Julia. Do you want to come over for a sleepover tonight?"

Julia says, " Sure, I would totally love that, Makayla!"

Makayla says, " Okay. And Morgan do you want to come over too?"

Morgan says, " Are you kidding me?! Yes, I would love to!"

Makayla says, " Okay, just let me ask my father first."

Morgan and Julia say, " Okay, Makayla." After pom pon practice, the girls went home. Makayla walked into Master Splinter's room to talk to him.

Makayla says, " Master Splinter, I wanted to ask you something."

Master Splinter says, " What is it, my daughter?"

Makayla says, " Can I have two friends stay the night?"

Master Splinter says, " Yes, you may, Makayla."

Makayla says, " Thank you, sensei." Makayla called Morgan and Julia and told them that it was okay for them to come over. At 7:30 pm, Morgan and Julia arrived at the lair.

Julia says, " Hi, Makayla!"

Morgan says, " Hi, Makayla!"

Makayla says, " Hi, you guys!"

Julia says, " Where can we put our stuff?"

Makayla says, " You can put your stuff in my room." Morgan and Julia carried their stuff up to Makayla's room. Then, Morgan chased Julia down the stairs and Julia was laughing. Master Splinter walks in, saw Morgan coming down the stairs after Julia and said, " Well hello, Morgan."

Morgan says, " Hi, Master Splinter." Master Splinter looks at Julia and says, " And who is this?"

Makayla says, " Oh, Master Splinter, this is our new friend, Julia Hathaway."

Master Splinter says, " Well, nice to meet you, Julia."

Makayla says to Julia, " And Julia, this is my father and sensei, Master Splinter."

Julia says, " Hi, nice to meet you."

Makayla says, " So, now let's do something."

Julia says, " Okay." The three girls turned on some music and started dancing around.

Makayla sang, " We're flying first class! Up in the sky! Poppin' champaigne! Livin' my life from the fastlane! And I won't change for the glamorous! Oh the flawse, flawse! The glamorous,the glamorous, glamorous, for the glamorous! Oh flawsey, flawsey! The glamorous, the glamorous, glamorous, for the glamorous! Oh flawsey, flawsey!" Morgan and Julia joined in with her singing the words to the song. Leonardo walks in and says, " Seriously, Makayla, what is your fascination with this song?"

Makayla says, " It's a catchey song, Leo! I like it!"

Leonardo says, " Yeah, but I don't get it. What is the meaning of the song?"

Makayla says, " Leo, the song explains what people get when they become rich and famous!"

Leonardo says, " Really, Makayla?"

Makayla says, " Yes! That's what it means, Leo!"

Leonardo says, " Okay, but one question. How did that song go again?" Makayla sighed and then she started saying the lyrics, Leonardo copied her words and they were saying them to each other face to face.

Leonardo says, " Oh, so that's how that song goes."

Makayla says, " Yeah, that's how it goes. And it sounds much better if you sing it!"

Leonardo says, " Are you crazy, Makayla?! I am not singing in front of your friends!"
