Chapter 14 already?! Wow. Well Anyways, I want you guys to enjoy this one and make sure to review because it took forever to make this!
"Hya!" Yelled Raph as he attacked Mikey.
Mikey dodged his attack. "BOOYAKASHA! " He yelled as he swung his nunchucks at him.
"Go Mikey!" Yelled Zoey and Donnie.
"Get him Raph!" Yelled Leo and April.
Everyone was in the dojo and the turtles were practicing.
"C'mon!" I yelled "But some back into it!"
Everyone stared at me.
Zoey faceplalmed.
"What?" I asked. Everyone just looked away.
"This is so cool!" I said to Leo, who sat next to me. "You guys do this every day?"
"Yeah." Said Leo "It's important to practice, that way we can all get better."
I nodded "Practice makes Perfect!" I said and smiled.
Raph pinned down Mikey.
"C'mon!" Said Raph "Say it!"
"'Raph is better fighter than me'." Said Mikey desperately.
"And?" Said Raph and tightened his grip.
"'Raph is way awesome than me!' Ow! 'Handsom-er too!'" Said Mikey even more desperately.
"And?" Asked Raph
Mikey could barely talk.
"Um shouldn't we do something?" I asked Leo.
"Hey!" Yelled Leo "Break it up already!"
"Yeah!" I said "You can really hurt him!"
"Aw!" Said Raph as he let go of Mikey. "C'mon! It's not like I was going to actually hurt him!"
I frowned at him.
"Fine! I get it!" He said.
I pointed at Mikey. "Say sorry!" I said to Raph.
"I said I was-"
"Now!" I yelled, not letting Raph finish.
"It's okay Scarlett." Said Mikey, who put his hand on my shoulder. He smiled. "I've survived worse."
"Okay." I said.
Splinter seemed to come out of nowhere. "Good job everyone." He said
I smiled. I liked Master Splinter, he was very wise and nice. I liked that in a person.
"I'm hungry." Said Zoey
I got the hint. "Alright!" I said "I'll make sandwiches for lunch!"
"Yum!" Said Mikey.
"Let's go!" Said April.
We all walked to the kitchen. Now that Zoey and I had no more school, we had more time to get to know the turtles better.
I made the sandwiches carefully, meanwhile listening to the conversation behind me.
"You guys are fifteen?" Asked Zoey
"Yeah, each one of us." Said Leo
"Wow you guys are older than me!" Said Zoey. She turned to April. "So April, why do you always hang out here anyways?"
"Well for lots of reasons, like for example, these guys are my friends and are helping me out and also Master Splinter is training me to become a Kunoichi, a female ninja." She said.
"Cool!" Said Zoey "I wanna be a Kunoichi!"
"Well it's a lot of training." Said April "But it's still fun!"
Zoey turned to the turtles. "What are you guys helping April with?" She asked.
"To find April's dad. " Said Mikey
"April's dad was kidnapped by the Krang and we're helping her find him." Said Leo.
"Ah! I see!" Said Zoey "So do any of you like April as more than a friend?"
I turned around. "Zoey!" I yelled
"What?" She asked innocently "It's just a question."
"B - but maybe they're not comfortable with answering it!" I said, my face red.
"Okay!" Said Zoey
Donnie looked relived somehow.
"I saw that Donnie." I said
"Heh! What do you mean?" He said "I didn't do anything!"
Zoey and I rolled our eyes at the same time.
"Whatever." I said
I had finished making everyone sandwiches and put them on a platter.
"They look so good!" Said Zoey
"Yeah!" Said Mikey.
"Bon Appetite!" I said.
So everyone grabbed a sandwich and dug in.
"H-how in the world do you guys know this stuff!?" Asked April.
I shrugged "it's easy." I said
"What's wrong April?" Asked Donnie, who walked by us.
"Can you belive that Zoey and Scarlett know how to do MY homework and I'm older than them!?" Yelled April.
"Wait what?" Asked Donnie
"We know more than the redhead." Said Zoey. I nodded in agreement.
"How do you two know such advanced problems!?" Asked April "It's seriously freaking me out!"
"How do you NOT know how to do such advanced problems?" I asked.
"Ooh! Burn!" Said Zoey.
We high-fived.
"So you guys are kind of like me?" Said Donnie.
"I'm pretty sure they're even more advanced at science and stuff than YOU Donnie." Said April.
I smiled.
"Ah yes." I said "But the life of a genius isn't easy." I heavily sighed a little sarcastically.
"Ay." Said Zoey, playing along with me. "We are forever meant to be alone."
I couldn't keep from laughing.
"Alone?" Asked Donnie "What in the world do you mean?"
Then we exploded into laughter. Both Zoey and I liked messing with people.
"Just kidding!" I said
"Yeah. " Said Zoey "we're just playing around with you guys."
"Well Anyways April, that is how you do homework." I said and picked up the book I had been reading.
'A Midsummer ' s Night Dreams' by Shakespeare. My love for Shakespeare was very weird, but I found his writing beautiful and in no way did I ever find it confusing.
"What's that?" Asked Donnie, who was still in the room.
"it's a play about a fairy who plays pranks on these two pairs of lovers in the woods." I said "I like this story, but not as much as stories like 'Romeo and Juliet' or like 'The Books of Elsewhere'."
"intresting." Said Donnie. He walked into his lab, leaving us three alone.
"Zoey I need help with this." Said April.
"Okey Dokey!" Said Zoey and scooted over to where April was sitting. "What can I help you with?"
When I had finished my story, I sighed. Whenever I finished a really good book, I felt like applauding the author at the end. I sighed and clutched the book. "What a good book." I said. I moved on to another.
'Gone With The Wind' this one was made by Margaret Mitchell, she was also a great writer. I liked reading this book because it took place in Georgia, where I lived once. When I read it, I was practically there.
Another reason I liked this book was because of the name of the main character.
Scarlett.
It's funny how Scarlett and I were kind of alike, but just a little. I imagined her to look like me except with hazel eyes. When another character named Rhett Butler came into the story, I closed the book. He reminded me of Zac. When I read about him, I could see Zac. I saw him staring at me with those icy blue eyes... Something about Zac wasn't right.
"I'm bored." I said out loud.
Mikey was playing video games as usual. I wondered for a second how he had gotten there and I never saw him. When I looked around some more and saw April gone too, I realized how much time had passed.
Zoey was laying down on her back, reading 'Julius Caesar'. Typical, she really liked that book. She liked Shakespeare as much as me.
"I'm kind of bored too." She said. "What about you Mikey?"
Mikey turned around. "Yeah me too, I'm tired of being beat over and over again in this game." He said.
Leo walked by. "Can we do something?" I asked "I'm so bored!"
He stared at us. "What do you mean?" He asked "I thought you were reading or something."
"Yeah." I said "but my eyes need a rest."
"Fine." He said "what do you guys want to do?"
"Let's go skateboarding!" Said Mikey enthusiastically.
"Skateboarding?" I asked
"Yeah!" Said Mikey "We find an empty place in the sewers and skateboard."
"I don't know how to skateboard." I said.
"Can we go?" Said Mikey to Leo "Please?"
Mikey made his huge eyes again.
"Awwww!" Zoey and I said at the same time.
Leo hesitated. "Can't you do it while we patrol today?" He asked.
"That's even better!" Said Mikey and ran to his room, most likely getting his skateboard.
"What do you mean 'Patrolling'?" I asked.
Leo smiled.
"You're about to see." He said.
Leo held up the manhole lid just enough so that he could see what was going on in the dark alley.
"Is the coast clear?" Asked Donnie
Leo looked down at us and nodded.
"This is going to be so awesome!" Grinned Zoey.
I nodded and smiled.
"When can we go?" Asked Zoey impatiently.
"Just hold on." Said Raph.
"Yeah, we'll get going soon enough." Said Donnie.
Leo finally got out of the manhole.
"Let us go first." Said Donnie "just to be safe."
I nodded. "Okay." I said.
So as the turtles swiftly got out, Zoey and I followed.
Once I was up there, I saw that the turtles were gone.
"Where'd they go?" I whispered to Zoey, who stood next to me.
She shrugged.
"Leo? Donnie? Mikey? Raph?" I called out.
"Up here." I heard Mikey whisper from above me.
I looked up, they were already on the roof of the building I was standing next to.
"Um, guys..." I started "you do know I can't move as fast as you, I mean I can't just climb a building like I do it every day!"
"You do realize that we LITERALLY do this everyday right?" Asked Raph.
I rolled my eyes.
"I've got this!" Said Zoey.
I smiled, I knew what she meant.
She held up two grappling hooks.
"Awesome!" I said.
We shot both of ours to the edge of the roof top. I felt the grappling hook pull me to the roof.
Before I knew it, I was on the roof top with everyone else.
"Cool." Said Mikey. He pulled out his skateboard.
"Let's go." Said Leo, everyone nodded.
They started running across the roof, with the exception of Mikey. They ran in a weird way.
I followed, eventually the rooftop ran out and there was a gap between this building and the next.
I stopped, but the turtles jumped the gap like it was nothing.
Zoey examined the gap. "Hey guys, wait!" She called out.
Raph groaned. "Again!?"
"What?" Said Zoey, "you do realize we are only human, we don't normally jump this far."
I nodded shyly.
"Well," said Zoey "lemme try and jump this."
She ran and jumped. I was worried. "Zo-" I started, but I stopped because Zoey made it safely to the other side.
"Your turn Scarlett!" Zoey yelled back to me.
I shook my head. "I can't do this!" I yelled back.
Raph groaned. "Let's just leave her behind! She's slowing us down!"
"Hey!" Said Zoey "That's my best friend you're talking about!"
I smiled a little.
"Just try!" Said Leo
"What if I fall?" I asked.
"Don't fall!" Yelled Mikey "That's the best way you can avoid falling."
"Gee, thanks." I said under my breath.
My heart was beating loudly.
"O-okay" I said "I'll try."
I stepped backwards a little. When I was ready, I ran.
'I can do this!' I kept telling myself, but towards the gap I'd have to jump, I doubted that I would make it.
I kept running and I jumped, despite what my mind was telling me. And for a second, time seemed to stop and I was floating in mid - air. I smiled a little, thinking I had made it.
I saw Leo stretch his hand out to me so that I could grab it.
I almost grabbed it, when it happened. I had a weird feeling in my stomach, my smile faded away.
The ground seemed to get closer to me.
"Ah!" I screamed.
"Scarlett!" Screamed Zoey
The ground was getting even closer. 'No!' I thought. 'No! Nononononononononononono!'
I screamed.
The ground was getting closer to me, I braced myself.
But, wait a second...
I didn't hit the ground. I looked up, Mikey had grabbed my boot with his nunchuck.
You have no idea how happy I was that I hadn't fatally fallen to the ground.
I smiled as they pulled me up to the rooftop.
Zoey hugged me tightly once I was safe.
"I thought you were a goner!" She whispered to me.
"Me too." I whispered back.
I looked at the turtles.
"Maybe I should just go back." I said. "Raph ' s right, I'm just slowing you guys down."
Everyone glanced at Raph.
Leo shook his head. "No, you're still coming with us." He said.
I smiled.
"But how will I keep up with you guys?" I asked.
Leo glanced at Raph again.
"Yay!" Said Mikey "Piggyback ride!"
"What?" I asked.
Before I knew it, I was sitting on Raph ' s shell. I held on tightly. I was so nervous.
Zoey looked at me on Raph ' s back.
"Lucky!" She said. She turned around. "Hey Donnie! Can I rode on your back?"
Donnie stared at her.
"Fine, whatever." He said and shrugged.
"Yay!" Zoey said as she got onto Donnie's back. "Let's do this!"
I wished I was more like Zoey.
"I don't wanna fall again!" I said "that was too scary!"
Raph rolled his eyes. "You won't fall!" He said. "But you better hold on tightly."
"Wait wha-!?" I asked. But they already took off.
The reader may find me lucky, but to be honest, it was one of the scariest experiences ever for me. There was no seat belt or anything, I had to rely on my strength to keep me on Raph ' s shell.
Zoey was having so much fun. "Faster!" She said to Donnie.
Donnie obeyed and sped past us.
"H-hey!" I yelled, now wanting to beat Zoey at this competition. "C'mon Raph!"
He nodded. "Let's go!" He said.
Mikey was skating next to us, but he soon fell behind.
Leo called out to us. "Be careful guys!"
"Alright!" Zoey and I called back to him.
I whispered to Raph. "Get him!"
Raph smiled enjoying this race.
I was smiling too now. The wind blowing into my face felt so nice.
I never wanted to slow down.
Eventually, Donnie and Zoey had fallen behind us. "Yay!" I cheered "we win!"
Raph smiled at me, he was happy to beat Donnie too.
All of a sudden he stopped and I nearly fell off.
"Hey!" I said to him.
"Sorry." He said "but look over there." He pointed to a building with a white van outside of it. Two men who looked exactly alike were bringing something into the van. Two other robot looking things had guns and protected the van.
"Let's go." Said Leo, who was now standing not too far from us.
Everyone else, including myself, nodded.
They jumped off the building, I held on tightly to Raph, and they ran towards the suspicious white van.
Well there you go! Please review! I worked so hard on this chapter and I want to know what you all think about it! So anyways, Ciao!
