Chapter 14 April and Irma's girl's day out
After getting through her first week back at School when after whole kraang nonsense April O'Neil was ready to have some fun and what better way than to have a girl's day out with her friend Irma. As soon as Irma got to April's apartment building she knocked on April's door and Kirby answered the door and said, "Hello Irma how are you today?" Irma answered, "I'm fine Mr. O' Neil how are you today sir?" "I'm doing just fine" replied Kirby. "April will be down in a moment. Please sit down and make yourself at home." Irma thanked Kirby and sat down in the living room waiting for her friend. A few minutes later April came out of her bed room dressed and ready to go. "Hi Irma" said April. "Are you ready for our girl's day out?" "You better believe I am" answered Irma. Before Irma and April left to go out she went up to her father and asked, "Dad may I have some extra cash to go shopping please?" It wasn't too often that April would ask her father for shopping money but after what they went through he said, "Sure April but don't spent it all in one place as he gave April a hundred dollars." "Oh wow thanks Dad" said April as she and Irma headed for the door to go to the mall. While April and Irma were on their way they were catching up because Irma thought April dropped off the face of the Earth when she was away for so long. "I'm sorry that I didn't keep in contact. Things were very complicated while my Dad and I were away taking care of my sick aunt" April told her friend. "Hey it's happens and the most important thing is now that you're back and we can spend some time together just you and me" stated Irma.
April was happy that Irma had forgiven her and continued on their journey to the mall. Their walk was interrupted when three members of the Purple Dragons came out of nowhere. One of them came up to April and said, "Turn over your money and nobody will get hurt!" "I think we better listen to this guy before he and his friends hurt us" Irma nervously said. "Not a chance" April exclaimed as she pulled out her Tessen and started kicking some Purple Dragon butts with her weapon and the ninjutsu moves she learned from Master Splinter. April took down the Purple Dragon thugs in no time and they all ran away scared of being beaten up by April again. April even managed to kick them where the sun doesn't shine and each of them had a nasty black eye. "Whoa April where did learn how to fight like that and where did you get that fan?" Irma asked in astonishment. April answered, "I'm been studying a bit of ninjutsu and this is no ordinary fan. Its call a Tessen and it's used in self-defense." "April my friend you freaking amaze me" Irma exclaimed. "If I didn't know better I would have to say you learned those moves from those friends you won't tell me about." April became nervous at what Irma told her and said, "Come on Irma let's get to the mall before we miss any awesome sales" as she pulled her friend by the hand heading towards the mall. When they got inside they visited as many clothing and shoe stores as possible and lucky for them every store they went to had a huge sale including one store that was sadly going out of business but it was a money saving opportunity for April and Irma because everything in that store was 90% off. "OMG LOOK AT HOW CUTE THESE CLOTHES ARE! WE HAVE TO BUY THEM" Irma excitedly told April. "I couldn't agree with you more and we'll save money since this store is closing" answered April so the two friends looked through the racks. Irma got herself a few new skirts and tops and as for April she bought herself a new winter coat for when it gets cold, and some other clothes for herself and something nice for her Dad as a thank you for giving her all that extra mall money.
When the two friends were done shopping April and Irma headed to the food court to get some lunch because shopping can make a girl hungry. "So what do you want to do now?" Irma asked April as they finished eating. April thought about it for a moment and something caught her attention. April saw a photo booth near the arcade. "Let's take min pictures that way we can remember our fun girl's day out forever" April exclaimed which Irma was fine with. April put in two dollars in the machine because that how much it costed to take mini pictures. "Smile Irma" said April as the flash from the camera in the photo booth went off. For each pose April and Irma made weird but silly faces. (After all that is what people do when they take photos in a photo booth.) When the pictures came out both the girls were laughing at their pictures. "Let's take more pictures April and this time I'm paying" said Irma as she took out two more dollars and put it in the machine. As a joke Irma had April put on her glasses and April let Irma wear the new sunglasses she bought for one of the pictures they took before switching back eye wear as they took the rest of the pictures. April and Irma even did bunny ears on each other for fun in the last picture before the photos were printed. For each time April and Irma took photos two strips of photos came out because it printed out two copies of the same strip so April and Irma exchange mini photos that way they'll both have a different copy within the pair of photos.
Before the two friends left the mall they stopped by a karaoke place that was for teenagers. "Hey April are you up for some karaoke fun?" Irma asked April which she answered "Sounds like fun but what song sound we sing?" "How about that song Let's go to the Mall from that show we used to watch all the time together How I Met Your Mother. When Robin was too embarrassed to tell her friends that she was a Canadian Teen Pop Star named Robin Sparkles and one of her songs Let's go to the Mall which was very popular and Barney was the one who found the video and showed it to everyone else. Do you remember that one?" asked Irma. "I sure do so why not. Let's go up there and sing" April exclaimed as she and Irma went inside and found the song of their choice and told the karaoke guy what they were going to sing. As soon the music started April was the first song to start singing,
April: "Let's go to the mall, everybody!
Come on Jessica, come on Tori,
Let's go to the mall, you won't be sorry
Put on your jelly bracelets
And your cool graffiti coat
At the mall, having fun is what it's all about
I haven't done my homework yet (That's OK!)
And you know how my parents get (Whatever!)
I don't care,'cause all my friends are gonna be there"
April and Irma: "Everybody come and play
Throw every last care away
Let's go to the mall today"
Irma: "There's this boy I like
Met him at the food court
He's got hair like Gretzky
And he does jumps on his skateboard
I hope he asks me out
Takes me to my favorite spot
It'll be just him and me
(But don't forget the robot)"
April: "Dad says I'm too young to date (Lame!)
But baby, I don't want to wait (Let's do it!)
That's OK, I'm going to rock your body anyway
I'm going to rock your body 'til Canada Day"
April and Irma: "Everybody come and play
Throw every last care away
Let's go to the mall today"
Irma: "I went to the mall with a couple of friends
I had a whole week's allowance to spend
I want hoop earrings and a Benetton shirt
We came here to shop and we came here to flirt
I turned around and who should I see
Prime Minister Brian Mulroney
He said, "Young lady, I don't approve."
So I had to get down and bust a crazy move
Hit it Fred, come on
Let's go to the mall"
April and Irma: "Let's go to the mall, everybody!
Everybody come and play
Throw every last care away
Let's go to the mall today
Everybody loves the mall!
Everybody come and play (Yeah!)
Throw every last care away (I love my hoop earrings!)
Let's go to the mall today"
As soon as the song was over April and Irma were laughing because they couldn't believe they just sang Let's Go to the Mall while at the mall. The audience enjoyed their performance and clapped for them. "Thank you everyone for enjoying our performance!" Both April and Irma said as they took a bow. After that April and Irma left the mall and were both on their way home. "Hi Dad" said April as she arrived home. "Hello April did you have fun today?" Kirby asked his daughter as she walked in. "I sure did and I got you something while I was at the mall" said April as she handed him a bag with the item that she got for him which was a new button down shirt. "Thank you April I love this shirt and I think I'll wear it for work next week" Kirby told his daughter which made April happy. "I'm glad that you had a good time. It's nice that you're trying to have a normal life after all we went through" Kirby said to April which she agreed with but at the same time the one strange but good thing that happened to April that she would never give up was meeting her friends the turtles and Master Splinter because without them April thought to herself, "My life would be kind of boring without them."
Author's Note: For this chapter of my fanfiction I decided to write about April and Irma hanging out together just the two of them. Plus I was thinking about the show How I Met your Mother and that funny but catchy song "Let's Go to the Mall" that was sang in one of the episodes where Robin's character reveals that she was a Canadian teen pop star named Robin Sparkles so for fun I had April and Irma sing that song together while they were hanging at the mall. I don't own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, How I Met Your Mother and the song Let's Go to the Mall. I just thought it would be fun to include it in my fan fiction plus I'm a big fan of How I Met Your Mother. Stay tune for the next update because I'll be writing soon. Peace out from Princesspeach102!
