Mikey wheeled his wheelchair into the living room happily. He knew his brothers were confused by his changed attitude. They stared at him with weird looks as they helped him out of the car and he wheeled himself into the house.
"So what happened that changed your mood?" Raph asked as he and the others entered the house.
Mikey smiled back at Raph. "I got a date."
The brothers' eyes popped wide open. "What?!"
Mikey giggled. "What? You didn't believe in moi?"
Leo shook his head, his eyes still wide, and placed a hand on the back of his neck. "N-No, it's not that, it's just that...we're afraid she'll hurt you."
Mikey cocks an eyebrow. "She's not going to hurt me. Why would you think that she would?"
"We're just concerned, Mike. We don't want you to really like this girl and then have her stomp on your heart." Donnie said.
Mikey's eyes softened a little. "Guys, I'm not going to get hurt. I'm sixteen now. It's about time I have a date."
"Remember when you were thirteen?" Raph asked.
Mikey sighed. "Yes, I remember." Mikey had had a girlfriend at age thirteen. It had gotten pretty serious,
until a stupid jocky boy swooped her off of her feet. Mikey had been devastated. April helped him out of his funk.
Donnie's eyes softened. "We're sorry for bringing it up, Mike, we just don't want you to get hurt."
"You can't keep treating me like a little kid. I'm sixteen now. I know you guys are concerned, but please just give her a chance." Mikey reasoned.
Leo sighed. "You're right, Mike. We'll give her a chance."
"Good, because she's coming on Saturday."
"Wait, what?!" The three cried.
"You guys are doing it again." Mikey groaned.
Leo sighed. "We're sorry, Mikey. We'll give her a chance."
Mikey smiled and nodded. "Good." And with that, Mikey wheeled off to his room to do what little homework he had. The three brothers sat on the couch for a meeting.
"What do you guys think about this?" Donnie asked gently.
Raph sighed. "I want Mike to be happy, but what if this girl breaks his heart like Cierra had? He was devastated. It took months to snap him out of it."
"We've just gotta trust Mikey. That's all we can do. And if this girl breaks his heart, we hunt her down."
Ding Dong.
The brothers directed their gaze to the door. Michelangelo obviously had not heard the doorbell, due to him not coming out of his room. Leo stood up and walked to the door. He turned the doorknob and opened the door.
A girl, with long brown hair and glistening blue eyes, stood on the other side of the door.
"Hello? Does Michelangelo Hamato live here?"
Leo stared at the girl with cautionary eyes. "Who are you?"
The girl put a strand of brown hair behind her ear. "My name is, Jenasis. And who might you be?"
Leo's eyes softened very slightly. This girl seemed polite. "My name is, Leonardo."
"Oh, so you're the brother that Michelangelo said was going to war. Thank you for your future service."
Leo smiled slightly at the girl. "Thank you. May I ask why you came?"
"Oh, well, Michelangelo left his books at school, and I thought I'd bring them by, so he can do the homework assignment." Jenasis explained.
Leo nodded. Thoughtful as well. "Ah, yes...well...come in. I'm sure my brothers and I would love to talk to you while Mikey finishes his...math homework." Leo said, trying to find a good excuse of being able to find out more about this girl.
Jenasis looked a little fearful and skeptical. "N-No, I wouldn't want to impose," She tried handing the history books over to Leo. "Could you just please give these to him."
"No, no, no, it would be our pleasure if you came in to talk for a while." Leo offered.
Jenasis bit her lip and looked around nervously. "Well, I-"
"Please. It would be our pleasure."
Jenasis sighed. "I...I guess I could. Just for a bit, though."
Leo smiled. "Excellent. Please come in." Leo said as he stepped out of the way, allowing Jenasis to enter.
Jenasis entered the house nervously as two more pairs of eyes fell on her. She stood awkwardly in front of the brothers. She lifted her hand and waved politely.
"H-Hello."
Donnie flashed her a warm smile, not wanting her to feel uncomfortable. "Hello. You're Jenasis, am I correct?"
Jenny smiled politely, but her eyes never stopped wandering the house. "Yes, that is correct."
Raph wanted to get straight to the questioning. "What do you want to be when you graduate college?"
The question seemed so sudden to Jenasis, but she answered, still skeptical of each brother. "I would like to be an author."
Leo shot Raph a warning looke before directing his gaze back to Jenny. "Please, have a seat." He said politely.
Jenny walked towards the recliner next to the couch and sat down uncomfortably. "Th-Thank you."
Leo smiled and sat down. "So, have you made any new friends besides our brother at our school?"
Jenny smiled politely. "Well, other than Michelangelo, no not really. I've met that April O'Neal girl, though.
She seems real nice."
Donnie smiled. "That's my girlfriend. And yes, she's real nice. Our family's known her and her father since her and I were one. Leo was three, Raph was two, and Mikey wasn't born quite yet."
Jenny smiled. "How interesting. She's really smart as well."
"Not as smart as our good brother Donnie over here!" Raph said with a smile.
Jenny smiled at the brothers, starting to warm up to them already, which was unusual for her to do. Usually it took her weeks to warm up to someone. But some how, these boys were stealing her heart.
"So you all are a year apart?" She asked politely.
Raph nodded. "Sure are. Leo's eighteen, going on nineteen. I'm seventeen, going on eighteen. Donnie's sixteen going on seventeen. And Mikey just turned sixteen."
Jenny smiled gently. "I'm fifteen, going on sixteen this year."
Leo smiled. He liked this girl. A lot more than Cierra. He hoped that Jenasis and Mikey would really hit it off. She seemed like an angel. "Where are you from, Jenasis?"
She smiled. "Ohio."
"Ohio?" The brothers echoed.
She giggled lightly. "Yeah. We just moved in from Ohio. My mother and brother and I."
Leo smiled. "Do you like it here in New York?"
Jenny looked at her hands. "Well...it's nice and all, but...some of the people here. There was a boy at school who had tried to pick up on me, but he offended me, so I threw my water in his face," Raph chuckled at that statement. "Another boy knocked my books out of my hands purposely. That's when I met Mikey. He helped pick up my books, and it all went from there."
Donnie smiled gently. "Well, I'm glad our brother helped you. It sounded like you had a rough day."
Jenny sighed gently. "Yeah."
"Hey guys who are you talking to?" Mikey asked as he exited his room. Then his eyes fell in Jenny. "Oh,
hey, Jenny. Sorry I didn't come out earlier. I hadn't heard the doorbell."
Jenny smiled gently. "It's fine. I was just talking with your brothers. They're really nice."
Mikey smiled and wheeled his wheelchair over to where Jenny sat. "I'm glad you think so. But I must warn you. They're extremely overprotective."
Jenny giggled. "That's to be expected. You are their baby brother after all."
Mikey smiled. "Yeah, I guess so."
Jenny looked at her watch and gasped. "I didn't notice how late it was. I should really get going. Oh, and,
Mikey," She placed the books in Mikey's arms, "I brought these for you. For that history assignment."
Mikey smiled up at her greatfully. "Thanks."
She smiled back. "Well, I really should be going. It was a pleasure meeting you all," She said as she stood up. "Goodbye, everyone." She said as she exited the house.
Mikey smiled at his brothers. "So what do you think?"
Leo smiled. "I like her. She is much nicer than Cierra was."
Mikey smiled eagerly. "Yeah! And she's prettier!" Cierra had been a toehead with pale blue eyes and pale skin the color of ice.
Raph smiled fondly. "Yeah, I guess she is. And I like the story of her throwing water in that boy's face. That was pretty funny."
"That boy was Jake."
"And that makes it all the more hilarious." Raph and Jake were pretty good friends, so for Jake to get stood up like that Raph wouldn't let him live it down.
Mikey giggled. "I like her, too, Mike. She seems really nice."
"Oh, believe me, she is!"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Mikey sat in his wheelchair watching 'Fuller House' on Netflix.
"I know three swear words! Booger, dang, and Donald Trump!"
Mikey laughed. "That's a classic!" The show proved to be hilarious just like the original show. But just as he had been enjoying the show Leo's phone began to go off madly. Many texts began to come in and after a minute of Leo not answering, phone calls began to come in and then finally a voicemail.
Mikey directed his gaze towards the blue covered phone. Whoever it was seemed urgent. Now, Mikey wasn't one to invade personal space, but whoever this was sounded dangerously urgent.
Mikey picked the phone up and looked at who had been blowing up Leo's phone. The contact who had been calling so urgently made Mikey's blood run cold.
Karai.
He knew things were wrong with her and her father, so on instinct, Mikey unlocked Leo's phone. He looked at Karai's texts and gasped.
Leo, please come! He's trying to kill me!
Leo, please, I'm begging you! He's going to find me!
Leo, he's got a gun please hurry!
Leo, he's trying to find me!
He's coming up the stairs!
And finally, the voicemail. Mikey clicked on the 'play' button and listened intentlly. Her voice was a bit muffled, but Mikey could make out her voice and words.
"Leo, he-he's got a gun! He-He wants to kill me! Please, hurry! Bring a gun!" The sound of a door can be heard, but it wasn't the normal creaking open. It sounded like someone had broken down her door. "Leo, he found me! Please, he's got a gun! He's going to shoot me!" The sound of a gun shot can be heard, and a scream, and the voicemail ends.
Mikey's blood is left running cold. He knew something was wrong. He had to alert Leo! "Leo, hurry! It's an emergency!"
Like lightning, Leo was downstairs, originally doing homework up in his room. "Mikey, what's wrong?" He asked with concern.
Mikey was a stuttering and shaking mess. "Ph-Ph-Phone...texts...v-voicemail...g-g-gun..."
Leo placed his hands on Mikey's shoulders. "Mikey, calm down. Tell me what's wrong."
Mikey took in deep, shaky breaths. "Y-You're phone was going off. It sounded urgent, so I looked. You have to get to Karai's! Her dad's going to kill her! He has a gun!"
Leo's eyes widened then narrowed. He walked upstairs for a moment before coming back down. Shotgun in hand. "Mikey, if I'm not home within an hour without a phone call, call the police."
And that's all he said before leaving their house.
A little more dramatic, huh? What do you guys think? Did you like it, love it, hate it? Let me know. Your opinion matters. :)
