You Look Normal

Chapter 13
"Beep Beep"
Mikey groaned under his covers, "Is this how it is going to be every day!" Mikey slowly sat up, "having to wake up every day at 7am!"
"Actually, Mikey it is 7:33, we could not get you up," Donnie informed his younger brother and Mikey realized his brother were already dressed, Leo in his dark blue plaid shirt and his light shad slim pants, Raph in his red Metallica shirt and black baggy jeans, Donnie staring at him in his dark purple button up shirt and gray pants, "you got about 5 to 7 minutes before the bus comes," Donnie told his only younger brother while tying his white convers.
Mikey jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom messing up his hair a little, then ran back to his dresser and pulled out his green dinosaur, explosions shirt and dark blue pants. Mikey's brothers watched him as he tripped trying to put on his pants and sock at the same time while standing, only to give up and do it on the floor. Mikey tumbled down the stairs and ran to his black and green Vans he left by the couch last night. Mikey ran past Splinter and yelled out a quick good morning. Then he stopped to grab his orange jacket while his brothers joined him down stairs.
Raph grabbed and bowl and started making cereal, Leo took two pieces of bread for toast and Donnie when strait to the coffee pot.
"Guys what are you doing we are running late!" Mikey questioned, not that he wanted to go to school, but he was already up and dressed, and Casey's not bring his games up till tomorrow.
"Relax Mikey we got like ten minutes left," Leo told his brother while wiping butter on his toast.
"B but you said," Mikey asked pointing at Donnie, who got a cheeky smile, "due not cool," Mikey grumbled sitting down to make himself some cereal.
Donnie smiled sheepishly, not knowing if Mikey was really mad at him or not, it has been hard to tell lately.
"Oh good everyone's up dressed and eating," April commented tiredly heading over to the coffee pot.
"Would you like some tea Miss O'Neal?" Splinter asked April.
"No thank you Splinter I got coffee," April replied take a seat in the living room.
"Okay guys five minutes and we have to walk up the road, we better head out," Leo half ordered, half reminded his younger brothers.
"Be careful it is foggy outside!" April warned her friends/sons before they left
The ex-turtles stood outside for about two minutes before they starting feeling the cold weather.
"It is sooooo cold!" Mikey complained jumping up and down, "I cannot feel my toes!"
"Get over it Mikey it has only been three damn minutes," Raph grumbled to his youngest brother, holding himself tighter.
"I think I see the bus," Donnie said squinting to see through the fog.
"What bus number do we even ride!?" Mikey complain, slowly bouncing up and down.
"I think it is bus 7," Donnie replied to Mikey question in a mumble.
Large yellow/orange bus stopped in front of the four brothers. As soon as the doors open Mikey pushed pass Donnie and Raph and jumped in.
Donnie's POV
'Okay today is starting out okay'
I followed Raph onto the bus and tried to move fast so Leo could get on.
All the smaller children were in front, and the children got older as the seats got closer to the back.
'Haven't these kids heard of hands and feet in the seat at all time, or Raph will break them off' I mumbled to myself watching Raph push and growl though the line of seats.
Raph moved to the very back and seat in the single seat, Leo took a seat near the middle with Mikey who was trying to fit into Leo coat with him, and I am going to sit… um the only seat left is with that very… under… dressed…um female.
Maybe I will sit with Leo and Mikey, "Hey this seats free cutie!" too late. The short blonde hair girl waved me over to her and I awkwardly made my way over to her and sat down.
The bus left the farm house and I wished we could have been back at our sewer home in New York 'we would be if it wasn't for you' I told myself sadly.
"So," She popped her gum, "you new."
"y yeah," The blonde girl caught me off guard.
"Good," She smiled at me with white teeth and laced our arms together.
Um okay, our humans always this um… nice to each other.
Then again I lived in New York my whole life; it is a pretty rough place.
I think I am home sick 'your own fault' which is weird since I have been away from home longer than this before, maybe it is because there is a change we might not be able to go back again. I might not be able to change us back, what if the world turns out like that horrible world I was sent to. It would be all my fault, all of it Splinters death, Casey's death and if we our humans Raph might lost more than an eye, Mikey could lost more than an arm. They might die with everyone else when all of it begins-
Raph's and another guy's voice started` yelling at each other. I turn my head; everyone else is already looking, to see what's going on.
"Look dumb ass this is MY seat!" A tall black hair muscle man demanded Raph, he must have got on when I was thinking.
"I don't see YOUR name on it!" Raph returned.
The tall guy got a smirk look and point to a sharpie marking on the seat that said
Danny Whyglie
"Oh… that doesn't mean I am moving!" Raph returned to his angry voice.
Another smirk look from Danny, Raph got in a fight stands, but Danny simply sat on Raph.
Okay I did not see that coming?
Raph struggled under the larger teen but was not released.
That was new; I turned back to the front of the bus.
I was knocked out of my head again from the blonde beside me popping her gum in my face.
Next tactic; I will pretend not to hear it.
"Hmmm feisty," she gave me a simile then continued popping her gum.
The bus stopped and I quickly stood up to get away from the blonde girl.
I walked off the bus to the High School with a grumbling Raph, a complaining Mikey, and a concerned Leo behind me.
'This is going to be a long day'
The day went by around the way it went yesterday.
Science with Kasey and Jazzy. A four page essay was assigned in social studies. Leo was assigned the flute and Raph got the musical triangle, not showing much musical talent. Donnie and Mikey made tape people with Blake and Josh in their art class, they made a ninja. Lunch did not have much to offer either.
"I am bored Hailey," Kasey commented from her piggy back position on Hailey's back.
"We need internet at school," Hailey replied moving back and forth, dangling Kasey's legs.
"We need a marry-go-round," Kasey added.
"We need a gay guy named Steve, so I can control his mortal mind," Hailey said tossing around. Everyone was quiet for a moment.
"We should get a Taco Bell," Kasey broke the silent excitedly.
"You hate Taco Bell," Hailey reminded clamly.
"Oh yeah," Kasey said sadly, "we need rocket packs," Kasey relied with a goofy grin.
"I have a rocket pack!" Mikey yell excitedly, after begging Donnie forever his brother was finally forced to make rocket packs.
Kasey and Hailey stared at him, along with the rest of the group. The ex-turtles tensed and Mikey realized what he said.
"Does it burn your feet when you fly?" Kasey asked with wide eyes.
"um…no," Mikey said now unsure what to say with his brother glaring at him.
"You owe me five bucks," Kasey looked down and told Hailey.
"Since when!" Hailey replied looking up at the girl on her back.
"Since we made that bet," Kasey said stubbornly.
"What bet," Hailey asked confused.
"The one I just made in my mind, cause I need five bucks," Kasey grinned.
"Well this ride cost five bucks," Hailey grinned.
"Crap," Kasey mumbled sliding off Hailey's back.
And that's pretty much how the rest of the day went at school, till the brothers finally got to go home.
"When is bone head coming over tomorrow," Raph asked April flipping through a car magazine on the bar.
"Casey should be here when you get back from school," April replied making another PB&J sandwich and added it to a plate with five more for a snack.
"Cool, cool" Raph mumbled.
"So how's school?" April asked.
"Boring, me and Leo signed up for the football team, and we start Monday," Raph replied still staring at the magazine.
"Really!?" April almost choked in awe.
"Yeah and I think Mikey signed up for basketball… or his was just screwing with paper in the office," Raph replied stud at Aprils coughing fit.
"That's great, so you guys are fitting in fine!" April said happily.
"Yeah I guess were doing fine, Not Saying I like being human, Its boring as Shell!" Raph mumbled the last part walking out of the room still look at his magazine.
April stared a moment then shrugged, grabbed the plat of sandwiches and when to pass them out.
Leo stood outside rehearing moves with his kata. His moves were of course sloppy since his kata were now twice as heavy then before and he had two extra fingers.
'Maybe Splinter can help me, he has five fingers,' Leo thought to himself, if there was one thing that bugged Leo it was not being able to do something.
He did not mind asking for help but this was ridicule.
"Hey," April said breaking into Leo's thoughts.
Leo looked up wide eyed, 'how did he not hear her coming!'
"Here I made you a sandwich," April said happily handing him a PB&J sandwich.
"T- thanks," Leo said taking the sandwich, still shocked.
"Welcome," April sang walking away.
'Oh no, why couldn't I hear her' Leo stood still in shock, 'I cannot lose my sixth sense and my katas, what else do I have, how can I protect my family?!'
Fear and shock held Leo in his place, then his started to move shakily to the farm house.
'I need to see Splinter I need to practices,' Leo nodded his head then startedhe started running.
'I have to practice, I need to train,"
Mikey was having similar troubles but with something compactly different.
"So. Many. Fingers," Mikey grumbled losing his third game of space invaders.
"My score has when down by six hundred points!" Mikey yelled at himself sitting on the third branch on a tree near the house.
'How do normal people do this with all these extra fingers?!' Mikey thought annoyed.
'Well it doesn't matter I will go skate board,' Mikey saidthen back flipped off then tree landing sloppily
Mikey stubbed then started to run to the small cemented area behind the farm house.
"Hey Mi-," April was cut with Mikey running passed her grabbing a sandwich and yelling a quick thanks.
"Okay?" April shrugged then continued on her way.
Mikey grabbed his skate board that he placed in a shaded area on the back porch.
Mikey grinned happily then threw the board in front of him a jumped on in.
Last time they were at the farm house Donnie helped Mikey place handmade ramps around the cemented area.
Mikey began to perform his own special tricks only someone who lived in the sewers for 15 years could pull off.
The trick Mikey liked to call 'In your face' ended in him falling on his face.
"Ow," Mikey sat up and grabbed his fallen board.
"Maybe it's the shoes," Mikey told himself and popped his shoes off his feet.
Crash landed
"Maybe it's the coat," Mikey slid his green coat off.
Crash…crash
"It has to be the shirt," Mikey pulled of his school shirt and threw it with his coat.
Crash
"THE PANTS, IT'S ALWAYS THE PANTS!" Mikey slid his pants off.
Crash
"The boxers-," Mikey was cut off by April yelling at him.
"Mikey What Are You Doing!" She yelled desperately.
"Um…skate boarding," Mikey replied.
"Where are your clothes?! It's freezing out here!" April said taking off her dark pink coat and put in around his shoulders.
Mikey realized the cold air now and started shivering and blushed, "My um clothes are over there," said pointing to the pill of clothes.
"Why did you take them off," April asked confused going over to pick up the clothes.
"Um… I don't know," Mikey said sending April a childish glare.
"And what happened to you have scratches all over you?!" April asked worried getting a better look at him.
"Yeah I fell down… a lot," Mikey replied playing with his hair.
"Okay," April said unsure handing him his clothes and shoes, "go inside and take a warm bath before you get sick,"
"M'kay," Mikey said walking to the back porch.
"Oh hey Mikey do you know where Don is?" April called back to Mikey.
"Um I think his in the barn," Mikey replied thinking about where his last saw his purple banded brother.
"Okay I will check," April said walking to the barn.
Mikey walked up to the bathroom and got a weird look from Raph in the living room.
Donnie sat at the old table still in the barn from the first time they came here.
He carefully placed the equipment he could bring with him up.
Tomorrow when Casey came up to the farm house he could set up the rest of his equipment and start testing the chemical that changed them and then work on a cure.
"Hey Donnie I was looking for you," April said entering the barn and offering him a sandwich.
"Oh sorry," Donnie blushed a bit them accepted the sandwich, "I was getting everything ready for tomorrow."
"I see," April said walking over holding her arms to shield them from the cold; she forgot to get her jacket from Mikey.
"Are you cold?" Donnie asked taking his jacket off and placed it on her shoulders.
"Thanks but you needed it more," April said offering the purple coat back.
"No its fine hold on to it," Donnie replied going back to his work.
"You want me to bring a heater out here for you? April insisted.
"I guess, if it's not too much trouble," Donnie asked unsure if he should ask for any favors of anyone.
"Yeah it's fine," April replied and went to grab one of the portable heaters.
Right after April left Donnie immediately brought his hands to his arms, "Wow its cold."
April walked pasted Splinters room and heard Leo and him talking hushly.
She went through the living room seeing Raph mumbling and flipping through wrestling channels.
Up the stairs and past the boys bathroom to hear Mikey humming loudly.
Grabbed the heater and made her way back to Donnie.
'Yep happily single to mother of four in one day,' April sighed and made her way to the barn.
