Chapter 10 "Isn't it Obvious?"

May and Lacy were afraid as they were thrown into their cells. They huddled together. Krang and Shredder watched as the two girl turtles tried to get as far away from them as possible. They knew that Shredder and Krang were crazy and they didn't want to have anything to do with them.

"What's the matter girls, don't you like us?" asked Bebop.

"Actually, we prefer guys who act like humans," said Lacy in her Russian accent.

"We act like humans," said Rocksteady.

"You sure could have fooled me," said May.

"It's okay, girls. I don't even think they act human," said Shredder.

"Amazing, we have something in common," whispered Lacy to May.

"But you might as well get use to this, you'll be here for a long time," said Shredder.

"Wait a minute! You mean you're never going to change us back?" yelled May.

"That's not completely true. I would love to but unfortunately, there is no way. You're stuck like this forever," said Shredder softly.

Shredder walked away with Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang. Shredder's cape flew behind him as he walked off.

Lacy and May moved away from each other and sat next to each other on one of the little beds provided for them in their little cell. They wanted to get out but were unable to do so.

"Hey, Lacy, do you think he meant what he said?" asked May.

"I wish I knew. I just don't know. I mean, if there is a way to change back, we may have a lot of experimenting to do," said Lacy.

"Yes, I suppose you're right. Times, we would even have to worry about getting what we need to figure out what we need to experiment. Not to mention we have to get out of here first, " sighed May.

"Don't give up hope yet. We'll get out of here. I know we will. Besides, Nicole and Lin are still out there with those turtles," said Lacy.

"That's true but let's remember that those two hate each other with a heated passion. I'm just afraid that they're both dead because they tried to kill each other," said May.

"Well, they should be with the turtles and I think that they would keep those two from killing each other," laughed Lacy.

"Very true. Besides, I think that Leonardo would keep them from doing so. After all I think Leonardo likes Lin anyway," said May.

"What makes you say that?" asked Lacy.

"Oh come on, didn't you see the way he looked at her? It was so funny! I mean, when he was walking over to us, he had his eye on her the whole time," laughed May.

"If that's so then why did he go to Nicole?" asked Lacy.

"I don't know how to explain this but Linnea gives guys an odd aura that makes her harder to approach. Nicole on the other hand is the type that guys find easier to approach. It's messed up but it's true. Many guys have said that to me," said May.

"That makes no sense," said Lacy.

"Hey, men aren't supposed to make sense! Look at the turtles! Look at.well.Shredder," said May.

"Very nice example of insanity," joked Lacy.

The two girls laughed at Shredder. They knew that this guy was obviously insane. They relaxed a bit. They knew that Nicole and Linnea were probably safe with the turtles and were probably thinking of a way to make a rescue for them.

"Hey May, what do you think will happen when they come to find us?" asked Lacy.

"Well, judging from what happened last time, there will probably be another big fight between Shredder and the turtles. Linnea and Nicole will probably be told to stay and being them, they won't listen. They'll come anyway. They'll come and get us out and Shredder will fall," said May.

"Do you think that will really happen?" asked Lacy.

"Well, that's always what happens in books and movies," said May.

Lacy laughed. The optimism of May was something that was always there.

"That's nice but this is real life we're talking about," said Lacy.

"Well, I'm sure it will happen, I have no doubts," said May.

May moved off the bed and went to another. She laid down and fell asleep. Lacy laid on her bed and looked up. The lights had gone off. Well, Nicole, Linnea, if you two are going to get along ever, now's the time, thought Lacy as she fell asleep.
