Chapter 16
"Playboy attacks"
We all agreed to the living arrangements. Leonardo and Donatello started to move their stuff out. Leonardo told Donatello to leave the posters up to give the room some color until we got our own stuff. Leonardo noticed one of his books out of the book case. He found it on his old bed, now my bed. He looked at me as I started to lift a box.
"Are you reading this?" he asked.
I looked at him.
"What? Oh, yes, I was just getting into it before May jumped on me," I said.
"Okay. It's a good book. I'll leave this with you. I've got several others if you want to read them," he said.
I smiled at him and thanked him. I started to bring the box into Raphael and Mikey's room. Their room was a toxic waste dump. As I went towards Leonardo's new bed, I lost my footing and slipped. Mikey caught the box while Raph caught me.
"Thanks. I owe you guys so much," I said looking up at Raphael's black eyes.
"Naw, don't worry about it. Are you okay?" asked Raphael.
"Yea. I don't know what I slipped on but I'm fine. Thanks Raphael," I said, slightly embarrassed as I was put upright.
"Call me Raph and don't worry about it," he said.
I looked down to see what I could have possibly have slipped on. Just then, I saw a magazine. It was ripped as if someone had slipped on it. I guessed that was what I had slipped on. I saw that Nicole was coming in and heading for the magazine. I ran over and somersaulted to pick it up. The guys watched in amazement as I snatched the magazine to keep Nicole from falling. I got up and looked at the cover.
"This month's Playboy issue. Hmm.How interesting. Gee, I guess I shouldn't be surprised," I said.
"Dude! You've got this month's Playboy issue! Why didn't you tell me?" asked Mikey.
I walked over and put it in Raph's chest. I didn't really care. They were guys and I figured that guys would be guys. I looked over at Nicole who was just laughing. I walked over to her. She looked at me and we left the room.
"What happened? I heard Nicole laughing again," asked Leonardo.
"Oh, nothing. I just slipped on this month's Playboy issue," I said, slightly disgusted.
"I hope they get rid of those soon," said Leonardo.
"Right, you can't tell me that you don't look at them too," laughed Nicole.
"I don't. I'm not into that stuff," said Leonardo as he continued to bring his stuff into the new room.
Nicole and I ran into our new room. I looked back at our path.
"Doesn't look at porn, I like that in a man," I said.
"Yea but too bad he's not human," Nicole laughed.
"Oh shut up!" I laughed.
"Okay, who are you and what have you done to Linnea and Nicole?" asked May.
"We had a long talk and realized we've hated each other for very, very, very stupid reasons," said Nicole.
"This is amazing. I thought that nothing could get you two to get along," said May.
"Well, things change," I said.
May shook her head. Lacy soon came in with Donatello with two bed frames. They placed them in the room. Then in came the mattresses. Donatello packed up his things and moved out in no time. The girls and I were left in our new room together. We had two dressers to work with, two night tables, a desk, and four beds. Our room seemed very empty. The posters were very nice but they were not quite us.
"You know, I think we need to do some rearranging," said May.
"You think?" asked Nicole.
"Well, how do we want to do this?" I asked.
We all looked at each other. Evil grins came over us. We moved our beds against the walls and then we slowly fit in the other furniture. The center of the room was left empty so we could just sit and talk. I placed a few lamps around and we waited for the guys' friend, April to bring us what we needed.
It wasn't long before April did come. She introduced herself to us. She was very nice. Her red hair seemed to flow around her face.
"I brought a few other things so you girls can have a room that actually looks like a girl's room," she said.
"Thanks April," we all said.
She helped us strategically place new posters, sheets, and other little things that we liked. She was told that we were all into anime and J-pop, Japanese pop, so she brought a few posters of a few artists. I took the S.E.S. poster. In no time, it was officially a girl's room.
"I hope the guys don't drive you crazy," April said.
"No, they just leave Playboy magazines out for Lin to kill herself on," joked Nicole.
"They didn't try that with me. I'm glad they didn't too," April laughed.
"Am I ever going to live that down?" I asked, sick of the story being told repeatedly.
"Hmm.no," said Lacy.
"Oh great," I said.
"Don't worry. One day, I'll have to have the guys bring you up to my apartment and we'll have a girl's night out," said April.
"That sounds good," I said.
"Single girl's night out," she said.
"Sounds really good," said May.
"Well, I've got to get to work. It was nice meeting you girls," said April.
"It was nice meeting you," I said.
We said our good byes and settled into our new room. Since we had our door closed, the guys hadn't seen what was happening in here. There was a knock on our door. I ran and answered it. Mikey stood in the door way.
"Holy cow! You girls made this into a girl room already," cried Mikey.
"Yep and we love it! April's got good taste," said May.
"Leo, Don! Come see you're old room," yelled Mikey.
Leonardo, Raph, and Donatello ran into the room. They were amazed at how fast their room was transformed.
"Well, to welcome you to the family, a friend and I brought you a poster. It's to commemorate the first funny memory we had together," said Raph.
He handed me a poster. I looked at him curiously. Slowly, I took the plastic wrapping off it and I opened it up. I closed it.
"Raph, I don't know whether to thank you or to kill you," I said.
"What is it?" asked Lacy.
"A black Playboy Bunny with a pink background," I answered.
"Well, it created a memory," said Nicole.
"Unfortunately," I said.
"Here, I've got just the place," said Nicole as she hung it on the back of the door so Master Splinter wouldn't see it.
"That's a good place for it," said Mikey, relieved.
"Don't worry, we're not stupid," May said.
"Speaking of Playboy, I don't want to find them in the room. So make them disappear," said Leonardo.
"Oh come on, Leo," said Mikey.
"No, I don't care. They will make a nice fire if I find them," he said.
Raph and Mikey ran towards their room to hide their magazines. Leonardo and Donatello shook their heads and left us to enjoy their new room.
We all agreed to the living arrangements. Leonardo and Donatello started to move their stuff out. Leonardo told Donatello to leave the posters up to give the room some color until we got our own stuff. Leonardo noticed one of his books out of the book case. He found it on his old bed, now my bed.
