Author's Notes: Sorry for long awaited updated. Things have been really
crazy, and I haven't really had time to update at all. Only one chapter
now. I had the next chapter ready but I have to rewrite it. I'm hopping it
won't be too long for the next update. Keep reading and reviewing. Thanks.
Chapter Ten: Ten Minute Break:
"Hi, welcome to Pizza Palace. My name is Buffy, and I'll be your waitress today." Buffy said to April and Casey as they sat down at their table.
Casey laughed. "We know who you are."
"I know, but I have to say it." replied Buffy. "How have you guys been doing? I haven't seen you in awhile."
"We've both been busy." April answered. "I got a new lead on a story and Casey got a new job at a bar."
"Cool. Maybe we can all get together and go clubbing one night." suggested Buffy. "I know I could use a break."
April laughed. "Things been going that bad?"
"Somewhat." she answered.
A few days had passed, and she still really hadn't gotten to talk to Raph. Actually, he won't let her come near him. Then she learned of Mikey and Dawn getting closer. Things were not going as well as she hoped.
She came out of her thoughts, and said to April and Casey: "Okay guys, what will it be?"
"One large pizza with everything on it, and another one to go." Casey said. "We are going to take that one to the guys."
"I am too once I get off work." explained Buffy. She turned to April. "How about you?"
"I'm just going to have a salad with ranch dressing." she answered.
"Then she'll take some of my pizza." Casey said with a laugh.
"All right." Buffy wrote their orders on a note pad, and then she asked them what they wanted to drink.
"Diet coke." answered April.
"Coke for me." Casey told her.
"Okay, I'm going to get your orders ready and then I'll see if I can get a break so I can talk to you guys." Buffy left. After she had gotten their orders taken care of, she asked Sal if she could get her break since she hadn't had one yet, and he agreed, but it was only for ten minutes. She would get the rest of the break later that day.
After Buffy brought Casey and April their food and drinks she sat down with them. She sat next to April. "I only have a ten minute break." she told them.
"That's cool." replied Casey as he took a bite of pizza. He then offered her a slice.
"Thanks." Buffy said as she took his offer and grabbed a slice. She got free drinks when she worked so she also had her drink with her.
"So, how things with Raph?" asked April in a low whisper.
"Still nothing." she answered. "He won't look or talk to me."
"It's because of that Spike guy isn't it?" Casey asked.
"Yeah." she answered.
"He'll come around." assured April. "Trust me. He always does."
"I don't know." Buffy sighed.
"I agree with Buffy, that turtle is nothing but a hardhead." whispered Casey.
"Gee, thanks for your support." April said with an eye roll.
Casey laughed. "Anyway, what's this I hear about Mikey and your sister?"
"How did you hear about it?"
"The others told me about it when I went to visit them the other night. They said I just messed you."
"You visit late." Buffy said.
"They don't mind." replied Casey. "Anyway, how long has it been going on? The others are loving it. They pick on Mikey every chance they get."
"Great." groaned Buffy. "Well, Dawn really hasn't said anything about it. All I know is she calls him."
"They aren't dating are they?" April asked.
"NO!" answered Buffy quickly. "At least I hope not. I warned her she shouldn't."
"I know. When Raph was interested in me, I told him it was impossible. Humans and turtles don't mix." April sighed. "All though, I wish they were other female turtles for them, or they were human."
"I agree." Buffy said. "If they were human I wouldn't mind if Dawn was with them."
"That's never going to happen though." responded Casey through a mouth full of pizza.
"We can still wish right?" Buffy asked as she took sip of her drink. She looked at the clock and her break was almost over. She stood up. "Well, I better get back to work."
"Yeah, and we better get going." said Casey to April.
April nodded and the two got up as well. Casey left Buffy a five dollar tip. "I can't take this." Buffy said.
"Don't worry about it." said Casey with a smile. "Anyway, we are going to stop by the guys later. You want to join us?"
"I have to see." Buffy answered.
"Come on Buffy! Time to get back to work!" called Sal from the back.
"Well, come if you can." Casey told her and the friends parted.
Buffy went back to work. She didn't know if going back to the turtles was going to work. What was the point if Raph didn't want to talk to her? Plus, she didn't know if Spike wanted to go back either. She would have to see what he wanted to do.
"I'm home!" Buffy called as she entered the apartment. She saw Dawn doing her homework. "How was school?"
"Boring. But I did make some new friends." answered Dawn.
"That's good. Maybe you could bring them over one night uh?" Buffy asked her. "Anyway, where is Spike?"
"In the bed room." Dawn said. "Hey, are we going to see the turtles tonight?"
"I don't know." she answered. "We'll see."
Dawn watched as Buffy left and went into the bedroom. She hoped they would go see the turtles. Dawn couldn't wait to see Mikey again.
"Hey..." Buffy said to Spike once she got into the bedroom. She shut the door. Spike was on the bed. He had his blanket over him.
"How was work?" he asked Buffy.
"Fine. Saw April and Casey." she answered. "They invited us to go see the turtles tonight. I don't know though."
"Why?" Spike asked. Buffy told him about Dawn and Mikey.
"Oh, well I really don't see the problem with it." said Spike. "Yes, he's a turtle, but what would be wrong with Dawn getting closer to them?"
"Because our species can't mix." Buffy answered.
"Are you forgetting about us? And I know you don't want to hear about your old friends but Tara and Willow are witches, and Xander is engaged to a demon."
"I know... but still I just don't want her hurt." Buffy replied. "I don't think we'll go tonight." she sighed. "You know what, maybe moving here was a bad idea."
Outside, Dawn had heard them yelling, and wanted to see what was going on. She was outside their door. She didn't like the way Buffy was thinking. There had to be a way to get this whole mess fixed, and Dawn had a good idea on how she could fix everything.
