Sheri:
I nearly dropped the plates as I looked at them all. They were all in a dogpile; Michelangelo on the bottom, then Donatello, then Leonardo, and on top, Raphael.
"I win." Raph snickered at his brothers below him.
"Umm...Lunchtime?" I said, still in shock.
"Lunch?" Mikey said as he stood up very quickly, causing his brothers to go toppling over onto their shells. He then took the plate out of my hands and ran off into his room with it, shutting and locking the door.
Raph had gotten up and ran to Mikey's door.
"Mike! Get your shell outta there! We're hungry too!" He yelled as he began banging on it.
"So help me Mikey, I'll break the door down!" He threatened.
Even at a young age, Raph had a big temper and threatened Mikey. I guess some things never change. A curious Leonardo and Donatello looked at me.
"Who are you?" asked Leo.
"You don't remember?" I asked.
They both shook their heads.
"Where's Master Splinter?" Don asked crossing his arms.
"He took a vacation." I said.
"Oh." Don answered.
"Are you our baby-sitter?" Leo asked.
"Uhh...Yeah...that's it. I'm your baby-sitter. My name's Sheri." I put my hand out for them to shake. Don and Leo shook my hand and then Raph came over grumbling things under his breath. All I caught was "shell for brains and booger eater."
I put my hand out for the young Raph to shake, but he didn't. I put my hand back to my side and stood up straight. They looked so tiny now. Even though the tops of their heads came up to an inch above my belly button. And I was 5' 1". Just an inch shorter than what the guys used to be.
"Make Mikey share the sandwiches if you're our baby-sitter." Raph commanded, pointing to the door.
I sighed in annoyance. Me, taking orders from an 8 year old! Who would've thought it?
I knocked on Mikey's door.
"Mike...come out with the sandwiches." I commanded. No response.
"Okay, come out or I'll ground you from your Playstation for a month.
The door opened and there stood Mike with the plate and 6 sandwiches.
Thank goodness Angel and I had already ate our sandwiches in the kitchen because as soon as he had opened the door, Don, Leo, and Raph all grabbed two sandwiches and begun eating. Where was Angel?
I looked over by the couch and noticed Sesame Street was playing and a little elbow was resting on the arm rest. Close one.
"Look, Sesame Street is on!" I said, pointing to the tv.
"Maybe you should all go watch it." I suggested.
"Okay!" Came three of the turtles' voices.
Mike, Don, and Leo ran to the couch and sat down. Apparently, they were amused by the tv because I didn't hear anyone talking about Angel.
I picked up the plate Mike dropped and looked up to see Raphael studying me.
"Where did my Sensei go?" He asked.
"Like I said, on vacation." I said.
He didn't look totally convinced, but he walked over to the tv area and looked at me one more time before he sat on the rug in front of the tv.
I went into the kitchen and started washing the plate that used to have sandwiches. I started cleaning the rest of the kitchen too. I had just gotten done and looked at the clock.
3:00pm
The turtles and Angel had been very quiet...too quiet.
CRASH!
I knew it wouldn't last. I ran into the living room.
Don was sitting on the couch, reading a Dr. Seuss book.
Angel, Leo, and Raph stood, shoulder to shoulder, in front of a stooped over Mikey that looked like he was sweeping something up with his hands very carefully.
I walked up to them, hands on my hips and not looking happy. The only innocent one here looked to be Don.
"Alright, what happened?" I asked.
Angel, Raph, and Leo looked at their feet. Not saying a word.
"Tell me. Leonardo?" I asked crossing my arms.
Leo opened his mouth for a second, but was nudged by Raph, and closed his mouth.
"Okay. I can call Master Splinter in 2 seconds." I said opening my shell-cell. "If I don't get an explanation, I'll ask him to come back. And you guys don't want to face an angry Splinter, do you?" I asked, threateningly.
"No," came four voices. Don still remained burried in his book.
"Okay, then. Raphael, what happened?" I asked.
He sighed and then said hurriedly, "We were playin' tag and then Leo pushed Mike too hard and knocked him into the smaller table with the vase on it. Then the vase fell over and broke." They all tried to give me that innocent look. I knew I was going to have to be firm. Now it was my turn to sigh.
"Wait a second," Leo began, "I didn't push Mike! You did it!" He looked at Raphael.
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"You're lying!" Raph pointed his finger at Leo.
"I am not!"
"That's right! Splinter's little pet doesn't lie. I remember now!" Raph yelled and crossed his arms. They kept going, and going, and going.
"ENOUGH!" I shouted.
"Both of you, ten flips. NOW!" I commanded. Flips, I cringe at the thought. After doing 5, you get a little tired of them and it kind of drives you insane doing the same thing over and over again. And it tires you out faster.
"What for?" Raph asked.
"Cuz I said to. Now get going or I will call Master Splinter." I threatened.
"Fine..." Both of them said with their heads hung.
Now, with only Angel guarding him, Mike looked up at me.
"We didn't mean to." He said innocently.
"I know. Let's just clean this up." I said. I asked Angel to get me the broom and she did. I sweeped up the broken glass and threw it away.
Leo and Raph had finished their flips. Now, Angel and the little turtles were all staring at me.
"Am I missing something?" I asked.
"Yeah. We're supposed to do something." Mikey commented.
"Like what?" I asked.
"Something together. That's what Master Splinter does when he's here." Don said.
"Okay. Any ideas?" I asked.
"Football!" Raph shouted.
"Basketball!" Leo said.
"Skateboarding!" Mikey said as he imitated himself skateboarding.
"Reading." Don muttered.
"Angel?" I asked.
"Football!" She said, agreeably.
"Football it is then." I said. We walked to the dojo area and cleared everything. I grabbed Older Raph's nerf football and went back to the dojo. We started playing.
Me and Raph versus Leo, Don, Mike, and Angel.
Seeing how me and Raph were the best players, I'd say giving the other team more players was only fair.
It was the third quarter. Me and Raph could only win if we got this touchdown.
"Hut! Hut! Hike!" Raph called as he hiked me the ball.
He ran out into the middle of the others and then cut to the left with a free touchdown. As I was going to throw the ball, the phone rang.
"Time-out!" I called.
"You can't call a time-out during the play!" Mike called out.
"Do I need to call Splin-"
"No." Mike interrupted.
I picked up the phone.
"Hello?" I answered.
"I want my daughter back..." said a gruff-like voice.
I gulped.
