Chapter 43

"RAPH! HELP US GET EVERYTHING IN THE COTTAGE!" Leo yelled at Raph while trying to get the trunk open.

"This is a nice cottage." I smiled.

"Yeah it is." Leo turned to look at it and smiled.

"Come on, ShellShock...let's go explore the house." I went into the cottage with my turtle.

Mikey and Donny got out of the BattleShell and started taking some things out of it.

Raph came over dripping wet. "The lake feels nice."

"I can tell. Now help." Donny took everybody's suitcase out of the car.

In the cottage I walked in through the side door. When I walked in, I was in the kitchen. No door, wall, or anything like that, seperated the living room from the kitchen. So I walked in, I was in the kitchen and strait ahead there was the living room. I went into the living room and took a left. There was a bedroom with a queen-sized bed. I went back into the living room and took a right. There was a porch. Couch, tv, bed, screen door, and six giant windows! The screen door was the back door. There isn't a front door. (ANN:I don't why. This is the cottage that I always go up to.) I looked out the windows and the door. There was a beach, picnic table and a huge lake outside. Then I went through the kitchen again and took a left. I went down a hallway. On the left was the bathroom. On the right was another bedroom with one single bed, and one pair of bunk-beds. Then I just went strait and there was another bedroom. Bigger than the other two, and it had a king-sized bed. Then I went back out into the kitchen and started to see if there was any food in the cabnits.

Donny walked in. "Did you see the lake?"

"Yep." I answered.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm hungry."

"Well, help us unload the car first and then we'll all have lunch and explore the cottage."

"I already explored the cottage."

"So?"

"So, I want to hang out."

"Where?"

"In my bedroom." I said simply.

"Do you know where it is?" he asked.

"No."

Donny lead me to my room. I had the room with the queen-sized bed.

"Where are you guys sleeping?" I asked putting ShellShock back into his tank.

"Raph's sleeping in the porch, Leo gets the king-sized bed, Mikey gets top bunk, I get single bed." Donny pouted.

"You and Mikey have to share a room?"

"Yeah..."

"God, I feel bad for you..."

"That's what Raph said. Only he was laughing."

"That's Raph for ya!" I jumped onto my bed.

"Yep. Hey, listen to me. Everybody's in their rooms unpacking. I want you to unpack now, too, ok?" Donny said as he started to leave the room.

"Ok."

"Alright. You know where to find me." he left.

"ShellShock? Do you think it's gonna be fun up here? I do. And I don't think. I know. I also know that MIKEY BETTER GET AWAY FROM THE DOOR WITH WATER BALLOONS!" I started to yell.

"Awwwwwwwwww..." I heard Mikey though the door.

I started to talk to ShellShock again. "Donny said that we would have lunch after we unloaded the car. How come we're not having lunch now?" I went into Mikey's and Donny's room.

"MIKEY! STOP JUMPING ON MY BED NOW!" Donny yelled.

"Hi." I shut the door behind me.

"Oh, hi."

"When are we having lunch?"

"Shoot! That's right!" Donny ran out of the room. "We haven't even been here for two hours and we're already disorganized!"

"We?" I asked.

"Yeah. We."

I glared at him.

"Ok. The boys. No girls. The boys are disorganized." Donny corrected himself while glaring at me back.

"And all the turtles are organized just like the girl."

"What?"

"All the regular turtles I mean."

"Fine."

"What's for lunch?" Raph and Mikey walked in.

"Ok. I have this whole day planned out for us!" Leo walked in with a list. "First: we eat lunch. Then, we wait 30 minutes by watching tv, then we can go in the lake. After we come out of the lake and we're all dry and everything, we have an early dinner. Then go outside and talk. Guess what we're gonna do after that?"

"What?" everyone sounded bored.

"Go out on the grill, make smores, eat them, make popcorn, and eat the popcorn while watching a movie. And since at home, it was supposed to be Sapphire's turn to pick out the movie--she gets to pick it out tonight..." Leo had a worried look.

"This is gonna be fun!" I smiled evilly.

Lunch...

"Peanut butter and jelly?" I asked.

"Yeah." Donny said. "Mikey made it."

"I don't like peanut butter and jelly. You know that! I REALLY don't like it when Mikey makes it!" I pushed my plate away.

"Then what do you want?" Leo asked.

"I don't care."

"Then eat the peanut butter and jelly!" Raph said.

"I said I don't like peanut butter and jelly!" I glared at him.

"Fine! You can have ceral!" Raph got up and grabbed me the Frosted Flakes.

"Thanks!" I smiled.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." Raph sat back down.

There was a few minutes of silence. "COOL!" I yelled.

"What?" Mikey asked.

"There was a prize in the box!"

"Oh, great! She got it! I'll get the next one!"

It was 30 minutes later after lunch. Insted of watching tv, we all just did our own little thing in out rooms or wherever. Then we went in the lake!

Outside...

"Everybody ready to jump in the lake together?" Leo asked.

"No!" Raph yelled.

"Hurry up!"

"Why are you telling me that?"

"Are you ready?"

"Yes."

"Then why did you say no?" Leo asked.

"Because I don't know where Sapphire is!" Raph explained.

"SAPPHIRE!" Mikey yelled.

"I'm here!" I answered.

"Where?" Donny asked.

"Here!" I yelled.

"Where!" Raph yelled.

"In the water! Behind the tree!" I said.

Leo walked forward and saw me waving to him. "What are you doing?"

"Swimming. What do ya think?" I said.

"We're all jumping in together, though!"

"I'll watch."

"But--no!" Leo started jumping up and down.

"Oh, stop it!" Raph pushed him in the lake.

Leo screamed and grabbed on to Raph's arm trying to stay on. But Raph fell in. Before he fell in he tried to stay up so he grabbed Donny and then Donny grabbed Mikey and a chain of turtles fell into the lake, and I clapped for them.

Dinner...

"We better not be having peanut butter and jelly for dinner tonight." I said.

"Nope!" Raph was serving. "We're having chicken."

"But I don't like chicken."

"Yes you do." Leo said.

"Who cooked?" I asked.

"Today's my day to cook all the meals. So, I did." Mikey said.

"Yeah, see? That's why I don't like it! Mikey cooked it! I hate things when Mikey cooks. That's why I starve myself every Monday and Thursday!" I said.

"Sapphire, eat it!" Donny took a bite.

"No... Leo? Will you re-cook this for me?" I asked.

"Why?" Leo asked.

"Because I don't like it!"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Your mean." I said.

"I'm mean?" Leo asked.

"Yeah. Your worse than that!"

"..."

The next thing I knew, Leo had my plate and was re-cooking my dinner.

Back outside...

"What do you want to talk about?" Leo asked.

"Food. I'm hungry." Mikey said.

"We just had dinner." Donny said.

"I know. But I think Sapphire's right." Mikey watched me playing in the sand. "I don't like my chicken!" Mikey stuck his tounge out.

"Idiot." Raph said.

"I think we should bring Sapphire over here and ask her if she has an idea for the movie?" Leo asked.

"Sure. Why not?" Donny answered.

"Sapphire!" Leo yelled.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Come here!" Leo yelled.

I went over. "What?"

"Do you have the movie all picked out, yet?"

"No."

"Oh. I thought you did."

"Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you because it's supposed to be a suprise! REMEMBER?" I walked off.

"O-k then..." Leo watched me go back over to playing in the sand.

A few minutes later...

"Sapphire! Come here! We're going to make smores now!" Raph yelled.

"Ok!" I ran over.

"Find a stick and I'll give you a marshmellow." Leo said.

"Ok." I started to find a stick.

Mikey had a stick that had five branches on it. So he had five marshmellows. All five of us were just sitting there by the grill waiting for them to heat up. Then, we got a big suprise (now this REALLY happened!)! My marshmellow caught on fire. Leo screamed, Donny screamed, I screamed, Raph put it out, and Mikey ran away.

Inside...

"What time is it?" I asked.

"8:00." Leo answered. "Why don't you go get the movie and Mikey and I will make the popcorn. And pick out a movie that's two hours long! That way we can all go to bed at ten."

"Ok." left to go get the movies out of my room.

Raph and Donny were sitting on the couch. "She have better picked a good movie." Raph said to Donny.

"I know that's right!" Donny said.

Leo and Mikey sat down with the popcorn and I came out. "I'm going to let you all vote on a movie." I said.

"Ok. What are the choices?" Leo asked.

"They better be good choices, too!" Raph added.

"They are." I held the two movies up. "Winnie The Pooh or Winnie The Pooh?"

"This is going to be a long movie!" Raph slouched down.

After the movie we all said good night and went to bed. In my room...

"ShellShock, this is going to be the best night ever! We can stay up all night! ShellShock? ShellShock?" I looked at the tank closer to see him better. "And I see your already sleeping..."
