Ann: This is random. But just to let you all know, in the summary, I said that most of the stories are true. I don't have any turtles. There's no ShellShock, Electric or anything. But they are real. I have two turtles named that but they don't live with me. I know. That was random. You probably didn't want to know that but I didn't want to lie to you guys.
Chapter 45
That night...
"There! That medicine should do it." Donny finished giving Electric her medicine.
"That's it?" I asked.
"Yep. All I need to do is give this medicine to her two times a day for three days."
"Ok. Then she'll be better?"
"Yep."
"Can we get her her own tank?"
"Maybe."
"Great..."
"What's that for?" Donny asked.
"When and adult says 'maybe', it means no." I explained.
"I thought that that was for 'we'll see'."
"It is. But it's also for 'maybe'."
"Alright, I'm not going to argue. How about when we get back down to the lair, we won't get her her own tank, but we'll get ShellShock and Electric a bigger tank. And they can both share, ok?"
"Ok." I took the tank and went into my room.
"You said we would get a bigger tank for her?" Raph asked.
"Not for her. For the turtles." Donny said.
"But you still said we would get one."
"Yeah, so?"
"So? So, we can't get a bigger tank!"
"Why?"
"Because their turtles! We can't spoil them as much as we spoil her!"
"Look, do you want to be crammed in a little jar again?"
"No."
"Then we're getting them a bigger tank!"
"But that's not a jar! That's a tank!"
"What's going on?" Leo came into the kitchen.
"Raph's not letting me buy ShellShock, Sapphire, and Electric a bigger tank!" Donny yelled.
"TATTLETALE! GO TO JAIL!" Raph yelled.
"Listen--" Leo started.
"SHUT UP!" Donny yelled at Raph.
"Excuse me! You don't talk to me like that!" Leo yelled.
"I wasn't talking to you! I was yelling at Raph!" Donny glared at Raph.
"We'll get a bigger tank for them when we get home! I don't get why you guys are puting up a big fuss over it!"
I came into the room. "Fuss over what?"
"Nothing. Don't get anything to eat! I'm making dinner." Leo said.
"I'm not. I'm just going to the bathroom." I left.
"Now, both of you, just knock it off!" Leo yelled but not loud enough for me to hear.
"I'll be in my room." Donny left.
Leo walked over to the stove. "Really, Raph. Why are you pulling a big fuss? It's just a bigger tank for ShellShock and Electric. They need their own space. Like we do. I mean, you should understand on why they need their own space. Their just like us. Only, except for the mutanting part and ahh...the ninja thing and all."
"Well, lately I've been thinking that we spoil Sapphire too much. Plus, now we're going to be spoiling the turtles. And the don't even know the difference!" Raph sat down.
"Yes they do. Surely you don't remember on what happened when we didn't know Master Splinter and we weren't mutanted and stuff."
"Yeah, I do remember..."
Mikey and Donny walked in. "What's for dinner?" Donny asked.
"Is it ready, yet?" Mikey asked.
"It's ready right now." Leo put some food on the table. "Raph? Will you go get Sapphire? I think she's in her room."
"Fine..." Raph's voice drifted off as he went into my room. he looked around and went back to the table. "She's not there."
"She's not there?" Leo and Mikey asked.
"What do you mean she's not there?" Donny asked.
"She's-not-there." Raph answered simply.
"Thank you for that very long explaination on why Sapphire isn't in her room." Mikey glared at Raph.
I came out of the bathroom. "Does anyone have a pad?"
"Where were you?" Leo asked.
"In the bathroom."
"Oh. Yeah, you told us that."
"Right."
"What do you need?" Donny asked.
"A pad. I don't think any of you would have one, but just to ask."
Everyone stared at me blankly.
Finally Mikey piped up. "What's a pad?"
"A pad? Oh God. Maybe you'll know it if I tell you this--I got my period." I said.
Everyone stared at me again.
Mikey rose his hand. "What's a period?"
"Mikey! You dummyhead!" Raph yelled. "You don't know what a period is?"
"At least SOMEONE knows what it is!" I whispered to myself.
"It's a little dot that you pt at the end of a sentence!" Raph said.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh! Why do you need a pad for that?" Mikey turned to me.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I sat down. "When you DON'T have your period, you have sex with a guy, you CAN NOT get pregnant! When you DO have your period, you have sex with a guy, you CAN get pregnant! Get it?" I explained.
"So, again, why do you need a pad?" Mikey asked.
"So my underwear doesn't get all bloodly!"
"Ewwww..."
"Oh, God!"
"Wait a minute, if your ten, and I'm 15, how come I didn't get my period?" Mikey asked.
"No. No. No! Only GIRLS get it. Not boys. And you want to know why? BECAUSE ONLY GIRLS CAN GET PREGNANT!" I yelled.
"Oh good! Because, I was just going to say, why didn't Master Splinter tell us about it and I don't wear clothes. So I don't have any underwear. And if I don't have any underwear--"
"We get it Mikey. We get it..." Raph shut him up.
"Boys wear boxers." I said.
"And you would know that how--?" Mikey asked.
"I really need another older girl living with us!"
