Chapter 68
"What?" Donny asked.
"I left the button in the lair." Leo replied.
"Why did you do that?"
"Because we had to leave the lair in a hurry and it was unexpected!"
"Leo, we've been stuck in here for two hours! We can't go back to the lair in another day (or around there)!"
"I know! I'm sorry!"
"Sorry doesn't cut it! Sapphire and I need to get out now!"
"Don't worry! It'll be fine! Wait, why do you wana get out now? April's still pregnant, ya know!"
"Speaking of April, what happened to the baby?" I asked.
"Sapphire shut up!" Donny said.
"Did you hear me? I asked why you wanted to get out now. April's here." Leo repeated.
"Yeah, I heard you!" Donny said.
"Can't you just ask him really quick?" I asked.
"Shut up!" Donny said.
"So what's your answer?" Leo asked.
"Sapphire is driving me nuts!" Donny answered.
"I heard that!" I yelled.
Donny rolled his eyes.
"Oh. Then that is an emergency..." Leo said.
"Hey! I heard that, too!" I yelled.
Donny whipped around. "Sapphire! Shut-up! What part of that, don't you understand?"
"All of it." I answered.
"Well then, just shut up!" Donny turned back to the phone.
"Don, you still there?" Leo asked.
"Yes, I'm stil here!" Donny said.
"Ok. Can you tell me where you guys are? Maybe there's something on the outside of the battle shell--"
"Leo! Did you not here me? I said we're locked in!"
"You can't see the outside can you?"
"Ya think?"
"All right, Raph and I will drive around and see if we can find you, ok?"
"Ok. But how come your going to leave Mikey behind?" Donny asked.
"Casey needs help with April." Leo replied.
"So you chose Mikey?"
"It's so he doesn't annoy me in the car!"
"Oh, ok!"
"I'll see you later!"
"I can't!"
"Never mind! Bye!"
"Yeah, yeah!" Donny hung up the phone.
"So, what's going on with April's baby?" I asked.
"I didn't ask him that!" Donny answered.
"What? Why?"
"Because we have more important things now!"
"Like what?"
"Raph and Leo are going to drive around and try to find us."
"But I thought the button worked anywhere?"
"That's true, but don't you remember what he said?"
"No."
"He left it in the lair!"
"What? And you guys think that I'm stupid!" I sat down.
Donny rolled his eyes. "So anyway, their going to try to drive around and look for us."
"What are they going to do if they find us?"
"Their going to look over the battle shell and see if there's a button on the outside!"
"And if there isn't a button?"
"Then we'll have to live in this thing until we can go back to the lair!" Donny smiled.
"Why are you smiling at that?" I asked.
"I'm being sarcastic, dummy!"
"Oh. So then what will really happen if there isn't a button?"
"I just said--never mind. We'll figure that out sooner or later!"
Ring! Ring!
I swiped the phone before Donny. "How's April's baby?" I asked.
"Listen to Leo's message again! Where's Donny?" Raph asked.
"One of the batteries fell out of the shell cell before he finished! Tell me!"
"She's on bed rest and she might miscarry! WHERE'S DONATELLO?"
"HA!" I threw the phone over my shoulder. "I was right! She might miscarry!"
"Your proud of that?" Donny asked.
"No, I'm proud of that you were wrong and I was right!" I smiled.
"Yeah, whatever! Just give me the phne!"
"The phone?"
"Yeah!"
"I--oops!" I turned around to grab it.
"You idiot!" Donny rushed over and grabbed it before I did. "Batteries in! Good! Hello? Hello? Leo?"
"It was Raph."
"Raph? What happened? I'm only getting static!" Donny glared at me. "Oh boy, am I going to--"
"Look! The shades and bars are going up!" I said.
"Donny!"
Donny looked out the window to see Raph and Leo calling his name.
"Don't kill her!" Leo yelled.
"Yeah! Let's get out of here!" Raph went back into the car and Leo and him drove off.
Back at April's house...
"Finally!" I yelled.
"Who's making dinner?" Mikey asked.
"I will!" I rose my hand.
"No you won't!" Raph put it back down.
"Anybody? Fine! I'm cooking! That means scrambled eggs again!" Mikey went into the kitchen.
"If I see one more egg...I'm going to barf!" Raph said.
"It's better than nothing!" Donny said.
"That was Master Splinter. He thinks it's safe to go back to the lair. Let's go!" Leo said.
Everybody said bye and thank you and Casey started crying because he knew April would start beating him up at any time.
As we were walking back down there, Donny turned to me. "So...about the lab."
