Chapter 76
"Where are we?" Mikey asked.
"I don't know." I answered.
"You don't know? This is your school!"
"So?"
"So you should know!"
"I'm tired."
"Tough! Where are we?"
"I don't know!"
"You better know! Or I'll--"
"Vinalla, you sound like Raph! That's a bad thing!"
"I know it is...but I don't want to be stuck in here! I'm hungry!"
"Vinalla, we just ate. You have a dozen bag of chips. How can you be hungry?"
"I'm a bottemless pit, sue me." Mikey said.
"I will sue." I replied.
"No you won't."
"I have a lawyer."
"No you don't."
"You never knew my Father..." I went ahead.
"Your--what?" Mikey ran to catch up with me. "Your dad? You had a dad?"
"Duh!"
"You did? When?"
"Before I found you guys."
"Who was he?"
"I'd rather not talk about him now, thank you very much!"
"No, why'd you run away?"
"Who said I ran away?"
"Nobody. But then what happened?"
"I told you, I don't want to talk about it."
"Will we ever meet him?"
"I don't know. For all I know hecould be dead." I said.
"I wanna meet him!" Mikey yelled.
"Vinalla, shut up! You can't! Like I said, he could be dead..."
"Well--"
"Just drop it."
"--Ok..."
BEEP!
"WHAT WAS THAT?" Mikey jumped.
"Your thing." I answered.
BEEP!
"My what?" Mikey asked.
"Your thing!" I answered.
"What thing?"
BEEP!
"YOUR WALKIE!" I yelled.
"What walkie?" Mikey asked.
"What do you mean what walkie? THE THING THAT'S IN YOUR HAND!"
BEEP!
"Oh. This?" Mikey held up his walkie.
"Yes!" I replied. "That thing!"
"Oh. Ok." Mikey pressed three buttons. "How do you work this thing?" Mikey looked all over it.
"YOU PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE SIDE!" one of the turtles yelled through.
Mikey pressed the button. "Oh. Who is this?"
"Santa."
"Really? Cool! Can I have a pony?" Mikey asked sweetly.
I grabbed the walkie from Mikey. "Screw Ball, what do you want?"
"Where are you?" Raph asked.
"She doesn't know!" Mikey answered.
"You don't know? How can you not know? This is--"
"My school! I know." I cut off Raph.
"Well then--"
"I'M TIRED!"
"And hungry!" Mikey added.
"You shut up!" I yelled.
"Excuse me?" Raph asked.
"Not you! Mikey!" I yelled.
"Oh. Yeah shut up!" Raph agreed.
"What did I do?" Mikey asked.
"Your being you..." Raph answered.
"But that's what everybody wants...they all say 'Be yourself!'. Right?"
"Dummy."
"Don't call me that!"
"Why'd you call?" I pushed Mikey away.
"Do you know where Leo and Don are?" Raph asked.
"I'm sorry, who?" I asked.
Raph sighed. "Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough."
"I have no idea." I replied.
"Well then--I--you--AGH!" Raph yelled.
"Somebody needs a nap!" Mikey said.
"Shut up!" Raph yelled again.
"Why do you want to know?" I asked.
"I found a way out."
"YOU DID? YES!"
"DON'T DANCE! Not yet, anyway."
"Why?"
"Because I don't know if we'll be able to fit! You probably would fit...but that wouldn't help anybody..."
"Yes it would! It would help me! So I can dance now!"
"No! You can't!"
"Why?" I asked.
"Because we're not allowing you to leave this school unless we all can leave! Besides, this is your fault!" Raph answered
"If somebody would just say yes to me and come here with me like I asked, then it wouldn't be my fault, now would it?"
"Well--"
"Don't fight! Let's just find CC and CCCD and get ou of here!" Mikey said.
"Ok! Screw Ball, stay on!" I said.
"Stop calling me Screw Ball!" Raph replied.
"Why? It suits you."
"No, it suits you. And Mikey."
"Don't you dis me!" Mikey yelled.
"I just did!" Raph answered.
"BEES! AHHHHHHHHHHH!" I saw a sworm of bees chasing two green blurs.
"I think I found them!" I said.
"Good!" Raph answered. "Bring them up stairs to where the science room is!"
"Ok! CHOCOLATE CHIP! CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH! OVER HERE!"
In the Science room...
"See? The door was closed so the alarm didn't go off in here. We can go out through the windows!" Raph said.
"Can we all fit?" Donny asked.
"Hopefully." Leo answered.
Mikey made himself fit through the window. "Yes! We can all fit!"
"Good! Let's go!" Leo and Donny started heading out the windows.
I saw the bees pass. "Not until we get the bees back in the bee-keeping room!"
"Aww, it never ends!" Raph yelled.
