Chapter 79
"Page 785...?" Raph looked puzzled.
"What? What's wrong?" Leo asked.
"Blue book or red book?"
"Everyone's singing, so I guess red book."
"Are you sure?"
"...No."
"That's nice!"
Leo glaced at Mikey and saw he had the red book with sentences in it. He glanced at Donny with the blue book that had notes in it. "Blue book."
"Are you sure?" Raph asked.
Leo glanced at Mikey and then Donny again. "Positive."
"Leo?" Donny whispered.
"What?" Leo replied.
"I have to go!"
"Where?"
"Bathroom!"
"What? Oh, great!"
"Where is it?"
"I don't know! You have to wait!"
"I can't!"
"Didn't you go before we left?"
"Yes."
"Then why do you have to go now?"
"I don't know! Where is it?"
"Shut up! Everyone will hear you!" Leo yelled in a whisper.
"Sorry..." Donny whispered.
Someone growled.
"Mikey! Shut up!" Leo said.
"I have no control over it!" Mikey answered.
"Yes you do!"
"Not my stomache! I'm hungry! The only way I can control it is if I had something to eat...do you have food?"
"No!"
"Leo...I really have to pee!" Donny said.
"Don't say that!" Leo looked around.
"Why? I have to go!"
Mikey left the pue.
"Mikey! What are you doing?" Leo asked. Mikey went up to different people begging for food. "Mikey...you idiot!"
"Leo, this is boring!" Raph piped in."
"I don't care!" Leo yelled.
The whole church quieted.
"Ahh...sorry?" Leo smiled and waved.
Mikey came back. "Nobody has food!"
"Mikey you dumbell! Will you sit down and shut up?" Leo asked.
"Ok." Mikey sat down.
"What are you doing? Everyone's standing! Get up!" Leo said.
"You told me to sit down!"
"Fine! Stand up and shut up!"
"Ok." Mikey stood up.
"Mikey, sing along!" Leo said.
"Make up your mind! You told me to stand up and shut up!"
"Forget what I said!"
"Leo?" Donny asked.
"What?" Leo asked argrily.
"I really can't hold it..."
"Oh, shell..." Leo turned to me standing right next to me. "What are you smiling at?"
"You." I answered.
"Why?"
"Why? Why are you asking me questions when you should be taking care of Donny, Raph, and Mikey? This is very interesting."
Leo smirked and looked at Donny bouncing in his seat, Mikey's screaming voice singing along with his stomache, and Raph sleeping, then turned back to me. "If you hear me saying 'Let's all go to church!', Slap me!"
"K." I slapped Leo on the arm.
"Not now!" Leo said.
"Oh. Sorry." I smiled sweetly again.
In the car...
"So, what did everybody learn today?" I asked.
"I learned I have to eat 24/7!" Mikey said.
"I learned I have a very, very, very weak bladder!" Donny rose his hand.
"I learned church is boring!" Raph tried staying awake.
"And what did we all learn together?" I asked. "That Leo gets pissed off easily!" I smiled at Leo again.
"I hate you guys..." Leo mumbled.
"No, you love us and you know it!" Raph smiled.
"Yeah, right!" Leo laughed.
Back at the lair at midnight...
"Donny?" Mikey entered Donny's room.
"Hm?" Donny answered.
"I have a problem..."
"So, your idea of fixing it is to come into your brothers room, at midnight, and wake him up?"
"Yeah."
"Ok...go ahead..."
"Who was Sapphire's dad?" Mikey asked.
"What?" Donny sat up.
"Who was Sapphire's dad?"
"Did she have a dad?"
"Don't play 'Dumb' with me!"
"I'm not playing anything! Did she really have a dad?"
"From what she told me..."
"What did she tell you?"
"I can't remember."
"Of course...when did she tell you?"
"When we were trying to fix the bee problem."
"And you can't remember what she said?"
"No."
"Then just--"
"But I know you know."
"How do you know that I know?"
"I don't know. I know that you know!"
"How can you know that I know something when I really don't know that thing but you claim you know I know because you just think you know?"
"...What?"
"Look, the point is I have no clue! How would I know, anyway?"
"Your the closest to her! Now spill!" Mikey started strangling Donny.
"Mikey! Stop! I don't know anything!" Donny jerked Mikey's hand away from his throat.
"Sorry. But I have to know!"
"Then go ask her!"
"I can't! When she said that she had a dad, she told me that I never knew her father, and then I said will I ever meet him?She said no. I don't even know if he's still alive, and then I said why did you--"
"Wait--I thought you said that you forgot what she told you?"
"Ah, I remembered?"
"Alright, whatever! Go on..."
"Ok! So, anyway, I asked her why did you--"
"Hold it, did she run away?"
"Let me finish!" Mikey yelled.
"Ok, sorry!" Donny said.
"Anyway, I asked her why did you run away? She said who said I ran away? And then I said Nobody. But then how come you were down in the sewers? Then she said, I had no where else to go. And then I said--wait a minute, I'm running out of breath!"
"Take your time..."
"Ok. I'm ready."
"So tell me the rest then!"
"Oh! Yeah! Didn't I finish?"
"No!"
"Oh...where did I leave off?"
Donny sighed. "She said she had no where else to go--"
Mikey cut him off. "Ok! I remember! I remember! So then I said--wait..."
Donny rolled his eyes.
"Then Raph beeped in..." Mikey smiled.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Ok! Now--let's figure this out tomorrow morning!"
"But it is morning!"
"A little too early in the morning! Come back in here around 9!"
"That's too late!"
"No, Sapphire will be at school...Raph will be driving her as well as going to April and Casey's to baby-sit, and Leo will be at work! While we sit here doing nothing with our day off then we can talk about it...but now is not the time! Goodnight!" Donny rolled over.
"Goodnight..." Mikey left.
6:00 a.m...
Donny opened his eyes to see me in his face. "What?" he asked.
"Snow day!" I yelled.
