Chapter 85
"How can we get out of here?" Mikey asked.
"That's what everybody wants to know, Mikey." Raph answered.
"And do you know?"
"No."
"Do you?" Mikey looked at Leo.
"No. Why would I?" Leo asked.
"Your the leader..."
"Here it is!" Donny yelled. "Guys! Come here!"
"What?" Leo asked.
"I found the paper!"
"Good for you..." Raph started walking back.
"What paper?" Leo asked.
"What time they open and close." Donny answered.
"So?" I replied.
"So, they open tomorrow. At 5."
"A.m.?"
"A.m."
"Like I said, so?"
"So, what time is it now?"
"6 p.m." Mikey answered.
"Oh. Well anyway, if we can't find a way out, we have 11 hours to be in here. That's not bad." Donny said.
"So in other words, we have to just sit here and do nothing for 11 hours?" Raph asked.
"Yep."
"There's no way I'm doing it!"
"Why?"
"This is the only thing we can do!" Leo said.
"I know...but Sapphire and Mikey are here. Do you really think that they'll sit here and do nothing for 11 hours? No! They'll be yaking away! They'll be annoying me! They'll be doing it on purpose!" Raph yelled.
"I never knew how much you were a drama queen." I said.
"It's not queen! I'm not a girl!"
"Oh, I would have never guessed!"
"Shut up!"
"Guys, there's nothing we can do but just sit here for 11 hours..." Donny said.
"Um, I really hate to say this, but I agree with Raph. There is no way I'm going to just sit here and do nothing for 11 hours!" Mikey agreed.
"Me too." I added.
"What else are we supposed to do?" Donny asked.
"Look for a way out?" Raph suggusted.
"And get attacked by killer bees again?"
"There won't be any bees here." I said.
"We'll lose eachother." Donny said.
"We won't split up." Mikey replied.
"Then if we don't split up, it will take 11 hours for us to find a way out." Donny pointed.
"At least we'll have something to do!" I said.
"I think we're better off staying here." Leo said.
"But--" Mikey started.
"We're staying here." Leo repeated.
Five seconds later...
"We're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored..." Mikey and I continuesly chanted. "We're bored...we're bored...we're bored...we're bored..."
"ALRIGHT!" Raph yelled. "Enough already!"
"Well it's not our fault that we have nothing to do! Now is it?" Mikey asked.
"I am going to crack..." I said.
"No you won't!" Leo said.
"I've never seen them this bored before." Donny said.
"You convinced them to sit here." Leo replied.
Donny glared at Leo.
"What was that noise?" I asked.
"What noise?" Mikey answered.
"There was a noise..."
"What noise?"
"That noise."
"What NOISE?"
"You didn't here that?"
"Apparently not."
"Raph, did you hear that?" I asked.
"Hear what?' Raph answered.
"You didn't hear it? Leo, Donny, what about you?" I asked again.
"What about us?" Leo replied.
"Did you hear a noise?" I continued to ask.
"No." Donny answered.
"Ho could you not hear that!"
"I didn't hear anything either." Leo said.
"I think she really is going to crack..." Raph said.
"For the first time, I agree with you." Mikey replied.
"I am not going to crack! I really did hear a noise!" I yelled.
"I think your ears need a little check-up with the doctor..." Mikey sang.
"Your the one who needs his ears checked if you can't hear that!" I shot back.
"How can I get my ears checked if I don't have any ears!"
"Then how can you hear me?"
"...Um, Donny?"
"You guys are goving me the biggest headache of my life, you know that?" Donny answered.
"That's nice," Mikey continued. "Listen, how can we hear if we don't have any ears?"
I rolled my eyes.
"Figure it out yourself!" Donny smacked his forehead.
"Yeah! Figure it out yourself!" Mikey turned back to me.
I glared at him. "Ok, whatever..." I started walking off.
"Where are you going?" Leo asked.
"I'm just going to see where that noise came from." I started walking backwards to face Leo.
"Ok, but don't go off to far, ok?"
"I won't..."
"And stop walking backwards! Your going to crash in to the--"
"OW!"
"--Elevator."
"Gee, thanks for telling now!" I got up off the floor and left.
"I think someone needs a little nap..." Mikey said.
Leo and Raph turned towards Mikey. "Shut up..."
"Ok! Good! Where can I sleep?" Donny asked.
Leo and Raph turned towards Donny. "Shut up..."
"She's been gone a long time..." Mikey stated.
"When did you figure that out?" Raph asked.
"Maybe we should go looking for her." Donny said.
"I think we should. Let's go." Leo said.
"Do you think she's lost?" Mikey asked.
"I don't know." Leo answered.
"We're not splitting up, are we?" Donny asked.
"No, we'd loose eachother!" Leo said.
"It doesn't matter if we'd loose eachother! Either way, the mall will open and we still wouldn't be able to leave because we probably still wouldn't be able to find Sapphire!" Raph said.
"Why do you always have to point those things out?" Mikey asked.
"I don't know...I'm the hothead, it's my job to make everyone figure this out and get worried."
"Raph's right...maybe we should split up..." Leo said.
"What!" Raph yelled.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Mikey laughed.
Raph hit Mikey over the head and ran up in front of Leo. "But you just said that we'd loose each other!"
"And you just made a good point!" Leo said.
"I knew I should've said that in my head!" Raph backed off.
"Ok, does everybody have their shellcell? Raise your hand if you don't." Leo siad.
Mikey smiled sweetly and slowly raised his hand.
"Mikey! I don't even know why I gave you one if you can't even remember to bring it with you wherever you go!" Donny yelled.
"Sorry..." Mikey put his hand down.
Raph sighed and stood next to Mikey. "I'll go with him so he has a phone..."
"Thanks." Leo replied.
"You don't sound to happy about it, though..." Mikey stated.
Raph glared at him.
"...Shutting up." Mikey closed his mouth.
"Ok, we should probably go now." Donny started leaving.
"Go where?" I was standing behind Donny.
Donny turned around as well as Raph, Mikey, and Leo. "When did you get here?"
"Just a few minutes ago. Where are we going?" I asked.
"We were going to go find you." Raph said.
"Oh. Ok. Have fun!" I smiled.
"How can we find you if we know that your right there?" Leo asked.
"Beats me. You guys were going to do it first."
"Anyway, we're not going. We're staying right here." Leo walked back to where they were sitting before.
"Did you ever find that noise thingy?" Mikey asked.
"Yes." I answered.
"What was it?" Raph asked.
"I don't know. I couldn't tell." I replied.
"You couldn't tell? How could you not tell?" Leo asked adding more questions.
"It was dark. I would've gotten a closer look, but I got too freaked out."
"Why?" Donny asked.
I sighed. "This is the last question! I got too freaked out because the shape of the thing was a person! Obviously there's somebody in here with us." I answered the final question.
"There's someone else in here with us?" Mikey asked.
"That's what I just said, Dummy!" I replied.
"Cool!"
Raph elbowed him in the stomache.
"Ow! That was painful!" Mikey fell on my foot.
"Get off of me!" I shook him off and accindently kicked him in the same spot Raph elbowed him in the stomache.
"OW! How come everyone hates me right now...?" Mikey layed down.
"What did he look like?" Leo asked.
"I-don't-know! It-was-dark!" I yelled slowly for the words to go in his head and stay there.
"Oh. Sorry."
"It wasn't even a he! It was a she!" I said.
"Really?" Donny replied.
"I don't know."
"Then why did you say that?"
"Because! All I'm saying is that that person could be a she and not a he!"
"So?"
"So, Leo just assumed that the person was a he!"
"Who cares?"
"I do!"
"Guys, shut up." Raph said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because your giving me a headache."
"Why?"
"Because your being annoying."
"Why?"
"Because your you."
"Why?"
"Because you were born that way."
"Why?"
"Because they had sex and--look, why am I even talking to you? Get out of here!"
I started laughing.
"Raph, shut up!" Leo yelled.
"But--"
"Please!"
"I--I'm gonna kill you when we get home..." Raph glared at me.
I smiled.
"What's that?" Mikey pointed.
"What's what?" Raph looked up on the second floor. "Wait--what is that?"
Leo and Donny looked up. "I don't know." Leo answered.
"That's her!" I yelled.
"Who?" Leo asked.
"That's the person I saw when I left you guys here."
"How do you know it's a girl?"
"I don't. But I'm calling her a girl because you just assumed that she was a he and she could be a she."
"Um, ok."
"He's gone." Donny said.
"You mean she's gone!" I said.
"Well same difference!"
"No it's not!"
"Yes it is!"
"Don't yell at me, Donny!" I yelled.
"I'm not yelling." Donny said calmly.
"Yes you are!"
"No I'm not!"
"Yes you are!"
"No I'm not!"
"No your not!" I agreed.
"Yes I am!" Donny agreed too.
"So you agree with me!"
"...You agreed first!"
I glared at him.
"Guys..." Leo broke us up.
"It's five o'clock, Leo." Mikey said.
"Really?" Leo asked.
"Wow! That went by fast!" I smiled. "Civilization, here we come!" I started running out of the mall.
"Sapphire! Wait!" Raph ran after me.
"What?" I turned around.
"We can't be seen! Remember?"
"You can't, but however, I can!" I started running again.
"No wait! We have to wait until the manager opening the mall is gone and then we can sneak out."
"But I wanna go now!"
"Believe me, so do I. But we have to wait with the others back there so we can all sneak out..."
"Here comes the manager." I said.
"Coming for us?" Raph looked around alert.
"No. He's unlocking the doors."
"Then let's go back to the others!"
"No wait! Let me get a good look at him!"
"What? Why?"
"Whoa! He is HOT!"
Raph sighed and rolled his eyes. "Let's go!"
"No wait!"
"No!"
"Yes! I--oh, ya know? Men have no sense in style! Look at that oufit! Red is so not his color!"
"Let's go Fashion Brat!"
"One second!"
"No! Not one second!"
"Maybe if I could get him to notice me...then maybe--"
Raph picked me up and started carring me back to his brothers.
"--What are you doing!"
"Bringing you back! Maybe for once Mikey's right, maybe you do need to get your ears checked...because you really do a horrible job at listening!" Raph yelled.
Leo, Donny, and Mikey walked up to us. "Where were you guys?" Leo asked.
"I think Sapphire wants out." Raph put me down.
"Really? I would've never guessed!" I glared at him.
"Anyway, since we can't be seen, Sapphire go see if the coast is clear." Donny said.
"Ok. Told ya I was gonna have to stay there." I walked off.
"Yeah right! You never said anything like that!" Raph started following me but Leo pulled him back.
"I think it's safe!" I yelled.
"She thinks?" Mikey repeated.
"Is there an echo in here? Yes! I think it's safe!" I yelled again.
"Are you sure?" Donny came out.
"Positive." I answered.
"Ok. Then we can all come out?" Leo asked.
"Is it just me, or are you guys really this stupid?" I asked.
"Never mind, let's just get out of here!" Raph rushed for the open doors as Donny, Leo, and I followed.
"Mikey!" I yelled.
"What?" Mikey looked up.
"Are you comig?"
"Huh? Yeah!" Mikey started coming towards me.
"Then let's go!" I ran out the door seeing Raph, Donny, and Leo waiting for us.
As Mikey passed the door scanners, the alarm went off.
"Not again!" Raph yelled.
Mikey started running as fast as he could. "LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Mikey hopped into the sewers.
Back at the lair...
"So let me get this straight," Raph said. "You grabbed a toy car, and you forgot to put it back because you forgot you had it."
"Yeah." Mikey replied.
"If that isn't the stupidest reason, I don't know what is..."
"But it's the truth! See? I have it right here!" Mikey took out a bright blue car.
"Cool! This is the kind of car I want when I turn 15!" I grabbed the car out of Mikey's hands.
"You mean 16." Leo corrected.
"No, 15."
"16."
"Why 16?"
"Because that's when all kids get their license."
"So? I wanna get mine when I'm 15."
"You can't!"
"Why?"
"It's against the law!"
"...Donny, you broke the law!" I started laughing at him.
"We're a different story, though! We can't be seen!" Donny said.
"Then I won't be seen." I replied.
"Yes you will because you'll be in school, too." Raph said.
"So? I'll go to school, the mall, whatever and then I could take private lessons with you guys." I answered.
"This could be a problem..." Mikey said.
"Mikey, please shut up!" Raph said. "I'm just glad that we're out of the mall, and I am not dealing with this driver license thing! I'm going to bed!"
"But it's morning." Leo said.
"I don't care! And Saphire, when I wake up, you better watch your back!" Raph went into his room.
