Chapter 93

In my room the next morning...

"How's your leg?" Raph walked in.

"I wanna drive." I said.

"Is it good?"

"I wanna drive."

"I'm really sorry about what happened..."

"I wanna drive."

"I know your going to say that I'm stupid..."

"I wanna drive."

"...And you hate me..."

"I wanna drive."

"...But as we look back on it, it's really quite funny."

I glared at him. "How?"

Raph gave me a puzzled look. "Umm...well, you, um..."

"I...?"

"...You won!"

"Won what?"

"I don't know..."

"The argument between you and me?"

"...Sure..."

"Raph, what do you say stuff when you can't prove it?" I asked.

"I don't know." Raph replied.

"How's it going?" Leo walked in.

"Fine." I answered.

"Is your leg better?"

"A little."

"Good."

"How long will it be until I get the cast off?"

"One week."

"You mean I have to stay here for one whole week?" I asked.

"Sorry...one week isn't that bad..." Leo answered.

"...Do I get to miss school?"

"No."

"Shell..."

"Don't even think about it!"

"Will I ever learn how to drive?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"When you heal?"

"Who will teach me?"

"I'm outta here!" Raph sprang off of my bed and ran out of the room.

"You weren't gonna let him do it again...were you?" I asked.

"No!" Leo shook his head.

"You guys want to go to April's house? Angel's there." Dony poked his head in.

"Who's Angel?" I asked.

"You can. I'll stay here with Sapphire." Leo replied.

"Who's Angel?" I asked.

"Ok." Donny left.

"Who's Angel?" I asked.

Leo started an answer. "She's--"

"Leo, you comin'?" Mikey asked.

I rolled my eyes.

"No!" Leo answered.

"Why?" Mikey looked cunfused.

"Because I'd rather just stay here with Sapphire."

"But Angel's there and whenever we go to April and Casey's house, you always come...what's so different this time?"

"Hosestly Mikey...think about it."

"About what?"

"Why I'm not going?"

"Oh...I don't know."

"Sapphire has a broken leg?"

"Ohhh..."

"WHO'S ANGEL!" I yelled.

"She's related to Casey in some way..." Mikey answered.

I looked at Leo expecting him to know how Angel and Casey are related but he just agreed with Mikey.

"Ok then..." I replied.

"You can asked them when we go." Mikey said.

"We're not going, remember?" Leo asked.

"Your not going. Why can't Sapphire go?"

"Because she has a broken leg!"

"From what?"

"Get out!" Leo pushed Mikey out of the room and slammed the door behind him. "Honestly, I have no clue how I put up with him all these years..."

I laughed. "But, Leo, why can't I go?"

"I just said to Mikey, it's because you have a broken leg! You of all people should know that!"

"No, I know that I have a broken leg, it's just--why does my leg have to stop me?"

"Because you can't get out of the sewers."

"Then how do you expect me to get to school every morning?"

"What?"

"You said that I still have to go to school even with the broken leg. So, you won't let me go see April, Casey, and Angel because I have to climb out of the sewers. But then again, in order to get to school, I have to climb out of the sewers. I either don't go to school these next two weeks, or I go see April, Casey, and Angel."

"...Fine...we'll go...but only because I don't want to be stuck at midnight doing make-up work like last time!"

"Thank you!" I got out of bed and Leo helped me get out the door.

At April and Casey's house...

"And your Sapphire? Who I've heard so much about," Angel said. "What happened to your leg?"

"Raph beat me up." I replied sharply.

"I did not!" Raph yelled.

"Technically you did..."

"No!"

"If it weren't for you, my leg would be fine!"

"If you weren't so stubborn all the time!"

"I'm stubborn? Look at you!"

"I can't see myself!"

"Then get a mirror!"

"Guys! Stop!" Donny yelled.

"What?" Raph and I snapped at Donny.

"S-Stop fighting and please don't hurt me..."

Angel giggled while April and I went into the kitchen for a minute. "Where is he?"

"Who?" April asked.

"Ryan."

"Who's Ryan?" Leo asked.

"My boyfriend." Angel answered.

"You have a boyfriend now!" Casey yelled.

"...Yes..." Angel gave him a warning glance.

Casey sat back down.

Ryan bursted through the door. "Hello peoples!"

"Where have you been!" Angel punched him in the stomach.

Ryan bent over with a squeaky voice. "Oww...traffic..."

"Really? There was hardly any when I got here."

"That's because people don't want to get in your way. They know what you'll do to them. They know that you would do what you just did to me." Ryan explained while walking over to sit next to Casey.

I came back. "That was my seat, you know."

"Who are you?" Ryan asked.

"Ryan, this is Sapphire; Sapphire, this is Ryan." Angel introduced.

"Hello." Ryan put his hand out to shake his with mine.

"Hi, get out of my seat." I said.

"Sapphire! Where are your manners?" Leo asked with a warning.

"Gee, I don't know...maybe their all in my cast trying to tell my foot not to be itchy anymore!" I said sarcasticly.

"Um...anyway, you can have the seat back..." Ryan got up and sat down on the other side of Casey.

April walked in. "Your in my seat, you know."

"Oh, for God sakes," Ryan yelled standing up. "Here! Take the seat! Just take the stupid seat!"

A loud cry rang through the living room.

"Thanks a lot...you woke the baby up..." April went up stairs.

"You have a baby?" Ryan asked.

"Kevin." Casey said.

"Congrats."

"Thanks."

"You haven't said anything this whole time we were here...what's wrong with you? You sick?" Raph felt Mikey's forehead.

"I'm fine!" Mikey pushed his hand away from his face.

"No, I think that your sick! Just let me check if you--shut up and hold still!" Raph wreslted with Mikey trying to check his forehead for a fever and just to annoy him for no apparent reason.

"Guys...guys! Guys! GUYS! STOP IT!" Leo yelled seeing Raph and Mikey continue to fight each other.

"Alright! Fight!" Casey jumped in for the fun of it.

"Casey!" Leo yelled glancing at Donny just sitting there watching his brothers and Casey kill each other. "You could help, you know."

"I could." Donny replied.

I watched Angel as she and Ryan held hands laughing at thought of an announcment they were going to make...so I heard them say...

April came down the stairs with Kevin in her arms. "Say hello to everybody, Kevin! Can you wave? Huh? Please? For mommy? Why won't you wave? Please wave. Look, I know daddy's in the room and you hate doing things around him, but please? Just one little wave? Not a big one, just a little one...well, can you at least say hello? Please? Fine, be that way..." April sat down next to the spot Casey was sitting in.

"Guys? Could you please stop for just a second?" Angel asked.

"What?" Casey, Mikey, and Raph froze.

"Ryan and I want to tell you all something."

"What?" Donny asked.

"We're going to be married...and--"

"YOUR GETTING MARRIED? HOLD SHELL, WOMAN!" Casey and April yelled as Kevin started laughing franticly.

"I love weddings! When is it?" I asked.

"I think I'm going to cry..." Mikey pretended tears were coming out of his eyes.

"I can picture girls getting married to boys, but not you..." Raph said.

Donny and Leo just jumped up and down congratulating the couple.

"The bad news is--" Angel started again.

"Bad news? What's the bad news?" Leo and Donny asked.

"Your not getting a divorce right before you get married, right?" Mikey asked.

"SHUT UP!" Angel yelled.

Everyone was dead quite.

"The bad news is, we're getting married in Florida, and we're going to move down in Florida."

"Really?" April asked.

"Yep." Ryan replied.

"Ryan's parents live down there, so we decided to just move down there." Angel said.

"When are you moving?" I asked.

"In three days." Angel asked.

"We were thinking of having all of you come down in about a week or two. Just let us get settled and then you can come down anytime you want." Ryan said.

"So, in about two weeks, all of you come on down, ok?" Angel asked.

"Sure!" Casey answered.

"Right now, we have to head home." Angel said.

"We have a lot to pack in just three days." Ryan added.

"We should be going, too. Sapphire needs to lie down and get some rest." Leo said.

"I do?" I asked.

"Yes." Raph answered.

"Was I talking to you?"

"No."

"Then shut up."

Donny pushed Raph ahead of him and helped me up and handed me my cruches. "Don't start...it's not worth it..."

The next morning at breakfast...

"Can we go visit Angel and Ryan in Florida?" I asked.

"Sure." Donny answered.

"How come you haven't been talking?" Raph asked.

Mikey glared at him.

"Raph, leave Mikey alone for once, please?" Leo asked.

"No. I wanna know why he hasn't been talking." Raph said.

"I want to know, too. Why haven't you been talking, Mikey?" Donny asked.

"Donny!" Leo yelled.

"What? I'm just asking..." Donny said.

"Can you talk anymore?" Raph asked. "Or answer me or something?"

I gave Mikey a wet willy.

"HEY! THAT WAS DISGUSTING! OH MY GOD! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I SHOWED YOU HOW TO DO THAT! HOLD SHELL! IT'S ALL WET NOW!" Mikey screamed.

"He can talk." I said calmly taking another bite out of my cereal.
