Chapter 94

Seven days later...

"Angel and Ryan are leaving today..." April said.

"I know it..." Leo replied.

"Leo!" I yelled.

"One minute! I'm on the phone! So anyway..."

"Come here!"

"One minute!"

"Now!"

"Why?"

"I'm hungry!"

"You may have a broken leg, but you can still walk, you know!"

"I know! But I want you to make me something!"

"Why?"

"Raph won't let me touch the toaster!"

"Oh crying out loud!"

"AND MY FOOT IS THE ITCHEST THING I HAVE EVER FELT IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!" I screamed.

"April, I have to get back to you, ok?" Leo asked.

"Alright." April said, who was ready to burst out laughing by this time.

"Sorry..."

"No problem. Bye."

"Bye," Leo walked into my room. "Could you at least have a little respect when I am one the phone for once? Please?"

"Nope. I'm hungry." I said flatly.

"Sapphire, like I said, even though you have a broken leg, that does not mean that you can't walk. You can get up and get something yourself!"

"But I can't cook."

"...Well...what do you want?"

"Pizza."

"Don't we all?"

"Can't you order some?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because we have no money."

"Then get some and then order the pizza."

"No. You can get some money and order a pizza."

"I can't."

"Why not? Because of your broken leg?" Leo asked.

"Duh!" I replied.

"You can get up!"

"No I can't!"

"Yes you can!"

"How do you know?"

"I'm not going to argue with you..."

"Why?"

"What's going on here?" Donny walked in.

"Here! You can argue with her! I'm going to call April back!" Leo left.

"What'd you do to him?" Donny asked.

"Me! It's him!" I answered.

"Ok, well what happened?"

"My foot's itchy..."

"That's what you were arguing over?"

"No, we were talking about pizza."

"I like pizza..."

"So do I. But Leo won't order any!"

"We don't have money!"

"Then get some!"

"We can't!"

"My foot's itchy..."

"Because we--that was random..."

"I know it was, but it is..."

"Well you can't scratch it..."

"No! Really? I had no idea!" I said sarcasticly.

Donny rolled his eyes. "Other than don't scratch it, I have nothing more to say to you."

"About what?"

"What do you mean about what? About your foot!"

"Oh."

"What did you think I was talking about?"

"The pizza."

"The pizza? We stopped talking about that awhile ago!"

"I don't care...I still want it..."

"Well you can't have it."

"I know."

"Then stop complaining."

"I'm not."

"Yes you are." Donny said.

"No!" I yelled.

"You said something that sounded like complaining!"

"I said something! But I wasn't complaining!"

"Then what did you say?"

"What do you mean what did I say?"

"You just said you said something."

"I did."

"What you say?"

"I didn't say anything!"

"Did you say something or nothing?"

"Something!"

"Then what'd you say?"

"Nothing!"

Donny rubbed his forehead for a minute. "It's exhausting being around you..."

I glared at him.

"I'm gonna go now..."

"You comin' back?"

"Maybe..."

"Bring back pizza!"

"Yeah right!"

Raph came in. "What'd you do to Donny?"

"Nothing." I answered.

"Ok." Raph started leaving.

"Wait!" I stopped him.

"What?"

"My's foot's itchy..."

"What do you want me to do about it?"

"I don't know...but it's itchy!"

"Then scratch it."

"I can't!"

"Then scratch it."

"Oh, that's helpful!"

"Why can't you scratch it?"

"Because--acually...to tell you the truth, I don't know. Go ask Donny. Or April."

"I don't feel like it."

"Fine."

"I want pizza. I've been craving it everyday!"

"ME TOO! ESPECIALLY NOW! BUT LEO WON'T GET ANY!" I screamed.

Raph shook his head. "Ok...ok...you didn't have to peirce out my ear drums, but ok..."

"I want pizza..."

"Me too, but--"

"AND WHY IS MY FOOT SO ITCHY!"

"Alright, let's all calm down now..."

"Yeah, how 'bout no?"

"Your sarcastic remarks...I tell ya...you take after Mikey..."

"With my stubborness...I tell ya...I take after you..." I mocked.

"You a brat, you know that?" Raph asked.

"Did you not hear what I just said? I take after you!"

"The brat thing is Mikey! Not me!"

"Acually it's half."

"No it's not! I'm not a brat!"

I smiled trying not to laugh. "No comment on that..."

"Shut up."

"I didn't say anything."

"Yes you did."

"Not what I wanted to say."

"What were you going to say?"

"Nothing."

"Yes you were."

"Nope. I wasn't."

"Yes you were. I know you were. It was something about me."

"So what if it was?"

"So you confess."

"I don't care. I only confessed that I was going to say something. The fact is, your never going to know what I was going to say because I'll never tell you! So I win! Ha!"

Raph pouted and walked out the door. "I hate you..."

"How's your leg?" Mikey randomly strolled in after Raph.

"Hurts." I replied.

"It should."

"I know that. I'm not an idiot."

"Then this proves that you and I both are not idiots!"

"This proves that I'm not an idiot and that sentence you just said proves that you are an idiot."

"How?"

"I don't know."

"Then why...?"

"I want pizza."

"Please don't tell me that..."

"Why not?"

"Because then I'll get a craving and then I'll have to buy some and then Leo, Raph, and Dpnny would get pissed off at me because I bought some pizza and we hardly have any money." Mikey explained.

I knew that all I had to do was say the word pizza and he would buy some for me. "But I want some pizza now!"

"I'm sorry."

"You know you can't say no...to pizza or to me..."

"Pizza--I can be strong with. You--I'm always strong," Mikey looked at me and saw me with my sweet, innocent, adorable, puppy eyes. "...Except when you do that..."

"Please?" I asked once more.

"...Oh, alright! Fine! I'll be back!" Mikey left to go order the pizza.

In the kitchen...

"Mikey, what are you doing?" Donny asked.

"Um...nothing..." Mikey answered.

"Did you just do what I think you just did?"

"Nope. ...What do you think I just did?"

"You did not order pizza for Sapphire!"

"Ok...I did...but she gave me her puppy eyes! You and I both know that no one, and I mean no one can say no to those puppy eyes!"

"Well, your gonna have to learn! Who's gonna pay for this? All the money we have is going toward Florida! We leave tomorrow!"

"While Sapphire has a broken leg?"

"She's getting the cast off tomorrow about two hours before we leave!"

"I knew that..."

"...Mikey..."

"Sorry..."

"Your paying for it! With your own money!"

"I don't have any money!"

"They how did you think we were going to pay for it, huh?"

"Steal from Raph..."

"Oh my God, your an idiot..."

"So I am an idiot?"

"What?" Donny asked.

"Nothing." Mikey replied.

"Mikey, are you almost done packing?" Leo asked.

"No..." Mikey answered.

"Did you even start?"

"No..."

"Why?"

"Because I never knew that we were leaving tomorrow."

"So he just bought a $20 pizza..." Donny explained.

"Tattle tale..." Mikey pouted.

"MY FOOT ITCHES!" I yelled.

"For God's sake! Where are my swords?" Leo asked.

"What are you doing?" Donny asked.

"I'm just going to cut off her foot so it won't be itchy anymore!"

"Leo!"

"Fine...fine...but Mikey!"

"Yeah?" Mikey looked up.

"Start packing...now. This is for April and Casey. We don't want to screw it up."

Ann: BTW, with that conversation that Donny and I had--about saying something and nothing--I got that from the show Seinfeld. The episode was "The Red Dot." I LOVE that episode! Anyway, I don't own it and--yeah, that's it...
