Chapter 95
"Do I have to go?" Raph asked.
"Yes you do." Leo replied.
"But I don't want to..."
"I don't care. Your going."
"Jerk."
"We have a problem." Donny walked in.
"Great! Now what?" Leo asked.
"I just got off of the phone with the plane people and they said that they only have three planes avalible."
"Three? We only need one."
"Each plane carries only two people."
"That's stupid."
"So what are we going to do?"
"Umm, Mikey and I will go in one plane, you and Sapphire can go in another and Raph, Casey, April, and Kevin can go in the other."
"That won't work, though." I said.
"How?" Mikey asked.
"Three planes, eight people, two people can fit on each plane," Donny explained. "I asked the person in charge of one of the planes and he said that if Kevin is somewhere between two years old or younger, he can fit with two other people. Those two other people will be Casey and April. Now we have five people left and two planes left. There's--"
"There will be one person left over." Leo cut off.
Raph smiled.
Leo looked at Raph. "Fine. You can stay behind and look after the lair...but it would be nice if you would come..."
"Yes!" Raph yelled and ran up to his room and shut the door.
"Ok. Is everybody packed?" Leo asked.
"I am." I answered.
"Yep." Donny replied.
"Maybe." Mikey sat down and turned the tv on.
Leo grabbed the clicker out of his hands and turned the tv off. "Go pack! April and Casey will be down any minute!"
"Hi guys!" April yelled.
"Hey April." Donny and I greeted.
I got up and took Kevin out of April's arms and talked babyishly. "And hello Kevin! Your getting so big! Yes you are!"
"Are we all ready?" Casey asked.
"Not quite." Leo glared at Mikey and Mikey slipped away to his room to start packing.
"Well hurry up. The plane leaves in an hour."
"Yeah about that..." Donny explained everything to Casey and April and how Raph had to stay behind.
"Ohh, the poor guy. He's going to miss a lot of fun." April said.
Loud party music blasted from Raph's room.
"Yeah he's depressed about it, alright." I said sarcasticly.
"Are you ready?" Leo asked.
"I said I was."
"Where are your things, then?"
"Upstairs."
"Well go get 'em."
I got up and went to go get my things.
"We're going to miss the planes, aren't we?" Casey asked.
"No. We'll get them." April replied.
"If Mikey finishes packing in time..." Donny said.
"I'm done!" Mikey came down the stairs.
"Do you have everything?" Leo asked. "Like your toothbrush and crap?"
Mikey paused for a minute then raced back up the stairs.
Leo banged his head on the table.
"This is going to be a fun trip." Donny said.
"Back!" I came down with two backpacks and five suitcases.
"April? Casey? How long are we staying down there?" Donny asked.
"A week." Casey stared at all of my stuff amazed.
"What?" I asked.
"You don't need that many things, Sapphire." Leo said.
"Yes I do." I answered.
"No you don't."
"Yes I do."
"Why?"
"Aren't we living there?"
"No, sweetheart, we're staying there for only a week." April tried holding in her laughter.
"Really?" I looked at Donny.
"It's true." Donny said.
"Wow," I murmmered. "I told all of my friends that I was moving to Florida. Boy, their going to be surprised when school starts again..."
"Look, just take the suitcase and/or backpack that you need the most." Leo said.
"What should it have it?" I asked.
"Clothes, pajamas, toothbrush, etc."
"Oh."
"What's wrong?"
"That's going to take a little while."
"Why?"
"There's at least one pair of clothes in every suitcase and backpack. I'm going to have to do some shuffling."
"What did you do that for?"
"I don't know."
"Ok," Mikey came back down with a bundle of stuff and started stuffing them in his suitcase. "That should be everything..."
"We're screwed." Casey said.
"No we're not." Leo said.
"Leo, come on. Be serious. How are we supposed to make the planes flights now?" April asked.
"We'll make them."
Casey started a sneezing fit.
"Are you ok?" I asked.
"That hurt my head..." Casey sat down.
April felt his forehead. "Ooo, your hot all of the sudden."
"Thanks, you are too." Casey smiled.
"I ment you feel feverish, you jerk!" (I got this from the movie Fantasic Four, which I don't own.)
"Oh...does this mean I'm staying home?"
"Your going to have to if you have a fever."
"Great. Go on without me. I was looking forward to seeing Angel, too..."
"I'm not going."
"Why not? You have to."
"I don't have to. I have to stay home with you and take care of you."
"Will you guys be ok?" Casey asked Leo, Donny, Mikey and me.
"Yeah. We'll be fine." Donny answered.
"I'll call the plane and cancel for you," Leo got on the phone. "Hi, I was just--what? Why were you going to call me? What's wrong? Your serious? Your not kidding? This is good...I was just calling to cancel the first flight. Ok. Bye," Leo hung up the phone. "Guess what? Mikey and I are staying behind, too."
"What? Why?" Mikey asked.
"Our plane broke down and it's going to take a month to fix." Leo explained.
"Oh, great!"
"So Sapphire and I will just be going to Florida?" Donny asked.
"That's right." Leo replied.
"Cool!" I smiled.
"Maybe we shouldn't go." Donny said.
"Why?" I asked.
"We should wait until Casey gets better and Leo and Mikey's plane is fixed. That way we can all go down together."
"No!"
"Why not?"
"I just finished packing! Come on, Donny! Let's go now and get it overwith! Please? Please, please, please?"
"Donny just go. We'll be fine here." Leo said.
"You sure?" Donny asked.
"Positive."
"Even with Raph?"
"He'll be depressed to know that he has company staying with him now, but yeah. We'll still be fine here."
"Come on, Donny!" I started pushing Donny out the door. "We're gonna miss the flight!"
"Um, ok! But you have to promise me that you'll behave! Or else we're coming straight home!"
I crossed my fingers behind my back. "I promise!"
