Chapter 98
Donny looked out the window, too. "Yes. We are. But Sapphire--"
"Do you think Angel and Ryan are at the airport waiting for us?" I asked.
"I guess...but I need to ask you--"
"Where do they live?"
"They'll show us. Sapphire--"
"I hope they have food. I'm hungry."
"That's nice, but I really need you to answer this question!"
"Which is...?"
"...Acually two questions."
"All right."
"What is your real name and what did your real dad do to you that you'll never forgive him of?"
"I have the right to remain silent for question number one and question number two!"
"Sapphire..."
"We're landing!" I looked out the window again.
Donny sighed.
Finally on the ground...
"Sapphire! Donny! Over here!" I heard Angel's voice calling us, but I couldn't see where she was.
"Where are you?" I asked.
"Right here." Angel came up behind me.
"Oh. Hello."
"Hi."
"Can we get out of here? It's kinda crowded." Donny asked.
"Sure. Follow me." Angel starting leading us away.
"Where's Ryan?" I asked.
"He's at the house," Angel answered. "He knew that there would be tons of people here. He hates crowds. So, he decided to stay home and meet us there."
"Wimp..." I mumbled.
Donny elbowed me to be nice then looked up and saw a Foot solider. "Oh, great..."
"What?" Angel asked.
"Nothing. Let's just get out of here." Donny took the lead.
I fell behind and looked up where Donny was looking and saw nothing.
"We're here, Dumbo!" (I don't own Dumbo...besides, I wasn't even talking about that...) Angel walked through the door.
"Whoa! Nice!" I smiled.
"Why do you call me that?" Ryan walked in. "Oh, hi, guys!"
"Is this your house?" Donny asked.
"No, Donny. This is the guy who dresses up as Mickey Mouse's house." I replied sarcasticly.
Donny was about to start lecuring me, but Angel interupted.
"Sapphire, let me show you to your room," Angel grabbed my bags and lead the way upstairs. "Ryan? Would you do me a favor? Could you please show Donny his room?"
"Sure. Come on," Ryan went into the next room and threw Donny's bags onto his bed. "Here you go."
"Thanks." Donny said.
"Dinner is in an hour! We'll call you." Ryan shut the door and left.
"Um, ok..." Donny didn't know weather to follow Ryan, or to just stay where he was. "I gotta call Leo, anyway." Donny dialed the number to the lair.
"Talk to me!" Mikey picked up.
"Mikey? It's Donny." Donny said.
"Donny! Hi! How are you? How's Saph? She behaving?"
"Like you."
"That's perfect! I mean--too bad."
"Yeah, thanks...anyway--"
"How's Angel and Ryan?"
"Their fine..."
"How's their place? Is it sick?"
"What?"
"I meant is it cool?"
"Um, yeah."
"Donny, you really gotta get out more often! You know what I'm talking about?"
"Not really, but I have to--"
"Hold on! I have another call."
"--Fine..." Donny waited about five to twenty minutes.
"You there? Hello?" Donny was, for once in his life, glad to hear Mikey's voice.
"Yes. I'm here."
"Good! I have to tell you something--"
"Can I talk to Leo first? This is very important!"
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
"Why didn't you say so in the first place?" Mikey started calling Leo to the phone.
I was trying to, you moron... Donny rubbed his forehead.
"He's coming." Mikey said.
"Thanks. Oh, Mikey?"
"Yeah?"
"Could you call Raph, too? I mind as well talk to all three of you at the same time. Put me on speaker phone."
"What do you say?"
"Go get Raph, Leo, and put me on speaker phone, or else!"
"...Ok..."
"Thank you!" Donny looked around the room while waiting.
"Hey, Don!" Raph greeted.
"How are you?" Leo asked.
"Cranky." Mikey answered.
"Fine, fine! I'm just fine!" Donny said.
"You seem a little tense...something wrong?" Leo asked.
"Yes." Donny replied.
"What did Sapphire do now?" Raph accused.
"Nothing!" Donny yelled. "Just listen!"
"Ok," Leo said. "We're all ears."
"We don't have any..." Mkey commented.
"Shut up!" Raph slapped him.
"Anyway, guess who I saw at the airport?" Donny asked.
"Angel and Ryan! Right? Am I right?" Mikey replied.
"Yah, but I meant--"
"Oh, yeah! Who's good? Who's good?"
"Not you! Not you!" Raph chanted along with Mikey.
"Guys, pay attention!" Leo ordered.
"Of course, oh, Great One!" Mikey bowed.
"Mikey, stop! This is important! I have no clue what's going on!" Donny yelled.
"What happened, Donny? Who'd you see?" Leo asked.
"Ever since Sapphire was little, everywhere I went with her, I always saw the Foot. At least one of them were there. Just watching us."
"I saw them, too."
"Me three."
"I guess me four...I don't know. I've never paied attention." Mikey said.
"You are such a dork..." Raph said.
"Guys, why are they stalking us?" Donny asked.
"Not us. Sapphire." Leo corrected.
"Why?" Raph asked. "She's nothing special."
"Raph..." Leo warned.
"It's true!"
"No, it's not! This is serious!"
Mikey sliped his comic book away.
"Mikey..." Leo eyed him firmly.
"Sorry."
"Hey, Donny." I walked right in.
"You could knock, you know..." Donny said.
"I could."
"What do you want?"
"Who's after us?"
"No one. Go back to your room."
"But Angel and Ryan left to get the Chinese Food, and I want someone to play with now."
"Play? Now?"
"Is there an echo in here? Yes! Now!"
"I can't."
"Donny? You still there?" Leo asked.
"Why?" I tried looking to see who he was talking to. "Who are you talking to?"
"No one. Go upstairs and I'll play with you in a minute!"
"No...now!"
"Sapphire--"
I grabbed the phone. "Hello?"
"Donny! Thank you! Finally!" Mikey yelled.
"So, why do you think the Foot want Sapphire?" Leo asked.
"What?" I asked.
"SAPPHIRE!" Leo, Mikey, and Raph yelled with shock.
"Where's Donny?" Raph asked.
"Right here. Trying to get the phone." I hit Donny to stay away from me.
"Could you please put Donny on again?" Leo asked.
"In a minute...what about the Foot?" I replied.
Donny grabbed the phone. "You told her!"
"We didn't mean to!" Mikey protested.
"I know...Leo's the one who told her." Raph glared at Leo.
"I thought she was you!" Leo said.
"How could you think that she's me?" Donny yelled.
"I don't know!" Leo argued.
"How are they?" I asked.
"Who?" Donny asked.
"The Foot. They doing ok?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"I'm just concerned."
"Why would you be concerned about them?"
