SAGA123: Haha, I guess, but our cook has always made them to make you wanna shoot yourself in the face. And thank you for that compliment! It was very awesome of you.
Lovely-shadow: (: Here it is!
Nicomy43: Thanks very much!
Aaaaaaaand (for lack of a better phrase) here's the update!
Maybe the ninjas were good. Maybe they were going to get my bike back for me! Okay, that was stupid. Seems like they'd been chasing him even before he stole my bike. But what were the police sirens for? There certainly weren't any police cars now. Odd. I snapped out of my thoughts as the four figures stopped fighting. The first three figures looked at each other, then to me.
Uh-oh.
"H-hey guys," I smiled nervously, starting to back away. "I'm just here for my bike.. The one he stole.. Y'know, the guy you were fighting a few seconds ago? I'm not here to cause any trouble.. I- aaaahhhh!" I started running, but the ninjas were quicker and more agile. I don't think I had any agility in the first place.
"Leggo!" I tried to say, but they covered my mouth.
"Hey, not cool, dudes! You're fighting me!" This was the last thing I heard after I felt something really hard hurt my head.
----------------
Mmm... Where am I? What happened? Mom?
I don't feel like opening my eyes yet, but I do know I'm on something soft.. I inhaled and exhaled. Pizza? Is that pizza I smell? Fine, I'll open my eyes now.
Whoa. Now I'm serious: where am I? I was sitting on a almost worn-out red couch, and across me was a TV. Between the TV and the couch was a table with comic books and pizza on it. Lots of comic books and pizza.
Am I in heaven?
I grabbed a comic book and smiled. Justice Force! I am in heaven! I never expected it to kinda look like the sewers, though... And where are all the angels? Seeing nobody around, I took a slice of pizza and stuffed it in my mouth. Hmm... How did I get here, anyway? Let's see.. I was going to meet Mikey. I ran into a jerk and Mikey wasn't at Domino's... Someone stole my bike. Ahh! Ninjas! I threw the comic book at the TV and finished the slice of pizza I was eating. Tell me I'm not in an evil ninja lair!
Holy g-strings! What if that pizza I ate had poison! Or some.. ninja-solution.. thing..? I took another comic book and rolled it up in case anybody tried to sneak up on me. I crouched behind the couch and squinted my eyes. You won't be able to get me..
"Hey, you're awake!"
"Ahhh!" I shrieked, turning around and throwing the comic book at whoever said that.
"Ow!" He shouted, and I stared at him from behind the couch. I blinked. Is that a... "Don't come any closer!" I yelled as he did.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you..." He said. I'm not convinced.
"Wh-what are you?"
He stopped. Was he even a he? I think he's some kind of... turtle thing. Oversized turtle, really. He had this purple bandana/cloth thing covering his eyes. Well, not really. There were holes punched in for his eyes, and it was just wrapped around his head. What is that, for his 'secret identity' as a turtle or something? Real inconspicuous.
He sighed. "That's going to be a little hard to explain... And it's a long story."
I hugged my knees, staring up at him. "...I've got time." I think. What time is it, anyway?
-------------
"So you're... A teenage mutant ninja turtle?"
"In a shell, yes," Donatello nodded. Well, he said that that was what his name was. "Don't you mean in a nutshell, Donatello?" I asked.
Donatello shrugged. "If you want. And you can call me Don, you know. If Donatello's too long."
"Uh, sure," I smiled nervously. "Hey... You're okay, right?" Don asked, placing his hand on mine. It took a lot of self control not to pull it back.
"Yes," I nodded, rubbing my temples with my free hand. "Uh... Do you know how I got here?"
Don smiled, "Another story. You see, my brother saved you. He was being chased by..." He cleared his throat. "Ninjas, and for some reason he hasn't told me yet, you were there, too. The ninjas saw you and tried to use you to get to him, but he beat them and brought you here."
"Oh," I replied. "Oh!" I frowned. "So he was the one who stole my bike!"
"Excuse me?"
"I was going to meet up with a friend, but then he took my bike when he was running away from those ninjas. I followed them, and... Well, now I'm here."
Don slapped his forehead. "So it was his fault... Look, I'm sorry he got you into this mess." What was I supposed to say to that? I had accepted the fact that he and his brothers were mutants, even their father (who was supposedly a rat), but... Now what?
"Donnie, I blame everything on you." A familiar voice said. I think it was one of Don's brothers.. where had I heard that voice before? He entered the room. "I blame his stupid obsession with that game on you! He's been whining about some crap since I got here and won't even get up on his lazy butt and- You!"
I turned to my right, and I finally realized who it was. "Raphael?!" I didn't know he was a turtle. Then again, his shell...
"What're you doing here?"
"What're you doing here?"
"This is my house!"
"Well.. It's not like I wanted to be brought here!" I huffed, crossing my arms.
"Wait, wait, wait. You two know each other?" Don asked.
"Unfortunately," we both replied. "I almost got killed, thanks to him!" I frowned.
"What? I saved your life!" Raphael growled.
"And it was only fair that you did, because you got me into trouble in the first place!"
"Guys, guys!" Donatello held Raphael and me apart. "Calm down!"
I closed my eyes, turning away from the two, and sighed. I just want to go home... I just wanted to meet Mikey! I bet he hates me now. What was I going to tell him? Sorry I wasn't able to meet up with you. Some guy being chased by ninjas stole my bike and I got knocked out. When I woke up it turns out that the guy was a turtle mutated by ooze! Will you forgive me?
"Why is she here, anyway?" I heard Raphael ask Don.
"Mike brought her here. Some from the foot were chasing him for some reason I still don't know about, and she got involved."
"Tch!" I turned to the two again and saw Raphael frowning deeply. "It's his fault anyway, why don't you let him fix it? Why are you dealing with it?"
Don sighed. "Raph... Will you stop shouting?" He pointed towards me. "She's still dealing."
"With what?"
"We're turtles, remember? Not really human? Not that much?" Don seemed to try and piss him off.
"Oh," Raphael rolled his eyes. "She'll get over it. Either way I'm just a musclehead to her."
"I already said sorry about that!" I frowned at him. "Well sorry if it's hard to get over. How about I get over that, you get over this whole turtle thing and keep your mouth shut, and we can all go on with our lives?"
"Except for the part where Mike is so excited about... y'know. Kinda like April."
"Not again!" Raphael complained. "He really needs to get over-"
"My bag." I interrupted. The two turned to me. "What?"
"My bag," I repeated. "Did your brother bring it with him?"
"Oh, yeah," Don nodded. He walked over to the couch and took something from under the table. My bag! "Thanks," I said as he handed it to me.I searched for my stuff. They were all still there. "Where's Mike, anyway?" Don asked.
"Do ya have to ask?" Raphael rolled his eyes. "Using your computer, duh! Why don't you drag him by his ear and get him here so that he can deal with his own problems?"
"I didn't ask you to deal with me," I snorted. They don't even have ears. "Yeah, well," Raphael returned the snort. "Here I am." Don sighed and left the room. Oh, great! Alone with the musclehead. Hee hee, musclehead.
"What's so funny?" Raphael asked. Demanded, actually. "Nothing," I smiled innocently. "Grr," he growled, but didn't do anything.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Bro, why're you being so-" The voice stopped complaining, and Raphael and I turned around. Standing in front of us was another one of Don's brothers, and this time he had an orange banadana. As usual, he looked like his brothers, except he was a bit thinner than Raphael and a bit bigger than Don. Anyway... Yay! I love orange. I don't know why. I used to love pink (because of Might Morphin' Power Rangers, I was the Pink Ranger, y'know!), but in 2nd grade I fell in love with the color orange. I don't know why. I tell myself that it's because Garfield is orange, but I always thought that there was a deeper meaning...
"Mikey, explain yourself. Now." Raphael tapped his foot in front of his brother. Mikey...?
"But bro..."
"Now, Mikey!"
"Okay, okay!" The orange bandana-wearing turtle sighed. This was Mikey? This was the guy who stole my bike? "I was going to meet up with a friend, and I didn't have anything to give her, dude! Totally embarassing. Last night, I asked Leo what I should give her. He said something really, really special. And the only thing I could think of was this crystal I saw one of the ninjas of the Foot was holding. So I got it, but when I was going to meet up with my friend already they chased me! Then I saw her," he pointed to me. "Actually I..." he laughed nervously. "I took her bike so.. she chased me.. and ended up here. Ow!" He covered his head as Raphael hit him.
"This is all your fault! Now bring her back home!"
"But Raaph," Mikey whined. "Can't it wait, pleeeaaase? I gotta beg for my friend's forgiveness after what happened a while ago! I practically stood her up; she must hate me! She'll never wanna talk to me again! And I thought she could've been someone like April, y'know? Except our age? She would've been really cool! Please? You gotta let me talk to her first!"
Raphael and Don looked to each other, and Raphael closed his eyes in annoyance. "Fine, fine! Hurry it up!"
Mikey just stood there. "Why the shell aren't you moving your lazy butt?" Raphael almost yelled. Mikey smiled nervously, "Haha, actually.. She isn't on yet."
"Then check again! What the shell kinda stupid game is that, anyway?"
"Last Chaos is not stupid!" Mikey frowned. "It's fun. And you get to meet a lot of nice people. Like Aura."
My jaw fell. Aura?
"Is that the girl you were going to meet?" Don asked. "Yep!" Mikey smiled.
"Aura?" I repeated. "Yeah," Raphael rolled his eyes again. "What, you're blind, rude, and deaf?"
"Speak for yourself!" I stomped my foot, but I had to concentrate on more important matters... Like Mikey! Mikey, Last Chaos, and Aura.
"And we were going to be such good friends, too..." Mikey sighed.
"Mikey!" I smiled, running towards him and hugged him as tight as I could. "It is you!"
"I'm confused," I heard Raphael tell Don. "I'm surprised I'm saying it, but me too, Raph." Don replied.
"Uhh... Have we met?" Mikey asked, patting my back.
"No," I smiled, pulling away from him and smiling. "But we were supposed to! Domino's, 4 PM! You were going to be wearing a trenchcoat and a fedora, remember? It's me... Aura! Well, I was going to tell you that my real name is actually Aurora when we met, but we didn't get to so I'll tell you now! I can't believe you'd be Mikey!"
Mikey blinked, then smiled widely. "Aura! I mean, Aurora!" He hugged me, and I think I broke a pair of ribs or two. "Yeah.. Mikey... Can' t breathe!"
"Oops," Mikey laughed, and let me go. "I can't believe it's you! You're Aur- er, Aurora! Wow!"
"Hooray, hooray, the two lovebirds meet," Raphael started clapping. "But can someone please explain what's happening before church bells chime?!"
"Shut up, Raphael," I stuck my tongue out at him. "Mikey, you explain. He's your stubborn brother."
Mikey laughed nervously as he turned to Raphael and Don. "Guys... Remember that girl I was telling you about yesterday?"
"You mean whining about," Don grinned.
"Yeah," Mikey had this cute nervous smile on his face. I wanted to squeeze his cheeks! "This is her! Aurora! Isn't she great?"
"She's awesome, Mikey," Don smiled. He was such a nice... turtle.
"Yeah, if you like sipping on lemons and eating broccoli," Raphael laughed. I narrowed my eyes at him. "You were right, Mikey. I do eat my words. Even if Don is awesome, Raphael is a complete pain in the... shell."
"You told her about us?!" Raphael clenched his fist.
"Well.. Haha... Not your names!"
"MIKEY!"
"Hey, guys, what's going on?" Another turtle entered the scene. This time, he had a blue bandana. He was kinda cute. Well, they were all cute. Cute... oversized turtles. Yeah. Except Raphael, because he always looked constipated. Or acted it. You know what I mean.
"Where've you been?" Raphael stopped getting ready to kill Mikey and started clenching his fist at the newcomer.
"Leo!" Mikey raised his arms in the air and ran to him. "Yeah, where have you been?"
"Hey Leo," Don just smiled. Was everybody on a sugar high here except Don? And Leo? Well, Mikey on a sugar high was cute anyway. Raphael was just mean.
Leo (as they called him) smiled at Don and Mikey, then turned to Raphael. "I was out buying groceries... It was my turn, remember?"
"Oh," Raphael looked embarrassed. "Yeah."
"Anyway," Leo looked at me. "Did April get plastic surgery?" Who's April?
Mikey started laughing. "No! This is Aura! Her real name is Aurora."
"Oh," Leo nodded. "The girl you were whining about yesterday?"
Mikey sighed. "Yes."
"And she knows about us?"
"Yes."
"And you're fine with it?" Leo asked me. I nodded, "Yeah, sure."
Leo smiled. "Well, has anyone given you the proper introductions?" I shook my head. Leo was so responsibly... er.. awesome.
"Great, I'll give them. I'm Leonardo. This is Donatello," he pointed to Don. "This is Michelangelo, but I'm sure you know him as Mikey already. And this is Raphael." He pointed to Mikey and Raphael.
Raphael crossed his arms. "I already know her."
"How?" Leonardo asked, his eyebrows (well, where his eyebrows were supposed to be) creasing.
"I bumped into him earlier," I explained.
"But before we get into another argument," Don started before Raphael could say anything. "Why doesn't Mikey bring you home now, Aurora?"
"Aww," Mikey pouted. "Why? We just met? Don't make me bring her home yet, please, Leo? Can I keep her? Pleeaase?" Keep me?
"You can't keep her, Mikey," Leonardo sighed. I looked to Raphael, who mouthed a 'THANK YOU' to Don and Leonardo. "But I guess it's up to Aurora, whether she wants to stay here for a while longer or not." Leonardo turned to me and smiled. "You're always welcome to stay, Aurora."
'NO!' mouthed Raphael. I smiled evilly as Mikey looked at me hopefully. "Really, Leonardo? That's nice of you. I think... I will stay for a while longer."
This update is longer than the first because I won't be able to update for a while. I'll try as much as I can, though. Hope you enjoyed reading it, review if you want to please! 'Till next time!
