That night I slept on the couch, it wasn't uncomfortable but it wasn't the best either. The TV was muted but it was still on, Leo was sleeping on the floor while others were in their rooms. Lying I missed him even more, I closed my eyes, I slowed my breathing and thought of happier times, before Dooms Day. I felt myself drifting off into a deep sleep; I hoped and prayed I could see The Doctor again.
In the morning as I opened my eyes I could see Leo now awake, but still one the floor. The TV was no longer muted, in fact it was pretty loud, not to mention Mikey and Raph were yelling over some video game. I moaned and sat up, my neck was killing me, like I said, not the most comfortable couch. Leo looked at me and smiled, "Look who's finally awake." I shook my head, and stood up to stretch. I looked around for Donnie but he wasn't anywhere to be found, Raph must have sensed what I was thinking "Donnie's in his lab, he wanted to work on you thingy right away." I rolled my eyes "Dimension Cannon, but thank you for telling me." I walked into Donnie's lab, which was covered in machines of some sort. As I entered I saw Donnie furiously staring at my cannon. He looked up at me and gave a weary smile. "Did you make this?" I nodded and walked up to him putting a hand on his shoulder. He sighed "It's really complex where in the world did you learn about all of this." I sighed "My father knew a ;little about machines, and my friend Mickey worked at a tech place for a while, plus, a friend of mine knew a lot about this, I guess I learned from being with him so much." It still pained me to speak of him; Donnie must have known this for he said in a soothing tone. "I promise you Rose, I will fix this, and you will see him again."
I smiled, he was so dedicated to helping others, and we talked a little longer, until I could hear my stomach gurgle. Donnie laughed and stood up, "Let's get you something to eat." We laughed and left the lab, Leo was reciting the show he was watching, Mikey was now dancing and Raph was reading a comic book. Raph looked up at us and threw a pizza box at Donnie. "Ya guys gotta eat." We opened the box to find a normal looking pizza, but once I took a slice and bit into it I realized it had some kind of syrup in it. "Eww, why is there syrup?" Mikey ran up to me and took my slice "Cause it tastes sooo GOOD!" I shook my head "It most certainly does not" Mikey stared at me a little then let out a girly giggle "I love your accent." I felt myself blush a little, then sighed "Do you have any REAL food?" Everyone just looked at me as if I were an alien.
"This IS real food Rose." My eyes widened, they actually believed they were eating normally. "I'll go up and get something to eat; I have some money on me. No one objected but out of the corner of my eye I could see Leo texting someone. I figured my way out of the sewers and reached the surface, the bright sun burned my eyes, but I got used to it again very quickly. As I walked down the street I noticed, this dimension was almost exactly like my home, minus the animated look of everything. I reached a small noodle place; apparently they also served breakfast dumplings.
As I entered the place I saw an old man cooking for one little girl, she had red hair pulled into a pony tail, she had a yellow shirt on and shorts on top of leggings. I sat down one seat away from her, the man, how was making some sort of dumpling, he glanced over to where I was sitting and smiled. "Why hello, I don't believe you've come here before what's your name?" I smiled He wore dark glasses, but I think I knew why. "I'm Rose, but may I ask how you knew I was new?" He smiled and let out a soft laugh "So you can tell I'm blind?" I giggled a little as he walked over to me, I could feel shifty glances coming from the girl next to me. "And what would you like to eat Ms. Rose?" I looked up at the blackboard; I assumed someone else wrote the menu because the hand writing was so nice.
"I would like the omelet dumpling please." He nodded; he took off the other dumplings and gave them to the girl. "Arigato." She bowed; she was a very polite girl. I guess she knew I was staring at her, for she stuck out her hand. "I'm April, so your name is Rose?" I nodded and took her hand. "Yes, Rose Tyler." She seemed like a nice girl but he second I turned away I could once again sense her glares; I guess I wasn't very welcomed here.
