Authors note: So, its been two/three months since I've updated this story, but here is the fourth chapter of this story. Sorry for the long wait, since I am in college, and its busy and what not. Anyway, hope you like this chapter. On with the story.
When I woke up the next morning, I realized that it was the first time in a long ass time that I've been able to wake up peacefully, considering that my so called brother isn't being obnoxiously loud. Why he was obnoxiously loud, because he would be playing video games and screaming at the TV if the character didn't do what he had wanted it to do.
Anyway, I climbed out of bed, I looked at the time and it read 10:30. Man, I thought, I haven't woken up this late since forever. Man, have I've been missing out on a lot of sleep or what?
I grabbed my bag from the closet and pulled out my notebook.
Day 1: First full day in New York City
So, when I had gotten here yesterday, Casey had made a huge commotion in the airport. And when I say huge, I mean huge. He must've felt bad for being late or something like that. But my luck is on that he had completely forgotten that he had to pick me up at the airport and came charging in without looking. So what did I do you may ask? I pulled him out of the chaos that he had created and walked over to get the rest of the luggage that I couldn't bring on board with me. When we had gotten there, he didn't recognize me, at all. Once I had said who I was, he didn't believe me, but I proved him wrong.
So after the whole airport incident, my day had only gotten better. Well, not better per say, but it did get more interesting at least. Once we had gotten to Casey's apartment complex, we had completely walked past his apartment and had to backtrack about five or so feet. But that wasn't the best part of my first few hours here. The best part didn't come until later, when I had met the two humanoid turtles. I think Casey had said that their names with Michelangelo and Raphael. But I could be wrong; I have been in the past. Anyway, when I had first seen them, I had fainted. Yes, I fainted, not something I do often, so get used to it people. When I had woken up from the faint, I was on the couch, with my head banging at a million miles an hour. Thankfully, Casey had walked in at that moment with aspirin and a glass of water, which I had gladly accepted. Once that was down, I had gone back into the kitchen to see if there was pizza left, and there was. Sadly, the pizza was kind of cold, but that didn't stop me from eating it. While eating said pizza, I had found out that these turtles that I had met were not only ninjas that helped the city, they had two other brothers and a dad named Master Splinter.
After that whole thing with the turtles was over, there was a knock at the door and surprise, surprise; it was Casey's girlfriend, whose name I eventually found out to be April. When the whole ordeal of me seeing them make-out for like five minutes, I decided that it would be nice to leave them be, so I did and went to unpack things and whatnot in the room I'm currently in. So that was my incredible first few hours at New York.
On a side note, waking up peacefully for once was actually nice, and not annoying. I did wake up later than normal and sleep very well, since my brother isn't here to make obnoxious sounds and what not.
To wrap this up, I'll say something interesting. Take each day as it is and only hope for the best.
The End. Until next time, reporter Le is off duty. Hope to see you guys next time. *off stage,* and clear.
Closing the notebook, I set it on the table near my bed and walked out of the room. And what do I do, I walk directly into Casey, falling on my ass. I grunted and said, "Sorry didn't see you there Casey. Aren't you supposed to be at work or something?"
"Not really," he replied, "You slept for a really long time, you realize this right?"
"I did fall asleep extremely early last night, didn't I? But that's no the point is it. I just want to know what's for breakfast since I've been up for the past 15/20 minutes and you didn't even check if I was awake yet."
He looked at me funny, nodded his head and said, "How are you related to Cleopatra again? You're so different than her?"
"Uh, she gave birth to me. Oh, and I kind of look like her, well at least I used to until I dyed my hair and completely changed my wardrobe to things I like."
"I can tell. Anyway, April is here with breakfast, since you did ask for breakfast and what not," he said while heading back to the kitchen. I shook my head, got up and followed him to the kitchen. As soon I sat down on a chair, I said, "He really doesn't have any manners do he? I ran smack into him, fell on my ass and didn't one sorry or let me help you up."
"That's Case for ya. You gotta remember, he's a guy that's been on his own for a long time and has lost all sense of manners," April said while trying not to laugh.
"I heard that," said Casey, "I didn't lose my manners."
"You were supposed to and yes you did. Anyway, hope you like bacon and pancakes, cause that's what I brought."
"Yea, I love bacon and pancakes," I said while stuffing some pancakes in my mouth. Once I swallowed, I looked up at April, took a bite of bacon and said, "What?"
She shook her head and said, "You and Casey are definitely related, that's for sure."
I shrugged and continued to eat breakfast.
Once breakfast was finished, I had hoped that I would've been able to hop into the shower, but Casey was already in it, so instead, I decided to go to the park. Of course I left him a note and what not, and walked to the park that was down the street.
