*Flashback*
Dear Three Brothers
I know you want to keep safe from the cruel world.
To shield me from harm.
You would go too far to hit someone for my sake.
You are my shoulder to cry on.
I am lucky to have three wonderful brothers, but it is time for me to set my place and make my own decision, even if I make mistakes.
Please, do not worry about me. Please, do not follow me. Please, do not protect me from I'm now strong and independent.
But, remember this. I must thank you for not what you did for me, but you made the person I am. Thank you, my three brothers…by Pen-Woman.
Disclaimer: I do not own TMNT 2012, Nickelodeon owns them, but I own this story.
Mikey is really, really, REALLY regretting her decision.
She thought she can handle this without her Brother's help, she can take of herself I mean she is a Kunoichi for shell's sake. But now, she is a nervous wreck.
She managed to sneak out of the safety of her home and jump on every rooftop to get to her destination, Chris's dojo. Her plan is simple she finds Chris, say hello, become awesome friends (or in her mind soul mates), and she can do her smugly/victory dance and tell her brothers the very words they dislike the most "I told you so".
But, her feet won't seem to coöperate with her since she reached Chris's Dojo like they are glued to the floor.
"Aw, c'mon on feet, don't fail me now after we got here." She mumbles to herself.
"Just go down there, knock on his door, and when he opens the door I'll say…I'll say…gosh, what am I going to say to him?" Mikey never crosses her mind on what sentence she's going to say to Chris Bradford the super-star.
She is pressing her head as she begs it to come up with anything to impress Chris Bradford when suddenly she hears a door open and closes. She looks down and gasps.
There he is in person and he is like everything she pictured him to be.
Chris Bradford in the flesh is closing his dojo for the night and he is walking back to his place. Mikey feels like a stalker, but she couldn't help herself. That guy is amazing in every way and to see him in person made her heart soar with admiration.
She'll lose her chance if Chris is gone and she will never prove anything to her Brother if she backs out. She gotta do it or regret later.
'It's now or never.' determent she jumps off the rooftop to finally greet face to face with Chris Bradford, she squeals in pure excitement in her head.
As Chris walks away from his dojo to get home he sensed a presence closing in on him thanks to his training. He waits for a right moment for his whoever he/she is he'll strike. Mikey landed safely and gracefully right behind Chris as she restrains herself from screaming.
She begins to think of something cool to say before she'll make a fool out of herself in front of a major superstar, she cleared her throat and spoke.
"Hey," that got Chris to turn around in very slow motion and Mikey starts to see sparkling stars all over Chris.
He is just so perfect in everything from perfect hair, his board muscles, and those amazing blue eyes that made her legs turn to jelly. Mikey had this dreamy look on her face as she sighs dreamily and said.
"Wow~ you look more amazing and perfect in person~" but that perfect moment has broken from the moment when Chris attack Mikey using a multiple of Shurikens.
Mikey shrieked in surprise as she quickly dodges every shuriken without a glitch.
"I've been attacked by CHRIS BRADFORD! That so cool but not so cool if I die~" she commented before she yelped when another Shuriken was aiming at her face but luckily she dodges it.
She looks up just in time to see Chris about to throw another weapon, she opens her mouth to say something before he turns her into a turtle kebab which does not sound appetizing.
"No!" she side-stepped.
"Wait a minute" she side-stepped again.
"I mean you no harm." She ducks the incoming weapon.
Chris halts his attack and looks at her with a puzzled look.
He thought she's here to attack him but it looks to him that she is not, she didn't draw her weapons. If she didn't come to attack him then why is she here then?
What poor Mikey doesn't know about that Chris Bradford the all-time superstar is actually the armored Ninja that attacked her and her Brothers from before, but she doesn't know that.
"What?"
"I came in peace," she said showing her peace sign.
"I know it's hard to believe, but I'm your biggest fan! And I wanted to be your friend, that's all." She added as she showing to him that she is truly sincere.
Chris is baffled that the foolish creäture wants to befriend him who happened to be her enemy, but she doesn't know that. Although, he can use her to get information out of her like, per say, her Master's location. If he gains her trust, know where they're hiding, demolish them and their Sensei, and Shredder will be more than pleased.
He smiles at his brilliant idea and quickly put on his act.
"Oh! I'm terribly sorry, it just it's not like every day I get to meet…someone like you."
"Yeah," she rubbed her neck nervously as she adds.
"But, you are like the best Martial Art guy ever. I've read your magazines, and I keep watching you on TV, and you are like a most awesome dude, and…I've always wanted to meet you and…" she stopped and look at her with an uncertain expression.
"You're…not afraid me, are you?" she asked.
In truth which Chris loath with every passion, but he must admit he was a little alarmed when he first encounter them. See them talking, walking like their real people, and fighting like Ninjas. Talk about loony with the side of nutty.
He keeps his thought to himself and forced a smile to make this Turtle believe he's a friend.
"Now why would I be afraid of you? You seem like a nice girl…you are a girl, right?" he asked slowly and Mikey shake his head up and down with a grin.
"Right, um uh, why don't you come inside? It's pretty cold outside." Once he said and left to open the dojo and Mikey was left with pure shock as her mind process on what he just said.
'Chris Bradford…the Chris Bradford is inviting me to his dojo because he was worried about me getting cold…Oh…My…God!' now she really wanted to scream.
But later, she hastily followed Chris, her perfect gentleman, to see his amazing dojo.
'My Brothers are not going to believe this.'
'My Brothers are going to murder me'
She peeked by the lair's entrance with a look that clearly says "I am in so much trouble right now". She had spent her one of the best night of her teenage mutant's life with Chris Bradford, and now she'll be dead on the same night all because she forgot her curfew.
The time is 2:15 AM and she knows for sure that her Brothers are most likely waiting in both anxious and worried about her, and don't get her started with Master Splinter. He is ten times more worried, more anxious; and more likely ground her for her entire life for being late.
She prayed to the God that he can spare her from her family's wrath and hope they are not TOO mad. She releases a sigh and walks down the turnstiles and she is surprised that she found no one in the living room.
'Where is everybody?' that doesn't seem right, won't her Brothers and her Father would be in a living room waiting for her. She looks everywhere and still no one is around and she has a dreading feeling that something will about to erupt, but nevertheless, she opens her lips and spoke real low.
"Hello~" just one word, one simple small word that suddenly they all come out of hiding, all surrounding her are three over-protective brothers in their full mad/upset/worried sick mode.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?" all of them snarl out right at her face as Mikey yelped in surprise that her bandana tail went straight up.
She shrinks herself as soon as she saw the look on her Brother's faces, she never seen them so angry, so scared before. Probably it's worse than the time where she got herself separated from her Brothers when they went topside together and fought the Kraang the first time.
They quickly run into her, expressing their worry and their worry intensify when she started sprouting about evil alien brains controlling evil robots on its chest. Donnie went full doctor-mode to check up on her to see if she hit her head and comforting her like a baby which Mikey hates it.
Anyway, she pushed away from the unwanted memory as she about to deal with three terrifying brothers before her.
"Look, just let me explain."
"Oh! Okay, why not start explaining to us on why you went topside, all alone, no note, and had us worried half to death?" said Leo as he narrowed his eyes while on the outside he looks calm, but inside he's raging mad with worry.
"Please, dear sister of mine enlighten me." He crosses his arms as he waits for her explanation, or rather an excuse to get her out of it which she knows she can't because she'll be grounded. Lie or no to lie.
Mikey is fiddling with her fingers as she tries a hard time choosing, either tell her Brothers what she did and ready to face to whatever horrible consequences, or lie to cover what she did but she will be punished, but with minimal penalties.
No matter how she thinks both ideas are bad, and not to mention her Brothers are getting agitated and edgy with each passing minute. She gotta say something, anything before they get boiled. So with a deep breath, she spoke at last.
"Well, you see this is actually quite interesting and it's true! You see it was, what really happens is, is 'uh'" Mikey is stammering with her words and Raph roll his eyes.
"Well, that is the first time for everything. She runs out of her excuses." He said with a frown, and before Mikey can protest, Donnie step up.
"Honestly Mikey, what were you thinking? Can't you imagine how terrified we were when we found out you're not in your room! We almost going to tear up the lair up-side-down to find you, and just we are about to go topside Master Splinter order us to stay put and wait for ungodly hours for you. We want to go against Sensei's order, heck even Leo wants to break Sensei's rule but no, we just sat here worrying non-stop, wondering if you were okay, and pray that no Kraang or those mysterious Ninjas we fought from before didn't find you, and now here you are stuttering to come up with your perfect excuse like you always do." After he concludes it, he covers half of his face with one hand as he shakes his head feeling a pounding headache and then he looks at her with a pained expression, and Maddie felt her heart split in two by guilt.
"Mike, I…I just want to hear the truth, no more excuses whatsoever, please." He pleads for her to come clean now.
Mikey feels so awful right now for causing brothers like this, she didn't mean it she just wants to prove them wrong not scaring them to death. So, she pushed the latter away and starts telling them the truth…in a very, tiny, little whisper.
None of them, of course, didn't quite catch that.
"What?" Donnie questioned, Mikey tried again and yet nobody heard her.
"Michelangela!" Leo tells her full name which can only he is a warning to spit out now or else.
Mikey moan as she watches her brothers are losing their patience, and then Raph couldn't take it and bellow.
"Would you just spit out already!"
"IwenttopsidetoseeChrisBradford!" she finally said but way too fast, however, her Brothers managed to catch it what she said.
"….YOU DID WHAT!?" all of them had screamed at her in unison.
Oh boy, now she really regretted telling them.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" they all turn to face Master Splinter as he finally emerges out of his dojo.
Master Splinter looks calm and collected on his face, but his children know him very well that he is far from calm and collected, he is beyond question upset since his eyes are locked on his only Daughter whose she has her head bow down in shame and guilt.
He walks while his eyes still locked on his Daughter, his youngest child who deliberately caused her family apprehension for her foolish, unknown attempt, and left without a word. He is exceedingly upset.
Leonardo, Raphael, and Donatello back away for their Master to pass as Splinter reached, and look down at his Daughter.
"Look at me." His tone is calm but plainly angry and it's making her flinch.
"Daughter!" she tenses and then she looked up with her big baby blue eyes that she really, really, really sorry and she didn't mean to.
Master Splinter closes his eyes as he sighs through his snout, calming down just a bit before he reopens them again.
"I need to be sure what I heard is not true, so tell me did you show yourself to a human?" He hopes, really hoping that his Daughter didn't do the irrational way, but to his fear confirm him when he saw the look upon his Daughter's face as she said.
"Yes…" she mummers.
"Not just any human." That was Raph who interrupted it with an angry scowl of his own.
He would never admit to anyone, not to his own family but he was so scared, no, the word scared doesn't sound right. He was past scared he was terrified from within that his Sister went missing.
He just went to her room to talk to her only to find her door was unlocked and she was nowhere to be found. He calls out her name many times, he searched for her high and low in the lair, and he couldn't find her. He went up to Leo and Donnie told her she was gone and he blamed himself for he was at fault that his sister went missing and know nothing where she went or was she okay.
And it made things more than worse when his Father told them not to leave the lair till Mikey return, he was seriously flipping mad with dreaded worry as his mind reeling with possible that his Sister could be in trouble and he is not with her where she needed him to be.
Now here she is here and did the stupidest thing in the whole damn world that she would've been caged or worse get killed on the spot.
"She went to see Chris Bradford, Sensei. I told you before that you should talk her out of it and look what happens." Raph concluded as his glare fixed on Mikey sulked form.
Splinter raises his eyebrow as he remembers the person's name, he's Michelangela's idol so he's the root of the problem. He sighs in annoying fashion and mumbling teenagers.
"Before I can give you a proper punishment answer me one thing…why did you do it, Michelangela?" He asked in hope that whatever her reason is good and it better be good.
Now Mikey feels a little bashful and that blush didn't help her with her situation, but she must tell him since she is feeling guilty for making everyone worry about her so they have to know. She takes a deep breath, let it out slowly, and open her lips and say.
"I know you guys probably thinking that I'm one of those crazily obsessed fangirls that want to get their grubby hands on him and tear off his facial hair and treat them like treasured relics…okay, maybe I did touch him a wee bit…I made it worse when I said it." She got side-tracked and it made things ten times worse by the look on their faces, she hastily defends herself.
"Forget what I just said what I'm trying to say is that…I was only trying to befriend him." Now that's Splinter didn't foresee it coming.
"Befriend him?"
"Yeah!" Then her expression changes into gleefully excited one as she continues her explanation.
"And you never have guessed what happened, Sensei. Hehe! Okay, get this Chris Bradford himself has actually accepted my friendship! BOW, can you believe it!?" all her past worry were all gone and she starts dancing boogie dance right in front of her family without care while they look at her with unbelievable expressions.
Splinter just raised one rigid eye at his Daughter as she dances happily, Leo and Donnie share astonished expression for pulling off such a task she had actually made friend with a super-star almost hard to believe. But, Raphael had the worst reaction, his left eye is twitching, his lower lip is slightly opened, and he is shaking in shock that he, at last, snapped like a twig.
"No freakin' way!?" it got Mikey to halt her mid-dance and look at Raph in surprise as well as his rest of his family.
"I don't believe a single thing that happened! No, I don't want to believe it because it sounded utterly insane!" and again Raph just let his mouth talk without thinking it through which Splinter, Leonardo, and Donatello give him the disapproving gaze, but Mikey looks hurt and offended and mad.
She comes right in front of her big brother fully without feeling intimidating height difference.
"First you called me hideous and now a liar!" her knuckles fisted tightly and shaken with fury.
"What?! Wait, no that's not what I meant,"
"It sounded to me it sounds what you meant."
"Fine! You wanna know what I meant this whole thing is horse crap! What made you think for a second that Chris guy wants to be your friend?"
"Why can't you admit that you are wrong about Chris and everyone? Why can't you understand?" Raphael and Michelangela are inches close to their faces with even ferocity.
"I don't wanna understand what I want that you stop before you'll do something stupid!"
"This isn't stupid you're being stupid!"
"THAT IS ENOUGH!" Master Splinter bellowed for had enough to see two children arguing at each other throat as Raph and Mikey flinch.
"This has to stop this very minute and I don't want to hear another insult at one another. This whole thing is pointless and ridiculous."
"No, it's not Sensei." It surprised Splinter to find his Daughter to protest which she never did before and stares at him with the unsmiling look.
"Raphael is being impossible," she never uses his full name unless is serious, then she turns to look at Raphael.
"Why can't you see the positive side? Why do you always insist that people are bad?"
"Do you wanna know why? I'll tell ya because people from above can never hope to understand us…ever!"
"That is not good enough reason."
"Well, it's good enough for me! Forget about that Chris guy because it's not worth your time."
"But…"
"NO BUTS! As long you live under the same roof as I am you will not going to see that Chris-wannabe whether you like it or not!"
She looks at him with shattered hope and hurt on her face before she turns it into a furious scowl and she growls at Raph…she really growls at hot-headed brother, and storms off to her sanctuary, her room. But Raph saw something on her that causes him to cringe…He saw swelling tears forming in her eyes, and he caused this.
Mikey went up to her room and close it with a loud bang and all that leaves is one heavy and intense silence hung over on the Hamato Clan.
I made chapter 2 everyone and I hope you guys like it and if there are any grammar errors then I apologize and furthermore keep looking forward to more chapters to come, see ya.
