Chapter 3
Donnie's POV
It was morning, we had newly finished our training and breakfasts. Leo and I read some books, Mikey played some Ocarina of time and Raph just chilled. I closed my book and looked at the clock,20 minutes left. Suddenly I got a feeling we'd forgotten something important Kate and Midnight said a few months ago to us. Wait..what date was it today?
"Leo, do you know what date it is today?" I asked. Leo didn't look up from the book but said
"14th of January, why?"
"Oh no.." I said. Kate had her birthday at the 15th and Midnight at 18th of January. I hadn't even bought a gift for her.
"Is there a problem with da 14th,Don?" Raph said from the armchair he laid in.
"You should know, our girlfriends are having their birthdays this week." I said and looked at Raph. He quickly sat up.
"No way, how could I forget 'bout Midnight's birthday? She's gonna kill me if I don't fix anything for 'er" Raph said.
"You guys aren't the only ones with that problem, me and Mike has to buy something as well since their family for us" Leo said.
He was right, but what could we get by now for the girls on such short time?
"Hey guys, why don't we throw them a party at Saturday? In that way we have plenty of time to fix something great for them." Mikey said.
Everyone stared at him, that was a great plan.
"We could ask Felicia, Rosie and April about girl present-advice, much easier that way" Mikey continued. We decided to make a surprise party for them with a lot of help.
"I'll call Felicia and April" Leo said and walked away.
"I'll call Rosie." Mikey said and walked away too. I looked at Raph.
"We're horrible boyfriends." I said.
"I'm worse. Ya remember when ya heard da date. I didn't." Raph said. Soon Mikey and Leo came back.
"We're gonna meet April, Rosie and Felicia at the mall in 20 minutes." Leo said.
"where in the mall?" I asked.
"At Starbucks." Mikey said. I nodded.
"Let's get ready then." I said and we walked to our rooms and changed into humans with clothes. We walked to the living room.
"Master Splinter, we're heading out!" Raph said.
"Be safe, my sons." He said. We nodded and walked out and to the mall. When we arrived at starbucks the girls were already there. Leo walked up to Felicia and kissed her cheek.
"Hi, Felicia." He said and smiled.
"Hi, Leo." She smiled back and hugged him.
I hugged April so did Raph and Mikey. Then Leo too. Rosie gave Mikey really long hug. Me and Leo didn't get such a long hug from her. Raph didn't hug anyone other than April.
"too scared to hug me, tough guy?" Rosie asked.
"I don't know ya two enough ta hug ya."He said. Leo rolled his eyes.
"I guess you need help with the planning and getting them presents?" April asked.
"yeah, we do." I answered.
"where are you gonna have the party?" Felicia asked. That was a really good question. We couldn't have it at our place. We live in a sewer plus Felicia and Melrose didn't know we were turtles and our dad was a rat. I'm not sure when we're gonna tell them that.
"We can have the party at my place" April said.
"We can't tell the girls about this if it's gonna be a surprise" Melrose said.
"But how are we supposed to get the girls over and not revealing the party?" Leo asked.
"Why doesn't April just asks them to come over to celebrate in a girl's way?" I said.
"That's a good idea" Felicia and Mikey said.
"Aren't we kinda pissin' them off by pretending not ta notice their birthdays?" Raph asked.
"Nah, they won't, they'll like the party" Mikey said.
"Now, let's go shopping!" Rosie said and we left to the stores.
Katherine's POV
I woke up and something felt different, Oh right,I was 16 now. I was really happy and couldn't wait to see what Donnie had bought for me when I got to school. I got dressed and went downstairs, surprisingly Alex ran up to me and gave me a big hug.
"Happy birthday, sis!" he said and pulled away from me.
"Thanks" I said.
My eyes quickly drifted to an wrapped up box on the table, that got to be from mom and dad. Inside the box were the latest SLR camera and a empty album and a note.
'You're creative so please enjoy this, Love mom and dad. P.S we'll be home tomorrow to celebrate you.'
I smiled at the note and got a smaller box from Alex. I opened up and saw a pair of purple converse, those reminded me of Donnie. "Thanks Alex, those are really nice!" I said and kissed his cheek. Felicia then came down and hugged me as well
"Happy birthday!" she said and then we ate breakfast. I didn't expect to get anything from her since her accident.
By eight we got ready for school, we went to meet up with Jojo and Rosie. I saw them walking out from their door and Jojo slapped Rosie on her head and she punched Jojo's arm. I always smiled when seeing their relation to each other, they were so mean but still so kind to each other.
"Happy b-day Kate!" I heard Rosie yell and they walked towards me.
"Here you go, best friend" Jojo said and handed me a present.
I opened up and saw a small high-tech computer. It was really advanced but I did understand it, though.
"Thank you, Jojo!" I said and hugged her.
"No problem" Jojo said and then the four of us walked away to school.
When we got to school I quickly got to my locker to get my history books. I walked to my class, took a seat and waited for Donnie, I really wanted to see him. It felt like forever until he came through the door, I started to smile really big.
Donnie's POV
I walked into class and saw Kate smile really big, I suppose she should since it was her birthday. I took the seat beside her and said
"Hi Kate!"
"Hi Donnie" She said without mention something about what day it was, maybe she forgot her own birthday. The class went on like usual and Kate didn't say anything off the topic,it wasn't until after class she asked. I walked out from the classroom when Kate stopped me, I had a bad feeling about this.
"Hi Donnie" She said and leaned on me.
"Hi Pretty" I said.
"Do you know what date it is today, Donnie?" She asked me.
"The 15th?"I answered to not spoil the plan.
"Well, yes but do you know what day it is?" She asked.
"Um..Tuesday?" I said.
"No, it's a very special day today, it just happens once a year." She said and stopped leaning on me.
"Have we already been together a year?" I asked, Kate was very stubborn and wasn't planning on give up this one.
"No, we don't" She said.
"What is it then?" I asked.
"Are you seriously saying you don't remember? I mentioned it just 3 days ago!" She said in a little mad voice.
"What?" I asked.
"Incredible, you're a genius but can't even remember what day it is!" She almost yelled at me,this was new for me,I hadn't seen her this mad before.
"Why are you so mad, you got a problem?" I asked.
"Yeah, you!" She yelled and walked away. "Kate!" I yelled and was about to catch up with her when the bell rang. This was perfect, for the first time I had made the calm Kate into a mini version of Midnight.
Katherine's POV
I was so mad right now, this was pretty rare since it took alot to make me mad but Donnie had made it on a record time. How could he not know what day it was?! I had to shake it off before it got worse, me at my rage point was not fun. I was about to walk downstairs when Leo stopped me, maybe he remembered what day it was.
"Hi Kate" he said with a friendly smile. He didn't seem to remember it either.
"Hi Leo" I said and tried to not sound mad, I failed.
"Wait, you seem annoyed about something." he said.
"Please tell me you know what day it is" I said, almost begging.
"15th of January, Tuesday, why?" he said. Obviously Leo didn't know either, now that kinda pissed me off.
"You're funny Leo, you say you're like my big brother and don't know what day it is" I said in a harsh tone.
"What?" he said.
"Forget it, you're just like Donnie!" I said and walked away.
Later at lunch I saw everyone already were by the table, my only hope was that Mike or Raph remembered.
I sat down and got greeted by Donnie.
"Hi pretty, are you still mad?" he asked me. I shot him a death glare, he jumped a little by that and everyone seemed to notice.
"Have I missed something?" Jojo asked.
"No, but Donnie and Leo has" I answered before putting in a potato in my mouth.
"Yes, finally Leo and Donnie forgot something" Mikey said.
"You and Raph doesn't seem to remember it either." I answered.
"Remember what?" Raph asked.
"See, you don't remember either!" I said really annoyed.
"Wait, have they forgotten what day it is?" Jojo asked.
"Yep" I said mad. The guys seemed surprised that I was mad, this was the first time I showed it.
"What jerks!" Rosie said.
"What's wrong? It's nothing special today" Mike said. Now that really hurt.
"Thanks Mike!" I said annoyed and left with Jojo following me.
Felicia's POV
I kinda felt bad for lying to my own cousin, she was like my sister. Everyone now stared at Mikey.
"What, wasn't that a good lie?" Mikey asked.
"That was a mean lie" Leo said. Raph was about to hit Mikey but I stopped him and hit Mikey instead.
"OW! What was that for?!" Mikey whined.
"For you being so stupid, don't you think you hurt Kate's feelings when you said that?" I said.
"Hey, don't blame Mikey, me and Leo hurt her feelings too" Don said.
"Obviously, I have never seen her dat mad before" Raph said.
"You weren't better, you didn't say anything at all" Rosie said.
"I think Kate is turning to a mini-version of Midnight when she's mad, and I don't like that" Donnie said.
"If Kathy's getting this mad, I wonder how mad Midnight will be on Friday" Mikey said and rubbed his arms.
"That's true, she kinda got a temper" Rosie said.
"You don't say?" Everyone said and looked at her.
Joanna's POV
A few days later Kate was still mad at the guys but I didn't care, today was my birthday. I know that Brooklyn-boy would NEVER forget about me, because that would hurt me and he doesn't like to see me hurt.
When I got downstairs to the kitchen I was surprised to see both my parents there.
"Happy 16th –birthday, sweetie!" My mom said and gave me a hug.
"Thanks mom" I said and hugged her back.
Then my dad embraced me into a huge hug.
"I can't believe you're 16 already, It was like yesterday I held you for the first time" my dad said.
"Dad, I will always be your little girl" I said.
He kissed my forehead
"Thank god for that" he said and then pulled away.
I sat down by the breakfast table and got surprised when mom handed over a plate with nutella- pancakes, my favorite.
"Here you go, sweetie" mom said.
"YAY! Nutella-pancakes, thanks mom!" I said and started to eat, then Melrose came downstairs, she wasn't gonna destroy my birthday.
I got surprised when she came towards me and gave me a hug.
"Happy b-day,cuz!" She said, I didn't want to hug her back but dad gave me a glare so I forced myself to pat her back.
"Thank you" I said and continued eating.
"Oh, before we forget, here's your birthday present" dad said and handed me a big box.
I opened up and inside I saw a guitar, god I hadn't played in years. Last time I'd played was together with Kate and her flute and that was in 7th grade, but I did smile because it was a really good gift and I liked music..
"Thanks mom, thanks dad" I said and smiled.
I finished my breakfast and took my guitar to my room. Then I went downstairs to the hall and put my jacket, shoes, grabbed my backpack and left with Melrose right behind me.
"Bye!" I yelled and then we took off, we then met up with Felicia and Kate. Felicia was the first one to hug me
"Happy birthday, Midnight!" She said.
"Thanks Felicia" I said.
Then Kate gave me a hug that almost strangled me.
"Happy birthday, Jojo!" she said.
"Geez Kate, you hug worse than Mikey does" I said and pulled away.
"Sorry, but I got a really special gift for you" Kate said and handed over the present, it was nothing big but I wasn't the person for big things.
When I opened it I started smile like Mikey always did, so I smiled like an idiot.
"Oh my god Kate..thanks.." I said. The gift was a REALLY perfect gift, it was an photo album of me and Kate since Kindergarten and 'til now. I didn't understand where she found all those pictures.
"I thought you would like it." Kate said.
"Like it? I LOVE it!" I said and now it was my turn to give her a death hug.
I pulled away and we walked to school.
It was kinda boring until my free period because I knew that Brooklyn-boy had his free period too so I ran around the school to find him.
After a while I found him by his locker and he was leaning on it with his arms crossed, like he usually did. Sometimes I got the feeling that he stood there every time we had free period together and waited for me. And I always found him.
"Brooklyn-boy!" I yelled and started to run towards him. He stopped leaning and walked a bit forward. I made a jump and he caught me, I locked my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck.
"Wow, yer happy today" he said and smiled.
"Of course I'm happy, don't you remember?" I said with a huge smile.
"Wait, have we already been together for a year?" he asked me confused.
"Uh, no? You need to work on your math." I said with a weird face.
"Oh, what is it then?" He asked.
I got of him and just stared at him.
"Y'know it ain't pretty ta stare" he said jokingly.
"You don't know why I'm happy today, do you, Raph?" I said.
"It's Friday and no more school for da rest of da week?" he asked, I could see he got a little afraid because I only said Raph when it was serious. I looked at him in disbelief. He's hiding something from me. I crossed my arms and looked straight in his eyes.
"You're hiding something." I said.
"No I don't." He lied. He was a good liar but not good enough.
"Stop lying!" I almost yelled.
"I'm not lying! I really don't know what day it is!" I couldn't tell if he lied or not.
"I can't believe you, Raphael!" I yelled.
"What's da problem, babe?" He asked, I shot him a death glare, you never call me a babe.
"You don't call me babe!" I said and slapped him in the face and walked away. My own boyfriend didn't remember my birthday, now I know how Kate felt. On my way back to my locker I met up with Mikey.
"Hi, dudette!" He yelled happily.
"Shut up, Mike!" I yelled mad and walked past him.
"What have I done?" He asked a little sad. Oh no, I hurt his feelings.
"Sorry, Mikey. It's not you I'm mad at." I said.
"let me guess, it was Raphie boy." He said and put up a finger.
"Raphael, yes I'm mad at him." Mikey dropped his jaw. I never said the guys first name.
"What did he do?" Mikey asked.
"It's not something he did, it's something he didn't do." I said.
"Oh, what?" He asked.
"You should know. You haven't done it either." I said and left with a confused Mikey behind.
At lunch I saw everyone by the table, Kate wasn't talking to the boys ever since her birthday, but when I saw Brooklyn-boy I got a smirk on my face. He had a red mark on his cheek, that was a great slap. I sat down next to Kate.
"Do you know what happened to Raph?" Kate whispered.
"He deserved it" I whispered back.
"You slapped him because he didn't remembered your birthday?" Kate whispered.
"You haven't said a whole sentence to yours since Tuesday" I whispered.
"Touché" Kate whispered back.
"And he called me babe too" I whispered
"What!?" She almost yelled. Now all in the cafeteria stared at us.
"Is something wrong?" Da Vinci asked.
"Only you guys!" me and Kate said at the same time.
"Seriously, what have we done?!" Mikey asked.
Kate and I rose up and then Kate pointed to Donnie and Brooklyn-boy and yelled
"You two are horrible boyfriends!" Then I pointed to Mike and Da Vinci.
"And you two are horrible friends!" I yelled.
Felicia and Melrose just stared at us and then they walked over to us and tried to calm us down.
"Katherine, calm down, this is not you even when you're mad." Felicia said and hugged Kate.
I saw Kate calm down a bit but she was still mad.
"You should calm too, Joanna, this is too much hothead" Rosie said and put her hand on my shoulder. I removed it and tried to calm down.
"I'm still mad, can I do one thing?" I said.
"Only if you're not gonna hit someone" Rosie said.
I smirked and I took my glass of milk and poured over Brooklyn-boy's head. He was furious now but didn't do anything.
Me and Kate left and suddenly heard how the whole cafeteria started to applause because of our out-rage on the guys.
Raph's POV
I saw when Midnight and Kate walked away. My hair and the top off my shirt was soaking wet with milk. I was really angry and wanted to hit someone, but I couldn't hit Midnight or the other girls so I hit the closest one to me and that happened to be Mikey.
"OW! What's your problem?!" Mikey whined
"It's yer fault, yah said dat da girls wouldn't get mad at us! I don't call dis happy!" I said and pointed to my hair.
"Dude, chill, the girls will forget it tomorrow." Mikey said. Don and I looked at each other and then at Mikey.
"I hope so, I want to keep my girlfriend" Don said.
"And if yer wrong, yah won't be able ta go to school in a while" I said.
Mikey gulped and let out a single "Meep?"
