Chapter 16 Irma's date with Barney Stockman
"I can't believe I'm going on a date with some guy that kidnapped my friends. I'm so not dressing up for this" Irma said to herself as she just brushed her hair, grabbed her purse and headed out the door to the prison. "Hi I'm here to see Barney Stockman. He is excepting me" Irma told the cop behind the front desk. "Of course he is expecting you" said the cop as he led Irma to the prison cafeteria that had a velvet rope closing off a section just for them. "Irma you look lovely this evening" Barney said as he greeted her and kissed her hands. "Thanks Barney" answered Irma as she sat down on the table across from Barney. "The prison cook gave me extra tacos because I told him about our date" Barney stated as he put down the tray of food. "How in the world were you able to do for this including the velvet rope?" Irma asked. "After I arrived in prison at first I wanted to plot my revenge against the turtles for putting me in here but then I realize what's the point I'm just going to land myself in jail again. I tutor some of the other inmates in Science as part of this Education program they have for the prisoners who want to better themselves Educational wise. The warren is pleased at what I have been doing so he told me if I ever needed a favor as long it was legal he could make it happen. I told him about your visit and how I wanted a private date with you" answered Barney. "Wow no guy has ever done something like this for me before" exclaimed Irma as she and Barney started eating.
While Irma was eating she kept thinking to herself, "I really want this date to end but at least Barney is being a gentleman. But at the same time I just want to get the formula and help Mona Lisa." As Irma's date with Barney Stockman continued Barney's brother Baxter who was still a fly along with Rock Steady and Bebop came into the cafeteria to get dinner. "Hey look it's that Irma girl" Rock Steady pointed out as he Bebop and Baxter saw what was going on. "My brother is on a date with the friend of that reporter I wonder why?" Baxter thought to himself as he quietly flew over to spy on his brother's date. "Ok Barney I came and had dinner with you and surprisingly the food wasn't as bad as I imagined. Now can I please have the formula that way my friend Mona can be cured of her mutation?" requested Irma. "Of course my dear but first I want to give you something I made in art class" answered Barney as he pulled out a license plate with Irma's name on it. "Wow I never had something as unique as this thank you Barney" said Irma as she looked at her gift. "You're welcome my dear and here are my notes which contain the formula for reversing your friend's mutation" said Barney as he was about to hand over his note book when all of a sudden Baxter shouted out, "You're giving away the notes we created together? HOW COULD YOU?!" "For her it's worth it" Barney stated as he and Baxter knocked each other to the floor and started fighting. "GET OFF OF ME BAXTER!" Barney demanded as he and his brother continued fighting. The note book that Barney wanted to give to Irma fell from his pocket and landed in Irma's hands. "Well I got what I came here for" Irma thought to herself as she left the prison while the guards dealt with the Stockman brothers.
After Irma got out of the prison she called April and told her everything that happened. "Were you able to get Barney Stockman's notes?" April asked. "Yes and he also made me a present in his prison art class" Irma answered as she headed back to Mona's aunt and uncle's Lab to give them what she was able to get and hoped that Mona would be ok real soon. "This wasn't the worst I've ever been but I'm never going out with Barney Stockman again since I still think of him as a weirdo" said Irma. "I don't blame you Irma. Plus I know that you really like that piano player Howie" April winked at her friend starting her to blush and reply, "You better believe I do." Donatello, Edward and Ginger looked through the notes and found the formula that they believe would help Mona and began to work on it right away.
