Me: Well, sorry about the cliffy. Well, not really, actually.
Mikey: You're mean.
Me: **frowns** How so?
Mikey: Never mind.
Me: Okay, then, on with the story cuz I don't really have anything to say!
Donnie POV
I yawned as I step into the kitchen, but then right when I saw April, I closed my mouth.
"Heeyyy, April, wazup?" I asked smoothly as I slide into the seat next to her at the table. She grins at me.
"We have no school today! There was an electricity issue, so we don't have any school until Monday! A three-day weekend!"
"Cool! So you get to hang out with us!" I exclaim.
"And do homework. By the way, how's Andi? I heard she got kinda busted up by Leo," she asked. Right then I hear a shriek coming from the direction of our rooms. And I doubted any of my brothers could make a sound like – scratch that. It could either be Raph or Andi.
April and I jump up instantaneously and sprint to the hallway. I break down the door. Andi whirled around and started screaming again. I cover my ears and try to see what's going on.
Once I fully see Andi, I yell, "AHHHH!"
April does pretty much the same thing. A second or two later, Raph appears in the doorway and once he catches sight of the crazy shapes protruding from her back, he takes a deep breath and... gets run over by Leo.
"YOU'RE A MUTANT TOO?!" screams Leo.
Once we all calm down and stop screaming, Andi takes a deep breath and re-checks herself out in the mirror.
"I guess I am," she answered to Leo. "And I must say, I'm definitely way cooler than all of you."
She stretched out her – you guessed it! Or did you... - wings and spun around.
"Don't break the walls..." I say, because they certainly were big enough to fill the entire room. Her wingspan – or whatever you call it when a person has wings – was about eight feet.
"Imma go try to see if I can fly in the dojo!" she cried, and sprinted down the hall. The rest of us followed, eager to see her new talents.
Once we got there, she was looking determinedly at the celing. When I came in, she turned to me.
"So how do I start?" she asks, like I would know.
"Do I look like a bird to you?" I retort, flapping my arms like wings.
"You act like one," Raph says under his breath. I fold my arms, and Andi laughs.
"Guess I'll just have to try myself."
She stands in the center of the dojo (in her pajamas – well, they're not really pajamas, just mesh shorts that come to her mid-thigh and a baggy shirt) and began to flap her wings. Slowly at first, but then faster, and faster. Soon, Andi was just standing there like an idiot bird-person flapping their wings really fast.
Suddenly, she stopped.
"Running start maybe?" she asks herself. Then she starts running around in circles, wings outstretched.
"Okay, now you just look like-"
"Do not finish that sentence," she tells Raph with a glare, but she does stop running.
I look around, and then literally see a lightbulb flash over Leo's head. He runs over to the tree, scooping up Andi in the process. By the time she had gotten over her surprise, they were already halfway up the tree.
"LEONARDO! Put me down!" she yelled. He obliged, tossing her into the air.
"I didn't mean that!" she spluttered, falling. Thinking quickly, she stretched her wings out, and then flapped.
"Woo hoo!" she yelled, flying in circles.
"You're welcome."
Andi turned in midair to glare at Leo. Then, she dove at him, spiraling downwards.
"AHHHH!" he shouted, jumping out of the tree. He did a backflip, and then landed on his feet. After that, he promptly ran out of the dojo.
Andi grinned and said, "I was scary before, I know that, but now I just scared poor Leo out of the dojo! I wonder what other tricks I can do..."
She tried to do a cartwheel in the air. April snickered.
"Scary, yes, especially in those terrifying pajamas," smirked Raph. Andi blushed slightly when she tried to do another cartwheel and her shirt ended up falling over her face when she was upside down.
"Bleh," she said as she spat her shirt out and flew to the ground. She stumbled a little, but managed not to faceplant.
"Let's go eat some food. What's for breakfast? I'm starving."
She hurried out of the dojo. April laughed again.
"What's so funny?" asks Raph. She smirked at him, as if she knew something he didn't.
"Nothing," she said and went after Andi.
- - THE NEXT DAY - -
"So, are we ready for patrol yet?"
"Almost."
"Now are we?"
"No."
"Can we go yet?"
"Andi, just shut up and let us get ready by ourselves!"
Andi plopped down on the couch with a huff and glared at Leo. A few minutes later, we were all ready to go. Andi had taken to sitting on the couch, staring intently at the wall across the sofa. Mikey sat down beside her and looked at her, the wall, then back to her.
"Andi, we're ready," he said, poking her in the ribs. She jumped up and grinned at us.
"Finally! Let's go," she ordered, heading out of the lair. Leo quickly stepped in front of her.
"Wait. Before we start out, I gotta make one thing clear: I'm the leader here, and you have to do everything that I say," he said sternly. She pouted for a moment, then hopped into place right behind him.
"Well, lead on leader!" she exclaimed, though I had a feeling she wouldn't be doing whatever anyone says once we got outside.
Leo pried up the manhole a little bit and peered out.
"Oof," muttered someone behind him, bumping their head on the lid.
"Sh," said Leo.
"Just open the damn thing already," I hear Andi say. Suddenly, the lid flew off and hit the ground with a clatter.
An indignant Andi poked her head up rubbing her head, right beside Leo's angry face.
"You're supposed to be quiet!" he whispered. Andi made a 'hmph' sound and climbed uncautiously out of the sewer. Leo grabbed her ankle and she fell to the ground.
"Hey!" she said loudly.
"Sh! And you're supposed to wait for me, I'm the leader, remember?"
Andi crossed her arms, but followed Leo closely as he found a fire escape. We all climbed up to the top of the building. Leo stopped and looked around. Andi was following Leo really closely, so when he stopped, she couldn't stop in time and bumped in to him. On purpose, from the look on her face.
Leo spun around with a menacing look on his face.
"You know, I'm starting to regret taking you on patrol."
Andi glared right back at him.
"You don't have to take me anywhere," she growled.
She then spun on her heel and jumped off the ledge, calling behind her, "See you back here in thirty minutes."
Leo shook his head angrily.
"Who does she think she is, making plans like that. I'm the leader," he muttered under his breath.
He continued, motioning for us to follow. We did.
Andi POV
I laughed to myself, spiraling through the air. Pissing Leo off was so fun, especially when you have the last word.
"He wants to have control of me? I don't think sooooo."
Yes, I was talking to myself. Anything new?
I flew up higher, stretching out both of my arms and whooping as I felt the frigid air envelop my limbs like a soft, fluffy scarf. Without the warmth, though.
I lowered altitude, rubbing my arms. It sure got chilly in October. I landed on a rooftop, stumbling again. I mentally cursed myself for not getting the landing right. I would have to practice that some more.
I went over to the edge of the roof and peered over the side. There I saw a girl, about my age, with short black hair. She was kinda pretty, but mean-looking too. She stood in the center of some suspicious-looking people with black masks on.
"Alright, got the plan? Just make sure that none of the turtles get in the way," she ordered, and the people silently went into the building that I was standing on.
It's not that I didn't think that I could take them all at once, I just felt like I needed some 'leading' before I got to work. Well, maybe I was a little unsure of myself, but not that much. Anyways, I decided to go find the turtles, especially because the girl mentioned them.
So I jumped off the building and went in search of them.
After flying around high over the rooftops, I spotted them in an alley just finishing beating up some of those Purple Dragons.
I dove downward, waiting until I was dangerously close to the ground before stretching out my wings and landing perfectly, without stumbling. I puffed up my chest and smirked proudly at the turtles.
Leo glared at me. I held my hands up and filled them in on what I saw.
"Karai," said Leo, although I could hear a tone in his voice that didn't seem angry, or suspicious, even. It was actually kinda excited and happy. I didn't like that.
"Oh, so that's her name," I say nonchalantly. "Well, we should get going, then."
Me: Anyone heard of a series called Lockwood & Co? If you've read it before please tell me if it's good or not; I'm debating whether or not to buy it.
Raph: Oh that book's awful!
Me: You're just saying that.
Raph: Maybe...
Me: R&R!
