Remember, I said I'd try to update as soon and as much as I can! So I typed up all of chapter 5 today, TWICE, actually, because my computer freaked and died on me and I hadn't saved anything. Note to Self: SAVE. PERIODICALLY! Hope y'all like Mona! She's finally in here! Yay! I don't own anything, sorry for OOCness. Hope y'all enjoy! R&R!
Chapter 5
Raph looked down at his ticket, then back up at the line of costumed teens. "Now, I wonder which boat it is?" He said sarcastically. He walked to the end of the line, trying not to look at the swarm of police cars speeding by.
Hey, it wasn't his fault that that stupid shack had collapsed with one more punch!
Raph crossed his arms as the line shifted slowly. Now he wished he had never even gone to the party. He groaned, throwing his head back and arms in the air. "Why is this taking so long?"
A boy in a cheap werewolf mask turned aroud to ogle at him. "All these moron's without tickets keep trying to sneak on."
"Why?"
The boy gave Raph a please tell me you're kidding face. "Why? Because this is the biggest after party in the school!" The boy leered at two upset girls walked by, escorted by two big, burly security guards. Raph decided he didn't like this kid very much. "Do YOU have a ticket?"
Raph pulled out the crumpled slip of paper from his belt. The werewolf nodded and turned back around, much to Raph's delight. The line moved up, and Raph could see the ticket man checking for tickets. He tried to quench the butterflies flapping around in his stomach by doing some of Master Splinter's breathing exercises. He turned and peered down the line to see if April was in line yet.
Yup, the purple clad turtle and the bunny named Irma were chatting and laughing at the very end. He debated calling and waving them up to him, but decided against it. Raph shrugged and turned back around to see another green face two inches from his own.
"Hey, babe; I'm glad you saved my spot for me!" A girl with curly brown hair and eyes that matched smiled lovingly at him. He felt something brush up against his shell and looked down to see a green and yellow tail tracing circles on his thigh. It was the girl he'd been chasing all night!
"Who-" He was cut off by the girl crashing her lips against his. It started off gentle, but soon she pressed up against hinm harder and harder, leaving no space between the two. Raph's green eyes grew wide with shock.
He.
Was.
Being.
Kissed.
And he didn't even know the girl!
He pushed her away from him. "Who the SHELL are you?!" The girl flicked her tail in annoyance. As soon as the irritation came in her eyes, it vanished, and she smiled deviously before pressing her lips near his ear. "Play along with me, will ya?" She flicked her tail for emphasis before cupping her hand against his cheek and diving against his lips again.
"Ahem," Raph's green eyes flew to the bored looking ticket man. "May I see your tickets, please?" He fumbled for the tickets in his belt and pulled them out, but the lizard girl snatched it out and practically shoved it in the man's outstretched hand. She smiled at the man, resting her head in the curve of Raph's neck.
"Oh, here you go! Thanks so much! We're in a bit of a hurry!" She winked at the man and pressed a finger against Raph's plastron. "If you know what I mean." The ticketman's face heated up, and he motioned for them to get on the boat. The girl grabbed Raph's hand and pulled him onto the boat.
Once they were on, the girl draggged him to an empty hallway. She looked around suspiciously and sighed with relief. "Thanks! I wouldn't hve been able to get on without you!" She pressed a quick kiss to the turtle boy's cheek and winked. "You're a doll; maybe I'll see you around?" She ran to the corner and ducked around it, pausing only to look back at Raph and say, "Maybe next time before you kiss a girl, grab a breath mint, kay?"
Raph spluttered with embaressment. "You kissed ME!" He ran to the corner. "And a little thank you would've been nice! I don't even know your... huh?" She had disappeared. "Why, that little..."
"Raph!" The fuming turtle swiveled around to see the redhead running towards him. "Where've you been?! I've been worried sick!"
"Some girl used me to sneak into the party!" He snarled. "She pretened to be my date! She KISSED me!"
April threw her head back and laughed. "Some people will do anything to go to one of Mac's parties." She dropped the subject at the annoyed look on his face. "Oh, let's go. Maybe you'll see her on deck?" She turned and began walking off, and Raph had no choice but to follow. "After all, she couldn't get off now; we've already started sailing."
The turtles managed to navigate their way to the deck, which was overstuffed with loud, rowdy teenagers. Raph leaned up against the raiing and pouted about the girl.
"Oh, cheer up, Raph!" April said. "You were the one who wanted to go to the after party anyway" She handed the pouting turtle a small pizza box.
"I just can't believe she used me!" He snarled, snatching away the pizza box and flipping the lid up. He eyed the pizza with distaste. "What the shell is that?!"
"It's a pizza!"
"It's the freakin' size of my palm!" Raph snarled again, chunking the pizza overboard.
"Raph!" April exclaimed, appalled. He ignored her exclamations of surprise and stomped off. "Where are you going now?"
"I'm going to find that girl!"
If you thought Raphael was angry then, you'd probably be a litte frightened at how much it had increased. Steam was practically blowing out of his ears.
"When I find that lizard, I swear!" He growled to himself. He'd searched the entire boat, minus the captain;s and first mate's control room. He debated whether to barge in and scare the living shell out of everybody, or if he'd just sneak in, check, then sneak back out.
He decided to go for the first.
Raph kicked down the door with a loud "AHA!" He stood in a defensive position, fists raised, half expecting the captain to try and attack him.
What he didn't expect was for the captain and first mate to be tied uup and gagged, and one very familiar lizard lady to be messing with the controls.
"What the-" The girl looked up at Raph with surprise and shock written all over her face and leaped into the air. She grabbed two floatation devices hung up on the wall and brought them down over his head. She pushed them down over his shell, trapping him momentarily.
"You can't just scare a girl like that!" She chided, glaring at him. He evenly returned her glare, and she stuck her tongue out and returned to the controls, nimble fingers flying all over. Raph managed to wiggle out one of his sai from his belt and slash through the orange rings, throwing them aside.
With a yell, he tackled the girl, sending her crashing into the ground. She struggled to kick him off, but he held down her hands and sat on her legs and tail.
"Alright, lizard," he sneered. "Who are you, and what're you doing on this yacht? Are you just TRYING to kill everyone on here?" He hissed into her ear. "And go ahead and explain why ya used me to get on board while you're at it!"
She thrashed again, and Raph only cast more of his weight on her legs. She finally went limp. "My name isn't Lizard, Turtle. It's Mona Lisa!" She tried to yank her hands out of Raph's grip, but he just tightened it. "And-"
"... Your name is Mona Lisa?" Raph asked incredulously.
"You heard me. You gotta problem with it?" She glowered at him. "I bet you have a stranger name than mine, anyways! Unless yours was Mona Lisa too. But that would just be weird.."
Raph shook his head. "The name's Raphael."
Mona Lisa's eyes widened slightly. "Would've been better if you were named Leonardo. But still... What a coincidence..."
Raph snorted. "That's my brother."
Mona Lisa raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Well then, Raphael. Can you get off of me, please? You're not exactly the lightest person around, ya know."
Raph grunted, but stood up. He held out his hand, and with a funny sort of smile on her face, she accepted it. He hoisted her up with a grunt. "And don't call me Raphael. Nobody calls me that; call me Raph. So, Mona Lisa, what're-"
She looked at him with a funny look on her face. "Mona. Just Mona."
Raph sighed. "Fine. Mona, what exactly are you doing then? Tying up the captain probably wasn't the smartest idea."
"I took boating lessons as a kid." She smirked. "Now, just let me get back to the wheel before-" The boat shuddered and rocked, sending Mona and Raph crashing against the wall. Mona landed on Raph's plastron with a grunt. "Too late!" She groaned, rubbing her head with a webbed hand. Raph looked up at the girl with wide eyes and squirmed out from underneath her. He ran to the window.
"It looks like we're in some sort of light window thingie." He shook his head. "Shell, I wish Donnie were here!" When Mona approached he didn't look at her.
"You have a brother?"
"Three. I'm the middle child. They're- What the SHELL is that?" He jabbed his thumb towards a large grey submarine rising out of the water beside the yacht. A shabbily black painted skull and crossbones was painted on the side.
Mona gasped. "That's Captain Filch's submarine! Come on!" She grabbed Raph's hand and dragged him out of the room, down the stairs, and onto the deck, where they his behind one of the tables stuffed with pizza. A plank was lowered onto the yacht, and a man stomped across it and in front of the teens.
"Hey, man! This is MY party!" Mac pushed his way through to the front of the crowd and placed his hands on his hips. Raph rolled his eyes at the whining.
"Well, I guess I'm crashing it!" The man Mona had dubbed as Filch sneered.
"Security! Get rid of this dude!" The rich senior ordered, pointing towards the intruder.
The intruder had brown hair pulled back into a low ponytail, a scraggly beard, and a worn black eyepatch. Mona would tense up whenever he spoke, and Raph made a mental note to find out what exactly Filch did to her.
"My guards can beat your guards!" Filch sneered and pointed towards his submarine. Countless pink, slimy sea anemone mutants slithered over onto Mac's yacht. They were huge, with shark teeth and sticky tentacles. The mutants herded the now screaming teens into the center of the deck so no one would try to escape.
Meanwhile, April, who had been busy reapplying the green paint to places that had chipped off on her arms and hands, heard her friends screaming. She poke her head out of the bathroom, gasped, then slammed the door back and sank down against it. "Uh, NOPE!" She whipped out her T-Phone and dialed Leo's number. "Come on, come on!" The phone continued to ring, and April was nearly about to panic.
"Uh... Hello?" A familiar voice mumbled on the other end, muffled through the mouthful of pizza.
"Leo! I'm so glad to hear your voice!" In the background, she could hear the opening titles to Space Heroes, and she could practically picture him drooling over the TV.
"April? What's wrong?"
"Some creep and his army of mutant sea plants just took over our yacht!"
"Yacht?"
"LEO! I'm serious! It's an after-party!"
"Sheesh, okay, April. Where's Raph then?"
"I don't know! He kinda stalked off earlier. I got... a little mad at him."
"A little?! April, he blew up my phone with annoyed texts!"
"Did you read them?"
"Why would I? It's almost a daily occurrence. You kinda get used to it after a while."
In spite of the situation, April laughed. "Why does that not surprise me?"
Leo chuckled. "Because it's true. Wait, if your ship's been taken over, are you captured?! What happened to you?"
"I-" The bathroom door swung open, and April turned around with a gasp; one of Filch's sea mutants loomed over her and reached for her with one of it's sticky tentacles. April screamed, and the T-Phone dropped away in abandonment as it dragged April from the bathroom.
"April? APRIL!"
I really really hope y'all liked Mona! I know it's kinda similar to the 80's episode, but I also said it would be! Haha, hope y'all liked it! Leave a review!
