Ch7 You're stuck with us

Aaaaah, sorry for the big looooooooong updae folks, I was made to deal with a bunch of chores school and many other things giving me no chance to update. To add to it, writer's block. I hope I can update more!

If Yumiko didn't know Mimi enough, the adamant glare that she gave was a sure sign of defeat.

The rat was struck silent, as stubborn and persistent as she was; she knew she had to give up. There was no hellish way that Mimi would change her mind. Not now or ever.

"It looks as if she has made her decision quite clear." Splinter said wryly.

Mimi nodded grabbing onto Splinter's sleeve. I'm sorry Master, but I don't want to leave and you can't make me.

Here lip began to quiver, but could not find any words to say, her tails and ears drooped sadly. Slowly, she began to drag her tail and fur to the door miserably, she may have not won but she was at least going to leave with her dignity.

Michelangelo bit his lip, he couldn't help but feel bad for her, seeing Yumiko this distraught was unbearable. It just didn't seem fair at all.

"Wait! Yumiko, you could always come for a visit, it's not like it's the end of the world!"

Raph put a hand on his shoulder. "Let her go Mikey, it's for the best." But he was insistent.

"Hold it will you!" he called out.

Yumiko stopped her walk of shame and turned at him surprised.

Turning to Splinter Mikey tried to reason, "Sensei, I know you really don't want her to go."
The old rat just kept a tight lip.

The turtle faced his brothers hoping to side with him, "Guys she's alone, I know she wanted to take Mimi and all, but it wouldn't hurt for her to be friends with us."

The rest kept quite looking at eachother wondering what to do, till Leo spoke out.

"He's right guys," Leo agreed, "I gotta agree that another rat to be friends with isn't so bad." Mikey's face beamed, he's got one!

Don put a hand up, "I'm all up for it, besides two rats are better than one!"

Shrugging her shoulders, Mimi nodded in agreement, well I guess that's a good idea.

Although she felt kind of queasy knowing that since Yumiko is gonna be around, she's got loads of time where she's smothered half to death with her hugs and all her doting.

"What do you say Raph?" Don asked.

Raph gritted his teeth and grumbled, he feigned at lashing out. He was happy to have seen her walking her way out of here by now, until Mikey ruined the whole thing.

A heavy elbow struck him in the gut knocking half the air in him. Don glared waiting for an answer.

"Yeah, she can come and visit." He groused trying his best to contain the pressure in his closed fist.

Leo looked at Splinter, "how bout you sensei? Won't it be fun? Please? Pretty please?" he asked like Mikey begging for cupcake.

All three sons (exclude Raphael), gave him their puppy dog faces. Splinter scowled at his sons, but this made their eyes grow wider pleadingly, after three seconds of silence and puppy dog begging, he had to give in.

"Alright, she can come and visit." Better to be friends than enemies, I guess.

He thought to himself.

"Yaay!" The turtles cheered happily.

In a flash, Yumiko zoomed over to Mikey and got him in big squeeze.

"Thank you! Thank you!" she thanked joyfully gushing out tears. "Thank you….errrmm.."

"Michel…angelo!" he gasped out as the blood and air was being cut to the brain.

"I shall never forget your kindness." She squeezed tighter making him turn blue.

"Lady…no air!" he choked before passing out cold.

"Woops…." She said looking at the orange clad turtle hanging as limp as Raph's sweat rag on her arm.

All of them stared at him without any expression of concern. "Mimi, please do CPR." Leo asked languidly.

Mimi's mien slumped into a sullen mood. Aw great, just when I thought it was hard the first time.

She sprayed breathmint into her mouth grudgingly for her second time attempt to revive him.

*In the Author's Side*

"Now what's supposed to happen? I don't know what else to write!" I.V. yelled down the hallway.

"I don't know!" Mercedes yelled back as she sat lazily on the couch watching old 80's shows, she clicked on the remote switching to another channel.

"Make an earthquake or something happen!"

"The hell alright, one earthquake comin at cha! By the way are you working on those videos?"

"Yeah I am!" she replied opening a bag of Cheetos as she munched her way through a commercial.

Opening Mikey's mouth after pumping his chest, Mimi hesitantly bent down to give him some air.

She held back the feeling of revulsion as she glanced down at the mouth that has not brushed since breakfast, and bits and pieces of pepperoni pizza clinging between his teeth. Dammit! His breath also smelled of mustard!

Here goes nothing!

Roca, on the other hand, held a camera. I might put this on facebook!

Just as she was about to go mouth to mouth with a mutant turtle, a loud rumble shook the lair rattling the furniture.

Suddenly, the rumble grew as the entire lair began to shake with massive force. The t.v. fell off it's stand and crashed onto the floor, the gang's balance was knocked over as the ground beneath them rocked swayed everything.

"EARTHQUAKE!" Raph screamed flailing his arms.

"Everyone to the Panic Room!" Don yelled out and hurried them off.

The rest scrambled to safety, leaving only Mimi heaving and lugging Mikey's body slowly away.

Amazingly, she made it in time as she entered two steel doors into a bright yellow room.

The doors shut behind her as the quake continued. For three long minutes, with everybody in fetal position, the shaking stopped.

"Is it over?" Raph gritted through his teeth with his hands over his head. The two rats looked around with small amount of panic.

Flipping open a compartment on the wall, a keyboard appeared and Don began typing. Looking through a few graphs and diagrams of the upper side, he closed the board and explained.

"Guys, it wasn't actually a real earthquake."

Raph, who was still feeling edgy, shivered. "Sure felt like it to me."

"As in, the shaking wasn't all natural, it there was a new construction being done underground. But not near our place, somewhere near 42nd street."

Yumiko's ears perked up, "42nd street!" she shrieked, "Underground? What happened there is it accessible?"

Don shook his head, "it turns out that the whole place is being renovated, so probably the whole sewer lines that lead to there are being blocked."

Yumiko's face fell, her jaw dropped in distress. What was she gonna do? Her lair is underneath that street, there was no way to get in!

She grasped her face in utter horror, the gang realized her reaction right away. "Don't tell me you live there." Leo said.

She let out a horrible wail as she broke down crying. Mimi patted her back trying to ease her.

"Yup, she does." Raph pointed out.

"What am I to do? Where am I going to stay?" she cried out.

Splinter gulped, he knew what that meant. No other place to go, no known vacancy, there was only one place.

"I'm sorry Yumiko-san, but it looks like you're stuck with us." Leo told her sadly.

Raphael's eyes popped out of his sockets.

"WHAT! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
