Well here is another chapter, and remember, I do not own TMNT… yet.
Lizzy's P.O.V.
I woke up to a bang and yelling.
"I guess it's time to get up," I say quietly to myself sitting up. I carefully move the blanket to look at my leg, then say, "And that wasn't a dream." I look around and see four mutant turtles.
"And that wasn't a dream either," I whisper smiling. Looking around, I see Raph attacking Mikey. 'I wonder what he did,' I think. Then I see Donnie fiddling with something with something in the corner, while Leo is watching Space Hero's. I decided that I'm tired of lying down on the couch, so I carefully sit up, placing both my feet on the ground, and lean against the back of the couch. Nobody looks up… well except for Mikey, who is currently under Raph. He manages to wiggle his way out from under Raph, and runs in my direction screaming, "Help ME Lizzy!"
"Mikey, sshhhh. She's still asleep," Leo commands, not taking his eyes off the TV. Ignoring him, Mikey reaches me and jumps on the couch, landing to the left of me. Raph is on his trail, and soon stops in front of me. I try not to burst out laughing, so I clamp my hand over my mouth, letting out a few giggles. Everyone begins to watch us, and quickly makes their way over to us.
"Please, help me," Mikey pleaded while trying to hide behind me.
"Oh, so that's what you did," I determine. Looking at Raph, I see that his face is covered in makeup. The eye shadow was a hot pink with black eye liner. To top it all off, his lips were covered in bright red lip stick. I don't know who started laughing first, but I as soon as I heard the first chuckle, I burst out laughing. Soon, we all had started laughing like crazy. This only made him angry. I don't think this is the way to act after they just saved me, but I just couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Lizzy, you haven't been here long, so listen to what I'm going to tell you. When Mikey does stupid things like this," he said pointing to his face, "He gets a beat down. Now, could you move out of the way so I can kill Mikey?"
"Raph, she can't move. Her leg," Donnie pointed out.
"Oh yah. Then could someone move her for me?" He half asks half demands. I put my arm out protectively, almost hiding Mikey. I knew this wouldn't be pretty and I didn't want my new friends to get hurt. I decide to try and convince him to do otherwise.
"You know that makeup comes off, right?"
"Yah, but beating up Mikey sounds like more fun," he chuckled while punching his hand.
"She's right," Leo advised. Raph sat there for a moment thinking until finally he said, "Fine, but I WILL get you late." With that, he huffed off somewhere. I'm guessing the bathroom.
"Thank you Lizzy," Mikey beamed hugging me. This made me blush.
"Yah, you haven't even been there for a day and you have already stood up to Raph," Donnie informed.
"Thanks, but I do have one question. You are all guys, right? So where did you get makeup?" I ask rubbing the back of my head. We all look at Mikey.
"Yah, about that… April left her bag here last night," Mikey explained. I just smiled and rolled my eyes.
"So, can we get you anything like food or water?" Leo asks. Before I could answer, there was a rumbling noise. I quickly cross my arms over my stomach and blush.
"I take that as a yes," Mikey said running off to the kitchen.
"Are they always like that?" I ask the two remaining turtles.
"Yah, pretty much," Donnie informed. I just nod. Then he got a weird look on his face, like he got an idea.
"Hey! I just remembered. I have something for you," Donnie yelled running off, only returning 30 seconds later holding a pair of crutches.
"There usually used when one of us gets hurt, so you can use them," Leo explained as Donnie handed them to me.
"Cool, thanks," I reply. I take them and carefully begin to stand. Then I take a few steps, just to get used to them. I smile.
"Much better," I proclaimed. Then Mikey came into the 'living room' holding a pizza box.
"Breakfast is served," Mikey declared opening the pizza box. I sit back down on the couch. Everyone grabs a piece, but I take mine last. He sets the box on the ground and sits next to me. Then Leo sits on my other side, while Donnie goes back to the corner. We sit there and watch Space Hero's and eating our pizza. It tasted so good. Back at the orphanage, we rarely got pizza. Eventually, Raph makes his way out into the room, makeup free, grabs a piece of pizza, and sits in a beanbag chair. After I finish, I turn to see Mikey staring at me, smiling.
Mikey's P.O.V.
After what happened this morning, I was so thankful for Lizzy saving me. Anyone else would have let Raph clobber me. Now I want to know more about our new friend.
"So, what's your favorite color?" I ask.
"Um… yellow I guess," she answers.
"Cool, mine's orange," I say tugging on my mask. "What's your favorite animal?" I ask. She begins to laugh a little.
"A turtle," she answers. 'That's why she laughed,' I think.
"What do you like to do for fun?" I continued.
"That's easy. Skateboarding, but if I can't do that I'll read or draw," Lizzy smiled. I never realized until now, but she has a really pretty smile.
"Do you know any cool tricks?" I question.
"Yah! Once my leg heals, I'll have to show you," I beamed.
"Do you like video games?" I ask.
"Well… I've never played before," she admits. I sit there with my mouth open.
"Really!? Then we godda play," I shout.
"Yah! Sounds fun," Lizzy replies. We both hear footsteps and turn our heads to see April.
"Hey April," Donnie announced, practically running over to her. I begin to walk over to April with Lizzy, who was using the crutches.
April's P.O.V.
I walked into the lair and almost instantly, Donnie was greeting me.
"Hey April," Donnie announced. Soon, everyone had come over; even Lizzy who was using crutches.
"Hey Guys! Hey Lizzy, how's the leg?" I greet.
"Better," she said with a smile.
"That's good. Hey, have you seen my bag?" I ask. Everyone turned their head towards Mikey.
"Um… I'll go get it," he said running off.
"What was that about?" I question. A few giggles come out of Lizzy, followed by a glare from Raph.
"Mikey thought it would be funny if he gave a Raph a makeover," Leo answered.
"And Raph hasn't beaten him up yet?" I ask surprised.
"No. He hid behind Lizzy, and she wouldn't let me past," he scoffed. Then Mikey came back and handed me my bag.
"Thanks," I say.
"No-prob-lamo," he finishes. I look at Lizzy, when I see a sudden realization of something on her face.
"Um…," she begins.
"Yah," Mikey says.
"Can I use your bathroom?" She asks shyly.
"Sure, let me show you where it is," Mikey said leading her away. Once they are gone, I ask them, "So how is Lizzy?"
"She's seems nice," Leo stated.
"Yah, and happy too. Most people wouldn't act this way in her current condition," Donnie noted.
"I don't know what to think, but she can aim, I'll give her that," Raph smirked.
"And she was okay about the kraang'?" I ask.
"Um… we haven't told her about the kraang' yet," Leo said rubbing the back of his head.
"What?! Well good thing I got here, cause when she gets back, you will tell her," I commanded them. Then Mikey and Lizzy came back, talking up a storm. Lizzy rushed over to us… well, as fast as you can go using crutches.
"Hey April, why aren't you in school?" She asked me.
"Today's Saturday," I tell her. She face palms herself, probably an 'oh duh' moment.
"Duh, sorry. No matter what happens, I'll always have a blonde moment once in a while," she laughed. This made us laugh. Even Raph chuckled.
"Hey Lizzy, can we talk to you?" Leo asked, motioning toward the living room.
"Sure," she said. We made our way into the living room, sitting down in almost the exact same positions as last night. The only difference was that Donnie was in front and Leo was sitting next to Mikey. Otherwise, it was the same.
Donnie's P.O.V.
We had assembled everyone in the living room to have a talk with Lizzy about the kraang'.
"Lizzy, do you remember us referring to the term kraang' last night?" I asked. She nodded.
"Well want you to know what they are and how dangerous they are," I continued.
"Makes sense," she mumbled.
"Well, they are aliens from outer space. They dress up like people to blend in, but they really look like brains. Lately, they have been taking scientist, like April's father, but we don't know why. They are extremely dangerous. Remember that ooze that they were holding up to you?" I say. She nods.
"Well, that stuff is called mutagen. That's what mutated us and Master Splinter, so you need to be careful if you are ever around it," I finish. We sit there in silence for a moment, waiting for a response until finally she says, "Wow, nasty lil' buggers', aren't they?" Her response gets everyone to laugh. I don't know what it is about her, but she makes the room light up. After a moment of quietness, Mikey finally speaks.
"It's time," Mikey says excitingly, looking from Lizzy to the TV.
"For what?" Raph asks confused.
"Lizzy's first video game lesson!" he almost shouts, gaining a huge grin on his face.
