I would like to thank everyone for all the awesome reviews. I STILL don't own TMNT, but I promise you that one day I will. Now on with the chapter.
Mikey's P.O.V.
Yesterday was a really big day for Lizzy, but she seemed kinda sad when we got home. Today I wanted to cheer her up, so I got up extra early to make breakfast for her. I wanted to make is special, so I decided to make pancakes. Entering the kitchen, I turn on the stove and place to griddle on it. Then I gather the ingredients' and mix them together. I check the griddle and it ready. I begin to pour the batter onto it.
"I think I'll go set the table," I say walking away, but when I get back the pancake it burning.
"AAAAAAhhhhhhh," I scream. I hear footsteps and see Lizzy running to the kitchen.
"What happened? Who's hurt? Why do I smell something burning?" She yells. I watch her look at the burning pancake.
"Shit!" she yells. I watch her grab a dish towel, wrap it around her hand, grab the griddle, and throw it in the sink. Then she turned on the water and let it cool. She backed away and glared at me.
"Sorry Lizzy, I was just trying to make you breakfast for you cause you looked sad last night when you went to bed," I apologize. I wait for her to react. Lizzy's face softens and turns into a smile with a laugh that followed. She walks over to and gives me a hug.
"Thank you Mikey, but how about I help you make breakfast," she suggest. I blush and smile, hugging her back.
"Okay, sounds fun," I agree. We begin to remake breakfast. Lizzy takes over the pancakes while I make the eggs. I peek over at Lizzy. She was finishing up a giant stack of pancakes. She looks so pretty, even with bed head. Her blue eyes sparkle in her crooked yellow mask while her freckled dimples show. I snap out my trance and get back to work and finish the eggs.
"I'll bring the food over to the table and you get some drinks," Lizzy instructs grabbing the plates of eggs and pancakes.
"Sure," I reply. I take out six cups and fill them all with orange juice. Using all my ninja skills, I carry all six glasses and place them at the table.
"Let's sit," she said. We sit next to each other.
"So, you okay?" I ask worriedly grabbing some eggs and pancakes.
"Yah, I just feel a little guilty," she replies dishing up her own plate.
"Why?"
"Well… Maggie and Ben were out late looking for me and got in trouble," Lizzy confesses stabbing her eggs.
"But you saved them," I tell her. She blushes and smiles.
"Thanks Mikey," she thanked. I was about to say something else when my brothers walk into the room.
"What smells so good," Leo asked.
"We made breakfast," Lizzy beamed putting an arm around my shoulder and holding up a fork with her free hand.
"Mikey, make breakfast, without burning something?" Raph questioned.
"Yep," she lied. They sit down and dish their plates. We make small talk while eating. When we finish, Lizzy and I walk over to the couch and watch TV. We were watching an episode of Gravity Falls when a commercial comes for Chris Bradford comes on.
'Man I hate this commercial,' I think.
"Ug, I HATE this commercial," Lizzy says. I look around the room a second before leaning in and whispering, "Are you physic?"
"What? No. Why?" Lizzy laughs.
"I was just thinking that. I hate Chris Bradford, but he got what was coming to him," I say.
"I know, right? I used to think he was pretty cool. I tried talking to him once, but he just called me a stupid little kid and walked away," She told me.
"Well, I thought we were friends, but then he betrayed me. Turns out, he works for the Shredder. But then he got mutated into a dog. So now we call him Dog pound," I say. Lizzy looks shocked. A week ago we told her about the Shredder, so hearing this would freak anyone out.
"Well at least he got what was coming to him, huh?" She responded.
"Yah," I laughed. Then we continue to watch TV in silence.
Donnie's P.O.V.
I had been in my lad since breakfast ended, working on a new invention. It had almost been noon when April texted me.
'Donnie, I have some information on the foot. I'll be there in about five minutes,' she texted.
'Great! See you then,' I texted back. I got up and walked over to the living room, where everyone else was, to tell them.
"Hey guys, April's coming over with some information on the foot," I informed.
"The foot… Oh, yah! Those are the people who work for the Shredder, right?" Lizzy asks.
"Precisely," I answer. She smiles at her achievement of remembering this information.
"What exactly did April say?" Leo asks, entering leader mode.
"She just said that she had information about the foot and would be here in 5 minutes," I say. Just then as if on cue, April entered the lair.
"Hey guys," April greets.
"Hey April," we chorused.
"So what information do you have?" Leo asked. She walks over and sits next to Lizzy, pulled her laptop out of her bag, and then starts entering in letters.
"Well I heard that the foot are going to be meeting at this building… here," she explains pointing at a map on the screen. I recognize the address… but why?
"I wonder why?" I ponder.
"I don't know, but we are going to find out. Tonight!" Leo commands. Everyone looks at each other, then at Lizzy.
"Lizzy I think I speak for everyone when I say, we thi-" Leo began, but was interrupted when Lizzy ran down the hallway out of hearing range.
"What?! Sorry Leo, I can't hear you!" Lizzy shouts from her bedroom door before entering the room and shutting the door. Leo just pinches his beak and sighs. I chuckle along with everyone else.
"Well Leo, looks like Lizzy coming along," Raph chuckles placing a hand on our brothers shoulder.
"Don't worry Leo, she'll be fine. After all she's been training with you," April comforts.
"Yah Leo, I'll be fine," Lizzy said coming out of her room and down the hallway. She had changed from her turtle pajamas to a yellow and orange tie-dyed long sleeved shirt, light blue jeans, and had fixed her mask. Only instead of her hair in two pigtails as usual, it was down. I noticed how long it actually was. Probably about down to her lower back.
"Fine," Leo sighed.
"Oh, you thought you had a choice? How cute. I was goin' anyways," she sassed walking over to Leo with a smile. Raph smiled at her. I think he's rubbing off on her.
"So, what time are we leaving?" I asked.
"As soon as it turns dark," Leo responded.
"Which means doing nothing all day. Greeeaaaatttt!" Raph huffed walking to the couch and sitting on it.
"No Raph, it means we can play videogames all day," Mikey beamed.
"Well you guys can play videogames all day, but Lizzy and I are going out for some girl time," April corrected.
"Wait, what?" Lizzy asked confused.
"Oh, come on," April said grabbing their coats, and then grabbing Lizzy's arm and pulling her out of the lair.
"Well… what game do you want to play…"
April's P.O.V.
I had the whole day planned out. First we were going to do a little shopping, and then get something to eat at this cute little café, and after that I had a special surprise for Lizzy.
"Wait, April where are we going?" she asks as we approach a manhole cover.
"Out, and put up your mask," I tell her handing her the coat. She slips it on, and sliding up her mask to make it look like a headband. We exit the manhole and turn the corner.
"Well, since we're going out, I need to get some things for the guys. After all, Christmas is right around the corner," she informed.
"Sure, we can do that after we shop for some new clothes for you," I tell her.
"Uggg," she groans.
"Oh come an. Look, let's go in this one here," I say pointing at the store in front of us. I pull her inside. We begin to look around when I see this top that would look great on Lizzy.
"Hey Liz, what about this?" I ask holding up a yellow, lace baby-doll top. She came over and grabbed it.
"It's perfect. I love it," she exclaimed.
"Great, let's go find a tank-top to go under it," I said. We ended up finding an orange camisole.
"Hey, what about this," she asked holding up a pair of dark blue skinny jeans with holes in them. Not many, just a few.
"Cute, it'll look great with the shirt," I say. We finish up clothes shopping. Lizzy got two other shirts, a pair of shoes, a new sweatshirt, and one pair of silk pajama pants. I just got a new shirt and a pair of jeans. I bought our new things and exited the store. We were walking down the street when Lizzy turned to the window with wide eyes.
"Isn't that new videogame that Mikey's been wanting?" she asks.
"Yah, it just came out today," I reply. She walks over to the door and says, "I'll be right back." She enters the store. I wait there for a couple of minutes before coming back with the game in hand.
"One present down, five to go," she says continuing to walk down the street.
"Five?" I question.
"Yah. Master Splinter, Raph, Donnie, Leo, and you," she explains. We continue to walk down the street to the café. By the time we get there, Lizzy had stopped at seven different shops. Now she claims to have found everyone their perfect present. We enter the café and find a table. Lizzy orders a turkey wrap and a hot coca. I order a salad and water.
"So, what do you think of the guys?" I ask.
"I think there amazing. Leo is helpful when it comes to ninjistu. Raph can be a hot-head, but will also stand up for me. Donnie is amazingly smart. Mikey is so easy to talk to and is really sweet," she replies. Only, when she was talking about Mikey, there was something more there than meets the eye. Then I figure it out.
"You like Mikey, don't you," I whisper. Her face turns completely red.
"Whaattt? Psh, I have no clue what you are talking about," Lizzy lied. Then the waitress come over and gave up our food.
"Enjoy you meals," the waitress said before walking away. Lizzy takes a big bite of her wrap, trying to avoid the question.
"You're not going to get out of this that easily, now spill," I demand. She finishes her bite and sighs in defeat.
"Fine, I like Mikey," she mumbled quietly.
"What was that? I couldn't hear you," I play, putting my hand up to my ear.
"I said that I like Mikey," she yelled sipping on her coca and taking another bite of her wrap. I take a bite of my salad.
"That's wonderful!" I exclaim to her. She just sighed and kept eating. As soon as we finished, I paid the bill and dragged Lizzy to the last spot until we go home.
"Oh why April?" she wined when she saw where we were. I brought her to a beauty salon. I drag her inside and head to the front desk.
"Appointment for April O'Neil," I say to the woman.
"Ah yes, right this way," she said leading us to two open chairs. We sat down and let the women do their thing. We are there for about half an hour. When the lady is done with my hair, I see that she had pulled down my hair and curled it. She also did my makeup. She put on light purple eye shadow and darkened the eyeliner. I stand up out of the chair and looked over at Lizzy. She looked amazing. Her hair was pulled back into a long French braid, with her mask still being used as a headband. Her eyes were surrounded by yellow and her eyes were darkened around the edges, like mine, but they way is looked with her eyes were amazing.
"Wow April, you look great. Ready ta go?" She complemented.
"Me, look at you. You look beautiful. Come on lets go," I say. I walk up to the counter to pay, but Lizzy is one step ahead and had her money ready. She paid and we walked out the door.
"Come on April, let's go back to the lair," Lizzy stated. I nod and we turn the corner, finding a manhole. We open it up and climb the ladder down, beginning our walk back. We soon enter the lair and greet the guys.
"Hey guys," Lizzy bubbled as she began to walk over to them, but I grab her wrists and begin to drag her in the direction of her room. The boys look over with questioning faces.
"But April, I thought we were done," Lizzy wined digging her heals into the ground.
"Of course not, now we godda dress you up and show you off," I say dragging her down the hallway and into her room.
"Wait, at least close your eyes a minute before we do this. I need to hide the presents," she demanded. I sigh and close my eyes. I hear banging and shuffling.
"Done," she said. I open my eyes and walk over to the bag. I pull out the baby-doll shirt, the tank-top, the jeans with the rips, and her new shoes.
"Change," I command. She sighs and begins to take off her old clothes and put on her new ones, being careful not to mass up her hair. When she finishes, Lizzy looks at herself in the mirror, approving.
"Alright let's go," I say. She doesn't move, so I drag her out of the room and down the hallway. When we see the boys, they are all waiting for us.
"Here she is," I say pushing Lizzy in front of me. She smiles shyly and waves. The boys just stare in awe.
"Wow," is all Mikey can say.
"I never thought Lizzy could look well… like a girl," Raph chuckles. She gives him a death glair and then smiles facing the others. They just look at her. I have to admit, she looks pretty good. The shirt stops just under her boobs and flows out and with the shirt being lace; you see the orange tank-top underneath it, which shows off her skinny, figure eight shape. The jeans show the rest of her figure and the shoes pull the whole outfit together.
"Well..." she finally says.
"You look amazing Lizzy," Mikey complements. The other turtles just nod in agreement.
"Why thank you," she smiles and glances to the clock. I do the same and see that it will be dark soon.
"Now if you excuse me, I must go change for tonight," and with that she left for her room.
"Good job April," Leo said.
"Thanks," I say.
"You look great too April," Donnie says blushing. I blush back. I knew he liked me, but I didn't know if I liked him... at least not yet.
"Thank you Donnie," I reply placing a hand on his shoulder. Lizzy walks back out, dressed looking ready for battle.
"Well, we better get going," Leo says. Everyone nods.
"April, would you stay here," Leo asks.
"Sure, I'll be here if you need me," I agree. He nods. The group left while I stayed, waited, and worried.
Cliff Hanger! What will happen next, who knows? I DO, but I will not share what I know until my next update. That will be the last one before I leave for Italy for Spring break. But I will update as soon as possible when I get back. I Promise. Until next time… Bye-bye!
