HELLO MY LOVELY VIEWERS! Here is another chapter with the hyper teenager we all love, Lizzy. Not to mention the turtles, Master Splinter, April, and Cade (Our newest character). But remember, I don't own TMNT, but I shall never give up. Hey, but I do own my OC's. On with the chapter!
Lizzy's P.O.V.
It had been a week since Cade got here and so far it was pretty good. It's like having an older sister. Only whenever I want to spend some time with her away from the boys, she's always busy with her room. The worst part about it is that she won't even let me help. The only part I even got to see were the walls, which I helped paint. Even the boys have seen more than I have because they brought in the furniture. Now, I was trying to get her into letting me see the room.
"Come on Cade. Can I see please," I wine standing by her closed door.
"Later Lizzy, it's almost done. Leave me alone. The sooner I finish, the sooner you get to see it," she replies from the other side.
"But if I help you, it'll be done sooner," I note.
"Lizzy if you don't leave now, I will drag you away by your pigtails," she snaps with an irritated tone in her voice. I let out a giant groan and hit my head against her door.
"Why don't you go bug the boys?" she asked with a sigh.
"Because sensei is giving them extra training at the moment," I answer.
"And why aren't you training with them?" Cade questioned.
"Because I don't need the extra practice like they do," I reply.
"Then go draw," she snaps.
"My sketch book is filled up," I retort.
"Go play your videogames," she argued.
"But it's no fun without Mikey," I wine.
"Ug, alright I have an idea. Let's go topside for a little bit. You can get a new sketch book and I can get the last few things I need for my room. Okay?" she asks.
"YES!" I yell backing away from the door. I watch her crack her door open and carefully maneuver her way out. Grabbing her hand I drag her down the hallway and towards the dojo. I peek my head in a moment before speaking up.
"Master Splinter, is it alright if Cade and I go topside for a little bit?" I ask. He turns to us and replies, "It is alright, you two may go."
"Thanks Master Splinter," I say turning to leave with Cade.
"And Cade," he says, so we stop and turn our attention back towards him.
"Yeah?" Cade questioned.
"Thank you," he smiles. She smiles back with a nod before dragging me back off. I raise an eyebrow at her.
"Why'd he say that?" I ask. She only shakes her head with a smile.
"Come on Shorty, let's go," she instructs as we get on our winter clothes. I scowl at her as we walk out of the lair, down the sewers and under the manhole. I carefully climb the ladder and slowly lift the cover. Peeking out I see no one, so I continue my way out with Cade not far behind. Then we walk out of the alley and down the street. It was a nice day out. The sun was shining, which made the snow glisten. Anyway, we walked down the street along all the little shops until we came across a music store. Cade stopped so I stopped.
"Here's the place," Cade said turning to enter. I soon follow.
"A music store?" I ask as we enter with a ring of the bell.
"Yep, I have to pick up a guitar I had specially made," she explained. I nod as we walk up to the counter. There was no one there so I rang the bell that was there.
"Uno memento," a male voice said. A few more moments pass before a teenage boy steps out. He looks about 16 with dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a black long sleeved V-neck shirt and dark blue jeans.
"Hey Cade," he greets with a nod stepping up to the counter.
"Hey Jason," she replies with a smile.
"Who's your friend?" he asks eyeing me.
"My names Lizzy," I smile and he returns it. Cade sees this and intervenes.
"Stop it Jason, she's taken," Cade explains protectively.
"Darn, oh well. So, what can I do for you two ladies?" he asks.
"I'm here to pick up my guitar," she tells him. He nods and heads towards the back, only to return moments later with a black leather guitar case. Setting it on the counter, he opens it and reveals a red acoustic guitar with black around the edge and the hole. At the very base, there is an intricate white rose design. My eyes go wide as I stare at it in awe.
"Is this is?" Jason smirks. I look form the guitar over to Cade, who has a smile on her face.
"That's it," she beams. He closes the case and hands it over to Cade. She then pulls out her wallet and hands him a wad of cash. He takes it and puts it in the register.
"Is that it?" he asks. We nod.
"Alright, see you later and have a nice day," he says waving. We wave back and make our way to the door. We then exit the store and turn down the street.
"So, how do you know Jason?" I smirk.
"We used to be neighbors when we were young," she explained.
"So, anything you want to tell me?" I ask with my smile growing.
"We never dated if that's what you're asking. Besides, he's not my type," Cade tells me. I shrug my shoulders as we continue our walk until it's time for my stop. I stop with Cade at a little art shop with everything you could think of. I quickly make my way in the store with Cade on my heels. Maneuvering my way to the drawing section, I find my favorite sketch book brand and grab it. I also grab a new tin of colored pencils that I've needed. I turn and face Cade with a smile.
"Now I just godda pay for this and we can head out," I inform and head towards the counter. There a nice lady about 60 is waiting.
"Hello Mrs. Thompson," I greet with a smile.
"Why hello Elizabeth, how may I help you today?" she replies returning my smile.
"I would like to buy these things please," I say.
"How wonderful. Another sketch book I see," she says.
"Yep, so how much do I owe you today?" I ask. She rings up my items and types in a few numbers.
"That would be fourteen dollars and twenty two cents," she smiles. I nod taking out my wallet and giving her just the right amount of money.
"It was nice seeing you Mrs. Thompson, goodbye," I wave.
"It was nice to see you too Elizabeth," she replies with a wave. I smile and turn with Cade making my way out of the store. Once out, I pull out my T-phone and glance at the time.
"It's about noon, so what should we do now?" I inform.
"Hmm, we could go out for lunch?" she suggested.
"Sure, we can go to Murakami-san's, eat there, and then pick up something for the boys and Master Splinter," I say with a smile. She nods and we head towards the noodle shop. It doesn't take long until we reach our destination. I open the door and we enter.
"God afternoon Murakami-san," I greet as we enter.
"Ah, Elizabeth-chan, good afternoon to you too. Who is your friend?" he replies with a warm smile.
"This is Cade. She is the newest member of the turtle family," I tell him. Cade turns and gives me a look like I've gone crazy, but I only smile
"It is very nice to meet you Cade. Elizabeth, how are the turtles?" he asks while Cade and I sit at the counter.
"They're great," I tell him.
"That is nice. Now, how may I help you two ladies?" he questions.
"I would like some pizza gyoza please," I say and turn towards Cade.
"Just some miso soup for me Murakami-san," Cade answers with a smile.
"Ah, very good," he replies and quickly begins to work on our order. I turn towards Cade.
"So, will I be able to see your room when we get home?" I ask giving her the puppy dog eyes.
"Yeah, just godda get my guitar home then you and the guys can see it when we get home," she agrees. I then fist pump the air.
"You are so weird," she mumbles placing her hand on her head. I smile and say, "Then when April comes over to drop off my school stuff tomorrow, she can see it too."
"Why did April get you your stuff anyway?" Cade asked turning her head towards me.
"Because when I went to school at the orphanage, they provided everything for us. I have no clue what I needed for public high school," I explain.
"It not all that fun you know. I don't know why you didn't let Donnie teach you your something like that," she retorted.
"It can't be that bad Cade. Besides, if I stay at the lair where's the fun in that," I smile.
"True," Cade agreed as Murakami brought us our food. I immediately started eating my food as Cade started slurping her soup.
"Hey Cade, you wanna try my pizza gyoza?" I ask picking one up with my chopsticks. She shrugs and takes my chopsticks. As she sticks it in her mouth her eyes light up.
"Those are pretty good," she says. I smile and nod my head placing another one in my mouth. We soon finish our food.
"Is there anything else I could get you?" Murakami-san asked with a smile.
"Could I get four orders of pizza gyoza and one of miso soup please?" I ask politely.
"Of course. Is it for the turtles?" he asked.
"Yes," I giggles. He lets out a chuckle and begins to work.
"So, what should I know about Roosevelt High School?" I ask turning to Cade.
"First, do well in school. You know the best to your ability. Second, don't get into any fights. Leave the fighting to me. Third and most important of all, do not piss off the mean girls. If you do, they will make your life a living hell," she warns. I nod and repeat what she said numbering off with my fingers, "Do well, no fights, and no pissing off the mean girls. Got it," I repeat giving her a thumbs up. She pats my head with a smile.
"Good girl. Just stick with April and me and you'll do fine," she says. I turn my head towards Murakami-san, who had just finished my order.
"Here you go Elizabeth-chan," he said handing me the orders.
"Thanks Murakami-san, how much do I owe you?" I ask reaching for my wallet.
"There is no need for that, it is on the house," he smiles.
"Really? Thank you Murakami-san," I thank with a grateful smile.
"You are welcome. Good bye you two. Tell the turtles I said hello," he instructed.
"Will do, good bye," I say as Cade and I get up and walk out the door.
"Well let's head back to the lair," Cade instructed.
"Alright," I smile and we begin to walk to the manhole nearest to the lair. About half way there, Cade stops walking. I turn towards her and see her facial expression. It looks like she had seen a ghost.
"Cade, are you alright?" I ask walking towards her.
"Lizzy, we need to get to the nearest manhole and fast," Cade says.
"Why?" I ask concerned. She only points. I follow her finger to an angry looking man.
"Who's that?" I ask, but I think I already know the answer.
"My dad," she says. We stand there a few more moments before we turn around and begin to walk away.
"Hey Cade! Come here, Now!" a voice says. I turn my head to see that her dad has spotted us and he was gaining on us.
"Run!" I yell handing her my bag with my drawing stuff and grabbing her hand. We begin to run as fast as possible. I glance behind us and see that he is right behind us. I turn into the next alley and see a manhole. I quickly run to it and lift it up with Cade helping me. I have Cade jump in first and I soon follow, not bothering to close it. Turns out that was a mistake because after we jumped in, he followed.
"Come on, we can lose him in the sewers and get to the lair," I inform and she nods. We go straight and then take a left, followed by a right, and then head towards the lair. I turn back and see that he isn't following us anymore. I let out a sigh and we run back to the lair. We jump over the turnstiles and fall to the ground painting. The boys immediately run over to us.
"Lizzy, Cade what happened?" Leo asked kneeling down beside us. I sit up and get ready to explain.
"Well, Cade and I went out shopping today. I needed a new sketch book and Cade had to get something. When we finished shopping, we went to Murakami-san's and ate. By the way, we got you something to eat," I begin holding up the bag of food. "Anyway, after we left we were heading home. About half way home Cades dad saw her and started chasing us. We jumped into the sewers, but he followed us. I think we lost him, but he could still be in the sewers for all I know," I finish explaining. I turn towards Cade who has her fist clenched and an angry look on her face. She stands up, leaving my bag but grabbing her guitar, and storms off in the direction of her room. The next thing I hear is a slamming door.
"I think she's mad," I say frowning. I'm a very happy person and I really don't like it when people get mad or sad.
"Yah think?!" Raph shouts standing up with fists clenched. Donnie then turns towards me.
"So he could still the in the sewers?" he questions. I nod as we all stand up.
"I think we should go look, just in case," Leo says. I nod handing the food to Mikey.
"Go put the food in the kitchen. I'll go put my stuff in my room and meet you back here soon," I instruct heading towards my room. When I get there I quickly set my stuff down on my desk, adjust my mask, and grab my weapons. I then run back into the living room where the boys are.
"I think someone should stay and try to talk to Cade," I say. Everyone nods and turns there head towards Raph.
"What are you looking at?" he snaps with his arms crossed.
"I think you should talk to her. After all, you have anger issues too," Leo says.
"WHAT?! Why me? Why nod Lizzy?" Raph stammers.
"Because he chased me along with Cade and I wanna talk with this guy," I tell him. I watch him think a little bit before letting out a sigh.
"Fine," he mumbles. We smile and leave the lair. I just hope Cade will be alright.
Raph's P.O.V.
So I'm stuck here to talk with an emotional girl.
"Oh well, might as well try," I say heading towards Cade's room. Once there I go to knock, but stop. I stop because I hear grunting. After, I actually do knock.
"Go. Away!" she yells as the grunting stops.
"Cade, it's Raph," I yell back.
"Go away! I don't want to talk," she answers.
"You Know, sometimes it's better to talk it out than keep it bottled up inside," I tell her. There is a pause before she answers, "How would you know?"
"You're not the only one with anger issues," I say. It's quiet for a few minutes and I wonder if I should leave or not.
"Fine, door's open," she quietly agreed. I grab the handle and twist the knob. Opening the door, I see the crimson red painted room. The room itself was bigger than Lizzy's and had more room on its right than its left. To the left of the room there is a black bookshelf that comes up to about my hip. It is filled with all kinds of books and on it was a lamp with old photos clipped to it. Next to the bookshelf is what looks like a giant, white, fuzzy beanbag chair and couch mixed; it could probably fit about two or three people. On it was a rose shaped pillow. There was a gap before the corner, but what was in the corner is what surprised me. In the corner was a new, but used, punching bag with a pair of old boxing gloves next to it. My eyes move along the wall, which was had some posters of bands on it, until I reached a black desk with metal legs. On it was a red laptop, a bunch of notebooks, an iPod dock and a regular lime green table lamp. The desk chair was white and rounded, kinda like and egg. Next to the desk was a tin trashcan that you had to step on a petal to open it. On the wall with the door, there is a matching black dresser, about the same height as the bookshelf but longer, with a bunch of pictures on it. The knobs are white and carved to resemble a rose. At the end of the wall there is a large lamp, just like the little one on the bookshelf but bigger. Then, on the floor of the room is a giant, rectangular, fuzzy, gray rug In the middle of the room and partly under the bed. At the wall at the far end is a black, iron canopy bed with white curtains' on it. The headboard has a rose design twisted with the iron, but there was no footboard. There are many pillows on the bed in many different sizes, sticking with the room theme and colors. Her blanket is black with one giant, white rose on it. Only the tips of the rose are red. Also, there was a gray blanket draped on the end. On each side sat a round side table with more tamps with old pictures. Cade sat on the edge of the bed holding a worn out rabbit. Her hair had been put up since she got home into a messy bun and she now had on a pair of black yoga pants and a white tank top. I also noticed that she had wrapped her hands. I slowly walk into her room and make my way over to the bed.
"Is this seat taken?" I ask pointing to the open spot next to her. She shrugs and I sit.
"Your room looks nice," I say looking around it. It really did look nice.
"Thanks," she says with a small smile. I then give her a reassuring smile.
"Who's your friend?" I ask gesturing towards the bunny.
"Flopsy, my bunny. I've had him since I was a baby," she explained hugging him tightly.
"That's nice, so why'd you run off like that?" I ask her. She looks away from me as her smile turns into a frown.
"Cade, will you please tell me what's wrong? I mean if you don't tell me, Lizzy will be bothering you nonstop until you tell someone," I say, trying to convince her. Cade then turned back to face me, looking right into my eyes.
"It's just… I'm so angry at myself for being afraid of my dad. I'm supposed to be tough… and when he chased me and Lizzy, I fell apart. THAT is what angers me the most," she confesses to me.
"So, you feel like you shouldn't be afraid of him, but you are and that makes you mad?" I question to see if I understood it right.
"Yeah. Do you ever feel that way?" she asks me.
'Well, might as well tell her,' I think to myself placing a hand on my face.
"Yeah, I do around… cockroaches," I mumble quietly hoping she didn't hear me.
"What?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
"I said cockroaches," I say so she can hear me. She cocks a smile and lets out a small giggle.
"Really? Cockroaches?" Cade giggled.
"Yeah. Bad childhood experience," I tell her. That's when she begins to laugh out loud and falls back on her bed, letting her bunny hit her pillows. I let out a chuckle. Let's face it, it is pretty funny.
"Glad I could make you feel better," I chuckled.
"Yeah thanks," she told me with a smile. "So, do you really think my room looks nice?"
"Yeah, I like the colors. I also noticed you like pictures," I said looking around at all the pictures she had.
"Yeah, they remind me of how my life used to be?" she admits.
"Used to be?" I ask raising an eye ridge.
"Yeah, but I don't want to talk about it… not yet," she says.
"That's fine, but remember you can talk to me about anything. Anyway, I also see that you like to read," I say nodding towards the overflowing the bookshelf.
"Yeah, I know and I love reading," she admits standing up and walking over to it. She pulls out a book and then walks back over.
"This one's my favorite," she says holding out a book to me. I take it and read the title.
"Jurassic Park? Really?" I say in a surprised voice.
"Yeah, got a problem with it?" she snaps crossing her arms.
"No it's just… it's my favorite too," I admit handing it back to her.
"Really?" she asks taking the book.
"Yeah, I read it all the time," I tell her standing up. I look around the room again, but this time I notice a large case.
"What's that?" I ask pointing towards the case.
"That's my guitar that I got today," she said walking towards the case and picking it up. Placing it on the bed, she undid the latches and opened it up, revealing a beautiful red guitar.
"Wow, that's amazing," I say eyeing the guitar.
"Yeah it is. My mom taught me how to play when I was young," she said taking it out of the case. She then held it in the right position and began playing. She played so beautifully. And she looked so happy doing it.
"You're amazing," I compliment.
"Thanks, I write my own songs too," she said with a smile and then placing it back in the case. She then closed it back and placing it under the bed.
"So, what's up with the punching bag?" I ask. She smiles and walks over to it, I follow.
"Yeah, remember I used to box. I'm thinking about taking it back up," she stated with a smile giving the bag a pat.
"Is that why I heard grunting when I first came to talk to you?" I asked crossing my arms.
"Probably. I get out my anger that way. If I don't, I blow up in people's faces," she admitted.
"Understandable," I agree with a nod.
"So, you wanna go and see if the others are back yet?" I ask pointing my thumb towards her door.
"Sure, might as well," she agreed. We then walked towards the door and out of the living room
Cade's P.O.V.
As we entered the living room, I saw that everyone was home and eating their food Lizzy had gotten them.
"Raph, your pizza gyoza is on the kitchen," Lizzy informed from her spot on the couch next to Mikey. Raph quickly left for the kitchen and I made my way over to the couch, sitting on the opposite end of the couch then Lizzy.
"So, did you see him?" I quietly ask un-wrapping my hands.
"No we didn't, but I was really more concerned about you," Lizzy said.
"Yeah, how are you feeling?" Mikey asked. If there's one thing about Mikey and Lizzy, they're always concerned for a friend.
"I feel a lot better, thanks," I reassure them, ending it with a smile.
"Well that's good," Leo said turning away from his TV show that he enjoys watching so much.
"So, do you guys plan on going out on patrol tonight?" I ask.
"Yeah," Leo said not taking his eyes off the TV this time. Then Raph came back out carrying a plate of his food.
"Sweet, I can't wait to bust some heads," Raph cheered with a smile sitting down next to me. I watch give me a look and I glare at her in response.
"So, what do you guys wanna do till then?" I asked. They all turned towards me with smile.
"VIDEOGAME COMPETETION!" Lizzy and Mikey cheered. I groan. I am terrible at videogames, but this is what we did for the next four hours. We played videogames and I lost every time I played. It was terrible, yet also fun.
"Alright guys, time for patrol," Leo told us standing up and stretching.
"Aww," Mikey and Lizzy wined together standing up. Donnie and Raph followed suit.
"What are you going to do while we're gone Cade?" Lizzy asked heading over to the entrance to put on her patrol gear with Mikey.
"Probably just pick up a good book or punch my bag," I tell her standing up and stretching myself.
"Sounds fun," Raph said heading over to the entrance with Donnie and Leo.
"Yeah, I'll see you guys later," I told them.
"Come on guys, let's go," Lizzy lead grabbing Mikey's hand and dragging him out of the lair, both of them smiling.
"Lizzy, I'm the leader remember. Come on guy's, let's go," Leo mimicked following Mikey and Lizzy. Donnie and Raph soon followed Leo. I look around the living room and notice how dirty it is. I sigh and begin to clean the room. I first organize the videogames and systems. Once that is done, I pick up all of Raph's comics and place them in a neat stack by his beanbag chair. Lastly, I pick up all the stray pizza boxes and soda cans and head to the kitchen to throw them away. When I get in there, I notice Master Splinter in there eating his Miso soup.
"Good Evening Master Splinter," I greet with a smile throwing away the garbage in my arms.
"Good evening to you as well Cade. Thank you for cleaning up the living room," he replies with a warm smile.
"No problem," I giggle sitting down at the table with him.
"So tell me, have the boys and Lizzy left for their nightly patrol yet?" he asked.
"Yeah, they just left," I inform and he nods.
"I want to thank you for giving Elizabeth the inspiration to go back to school," he smiled.
"No biggy Master Splinter. I was happy when she wanted to go back," I tell him. We sit there a few moments in awkward silence speaks up.
"Cade, I know how it must have been to have such a terrible father and I want to let you know that you will always be a part of this family. Just like Elizabeth, I think of you as my daughter," he explained with a small smile placing a warm, fuzzy hand on my shoulder. I look up into his warm eyes, knowing what he says is true.
"Thank you Master Splinter. That means so, so much to me," I tell him placing a hand on my heart with a smile.
"You are welcome," he replies taking his hand from my shoulder.
"Well, while it's quiet I believe I'm gonna go pick up a good book," I say standing up. He nods with a smile. I leave the kitchen and head for my bedroom, taking down my hair while doing this. I open my door and head straight for my bookshelf and grab my favorite book. Then I head for my bed and flop down on it. I open up from where I left off and begin to read. Only after reading a page I just can't seem to get into it tonight, so I mark my page and place it on my side table. Turning on my back, I stair up at the ceiling. I just can't seem to concentrate. I mean when I stormed off earlier today, I knew someone would come and talk to me. I figured it would be Lizzy or Mikey or even Master Splinter, but I never thought it would be Raph. And when he did talk to me, he wasn't mean or anything like he is with Lizzy and his brothers most of the time. He was sweet and kind. Plus, he really seemed like he was interested in what I had to say. I feel butterflies in my stomach as I'm thinking about this.
'What's happening to me?' I think, only the more I think about it, the more it happens. Then it hits me. I like Raph, a lot. I'm not sure if it's love or not, but it's definitely a lot more than just liking him.
'I wonder if this was how Lizzy and April felt about their turtles,' I wonder flipping over on my side and grabbing Flospy. I let thoughts of Raph drift through as I fell fast asleep.
Raph's P.O.V.-Later that night
We were just coming home from patrol and I was pooped.
"Well I'm going to bed, goodnight," I announce heading towards my room.
"Goodnight," everyone choruses. I soon reach my door, but then something catches my eyes. The light in the room next to mine was on, which it just happened to be Cade's room. I grab Cade's doorknob and slowly open her door. When I peek in I see Cade asleep on her bed. I smile and tiptoe in her room. Taking the blanket from the end of her bed, I cover her up. I look at her for a moment. She looks so cute when she is asleep. I run my hand through her long, black hair before turning off her light and closing her door. I then head into my room and flop down on my bed. All night I've been thinking about Cade and I can't get her out of my head. She's so sweet and tough. She's also afraid of something she shouldn't and it makes me mad. She shouldn't have to put up with that. And then every time I think about her beautiful green eyes, my stomach starts to twist in knots.
'What's happening to me?' I question myself, but now the knots are getting worse. Then it hits me. I really like Cade… a lot. Definitely more than like, maybe even love. Man I'm sounding all muchy and girly, but I reall feel this way.
'I wonder if this is how Mikey and Donnie first felt about their girls,' I flipping onto my side. I soon fall asleep, dreaming about Cade and her beautiful eyes.
