I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY! I'm sorry I was so late. Seriously, I promise that it will never, ever, ever, ever happen again. Now I do not own TMNT, but maybe someday. Now let's just get on with the story already!
Lizzy's P.O.V.
"Hey Lizzy. I need to have a word with you…" Missy hissed inches away from my face.
"Well can we make it quick please? I've got homework," I said smoothly.
"I know you're new and all but what you did today was unacceptable. I was just trying to help you on the social food chain and there was no reason to be rude," she reprehended crossing her arms.
"What? Seriously? I was standing up for myself and my friends," I pointed out gritting my teeth. I felt her cronies grip my arms tighter. I guess they didn't like my response.
"And since I am higher then you on that food chain, you will respect me. Now I still see potential in you, so I'll ask again; would you like to join us and hung out with us instead of those losers?" Missy continued on like I didn't even talk. I had to take a deep breath and think of what to say so my words wouldn't come back to bite me. I looked right into her eyes before answering, "First off, I respect anyone who respects me, no matter how much more popular than me. Second, as I said before I would never want to hang out with you instead of my friends. Finally, can you think of any insult besides the word loser or is that the furthest your vocabulary can expand?" I gave a smug smile as she gave an angry and slightly scary glare with her fists clinched.
"Fine then, this means war Lizzy. And I, Missy Waterview, will win," she vowed through clenched teeth as I felt myself being dropped to the ground. I turned toward the door giving a cheerful smile laughing, "Whatever dude," before exiting the bathroom. From there I walked out of that school feeling like a boss. As I approached my friends they noticed the huge smile on my face.
"Have fun in the bathroom?" April laughed.
"No… well maybe," I laughed.
"Well, what happened?" Cade asked as well as questionable looks from Katie and April.
"Well just a little confrontation from Missy, but it's all good," I assured with a smile.
"Okay, if you say so," Katie said a little skeptical before a honking noise came from a blue pick-up truck.
"Well, there's my mom. See you tomorrow guys," Katie said before leaving us for the truck.
"Alright guys, to the lair!" I shouted pointing upwards before running down the street, excited to get home.
Raph's P.O.V.
IT has been a long day. I don't think I've missed someone so much as I miss the girls right now. I forgot how much Mikey bugged me before Lizzy came along. All day it's been, Raph watch this or Raph play videogames with me. It's driving me crazy. Is it possible someone could get even more annoying than before? Because I think Mikey could. Thank god it was almost time for them to come home. As of now, I was sitting in the beanbag chair reading my favorite comic book, or at least trying to.
"Raph, when are the girls coming home?" Mikey asked coming up from behind and looking over my shoulder.
"Soon," I plainly put flipping the page.
"How soon is soon?"
"Very soon… I hope," I answer saying the part under my breath. There's a silence as we sit there before he smiles.
"Hey Raph, you wanna play a videogame with me?" he asked. Here we go again.
"No," I say.
"Please?"
"No."
"Please Raphie?" Mikey begged giving me the best puppy dog face he could manage. He sat there for a few seconds before I let out a sigh.
"Fine. One round, but you have to promise not to bug me for the rest of the day, got it," I agree giving in.
"You're the best bro ever," he smiled giving me a hug before running off and getting the game ready.
"He said the same thing earlier today when I helped him fix his skateboard," Donnie said from behind his laptop as I sat next to him on the couch. Mikey then ran over to me handing me a remote controller with his own in his hands. We were about to start the game when…
"WE'RE HOME!" A female voice I only recognize as Lizzy shouted into the lair.
"LIZZY!" Mikey yelled dropping his controller and running off to see Lizzy.
"So much for that idea," I mumble only loud enough for Donnie and me to hear.
"Well, that's Mikey for ya," Donnie replied standing up moving towards the entrance. I look over towards the group to see Mikey twirling Lizzy. I shake my head with a smirk moving my way over towards the entrance.
"I missed you too Mikey!" Lizzy giggle with delight as he put her down.
"So how was your day?" he asked.
"It was great! Come on, I'll tell you in the kitchen after I get a snack. I'm hungry," Lizzy told him grabbing his hand and dragging him into the kitchen. Donnie wrapped his arm around April as they walked into the kitchen. I walked slowly alongside with Cade.
"So did Lizzy get into any trouble?" I asked Cade quietly, not wanting the others to hear.
"Possibly," she simply put. I raised my eye ridge in confusion.
"You'll find out soon enough," she told me. I nodded.
"Moving on, how bad did Mikey annoy you today?" She smirked.
"You have no idea Cade. I never knew someone could get more annoying than before," I groan answering.
"I thought that might happen. At least you don't have to go to school. Trust me; you're not missing out on anything. It's just learning and lectures about learning," Cade said with no enthusiasm.
"Yeah I would probably fall asleep or somethin'. I mean, I can barely handle one of Donnie's nerd moments," I chuckled as Cade nodded.
"I know whatcha mean. I fell asleep last week during one of them. The thing is I don't think he even noticed," she laughed. You know, before now I've never noticed how beautiful her laugh was. It was so light and airy. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't notice Cade trying to get my attention.
"Earth to Raph. Hello?" she said waving her hand in front of my face.
"Wah, oh sorry. I got… caught up in my thoughts," I smiled sheepishly rubbing the back of my neck, feeling a faint blush creep across my face. As we stood there I silently hoped she didn't notice. Sadly, no such luck.
"Why Raphael, are you blushing?" Cade asked smirking, crossing her arms loosely while leaning on her right leg, closer to me.
"What? No!" I lie crossing my arms defensively.
"Alright, whatever you say," she agreed shrugging her shoulders moving into the kitchen, still with a smirk on her face. I place a hand on my face and sigh.
Donnie's P.O.V.
Everyone gathered in the kitchen to hear how Lizzy's first day at her new school went. In the kitchen already sat Master Splinter and Leo, who were talking.
"Hey girls," Leo greeted with a smile.
"Hi Leo," April and Lizzy replied in unison.
"Hello April, Elizabeth. How was your day?" Master Splinter welcomed as Lizzy approached the fridge and opened it.
"It was great Master Splinter," Lizzy cheered closing the fridge with an apple in her hand.
"School was fine," April answered as she and I took a seat at the table.
"That is nice. Where is Cade?" Master Splinter replied with a smile.
"Right here Master Splinter," Cade answered as she entered the kitchen with a smirk on her face. She was followed by Raph, who was… blushing? Hmmm, interesting. I'll ask him about that later. Anyway the two came into the kitchen and sat down at the table.
"How was your day Cade?" Master Splinter asked politely.
"It was okay," Cade answered.
"Okay Lizzy, tell us how your day was," Mikey commanded. Lizzy gave a small laugh before beginning her story.
"Well, first off the school is huge and there are so many people. I mean I guess I shoulda expected that since it is New York," Lizzy began before continuing on to tell us about her day, with comments from Cade and April. Like about her classes and some people she met, two boys named Lucas and Nick. Then there was also a girl Named Katie Ramirez she met in art class, who seemed really nice from the way Lizzy described her. But there was one part of her story that she seemed to leave out and not tell us, especially with the looks April and Cade gave her. I must admit, the tone in her voice seemed different from the other parts of the story, but I wouldn't question it… for now. The rest of her story seemed alright, and by the sounds of it, it sounded like she had a pretty good day. After she finished Lizzy took one last bite of her apple and threw it away.
"Well it sounds like you girls had a wonderful day. Now if anyone needs me, I shall be in the dojo meditating. And remember Elizabeth, if you want to go out on patrol later, you must finish your homework," Master Splinter said before standing up and leaving the kitchen. There seemed to be a moment of silence before hearing the faint click of the sliding doors shut.
"Alright Liz, I understand you not wanting to tell Master Splinter what happened, but you need to at least tell the boys," Cade immediately commands pointing at Lizzy.
"What happened?" I asked before Lizzy got a giant grin on her face and started laughing.
"I still can't get over Missy's face when I said that. PRICELESS!" Lizzy boomed with laughter, ignoring my question.
"Who's Missy?" I asked, trying to get some answers.
"Lizzy, this isn't funny. She will make the rest of your sophomore year terrible just for that one thing you said," April added in a protective tone.
"Who will?" I asked feeling a little frustrated that no would answer me. I could also see that my brothers were a little confused at what was going on. Cade and April scowled at the still laughing, who began to slowly stop. She looked at the girls, then us, and lastly Mikey who was staring at her with a confused look on her face. She sighed before answering.
"Fine, I'll tell them," she said before looking at us. "Today before my first hour, this popular girl named Missy and a couple of her friends' approached me, Cade, Nick, and Lucas claiming they wanted me to be apart or their group and called Cade and the Boys losers. I declined," Lizzy said. They girls seemed to make a big deal out of this, but from my point of view it wasn't really that bad. Lizzy didn't want to be friends with this Missy person, so what?
"That's great Liz, now tell them what you really said," Cade told us.
"ALRIGHT! Sheesh. When I declined I may have called her a slut or something like that," Lizzy mumbled crossing her arms not making eye contact with any of us. Okay, NOW I see what the big deal was.
"Lizzy, why would you say something like that?" Leo questioned with minor anger in his voice.
"I don't know. Before I could really comprehend what I was saying, I was already saying it. And now because I said that, Missy has declared war against me," Lizzy replied.
"When did that happen?" April asked.
"When I went to the bathroom," she answered. It was quiet for a minute until Lizzy spoke.
"Look guys, can we just forget about it. I promise I won't do anything like that ever again. Besides, I was just sticking up for myself," she softly promised.
"You promise not to get into any more trouble?" Leo sighed, entering big brother mode, which he has been using more and more on not just me and by brothers, but Lizzy and even April and Cade at times.
"I promise," Lizzy vowed looking up at Leo.
"Alright," he finally said. It was quiet before my cheerful little brother said something.
"Now that that's over, it's time for me and Lizzy to play some videogames!" He cheered grabbing Lizzy and dragging her out of the kitchen… almost.
"Hold your horses Mikey. Lizzy need to do her homework first," I say, making them stop in their tracks.
"So close Mikey, so close," I hear her whisper to Mikey.
"Fine, do your homework, but as soon as you're done you're mine, okay?" Mikey told her.
"Okay," Lizzy giggled before kissing him on his cheek.
"Alright, well I think I'm going to take a nap," Cade said leaving the kitchen.
"But who's going to help me with the rest of my math homework?" Lizzy asked to nobody in particular.
"I can help you Lizzy," I offer with a smile. She turns around with a smile.
"You will? Thank you Donnie," she smiled as she ran over and hugged me. I then hugged her back before letting go and getting her homework out.
"See you after," April said kissing my cheek and leaving the kitchen. I blush, sometimes I still can't believe that she's my girlfriend. Leo then left. Raph left after him, but not before telling Lizzy something.
"You know shorty, standing up for people is fine and everything, but next time let Cade handle it. But, I'm glad that you showed her nobody pushes Lizzy Hamato around," he smiled and then left. Yeah Raph encourage her, that's what she needs. As soon as he left I sat down next to Lizzy at the table and begun to help her with her homework.
Leo's P.O.V.
To tell the truth I was really surprised that Lizzy said that to this Missy girl, even if she was being mean. Look, I think of Lizzy as the little sister I never had, along with April. Even Cade is becoming part of the family. Anyway, I don't want Lizzy getting into trouble. It's probably a big brother thing, but who would want their little siblings to get into trouble, right? But she did promise not to do it again, and I trust her. So there is no reason to tell Master Splinter… at least not right now. I sat on the couch thinking about this while Mikey played his videogames, Raph watched Mikey, and April was on her laptop. Finally, after about half an hour later, Lizzy and Donnie exit the kitchen.
"Thanks Donnie," Lizzy thanked coming over and sitting on the couch next to Mikey grabbing a controller.
"No problem Lizzy. That's why I'm here," he replied sitting next to April and wrapping an arm around her. She then closed her laptop before leaning in and giving Donnie a kiss. After she laid her head on his shoulder and watched Lizzy and Mikey. Sometimes I wished I had what my brothers had. Two of them had girlfriends who loved them for them. Even something was happening between Raph and Cade. I mean I'm happy for my brothers, but I do get kind of jealous of them sometimes. Anyway, I sat there on the couch for the next three hours watching Mikey and Lizzy play videogames until it was time to leave.
"Alright guys, time to go," I told them standing up. They soon followed my actions. Me, my brothers, and April got up and headed towards the entrance to wait for Lizzy to get her weapons from the dojo, which she had left in there this morning. After that we left the lair, up to the surface, and headed towards Aprils to drop her off. After that we all met up on the roof.
"Alright guys, tonight we'll patrol around Murakami's and a little down town. Got it," everyone nodded, except for Raph who gave me a whatever. After that, we began jumping from building to building watching for anything that looked suspicious. So far, everything seemed quiet. We had been out for about an hour when I saw a group of shadows jumping across the rooftops, and I wasn't the only one.
"Hey Leo, you saw the shadows too, right?" Donnie asked as her stood beside me.
"Yeah I saw them Donnie. Foot Ninjas," I answer.
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go," Raph added. I nod and as we began to head in the direction of the shadows. It doesn't take us long until we find about five foot ninjas in an ally with Dogpound. But what really surprises us is that we see about three Kraang with them.
"Leo, are you seeing this?" Donnie asked.
"Yeah, but what are the foot and the Kraang doing here? Together?" I reply
"I don't know, but let's find out," Raph says before yelling a battle cry and launching himself into the ally.
"Raph, what the hell!" I whisper-shout after him. I look towards the other three, who only shrug and join Raph. I sign and join them as well.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? Four turtles and my wonderful daughter," Dogpound hisses as we pull out our weapons and get into our fighting stances.
"What are you up to Dogpound?" I ask in a leader voice.
"Yeah, and what are you doing with the Kraang?" Donnie asked glaring at two of our enemies'.
"Wouldn't you like to know? Foot, ATTACK!" Dogpound commanded.
"Get the ones known as the turtles and the other one," one of the kraang shouted.
"Gee, don't I feel special," Lizzy commented sarcastically as we began to fight. I attacked two of the foot, slicing with my katanas' against theirs. I then dodged one and swept the leg, leaving the other one. I charged at him as he charged at me. Our katanas' clashed together before I sliced at him, knocking him backwards, and then down. I glance over at the others to see that they had taken out the other ninjas, and not to mention the Kraang.
"Alright Dogpound now you're gonna-" I begin as I turn around, but I then see that he's gone.
"Where did he go?" Mikey asked scratching his head.
"I don't know, he just…" I trailed off.
"Disappeared," Lizzy finished for me.
"Well, that's just great!" Raph yelled kicking an empty pop can.
"What do you think this means?" Mikey asked.
"There's a whole list of possibilities Mikey, but I think that two of our worst enemies' are working together," Donnie answered. There was a moment of silence before we heard a quiet voice.
"What do we do now?" Lizzy asked.
"We wait, for now. Figure out what's going on. Come on guys, let's go home," I instructed. And with that we left for home, and even without a complaint from Raph.
Well, there you go. I promise you again, I will not make you wait that long again. I will be updating everyone one to two weeks. Now I have a big next couple of chapters coming up, plus some fluffy stuff XD BYEEE!
