Journal entry N°10:

Catchy, not.

Has it ever happened to you that you get a catchy tune stuck in your head for a whole day?

Well, that happens to me… a lot.

In my line of work you come across hundreds of tunes that I could get stuck with but funny thing is I always seem to get stuck with the silliest, childish, most unusual songs ever; most of them are parodies of an original song and to be fair, they're… better than the original stuff.

Just saying.

Which reminds me… there was this time when I first moved in with the guys. I was just recovering from my surgery, the aftershock of leaving my place and tons of other stuff.

Those sure were stressful days.

I needed to distract my mind with something but what! Books weren't helping, TV was too boring and videogames had lost its charm… so YouTube was my last option.

And then it happened.

For the next 2 weeks I couldn't get rid of that silly but catchy tune until I sang it out loud. That seemed to do the trick.

What I didn't know was that someone had paid close attention to me during those 2 weeks of self inflicted musical torture.

I wasn't expecting to hear that song in particular ever again but it sorta came back to haunt me and everyone else in the lair.

It all started a Saturday, if memory serves me well; I was out with Raph at the airport, we were waiting for the last of my stuff to arrive…

…

"How long do we have to wait here?" Raph asked, looking clearly annoyed.

"I have no idea" Who answered, stifling a yawn.

Three hours had passed and the flight with the last of her bags was nowhere to be seen. Another flight delay, Who thought. That was ok with her but after having listened to the all the songs in her mp3… twice, her patience was running thin.

The sai wielder squirmed on his seat trying to be as comfortable as possible without any success and tugged at his jacket. "Stupid clothes, they're itchy!"

Who sighed. "Tell me about it"

Feeling Raph's confused gaze on her, the girl chuckled. "Just so you know, not all humans are comfy wearing clothes"

"Oh yeah? Name one"

Who smirked. "You're looking at her"

Raph blinked. "…ok now name ten"

Who's phone rang interrupting the conversation.

"It's Don" She said after looking at the screen. "Hello? … No, we're still stuck here… I don't know, maybe two more hours. Why?"

Who's calmed expression was soon replaced by a questioning one. "What? … ok, ok; I'll be there as soon as I get my stuff"

"What's wrong with Brainiac?"

"Mikey is driving him crazy"

The sai wielder rolled his eyes and sighed. "What'd he do now?"

"I couldn't understand what Don said but I'm guessing your dearest baby brother is sugar high again" Who said. "If that's the case then calming him down shouldn't be so hard, right?"

Raph snorted. "You wish"

…

When Raph and Who made it back to the lair after six long hours of waiting, the last thing they expected to see was an olive-green turtle hiding behind the couch pressing a couple of pillows against his ear slits.

"Uh, Donnie? You ok?" Raph asked in concern.

Don came out of his hideout sighing in relief. "Finally! Please, make him stop! I haven't been able to work because of that stupid song Who-"

"-now hold up a sec! I haven't taught Mikey anything!" Who replied angrily.

"Well, that's not what he said!" Don replied back.

"Stop it you two! This ain't helping" Raph interfered. "First things first, where's the lil' bugger anyway?"

As if on cue, Mikey came out of the kitchen with Klunk tucked under his arm; singing loudly and out of tune.

"There's a creeper on the roof, LALA-LALALA. There's a creeper on the roof, LAAA-LALALALALA. Creeper on the roof, LALA-LALALA!"

Who slapped her forehead in annoyance. "Oh, not that song!"

"EVERYBODY SING! Ho-ole in the roof, LALA-LALALA! There's a ho-ole in the roof, LAAA-LALALALALA! Ho-ole in the roof, LALALALALALA!"

"That sounds a lot like Brown girl in the ring, doesn't it?" Raph pointed out.

Who nodded. "Yeah, but what Mikey's singing is just a-"

"-Creeper on the roof, LALA-LALALA!"

"Mikey, shut up!" Don yelled.

"I can't! That song is just hilarious!" Mikey giggled. "And I definitely need to download it and use it as my ringtone, as wake-up tune, a remix… THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!"

Raph groaned and glanced at Don. "Tell me you didn't let him eat chocolate donuts for breakfast again"

Unexpectedly, the orange-clad ninja turned to his dark haired friend. "Whoey, you just gotta give me the link of that video! Pleeeease!"

"Oh no, you won't!" Don intervened. "And Who, you better not tell him anything!"

"Trust me, I won't"

"Awww, c'mon! You can't hide such precious info from me!" Mikey pouted. "At least do it for Klunk" He added nearly shoving the cat's face into Who's.

"Sorry but that's not gonna happen" The girl said stepping back from Mikey. "And by the way, if you don't have the link of the video already then how did you learn that song anyway?"

Mikey chuckled, putting the orange tabby on the floor. "Easy, you were literally screaming it while dancing in your room"

Who's eyes opened like saucers. "WHAT! H-How did you-"

"-And I got proof of it~" The orange-clad ninja added waving his shell-cell at Who's nose.

The girl growled and pounced at the ninja's hands, trying to snatch the device. "MIKEY, GIMME THAT!"

"Nuh-huh~"

"MIKEY!"

The orange-clad turtle skillfully back-flipped his way away from the angry girl, laughing wholeheartedly at her growl of frustration.

Seeing that there was no point on chasing Mikey at this point, Who stopped the chase and sighed in defeat. "This is worse than when I showed him The Flop song"

Don's hand came out of the blue and landed on Who's mouth, promptly silencing her. "DON'T SAY IT OUT LOUD!"

The laughing turtle landed on his feet and turned around, smiling widely. "Wow, I can't believe I had forgotten about that one! Now I can sing both songs all day!"

Don's jaw tightened. "Mikey, you better not-"

"-OH, I KNOW! I'll mix both songs! Sure there must be a way to fit The Flop in the Creeper on the roof song, right?"

…

Minutes later, the lair's elevator door opened revealing a blue-clad turtle carrying some boxes.

"I wonder if Raph and Who are back" Leo thought, placing the boxes on the floor. "Donnie? Mikey? Anybody home?"

Suddenly, the lair's main entry door opened and a scared Michelangelo ran through them followed by a furious Donatello.

"AHHH! DONNIE, C'MON MAN! DON'T HATE JUST CUZ YOU CAN'T SING LIKE ME!"

"MIKEY, DON'T YOU DARE SING THAT AGAIN!"

"CREEPER ON THE ROOF, LALA-LALALA!"

"MIKEEEEYYYY!"

Both arguing turtles disappeared inside the tunnels, leaving the lair in silence.

"Wow, that was quite the welcome I wasn't expecting" Leo said to himself.

Raph had just come out of the kitchen when he saw Leo walking towards him. "Oh, you're back"

"Any idea why Don was chasing Mikey?" Leo asked.

"Don went nuts thanks to Mikey" Raph answered. "I think I better go after them, they've been like this for a while now"

"Good luck with that" Leo chuckled; then, he turned to the girl sitting at the table, her face planted on its wooden surface.

"Hey Who, got some more of your stuff from April's"

"Nice" Came he muffled reply.

Pulling up a chair, Leo sat beside Who. "What was that song Mikey was singing?"

"That was a Yogscast reference and now it's stuck in my head again!" Who said, lightly banging her head on the table. "It took me two weeks to get rid of it, what do I do now?!"

"Uhmm… do the flop?"

Who looked up at the turtle in blue, her eyes narrowed. "Not funny, Leonardo"

…

… yeah, I guess next time I'll just have to pick up a better song to get stuck with but for now, let's all do the flop while creepers blow up holes in the roof.

What!

Not my fault those songs are catchy.

Or not?
