Journal entry N° 36- Who's entry:
Bloody Megalodon!
Ever seen a female cat in heat? How she meows and squirms and drives you insane? Mix that with a pissed off Godzilla, curled up on the floor so tight you think it's a ball. That right there? That's me the first day of my period.
Every. Fucking. Time.
And that description doesn't do justice to the real thing.
Growing up it was mostly my mom, my sister and I (dad was mostly at the hospital) so if one of us ran out we just asked each other and boom, problem solved.
Here in NY, I live with turtles. Male turtles. Male talking turtles.
Yeah, I think you understand my precarious situation whenever my body decides to remind me this time I didn't make a baby and I'm not prepared for the consequences of my uterus committing seppuku.
Usually I ask Mikey; he handled the situation better than his brothers when April came to live with them for a while. Plus, I think he's more in touch with his feminine side which is awesome.
This time in particular, Mikey wasn't around. He was out with April and Klunk at the vet. Don is babysitting Casey, big baby hurt himself pretty bad moving some furniture around the shop and April doesn't trust Raph to keep an eye on him.
I wonder why, she said sarcastically, holding her- Holy shit! OW! That hurt like a bitch!
The high pitched whine coming from the living room got Leo's attention. Downing the last of his sandwich with a fresh glass of orange juice, he left the kitchen and spotted the source of the pitiful sound, curled up on the couch and holding her middle as if her life depended on it.
Leo walked towards the couch and leaned on it casually. "Got it bad again, huh?"
"Shut up. Need pads. Go buy them"
"You could've asked Mikey. He doesn't mind doing that"
"Well, I didn't think I'd be getting my period today" Who replied, rolling onto her side.
"Don't girls have like a calendar for that kind of thing?"
"I never learned how to keep track. Now I just wait for the pain"
"April told us there are telltale signs-"
Who winced as another pain wave hit her due to her nonstop cramps. "Please just get me some pads! I'll pay you when you get back, go now!"
Leo straightened up and turned to leave only to go back on his steps a few seconds later. "Should I get tampons too?"
She gave him an annoyed glare. "Does it look like I use tampons?"
"Uh… April does"
"Right and just because she does that means I use them too. Your logic amazes me"
Leo sighed. "My mistake then. So which ones do I get again?"
Groaning, she grabbed her phone and typed rapidly. "I sent you a text"
"I'm right here, you know? You could've…" He looked at his phone dumbfounded. "Just how many different versions does a woman need?"
"Hey, every vagina is different. Don't discriminate"
"I'm not, it's just-"
"-oh my god, what are you still doing here! Go already!"
"I wanted to know how many you will need because I've seen ones that bring a hundred or more" Leo explained. "And it'll save you a second trip next time. Plus, it'll spare everyone the embarrassment"
"Grab a normal with twenty or something"
"Won't you need more? I know there's like a lot of blood-"
Who sat up, her hair covering half her face. "Leo, I know how much blood there is. I've been having my period for quite a while now"
"Right..." The ninja went to grab his coat and wallet. If he hurried maybe he wouldn't have people looking at him weird- weirder than usual.
He came downstairs and found Who laying in another odd, twisted position. It was both amusing and concerning. "I'll be right back, hang in there"
She smiled tiredly. "Thank you, you're a hero"
"C'mon, it's not that-"
"-my suicidal uterus appreciates it"
Leo's smile dropped. "…ok, you did not just say that"
Who chuckled. "I did. I wanted to see your reaction"
"Why!"
"I'm on my period, I need entertainment!"
"Whatever. I'm outta here" He jogged to the exit, not wanting to hear another witty comeback. "Next time you're on your own!"
As the door closed, Who's laugh mellowed and she rested back on a normal position. That hadn't been as bad as she'd pictured it in her head and the pain would last for a day only so it was a win-win situation… at least for her. And Leo could always punch whoever bothered him in the face.
"… fuck, I think I'm out of cream cheese and vanilla crackers"

Another update.
Much awesome. So progress. Wow.
There's not enough period fics around (not that I know of) so I had to fix that.
