Me: Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in awhile- I've been rather busy as of lately.
Raph: Yeah, yeah, excuses, excuses...
Me(whining indignantly): Hey, why don't you guys try writing multiple creative stories for a change?!
Leo(matching my tone best as possible):Hey, why don't you try stopping an alien invasion, or fighting Shredder for a change?!
Turtles(in unison): Oooohhh...BURN!
Me: Okay, okay you win! Obviously, I can't do those things...but I can post another chapter within a single night!
Turtles(in phony amazement): Ooooohhhhhh...
Me: Okay, fine, let's get to business...Here's the long anticipated chapter 6 people!
Mikey: Enjoy people...'cause I finally get to...*muffled sounds*
Me(laughing nervously, while trying to cover Mikey's mouth): Hehe...Mikey, let's try not to blast the mine 'til all the dynamite is in place.
Donnie(panicking): WHAT?! There's NO WAY either of you can be using dynamite! YOU AREN'T EVEN LEGALLY OLD ENOUGH TO HANDLE EXPLOSIVES, LET ALONE ACTIVATE THEM!
Everyone stares intensely at a freaking out Donnie,who is now breathing heavily in an attempt to calm down.
Leo: Easy, Donnie...take deep breaths now...in...out...
Me: Uhh...Donnie...you do realize I was was speaking in metaphors...meaning I was telling Mikey not to ruin the surprise before the story is finished, right?
Donnie(blushing nervously, stammering): Oh...yeah..hehe..um...l knew that...
Raph: No ya didn't...you totally freaked out!
Donnie(blushing): No..I ..was...I was just...practicing my acting skills!
Mikey: Dude...that...was...AWESOME!
Raph + Leo(in disbelief): Acting skills...really?
Donnie(rubbing the back of his neck, speaking hastily): Yeah...and story in 3..2..1...ACTION!
"Mmph...MMPPPHHH...*gasps for air* What the...RAPH! What the shell man! What are you doing?! Mikey gasped as Raph had clamped his sweaty hand over his mouth, and dragged him back into the alley. Mikey felt relieved, knowing it was only Raph, yet he was upset too- partly because Raph had nearly scared the shell off of him( which he would never admit it), and partly because he was so close to...wait, what?!
"Mikey, what the shell are you thinking?! Going out in plain sight of people? Are you crazy?!... Raph is whisper-screaming in my face, shaking me by the shell the entire time. I wonder if he remembered to brush his teeth...'cause he could definitely use a breath mint. I let myself catch another glimpse of the heart-broken brunette who has stopped sobbing, but was now staring dejectedly at the phone in her hand. Man, she is so pretty, even if she does have tears staining her face. He wondered why she was so broken-hearted...he would give anything to put a smile on her face, hold her close to him and see her looking up at him...
I felt a smack on my head- not something l wouldn't normally get, yet l found myself stunned momentarily. "HELLO! Earth to Mikey...did you even hear me?" Yup, that got my attention, but what did he say? Guess l was gonna have to wing it. "Uhhh...you were saying that you were more awesome and powerful than me?"
The look that came across his face was incredible. First, he looked confused, shocked, then suspicious. I didn't realize how quickly emotions could come and go on peoples faces.
"Mikey...rooftop- NOW!" he said, giving me a glare that said ' you better listen or else!'. Man, was he sounding like Leo right now- not that l was gonna tell him that- l was a turtle who wanted very much to live- especially after seeing her. Nonetheless, l followed Raph up onto the rooftop. l was secretly glad, 'cause now I had a better view of her. Man, she was pretty.
Raph stood in front of me, arms folded, with a cross look on his face- uh-oh. "Alright, spill it! What's going on in that puny shell-brain of yours?"
l was about to answer, until l heard a shout of frustrated anger scream "YOU LIAR!"
. l looked in the direction of the girl. She had a look of mixed hurt and anger as she screamed , and threw her cell- phone hard across the road, where it shattered.
She was now standing up, pacing back and forth in the dimly lit isolated street, madder than a hornet, striking her fists in the air, throwing an occasional kick, shouting and cursing enough to make a sailor blush. To be honest, she didn't strike me as the person who would know, let alone use such terms. If anything though, l have learned that people are surprising like that. Raph must have been a little surprised to though- at least he stopped talking-he must have been enjoying the show, judging from the smirk on his face, which made me want to remove it by a good hard punch. That was definitely new- for me at least, definitely not Raph. What's up with that?
" I HATE THIS! she cried, striking an imaginary opponent. "I WISH I WAS BURNED IN THAT STUPID FIRE! l winced at that. l could imagine how painful that must have been. l wonder... "WHY DIDN'T I DIE IN IT? IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MY WORTHLESS ASS TRAPPED IN THAT FIRE!" Ouch, she must be traumatized, thinking something like that. How could she see herself as worthless? lf anyone were to ask me, l would say the opposite- and l'd mean every word of it! l felt my heart drop as she collapsed on her knees in the middle of the street, sobbing "WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE HER? WHY NOT ME?!" Call me crazy, but at this point, l am mentally screaming against her verbal abuse directed at herself. No one should think or say such horrible things. I wonder why she feels like that?
HONK, HOOONNKKKK!
I look to my left, hoping it wasn't what l thought it was. Yup, an eighteen-wheeler semi headed towards her direction. 'Please,hurry, get out of the road!' l mentally pleaded. To my horror, she seemed to have other plans.
"Roll on eighteen wheeler, roll on..." she sang softly. lf it weren't a critical situation, l would have love listening to her, but as it was, l saw she had no intentions of getting out of the road. I couldn't let that happen- l bolted off that roof.
"MIKEY, WAIT!" l barely heard Raph's voice, filled with panic, but l didn't care- l had to save her. I ran faster than l have ever ran before, as l worried, hoping and praying l would make it in time. l Everything seemed to happen in slow motion for me- like in all the movies l had seen, where those movies go in slow-motion when something action-packed is happening. As l got to the roads side, the semi half seconds away from her kneeling figure, and l leaped towards her, as she whispered saying "I'll see you soon". Wrapping my arms protectively around her, l somersaulted several times, as l felt the semi hit my leg, which hurt, but not my prime focus right now. As the semi passed, l carried her, as l leaped my way up to the nearest roof. l stared as l gently laid her down. Her eyes were still closed, which made me think she fainted. l took advantage of this, and studied her face. Raph would say she was hot- and l would have to agree. She had a perfectly sculpted figure curved in all the right places. Her wavy brown hair flowed all over the place, partially over her face. Without thinking, l gently brushed the hair from her face, and was left breathless by what l saw. Soft rosy cheeks sprayed with faint freckles, full pink lips, delicate arched eyebrows, with her eyelids gently closed. She was an angel. l was hypnotized by her lips, they looked so soft...l wanted to touch them...
"MIKEY! WHAT THE SHELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! RUNNING OUT IN FRONT OF THAT SEMI, AND NOW...WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
I snapped up really quick, realizing just how close l was leaning over her. l was faintly relieved at Raph's interruption...a few seconds more and...well...lets just say that disaster was avoided more than once tonight. Now, l had to face a rampaging Raph. Great going Mikey. Just wait 'til Leo finds out. Hopefully before...
"Ugh...why...did you...do that?" a new voice asked, which had Raph and l frozen in our tracks.
Me: Finally! Second time is definitely a charm!
Raph(arms crossed, scowling): Yeah, not liking what you're doing to my image...you're overplaying my protective side! Not cool!
Mikey(playing pity Raph, making kissy sounds): Awwww...poor wittle Waphie...he does wuv me...HOW ADORABLE!
Raph(angrily): Can it, Shell-brain!
Leo(smirking wickedly): Hey Mikey...That girl is really pretty...what do you think of her?
Mikey(caught off guard, stammers nervously): Uhh...well...you know...she's pretty...and... ahem, that's not fair!
Leo(still smirking): Well, if l didn't know better, l'd say you were in love...
Mikey(blushing furiously): What?! no, l'm not...
Raph and Leo chanting: Rose and Mikey, sitting in a tree...
Mikey: Hey, knock it off...
Raph and Leo (loudly): K-I-S-S-I-N-G... *everyone but Mikey bursts in laughter.
Mikey(pleading): Donnie, please help me...
Donnie(still laughing hard):Sorry...not this time...you've been asking for this!
Mikey(looking at me): Please hurry with the next chapter, save me from this torture!
Me(laughing): All in good time...although l may add...be careful what you ask for...*smiling evilly*
Mikey(wide-eyed): UH-OH! l'm doomed!
Me: Hey readers, what do you think? Sorry about taking down the last chapter...that was an accident, but l can't say l'm disappointed with the results! What about you? Your opinions matter!
