I woke up early and went downstairs to the first floor apartments and went to 1A. I had turned the whole apartment into a kitchen/dining room. I went to the stove and started to make breakfast for myself and the boys. I started with scrambled eggs, blueberry muffins and bacon. When I had the muffins in the oven I felt someone behind me.
I turned to see Raphael with a turtle on his shoulder. It looked to be his pet.
"Hey Autumn I didn't know this whole apartment was the kitchen." Raph said as he got some lettuce out of the frig for his pet.
"Yeah I don't like cooking in my room only because it makes the whole apartment too hot. An because I am using the whole apartment as a kitchen I can have a lot more equipment and food here." I explained and worked on the bacon.
"I have to say well uh..," Raph said and looked a little shy.
"What is it Raphael?" I asked him while I plated all of the food.
"I wanted to thank you. For saving Donnie and Splinter an for letting us stay here." Raph said and scratched the back of his head.
I smiled and handed him a plate. Then I leaned into him and kissed his cheek.
"You're welcome Raph now go sit at the table while I got get your brothers and Splinter." I told him an walked out of the apartment and up the stairs.
I walked into 2A and checked on Donnie. He sat there on my couch wide awake and without his IV.
"Hello Donatello, I am Autumn, your new roommate and your nurse for the day." I introduced myself and checked his vitals.
"You uh you don't care that I'm…" He stammered.
"A giant turtle that knows martial arts? Not one bit. I'm kind of a mellow person so I don't mind much." I told him as I finished looking him over.
He smiled and I saw that he had nice brown eyes and a small gap in his teeth. It was cute on him. I stood up and went to find Splinter to see him meditating on the other bed in my apartment.
"Master breakfast is ready. Where are Mikey and Leo?" I asked him.
"They are bringing anything they can back from the lair here to our new home." Splinter said as he stood up and followed me out.
I nodded and went to Donnie and helped him stand. We walked down the flight of stairs to 1A and went in to enjoy breakfast. I saw that Raph had taken out the muffins and started the next batch.
"Thank you Raphael." I said to him and patted his head gently.
"No prob Autumn." He replied and placed a plate in front of Splinter and a saucer of lettuce for his turtle to eat.
I got a plate ready for myself and Donnie and sat down. We enjoyed our breakfast in a comfortable silence until we heard the back door slam with the sounds of Mickey and Leo talking to each other.
"Boys we are in here." Splinter gently said and watched as they came in with a few bags.
"Is that all of it?" I asked as I saw they only brought back three bags between the two of them.
"No there are a few more and the pinball machine but everything else is gone." Leo answered a little upset.
"Well we will just have to buy more than won't we. You guys get settles in any apartment on the second floor and third floor I have to get ready for school. I'll be back around five." I told them and ran back upstairs to change and grab my backpack.
I changed into some black sneakers; boot cut dark jeans, a pink shirt with the words: "I am only wearing pink because my executioner robes are dirty." I curled my shoulder length strawberry blonde hair and picked up my glasses. I don't normally wear them but I do when I go to school. It deters people from hitting on me when they think I am some kind of big nerd. I did however like my big blue eyes. Once I was done I went back into 1A and kissed everyone on their cheeks and stopped at the door.
"Don't destroy the place, find an apartment that you want and you can use my laptop to shop for new furniture. Have a good day guys." I told them and went to school. It was odd to have people to go home too but in the same breath they weren't really people. It was odd that I was so comfortable with mutants in my place.
*5:00 P.M.*
I walked into the "lobby" if you will and opened the mail. A few bills and some other things. Nothing to really worry about so I enter the main area of the apartment only to stop to see the others come flying to greet me.
"Welcome home Autumn!" Leo said happily.
"Hi Autumn!" Mikey and Donnie said to me.
"How's it goin Autumn?" Raph said with a smirk on his face.
"So what's with the at the door greeting guys?" I asked as I weaved around them and up the stairs into 1A.
"Well we were picking apartments and putting some of our last items into our rooms and we saw that on the fourth floor there is a room that is marked TV Room and we wanted to know if you would like to watch a movie with us." Donnie said bashfully.
"Oh and we invited a friend. A girl named April, we hope that's alright." Leo said realizing that this was my home too.
"Yes that's fine just make sure she understands that she isn't living here so she can't leave anything here." I explained to them.
"Why couldn't she live here Leafy?" Mikey asked me as we entered 2A and I went into my room. I quickly changed my pants and shirt into some pink yoga pants from Victoria Secret that says PINK on my ass and a gray wife beater.
"I don't have a problem letting you live with me because you need it, but I don't want people who have homes thinking they could move in here." I stated choosing to ignore the Leafy comment.
"What if she was in dire need my child?" Splinter said as he magically appeared in my living room.
I sat in a chair and thought about it for a moment then looked back at the turtles.
"If she asks and doesn't make things difficult then it is fine. Now did you all pick your apartment?" I asked them and they all nodded.
"Come look!" Mikey said and he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the hallway. 2B had a plaque with the Mikey's full name in orange below it. 2C was sporting Raph's name and 2D had Donnie's. Leo took 2E and Splinter took 2F, each plaque was different in not only the color but in the texture as well.
Mikey's was cartoonish while Donnie's was made with metal and had some block print. Raph's was two sais with his name in the middle while Leo's was just a piece of wood with Leo on it. Splinters was the only one that surprised me because it was his name in Japanese on an old scroll.
"Cool well I will need a list of the things you need and I'll start ordering. But for now let's go upstairs and watch a movie or two." I said happily and walked up the stairs. The boys either followed me or jumped on the rails up the stairs ahead of me.
This room was probably the one room I was proud of. There was a large TV off to the side of the room and a large couch and some blankets in front of it. There were about seven large tubs of movies and shows There were a few racks that held the movies on the opposite wall and in the area where the kitchen would be. The bedrooms held more racks but they were bare.
"So what's with all the bare racks?" Raph asked me as he looked at them.
"I have a lot of Dvds, Blu-rays and VHS so I need a lot of storage for them. The only reason why they are in the tubs are because they were delivered here from storage." I explained and took the top of the tubs off and presented a pillow case with Reese's cup picture on the front.
I handed the bag to Leo and smiled.
"What's with the bag?" Leo asked me.
"Easy each of us will go to a tub and pull one out. With our eye's close we will put them into the bag and then those are the movies we are going to watch first. This way there is no fighting." I explained and closed my eyes and pulled a movie out then quickly put it in the bag.
The boys smiled at this idea and each one did the same as I. Once the selecting was done we walked to the TV and finally sat down.
"Alright who will go first?" I asked them.
"I will! I will!" Mickey said happily and reached in to pull out a VHS called Sailor Moon S The Movie: Hearts in Ice.
"Aw man Mickey you picked a girly movie. Are all of your movies girly like this?" Raph asked me with a sneer on his face.
"No not all of my movies are girly. Some of these aren't mine and what do you expect of me I am a girl." I quipped at him and put the tape in the VCR and pressed play.
While we watched the movie a girl in a yellow shirt and jean shorts showed up at the apartment building. She called the number she was suppose to call and got Splinter. He nodded and went downstairs and let her in.
He went on to tell her where the boys and I were and she walked up the three flights to see us watching this movie. She walked in and made sure the boys knew she was there. I on the other hand was too engrossed with the show to realize there was someone else in the room.
Everyone was quite as we watched the movie and when the end credits started to appear I went to the VCR and stopped it to rewind the video.
"That wasn't so bad. Wasn't great but not bad." Leo stated.
"Oh Sailor Jupiter was beautiful." Mickey said in a wishful way.
"I'm more of a Sailor Mercury fan myself." Stated the girl and when I turned to see who said that I screamed a little.
"Whoa whoa it's alright Autumn it's just April remember?" Donnie said and tried to calm me down.
I breathed in deeply looked at the girl. She stared at me at the same time. It would seem that we were sizing each other up.
"So you're the girl that let them live here huh?" April asked.
"Yes I am. You are their first human friend." I said to her in an even tone.
She smiled at me and offered her hand. I shook her hand and realized that this may be a good friendship.
"Alright who chooses the next movie?" I asked and held out the bag.
"I will." Raph said quickly and put his hand into the bag and pulled out a DVD of Black Christmas the 2006 version.
"Sweet lets watch the horror movie!" I said happily and took out the VHS and put the DVD in to the player and got on the floor and sat next to Mikey.
I nudged him in joy and he smiled at me too. Seeing his lighter pale green skin, freckles and bright blue eyes made me smiled. Seeing the difference between each turtle was interesting like Raph's green eyes were always alit with passion and I also enjoyed the fact that his shell had scratched and cuts all over it. It just screamed Raph.
Then there was Leo, his back always straight and deep focused blue eyes. He looked like a goody goody and so far I wasn't wrong. Always polite and asked me things before he did them. Donnie's gentle brown eyes always drew me to him. His smile was very relaxed; however he was giving his smile to April.
I turned back to the movie and watched the girls starting to get drunk. Oh this was going to be good, I couldn't wait.
