Chapter 17
Later that evening, Makayla, her brothers and her boyfriend came back to the lair after the dance to watch a movie. Makayla turns off the lights and sits down on the couch next to Austin. Leonardo was sitting on the other side of Makayla, Donatello was sitting on the floor next to Michelangelo, and Raphael was sitting on the chair. Master Splinter was in his room meditating. After the movie, they all fell asleep in the living room. Austin had his arms wrapped around Makayla while he was sleeping. Raphael saw that, quietly walked around behind the couch and shouted, " What do you think you're doing?!" Makayla and Austin woke up screaming.
Makayla shouted, " Raph, what is your problem?!"
Raphael says, " Ma problem is yer boyfriend had his arm wrapped around ya while you guys were sleeping next to each other!"
Makayla says, " So what is the problem with that?"
Raphael says, " It's inappropriate!"
Makayla says, " That is so not inappropriate!" Raphael continues to argue with his sister until Leonardo woke up and said, " Raph, Makayla, what is going on here?! It's 3 AM! Go to sleep!"
Raphael says, " You go back to sleep, Leo. This doesn't concern you. This is between me and our sister."
Leonardo says, " Raph, what is going on here?" Raphael tells Leonardo what he saw. Master Splinter, Donatello, and Michelangelo got woken up by this conversation and they all found themselves in a huge argument. Then an unexpected earthquake interrupted them.
Makayla screamed, " It's the end of the world!"
Leonardo shouted, " Makayla, calm down!"
Donatello shouted, " Everybody get down and cover your head!" Makayla got so scared that she ran into her older brother Donatello's lab and took cover under his computer desk. The others took cover in different places around the lair. When the earthquake was over, everyone came out to look at the damage.
Michelangelo says, " Dudes, where's Makayla?!"
Donatello gasps and shouts, " MAKAYLA, WHERE ARE YOU?!" They all split up to search for Makayla.
Raphael finally shouts, " DON! MAKAYLA IS IN YOUR LAB!" Donatello and the others ran into to the lab. Donatello got down on the floor, pulled Makayla out from under the desk, threw his arms around her and said, " Thank god you're okay!"
Master Splinter says, " Makayla, are you alright?"
Makayla says, " Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little shaken up."
Donatello says, " Are you sure you're not hurt?"
Makayla says, " Yes, I'm fine, Don. So what was that?"
Donatello says, " It was an earthquake."
Makayla says, " How big was it?"
Donatello says, " I believe it was a 6.4 earthquake."
Raphael says, " I never would have guessed, brainiac."
Leonardo says, " Raph, shut up."
Raphael says, " No, you shut up Leo."
Makayla says, " Leo, Raph, we don't need to start a Shut Up Bit!"
Master Splinter says, " How many times have I told you children not to use the words " Shut Up" in this family?"
Makayla says, " At least a hundred times, sensei."
Master Splinter says, " Exactly." Just then, the lair started shaking again.
Makayla screamed, " It's the earthquake! It's coming back!"
Donatello shouts, " Makayla, that's just the aftershock!" They all took cover again. Then when it was over, they came out again.
Makayla says, " Is it over?"
Donatello says, " Yes, it's over. Everyone is safe."
Makayla says, " Yeah but where is Klunk?" Everyone searched the lair for the cat. Then they found him under Michelangelo's bed. Klunk crawled out from under the bed, meowed, rubbed his body against Makayla's legs and purred. Then they heard the elevator open and April and Casey came running into the lair.
April says, " Are you guys alright?"
Master Splinter says, " Yes, Miss O'neal, we are fine."
Casey says, "Man, that earthquake busted up my van!"
Raphael says, " Good to know, bonehead. For all we know you could have smacked into a brick wall when that earthquake happened."
Everyone stares at him and says, " Raph! Raphael!"
Raphael says, " What! I'm just saying!"
Makayla says, " Raph, shut...!"
Master Splinter says, " Ahem?!"
Makayla laughs shyly and says, " What I meant to say is Raph please be quiet."
Master Splinter says, " Thank you! That's much better Makayla."
