Chapter 54

A few weeks later one evening at the lair when the Hamato family was asleep Makayla woke up to a sharp pain in her stomach. As she tossed and turned in her bed trying to make the pain go away the pain only intensified. She began to scream and cry which immediately caught the attention of her family. They came rushing into her room to see what the problem was.

Donatello worriedly says, " Move you guys!" as he pushed his way toward his sister. He sat down on the edge of the bed next to his sister who was hunched over clutching her stomach in pain. As he rubbed soothing circles on her back he worriedly said, "What's wrong Makayla?! Are you ok?!"

Makayla cried, " No my stomach hurts really bad Donny!"

Donatello worriedly says, " Where does it hurt?!"

Makayla pointed to the lower right part of her body and cried, " Right here!" Donatello gently pushed his hand at the spot that his sister pointed to and she screamed in pain.

Master Splinter worriedly says, "What is wrong with your sister Donatello?!"

Donatello gave him a straight face and said, " I think she has appendicitis."

Makayla panically says, " What the shell does that mean?!"

Donatello says, " What it means Makayla is that your appendix is inflammed and you need to go the hospital to get it removed."

Makayla panically says, " You're saying I need surgery for this?!"

Donatello says, " Yes. If you don't get your appendix removed it will rupture and cause a whole bunch of other health problems. Not to mention it could kill you."

Makayla panically says, " I don't want to die because of this!"

Master Splinter says, " Then listen to what Donatello is telling you Makayla."

Donatello says, " Leo call April and Casey and tell them meet us in an alley as soon as possible."

Leonardo says, " Sure thing Donny." Leonardo took out his shell cell and called April and Casey to tell them what was going on. Less then 15 minutes later they were all piled into Casey's van heading to the hospital. Makayla underwent an appendectomy to have her appendix removed. 2 months later another new girl came to Allendale High School. Her name was Bernadette Westbrook and she was 15 years old. She was cacausion, had a height of 5 feet 6 inches, had long straight red hair and green eyes. She looked like a rebel by the way she dressed. She was wearing a black t-shirt under a blue jean jacket and had on long blue jeans as well. On her feet she had black and white tennis shoes and on her head she had on a black beanie hat. She also had a piercing on her bottom lip. Despite her image she got along real well with Makayla, Morgan, Julia, Blaze, and Rachel. The 6 of them became friends and decided to have a sleepover at the lair on Friday night.

Bernadette says, " Yo check this out you guys." Bernadette stood on Makayla's bed and back flipped off it landing on her feet in the middle of the room. The other girls applaud this.

Makayla says, " That's really cool Bernadette."

Bernadette says, " Yeah I've been practicing that."

Morgan says, " Where did you learn that Bernadette?"

Bernadette says, " Ah, you know, gymnastics."

Blaze says, " You took gymnastics when you were little?"

Bernadette says, " Yeah of course I did Blaze. How else did you think I learned this?"

Makayla says, " We don't know maybe ninjitsu." The girls laughed their heads off.

Bernadette laughs and says, " You're such a ding dong sometimes Makayla but you're cool regardless!"

Makayla laughs and says, " Thanks Bernadette! I'll take that as a compliment!" As the girls talked with the bedroom door open they could hear loud rock music coming from Raphael's room.

Julia complained, " Seriously?! Why is Raph playing his music too loud?!"

Morgan says, " We don't know Julia."

Rachel says, " Why don't one of us just shout at him telling him to turn his music down?"

Makayla smirks and says, " No wait a minute guys I got a better idea! Just shut up for a second!" Makayla walked over to the doorway and shouted, " Raph!" But Raphael didn't hear this so Makayla imitated Master Splinter's voice shouting, "Raphael!" This time this was heard by both Raphael and Master Splinter. Makayla slammed the door shut laughing her head off with her friends just as Raphael and Master Splinter came to her bedroom door.

Bernadette laughed and said, "What the hell Makayla?!"

Makayla laughed and said, " I know Bernadette I'm a terrible person!"

Morgan laughed and said, " Omg Makayla that was f***ing hilarious!" Master Splinter knocked on his daughter's bedroom door and shouted, " Makayla Lynn Hamato open this door right now!" Makayla opened the door, laughed and said, "What Master Splinter?!"

Master Splinter angrily says, " What are you doing up here my daughter?!"

Makayla laughs and says, " I'm just having fun with my friends Sensei!"

Master Splinter angrily says, " Yes and I also noticed that you imitated my voice and I do not appreciate that!"

Makayla laughs and says, " Don't blame me, blame Mikey! He's the one who started it in the first place and got me hooked on it!"

Master Splinter shouted, "Michelangelo!" Michelangelo walked up the stairs and said, " Oh hey what's up?"

Master Splinter says, " Don't hey what's up me Michelangelo. Your sister told me that you were the one that started imitating my voice behind my back in the first place and got her started on it too. Now is this true or not?"

Michelangelo nervously says, " Uh yeah it's true Sensei."

Master Splinter says, " Why Michelangelo?"

Michelangelo says, " Cause I thought it was funny."

Master Splinter says, " Well I do not think it is funny, so stop doing it please. Now I'm going back to my meditation." Master Splinter walked back downstairs and went back to his room.

Michelangelo says, " What the shell sis? You just ratted me out."

Makayla laughs and says, " I'm sorry Mikey I had to! He was already mad enough!"

Bernadette laughs and says, " Omfg I'm about to have a laughing seizure!"

Makayla laughs and says, "Bernadette shut up!"

Raphael shouted, " Why don'tcha all shut up!"

Bernadette shouted, " Leave us alone d***head!"

Raphael shouted, " Who are ya callin' a d***head ya bad a** b****?!"

Bernadette shouted, " Just forget it! Shut up!" Raphael groaned and walked away.

Rachel says, " Hey you guys you what would be really fun?"

Makayla says, " What is it Rachel?"

Rachel says, " I was thinking we could have a rooftop party and invite all of our friends."

Makayla says, " I love the way you think Rachel."

Julia says, " Yeah and I got the perfect place for it."

Makayla says, " Where Julia?"

Julia says, " The rooftop of my aunt Terry's and April's apartment building."

Makayla says, " That's perfect Julia."

Morgan says, " Yeah but what about the enemies? Wouldn't they just try to crash it?"

Makayla says, " Of course they would Morgan because they're bad guys. But come on what's the worst that could happen?"

Blaze says, " We could get attacked by the Foot Clan."

Makayla says, " True."

Bernadette says, " What's that?"

Makayla says, " The Foot Clan is another clan that is the arch enemy of my family Bernadette."

Morgan says, " In other words Bernadette they are a band of ninja assassins led by a notorious dude whose name is Oroku Saki but he's better known as The Shredder."

Makayla says, " Thanks for summing that up Morgan. I was just about to say that."

Bernadette laughs and says, " That's the dumbest name I've ever heard! It sounds like a kitchen utensil!"

Makayla laughs and says, " I know right!"

Blaze says, " Guys? The party?"

Makayla says, " Oh yeah, come on you guys let's go!" Makayla grabbed her ipod and speaker system and the girls headed down the stairs talking and laughing.

Master Splinter says, " Where are you and your friends going my daughter?"

Makayla says, " We're going to Julia's aunt Terry's and April's apartment building to have a party on the rooftop Sensei."

Master Splinter says, " Did you come up with this idea without consulting me first about it Makayla?"

Makayla says, " No that wasn't me that was Rachel."

Master Splinter says, " You do realize that this puts you at great risk for the Foot Clan and our other enemies to attack you."

Makayla says, " Yeah but come on I liked the idea of having a party on the roof."

Master Splinter sighed and said, "Alright if this is really what you and your friends want to do then your brothers and I are coming with you to keep a constant visual on this party. Julia's aunt Terry and April and Casey shall be there as well to make sure nothing happens."

Makayla says, " Alright deal." On the rooftop of Aunt Terry's and April's apartment building the party was kicking off. Makayla and her friends were talking, laughing, singing and dancing wildly all over the rooftop. Raphael got into a heated argument with Bernadette.

Raphael shouted, " Who da shell do ya think ya are?!"

Bernadette shouted, " Bernadette Westbrook ya d***head!"

Raphael shouted, " Who are ya callin' a d***head?!"

Bernadette shouted, " I'm callin' you that!"

Raphael shouted, " Shut up!"

Bernadette shouted, " You shut up!"

Raphael shouted, " What da shell is wrong with ya Bernadette?! Now yer just talkin' like a pretty bad a** b****!"

Bernadette shouted, " Oh so you think I'm pretty?!"

Raphael shouted, " Dat's what I said!"

Bernadette shouted, " Ok well here's what I think of you! You're a bad a** stud!"

Raphael shouted, " What da shell does dat mean?!"

Bernadette shouted, " It means I like you!"

Raphael shouted, " And here's what I say to dat! I like ya too!" The two of them stared at each other for a moment gazing into each other's eyes.

Bernadette shouted, " Ya wanna kiss me?!"

Raphael shouted, " Ya bet yer shell I do!" Raphael and Bernadette grabbed onto each other and kissed each other in front of everybody. Makayla stared at them with a confused look on her face.

Master Splinter says, " Raphael what is going on here?"

Raphael says, " Whatzit look like Sensei?!" Raphael and Bernadette continued kissing each other.

Julia exclaimed, " Yay! Raph and Bernadette!" Everyone gave them a round of applause. The anger and rage that had been burning inside of Raphael before had since been replaced by the fire of love that now burned with blazing glory inside of his heart. It was a feeling that he never thought that he would ever feel in his entire life because of what he was. He now understood how two of his brothers felt when they both found love and he hoped that this feeling inside of him would never go away. Bernadette had the exact same feeling inside of her too. It was clear to everyone that Raphael and Bernadette were now in love with each other. The song that was playing was Pocketful of Sunshine by Ameritz Karaoke Entertainment.

Blaze excitedly screamed, " Best party ever!"

Rachel excitedly screamed, " Yeah I'll say!"

Morgan excitedly screamed, "What's up New York City!" Leo Lemonselly stood on the edge of the rooftop and shouted, " NYC 2003!" Everyone screamed with excitement. But what nobody realized was that they were being watched from a distance away. The Foot Clan was planning to ambush them. Karai was kneeling at the edge of a rooftop aiming a bow and arrow at Julia's aunt Terry ready to fire it at her. She released the arrow firing it into the back of Aunt Terry's shoulderblade. Aunt Terry screamed bloody murder as she fell to her knees.

Master Splinter shouted, " Terry are you alright?!"

Julia screamed, " Aunt Terry!"

Blaze screamed, " It's an ambush!"

Morgan screamed, " Run for your lives!" The teens screamed and scattered every which way as the Foot Clan attacked them. The 4 turtle brothers withdrew their weapons and attacked their enemies. Makayla joined in the fight as well as Master Splinter, April and Casey. Morgan kicked her shoe at one of the foot soldiers but she quickly found herself surrounded.

Morgan screamed, " Makayla help!"

Makayla screamed, " Morgan!" and fought her way toward her best friend. But just before she could reach her she was suddenly kicked in the face by Karai.

Karai says, " Prepare to die Makayla!"

Makayla shouted, " I don't think so Karai! You ain't gonna touch me, my family, my friends, my boyfriend, and my best friend!" and kicked Karai in the face. Karai pinned her katana sword against Makayla's neck and said, " I would have to disagree with that! Goodbye Makayla!" But before Karai could do anything Morgan came running at her with full force shouting, " Leave my best friend alone Karai!" before punching her square in jaw making her release her grip on Makayla. Before Morgan could even react Karai lashed out at her and Master Splinter shouted, "Morgan Shroeder get out of here now before you get hurt!"

Morgan shouted, " I ain't leaving you guys!"

Makayla shouted, " Morgan just do what my father said and get out of here! You're gonna get hurt!"

Morgan shouted, " Makayla there's no way in shell I'm leaving you behind! We're best friends!"

Makayla shouted, " Morgan listen to me! You're gonna get hurt! Get out of here!" Morgan reluctantly ran away with the others. 15 minutes later Max showed up in his stunt plane firing bullets at the foot soldiers.

Max shouted, " Eat this Foot Clan!"

Makayla shouted, " What the shell are you doing Wolowitz?!"

Max shouted, " I'm saving your shells Makayla!" Max turned on the radio and the AirWolf theme song began to play. The foot soldiers tried to attack Max's stunt plane but they were no match for it. Max shot them all down with his plane. But unfortunately things got more challenging. Shredder made his presence known and attacked them. 4 nights later when everyone in the Hamato family except for Donatello(who was in his lab working on experiments) was asleep Makayla awoke to a noise coming from downstairs. She grabbed her baseball bat that her best friend Morgan had given her and quietly stepped out of her room. She walked down the stairs holding the bat up in her hand as she then continued walking around the lair listening for the noise she heard. Periodically she could feel Klunk rubbing his fur up against her legs as he was walking around in the darkness of the lair. Makayla headed toward the kitchen while still holding the bat in her hand. As she entered the dark kitchen she bumped into someone making her freak out and swing her bat around repeatedly hitting whoever it was she bumped into. As girly screams eruppted Donatello came out of his lab and walked toward the kitchen confusely saying, " What the shell?!" The girly screams continued when Donatello flipped on the light. Donatello saw that it was his sister and Matteron.

Donatello confusely says, "Matteron?!" Makayla had her arms twisted around her friend Matteron's body while still holding the baseball bat in her hand.

Matteron screamed, " Don't kill me!"

Makayla let go of her friend and panically said, "Matteron Rechezza Smith what are you doing?!"

Matteron panically says, " I don't know Makayla Lynn Hamato!"

Makayla panically says, " Matteron you scared the shell out of me!"

Matteron panically says, " Well you scared the shell out of me when you hit me repeatedly with a baseball bat!"

Donatello says, " Ok what's going on here?! Matteron what the shell are you even doing here?! It's after midnight!"

Matteron panically says, " I have no clue Donatello!"

Donatello says, " Well are you confused or something?!"

Matteron panically says, " I told you Donny I don't have a clue of what's going on?!" Donatello noticed something on the side of Matteron's forehead.

Donatello says, " Hold on one second. Let me see your head."

Matteron confusely said, " Ok." and walked over to Donatello. Donatello touched his hand to the side of her head and when he pulled it away he saw blood on his fingers.

Donatello shockingly says, " What the shell?! You're bleeding Matteron! Are you ok?!"

Matteron says, " Yeah I'm fine Donny and oh god I feel sleepy again." She began to start dozing off again but Donatello worriedly said, "Oh no no no don't fall asleep on me right now!"

Matteron says, " You said this would happen no matter what I did!"

Donatello worriedly says, " Yeah I know I said that but this time I really don't want it to happen!"

Makayla says, " Donatello what are you freaking out about?!"

Donatello worriedly says, " Makayla are you not seeing and comprehending what's going on?! Matteron is narcoleptic and she has a serious injury to her head! If she falls asleep she could develop an aneurysm and die!"

Matteron shockingly says, " What?! I don't want to die! What am I supposed to do?!"

Donatello worriedly says, " You are coming with me to my lab because I need to give you a shot of adrenaline! You are gonna have to stay awake for at least 2 hours!"

Matteron shockingly says, "Donatello this is absolutely ridiculous!"

Donatello worriedly says, " Matteron just shut up for a second and come with me!" He dragged her into his lab and had her sit in a chair while he grabbed the syringe and needle with the adrenaline serim in it. Matteron held out her arm and said, " Ok let's get this over with."

Donatello says, " This doesn't go in your arm."

Matteron says, " Well where the shell does it go then?" Donatello pointed to the dead center of Matteron's chest and said, " Right there."

Matteron shockingly says, " Are you freaking kidding me?!"

Donatello says, " No Matteron I'm serious."

Matteron shockingly says, " Oh god this going to be so painful!"

Donatello says, " It will only hurt for a second."

Matteron says, " Alright let's get this over with." The second Donatello injected the needle Matteron screamed in pain and dug her fingers into the sides of the chair. Then she fell out of the chair and onto the floor gritting her teeth together.

Donatello says, " Are you ok?"

Matteron says, " Yeah I'm fine Donny." Donatello held his hand out to her to help her up off the floor.

Donatello says, " How are you feeling?"

Matteron says, " Honestly I'm feeling really energetic right now!"

Donatello says, " Good. Hopefully this will keep you awake for at least 2 hours."

Matteron shouted, " Hey Makayla get in here!"

Donatello says, " Matteron no shouting. It's after midnight."

Matteron says, " Oh yeah I forgot. Sorry Donny."

Donatello says, " That's ok." Makayla walked into her brother's lab and said, " What is it Matteron?"

Matteron says, " I was thinking you and I should hang out with each other for the next 2 hours."

Makayla says, " I was thinking the same thing." Makayla then looked at her brother and asked, " Is it ok if I hang out with my friend for a little while in here Donny."

Donatello says, " Sure just as long as you guys don't get in the way and make too much noise."

Makayla says, " Would it be ok if we played a little music in here? We're not gonna play it too loud."

Donatello says, " Sure what the heck. Go ahead."

Makayla says, " Ok I'm going to get my ipod." But when she got to the door she saw Master Splinter walking toward the lab to check on Donatello.

Makayla whispered, " Oh shell it's Master Splinter! He's coming in here!"

Matteron whispered, " Well don't just stand there! We need to hide Makayla!"

Makayla whispered, " Right Matteron! Donny where's the best place to hide in here to where Master Splinter can't sense our presence?!"

Donatello whispered, " The crawl space in the corner over there!"

Makayla whispered, " Perfect! Come on Matteron let's go!" The 2 girls climbed into the crawl space just as Master Splinter walked in.

Master Splinter says, " Donatello what are you still doing awake my son?"

Donatello says, " I was finishing up a project."

Master Splinter says, " Well you should consider going to sleep very soon. It is very late."

Donatello says, " I will in a little bit. I just have to finish a few more things."

Master Splinter says, " Well alright. I am going back to bed now. Good night my son."

Donatello says, " Good night Sensei." Master Splinter walked out and went back to his room. Makayla poked her head out of the crawl space and said, " Is he gone Donny?"

Donatello says, " Yeah he's gone Makayla. You can come out now." The girls climbed out of the crawl space and Matteron said, " That was a close one."

Makayla says, " Yeah now I'm gonna get my ipod."

Matteron says, " Wait don't you need a lookout?"

Makayla says, " Good call. Follow me." Matteron followed Makayla out into the living room.

Makayla says, " Ok Matteron I want you to stand at the end of the hallway and keep a lookout for my father in case he decides to come back out of his room for some reason while I run upstairs to my room to grab my ipod."

Matteron says, " Ok and what's the cue if I see him coming?"

Makayla says, " Just imitate his voice saying my full name. Got it?"

Matteron says, " Got it."

Makayla says, " Ok here goes nothing. 3, 2, 1." Makayla quietly bolted up the stairs to her room, grabbed her ipod, quietly shut the door behind her and quietly ran back downstairs to her friend.

Makayla says, " Any sign of my father?"

Matteron says, " Nope."

Makayla says, " Yes! I did it!" The girls walked back into Donatello's lab shutting the door behind them. Makayla plugged her ipod into one of Donatello's desk speakers and turned the music on to a quiet, normal level. The song that was playing was Down Under Devils' Givin' the Dog a Bone. The girls began to dance around acting silly with each other while Donatello continued to work on his laptop. A few times he tapped his foot to the beat of the music coming from his sister's ipod as he repeatedly pressed his fingers on his laptop keyboard. As the girls danced around the power suddenly went out which ceased the music.

Makayla confusely says, " Hey what the shell just happened?!"

Matteron confusely says, " Yeah what gives?!"

Donatello says, " The power's out."

Makayla complained, " Aw man!"

Matteron complained, " Stupid DTE Energy!"

Makayla says, " Now what do we do?"

Donatello says, " Well there's not much we can do except wait. In meantime I guess we can just sit here and talk."

Makayla says, " Great idea Donny."

Matteron says, " So we're just gonna sit here in the dark and talk?"

Donatello says, " Pretty much Matteron because that's all we can do during a power outage." As the three of them sat in the dark talking to each other Matteron felt something brush up against her. She screamed a little.

Makayla worriedly says, " What is it Matteron?!"

Matteron panically says, "Something just brushed up against me."

Makayla says, " Matteron that's just our cat Klunk." Klunk let out a meow and continued rubbing his fur against her purring.

Matteron says, " Oh sorry Klunk. I didn't know that was you." She began to pet him as he continued purring.

Makayla says, " Hey Donny you up for a challenge?"

Donatello says, " What is it Makayla?"

Makayla says, " I challenge you to a one on one sparring session."

Donatello confusely says, " In the dark sis?!"

Makayla says, " That's what I said bro."

Donatello shockingly says, " Are you crazy Makayla?! What if we get hurt?!"

Makayla says, " Yo genius we're ninjas. We get hurt all the time. So are we gonna do this or not or are you just saying this because you know you're gonna get your shell kicked?"

Donatello says, " We'll see about that. It's on Makayla." Donatello took out his bo staff and stood in a fighting position. For some reason he was more than willing to show his sister a thing or two even if it was in the dark.

Makayla says, " Matteron move out of the way for a second." Matteron moved out of the way.

Makayla says, " Alright techno geek it's on!" Since there was no music Makayla improvised by singing the words to Dance Like Yo Daddy by Meghan Trainor as she started attacking her brother. Donatello landed a few hits on his sister as well. Despite the fact that the power was out the two of them never missed a single hit on each other.

Donatello says, " Hey this is actually really cool."

Makayla says, " Yeah I know but focus Einstein. Master Splinter says a true ninja never loses focus."

Matteron laughs and says, " That's so true!"

Donatello says, " Matteron shut up!" But before he knew what hit him Makayla kicked him in the shell bringing his attention spand back into focus. Donatello swung his bo staff at Makayla and said, " Ow I wasn't ready for that!" Makayla uppercutted him in the jaw and roundhouse kicked him saying, " Well as Leo would always say be ready for anything!" She continued singing as she went into a frensy of attacks on her brother. The two of them were begining to enjoy it. Donatello felt that he found a new way to bond with his sister. Makayla felt the same way about it.

Donatello says, " I can't believe how fun this is!" as he kicked his sister.

Makayla says, " I know we should do this every time the power goes out."

Donatello says, " Agreed." The two continued to spar with each other for the duration of the power outage.

Makayla says, " Take that DTE Energy!" The next day when the power was restored Raphael said, "What da shell happened to ya two?!"

Makayla laughs and says, " It's nothing Raph! Don't worry about it!"

Master Splinter angrily says, " I want an explaination my daughter! Why is Matteron here and why do you and Donatello look like you have hurt yourselves?!"

Makayla scratches the back of her head and nervously says, " It's a funny story Sensei. You see Matteron showed up unexpectedly at midnight last night and she hurt herself so Donny gave her some adrenaline to keep her awake for at least 2 hours. But the reason why Donny and I look like we hurt ourselves is because while we were hanging out in the lab the power went out so Donny and I decided to have a one on one sparring session with each other."

Raphael shockingly says, " What?! Ya two were sparring against each other during a power outage?!"

Donatello says, " Yeah Raph."

Master Splinter shouted, "Donatello!"

Donatello says, " What?! Don't look at me! It was Makayla's idea!"

Master Splinter shouted, " Makayla Lynn Hamato do you know how dangerous that is?! You and Donatello could have seriously hurt yourselves!"

Makayla says, " Yeah I know but it was fun!"

Master Splinter angrily says, " Well whether if it was fun or not please do not do it again my daughter! I do not wish you two to receive broken bones because of this! Am I clear?!"

Makayla says, " Yes Sensei."

Master Splinter says, " Good."
