So trying to learn not to dilly-dally too long with set up since this is a comedy and comedy is supposed to move to be effective I really don't need chapters and chapters of Buttercup trying to convince her Dad to let her go on this adventure
What proceeded was not pleasant for the Turtles, several minutes of Buttercup arguing with her Dad in-between her human sounding voice moments of sheer anger came out as pig squeals which is one of the most unpleasant sounds to ever hear up close...Had the Turtles covering their ears multiple times!
But from what they heard when they weren't covering their ears...Buttercup was protesting that the Turtles she was with weren't dangerous and that one of the reasons she was out of shape was because in-addition to being cooped up in the house all the time, she was bored and lonely because she didn't have any real friends so her only outlets were making art and...Food.
"Look…" Buttercup finally sighed "...This turtle I've been talking to, Mikey he's on the Justice Force Reserves so surely that means he's a good guy! And he and his brothers are like...Ninjas so I think I'll be safe with them...I need to get out Dad! I'm wasting away from boredom! These Turtles and I...We want to go on a small road trip…"
"A road trip to where?" Dr. Fleshier
"New Jersey." Buttercup quickly said an answer that was technically correct but she didn't specify WHERE specifically in New Jersey they were going just about anywhere else her Dad most likely wouldn't have had a problem with...Even Atlantic City! But if she had said Gotham City...America's cesspit Oh no! Her Dad would have gone into the sewers himself to take her back home!"
"All right…" Dr. Fleshier said "...I never even thought about the fact there might be other intelligent mutant animals in the world but I do remember all those stories about giant turtles roaming around the sewers...That said they are four teenage boys! And if they so much as think of hitting on you…"
"Ewww! Dad!" Buttercup stuck out her tongue "They're reptiles and they live in the sewers! Kissing them would probably result in salmonella!"
Raph hit the kitchen table with his fist as he didn't appreciate that assumption, But Don waved his hand to try to calm his brother down.
"She doesn't know any better…" Don said trying to sooth Raph's anger "...She's lived the life of a pampered house pet all her life and doesn't get out much."
After that Buttercup hung up
"OK…" Buttercup said "...Dad said I can go on a road trip with you but first…"
She handed Don her cell phone
"I need you to remove the tracking device from my phone...Dad can't know we're going to Gotham."
Don exhaled sharply "I really hate having to do that to you Dad…" He said "...I'll remove it in such a way that it can be reinstalled when we're done."
So what do you know? One of those Bot Farms left one of their begging for money reviews on this story which proves they don't actually read the stories despite what they're fawning reviews claim
