RaphyH's New Dream

Chapter Two: The Mutant

"By Darwin's beard. What is that thing?" Donnie asks, clearly this science genius has never seen something like this before.
"Um, not to be a complete killjoy, but I'm pretty sure it's just a rat. Maybe like a rat that stepped in some mutagen, but it definitely just a rat." I say sarcastically, not enjoying this little field trip that I was forced to go on. "Can't we just take it with us and you can examine it for all its worth back at the lair?" I don't wait for a reply, I start making my way back to the lair.
To my room.
To my journal.
To my secret.
The guys finally make it back with a rat in tow. I hear Mikey complain about being hungry and the plans to order pizza. I start to hear footsteps coming towards my room. It's a good thing I decided to barricade my door with the heaviest objects in my room, including my bed which had a very handsome turtle on it.
I can hear the breathing through the door. "Can I help you?!" I shout, obviously annoyed.
"I'm sure you could have guessed, Mikey ordered a pizza. It'll be here shortly. If you're not out here when it gets here, I can't promise there will be any left." Leo informs me.
"Uh, thanks. I'll be out." Why can't I have more than 10 minutes to myself? I just want to draw in this damn journal. That's all.

"P to the I to the double Z -A is here!" Sings Mikey as he jumps over the back of the couch, missing my head by near centimetres. "Woah, sorry dude." He manages to spit out while simultaneously choking down a piece of pizza. He hands me the box, which already has 3 pieces missing from it. I grab two, eat one of them and excuse myself. I lie to them, saying I have a headache and that I'm turning in for the night.
