🌸 Chapter 19: Hot Soup ~ The Game🌸

Vanessa's P.O.V

After a few days of visiting April in practicing what to say to my parents, I was nervous but also trying to build the courage to see them. But one day when I came home, I learned that Donnie built a robot to clean for them, as it was playing favorite and the boys messing up his program. Needless to say, they learned their lesson after that. The next few days were a bit boring till the boys were watching a commercial ad of Hot Soup video game, I was a bit interest in video games but this one made me question it.

Vanessa: Huh, what a game. Still wondering if it even exist
Mikey: We gotta get it! We gotta get it!! Accessing worldwide inter-tubes. Hmm. Lou Jitsu nunchucks, Lou Jitsu sunglasses
Vanessa: Maybe it was just a fake-
Mikey: Oh!! Here it is. Lou Jitsu's "Hot Soup: The Game." Montes Auction House. Buy it now!! CLICK!!

Just like that, Mikey bought it and it was now sold to us, all we had to do now was pick it up.

Mikey: Oh, baby! We are the proud owners of one very old mint-condition copy of "Hot Soup: The Game"!
Raph: Wait a minute, you bought it at an auction house? How are we gonna pick it up with, uh, this whole situation?
Mikey: That's not your problem, 'cause I'm gonna go get it! By myself
Raph: What? By yourself? Are you out of your ooze-twisted mind?
Vanessa: Has this ever happened before?
Donnie: Too many times
Mikey: I'm not a baby, Raph. I got the "squills," the moves, the ninja realness! I'm ready for my first solo mission
Raph: Of course you are- in seven to ten years. Right now, it's just too dangerous
Vanessa: Correction, everyday is too dangerous
Leo: I say we let him go, Raph. You went out on your own when you were his age
Raph: Yeah, but when I was his age, I was two years older
Leo: What is up with your math?
Raph: Donnie, would you please talk some sense into these guys?

We all turned to see Donnie minding his own business on his phone, not a care in the world of what we were talking about.

Donnie: Hmm? Yeah, yeah, whatever Leo said is probably right
Vanessa: Pfftt [giggles]
Mikey: [hugs Donnie] Thanks for believing in me, Donnie
Vanessa: [sigh] How about this Raph, why don't I go with Mikey
Mikey: What?!
Vanessa: Hold it!! Let me finish. I go with Mikey and "supervise" his solo mission, if anything goes wrong I'll dial you but I'll keep my distance and make sure Mikey is completing the solo mission. Sound fair?
Raph: But-
Leo: Seems fair enough
Donnie: Yeah yeah, I agree
Mikey: Leo, I love you. And Nessa, I appreciate you believing in me
Vanessa: I'll keep my distance and supervise
Mikey: As for you, Raph, you get last game!! [constantly poking Raph and walking away] [poke Raph again] Mikey out!

I followed Mikey to the auction house and followed him roof to roof all the way to our destination, it was pretty silly to watch Mikey go all incognito and be discreet about it in his own way. Before long, we made it to the auction house and I patted Mikey's head and smiled.

Vanessa: You go ahead and get the game, I'll wait outside. Call me if things go south, got it?
Mikey: You got it, Nessa

I watched from the roof as Mikey got to work and went to open the glass roof as he swooped into the auction house, in the meantime I got to work in deciding how I should proceed to tell my parents about me being a mutant.

Vanessa: Okay, how should I do it. How about "Hey mom and dad, I know it's been so long that I disappeared but I have a logical reason for vanishing like that, and well..." Ugh! No~ how about "Hey guys, I'm sorry for vanishing like that but I have an explanation for it and it's gonna sound crazy but..." Ugh, no~ I can't say that...
???: FOOT CLAN~!!!
Vanessa: Huh?
