The Travelers Wish (The Wattys 2016)

Chapter 9

Michelangelo cautiously put my arm around his shoulder and helped me out of the small neat room.

I realized it must have been Donatello's.

he was the neatest of his brothers.

We walked through a small hall past 3 other bedrooms, all part of the walls, in the abandoned subway station they call "the lair."

Yupp, I was right total pigsties.

I thought to myself as I looked at the messes.

Yeah well there teenage boys, what do you expect?

We were all silent, until we reached the living room and Mikey set me Down on a beat up old orange couch.

"Donnie stay with her, Mikey go get some pizzas and no sardines this time, I'm going to wake master splinter and explain this to him,

and Raph..." He hesitated

"Do what is is you normally do."

With the mention of pizza Michelangelo Grabbed his Skateboard and raced for the exit.

Leonardo headed off towards splinters room.

A beautifully peaceful looking room with, beautiful Japanese paper walls.

Raphael Plopped down on the couch next to my feet, and Donatello sat in the large equally beat up chair that was next to my side of the couch.

"Great" I said sarcastically "watchdogs"

Raphael was about to say something when I cut him off.

"He doesn't trust me, and any money Raphael doesn't trust me either, but don't worry I understand, some strangely mysterious and totally bodacious babe shows up, claiming she's from another version of earth, and she knows everything about you all and even things you don't.

Yeah,I wouldn't trust me either."

Raph grinned.

Yay I got a grin out of him!

"Bodacious?" He chuckled "stuck in the 70s much, you've said it twice already?"

"Haha no, it's just something Michelangelo used to say."

"For as long as Iv known my brother Iv never heard him say that, ever."

Donatello said suspiciously.

I shook my head.

"Oh no, not this Michelangelo, classic Mikey from another parallel, he was sort of a surfer dude. Why do you think he's better then all of you combined on a skateboard, he was born to surf!"

"So your telling me there are different versions of us on other parallel earths and you watch all of them on this amazing version of earth of yours?"

Raph asked with just a hint of "do you expect me to believe this dumb ass shit" in his voice.

I leaned back and crossed my arms.

Feeling the ripped orange leather of the armrest on my back.

I shrugged

"Pretty much"

The paper door of Master Splinters room slid open.

The giant Mutated rat ninja master that these turtles call "father" stepped out with Leonardo trailing right behind.

Even though my body hurt I stood up pressed my hands together and bowed to him.

A traditional sign of respect would hopefully get me on his good side.
