The Travelers Wish (The Wattys 2016)

Chapter 34

I laughed as captain Ryan slapped his overly excited first mate.

We were about 20 minutes into our second episode, and each episode at least twice, that nervous little man would get slapped, and each time I would laugh.

Man it's sad, what I find funny.

A frightened yelp cried out from down the hall.

My gut told me it was Michelangelo

He has a very distinct slightly "dumb cheerleader in a horror movie" type scream.

I immediately jumped off the couch and high tailed down the hallway, passing Donatello and Raphael, who were standing sleepily at their doors, confused and yawning.

I pushed his door open, with Leonardo right behind me.

"I'm ok guys , I'm fine, I just woke up and rubbed my eyes and saw these, and it scared the shell out of me."

He explained, holding out his hands, obviously trying to relax himself.

Michelangelo's breathing was heavy, he sat up and put his head in his hands.

"Ugh this is gonna take some getting used to..."

"Everything ok?"

Donnie peeped his head through the door.

"Yeah everything's fine."

I answered quickly.

"Oh did whittle Mikey have a big scary nightmare?"

Taunted Raphael.

I gave him a glare.

"What?!"

He smirked innocently, putting his hands up.

"It was a joke, you do know what a joke is, right Traveler?"

I shook my head.

"I'm glad that you guys are all up, now I can take you up for a night on the town, were going to have a early dinner and go see a circus."

I told them, giddy with excitement!

"No way!?"

Asked Leo in excited disbelief!

"Awesome."

Raphael nodded at me, obviously trying to be cool, and contained.

"Dinner, like above ground, in one of those places where the humans go, humans that can actually see, and are not blind?

And their gonna see us, and we won't have to hide in the shadows?!?

Mikey's eyes bright with anticipation!

"Yes Mikey, we are going inside a restaurant."

I smiled at his adorable rambling.

"That sounds cool and all, but we should really ask master Splinter first."

Warned Donatello.

"Done and done."

I shot him my usual know it all grin.

"He gave me absolute control over your 'human experience' as he put it, since it was I who made you this way. I can take you wherever I want, as long as we stay out of trouble, don't cause any scenes,"

I looked to Raphael for that one.

"And always keep our shell cells with us."

"Well it looks like she's the boss, ....Boss."
