Opposites

Chapter 2

Donnie wakes to the sound of arguing outside his door and rolls his eyes, instantly knowing the sound of it anywhere. He gets up and puts his mask on and securing his staff to his back before heading out.

When he opens his door, the yelling got louder in an instant.

"You ACCIDENTALLY ripped my comic book?! Oh that's rich!" Raph's voice yelled sarcastically.

"Not my fault paper is so thin! Besides! YOU LET ME BORROW IT!" Megan's voice hissed back.

"I didn't tell you to RIP IT!"

"I'm really TEMPTED TO NOW! Get a grip you can HARDLY see the rip!"

"But it's a LIMITED EDITION THAT NO ONE EVER SEES ANYMORE!"

"Aww poor baby Raph! What is he gonna do without his STUPID COMIC BOOK?!"

"You wanna go?!"

"You don't have the guts to HIT A GIRL!"

"NO ONE'S hitting ANYONE!" Leo snapped as he looked up from the TV.

Donnie stepped out of nowhere and stood between Megan and Raph. Raph had bags under his eyes and Megan had a bed head. Both woke up on the wrong side of the bed apparently.

"So Raph." Donnie frowned. "Do you want to lose your privilege to the Shell Raiser?"

Raph growled, clutching his fists and then stomping towards his room, slamming the door behind him.

"Humph." Megan crossed her arms and looked away from Donnie. "I didn't need your help."

"No," Donnie simply smiled. "But it's fun to push around Raph like that."

Megan smirked and playfully pushed her turtle friend. "Morning by the way."

"Morning." He smiled happily, showing off the gap in his teeth.

"So!" Megan rubs her hands together. "What's the agenda for today?"

"Besides your lessons..." Donnie gave her 'the look'.

The red head rolls her eyes. "Yeah yeah. BESIDES that."

Leo looks up from the couch. "Well, we might go mutagen hunting later but for now, nothing."

"Sweet!" Megan smirked. "Can I come?"

"Uh, how 'bout no." Leo rolled his eyes.

"Awww." Megan slumps her shoulders and poked her bottom lip out to pout.

"Sorry Megs." Donnie nudged her softly as he passes her. "You're going to need ninjutsu training to come along."

Megan crosses her arms and shoots Donnie a glare full of daggers. "I know how to throw a punch, Donatello." she said as-a-matter-of-factly.

Donnie laughs. "You need more than that, Rosie."

Megan growls slightly with only a small smile on her face. Donnie, well ALL the turtles continue to tease her about how she blushes REALLY easily. And when she does blush, it's as red as her hair and as dark as Raph's mask. That's how Don came up with the name, Rosie. And it barely ticks Megan off, since she prefers that nickname more than others.

Megan huffs angrily. "Fine! I'll train!"

Then she stomps into the dojo and Donnie nervously watches her, hoping he didn't just REALLY piss off his best friend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh come on! Seriously?" Megan yelled at the TV.

"What's wrong?" Leo came into the room after a short meditation session.

"These commercial chicks!" Megan complained as she sat in front of the TV. "Their SO confident and that's what makes them stupid, slutty, ridiculous looking Barbie Babes! ESPECIALLY the Back-To-School commercials with the perfect skin-tone teenagers with perfect, slick hair."

"Well, I think they're HOT!" Mikey grinned childishly as he lay in front of the TV beside Megan.

Raph, who was sitting on the couch behind them, rolled his eyes. "Is all you do is complain, Megatron?"

Megan frowns and spins back around to continue watching TV. It only made Raph grin.

"Yeah I thought so."

"Bully." Mikey stuck his tongue out at Raph.

"Keep doing that," Raph glared at his little brother. "And I'll CUT that tongue off!"

Instantly, Mikey sticks his tongue back in his mouth. Leo moans and pinches the bridge of his nose/beak.

"Can you guys go to bed earlier tonight?"

"I'll do that when the guest room is sprayed and the spiders are gone." Megan muttered. "Until then, I'm staying on the uncomfortable couch where I can NEVER sleep."

Raph scoffed. "Wimpy scardey-cat."

Megan turns back to glare at him. "Alright. I have a pet cockroach named Gerdy JUST for this reason. Shall I go get him?"

For once in his life, Raph actually believed her poker-face and immediately shuts up, making Leo laugh.

"Can't Donnie come up with a forever-keep-the-bugs-away repellent?" Mikey asked, his eyes glued to the TV.

Megan shrugs. "Don't know. I'll ask him."

Megan stood up and walked out and into the lab, knocking on the door.

"Yo Don! Question...?"

She noticed Donnie slumped over his lab table, frowning with sad eyes as he stared down at the T-Phone in his three-fingered hand. Megan walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Don?" she asked.

He didn't respond. He was just staring at the T-Phone in his hand. Gently, Megan took it from him and read the texts, her comforting hand never leaving his shoulder.

To: April
From: Donnie
'Hey April! Wanna hang out tonight?'
<Sent>

To: Donnie
From: April
'Can't. I'm on a date with Casey. But thanks for the offer, Donnie:) I'll see you later!'
<Sent>

Megan sighs and sets the T-Phone aside, out of Donnie's reach. "Donnie...just forget about it, okay? April only ever saw you as a friend, nothing more. Your brothers tried to tell you-!"

"I'm fine."

Megan cocks an eyebrow at him as he spins around in his chair, showing her a fake smile. "So, what was that question you wanted to ask?"

Megan just stands there for a moment, staring awkwardly at his lying little face and shakes her head. "...Nothing."

She spins around and leaves the lab, knowing full well Donnie will go back to sulking once she left. She stomps towards the lair exit and when she passes by the other turtles watching TV, they look up at her.

"Meggy?" Mikey perked up. "Did you ask Donnie about that bug repellent?"

"No." Was all she said. "I'm going to grab something to eat." She smiles and waves. "See ya all later!" And then she was gone.
