Cleopatra: The new ninja

Chapter 6

Cleo walked into the room, completely focused.

Mikey looked up at her. "You okay? You look kind of spacey."

Okay, maybe not so focused.

"Oh." She shook her head, trying to clear it. This time she was successful. "I was, um, just thinking of how thoughtful you were when you gave me this bandana!" she said, grabbing the second top thing she was thinking about. "Thank you so much!"

Mikey grinned. "It was nothing. April went up in a disguise, and found the perfect cloth. The hardest thing was making it the perfect bandana. I kept throwing it out and starting over. April had to go up once or twice and get me new cloth."

"Ha!" Said Donnie said abruptly from behind them, making them both jump. "Once or twice? You are so lucky that April is patient! She went up, at least, ten times!"

Cleo looked over to Mikey. "Ten times?"

Mikey shrugged. "Well, I had to make it perfect."

"That is so sweet..." Cleo looked him over in a new respect.

"I got a new game for us!" Mikey said, hiding something behind his back.

"Oh! Which one of the millions of games out there did you get?"

"You gotta guess!"

"Okay, um... Cooking Mama Cook off?"

"...Why would I get that?"

"Because I'm terrible at cooking, it's the only game you'd win."

Mikey stuck his tongue out at her. "No, it is not Cooking Mama Cook off."

"Okay...Um... Kirby Air Ride?"

"Nope. You're never going to guess."

"Hm...Oh! I know! I know! You got Super Smash Bros Melee!"

"How did you know?"

Cleo pointed at the floor where the games had fallen out of Mikey's hands.

"Aw, man!"

Cleo bent down and grabbed the game and went over to the Gamecube and put the game in.

"You would've been better with Cooking Mama's Cook off."

The next morning

Cleo was napping on the couch, trying to sleep in.

"CLEO!"

She was interrupted by Mikey. Aren't turtles supposed to be quiet? she thought angrily.

She pulled the covers over her head, trying to hide from the bouncing turtle.

He jumped on the couch, next to her.

"Do you want to go on patrol with us?"

That woke Cleo right up. She sat up, and looked incredulously at Mikey.

"You mean up there?" She said, pointing up.

"Yup."

"...Where the KRAANG are?"

"Uh-huh."

"After the fiasco of me almost being captured by them?"

"Exactly."

"You know me so well." Said Cleo, giving him a one armed squeeze.

Mikey blushed.

Mikey was beginning to regret asking Cleo to patrol. She kept jumping at every sound.
