Childhood Heroes Ch5
By Leonardosgirl80
Mike looks up from his comic book while Don stares at him.
“Don why are you staring at me and where’d Leo
and Raph go?”
Don looks at his younger brother.
“They went to meet Jessie and Alyssa. You wouldn’t
have to ask if your head wasn’t stuck in your comic book like usual.”
Mike looks.
“I like my comic books. Besides I’m tired of
hearing you and Raph fighting. We all know you’re straight even though your girl lives far away on another planet.”
Don sighs.
“Yea I know it really stinks. So what’s the
deal with you and Serena? I mean last night you met her at 7:30pm and you came home at 1am. Mind explaining you never stay silent when we talk about girls.”
Mike sighs and puts his comic book down.
“Don last night was some night. I never felt so refreshed
in all my years.”
Don looks puzzled.
“Ok what happened? Spill Mikey.”
He looks.
“I got by her apartment around 7:20pm. We watched a movie in her room because the DVD player
in the living room was busted. I was lying on her bed and she came down kissing me like she usually does.”
Don sighs.
“Ok so you’re freaking out because you two made
out on her bed?”
Mike laughs.
“No shell for brains I’m not done explaining
now shush and listen.”
Don sips his soda and stays quiet.
“Ok Mike continue I’m listening.”
He takes a deep breath and finishes.
“Something came over me and we went somewhere no mutant
turtle and a human could possibly imagine. I wake up at 12:30am and feel her soft skin against mine. I have no idea how we got there but man it was some night I’m still in
shock. That’s why I didn’t say anything while you 3 were talking. I couldn’t even sleep when I came back
I had so much energy and now I’m so tired.”
Don looks at the clock.
“Well then take a nap I’ll get you up when it’s
time to meet Leo, Raph, Alyssa, Jessie, Serena, and Ariel. Just be glad your girl lives on this planet. I haven’t seen
mine in such a long time. Besides she broke up with me because she found someone on her planet again I’m single. I learn
to live with it. Go on I’m going for a walk by dad’s grave.”
Mike watches as Don Exits the lair and sighs. Then he goes
in his room and lies in his bed falling asleep peacefully.
As Don exits he bumps into Ariel.
“Hey Donnie how you doing? Where are you off to isn’t
today the day you see Jana?”
He sighs.
“Ha she broke up with me Ariel again I’m single.
So how you been? Did you hear about Leo and Jessie?”
She scratches her head.
“What about them?”
He smiles.
“Well Jessie and my brother are a couple, Mike has
Serena, Raph has Alyssa and me I have no one like usual.”
Ariel smiles.
“Come on I’ll take you out for a pizza that’ll
cheer you up.”
He looks and smiles.
“Ok cool I can deal with that. Actually I was on my
way to my father’s grave.”
She looks.
“Well then after we get some pizza I’ll go with
you ok Don?”
He looks.
“That’s fine with me Ariel. Don’t you have
to go to work today?”
“Yea but not till 4:30pm; Jessie and Alyssa have to be in by 3:30pm as for Serena and I we have to be in at 4:30pm.”
“So I can see that Mike and Serena are really into
each other. Last night I talked to her and she hung up on me leaving her speaker on. Gee Don I never knew you 4 were capable
of that.”
He laughs.
“Oh we are. We are mutant turtles Ariel meaning our
hormones are like a human man’s we also long for love.”
She laughs.
“Don’t we all?”
They turn the corner and enter the pizza parlor.
“Wow Don look its Keno at the counter today. I’ll
just tell him the usual.”
Don looks.
“Whoa we haven’t seen him in a while. I’m
going to say hi to him.”
Keno looks.
“Hey Donnie wuz happening? Long time no see how’s
everyone doing?”
He smiles.
“We’re all doing fine some better than others
and yourself?”
“Working like usual. So you want the usual pepperoni?”
He looks.
“No make it half pepperoni and the other extra cheese
Ariel doesn’t like pepperoni on her pizza.”
Ariel looks.
“I said I would take you out for a pizza not the other
way around.”
Don smiles.
“No its ok I don’t mind besides the guy usually
pays not the girl. Don’t be mad at me Ariel you know how we are?”
“Yea I forget sometimes sorry Don.”
She goes and sits down and then Keno looks.
“Since you and Jana are over why don’t you tell
Ariel how you feel about her Donnie?”
He smiles.
“I’m ahead of you Keno. I have intentions on
doing so but thanks for trying to give me advice. I appreciate it a lot.”
He hands Don the pizza.
“Ok no problem good luck Donnie. I’m about to
go to lunch anyway.”
Don heads by the table where Ariel is sitting sipping her
soda.
He opens the box and they eat their pizza. While she eats
her pizza she stares at him across from her and smiles.
Don takes a bite and also looks in her brown eyes and sighs.
When they finish eating he refills their sodas and sits back down across from Ariel.
“Ariel I need to tell you something.”
She sips her soda and then looks.
“Ok what is it I’m listening we’re best
friends you can always talk to me you know that?”
He smiles.
“Yea I know. Ariel I broke up with Jana because I fell
in love with you. I’d understand if you don’t feel the same way I just thought I should let you know how I feel
about you.”
She leans across from the table and kisses him.
He looks up.
“Ok whoa I was afraid of nothing. Will you be my girl
Ariel?”
She leans across from him again and their lips meet once
again.
“Does that answer your question?”
He smiles.
“Oh yes it does. Wow I have a girlfriend too and don’t
have to hate myself for being lonely.”
She laughs.
“You’re something else Donatello come on let’s
go by your dad’s grave. Unless you changed your mind.”
He takes her hand as they exit and looks at Keno and winks.
“See you around bro I’ll tell my brothers you
said hi. Thanks again Keno.”
“No problem Don glad I could help.”
They walk by the studio and he kisses her up against the
building.
“See you after dark Ariel love you.”
