Chapter 22

(Continuing off of 21)

••••

I screamed loudly, as leo just barley dodged a pedestrian
"I thought you said you knew how to drive!" I screeched, holding onto Raph for dear life.
"I do! But that old lady just came out of no where!" Leo responded completely awestruck to know that old people cross the streets.
"Well open your eyes better Leo! Your going to kill me before we can even set up for Christmas!" I exclaimed hugging Raph tighter
"Yeah, and if ya keep hugging me any tighter, your gunna kill me!" Raph gasped, and I quickly loosened my grip, but not to much.
"So dudette, your like, afraid of being in a vehicle?" Mikey asked as I widened my eyes
"With Leonardo driving!" I shrieked as we turned a sharp corner, leo groaned
"I'm not that bad!-- WOAH!" He shouted slamming on the breaks, luckily Raph was strapped into his seat by the seatbelt, and my iron grip I went no where.
Thank god..

"Just like I said.. I don't like being in a car-- HEY! This is where we have to be!" I smiled quickly releasing my grip as I slid the doors open.
My smile only got larger seeing the large amount of pine trees lined up, growing perfectly I squealed
"Let's go find us a awesome tree!" I called running into the tree farm.

"Wait! Kitara slow down!" Donnie shouted as I heard their footsteps get closer.
"Not this one, to bulky.. This ones to short.. To pointy, to bare.." I continued judging the trees while the boys walked behind me confused
"And why do we need a tree exactly?" Leo asked confused while the other three nodded.
"Because we need to decorate it, Duhh." I said like it was obvious, stopping completely as my eyes shone at the most perfect Christmas tree ever.
It was a medium sized, atleast 5 feet taller than Donatello himself, it wasn't too prickily or to bare and it wasn't too bulky or small! It was absolutely perfect
"This one. This is the one, oh my goodness it's amazing!" I squealed and turned to the boys.
"Got a chainsaw, or just a saw or something?"
Slowly the three boys turned to donnie, as he shrugged shaking his head no
"Sorry.. I didn't know we were cutting trees down.." He chuckled nervously

I frowned sadly
"Oh, hmm.. Just stay here, and I'll go buy one from a shop!" I called as I took off again, running towards the exit and down the street.

••••

"No sir, I'm not crazy.. I need that chainsaw because I'm cutting down a tree for Christmas! Now can I just give you the money so I can have it! Pleeeeaaassseee?" I begged wearing the puppy eyes, what can I say? Christmas has some sort of trance on me.
"I told ya' girl, I ain't giving you this here saw unless ya' give me some identification." He grumbled crossing his beefy arms, I sighed.
"Come on, seriously I ran at least two blocks to get here! Please can I just buy it! I really need it sir, be in the Christmas spirit!" I exclaimed flaring my arms around trying to prove my point.
"My final answer is no lady, so if ya don't give me some ID I'm gonna have to ask ya to leave." The chubby man frowned, obviously frustrated.
I sighed, turning around I started to walk away until I bumped into somebody, my small figure fell to the ground with a thud, the black polished shoes of the person stood there while wearing blueish pants..
"Is there a problem, officer?" The beefy cash register mans voice asked, a little bit on edge.
"Not unless you would give this young lady what she asked for, and then everything here could be forgotten, Fredrick." The Officer spoke sternly, extending his hand towards me I looked up at him
"Names officer Ryan, I do apologize for bumping into you like that." I took his hand hesitant and he lifted me up, shaking it in the process I smiled softly
"Kitara, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Officer Ryan." The man chuckled, taking the chainsaw with a small red canister most likely filled with gas, handing the money to that Fredrick guy, we walked out into the cold December air.
"Need a lift kid? I heard what you said, running two blocks here for a silly chain saw.." I shrugged slightly
"If your willing to, Officer.. That would be lovely." He laughed
"Oh kid, you don't have to be formal with me, hop in." I sat in the front of the car, surprisingly he didn't object as he set the items in the back seat.
The car door shut and he turned the ignition key to the right, and the car came to life, pulling his leaver into drive he drove off.
We stayed in silence, obviously not wanting to make it awkward, so I just didn't talk.
A few minutes we were parked in front of the tree farm and the officer turned to me, wearing a small smile
"I trust you won't be cutting them all down, will ya kid?" He joked pulling the screen from the back and he lifted the things to the front, handing them to me.
I laughed shaking my head
"No, of course not. Just going to get the tree and go! Thank you so much.. Merry Christmas!" I called as I started walking back down the path.
"You too kid!" He called back and drove away.

(Add chainsaw sound effects!)
VROOOM VROOM VROOM
MEEEEHHH
(Like my sound effects? :3 )
MEHHH
"Donnie don't make it uneven!" I whined as he furrowed his eyebrows trying to concentrate.
"Tiiiiimmmmbeeerrrrr!" Mikey shouted as Leo and Raph quickly held the tree, careful not to wreck it, Don turned off the chain saw and looked at me
"Is it even enough for you, princess of all trees?" He said sarcastically as I smiled nodding frantically
"Let's go! The faster we can set this baby up, the better!" I cheered, skipping off while the other three carried the tree, donnie right beside me.
"So Christmas, is when exactly?" Donnie asked as i smiled
"Thursday."
Donnie's eyes widened
"What!! That's in like.. Two days!" He shouted ready to tear his.. Well, bandana apart?
I smiled nodding
"I know. I like getting things late, it's funny to see everybody running around like things are going to disappear right before their eyes.. It's really funny." I giggled at the thought, the boys, luckily had bungy cords and strapped the tree to the roof, all of us loading into the 'shell raiser' we started off again, this time, leo being a better driver.

••••skipping again..•••

"Riiiiiigggght there! Yep that's perfect! Thanks guys!" I exclaimed giving them a quick hug, Raph seemed to get redder by his cheeks, but I decided to ignore it.
The tree looked absolutely amazing, well.. It was undecorated.. But it still looked awesome non the less!
"Now what?" Raph asked crossing his arms
"EWWW! I got sticky orange stuff on my hands.. That's nasty dudes-- oh and dudette.." Mikey said looking disgusted at his hands, I guess Raph had something in mind, as he leaned to Mikey's ear whispering something, Mike's eyes widened, and he quickly ran off to the bathroom.
Raph erupted into laughter clutching his gut "oh god, that's priceless!" He gasped shaking his head.
Leo rolled his eyes while donnie shook is head smiling, while I just looked confused.
"Annnyyyway.. I need you all to do me a huge favor!" Quickly I ran to the box and opened the flaps from the it.
Christmas lights, tinsel, popcorn strings, Tree ornaments and a whole bunch of stuff was stuffed into that box.
"Let's get started boys!" I exclaimed grabbing the longest string of Christmas lights in the box and some duck tape.

••••Hehe, I'm so mean..••••••

During the time of decorating, I was sat on Raphael's shoulders, while he kept me tall enough to put the lights all around the room, luckily I grabbed the multicoloured ones so I didn't have to go around again.

Donnie set the tinsel around the room, but diagonally instead of following Mine and Raph's route.
He of course wanted to do the most work, stringing white, blue and red along with it making it look amazing, Leo was following Donnie's instructions by setting up the extension cords so the lights could turn on, occasionally messing up and turning back where he was before.
Mikey was setting up the carpet under the tree, just so when the pine neddles fall off they won't make a mess of the lair, aswell as cooking some cookies in the kitchen, taking a break to go and check of them every 5 minutes.
And even master splinter was there, looping the tinsel, aswell as the lights and popcorn strings around the tree, leaving the small ornaments for us to place later.
Raph, my stool was just cracking jokes once and awhile, chatting it up while making me laugh. This is the kind of Christmas I'd like to have every year, instead of spending it alone.
If you were wondering, Felix, my cat just laid on the blue couch curled into a ball sleeping soundly, I loved my cat so dearly.
Anyways, it took atleast forever to finally get it set up, until we were completely finished.
Mikey holding a small cookie, guess they were done.

"Alright.. Here we go! 3...2...1... Go!" Donnie pushed the plug into the extension cord, while leo shut the lights off.
The lair immediately turned into colours of red, blue, green, orange, yellow, really any Christmas colour.

(Yep I know, yellow and orange aren't Christmasy, but I have lights that have yellow and orange.. So if you don't, sorry!)

"Wow.. This looks.. AMAZING!" Mikey exclaimed in awe munching on his cookie, while I just smiled, standing beside Raph, gently he laid his arm around my waist, pulling me to be beside him.
"Thanks, Kitten, for doing this for us.." He whispered into my ear making me smile more
"No problem, Raphie.. No problem at all."

"I'm beat! I'm heading off to bed, night bros, and Kit!" Mikey yawned walking up the stairs to his bedroom.
Raph removed his arm from my waist, careful not to be caught, leo was next to speak
"Yeah, I'm with Mikey.. Thanks kit, for doing this.. It really means a lot, good night!" He said softly, rubbing his eyes as he soon disappeared too.
"Night you two, sleep well." Don said simply and he followed as well, leaving Raph and I alone.
"You heading to bed too?" I asked and I was almost instantly followed by a response.
"Yeah, wadda bout' you?" He asked rasing his eyeridge
"Mmhm.." I yawned rubbing my eyes, I scooped my purring ball of fluff up, and carried him up the stairs, while Raph followed behind.
Having my hands full, he was the one to open the door, the room was pitch black, until I flicked the switch with my nose to turn it on.

(Don't tell me I'm the only one who does this.. XD..)

Just like almost every night I've spent here, I curled into the covers, my cat going to the foot of the bed staying close to my feet, while Raph turned the light off, and slipped into the bed, looping his arm around my waist once more, he pulled me close to his warm body.
"Night, Kitten.." He whispered kissing my temple
"Night, Raphie.." I whispered back, my eyelids shutting, and the dark consumed me once again.
