LIFE OF AN IMAGE CON'T

Memory Lane by Luis Gutierrez (con't)

Leon: Do you remember when we were 10 and went to that abandoned haunted hotel...

Alester: A the summit of the mountain.

Leon nods his head and Donatelo tilts his head in remembrance.

Alester: Isn't that the time when Donatelo got lost in the basement?

Leon and Alester both chuckle at the memory.

Donatelo: (pushing out his chest as if he was trying to save his ego and reputation) I wasn't lost, I was looking around to see if I would find a souvenir.

Leon: Yeah right, we heard the sniffling and calling for help. How else do you think we found you? Or were you calling to us to see the beautiful decor?

All three start laughing at the gestures Leon made.

Alester: Okay, I gotta question. If you had to describe our friendship, how would you do it?

Donatelo: We've known each other all of our lives. Definitely family.

Leon: Speak for yourself. I wasn't in your crowd for some time.

Alester: What a few months? Remember the time you tried to pet the lioness...

Everybody breaks out laughing at the memory.

Donatelo: Yeah you do. I know you do. Ooo who would ever forget. She almost dragged you out of the room and into her den.

The two friends laughed even louder as Leon started to grow three shades of skin color.

Alester: What were you thinking? Don't say you thought she was harmless.

Leon can't hold back so he cuts in first chance he gets.
