Okay so every one else is doing it so what the hell, this story has receivers in it (the main reason I'm doing it is because people have been so nice to put me in their stories I thought I'd return the kindness)

Disclaimer: I don't own anyone but myself, the tmnt characters are owned by Mirage and the rest are owned by themselves.

I walked through the house grabbing stuff I knew I would need for the very long car drive and the rest of the summer. I looked down at the list I had on the table.

"Okay so I have my mix CD's" I place my hand on a binder full of CD's. "Check. first aid kit, check." I stuffed the First aid bag into my bookbag. "suitcase full of cloths, and another full of comics and video's check"

My dad walked into the kitchen and took the suitcase. "So your actually going to go and meet all those people?" I nodded, still checking the list. "Do you even know their actual names?"

"Dad, I'm 19 years old, how stupid do you think I am?" My mom walked in just then,

"HexAdecimal! don't leave your self open like that." she smiled as she made herself a cup of tea.

I laughed as my dad gave her a look that said 'spoil sport'.

"Don't worry dad, I'm carful. Besides I've been waiting all year for this." I said as I finished putting the rest of my stuff in my bag.

"And you're going to be driving that hunk of metal all the way to the states?" Dad said

"That hunk of metal is my car. The one that you brought to the auto shop, and had Grandpa work on it, till he was satisfied?" I sighed. "And besides, I'm going to New York. That's only a four hour drive, No big deal."

"Alright you two," mom stepped between us, turning to me. "you have a good time. and call as soon as you get there." she then turned to my dad "And you, would you stop, she's driven to your brothers by herself before. The only difference is that instead of going north, she'll be going south."

"I gotta go," I leaned over and kissed my mom and dad on the cheeks. "I'll see you in a week."

We said our good byes and I was off, music blaring as I drove over the bridge that connected my city to the border of America. Turning down my music I opened my window for the custom officer.

"Where are you from?"

"Canada."

"how long are you going to be in America?"

"two months."

"State your business there."

"visiting friends."

"Anything to declare?"

"Nope."

"okay." the man walked back into the booth and lifted the bar. "Enjoy your stay."

I rolled up my window and drove through, I turned up my music.

I started singing with the music. "Obieta mezuki de iradatsu omoi uwaki na kaze ni hakisutete hibi-wareta rojou ni toketa SHIGUNARU wa kizuato dake nokoshite-iku."(1)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I turned onto the off ramp, remembering that I was supposed to pick up Lenni since her friend could only bring her half the way since they were heading west instead of east.

We were to meet at the Sunshine grocery store(2). I smiled as I saw her with three grocery bags, a large suitcase and a back pack. I pulled up in front of her and opened the passenger side window.

"Hey sweet cakes, going my way?" I asked with a smile. Lenni on the other hand looked at me like I was serious. "I'm kidding, Are you Lenni?"

She smiled, "Yeah, you HexAdecimal"

"Only if you got the stuff." I said as I got out of the car to open up the trunk.

"Yeah I got the stuff, you owe me 40 dollars American." She said as she put her bag in the trunk.

"Thanks." I took out my wallet and took out two twenties. "Here."

She took the money and put the grocery bags in the back seat. "So what's Pokey?" she asked as she got in the car. I looked at her as if she was from another planet.

"Only the best snack food in the world! Get out a box." I told her as I put my seat belt on. She leaned into the back and took out a box that had Japanese writing on it with Pokey written in big bold red letters. "Pokey is a Japanese style cookie that's in stick form."

"oh cool." she put her seat belt on and I started the car. soon we were back on the highway, Lenni stuffing her face with Pokey goodness and me singing more Japanese songs.

"So your really into the culture, huh?" Lennie asked as we passed a sign that said "Bridge to manhattan 5 miles"

"Yeah, ever since I was in grade 4. The school was having this contest type thing on which class could do the best presentation on a certain county. My class was given Japan, we did an original Japanese tea ceremony, I sang a Japanese pop song and we even had someone who did martial arts." I said proudly.

"Sweet. did you win?" Lenni asked while sucking tossing he empty box into the back.

"No, we would have won if it wasn't for that kid who side kicked on of the judges in the jewels." Lennie burst out laughing. "He warned the judge not to come to close."

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

We finally mad it to the hotel where we were going to stay. Lenniluvsbrian took her backpack and suitcase while I grabbed my suitcase and bookbag and we walked into the lobby.

"Hello, how can I help you?" asked the clerk.

"Yes, I reserved a room, its under the name HexAdecimal." I smiled looking at Lenni who was looking around the lobby, She turned around and mouthed the word sushi and pointed at a restaurant. I smiled.

"okay yes, I have it right here." the clerk said after typing into the computer. "how will you be paying?"

"cash." I said as I took out my wallet and payed.

After I was done I turned to Lenni, it's a shame that they won't accept Canadian debit(3). She nodded and went to sign in while I finally got a chance to look around. there was a big sign that said Bar and Grill over a door. The chairs and sofa's were black leather, and there was a Japanese restaurant. I walked over to the restaurant and smiled as two little boys looked into the mini pond that was set near the door. The smaller of the two ran back to his mother, crying out "Look mommy fish!" She just smiled and turned back to her husband.

The boys stayed by the pond watching the fish swim around. When ever someone walked through the door, the young boy would cry out. "Look fish." I giggled and turned just in time so see Lenni walk up to me. "You gotta see this kid, he's too cute." I said and pointed out the child as a girl in her twenties walked out the door. The boy again said his little catch fraise. the lady only giggled and walked away.

"Look, lunch." I said laughing as we walked away. "what room do you have?" Lennie looked down at her key.

"410, you?"

"414"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We met up in the lobby, for supper. I was beginning to wonder when the others were going to arrive, so I walked up to the receptionist.

"Excuse me, could you tell me if Daydream, Ziptango, Dancingfea have signed in yet?"

The man typed on the keys for a couple of minutes " Yes ma'am both Ziptango and Daydream have signed in. In fact there they are now." He pointed out two girls, both teenagers. one wore a blue silk top and the other wearing a denim blouse.

"thank you." I waked over to Lenni. "All three have signed and both Ziptango and Daydream are over there" I pointed them out.

"Cool," Lenniluvsbrian and I walked over to the two girls. "Daydream? Ziptango?" Both girls looked over.

"Yes?" asked the one in silk. "I'm Daydream, may we help you?"

"It's nice to finally meet you. I'm HexAdecimal and that's Lenniluvsbrian." Lenni gave a small wave

"Hi." Ziptango smiled as we walked over the couch and chairs. "How was the trip up there?"

"Oh it was great! Hex and I ate Pokey and listened to Two Mix and Backstreet boys but only after I begged her, and did you know that she's been interested in Japanese culture since she was eight? She's been interested in ninja turtles since the cartoon began and she had a turtle named Raphael." Lenni took a deep breath since she had said all of that in one breath.

` Ziptango, Daydream and I just stood staring at Lenniluvsbrian.

"Oh my lord!" Ziptango said sitting down in a chair. "I thought she was just writing like that in "Evil" as an extreme for herself.

Daydream looked at me. "What did she just say?"

"The gist of it is we had no troubles, I'm obsessed about the Japanese culture, I had a turtle named Raph, I introduce her to a very tasty snack called Pokey and she wouldn't stop begging me to allow her to listed to her Backstreet tapes." I turned to Lenni who was sitting beside me on the couch. "Did I leave anything out?"

Lenni shook her head. "That's pretty much it."

Wow, you understood her?" Daydream asked.

"Impressive." Ziptango agreed.

"Not really, I have cousins who are incredibly hyper." I smiled

"So we just have to wait for Dancing and then we head up the farm?" asked Lenni leaning back. I nodded.

"It's pretty cool that your aunt let you borrow her place for the summer." Zip said to me.

"Yeah it's sweet." I said back.

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

Dancingfea walked through an alley, thinking it would be easier then going all the way around the block to get to the hotel. A man grabbed her from behind, twisting her arm behind her back.

"Say a word and I slit your throat. got it?" the man said placing a very sharp knife to her neck. Dancingfea nodded. "Good, now give me your purse."

Dancingfae was about to hand it over, when two shadowed figures appeared in front of her,

"You don't have to give anything to that guy." one said.

"And who's gonna stop me? you?" the man twisted Dancing's arm, causing her to cry out in pain. "I have the girl, you can't touch me."

"Maybe not him, but me and my sai say we can." says another from behind the man, putting the tip of the weapon under his chin. "Let the girl go, or I'm having shikabobed tongue for supper, and boy am I hungry."

"EW! Dude you just made me lose my apatite!" Said the first one.

"Okay! okay," the man moved his knife away from her neck.

"Now say sorry,"

"I-I'm s-sorry." he stuttered.

"Now hand the guy to your right your wallet." he handed the wallet over, The one on the right took it and opened it, taking all the money he tossed the wallet on the ground.

"If I or anyone else see you around here again, we won't hesitate to kill you." he removed his sai. "now get out of here. And remember crime doesn't pay."

The man grabbed his wallet and ran out of the alley as if he were a bat out of hell.

"Are you alright ma'am?" asked not moving out of the shadow.

Dancingfae nodded. "I am now, thank you." she took a step closer to the shadow trying to catch a glimpse of them.

"good to hear." and with that they backed further into the shadows and vanished.

Dancingfae ran the rest of the way to the hotel.

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

Day, Zip, Lenni and I walked out of the bar and grill, when we heard a girl ask the receptionist if we had arrived yet.

"Yes miss they have," he pointed towards us. Thanking him The girl ran over to us.

"Are you girls Daydream, Lenniluvsbrian, HexAdecimal and Ziptango?" she asked, we nodded.

"Thank God! I'm Dancingfae."

"Finally, We thought we'd be waiting all night for you" Day said smiling.

"heh, yeah well your not going to believe what just happened to me."

"What's that?" I asked, and took a sip of my soda.

"I was just saved by the real ninja turtles." We all laughed at hearing this.

"Oh that's good. but kinda a cliché don't you think? Lenni asked.

"I'm serious. and tomorrow were going into the sewers to find them." ~~~~~~~~~~~ TBC 1) that's the first verse in a song called Rage Beat by Bad Luck is one of the main song in an anime show I watch called gravitation.

2) this is a real store in New York, not anywhere near Manhattan or any place famous. Its about an hour drive there from my house.

3)It's true, They will not accept Canadian debit cards (I tried).

anyway this is chapter one. Sorry Dancingfae for having you the one who was mugged, but I made it up by having you be the first to meet the turtles. If I get information about the authors wrong PLEASE tell me otherwise, I want this to be as accurate as something like this could be. oh and PLEASE review.
