Chapter 1

The lair was becoming fuller, with joy and laughter. All but one, in the laboratory. Where a gentle hearted pacifist and most intelligent of all the turtles, kept himself away and working. Forever updating the security system, drawing up escape plans in case of unexpected ambush and attack from their enemies which usually happens. Donnie envied a wife and kids of his own but he feared that his mate may leave him due to his continuous tinkering and gadget inventing.

Donatello was interrupted by a knock at his door. "Yeah?"

The door opened. "Hey Donny, if you keep working like this. We'll have to call for triple A." Rachael teased, smiling. "Triple A is for broken down vehicles." Donatello corrected her, chuckling little.

"I know. But trying to make you laugh, you know?" she replied. "Ha-ha." He chuckled.

"Brought in some coffee and a sandwich." She told him, placing the tray down on the table for him. "Thankyou." He said, gratefully. "Don't work too hard, Donny. Your dream lady is waiting."

He sighed softly as Rachael left the room, closing the door behind her. Leaning back in his chair and exhaled again. "Let's hope so. Wherever she may be."

Somewhere on the other side of Manhattan, a striking beautiful young woman of dark brown hair; fair skin and memorizing sapphire blue eyes had recently moved to the city as she wished to be marine biologist. Biology was her favourite subject in the scientific category as she also came first in her class even was known as top of the nation. Also had been informed that she could be the next NASA incorporate but this didn't interest her. Her heart led elsewhere and she was determine to follow wherever it may guide her towards. As her dreams had never been wrong either.

Forever seeing a shadowed figure in her dreams ever since she was a little girl, that had similar interests as she did but understood her in every way, especially scientific topics. She had a few relationships in the past but none ever lasted or ever healthy for her as they always seemed to be toxic before actually had begun. But she always managed to leave before anything, terrible begun or leave a scar.

While sitting in her private condo, on the rooftop and enjoying the sunset as she brushed her thumb up then down on the side of the cup. Softly sighed as she wondered to herself. "Why does awful things happen to me? When will I have my chance of real love? Am I deserving of love or fated to meet a endless line of jerks?" Biting her lower lip, softly and sighed again as a pair of warm broken but questioning tears streamed and saturated her lily white cheeks.

Drinking the last of her olong tea, stood up slowly then took one last look to the setting sun. "Bye-bye sun, see you tomorrow." She farewelled the day and welcomed the night, turning her back and walked to the door then walked inside, allowing the door to shut behind her.

A soft breeze flew by her as she walked in the apartment, exhaling a frost breathe when she realised something or someone had came to visit. Covering her mouth as she was shocked to see what couldn't be real then asked. "Grandma?" she asked, shuddered alittle.

The old woman before her, softly and warmly smiled as she stepped forward and caressed her cheek. Then whispered, assuring. "Love is coming for you, just gotta have faith." Then received a kiss on her cheek and closed her eyes then before she knew, her grandmother had gone.

Touching the place where she received the kiss and quietly cried once again. Unsure what to think, say or believe. But somehow in her heart, she knew that her grandmother was right.

"I promise grandma, I'd be open to love and keep the faith. Thankyou grandma."
