Updated 7/16/14


I was lying on the couch in my and April's apartment, in short shorts and a tank top, when she walked in, coming home from the store.

In the past 3 months April had officially adopted me. My name was now legally Scarlet O'Neil. The guys and Splinter lived with us since the foot knew where their home in the sewers was. I spent most of my time playing games with Mikey, tinkering with Donnie, meditating with Leo and Raph was teaching me how to defend myself in case he or the guys couldn't protect me. He was very much like a protective older brother. Ever since I was kidnapped by the foot he was very over protective. It did get annoying at times but I got used to it. It's how he showed he cared.

April came in and walked into the kitchen. I heard her put down her stuff and flipped over on the couch to see her opening the fridge with a loaf of bread in her hand. She gasped seeing the rubber snake Mikey put in the fridge.

"Ohh, Michelangelo." She said laughing, taking it out and putting it over her shoulders. She turned around and picked up a bunch of Leo's comics. "Leonardo." She picked up Donnie's skate board. "Donatello." She leaned down to pick up Raph's exercise equipment. "Raphael." She picked up my notebook. "And Scarlet." She said turning to acknowledge that I was there. I gave a sheepish smile. "The rat is the cleanest one." She said before walking upstairs.

"Oh yeah!" I heard the guys coming in through the window. I looked over and noticed they had pizza boxes.

"Primo workout, dudes!" Mikey said as he came inside.

"Yeah!" Leo said high fiving him.

"We showed those guys, huh?" Raph said landing on the ground.

"Muy primo, bros." Leo said.

"Turtle-riffic!" Donnie said jumping down from the counter.

"Max-amundo." Raph said.

"A cappella." Donnie said. Everyone stopped and turned to him, confused. I couldn't help but giggle quietly. "Uh Perestoika?" The guys shook their heads. "Okay I got it. 'Frerejacques.' Frerejacques, Frerejacques." He said moving his hands. Mikey put his hand on Donnie's shoulder.

"Donnie, give it up." Mikey said.

"Hey where'd you guys get the pizza? I thought you were up on the roof." I asked as I got up to sit on the arm of the couch.

"We saw the delivery boy going into a toy store that was getting robbed. We stepped in." Mikey said.

"Don't worry we paid for it." Donnie said.

"Was he cute?" The guys all turned around and gave me a look. "What's with those looks? I'm a teenage girl." I said crossing my arms.

"Yeah, and we're teenage guys." Raph said.

"Yeah but you guys don't look at girls," I said shaking my head. "you look for bad guys."

"Well Raph has a crush on-!" Mikey started but Raph cut him off by hitting his arm.

"Mikey! Shut it!" I raised an eyebrow.

"He had a crush on April," Leo said. "When we first met her." Raph nodded.

"Yeah that's it." He said looking away. I nodded and let myself fall back onto the couch, my onyx hair fanning out around my head.

"Hi guys." April said coming down the stairs, her hair now up in a bun.

"Yo, April." Raph greeted. "What it is?" He said holding out his hand for a low five. "Yeah!" He said when she low fived him.

"We brought-a dinner." Donnie said as if he were Italian, kissing his fingertips.

"Ahh, Pizza. Again."

"Yup. Pepperoni." Leo said. I got up and walked over to the group now around the pizza. I put an arm on Leo's shoulder casually; he turned to smile at me briefly. Everyone went to get pizza.

"Please, please." Mikey said stopping them. "A moment to reflect." He said before all four leaned in and inhaled the scent of the pizza. April and I laughed at them.

"Here comes the slice." Raph said taking a piece.

"Enjoy." April said.

"Ninja pizza!" Mikey said.

"Ninja pizza?" Donnie asked.

"Pizza that vanish quickly without trace." Mikey said. I couldn't help but burst out laughing at that. He smiled back at me. Donnie put some salt on Mikey's pizza.

"Yo, Mikey, toss me a ninja slice!" Raph said from the other side of the table backing up.

"Uh oh." I said backing up out of the way. I knew this would end badly.

"Donnie, Statue of Liberty!" Mikey said.

"Come on, throw it! Over here!" April quickly went around the couch and in front of Raph.

"Mike, no!" She said holding out her arms. Leo and Mikey started to bump into each other as if they were blocking in football.

"I'm here! I'm right here! He's at the forty!" Raph said getting up on the couch. April tried desperately to block him.

"Please don't!"

"He's at the twenty!"

"Donnie!"

"He looks. He rolls back." Donnie said. "He goes deep." He says throwing the pizza.

"Donatello, Stop!" Raph spun over the back of the couch with the pizza slice. April and I looked over the back.

"Touchdown! Yeah!" Raph said with the pizza on his sai.

"Yeah!" The others cheered. I rolled my eyes and went over the back of the couch. I held out a hand and helped Raph up. I laughed as Raph danced back to the others.

"Brata ta da, ba da da da, ba da da da" He 'said' as he danced back. I sat back down on the couch and smiled watching the guys. Mikey got a slice of pizza and handed it to me.

"You're pizza, ma'lady." He said with a big grin. I giggled.

"Thanks, Mikey." I said before taking a big bite.

"No prob, dudette." He said. Raph came over and sat down on the couch next to me. The two of us leaned back in our seats at the same time. Raph moved his arm over the back of the couch and ended up putting his arm around my shoulders. His hand touched my bare shoulder and we looked at each other; my cheeks went pink while his became a darker green. He quickly moved his arm away.

"Ah- Sorry 'bout that." He said with a nervous chuckled.

"It's okay." I said shaking my head. "However you're comfortable." He nodded and put his arm back. I hid a small smile as my cheeks grew warmer. Donnie and Mikey snickered in our direction and Raph glared.

"So, any luck finding a new place to live yet?" April asked, sounding annoyed with the guys.

"Well, you know, in this market it's actually very difficult to find good subterranean housing." Donnie said holding a newspaper and talking in a deeper voice.

"Hey, we could always go back to the old sewer den." Raph said before taking a bite of his pizza.

"Well.."

"Oh yeah, right Raph. It's a little tough when about 500 members of the Foot Clan know where ya live, ya know?" Leo said.

"He's right." Donnie said holding a mug. Raph sat down next to me.

"What? We kicked their butts. They're all in jail. 'Sides, we took out the Shredda. So what's everyone so worried about anyway?" Raph asked getting up.

"He's right." Donnie said.

"No." Leo said standing up. "Splinter took out the Shredder."

"They're both right." Donnie said.

"Yeah, Yeah. I was there Leo, remember?" Raph said walking over to the window. "Old Shred did a swan dive" He put down his pizza and spun his hands. "with a half gainer right into the back of a garbage truck" He went up to the window and pretended to fall out. "Gaaaaaaah!"

"Raphael!" We all looked up to see Splinter on the stairs. "Come away from there."

"Geez, I was just…"

"Never forget who you are." He said coming down the stairs. "You are ninja. You must always practice the art of invisibility." He turned to look at the others. "All of you."

"Well, I don't get it." Raph said getting down. "I mean, why? We saved the city. Why can't we just go out and.." Splinter sighed.

"Stand before me, my sons." They all got up and went to stand in front of him. "For 15 years, you have been confined below. Now the outside world beckons your teenage minds... but they could never understand. Their world can never be ours." Mikey raised a finger in question.

"Not even pizza?" Mikey asked sadly pointing to the slice he was holding. The rest of them all looked sad as well.

"Pizza's okay." All the guys let out a breath. I held back a small giggle.

"Man, you give a guy a heart attack." Mikey said.

"Here, let me get you guys some napkins." April said.

"What for?" Mikey and Raph asked at the same time. April sighed and threw the napkins up in the air.

"Take heart, child." Splinter said as April said down at the dining table. "We will not be here much longer."

"Oh, no, no. You guys can stay here as long as you want." All the guys smiled.

"Oh, gee. Thanks a lot."

"No!" Splinter said. "We do not belong here above."

"Oh, man!"

"Yes, Master Splinter." Leo said putting his hands together.

"Yes, Master Splinter." Raph mocked. Leo elbowed him in the front. They started hitting each other.

"Hey!" Splinter said and they stopped. "Ten flips now! Go!.. Kids."

"One." Leo started counting.

"One." Raph counted.

"Such energy is wasted."

"Two." Splinter turned to the rest of us.

"Remember... the true ninja is a master of all things... a master of his environment... a master of himself. Focus your thoughts on where we must go... and leave the Shredder buried." I got up and went over to where Leo and Raph were flipping.

"Four." Raph said walking back up getting ready to do another flip. He looked at me. "What?" He asked before flipping. "Five."

"Oh nothing." I said shrugging.

"Six."

"Just seems like I see you flipping more than the rest of the guys."

"Seven. Trust me, they do their fair share. Eight."

"Never seen Donnie do flips for punishment."

"That's cause Donnie never gets caught when he does something wrong." Leo spoke up. Donnie walked over.

"No I've gotten caught once." He said shrugging.

"What did you do?" I asked turning to him.

"Ten." Leo and Raph said before they stopped.

"I tried to attach rockets to the back of my skateboard to make it go faster and ended up starting a fire."

"Smooth."

"Hey the rockets worked at least."

"Yeah at the expense of a rug." Raph said. I chuckled before heading to the stairs. "Where ya going?"

"To my room. Why, you wanna come?" I asked putting a hand on the stair railing.

"I wanna come!" Mikey shouted before running over. "Can we watch some movies?" I smiled to him.

"Sure." I turned to face the other guys. "Anyone else?" The three other turtles nodded and walked over. "Alright, we'll be in my room." I told April and Splinter. The two nodded and the five of us went upstairs.


We all got up to my room and Mikey automatically went over to my pile of movies and popped one in the TV before he jumped onto my bed and laid on his stomach with his head at the foot of the bed. I rolled my eyes at him. Leo and Donnie moved two bean-bag chairs closer to the TV on my dresser and Raph stood by the door.

"Come in Raph, sit anywhere."

"Yeah, sit with me!" Mikey said patting the spot beside him.

"Yeah, no thanks." He said crossing his arms. I went over and took his arm.

"Come on." I said pulling him over to the right side of the bed, where on the floor was a giant teddy bear. "Sit with me." I said pulling him down so we were both leaning against the bear that leaned against the wall. Mikey looked over and chuckled at him.

"Raph's all cuddly with a giant teddy bear." He said.

"Yeah, well your face is about to get cuddly with my fist." Raph threatened.

"Raph." I said smacking his arm lightly.

"He's askin' for it."

"Just ignore him." I said. Mikey took the remote and pressed play. "The Matrix? Really Mikey?"

"What?" He asked not taking his eyes from the screen.

"Nothin, she's just worried your brain will explode." Raph said. " Oh, wait a minute.." I smacked Raph's arm again.

"Be nice." He huffed and the movie started.


About halfway into the movie somehow Raph and I shifted and I was suddenly sitting in front of him, leaning against his chest. We were so engrossed into the movie that we didn't notice until the next morning when we woke up.

I opened my eyes and looked at the clock on the wall. It was around eight in the morning. I was about to close my eyes again when I noticed I was leaning against something kinda hard. I looked up to see Raph asleep. It was then I felt his arms around me, holding me secure to him. It actually felt nice and I felt safe. I closed my eyes just as the others were waking up. The first thing I heard was a snicker then someone hitting someone else, then Mikey's voice.

"Leo, Donnie." He whispered to the other two. I heard then groan as they woke up.

"What?"

"Shh. Come look at this." He said.

"Aw." Donnie said. "Aren't they cute?" He said. I felt my face heat up slightly and hoped they didn't see it.

"Should we wake them?" Leo asked.

"Nah, Raph will wake up in a bit anyway." Donnie said. "Mikey, what are you doing?" I heard Mikey getting off the bed.

"I'm looking for her camera." He said as I heard shuffling near my desk.

"Raph's gunna kill you." Leo said.

"Yeah but I with this I can always tease him about it." He said. "Aha!" He said quietly. "Found ya."

"Mikey, you like being alive, right?" Donnie asked. "Cause you snap that photo and he wakes up. I'm sorry but there's nothing Leo and I can do for you after that."

"Yea, you're digging your own grave here."

"Relax, they won't wake up." He said. Then all of a suddenly I saw a flash behind my eyelid and heard a photo pop out. Mikey chuckled. Suddenly Raph started to stir. He tightened his grip slightly and let out a soft waking up groan. He then seemed to tense and he took his arms from around me. I decided it would be a good time to 'wake up' so I pretended that I got cold and shivered slightly before opening my eyes and lifting my head to look at Raph.

"Raph?" I sat up, putting a hand on his chest. "Sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep on you." I said. His face seemed to get darker and he shook his head.

"It's alright." Then he looked up and saw Mikey holding my camera and a photo. "What's that picture?" He asked glaring at Mikey.

"Nothing!" Mikey said hiding both the camera and the photo behind his back.

"Oh I think it is something." Raph said getting up. Suddenly Mikey threw my camera onto my bed and ran from the room still holding the picture. Raph chased after him. "Get back here Mikey!"

"We warned him." Leo said. Donnie shrugged and I rolled my eyes. I stretched my arms above my head.

"Well," I said getting up. "Don't know about you two but I'm hungry."

"I think there's still some pizza left." Leo said.

"As much as I love pizza I think I'm gunna have something else, Leo." I said with a chuckle. He chuckled and the two followed me as I went downstairs.


Mikey was behind the couch and Raph was on the other side.

"Come on Raph." Mikey said with a nervous laugh. "Don't do anything rash."

"Give me the picture Mikey!" Raph growled. Leo and Donnie shook their heads as I went to the fridge to get milk for cereal.

"What's the big deal, Raph?" Mikey asked. "Why does this picture bother you so much?" Donnie and Leo looked at each other.

"He's suicidal." Leo said. Donnie nodded. I got out a bowl, spoon and box of cereal and put them on the table before walking to stand next to Leo and Donnie. Raph went around the couch but Mikey went around the other side.

"Mikey." Raph growled. They went around it again.

"Why does Raph wanna kill Mikey again?" I asked. Leo and Donnie looked at each other before shaking their heads.

"If we told you he'd kill us." Donnie said. I tilted my head in confusion before walking over to the couch. I jump onto it and sat on the back.

"Hey Mikey, can I see the picture?" I asked sweetly.

"Here take it!" He said handing it over before running over to Leo and Donnie. I looked at the picture and blushed slightly.

"Scar." Raph said holding out his hand. I looked from him back to the picture.

"Hmm… nope." I said with a smirk.

"Come on Scar." He said reaching for the photo. I leaned back holding it behind me.

"Uh-uh."

"Scarlet." I leaned back more and suddenly lost my balance and started to fall off the back with a small yelp. Raph dived over the back of the couch. I opened my eyes and looked down at Raph who had his arms around me. He looked up at me. "You alright?" I nodded with a light blush. He suddenly snatched the picture from my hand.

"Ah- hey!" He held it above his head and smirked. I reached up for it but his other arm held me in place against him. "No fair, Raph." I pouted. I moved myself up so I could just barely reach it and didn't noticed Raph's face get darker and his eyes widen as my chest was directly in his face. He swallowed.

"Uh… Scar?" He asked, his voice muffled against my chest. My face went bright red and I let out a yelp before moving up.

"Having fun back here?" Mikey asked looking over the back of the couch. I got up off Raph and tried to hide my blush. Mikey snickered.

"Lil help?" Raph asked, his face deep green. I helped him off his back and the two of us avoided looking at each other. Raph put the photo away in his shell. I got up and went over to the table where my unmade cereal was waiting.


Added the whole movie idea at last minute it made it longer, YAY! Not sure when next chapter will be out, I have it written but not everything is EXACTLY how I want it yet, I'm still working on it.
