"Alright,

Clothes-check!

Toothbrush and toothpaste?-check!

Phone and laptop-check!

I have my PJ's... What am I missing?" I turn to look in the mirror, My hair is messed on one side and sticks up on the other, I still have my long sweats on and sweater, my teeth un-brushed, and my eyes have bags under then. "Oh... I look like a beat up rodeo clown who just woke up" I say to my mirror self, so I quickly hop in the shower, put on my dark blue jeans, my pig hood, and my beanie hat. I zip up my suitcase and I head quickly downstairs. "You ready dad?!" I yell from downstairs. My dad comes down with his suitcase, and a blade from his old suit. "Uhhh dad, are you sure you wanna be carrying that around? Only because of you know... The metal detectors"

"It'll be fine" My dad replies waving his hand down in the air.

"Let's hit that airport!"

At the airport, it was really busy, but all I could think about was seeing the guys again, April, and Splinter. I missed them a lot. As the plane took off, I looked down at the cities the whole time, Tokyo was nice, but NYC is my home. Finally after hours of flying, we arrived at New York City! So excited! When it was landed and it was safe to get off, I was the first one out, my feelings, speed, or actions had NO limits! I ran to the place where they keep the luggage, and quickly took mine, the guy who was supposed to hand out the bags shouted to me "Hey, KID! Watch it!" But I didn't care, I just kept running and running until I finally got to the apartment my dad said we'd live in. It was Aprils! Yay! I hear painting and wheezing, yup, that's my dad. "Sorry dad, but I thought you would have been able to keep up, you know, because you're a ninja and everything." I told him

"Keep up? With you? No way! " My dad replied out of breath, I giggled, then, out if the corner of my eye, I saw a sewer-great. "I'm gonna go for a while, can you just put my luggage in any room thanks!" I toss dad the keys to the apartment and I toss him my light weight bag, he doesn't seem to mind. I quickly rush over to the great, pull it up, and jump in. I run as fast as I can to the lair. Then, I finally get there, but I slowly walk in, and knock on the side of the wall. "Hey" I said.

"Rose! Your back!" "I missed you so much!" "I can't believe it!" "Welcome back dudett!" Leo, April, Raph, and Mikey all cheered, it made me so happy to know they all missed me, I missed them a lot to. I smiled, "ya... Well, let's just say when you know people from the airport, you get places!" I told them. After I said that, we all had a massive group hug. Then, I remembered something. The hug broke and I asked, "Wait... Where's Donnie?"

"Dudes in his lab, he haven't come out for the entire time you where gone, you need to see him!" Mikey explained to me. "Thanks Mikey!" I said running over to Don's lab. But Mikey grabs my hand, "Wait! I'll get him! He's gonna be so surprised!"

Mikey's POV:

I creek open the door and poke my head inside, I see him slouching over his desk sitting in his chair, looking at something but I know JUST what'll cheer him up! "Dude?"

"Mikey, what ever it is, I'm not interested." Donnie replies softly in an annoyed tone.

"But, you will be! Just come on bro! Trust me!" He turns to look at me with an expression I can't really tell what it is, so I give him my super awesome puppy dog eyes, oh ya, I rock at that, Don gives me a smile. "Alright, what is it?"

Rose's POV:

I see Donnie and Mikey walk into the living room with Mikey's hand over Donnie's eyes. "Alright aaaaand... OPEN 'EM UP!" Mikey says cheerfully as he uncovers Donnie's eyes, I give him the biggest smile I've ever given, and it's a real one, he stands there, speechless, I assume. Then, he rushes over and hugs me, like... HUGS ME, I think I'm gonna pass out. "I missed you... SO much Rose!" He says quietly. "Yup... I missed you to... I'm also gonna miss living in about 5 seconds." I say out of breath.0, the. Donnie quickly let's go of me and steps back, we laugh a little. "Hey! Guess what I brought?" I say pulling a large box out of my bag. "It's marshmallow, sardines, maple syrup, ice cream, and hot sauce pizza!" Mikey seems to think its awesome, and so do I, but then there's everyone else. "Ya... I'm good" "no thanks" "I have to go do a thing" "I'm good" Leo, Raph, April and Donnie all say rushing into the kitchen. Mikey and I follow them slowly behind, we both take a piece of pizza when we sit down, we look a tea higher and then eat, I try my best not to gag, but Mikey's eating it down faster than Kansas razed back tuna! Yuck! Donnie looks at me and says, "Normal cheese pizza?" He puts a slice of regular plain cheese pizza and gives me that 'I told you so' look, I nod panda take it quickly and chew, sooo good. Donnie smiles at me and kisses my cheek, I look at him and smile. Then, I hear a meow from the freezer. 'The fuck?' I mouth. We all look at each other and rush to the freezer, I open it and find three baby ice cream kitties surrounding ice cream kitty. "Awwww!" April and I say, goes kitties are so cute! "Ice cream kitty is- a girl?" Raph questions. "Huh..." Leo shrugs. "Where did these little ice cream kitties come from?" Mikey says lovingly picking one up and petting it (licking it) Raph gently takes the kitten away from Mikey, but growls at him, but I agree though, it's just a baby. "Well Mikey, when a-" but then I cut him off by putting my hand over his mouth and I say, "cabbages! they come from cabbages!" Okay... So maybe they DON'T come from cabbages! But I don't think Mikey's ready for THAT talk. My phone rings, I read the text from my dad. "Sorry guys... Got to go home, I need to unpack and get used to the new place, well, April's apartment."

"Wait, what room are you in?" April asks me.

"217" I reply. "You?"

"128! Neighbour." April tells me with a smile.

"Yes! This is gonna be awesome! And our message can send in a shorter amount of time because of the short distance between us." April nodded, then we both hugged just before I started to leave.

"Wait, Rose!" Donnie rushed over to me, he rubbed the back of his head, "should I walk you home?" He asked.

"Sure. But just drop me off a block away... You know..." I said clawing my nails through the air to resemble my dad (The Shredder). "Oh... Right" Donnie said looking down. But we got over it quickly, so we headed to the surface, the walk was quiet, really quiet, then, we got to a block away from the apartment. "Thanks for walking me Donnie." I told him, we became face to face. "It was nothing" He replied. And I could've swore he said something softly, "Please don't hate me" then, he quickly grabbed me by the shoulders and gave me a kiss, well that was unexpected, but... Alright, he quickly then ran off and shouted "Later Rose!" I stood there, trying to process what happened... I blinked a few times. "Yes!" I whisper/shouted making a fist and bending my arm pumping it once toward my stomach, ( not in my stomach). Then I headed inside to my new apartment, and got into bed, only thinking about the turtles.
