~Chapter 5~

~Grace's pov~ (yes again)

We have known the turtles for about a week so it was common for both April and I to hang out at the Lair while we both waited for the Turtles to come back from a patrol or a fight that we were told most definitely not to go near where they would be fighting. OF course I wouldn't really be like a little princess waiting in her castle waiting for her prince charming to come back from defeating the dragon. I am biding my time until my protective ninja suite is correctly made without raising any suspicion from the turtles or April. Hey I had to try and make sure that Girls are just as strong as they are. With a secret female ninja on the streets of New York and helping them defeating the Kraang. Later this week April and I are going to introduce them to my secret favorite chieneese food restraunt owned by a blind Mr.Mukari.It would be absolutely perfect he couldent know that they are turtles and they could finally have more of some other food than pizza. They could get to know more about what regular people do instead of training and fighting a race of Aliens from a different dimension. I just can't can't wait to see their faces when they try his amazing food. Even I can barely make that kind of food. April agrees with me on that matter. Thinking of April she was doing her version of studying. Possibly more accurately called going-on-instagram- twitter-or-Facebook page-with-one-class-studying-guide-tab-open-on-her-chromebook. While she did that I was reading a weapon usage book that was camouflaged as a Harry potter book. All of them have stopped by alone at least once this week hoping that we were both alright and sometimes hoping to have some help.Mostly help with one of their brothers that just so happens to be getting on their nerves. Especially Leo. He was still trying to get used to the burden of being the official leader of his other brothers. ~flashback~ It was late at night when I heard the quiet knock on my window. Knowing that it would be one of the turtles I had oped it willingly.I had noticed that it was Leo, he seemed upset. Knowing that he would attempt to mask his emotions. I asked him politely" Hey Leo who is the brother that is annoying you?" At first he looked surprised then he had his raw emotions showing in his posture and in his dark blue eyes. It honestly hurt me to see him like this I said in an even kinder voice" Hey would you like to come in and have a huge bowl of Ice Cream with me?" At that his face lit up slightly. It had given me hope to help him. We started to watch Space heroes that I had found. Later he started to rant all about what his younger brothers did. All of them were not even making an attempt to listen to him. It really had gotten me angry that they weren't listening but I told him that in the extreme real fights and not the patrol or the alley scrimmages they would listen to his plans. Eventually they would listen to him to almost all of his orders concerning the battle but remember they also live in their own little world so try not to change them allow change to naturally happen and to remember to tell them when they are doing good and a way where they could possibly improve a little bit. In a brotherly way not in a leader way. He should also know how to take the knowledge that he has gained and turn it to wisdom. After that I said" You should probably get back they are starting to get very worried about you." With that he had left to go back to the lair in a little bit higher spirits. ~present time~ A different time we decided to watch a disney movie and eat some homemade pizza. He really liked that and had declared that it was a little better than the store bought pizza. Coming from him I decided that was a huge achievement. Once when Mikey had taken enough of his brothers thinking that he couldn't really do anything he had come over to see April and I. When I found out that his brothers had taken out a little too much anger out on him I immediately went to April's room to borrow one of her video games and attempt to play it. Eventually I had gotten us some store bought pizza because I dident have any extra pizza dough from the last time that I had made pizza.At one point I even had to allow him to cry out his frustrations on my sholder. Donnie came over rather awkwardly one time to ask for help on how to get April to notice him more than just a friend. It was rather funny because he kept on darting around the bush instead of jumping in on it I had to wait for over twenty minutes just to find out what he wanted to talk about. Once I did I gave him some pointers after I attempted to give him an orientation on how the female mood swings change in comparison. It didn't really go well. He kept on getting confused and saying that one feeling would be illogical to do during that time. He also needed to come over once just to talk all about the science experiment that he was working on and how it exploded. I went to his lab and after I took his mind off his experiment by having a challenging game of chess. I barely won. We went back to working on the experiment together putting two masterminds together on one project . We eventually worked out all of the crinkles in the experient. Raph was the most confusing on the team. He has this strange vision that only weaklings show their true emotions. SO before I could really get to know what was troubling him I had to break those walls. Once I did that then he either wanted to spar at first he was rather hesitant but after I had beaten him a couple times with the difficulty level ever increasing he had agreed to spar with me. Other times he needed a good friend that would allow him to mope around or just rant without any judgement left after of him showing his soft side. I loved it when he showed his soft side to me not only was it a huge privilege it was also because everyone else that I had met haven't met another person who had a special connection to animals that I do. Other times what Raph wanted was someone who would just allow him to cry out his seldom shed tears and not get in his way and hand him Icecream. For some reason both Donnie and Raph are the ones with a secret sugar tooth. Here they are now! I hope that they have come closer to stopping the Kraang with the whole thing of poisoning the water supply. Donnie broke another Bo-Staff. Master Splinter walked into the room quietly. Master Splinter and I have become good friends during my time of knowing him. When I admitted that I had helped his sons individually he was really shocked and said" I a most surprised that I could handle their unique and contrasting personalities. Splinter had also taken the same realization. Donnie was really upset about his broken bo-staff. He told Donnie that ninjas were the masters of adaption. When Donnie suggested an upgrade with some technology.Master Splinter then said" Ah I see you want a solar powered staff."I almost let loose my laughter but I held it all in by biting my bottom lip.I noticed that Leo was starting to stare at me. Master Splinter then started to attempt to share his wisdom as a background noise. He even said don't make combat a video game just before Donnie said"I know i'll make combat a video game!" Internally I sighed. This is why they were the level that they were at they didn't listen to their sensei to confirm what they know. oh well they should learn how to make their mistakes and learn from them. In his excitement he said that he gave himself goosebumps and to prove to his brothers that he really had goosebumps he asked April to feel offering his arm. April politely refused. Donnie went back to his lab to work on a robot that knew ninjutsu to make everything a lot safer for him and his brothers. While he was listing off any idea that had popped into his mind then. He had said plasma swords. Oh! What about improved weapons like Master Splinter had suggested I could use Donnie's idea of plasma swords but instead of doing that I could make plasma weapons for each turtle. Katana for Leo, sai for Raph, a plasma bo-staff with a special formulated wood that would have the same feel as his normal bo-staff and the same weight and retractable blades at the end that are also plasma around it, Obviously nunchucks for Mikey except I would make the chain when he connected it would be a lot longer about five feet. Of course the plasma would be very toxic so I would have to improve it so it would only be hazardous to the enemy. And not his brothers, April,Master Splinter ,or even me. That is perfect I could easily win the science fair with plasma weapons. Then I could give it to everyone! It kills two birds with one stone! That is pure genius! it would be amazing to make but also to wield! Yes I would just need to get Leo' and Master Splinters permission first. I will ask Leo during the cooking and baking lesson. Then I could ask Master Splinter after I have Leos okay that way Master SPlinters vote couldn't sway his original vote. I could give it to them next mutation day! that would be the perfect gift to give them. Thinking of Leo the way that he puts others before himself is just what I look in a boyfriend. HEy I am part turtle after all I can have a human or a mutated turtle if I wanted. But first I have to see how he would treat any living being even his brothers. But not when they really irritate him. He also has to work up the courage to ask me if he wants to that is. If not than I would totally understand of course after all I am according to him a weak human. Easily captured. I am also extra quiet no one wants to have an always calm , quiet person in that way.

Ok so I am so sorry that I can only update this chapter. Schol has been putting on homework on top of homework. SO I am very sorry. On the brighter side of things I have an A- average in school. I am trying to work on getting an average of an A. So yea. I am also going to be on a family camping trip from Friday to Sunday pretty much so that is going to be very fun. Only if I remember to bring like five billion gallons of sunscreen to protect my very fair skin. And in the note book that I have as the rough draft of this story I am now on page 110!!! But I am only on chapter 12. I love to read and write. So far this whole book is exactly ( excluding these turtle notes) 27 pages long, 44,295 characters long including spaces. When you exclude spaces it is 35,840 characters long. So even for me that is a whole lot. It is also only the first book. With the course of the season. I know that I will have to have at least 2 books if not more. So I am happy about that. I also have my Grandma helping me to learn how to sew better for my sewing class that I am in. I will soon have a new purse! And while she is here she is teahing my Dad to make some suger cake toppers that I plan on learning how to make. Today and the next week will be mostly packed with fun for me so I won't have as much time to update this book. I am so super sorry. Never mind about all the fun that I will have my Mom just told me to take out the trash. NOOOO!!! The worst thing in the workld ever! :( Bye.
