"And to think today started out so well," you say sarcastically rolling your eyes. Another mission down the damn drain because of the foot princess, "What is it with you and constantly trying to capture people? How many times do you have to have your ass kicked to realize that it aint going to happen?" You ask staring Karai down. "The difference is that this time I won't be waiting for them to see it. While they're occupied with the Krang and my footbots there won't be any one to save you." She answered weilding a naginata."Don't get cocky Karai I'm not your ordinary damsel in distress," you say drawing your tanto. Charging you side stepped using her own momentum to your advantage, grabbing her wrist and twisting it you used her own arm to block her other. But a swift kick put enough distance between you for her to stab at you with her weapon, dodging by the skin of your nose you high tail it down the hall. "I don't even want to know if this day can or will get any worse..." You sigh trying to loose the crazy kunoichi. "I don't get it... even though I'm friends with the turtles and April wouldn't her focus be on someone else?" You ask yourself making your way to higher ground. It has been nearly a year since you've met the turtles, with a slight bitterness and jealousy growing of April. You hadn't expressed it to anyone that you had a crush on the guy who obsesses over her, Donnie. It made you extremely angry to see how she'd act around him in a sort back and forthing between him and Casey. But now isn't the time to dwell on such petty thoughts, right now you had to help rescue April and escape the princess of the foot. "There isn't anywhere to run," Karai smirked cutting you off. "Great could this get anymore cliché?" You ask looking around the catwalk. Again locked in battle with the vengeful girl you cursed your luck. "(Y/N)!" You heard Donnie's voice call. Your (E/C) orbs travelled to the source of the sound only for a moment before you were knocked back by Karai. "Oh good at least one can watch. And the one it'd effect the most at that!" Karai exclaimed with delight as she kicked you back. Sliding on your back you held up your tanto to block the balde from coming down on you. "What're you talking about, he's in love with April..." You say struggling to force the weapon back. "You really are blind!" Karai laughed before you managed to throw her off. "Donnie! April!" You heard there voices as April was caught by a group of Krang, Donnie was cornered and unable to help.

With a deep breath you cursed your own heart as you balanced on the railing of the catwalk throwing many shuriken and even your tanto saving April. "Fool you threw away your own weapon to help her?" Karai asked hitting you with the staff end of the naginata. Twisting back to see her amused and satisfied face watching you fall backward, your eyes widened in surprise. "I may have been jealous... but I could never be so petty as to let something happen to her...." You thought to yourself as you closed your eyes accepting the consequences of your actions. "(Y/N)!" You heard your name being called but you didn't want to open your eyes, suddenly you made impact not feeling exactly how you thought you would. Opening your mouth you quickly regretted it as it began to fill with a thick liquid, trying to swim up you felt yourself being tugged down. "Great couldn't be over quickly... I just had to drown..." you thought to yourself trying to force yourself up. "Who am I kidding? Struggling will only make it worse..." You conclude letting your mind fade black. "I love this movie," you shouted arguing with Mikey. "But it's just a lame fairy tale!" He shouted fighting you for the remote. "I don't care... I'm watching it!" You struggled to keep the remote from his grasp. "I didn't know you were into princess stories," Raph teased quirking a brow making you blush. "Fiona is not just another one of THOSE princesses. Sure she gets rescued but only because she chose to wait for her "true love". So what ever," You sigh tossing the remote on the couch in defeat. "You say it like they don't get together," Raph stated stuffing his face with popcorn. "Well... they do, but it's not the average someone who is ugly gets turned beautiful. Instead she becomes an ogre to be with him," you shrug tracing a circle on your knee. "And you like that sort of thing?" He asked eyeing you. "Why does loves true form have to be some beautiful human?" You ask with your (E/C) orbs meeting his green gaze. He simply shrugged and you sighed running a hand through your (H/C) hair. "As long as she is happy being with the guy she loves it shouldn't matter what they look like... or are." You smile to yourself before glancing over at Donnie's lab. "Even if the monster chooses a different Princess to love." You think to yourself turning to an episode of Mech Force Five.

Opening your eyes and with a new found strength you swim to the top climbing out of the mutagen. Coughing up the disgusting liquid hunched over the rim of the vat, heaving trying to breath while your body forces out the goop. "You knocked me... in a vat of mutagen?" You ask angrily making your way back to high ground. "(Y/N)..." Donnie muttered looking to the spilled mutagen. Slowly picking off a few footbots you find Karai fighting with Leo trying to get at April. "Karai!" You shout pouncing on her. The both of you tumble before seperating in fighting stances. Her eyes widened at the sight of you but after shaking her head she charged at you, grabbing the naginata and using it to haul her over head you kicked her back. Growling you hold the naginata straight, raising your knee under it snapping it in half and tossing it away. Deciding she'd get away while she was ahead she tossed a smoke pellet and fled, leaving you with the stares of April and Leo. "(Y/N)?" April asked eyeing you up and down. "Is it bad?" You ask hesitating before looking down to your green three fingered hand. "Um... no. Just surprising," Leo reassured. "Am I... a?" You start before Mikey runs up and shouts. "Another turtle!" He yells pointing directly at you. "A turtle?" You ask feeling light headed your surroundings slowly spinning and quickly picking up speed. "(Y/N)?" Raph asks squinting at the sound of your voice. Suddenly you feel numb and everything goes black. "Is she going to be ok?" You hear Leo's voice ask. "She should be fine... she just fainted," Donnie answered. "Yeah but what about her..." Raph started as your eyes fluttered open. "Guys... what happened? I had the weirdest dream...." You mutter trying to sit up. "Easy." Donnie said stopping you. The feel of him leaning over you with his hands on your shoulders made you blush, the sight of his face hovering just above yours with the tails of his mask dangling over his shoulder was breath taking, slowly you melted loosing yourself in those chocolate pools. "Are you alright?" He asked but his words were muffled by your own heart beat. The others tried to reach you but only Donnie's voice was the only one to make it. Reaching up you stop yourself and move to brush your (H/L) from your face, blinking frequently trying to focus. "Y-yeah. I'm fine," you finally manage sitting up and moving to stand. Donnie offered his help but you silently shook your head taking a few deep breaths you followed the brothers back to the lair.

After explaining to Master Splinter just what happened you were invited to stay with them. Exiting the dojo you gave a small smile to Mikey and Raph who sat on the couch. Leo stayed behind to talk with Splinter, Donnie had slumped into his lab and hasn't left since you'd gotten there. Worrying of him forgetting to eat you grabbed a plate and headed for his lab. "Donnie?" You ask peeking your head in to find him with his head in his hands, papers and writing utensils were strewn about as if in a fit of anger had been swept off the desk where his elbows were planted. "A-are you okay?" You ask setting the plate down and resting a hand on his shoulder. He jumped at your touch but quickly relaxed, it took a while before he lifted his head to meet your eyes, guilt and sadness filled them til they were over flowing. "What is the..." You start but Donnie pulled you down and wrapped his arms around you. "I am so sorry. I swear that I won't rest until I can formulate another batch of retro mutagen...." He said tightening his grip on you. "...Why?" You asked trying to glance over at his face. "What?" He asked loosening his grip to look at you. "You're assuming that I want you to fix me. Why? .... Maybe I don't want to go back," You say shrugging your shoulders. "B-but... why not?" He asked looking down into your (E/C) orbs. "Maybe I'll love being a turtle..." You whisper losing yourself in those chocolate orbs. Slowly you wrap your arms around his neck feeling him once again tense up, his eyes widen with fear as you close the distance between your lips. Normally you'd reprimand yourself but you just couldn't hold it back any longer... the thought of you not expressing your true feelings was scary. You held yourself there for a little while and pulled away when it finally registered that he wasn't kissing back. "Sorry." You mutter before being tackled to the ground. Donnie's lips hungrily dominating yours making you squeak from surprise. Rather than question it you simply wrap your arms back around him and enjoy the feeling... that is until you have the dire need for air. Choking on your own saliva as you sit up on the couch knocking over your bowl of popcorn, you take in your surroundings. Looking down to your perfectly un-mutated hand and face palming. "It was just a dream..." You mutter slumping over to clean up the mess you made and to pull out the old VHS from the tape player. "Maybe... one day I'll tell him." You sigh glancing over to the currently vacant lab. "Maybe."
