"Well if it isn't the PD's," I said. The dragons turned around.

"Hey, your that girl, Shredder's daughter?" Hun said.

"My dad's mentioned me huh?" I said.

"Yep, he's looking for ya," Hun continued, stepping towards us,"offered a great reward."

"Wow, now I'm wanted?" I said, taking a stance. Casey took out his hockey stick.

"Hey, no fighting in here!" The coffee shop owner said, "I'm calling the cops!"

"Victoria!" Casey said, "we have ten minutes until English ends!"

"We're gonna walk away from a good fight?" I asked.

"The cops are coming!" The owner said.

"Ok, let's go, I don't want to go to jail," I muttered, "this isn't over!" I said to the purple dragons.

Casey and I arrived back to school. We ran inside, just as the bell had rung. We parted ways and we headed to our next class.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I got back to the lair, and crashed on the couch. The guys arrived and I turned to see what had happened.

"Eww, Mikey what happened?" I saw Mikey, covered in giant pimples.

"The idiot, decided to cover himself in some retro mutagen," Raph explained.

"So, can it be reversed?" I asked.

"Yeah, but Donnie need this center fudge thing, and Blaxter Stilkman took it," Mikey said.

"Guys, we need to find him, where would Dogpound take him?" Leo said.

"Maybe back to Baxter's lab?" Mikey said.

"Why would he go there?" Leo asked.

"Well, I'm trying to help," Mikey complained, I tuned them out for a minute. Thinking about random stuff.

"Guys? Where's Mikey?" I asked them, snapping out of my thoughts I noticed he was gone.

"What?" Donnie said.

"Where could he have go- oh no," Leo said.

"He must've went to Stickman's lab, Donnie said.

"Ok, how about you guys, oh I don't know go after him?!?" I suggested. I had too much makeup work to go with them.

"Good idea, c'mon let's move," Leo said. They left, I was alone.

I headed into my room and started, to work on my assignments.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up in the middle of the night. I couldn't sleep, so I decided to try and sneak out.

I got to the manhole when someone spoke up.

"Where are ya going this late?"

"Nowhere, go back Raph." I said, I turned around to see Raph standing there with his arms crossed.

"Why? Are ya leaving?" He asked.

"No, I just needed some fresh air, and to clear my mind," I said.

"Yeah? Well me too, c'mon I'll go with a ya," he said.

"Fine," I snapped.

We got to the rooftops. We sat on a building ledge and just talked for a while.

"Raph? What if I never left that orphanage? Where would I be?" I asked him.

"Probably, with Shredder. But don't think about it, your with us. So that better not change, or I'll have to kill ya," he said.

"Don't worry, after what I found out about my mother there's no way, I'm ever joining him," I said.

"Ya know, when you left that first night over a month ago," Raph said,"I tried to convince Leo that we needed to go after ya, so that you wouldn't tell anyone. I even tried to convince him we had to kill ya."

I grinned, "really? What changed your mind"

"Well, until, you saved my shell the other night, I was glad we never did," Raph said looking at me.

"I'm glad, too," I said smiling.

We stared at each other for a few seconds, then we started to lean in. The kiss lasted a few seconds.

Raph pulled away. "Umm, sorry, I shouldn't have do-" I cut him off.

"No, don't... friends?" I said.

"Friends," he agreed.

We got up about to leave, when I had an idea. I stepped forward one foot. The roof frozen. It was like an ice rink.

"Wow, your starting to get the hang or your powers," Raph said.

"Yeah, but barely," I said. Then I tried to walk forwards, but I slipped and fell. Raph caught me.

"Woah," he said, "ya can't skate? Can ya?"

"What? Yes I can, it's just... Ok fine no," I gave in.

"Her, I'll teach ya," Raph said. He took both of my hands and for the next hour he tried to teach me how to skate.

After a while, I finally got the hang of it. The only thing is, I couldn't stop just yet. I was skating around, when ran into Raph. I landed on top of him.

"Ooof, sorry," I said. I got up and helped him.

"It's fine, c'mon we better head back, it's 3:30 in the morning," Raph said.

I groaned, "I think I'll skip school tomorrow,"

"Ya sure?" Raph said,"pretty sure Leo ain't gonna like that."

"Well he better get used to it," I said. I unfroze the roof and we headed back down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, I woke up to the smell of toast and eggs. I got up and changed.

"Mikey, your pimples are gone," I commented as I entered the kitchen.

"Yep, Donnie got the center fudge and made me cute again," Mikey said.

"Um, Mikey in order to be cute again, you had to be cute in the first place," I told him.

"Finally, someone who agrees with me," Raph said walking in.

Leo and Donnie followed. We all sat at the table.

"Ok, so what are we gonna do today?" I said.

"We? You have school," Leo said.

"I can skip, I did it yesterday," I said.

"What? When?" Leo asked.

"Casey and I skipped English, we ran into some Purple Dragons, too" I explained.

"And, were you hurt?" Donnie asked.

"No, we didn't get a chance to fight. Plus, Hun mentioned that my father has a reward for whoever brings me to him," I said.

"Ok, that's too dangerous, you can't go back," Leo said.

"Not today, but I'll still keep going to school," I said

"Leo, besides it's the Purple Dragons, they couldn't hurt a fly," Raph said.

"See? Raph even agrees, c'mon, I need to train a bit," I said.

"Fine," Leo said.

"Thanks," I said.

The rest of the day, was mostly me training with my Kamas. I needed a change, sure I was really skilled with them, but I've always wanted a katana. It's been my dream weapon, plus I like change.

It was getting late. The guys had gone out on patrol, they wouldn't let me go with them.

"Please," I begged Leo.

"No, it's too dangerous," Leo said.

"C'mon, I can take care of myself," I said.

"No, it's best you stay here," Leo said.

"Whatever," I muttered an stormed off into my room.

They never let me go with them. It's too dangerous, they say, your being hunted by the Shredder.

I hated when they used those lame excuses.

Casey and April came over.

"What's wrong with you?" Casey asked.

"I'm just mad, that the guys think it's too dangerous for me to go out there. I have awesome ninjutsu skills, plus mutant powers I'm pretty sure I can handle myself," I grumbled.

"That sucks," Casey said, "but I know how you feel."

"Sure you do," I said.

"Actually, I do too," April said, "look, my dad was mutated. The only reason I forgave them was because I heard about you. I thought you'll need my help, and then Casey found out about the turtles."

"Oh, you blamed them for mutating your father?" I asked.

"Yeah, but that's in the past. The guys won't let me go on any patrols, I hat being on the side lines." April said.

For once I agreed. The turtles thought I couldn't handle myself, I had to prove them wrong.
