Cleo's POV:
It's been a few weeks since the incident with Spike, or Slash now. Me and the guys are all better and Donnie's arm is better now. Right now the guys and I are in the dojo with father for another training. "My children, you are truly becoming impressive warriors. But to grow as a team, you must know each other's strengths and weaknesses." Father said as the guys and I took out our weapons, "Wah! Heh!" Mikey burps in Donnie's face, I can see Donnie's eyes turn red and watery. "Ugh, right in my face! Really?" "Garlic and clam pizza!" Mikey said smiling, "That's gross, Mikey." I said in disgust, I can definitely smell it from here since I'm between Leo and Raph. "This competition is a free-for-all. Last ninja standing wins." Father said, "Hajime!" 

"I'm still seeing spots." Donnie said, not noticing Raph sneaking up behind him and kicks him to the tree. "Sorry, Donnie, it's a ninja-eat-ninja world." Raph said before going after Mikey, who was busy laughing and pointing at Donnie. He gasped when he realized Raph's going after him, he dodges him, and Leo goes after Raph. "What are you doing, Leo? I was going after Mikey." Raph said as he blocks Leo's katanas with his sais. "What part of 'last ninja standing' don't you understand?" Leo pushes Raph towards me and Mikey, but we manage to get out of the way, unfortunately Mikey was out the moment Leo swings his leg under Mikey and he fell on the back of his shell. "Aw, man!" Mikey pouts from the ground. 

"Distraction, misdirection. Powerful weapons in a ninja arsenal." Father said, I stiffed my giggles when I saw Mikey mimicking him before father saw him doing it and Mikey giggled before he went to join with Donnie. "Come on, Cleo," Leo smirks as he and Raph surrounded me, "You can just give up and we'll go easy on you." "Now where's the fun in that?" I said, giving them a sly smirk. Leo swings his katanas, and I blocked them with my kamas and shoved him back just as I dodged an attack from Raph. Raph swings his sai but I blocked it and kicked him back, I backflipped over Leo as he tries to attack me from behind. 

I then took out my tessen and threw it at him at the same time Raph attacks me, I blocked him and knocked one of his sais as he knocked one of my kamas as well. Luckily, my tessen came back and I caught it after I heard a clank, meaning Leo blocked it. I round kicked Raph, but he blocked it. I smirked, I jump and kicked his chin with my other foot, causing him to backup as I backflipped and landed, sliding towards Leo and tripped him by swinging my leg in front of his feet as he tried to do a sneak attack behind me. He yelped and stumbled into Raph as they both yelled and fell on the ground.

"I did it!" I cheered as I stood up and raised my hands up in victory, "Way a' go, Cleo!" Donnie cheered, "You rule sis!" Mikey cheered, "Congratulations Cleopatra." Father smiled as I grabbed my fallen weapon and put them away and I sat before him, feeling proud. Suddenly, I heard growling behind me, "Uh-oh, the beast is awake." I heard Mikey said, "Cleo, look out!" Donnie cried out; I turn to see Raph about to hit me! But I was pushed to the ground, and I look to see Leo on the ground. He must've pushed me out of the way, so Raph doesn't hit me. 

"Leo!" I cried out as I ran over to him to see if he's alright with Mikey and Donnie. "Raph! What are you doing?" Donnie said angrily, "I-I didn't mean to hurt him! It was an accident! Seriously." Raph said, trying to defend himself. Leo slowly sat up as I asked, "Leo, are you okay?" "Did you guys get the number of that bus?" Leo asked as he held his head. Yup, he's okay. "We have spoken about time and again, Raphael." Father scolds, "Anger is a dangerous ally. It clouds your judgement. You need to control it, lest it controls you." "But, Sensei, I wasn't angry! I was just... determined to win." Raph said.

"Mm?" I gave Raph a raised eyebrow look. Leo must've read my mind because he said as Donnie and Mikey helped him up, "How are you determined to win when you could've hurt Cleo?" "What? I said I wasn't angry!" Raph yells and pants with rage. "Raph..." I know he didn't mean to try and hurt me; he was just being Raph. Raph looks at me and groans, walks out of the dojo, no doubt heading for the surface.

"I better go after him." I sighed, I have to make sure he's ok and tell him that I know he didn't mean to try and hurt me on purpose. "Are you kidding, Cleo?" Donnie said, "Raph was trying to hurt you, and you wanna go after him?" "Well, I know he didn't mean to hurt me and Leo!" I yelled as I glare at him, "I'm gonna go check on him whether you guys like it or not!" Before they can say anything, I ran out of the dojo and head to the surface.

I jumped from rooftop to rooftop, trying to find Raph but I couldn't, I tried to call him, but he wouldn't pick up. "Ugh, where is he?" I groaned, "How hard can it be to find a red masked mutant ninja turtle in New York?!" I heard something, sounds like grunts and weapons clashing against each other, "Huh?" I look over the roof to see Raph fighting some guy on the road. "What the-?" "Raph, what did you get yourself into this time?" I soon recognized something about that guy. "Wait..." My eyes widen, "wait... is that Casey?!" I recognized those clothes anywhere! And there's only one guy who loves to play hockey! 

April told me about Casey from time to time, and I only see him when we pass each other in the hallways at school, but never really talked to him. "What are they doing?!" I said in panic, "I better stop them before this gets even more out of hand!" I jump into an alley and saw Raph pinning Casey on the hood of the car. "Gah. That hurt." I heard Casey before Raph stomps his foot on him and yells as he raises his sai in the air, ready to stab his face. He's going to kill Casey! "Raph stop!" I screamed as I reach out my hand, fearing that Raph will accidently kill Casey.

Flex.

I flinched as the lid of the dumpster's slams shut and the trashcans was thrown asides. Shoot, I let my powers out again! "Who's there?" As expected, Raph heard it, I stepped out and Raph's eyes widen. "Cleo?" "Raph! What are you doing?!" I yelled as I pulled him off of Casey. "Wait..." Uh-oh, "You're that girl Red told me about from school!" Casey said with widen eyes as he pointed at me, I forgot to pull my hood over my head and I forgot to wear my ninja mask! Some ninja I am! "How do you know this freak?!" "He's my friend!" I quickly replied, I can't let Jones find out Raph and I are family. Raph raised an eyebrow and was about to say something until I gave him a 'roll with it' look, and he took the hint. "Uhh, yeah. She and I are friends." Raph lies.

"Raph, what were you thinking?!" I said as I turn to him, "You could've killed him!" Raph looks down, sighs and mumbled, "Maybe I do have anger issues." "Maybe?" I said, raised an eyebrow at him with a 'really?' tone. "Ok, I do have anger issues. Happy?" Before I can say anything, I saw headlights from behind Raph and gasps. "Look out!" I yelled as I pushed Raph out of the way in time as a taxi car drove passed us, the driver didn't see us. "This isn't over, you two!" Casey yells as he grabbed the trunk of the taxi and skates away.

"Yeah! You better run or skitch! Whatever!" Raph yells at him and I put my hand on his shell, "Raph, let him go. I think he has enough." I said, Raph sighs and said, "What are you doing out here anyway?" "Let's talk on the roof," I said, "we can't let anyone see us." Raph nodded and we head for the rooftop. Once we made it to the top, I answered, "For your question, I was out here because I went looking for you to make sure you were okay." "What?" Raph looked surprised, "But why? I tried to hurt you, Cleo!" "Tried, not did." I said, "I know you didn't mean to hurt me or Leo, Raph. I know it was an accident." "But if Leo didn't push you out of the way-" "Raph, it's okay. Really." I cut him off, "I know you didn't mean to." I smiled at him, and he smiled back. 

"So how you know that guy?" Raph asked as we drop down in an alley and he moves to manhole cover, "His name is Casey Jones." I said, "He goes to the same school with me and April." I said as I jump down the hole with Raph following and closed the cover behind him. "We don't talk to each other, but April did tell me about him sometimes whenever he's around, and we do see each other a lot at school."

"No wonder he recognized you back there." Raph said. "No doubt Casey is going to asked me about tonight tomorrow." I said, already having a bad feeling forming in my stomach, "And if he does, you can't tell him about us." Raph said, "Do you think I was born yesterday?" I said rhetorically, "Obviously I won't tell him that or the others, but don't tell the guys about what happened tonight." "Way ahead of you." Raph said as we made our way back to the lair, I just hope Raph didn't beat Casey up too badly.

Three days later, at school, the bell rings as April and I left our classroom with another girl April befriended named Irma to our next class. To be honest, when April introduced me to Irma, I always get an off feeling about her. But being a good friend, I never told April about it, so I kept it to myself. As we walked to classes, we saw Casey at his locker. "Well, well. Casey Jones finally makes it to class. What a surprise." April said, doesn't sound very surprised.

I don't blame her, from what April told me, Casey is hardly in any classes we have with him on time, or he skips it. "Ready for the big trig exam?" Oh, did I forget to mention there's a trig exam today? It's a good thing Donnie and April helped me study or else I would've failed. "Trig exam?" Casey closed his locker, "Oh, yeah! I was up all-night studying." When he turned around to face us, I was surprised that his face was covered in scars, bruises, and band-aids. Yeesh, Raph must've beaten him up worse than I thought.

"Really? Did your homework punch you in the face?" April teases with a smirk, "I had, um, uh, late-night hockey practice." Casey lied, "Isn't the rink closed after dark ever since that mysterious fight broke out there a few weeks back?" Irma asked, "So how exactly did you get those bruises, Casey? Hmm?" What is she? Casey's interrogator? "What are you, Irma, my interrogator?" Casey said, glaring at her. Irma glares at him as she shakes her head, she grabs April's arm and drags her as I followed behind. I felt a hand on my arm and turns me around to face Casey. "So how do you know that freak?" 

I knew he was gonna ask me about Raph, "What are you talking about?" I asked, pretending to be dumb as I slightly titled my head to the side. "Dude, you knew his name and said you two are friends. You know what I'm talking about." Casey pointed out, "Oohh, you mean Raph." "Yeah, so how do you know him?" "Uh..." I have to think of something fast! "Uh, I met him a few weeks ago." I lied, "I was on my way home from school when I ran into the purple dragons. Then Raph saved me." "Really?" Casey raised an eyebrow at me, "Yeah, uh, look, I gotta go, I don't want to be late for class." I said before quickly walked away to my next class. I hope he bought it. 

After school, as April and I walked back to the lair, I told her what really happened to Casey's face as I keep looking back to make sure he wasn't following us. "Is that what really happened to his face?" April asked shocked, "Yeah, you should've seen it last night. Raph would've killed him for sure if I didn't show up to stop him in time." I said as I opened the manhole cover and went in with April, closing it behind us. We entered the lair and April went into the dojo to train with father as I went into my room and changed out of my casual clothes into my ninja gear, and this time I made sure I was wearing my ninja mask. 

I walked out of my room and sat down on the beanbag. "Hey Cleo," Donnie said, "how did the exam go?" "Alright, I guess." I spoke. Mikey jumps and sits next to Donnie as he spilled some popcorn on him. "Yo! You ready for 48 hours of mega-thrusting, evil-fighting, galaxy-saving-super Santai action?" "You bet, bro." I said as he tosses me a can of soda. "I was until you spilled greasy popcorn all over me!" Donnie yells at him, Mikey picks a popcorn from his nose and ate it, "My bad." I giggled and continued watching SRMFF. "Hey, Leo." I overheard Raph and turn to see him and Leo, who just got out of his room.

"You got a minute?" "I was gonna check out Super Robo Mecha Force." "Cool! So, here's the deal. See, I- Me- Ah. I'm, um..." Raph whispers something that I can't hear, "What was that?" "I said I was sorry." Leo tries to hear Raph, and Raph said, "Sorry! Okay? Sorry!" Raph yells, and I can tell the look on Mikey and Donnie's faces that what Raph said was unbelievable, and I don't blame them. Raph hardly apologizes for anything. "I thought I had my anger under control. Turns out I didn't. But now I do, seriously." "He means for now." Mikey said, "I give him ten more seconds." "Mikey..." I tried to warn him, but he starts counting down.

"9, 8, 7," "What are you saying, Raph?" "6," "It's not that you are angry, "5," "but we make you angry?" Leo asked, "4," "I never said that." Raph said, "3, 2, 1." "SHUT UP!" Raph yells, as if the impact of the yell blew the popcorn away. "Bing, bing, bing. We have a winner!" I facepalmed, I swear they never learn, Raph pants in anger and storm off, "Raph, wait." Leo calls out to Raph, "I was just busting your shell. Come on, hang out." "Ah, let the big green baby go." I saw Raph grab one of his throwing stars and threw it at Mikey's popcorn bag and spilled it on both Mikey and Donnie, who both are doing a fist bump, and leaves the lair. "I am surrounded by idiots." I mumbled under my breath as Leo sat down and Donnie and Mikey wiped the popcorn off of them, or in Mikey's case, picking the popcorn pieces off of him and eat them, before we all turn back to the TV.

3rd Person's POV:
Cleo, Donnie, Mikey and Leo are watching the scene when Super Robo Mecha Force's enemy broke into their lair.

"It can't be! Our great enemy!" Princess said, the monkey screeches in fear as Link said, "Yes, squeakums. It's Cyberoid X!" "Ha, ha, ha! I have invaded the secret Mecha Force lair of Super Robo Mecha Force five team five." The robot uses his laser to trap the four members in bubbles. "Oh, no! He has trapped us in many force bubbles. Captain Dash, what are we going to do? Ah!" Captain Coolstar somehow slaps the poor boy through the bubbles. "Calm down, Dr. Blip. Team, I have created powerful shame for the rest of you. But I shall not give up, not now, not ever!" He stiffs when their enemy points a canon at him, "What about now, sir?"

"Oh, come on. How can one guy infiltrate Super Robo Mecha headquarters?" Leo asked, "He used his laser tentacle to shut down the defense systems. Duh." Mikey said as Raph walks through the turnstiles and said, "You guys watch so much TV, your brains are gonna rot." "Yay, Raph's back." Donnie said dully, Raph rolls his eyes and Casey peeked around the turnstiles and whispers, "There's four of 'em?" Then he noticed Cleo, "Hey, it's blondie again, does she know them too?" "You cool off yet, man?" Leo asked, "I'm always cool. Move over." Donnie moves aside and Raph sat down. Casey gets up to try and get a closer look, but his hockey stick bumps into the empty pizza boxes. 

Cleo heard the shuffling of something moving the pizza boxes, and turns to see Casey catches the pizza box, but not the fork as it hits the ground. "Guys, I'm gonna get something in the kitchen." Cleo said, distracting her brothers who all heard the sound of a fork dropping too, "Ok, Cleo." Leo said, Cleo got up and instead of going into the kitchen, she walks over to the turnstiles and whispers in anger, "What are you doing here, Jones?!" Casey jumps and saw Cleo glaring at him. "I can ask you the same thing!" Casey whispers angrily, "What are you doing here?!" "Dude, you should not be here! Go home!" "Why should I?! How do you know them?!" "Casey, will you just go already?! You're gonna get caught!"

The guys were wondering why Cleo was taking so long, so they look over their shoulders and Donnie yells, "An intruder!" Cleo turns around to see her brothers staring at them, "Oh, man." Casey said, "You again?! Get away from her!" Raph yells, Casey jumps over and tries to attack with his hockey stick, but Raph uses his sais to rip it from him and Donnie and Mikey grabbed his arms so he can't escape as Raph pushes Cleo behind him. "You know this guy, Raph?" Mikey asked, "Get your stinkin' paws off me!" Casey struggles.

"Guys, let him go!" Cleo said, they ignored her as Leo removes his mask, and Casey growls at him as Leo and Raph screamed, "It's face paint." Leo said, realized what's on Casey's face, "He's just a kid!" "Let go of me, you stupid reptiles!" Casey yells just as Master Splinter and April exits the dojo. "Always trust your instincts, April. A well-honed intuition can be sharper than your eyes." "Yes, Sensei. I'll-" "Guys, let him go!" Cleo screams at them as she pushes Raph out of the way and pulls Casey away from her brothers.

April saw Casey and said in shock, "Casey?!" "You know this guy?/You know these guys?" April stood next to Cleo as she said, "Don't hurt him, he's our friend!" "Casey, what are you doing here?" April asked him, "I was asking him the same thing earlier." Cleo said as she crosses her arms, "A better question is, how do you two know these freaks?" "These are the um," April looked at Cleo and the guys before back at Casey, "other friends I told you about."

"Wait," Casey was confused, "so they're not the bad guys?" "No way!" April sighs and began the introduction, "Casey Jones, meet Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo," "What up?" Mikey greeted, only for Raph reached up and smacked the back of Mikey's head. which annoyed him while Raph shook his head in irritation, "the one and only Raphael, and you already know Cleopatra." Cleo smiles sheepishly at him.

"So, the turtles are all Italian? And isn't blondie named after some ancient queen?" Casey asked, "And your friends with them?" Casey asked again, this time, to Cleo. She knew there's no point in hiding the truth anymore, so she said, "Well, actually-" "She's our sister." Mikey said as he wraps his arm around her. "What? Sister?" Casey was shocked, how can she be related with four mutant turtles?

"But you're a human." Cleo sighs and said, "Technically, my father found me abandoned as a baby and raised me which makes me their adopted sister, but yeah." "Who's your father?" "I am." Casey was shocked when he saw Master Splinter. "I named my sons after my favorite painters and sculptors of the Italian renaissance while I named my daughter after the last ruler of Ancient Egypt." Master Splinter said as he held two books in each hand.

One with the title 'HISTORY OF RENATASSANCE ART' while the other with the title 'The Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt'. Casey gasped, screamed as he pointed at Splinter before falling flat on his back, apparently fainted. "Casey?" Cleo kneeled down to pick Casey up and started shaking him. "Casey? Casey Jones, wake up!" she slapped him across the face, finally waking him up, "Casey, this is my father, Master Splinter." Cleo introduced her father, "You do not have to fear me, my friend. Rest assured; I do not bite." Casey didn't look convinced. "He's a giant t-t-talking rat?" Raph laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, Big bad vigilante's afraid of rats." 

Mikey took this opportunity to pick a roach up off the ground with his finger and hold it close to Raph's face. As soon as he noticed, he screamed and leapt into the air, retracting into his shell before falling onto the ground. "Hahaha, just like you and cockroaches, huh, Raph?" Cleo giggled at their antics while managing to get Casey back to his feet. He gave Sensei a nervous look before looking over at the blonde haired kunoichi. "A-are they always like this?" he asked, stuttering. "Pretty much," Cleo said. "You should see them on a bad day." Suddenly, April groaned as she clutched her head. They all stopped and turned to look at her. "What is it, April?" Splinter asked, "Sensei, we're not alone." Everyone looks up to see...

Cleo's POV:
Footbots?! The lair was suddenly swarming with Footbots, all standing in different corners of the room and on the ceiling. They were staring at us with red, soulless eyes. We took out our weapons as the footbots jumped down from the ceiling and took out their weapons, "Raph, you led the enemy right to our lair?!" Leo asked accusingly, "It's the kid's fault!" Raph defended himself, "He was following me."

"My fault?" Casey glares at him before Mikey yells, "Booya-ka-shaaa!" Mikey whacks a footbot with his chucks, Leo sliced one, and Donnie stabbed one but was kicked and father caught him. "You're the one who did this." Raph said, "They followed you too, dude!" Casey said, "Don't "dude" me, dude." "You dudes better stop fighting each other like a bunch of little kids, or else you're gonna end up getting your heads chopped off!" I yelled at them as I use my kamas to slice and chop the footbots' heads off. 

"Hey! He'll give away our location!" I hear Donnie, I turn to see one of the footbots' eye glow red as if it's scanning the lair. "Don't let that robot escape." Father said, "Casey Jones is on it." Casey said as he ran after it, but Raph shoves him out of the way. "Tell Casey Jones I don't need his help." "I better go help them, so they won't kill each other." I said before I ran after them, and jump over the turnstiles and saw Raph threw a grappling hook at the footbot, but caught Casey instead and pulls him back, "What are you doing?" "Me? You got in my way!" "Come on guys," I said as I ran past them, "we can't lose him, or he'll get away!"

We ran after the footbot until more dropped down, "Where'd he go?" Casey said, we took out our weapons and start slicing, stabbing and hitting the footbots as Raph said, "That bot gets back to Karai and gives away our hideout, you answer to Splinter." "The rat?" "Who else?" I said, I spotted one running off, that's the one we're looking for! "There he is!" I yelled, getting Raph's and Casey's attention.

Casey grabs a spray can from his back, he shook it and took off the lid with the mouth of his mask and spit it out as the can let out a hiss, he threw it at the bot and it exploded, leaving yellow paint, but it didn't do any damage. "Yes!" "Next time, tag it with a real grenade!" "Calm down! At least we know which one we're looking for!" I said as we got rid of the other bots before we chased after the one we want. We kept running and Casey went pass me and Raph, he must've put on skates, "Faster, guys!" 

"We don't have skates like you, Jones!" I said as we kept running. I heard rumbling and screeching, and before I get the chance to see what it is, "Whoa!" Let out Casey as he pushes me and Raph out of the way in time as the subway train went passed us. "You two okay?" Casey asked us, "Yeah, thanks." I said as Raph nods, "There he is!" Raph said, pointing at the footbot on top of the subway, we look at each other and smirked before we all jumped on top of the footbot, our weapons hit as the footbot flew passed us, and we attacked it as we ducked under, jumped over and ducked again under the pipes, the bot knocked Casey and he would've fell off the train if I didn't grabbed his arms, but Raph grabbed me so I wouldn't fall too and pulled us back on the train.

"Thanks, guys." "No problem." "Now we're even." We saw the footbot jumped and crashed through the windows of the subway bridge and Casey jumps through the hole with me following behind him as we attacked the footbot, Raph must've taken the stairs because he showed up a few seconds later to join us. "I can take this robot down myself." Casey said as he jumps over Raph and skated down the bars of the staircase after Raph kicked the bot down the stairs. Raph and I jumped down, and I threw one of my kamas at the bot as Raph threw one of his sais at him and pinned him against the pillar, but it broke free and lost both his arms since my kama stabbed his right arm while Raph's sai stabbed his left arm.

Raph and I grabbed our weapons from the pillar and the three of us jumped over the turnstiles and saw the bot running up the stairs. "He's going for the street!" Casey yells, "We can't let him get away!" I yelled as I ran up the stairs, Casey jumps to catch up, I helped him by grabbing his gloved hand and use all my strength to throw him at the bot and he used his stunner to electrify the footbot. The bot fell down the stairs and Raph threw his sai at the footbot's head, powering him down for good. 

"That was... too close." Casey said as he and I panted, try to catch our breath. "You're a pretty good fighter, Jones." Raph said, "Sure, you're raw, unfocused, dangerous, crazy!" Raph took his sai out of the footbot and smirk, "But not bad." "Thanks." Casey removes his mask, "You're not so bad yourself." Raph raised his hand and gripped Casey's. He gripped him tighter. Raph tightened his gripped and pushed him slightly, and he smirked. "For an amphibian." Boys.

"Guys..." They let go and they both laughed as I rolled my eyes but smiled. "Hey Raph, can you go on ahead?" I asked, "I need to talk to Casey for a bit." Raph looks hesitated, he looks at me then Casey, who nods at him. Raph nodded and walked back home. "I think I have a pretty good idea what you wanna talk about." Casey said as he turns to me. "Yeah," I said, feeling guilty, "I'm sorry I never told you the truth, but I have to lie to keep my family safe." "It's fine," Casey said, "I would've done the same thing if I was in your shoes." 

"Yeah. And I know this is a lot to ask, but can you keep my family being mutants and us being ninjas a secret?" I asked, "No one can know about this, if anyone else you knew does know, they would be in danger if our enemies find out about them." Casey looks down for a second before looking up at me and said with a smile, "Don't worry blondie, I won't tell a soul." I smiled, sighing with relief and said, "Thanks Casey." We walked back to the lair to catch up with Raph as Casey said, "By the way, the way you fought back there was awesome, I've seen ninja fights in movies, but yours is over the top!" "Thanks." I giggled. "You should see me when I'm really trying."

I don't know how much time passed, but we made it back home as Raph said, "Dude, the way we chased that thing down!" "And what about when I shocked it with my stunner?" Casey said, "How cool was that?" "Hey, don't forget the subway chase. That was the awesomest part!" I said, "Huh?" We noticed that everyone already took down the footbots. "Aww, what's up? No more robots left for me, Cleo and Raph?" Casey asked as he puts his arm on Raph's shoulder, "Whoa! Okay. What's up with you three? You're like best friends forever now or something?" Mikey asks as he folds his arms, "Gah!" Casey hides behind me as father approached us. "I see you have found a new ally, Raphael and Cleopatra." "Yeah, Casey's cool." Raph said as I smiled at Casey.  "Thank you for helping my family." Father thanked him.

"No problem, rat dude. Wasn't a bad warm-up. But now it's time to clean the scum off the streets." Raph playfully shoves Casey, "Let's do this!" They hit their foreheads against each other, "Yeah!" They laughed as I rolled my eyes with a smile, "Great." Donnie whimpered, "You know what this means, right?" "Raph made a new friend?" I asked. "Worse!" he shuddered before yelling, "Now we have TWO Raphaels!" 

Mikey and Leo's eyes widened, and they groaned in irritation. Even April seemed concerned with the idea. I rolled my eyes at Donnie's dramatics and turned to look at Raph and Casey, only to see them pounding fists and yelling in each other's faces, clearly pumped up and ready to go. They laughed and hollered as they happily turned and leapt over the turnstiles, off to who knows where. "And what's wrong with that?" I asked the others, smiling after the two boys. Something tells me that with Casey around, things are gonna be a lot more fun and interesting.
