Hey everyone! I bet you missed me and Scarlett and and our other buds, TMNT. Lots of fanfiction writers always say they're bad at sequels, but I'm exactly the opposite! Anyways, I gave this sequel lots of thought and I know almost exactly every single thing I'm gonna do. My story lines are never created without thought and we have some pretty googood ideas here, my assistants both approved the idea of someone having a birthday and of a Christmas special where Casey and Donnie have a "mistletoe war." I watched a few episodes of season two so I'm prepared to create this fanfiction. The fun thing about having characters like Casey Jones added in, is because then I can add more dares like in Ouran High School Host Club! XD. Anyway, like always enjoy.

"It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one."

-George Harrison

Bob Joe was working late one night at his office.

It had been almost two months ever since the alien invasion. There were lots of remnants to go through and to file information for.

Bob sighed. He hated working late.

His mind began to wander and he wondered what his wide was making thier kids for dinner.

This made Bob think about food.

And food made Bob hungry.

And hunger gave Bob all the more reason to finish up this job.

Bob started going through files in his computer, figuring out whether any property must be returned to thier owners, whoever they were. Bob did not care much.

Bob sipped his coffee, typing rapidly.

He was almost done. When, his eye saw on the screen a picture of one of the remnants of the invasion. This one was strange because it was found on dry land. Most of these things were in the bottom of the ocean.

He looked closely. It was a beautiful grandfather clock.

Why would aliens want this? Bob thought. He shrugged. Maybe it belonged to someone, which made this all more surprising and confusing.

He looked in the history files of the object. It was last owned by a man, Harold O'Neil. He was dead now, or so people thought.

He looked through Harold O'Neil ' s files. He found lots of things were classified.

Bob decided to call the office about this, and the office decided to look into it.

After that, the clock was none of Bob's buisness. But he still wondered what had become of it.

A few weeks afterwards, he called the office to ask what had happened to the clock.

They informed him that the clock would be returned to its owner.

But wasn't the owner deceased?

No, it seemed the former owner had a kin whom was to inherit the clock in his will.

Scarlett O'Neil.

I yawned.

School was always so boring and sometimes I wondered why I enrolled in school in the first place.

My seat was next to a window. The sun leaking through was so warm that I just wanted to cuddle up into a ball and sleep.

I yawned again.

It had been a whole three months now ever since the Kraang invasion.

I smiled, recalling the nice old memories.

After the invasion, everyone was looking for the heroes for weeks, but eventually the commotion died down.

I sighed, I started to look down at my new outfit.

I wore my hair down nowdays, with my big red ribbon in a bow on one side. I had a red leather jacket, and a blue shirt underneath. I had a light red skirt and my same big red boots. My bracelet was always kept at the lair now, I felt it was safer there.

I sighed again.

Everything now was always so normal now.

Of course, that didn't mean New York was quite safe just yet. Everyone was very aware that there were still bad guys out there, and as long as bad guys existed, no one was truly safe.

Nevertheless, at least things were more or less peaceful.

I even decided to enroll in school. Enrolling in school was one of the hardest things I had to do, considering I had no parents and that my "Guardian(s)" were not exactly allowed to be seen.

Mikey also hated the fact that things would be "boring" again.

I still enrolled though.

I explained everything Zoey had told me to the turtles and they weren't sure what to expect from it.

We all came up with a solution though, Zoey was definitely gone.

You can only tolerate living with boys for so long.

After Zoey left, things were really different I didn't have my best friend around anymore.

Her things were all put in storage, I wondered if she would ever come back like she promised, but she didn't.

Uncle Kirby insisted April stay in the house, he had been having nightmares of the invasion. I felt bad for him.

He would've locked me up too, if i hadn't persuaded him that I was perfectly fine living in the lair.

Besides that, I felt like April and Donnie seemed to be closer than ever before. It was strange having two people you know really well to be all close around you in a way they never had before. Well I guess that's life.

The boredom in the lair gave me all the more reason to enroll in school.

Lots of people were nice to me, they knew me through April, so them actually meeting me was a pleasure.

The school bell rang.

Finally, class was over.

I sat just a while longer, long enough to just look out the window a while longer.

And then, in the next moment, I started gathering up my books. I tried to do it quickly, the sooner I gathered my books into my backpack, the sooner I could get home.

Today was a special day.

"Scarlett!" Called a male voice from across the room.

In my mind, I groaned.

I turned to see a skinny boy, who was fifteen, about my age. He had green eyes.

He also wore thick glasses, he had brown shaggy hair, and he had jeans, a tucked in shirt, and a jacket (since it was starting to get colder in New York.)

Meet Elliot. He's your average geek. He's in computer class, and chemistry. He's got good looks (I guess) and he's really smart. He is good at video games and likes comics. He also wears thick, rectangular glasses. (He is sometimes seen without them though)

On the first day of school, we met and I was not particularly looking for new friends, but we met in chemistry class. He was amazed at how I knew what to do. To be honest, I gained more knowledge from Donnie.

Ever since, he had been following me around. He hugged me a lot and he always seemed to want to be helping me. It was pretty annoying, but he was my friend now.

"Hi Scarlett." Elliot said to me now.

"Hi." I muttered.

Elliot looked at my books.

"Want some help?" He asked. And instead of letting me answer, he already grabbed the books.

"H-hey!" I said. I grabbed my books back. "At least let me answer."

"Well?" Asked Elliot.

I shoved the books at him.

"Yes." I said.

Elliot smiled. "That's what I thought."

I let him put the books into my backpack.

April walked by in the hall.

"Hey April!" I called after her, I ran out of the classroom and chased after her in the hallway.

"Scarlett!" Elliot called and chased after me. "Don't leave me alone!"

April turned and smiled at me.

I stopped running.

April was my upperclassmen, she wasn't In the same grade as me. We didn't get to talk much.

"April." I said. "What's up?"

"Not much." Said April.

"How was your day?" I asked.

"Good." April smiled.

April saw Elliot.

"So who's that?" She asked.

"Oh, um, that's Elliot." I said "He's a friend of mine."

"Yeah." Elliot smiled. He shook April's hand. "Your cousin is really nice."

April got a surprised look on her face, Elliot reminded her of someone she knew.

"Anyways." I said, breaking the silence. "I just wanted to talk, we haven't in a while you know?"

"Oh yeah." Said April. She turned. "It was nice talking to you two. I better be going now."

I waved bye.

"Why does your cousin always leave like that, without hanging out?" Asked Elliot.

"Well." I said "It's complicated, you see, her dad, my uncle, is going through something that's been kind of hard on him."

"Oh." Elliot said.

"Alright." I said and grabbed my backpack from his hands. "Bye Elliot."

I started walking away.

"Hey, wait!" Said Elliot.

I stopped walking.

"What?" I asked without turning.

"W-well." Said Elliot "I just thought we could hang out and all...you know."

"Elliot." I sighed and turned. "I can't today."

Elliot was always talking about this type of thing with me. He wanted to just hang out after school once, but I never seemed to have any time.

I started walking away.

"What if I came to visit your house?" He asked and started walking at a fast pace to my side. "I'd really like to meet your family."

"No." I said, much too quickly. "You can't come."

I tried walking away faster.

"You never talk to me about your family." Elliot whined.

"Well." I said "You're still practically a stranger to me, I've only known you for, like, a month."

"A month and a half to be exact." Said Elliot.

"Yeah." I said "But I don't like giving out personal information about myself."

"Please?" Asked Elliot. He gave me a hug.

"Let go of me." I said.

Elliot tightened his grip. "Not until you tell me." He said.

I rolled my eyes. But, in fear of being seen, I quickly answered. "Okay! Okay! Fine!"

Elliot let go of me.

I sighed.

"I live with a family of five." I said, "Well six, if you count our pet."

"Cool." Said Elliot. We walked out of the school together.

"I've got one, really cool, awesome dad." I said. Elliot nodded. "And four..." I didn't know the right words. "Brothers..." I said at last, not sure about it.

"Older or younger?" Asked Elliot.

"Older." I said "But one of them acts way younger than he is." I said, thinking of Mikey.

Elliot asked. "What are there names?"

"Donnie, Raph, Leo, and Mikey." I said.

"Weird names." Said Elliot "Aren't those nicknames for Renaissance artists?"

"Um. Yes." I answered bashfully.

"Nice." Said Elliot.

He walked a few steps ahead of me.

"It's nice to see you're doing fine at home." He said.

"Yeah." I said "Living with boys can be a pain though."

Elliot laughed. "I bet. But, don't you have a mom?"

"No." I said "I'm the lady of the house in a way. I can't let my brothers cook, they'll...probably ruin it. Especially one of them in particular."

I started wondering what the turtles were eating while I was at school.

Mikey had better not be cooking again.

"So, when can I come over?" Asked Elliot.

"You can't." I said, and started walking away from the school, still wondering about what they ate. Was pizza the most logical answer?

"What?!" Gaped Elliot. "But I'm your friend!"

"Yeah." I said "But there's something you just can't see about my house."

I stopped walking at the school yard. I pulled out my T-Phone to see if the turtles would pick me up in the Shellraiser today, which they did do occasionally, not in front of everyone of course. It was always in an alley not far from the school.

The school was a bit of a way from the lair though, and today was an important date.

Elliot just stood behind me.

"What about you?" I asked "Aren't you going home?"

"Oh yeah, right." Said Elliot. "I just wanted to tell you something."

"What?" I asked.

"Happy Birthday." Said Elliot.

I turned.

"How did you-?"

Elliot pointed at my phone.

I had taped. 'Happy Birthday' to the outer case of my phone.

"It wasn't there yesterday." Elliot said "So I assumed it was today."

I smiled. "You're right." I said. "Today is my birthday."

It was about time someone had told me happy birthday.

A limousine parked in front of us.

'Woah.' I thought.

A window rolled down.

A lady, dressed in fancy, yet modern, clothing said, "Elliot, time to go home."

I did not know Elliot was rich.

"Yes ma'am." Said Elliot. He got into the limo.

"Bye Scarlett." Elliot said.

"Bye." I said.

And Elliot left.

It was strange how quiet it was when he left.

I shook the feeling away though as I saw and heard a very familiar old subway car/van roaring down the street and to the school.

It stopped at an alley, I immediately ran to it.

I walked in the Shellraiser, Leo was driving.

"Hi." I said.

"Come on in." Said Leo.

I did and sat where Mikey normally sat, mostly because I liked to spin on the chair.

"How was your day?" Asked Leo. He was definitely like a big brother to me.

"Good." I said.

"Did you see April?" He asked.

"Yeah." I said "But she didn't have much time to talk. You know how it's been."

"Yeah." Said Leo.

"How was everything at the lair?" I asked

"Fine." Said Leo "I can't ever get Mikey to stop playing video games though."

"What did you all eat?"

"Today, sandwiches."

"What kind?"

"PB&J."

I breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness."

"What?" Asked Leo

"There were no worms in it." I said.

We both laughed.

We drove to the lair, where I put away my school stuff and now I could have all the freedom I wanted. I wanted to hang out with the turtles.

Everyone was busy though.

"Fine." I mumbled to myself. "Be that way. You won't even care it's my birthday."

I somehow ended up watching a soap opera and eating chips.

"Scarlett!" Called Donnie. "Mikey just puked!"

"Ewww!" I said, everyone called me to do the dirty work.

I walked to the lair.

"Where's the mop?" I asked.

But, I was surprised with streamers instead of a mop.

I dodged them.

"Surprise!" Said all the turtles.

I looked around the room, there were birthday decorations everywhere.

"Guys..." I said, voice choking. "How did you know?"

"You wrote it on your calendar." Said Mikey. "I told everyone else, and we decided to throw this party."

"But, my calender is in my room." I said.

There was an awkward silence.

"Mikey, have you been going into my room?" I asked.

"Hey, who wants to see Scarlett open her presents!?" Asked Donnie.

"I know I do." Leo said, avoiding the current conversation.

"Yep." Said Raph quickly. "Me too."

Mikey and I both walked over to the workbench, where five presents lay.

I was sure the fish was from Splinter, and he was probably in deep meditation as always.

I told myself to remember to thank him.

"Mine first!" Mikey said and shoved something that looked like a present into my face. It was...something, wrapped up badly in newspapers and duck tape.

I unwrapped the present to find a small turtle stuffed animal.

It looked old and previously used.

"It used to be mine." Mikey said proudly, "Now it's yours."

"Thanks." I said, and hugged the stuffed animal.

"Mine." Said Donnie. He shoved a neatly wrapped box.

I unwrapped the box to see a portable chemistry set. This one was special though because it was home made by Donnie. I could tell.

"Awesome!" I gasped. "Thanks Donnie!"

"Here." Said Raph. He handed me his.

It was not too badly wrapped, and had a red ribbon.

I unwrapped it to find a box that read. 'Bop it, Sock it, but it won't fall down! The inflatable punching dummy who always gets back up again!'

I smiled. The dummy looked like a ninja.

"Thanks!" I said.

Leo handed me his.

It was more like Donnie's, wrapped neatly and well.

Unwrapped, I saw a Space Heroes comic book.

"Woah!" I said.

I was growing to like the show more now.

"Thank you!" I said.

Splinter ' s gift came last, it was a family picture I had once taken of everyone, it had until recently been on the fridge. But it was now framed.

I held the frame close.

I hugged everyone's gift.

"Thanks." I said.

"Oh, don't thank us just yet." Said Mikey.

He wheeled over a ginormous cake with white frosting and red roses.

It had fifteen candles on it, my new age.

"Make a wish and blow out the candles!" Said Mikey.

I looked around.

I could not think of anything else to ask for.

But, I smiled and blew the candles out. I knew what I wished for.

I wished Zoey could be here right now and enjoy this moment with me.

Everyone clapped as I blew out the candles in one blow.

"Let's eat!" Said Mikey.

Then, the ground slightly trembled.

Everyone stopped chattering.

What was going on?

In the ceiling, a hole opened up and something fell through it.

The hole closed and the figure groaned slightly.

"Huh?" I asked.

The figure stood up, revealing itself to be Zoey.

Zoey wore a black leather jacket and a purple and black striped dress with purple leggings and black boots.

"What's up?" Zoey smiled. "I'm back."

So there was that time quote at the beginning, and if you haven't already noticed, the last fanfiction ended with "It was just a matter of time." And a lot of the characters have been talking about time. And unless you read the fanfiction title to get an idea of what's going on here (and if you've forgotten about Bob Joe by now) In this sequel, we're gonna learn more about the Guardian of Time and who he/she really is. I already know though. *evil smile. So, anyways, I included a new boy OC about Scarlett ' s age and he's pretty much like Donnie when it comes to both smarts and crushes. I just felt like Casey Jones, well...I'm not a huge fan of him. He ruined Apriltello! And now...oh wait, doesn't this ruin that Raph/Scarlett shipping everyone was asking for? Nope! I have big, big plans guys! And even though we didn't get much in this chapter, we shall return to episodes soon, I just want to include some more of my own chapters because then I can make the first episode more heartbreaking. (You know what I mean by that right?) Anyways please review since, as you know reviews inspire me to write more!

P.S Bob Joe is not coming back, he was just there for that small chunk of time. (Hehe, time) His name is sort of a play on words, Average Joe, Bob Joe.
