I was walking down the street going to go to a restaurant when a group of thugs known as the purple dragons started to chase me and go after me.

"Hey girly give us everything you have and we won't hurt you."

"Someone, please help me," I said.

Then, suddenly, I see a shadow right behind them, taking them all out. The thugs were grunting and crying out in pain, trying to fight back whatever was attacking them. Suddenly, all was silent. Whoever saved her, didn't want to be seen. A voice came from the shadows.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm alright. Thanks for saving me whoever you are," I said abruptly. I looked in the shadows and I saw someone. Something that didn't look human.

"No problem," the voice said. "You should be careful around this side of town. As you can see, it can be a bit rough."

"Can I see what you look like? I want to see the face of the person who saved me," I said.

There was a pause. "I can't," it responded.

"Oh I see, ok, well I guess I will see you around, bye."

The voice did not respond. Whoever was there, didn't want to be seen, but the girl guessed it was not human from the way it's shape looked in the shadows. So I walked off, thinking that guy was a jerk and a little rude. Well, that's the last time I ever needed saving from that guy. So I walked back to my apartment. I went to my room and closed the door. Just as I was getting settled after my time out, I heard a knock... on my window? A strange, shadowy figure hung outside the window. I quickly looked to see who it was and it was Raph.

"Come on in Raph," I said as I unlocked the window letting him in.

"Whatcha been up, too?" he asked.

"Oh nothing, just took a shower, ate dinner and now I am watching tv. Do you want to come in?" I asked.

"Sure." Changing the subject, he said, "you've been out anywhere today?"

"Well I went to the mall. Then I went to the library. Then I went to go get lunch and then I saw a movie at the movie theater," I said.

"You been out late?" his stare was harsh.

"No, no I have not. Ever since I got attacked I have been staying indoors. What is your problem anyway?" I ask him angrily.

"That's what I thought," he said. "Yah gotta be more careful out there. My brother told me he ran into someone today who was being attacked by some Purple Dragons. I figured it be you."

"Well, no, it wasn't me. I haven't been out really at all today," I say with certainty.

Raph cocked his head and lifted an eye ridge.

"Yah sure that wasn't you?"

"Yes, I am sure. I have been inside, why?" she asks, getting annoyed.

"I was the one who saved you last time. My brother was the one you saw today. You know, the one who wouldn't show himself when you asked? He told me. I know."

"Ok but I told you, I didn't get attacked today. Oh yeah that's right. I did get attacked today. Do you know who saved me then today? You or your brother?"

"My brother, silly," he snorted.

"Oh, ok then, geez. So what did you want to do today then Raph?" I asked a little bit annoyed not happy with his attitude.

"I just dropped by to see if you're ok. But we can do what ever yah want," he said.

"Do you want to come inside and watch a movie with me?" I said now feeling happy.

Raph shrugged. "Sure," he said.

So we went into my apartment and we sat down on the couch. I got out Transformers, put it in the DVD player, sat back down on the couch and we started watching it.

"Yah know," Raph said, "With all these things going on about the Dragons, it makes me worry about you sometimes."

"Really?" I asked blushing. "You're worried about me?" I said with more of a blush on my face.

"Of course I am," he said, looking away. "I mean... those thugs are so low for going after whoever they can. I just... don't wanna see you get hurt, is all."

"Thank you so much Raph," I said with a smile on my face. "It means a lot to know that you care about me," I said, my face still blushing.

"Yeah, well, who else is gonna watch your back?"

"I guess you or your brother Leo. But I guess you the most I guess," I said.

Raph looked away to hide his now blushing face.

"So Raph, I thank you for saving me. So now what are you going to do?"

"If you don't have any other plans," he said, "I could hang out here for a while."

"Cool, well I don't have any plans. We could hang out."

Raph gave her a small smile. He gave her a look as if to say, "what do you have in mind?"

"We could play some video games if you want to Raph," I said.

"Nah, video games are Mikey's kind of thing," he said, stretching out his arms.

"Ok, uh fine then. Basketball then? I have a basketball hoop right outside."

"Eh, sure," he said shrugging.

"Ok, let's go play some basketball," I said enthusiastically.

"Sounds good."

So we go outside and play some basketball. I get nearly every hoop with the basketball successfully and Raph does too. We play for about a half hour then we go back into my apartment and we get a glass of water.

"Phew, that was fun Raph. We played a basketball game and of course I won."

"Ha! No way. I beat you big time."

"Nuh uh. No you didn't. I kept score. It was 30 to 26. Yours was 26 and mine was 30. I beat you big time," I said.

"In your dreams. I was 30 and you were 26," Raph laughed.

"You wish. I was 30 and you were 26. I kept score I think I would know. So let's stop arguing and just do something else already." I said now getting mad.

Raph cocked his head. Then he shrugged.

"Ok, Raph, isn't it time you got home? I am sure your brothers are worried about you."

"Yeah, yeah. They're worried about me. I can handle myself," he said. "But I should be getting back. I'll see yah later. Stay off the streets at night."

"Ok Raph, bye. I will see you tomorrow hopefully." And with that I closed my window and he went off into the night.
