Everyone wonders at least once in their life if anything extraordinary, supernatural or exciting will happen to them in their life time. It's more common as a teenager because we have such open minds to the world that we hope for these things to happen only when they do we are not sure if we want it any more or if we can handle it the way we expect ourselves to. In life no one can predict how they will react to strange things that can be out of our control. High School is enough of a struggle as it is with enough events to keep everyday a challenge.

For Ava, High School was enough of a hassle as it was with all her classes and not to mention her part-time job at the pizza parlor. Although, she did loved the sweet aroma of the pizza baking in the oven during work it was not all bad and she did get free pizza often as well. She would take home all the pizza she wanted but she would eat every last bite, even if she was about to puke she just loved pizza. Then again, who doesn't like pizza?

Mornings were always the worst to Ava and it took her a long while to get herself out of bed which is why she had her alarm go off every fifteen minutes an hour before she actually had to be up and get ready for school. So once the alarm had gone off twice she took it off snooze and slowly sat up in her bed. Her auburn hair tousled about from her sleep she ran her hands through her hair to smooth it out with an irritated huff passing her lips. A yawn followed her sigh and she rubbed at her eyes tiredly.

"Man, I hate mornings…" She breathed out loud. Slowly she got out of bed to reveal her blue sleeping shorts with a blank tank top.

She always wore tank tops and it was a known fact by her classmates and family she owned nearly ten or more of them. Scratching her head and ruffling her hair Ava reached her closet and opened it, grabbing a grey tank top and pair of acid wash skinny jeans. Undressing herself she put on a clean bra and underwear before getting fully dressed. Black high top lace up boots and a grey plaid button up she left open were the last articles of clothing to be put on before she made her way to the bathroom to wash her face and brush out her hair.

"Stupid hair!" Ava grunted, brushing out a knot in her medium length hair before putting it in a half up half down style. The part that was up she braided both sides of a top section of hair and tied it with a simple black hair tie. "Alright, I'm ready." She nodded at herself in the mirror I approval of her appearance.

Ava was a pretty average teenage girl on the outside but inside she was full of curiosity and her mind was always drifting. She was a daydreamer since she was a child but she knew her life would always be less than ordinary. Her looks were pretty average as well. With her medium length auburn hair, deep brown eyes with an interesting golden hazel to them. Her body form was average for her age of sixteen. Her chest was an average size and her wait was slightly developed but the most noticeable thing would be her hips and legs but that was only because she was always walking everywhere and running around town from school to home and then to work as well.

Making her way downstairs to the kitchen she yawned again, "Morning," her greeting was cut off when she saw no one but instead she saw a note. "Hm, 'I will be home late again tonight but I assume you were going to have pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner again anyway. Be sure to at least eat a banana before school. Have a good day. Love, Uncle Jessie.' Yeah, yeah I'll eat a banana and go to school." Shaking her head at the letter she grabbed the last banana and ate it. Tossing the letter into the trash can on her way out.

The teen girl snatched her bag and left with her headphones connected to her music player. She always made sure to have music on when she walked, people left her alone that way. She wasn't antisocial but she preferred to get to school without being bothered. She had a few friends but she wasn't one to really hang out much, she enjoyed her alone time after school. A lot of the other teens at school really irritated her but she managed to survive their stupidity.

"Casey shoots," A boy on rollerblades outside the school shot a hockey puck in no general direction only to hit someone in the arm, "he scores...!"

"Ouch! Casey Jones!" Ava shouted, turning to look at her childhood friend.

"Oh, sorry Ava!" Casey rushed over and retrieved his puck while Ava glared at him, rubbing her arm, "hey, are you going to my hockey game Saturday night?" The boy asked when Ava removed her headphones and rested them around her neck.

"First of all, owe!" She socked him in the arm and he groaned in response, rubbing his arm, "and secondly, I'll try to make it if I can I don't know my work schedule yet." Frowning at him she shoved her hands into her pants pockets.

"Man, you're no fun. You're in high school what do you need to work for?" The hockey player huffed but he knew the reason.

He had known her since they were kids and knew that she lived with her uncle because her mother was in the hospital fighting breast cancer and hasn't been able to leave for a long while. Ava wanted to help bring some money into the house since her uncle was doing everything on his own for her and her mother. Her parents had divorced because her father wasn't a reliable man after he lost his job and pretty much gave up since the company he worked for shut down. Her aunt had a job that had her traveling the world but she was home at least once a month for a week or so.

"You know why, Casey, I promise I'll do my best to make it but I cannot promise I will be there. I need to go to class now. I'll see you at lunch Casey." With a faint smile she turned and left her friend to his hockey puck and hockey stick.

He was actually really smart despite how he acted but when it came to math he was just as good as her, which wasn't very reliable when it came to studying together after school. It usually ended in them eating pizza or going skating. Ava did roller blade but not every day.

The day was a pretty usual day, boring and uneventful. After class she decided to grab her skates from her locker from the day before and shoved her boots into her bag. Today was a roller blade day for Ava but she couldn't blade without her music. Placing her head phones on and selected a playlist and put her bag back over her shoulders.

"Yo Ava!" Casey called and waved, "I hope you can make it Saturday, if not I'll see you Tuesday!"

Ava waved back and pressed play on her music player before placing it into her pocket and headed off down the street. She had to make a few stops on the way home so she enjoyed the ride there on her skates. She dodged pedestrians with ease and skill while grinding when she could find a decent ramp. The first stop was the music store. She had ordered a new album from one of her favorite groups. The second stop was the skate shop, she needed a new set of blades but they would have to be ordered since her skates were custom.

"Alright, expect the order within the next couple of weeks."

"Alright, thanks." Waving to the employee she left and bladed back down the street, it was getting dark and she would rather not be on the streets at night. It was New York after all and there were purple dragons and other strange things lurking in the allies.

Actually there had been reports of strange events all around the city but with all the waste in the world she assumed it was just evolution and adaptation that animals were going through. Although she thought that her curious and imaginative part of her mind liked to believe it was like a mutation from some secret organization that was experimenting on animals. She didn't like it though. How could anyone use an animal for such selfish reasons?

On the way back home she skated past a few allies that she knew in the back of her mind was part of the Purple Dragon's territory but didn't pay any attention. The song changed and she got lost in the tune. A ramp was coming up so she crouched for a moment and leapt into the air, landing skillfully on the sidewalk ramp, grinding on it until it ended and landed back on the pavement. She sped up. The streets empty enough for her to be able to go at a better speed than usual.

She saw another ramp and got ready for a grind but as soon as she was about to jump something passed her and knocked her off her balance, "Whoa!" She fell to the ground and skidded for a few moments, scraping her forearm. "What the heck?!" Ava grumbled in frustration, looking to the ally only to stare in curiosity and confusion.

"Kraang, the ones called the turtles that are turtles have come to the place where Kraang are in the place of where the turtles have arrived."

"What the heck?" Ava cocked a brow at the way the men in suits talked, "wait, turtles?" She slowly stood but ducked when more shots were fired. "Okay what is going one?" She watched the men in suits firing endless shots at four figures that were moving in the shadows so swiftly she couldn't make them out but their bodies seemed awkward but they moved so gracefully, like ninja.

"Ha, that's funny Ava. There are ninja in New York. Riiight," She shook her head at her thoughts but she grew curious and skated to the ally, hiding by the wall and peering around the corner to watch the scene.

"Booya-kasha!" The shortest of the four shouted, hitting one of the men in suits that called themselves the Kraang with a nunchaku. That was a ninja weapon, were they really ninja? "Oh yeah Mikey's go the moves!" He cheered while dodging another attack and kicking the Kraang.

She watched and they were easily taking out the Kraang as they just shot their weapons or moved very stiffly when trying to do hand to hand combat. She noticed something in the shadows, not one of the four figures. A blade shone in the dim light and her eyes widened. The figures were so preoccupied they hadn't noticed the figure in the shadows but she did.

I hope that don't regret this. She thought as she got up and sped into the ally with her skates. She jumped over one of the four figures and landed on the trash can, kicked off of it and crashed down on the figure that was in the shadows. Her skates hit them right in the jaw and she heard a loud crack.

"Ouch, that sounded like it hurt." She hissed as if she shared the pain she had just inflicted on the person. "What, a ninja, really? Okay, I'll just go along with it," She turned around and noticed everyone staring at her but she stared back just as intensely, "turtles…" She saw four giant turtles with human like feature. "Anthropomorphic turtles with ninja weapons." She let out a huffed chuckle but then saw another ninja appear behind one of the strange turtles, "okay I am freaking out right now but, blue behind you!" She spoke quickly and shouted, pointing behind the one with the blue headband.

"What?" He turned around and blocked the ninja's attack easily, kicking him away causing him to stumble and get grabbed only to be thrown into the van that was in the ally. The three other turtles turned to defeat the rest of the Kraang before the strange men retreated in their van.

Ava didn't want to be in the way but one of the ninja came after her and she ducked, gliding on her blades and spinning round, knocking him off his feet and just as he was about to hit the ground the one with the red head band jumped over Ava and grabbed the ninja, tossing him into the wall with his weapon that she assumed was a sai, to his neck.

"We can do this the easy way or the way I like it, the hard way." He taunted and the ninja kicked him back. He almost landed on Ava but the blue head banded turtle grabbed her out of the way.

"Be careful Raph!" He called to his turtle friend then looked down at the girl, "are you alright?" He asked ad she noticed the way he spoke he was so firm and cautious like a leader.

Her eyes were wide and she still couldn't believe there was a huge talking turtle with ninja training helping her. She blinked and nodded slowly, "Y-yeah!" She wiggled out of his grasp and stood on her skates, "I'm fine!" She waved her hands at him to assure him she was fine, "whoa!" She grabbed the turtles' arm and tugged him away from the ninja star that flew their way. She fell to the ground with the turtle next to him. "Okay, we're even now go do you're um…ninja turtle thing and I'll just get your way." She got up and sped away on her skates but turned around to look at the turtles again.

"Leo the rooftops!" The purple one called to the blue one, pointing to the roofs. Ava looked up when Leo did and saw more ninja, "there are too many foot ninja we have to go!"

"Alright Donnie, let's try and make a break for it!" Leo ordered, knocking away another foot ninja and jumping up the fire escape to the rooftop to take care of the Foot Ninja that were there.

Ava got their names down, Mikey, the orange one, Donnie the purple one, Raph the red on and finally Leo, the blue one. She watched them fight and wondered if she should leave or not. She always wanted something like this to happen but at the same time she wasn't sure what to do. She was sure she was going crazy.

"Look out!" She heard Leo shout and it snapped her from her thoughts but she was hit with a kunai in her upper back near her right shoulder. Leo watched as the girl froze for a moment, as if in shock then turned her head to look over her shoulder. He saw the pain cross her features and she slouched over, grabbing onto her arm in an attempt to lessen the pain.

"Crap, crap, crap!" She repeated as the pain surged through her body and she grabbed onto the kunai, "ah!" She let go and couldn't pull it out, it hurt too much and tears started to surface. "No I am really freaking out! There are anthropomorphic turtles with ninja weapons and there is a freaking kunai in my shoulder!" She saw a ninja rush at her and she ducked the glided out of the way but it hurt to move, "crud!" she stumbled from the pain and the ninja grabbed her by her leg and tossed her aside which caused the kunai to sink deeper into her from the impact. She cried out in pain and saw some white lights flash before her vision.

"Hold on!" Donnie shouted and rushed over to her side to get the Foot Ninja away from her. He knocked him back from where he stood and the ninja stumbled from the impact. He was surprisingly strong for how tall and lean he was. "Hey, are you okay?" He asked, carefully moving her to sit up.

"Hn, what?" She slurred and groaned. Her back filled with pain she tried to focus on the one talking to her. "I…uh…owe." Was her reply as she looked around her, everything as blurred and she looked at Donnie who gave her a worried look before he shouted something at the other turtle's. She saw them run to where she and Donnie were, meeting Leo's gaze for a brief moment before she passed out from the pain.
