Chapter 1: Venus

"Going out!" I yell pulling a scarf over my green face.

"Be careful, Mikey. Don't get caught!" smiles my older brother, Leonardo. Ah, ever overprotective Leonardo. Oh, well, he is our leader. And these coverings? Well, it's February and most people would flip seeing a teenage mutant ninja turtle. I'm kind of the youngest of us four.

Older than me is super genius Donatello (Don, Donnie), then older than him is Mr. Short temper hot shot macho-man himself, Raphael (Raph, Raphie), them cool calm and collected Leonardo (Leo). Oh yeah, and me witty Michelangelo (Mikey, Mike). Gosh, I hate explaining things. (Except if they deal with video games or comics!)

Anyway, I'm just going to my favorite skate park. It's awesome and usually no one's there. I can't make too may friends. You know five foot eleven talking turtle. So I get there and what do I see? A little girl. I mean she's gotta be like eleven. But on the bright side, she's a good skater. Like, an awesome skater.

"Hey, kid!" I call out to her. She stops skating for a second, sees me and comes marching over.

"Listen, man, I'm no kid. I'm thirteen!" she says.

"No way! That's great…uh…" Oh, great I don't know her name.

"Venus," she finishes "I'm named after the painting 'The Birth of Venus'"

"Michelangelo, call me Mikey, I'm named after the painter," I say thinking of the coincidence. A painting and a painter.

"Cool," she's Caucasian and wears a hat with spikes that are supposed to be cat ears. She has on a black hoodie and a red skirt. She has on black and red stockings with red Mary-Jane's. Her chestnut brown hair is in two low ponytails. For a girl two years younger than me, she's kind of pretty. Like, a cross between pretty and cute.

"You wanna skate with me?" I ask.

"Sure," says Venus. My heart kind of soars when she says that. We skate and talk for a while. One conversation I like a lot, but I'm not sure why.

"You have any siblings?" she asks.

"Yeah, three older brothers," I roll my eyes.

"I've got four, but I don't know them. My put them up for adoption, but not me," she explains.

"Why?" I ask, now regretting it only because it makes her sad.

"I don't wanna talk about it," she says, looking down.

"Oh sorry," I apologize.

"No prob. Hey, wanna see my Ollie?" she says perking up. I smile, it's good to see a none Twilight-obsessed Robert-Pattinson-Edward-Cullen-Omigosh-Iluvthem! Girl in today's world.

"Want some gum?" she asks opening a packet of 5 gum Solstice.

"Thanks," I say, grabbing a piece "Solstice is my favorite."

"Mine too," she says. We hear a beep "Oh, my phone!" she digs into her pocket and pulls out a pink Samsung keyboard cell phone. She reads a text message "I gotta go. It's dinner time at my palce."

"I should go too," I say, but it's only five and I have another hour to skate. Eh, maybe I can go home early for once.

"See ya, Mikey! You wanna meet here tomorrow?" she asks.

"Sure!" my heart does that soary thing again "See ya tomorrow, Venus!" we skate away in different directions.

Haluwasa2: OK, I don't own TMNT, sadly. And, no, Venus is NOT Venus de Milo from the 90's (?) show. I do NOT like her.

Mikey: But she is in the Chronicles!

Haluwasa2: Mikey shut up *hits his head*

Mikey: Dudette that hurt. Leo is there anyway we can't let her train to be a ninja?

Leo: Mikey…be nice to our new friend and APOLOGIZE!

Mikey: OK, sorry uhhh…what nickname should we call you

Haluwasa2: Kai.

Mikey: OK, sorry, Kai

Kai: No problem. All OCs (and there will be more) belong to me.
