My breathing was heavy as I slowly drifted back to consciousness, barely thinking I was alive. There was no feeling in my body, no pain, no anything, as I lied still on the cold ground, hoping someone might find me. I was so weak..I couldn't even open my eyes if I tired. I tried over and over to move my arms, my legs, anything, but it was all a failed attempt.

Suddenly, just when I thought all hope was lost, I heard faint footsteps in the distance, walking towards my lifeless body. I heard them kneel beside me, a hand now touching my arm, shaking me. I tried to concentrate on what they were saying, but everything was fuzzy, my mind gone blank. I felt a pair of arms hoist me from the ground and secure me so to carry me away from my lifeless position.

Through the static of my mind, their voice finally broke through, but only for a moment, "Don't worry...you're safe."

Then it was dark again.

I felt a tapping on my arm when I came to again, still, unable to open my sealed eyes. This time, I wasn't sure if I really couldn't open them, or if I was just too afraid to.

Suddenly, the tapping stopped, making way for the voices:

"She won't wake up..wonder if she's okay?"

"Her vitals seem to be normal..she just won't open her eyes."

I heard a huff, "Great, another human. Bet she'll scream just like April did. Who has ten bucks on it?"

Wait..April..?

"Quiet you. This is serious. Be mature about it."

I heard a snicker, "Well, I think she's kinda cute. I dig the silver skin thing!"

"Yeah.. that was definitely odd.. Whoever she is, she's not from around here."

"Okay, guys, we need to just let her rest. Let's give her some room."

"Hey, wait! Look!"

With what strength I could manage, I pulled myself together and decided it was time to wake up. I twitched for a moment, struggling to get my eyes open, but, oh, boy, when I finally peeled them apart, it was a shocker alright. In front of me stood, none other than, the guys. I was looking Leo, Donny, Raph, and Mikey in the face, fully aware of who they were, but something told me they had no idea who I even was.

Mikey jumped in front of me as I blinked with confusion, "Hey! You're awake! My name's Mikey!"

I felt like a newborn baby who just woke up for the first time, "...W-what's going on?"

He gasped, "She spoke!"

I sat up, a burst of strength jotting through my veins, "Wait..how am I back here? What happened? I thought..I thought she had me..? What is-"

Donny cut me off, "Woah, woah, slow down there.. What are you talking about?"

I looked at all of them, dumbstruck, "What do you mean what am I talking about?! You were all there!" I pointed at them as I said their names, "Leo, Donny, Raph, and Mikey. All of you."

They all exchanged glances of shock for a moment before Leo spoke, "Wait.. you know our names..?"

I raised my hands in the air, frustrated at their ignorance, "What am I? Chopped liver? Of course I know your names! I've known all of you for over six years! Donny even longer than that! What is going on here?"

They were quiet for a moment, unable to conjure up a single word.

Raph finally scoffed, "Wow, Mikey, I think we just found someone crazier than you are."

Mikey pouted, "Hey!"

I rolled my eyes, "You guys are absolutely clueless!"

"Correction," Raph chuckled, "Mikey's clueless."

"Oh my god! Shut up Raph!" I threw my arms down on the couch, "It's bad enough you guys are playing some kind of prank on me, so I don't need some idiot remarks from my brother-in-law who thinks he's such a wisecrack he can just say anything he wants and will be acclaimed as a comical genius for it!"

"Brother-in-law?!" They all yelled in simultaneity confusion.

I looked at them all with complete shock in my expression. They really had no idea who I was or where I came from, did they? They were completely clueless as to my origin in their lives..

Raph looked at me, conflicted curiosity in his eyes, "Wait.. so.. this means.. if I'm your.." He gulped, "brother-in-law...You're married to..one of them?"

I hesitated for a moment as they all stood with anticipation in their eyes, watching me like a hawk that had spotted its next kill.

"Holy shit... You really have no idea who I am..do you..?"

They all shook their heads, trying to decide how to respond to my last words.

I swallowed hard, leaning back on the couch they had set me on earlier, "Wow..okay..well..this is definitely interesting..."

"I'll say!" Mikey jumped up, "You're apparently married to one of us and that's interesting enough!"

Leo pushed Mikey back with his arm, signaling for him to be quiet for a moment, "Okay, let's start from the beginning... How about a name? You seem to already know ours, so it's only right we know yours."

I cleared my throat, "Well.. my name is Anocari. Anocari Surie Yoshi."

He nodded, "alright, that's a start. It's nice to meet you Anocari, however weird this may be."

I nodded, "You're telling me."

Donny stepped next to Leo, "So.. you keep saying you already know us..If I may ask..how is this possible?"

I took a deep breath, letting out a long sigh, "You all might want to sit down for this."

I waited for a moment as they all arranged themselves on a seat, "Okay. Well, this is obviously not my world..You see, in my world, I've known all of you for a long time." I looked up to Donny for a moment, but quickly looked away, "You're all my family in my world.."

Raph leaned back smugly in his chair, "Yeah, well, that's clear enough after you sayin' that I'm your brother-in-law in all. So, go on, tell us who it is you're married to."

I was quiet for a long moment, wondering how they might react to my answer.

Raph sighed, "Come on, we're waiting, here."

I threw him a glare, something snapping inside me, "Oh my god, Raph, are you fucking serious? Do you really want to do this with me right now? Really? It's bad enough that I just lost my entire family, but now you're sitting here acting like an immature prick to me when you don't even know me! You know what, if you really wanna know, I'm married to Donny. There. Happy now?"

It was dead silent in the room as Donny sat up slowly, his face turning a bright shade of cherry red underneath his olive skin, Raph cracking a laugh from the other side of the room.

I folded my arms, aggressively upset with him, "Oh, okay, tell me now, what's so funny this time Raph? You know, at least he has the manners to keep a relationship! Uh-huh, that's right, all of your other brothers are married except you. You wanna know why? Because all you are and ever have been is nothing but a nonchalant "tough guy" who thinks he is so much better than all of his brothers just because he's a little stronger than Leo physical wise. You never contribute to anything your brothers have to say or do, you just always want to do what Raph wants to do! Well guess what buddy, you're alone! You're alone and that's how it's going to be until you decide to shape up and become a real man like the rest of your brothers!"

Everyone in the room was dead silent, mouths hanging open in awe, for a complete ten seconds. I think I might have gone a little too far with this one.
