I looked around and saw nothing but darkness. I looked to the right, to the left, up, and down but still saw nothing. I screamed for help, but no sound came out of my mouth. I wanted to cry but no tears fell on my face.

Suddenly, a small glow of light came from the darkness. My eyes grew wide, I wanted, no, needed to touch it. I wanted to feel the hot glow of a flame on my finger tips. I was so close... so close...

I opened my eyes suddenly and looked around, unsure of what was going on. Than, I realized what was going on.

A dream, it was just a dream. I thought to myself in shock. I looked to my left and looked up at Raph, who was still sound asleep. The others and I had a movie marethon last night, and we all fell asleep in front of the TV. Raph and I fell asleep leaning against each other, with his arm around me.

I chuckled. I still can't belive that we're together, or that April and Donnie were the only ones who figured it out. I mean, I thought it was kind of obvious.

It had been a week since we got together, and since the Kraang had captured me. Over the next week I had started training with the turtles and April. Also, my mother finally found out about the turtles.

The look on her face when she found out was priceless! But she understood everything completly (mainly because I'm an alien), and hasn't told a soul. I thought, glad I didn't have to make exusies about where I was anymore. All I had to do was tell what we were doing, if I wanted to stay the night, and if I was going on patrol with them, which I understood.

So, other than that, everything was normal. Well, as normal as being friends (and even dating) giant turtles goes.

I looked over at Leo as he yawned and sat up. I slowly got up, trying not to disturb Raph. Leo looked back at me.

"I didn't wake you up, did I?" he whispered. I shook my head 'no.' He smiled and nodded. Carefully climbing over everyone, Leo and I silently went into the kitchen.

"That was stressful." I pointed out when we got into the kitchen.

"You could say that again. What would you like for breakfest?"

"Just eggs, please." I said. Leo smiled and nodded. After a few minutes in silence as Leo prepaired our breakfest, Raph and Mikey walked in the kitchen.

"Sup, dudes!" Mikey said with a big dorky smile.

"Good morning guys." I said. Leo just said 'hi' without looking up from his cooking. To which Raph grunted.

OoOoO

"See ya guys." I said as April and I were walking out of the lair.

"Where are you teo going?" Donnie asked before we could leave.

"We're going to have some girl time." April said.

"Cool! Can I come?" Mikey asked.

"Umm, well, no. That's why it's called girl time, Mikey." I said nervously.

"Oh, ok." he said, pouting a little, and with that said, April and I walked to the surface.

OoOoO

"He did what?" April asked.

"He gave me dead flowers!" I said, while April and I laughed at our butts off.

"Ooo, sounds romantic!" she joked.

"Oh you have no idea." I impilled, rolling my eyes. April and I were at my apartment, on the couch, eating some pasta. 'You can't have pizza all the time.' April had told me. To which I laughed.

"So, who do think would make a good match for you, April" I teased.

"Hmm, couldn't be Mikey." she said in thought.

"What about Leo, he's a nice guy." I pointed out.

"Yeah, but no thanks." April paused, "Probably Donnie, he is the turtle I'm closest to."

I nodded, "Yeah, I can see that."

"Casey can be good and nice, but also annoying and stupid." April said.

"Amen to that."

"Raph though, I honestly never thought about him like that, I mean, he doesn't open up to people easily, or quickly." April winked, "I suppose you're pretty lucky."

"Any girl who has a guy like that gives her dead flowers is lucky." I said, which made us just laugh even more.

"A to the men." April said. It was weird, being friends with her. At my old school, I wouldn't consider Ness, Heather, and Ember my friends now, because all we did was get under each others skin. The last time I had a true friend, was probably back when I lived on my old planet, and even then I didn't have a lot of friends. So having a friend like April is just mind blowing to me. I'm just glad that we have so much trust between us that really nothing can break our friendship... right?

OoOoO

I was in the darkness again. No tears, and no voice. Just like last time. I knew it was a dream, but it felt so real. That's when the light appeared again, only bigger and glowing much more. I reach out, then stopped.

What am I doing!? This is just a dream! Than I looked up at the flame, and I forgot where I was, that this was a dream.

No. It's not a dream, it's just as real as me, and I must have it. I reached to the flame and I touched it and held it i my hand.

It... it's beautiful. It was weird, I didn't need anything, nothing but the fire on my fingertips.

I gasped as I opened my eyes.

"Sleep well, Bami?" I heard Raph's voice ask. I looked next to me. Raph was siting up and I had feel asleep with both of my arms wrapped around one of his, and my head buried in his shoulder.

"Y-yes." I said with a shaky voice.

"If you say so." Raph said, clearly not buying any of it.

"It was just a d-dream." Raph grunted and he got up and went into the kitchen.

It was just a dream, a dream... a dream. No matter how many lies I told myself, I just wanted to see something burn.

I wanted to add more to this chapter, but it's late and I wanted to publish something. I hope you liked it!
