This story kindof connects the dots of my other story 'Just The Way You Are' which is mainly drabbles. Happy reading!
"Don't you think we should have called first." Asked Leo as he ran.
"No, it's fine." Donnie said waving him off. "April said her aunt was on a business trip this week. There's no one home."
The brothers jumped over into April's building.
"I bet Aprils going to be so excited to see us." Mikey said as he followed his brothers quietly down the fire escape. Donnie lifted up the window that April always kept unlocked and crawled in. As his brothers came in behind him he realised that the room was empty.
"She must be in the kitchen or something." Donnie said reaching for the door handle. He then heard footsteps walking towards the door and backed up. The handle turned and the door opened to reveal a petite mocha skinned girl with curly hair and large brown eyes that were wide with shock.
"That's not April." Mikey whispered. She girls eyes traveled to thier weapons, especially the large katanas on Leos back and gulped.
So far the turtles had stayed perfectly still, but since the girl had yet to scream Leo tried to move toward her.
"We're not gonna hurt-."
He didn't even get the chance to finish because as soon as he moved the girl let out a high pitched scream. April ran up behind her and as soon as she saw the guys she knew what was going on. The brunette saw her friend and tried to pull her back down the hall.
"April! Come on they're armed and the already know your name!"
"Cristen stop screaming they arn't gonna hurt you." April said resisting the pull. She glared at the turtles and pulled her friend back into the room. Leo turned towards Donnie.
"See? This is why we should have called first."
"How was I supposed to know?"
"That's the point. You would've known, if you had called first!"
"HEY!"
The brothers stopped fighting to look at the girl who was no longer frightened. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Can someone in this room...please tell me...what the hell is going on here!"
"Well," April started. "You know how my dad went missing."
"Yeeaaahh."
"Well, when the guys kidnapped me and my dad, these guys rescued me. They're trying to help me find him."
"What? I thought you said that you didn't know who took your dad."
"I do but no one would believe me."
"Why?"
"Because they were aliens from a different dimension."
Cristen looked at April expecting her to say she was joking but her face was serious. She looked back at the giant turtles who were decked out in ninja gear and sighed.
"Well, in light of recent events I guess that is believable."
Mikey stepped forward.
"So you're not afraid of us?" He asked.
"I guess not. April says you saved her, so how bad can you be? Although blue's swords are kinda making me uncomfertable." She said eyeing Leo.
"His name isn't blue. It's Leo." Said Raph. Her eyes were drawn to Raph for the first time. Raph didn't trust this girl. For all they knew she could be using April to get to them.
"Oh really? And what would your name be?" She said her eyes narrowing.
"Raphael. But my brothers call me Raph." He said crossing his arms.
"Hmm Raphie it is then." She said smirking. Raph growled and was about to respond when Mikey popped up in front of him.
"My names Mikey. It's great to met one of Aprils friends. Do you guys go to the same school? What's school like? Can I touch your hair?"
"Ok Mikey. We just met her. You're gonna scare her away." Said Donnie. He turned towards Cristen. "I'm Donnie."
Her eyes widened in realization.
"Ohhh you're Donnie. April always talks about you. Now I know why she wouldn't show me a picture."
Donnie started blushing.
"Well I'm Cristen. Nice to met you all." She said smiling.
"You're taking this surprisingly well." Said April raising her eyebrow.
"That probably has to do with the fact that I still think this might be a dream."
"It's not." Said April pinching her arm.
"Ow ok ok."
"So, now that we all have met," said Donnie, "We brought your favorite movie April."
"Really?" She said taking the case. "Um this is Mikey's favorite movie."
"He he." He laughed nervously. April rolled her eyes.
"Im sorry about all this." April said turning to Cristen who waved it off.
"It's fine. This is the most interesting sleepover I've ever been to." She followed April to go to the living room. Donnie and Leo followed them while Mikey and Raph stayed back.
"She's cute." Said Mikey. Raph had been thinking the same thing, but there was no way he was going to admit that.
"Whatever." He said pushing past Mikey and following his brothers. He sat in a chair and watched as Mikey flipped into the couch right next to Cristen. She giggled at something he said and Raph's grip tightend on the arm of the chair. He was not getting jealous. He didn't even know this girl. He looked back at the screen and watched the movie start, but he couldn't help sneaking peaks at Mikey and Cristen who were whispering the whole time. On the way home Mikey wouldn't shutup about her. Raph pretended not to care but he soaked in every detail. She was a dancer. She just turned 15 but she was put in advanced classes this year and thats how she met April. She lived with her foster mom who was rich and spoiled her with things, but was never home. She treats her like a charity. She never knew her mom and she wouldn't talk about her dad. She also really liked pizza.
When they got to the lair, they started toward thier seperate rooms. Raph walked to his door but was stopped by Mikey.
"Hey dude. She was talking about you to."
Raph turned confused.
"What did she say?"
"Well at first she wanted to know what your problem was. But then she said that you had pretty eyes."
Raph blushed slightly."So?"
"Well to be more specific, she said you had the brightest green eyes she had ever seen. And that they were beautiful." He said fluttering his eyes. Raph slapped Mikey in the head.
"What was that for?"
"Just because." He answered closing his door.
