Not all the chapter will have the introduction. This chapter's intro is in my Point of View (POV)

I'll put notes as I go along chapter-wise, but other than that it might be empty up here.

Making It Better

We had all been together maybe about …a week? Yeah, that sounds right; from November 5th to now, November 13th. I am still annoyed that the first thing Orange and Red started doing after they met me was to start teasing Leonardo and myself. However…I look up from my book and see Orange looming over me…

It seems they wanted to make it better.

------

Michelangelo and Raphael decided to try and get on Brianna's good side. It was not making any of them happy being in the constant 'Agree to Disagree' state.

Raph saw how she stared and sometimes watched him work on his Shell Cycle. He saw just how bad she wanted to accompany him on some of his patrols. He'd caught her sneaking a peek at some of his magazines…

Mikey had sensed Bria more than once staying up to watch him play video games. He knew she disliked playing them, but he could feel just how much she wanted to speak up and cheer him on, or comment and do commentary while sitting on the couch with him. He'd heard the occasional slight splash in the sewers as he went out-and-about skateboarding.

Many times, more than he could count, he had caught her wanting to burst out laughing as he did his usual Comic Relief Stunts, as Donatello called them. Her sense of humor and weakness to laughing at almost every little thing made her slip more than once. After which she had stormed off.

When the two of them did their quarrels, they had seen her on the sidelines listening to every little bit they said and did.

However, Bria refused to admit it. Well…The two at the moment were in the doorway that lead into the garage. They looked at each other as Raphael held the quarter they were going to flip to see who would go first. They were going to get her to be their friend, and they were determined about that. The odds were on their side, and so Raph flipped the coin into the air and the two brothers stepped back.

"Heads!" Raph smirked in his usual way.

"Tails!" Michelangelo said cheerfully.

They watched the coin land and spin about the ground before finally stopping…

Tails.

"Well, good luck, bro," Raphael nodded as he picked HIS quarter up an put it back in the cubby hole. The only quarter no one ever spent was this one, found when they went on their first scouting on their own without Splinter when they were all little terrapins. All at once, they had spotted the shiny silver on the ground, but Mikey and Raph had jumped for it first…and had done this very same thing to break the tie, and it landed on Raphael's side that night.

However, from then on, in order to break any sort of tie in a game or whose turn it was to do what, this quarter was used. So, when this place was found, a special cubby hole had been made to put it in, and it had been a group agreement that that's where it stayed.

"Thanks," Mikey grinned and bounded inside from the Garage. He spotted his victim on the couch in the living room reading Tithe, a modern fairy-tale book by Holy Black. He grinned as he leaned over her from behind.

Brianna noticed the shadow of her adorable secret brother turtle. She looked up from her book and into his sparkling sky-blue eyes. "Hi, Mikey," she greeted him, fighting the grin that twitched at the corners of her lips, "What's up?"

"The ceiling," Mikey answered grinning, probing that smile he saw fighting to be released.

Bria pursed her lips, not giving in quite yet though she was a sucker for cheesy jokes like that, 'Oooh…why is this so hard?!' she pouted in her mind.

"Wanna come skateboarding with me?" Michelangelo asked.

"Mikey, I can't skateboard," Bria sighed. It was true…she tried and failed ever time.

Mikey titled his head and straightened up just in time to catch Raphael holding up his skates and winking before setting them down and disappearing, "Then plain skate," he grinned again.

A chuckle escaped her lips before she could stop it. She huffed good-naturedly and rolled her eyes which turned teal, "I doubt I can fit in those," she murmured as she kicked off her slippers. Since moving in with them, she had taken up the habit of always being dressed and ready to go anywhere for anything.

"Actually, they're self-adjusting," Donatello called over to her from the kitchen as he just got another cup of coffee.

"Thanks, Don," Bria sighed, defeated. She bookmarked her page before she shifted and slid up her leggings enough so she could slip the skates on. Sure enough, as soon as she pulled on the Velcro they tightened, making a perfect fit on her small feet. "Fascinating…" she muttered and attempted to stand.

Michelangelo caught her as she immediately slipped. He laughed, "Never used these kinds of skates before?" he asked cheerfully.

"No," Brianna answered but tried again, managing to stay upright, "Alright, you've caught me in your trap, let's go," she shook her head, amused and grinning freely.

Mikey grinned and dragged her toward the garage where Raphael was working on his bike again. Bria seemed to glide effortlessly as she got used to the rhythm. He grabbed his skateboard and the two of them skid out through the tunnel door that led to the sewers.

Man, what a great time they would have.

---Around 8 that night---

After hours upon hours of dominating the sewers, Brianna and Michelangelo bounded into the garage where Raphael was getting ready to go. Casey had arrived at some point while they had been gone.

Breathless, Bria skid to a stop and her eyes were shining bright, bright blue, "Going on patrol, Raph?" she asked.

"You bet," Raph smirked and patted his Sai, "You wanna join Casey 'n' me?"

"And beat up some Purple Dragons? Angel said they were planning a heist tonight," Casey added.

Brianna laughed heartily, "Sure! Why not?" she saw the grin flashed between the turtle brothers, "You two did this just to get on my good side, huh?" she smirked.

They laughed, "We sure did! It worked, didn't it?" Mikey asked hopefully.

Bria gloumped him, "Yes, Mikesters, it did."

Michelangelo's grinned from ear to ear, "Victory! Ha!" he gave a high-five to his brother.

"Alright, alright," Brianna giggled and slipped through Mikey's grasp, "Let me get my Bo staff and we'll be on our way, Raphy!" she smirked as he grinned and skated off to get what she needed. She whirled back quickly, her Bo strapped to her back, and the trio headed out.

Everything was all better now.
