The story is going to have a lot of major OCs. Just a warning. I'll explain who they are more in later chapters if I continue.

Silence was something never heard on the streets of New York, even in the middle of the night. The was no stillness in the night. It was always moving and loud. There was always the music of a bustling city.
As Jacquline Yi Moon stared out into the constantly moving streets, she wondered. She wondered what it would be like to live somewhere where there was only silence, the complete opposite of New York, New York.
She took a deep breathe and closed her eyes as she leaned againt the edge of the building. Where was there silence in this world? The noise of the city faded out as the images of proud mountains and peacful grasslands entered her mind. She wanted to leave so bad, but-
Her eyes shot open as she felt the weight of a steady hand landed on her shoulder. Letting out a sharp yell, she flinched away, her heart jumping out of her chest. As she prepared to scream, she caught sight of who it was that had touched her and calmed down putting a hand to her chest.
There was a goofy grin on his face like always. Things may have changed, but that smile never did, and never would. His face was eager to see her.
She let out an annoyed huff. "Michelangelo Hamato! How many time do I have to tell you to not sneak up on me like that?"
His smile remained but he shifted slightly and she could tell he was a bit nervous.
She relaxed and a smile began to stretch across her face. Her legs began to move her forward and soon she was pressing his body close to hers in a tight hug. The night was cold but he was warm and she felt safe in his strong arms.
"It's so good to see you Mikey!" Jackie whispered excitedly in his ear.
Mikey returned her embrace and nuzzled his face into her soft blonde hair that cascaded in waves down her back. He took a deep breathe, breathing in the familiar smell of the strawberry scented shampoo she had used ever since they had met.
"I good to see you too, Jackie." Mikey murmered. "How are you?"
They pulled back from each other and went to sit on the edge of the building. Jackie looked at Mikey with her sparkling green eyes.
"Wonderful." She replied. "How about you? How's your family?"
At this Mike frowned he turned away slightly looking down. "Fine."
Concern filled Jackie's eyes. Her smile faded."What's wrong?"
Mikey looked back up covering the saddness in his eyes with false joy. "Nothing." He replied. "I'm good."
He reached out and took her hand. Mikey gazed into her eyes his voice lowering. "I haven't seen you for while."
This time Jackie turned away. She pulled her hand away from Mikey. She pursed her lips. "I've been…busy. College has kept me on my toes."
"How's that going?" Mikey asked.
Jackie looked back up at him. "Great. It's a lot of work though." She sighed. "It's nothing like highschool was."
"I wouldn't know." Mikey said.
A moment of akwardness passed.
"So, how are Master Splinter ane your brothers?" Jackie tried again.
The frown came back but this times Mikey answered. "Master Splinter's doing good. Usually, Leo's with him though. Sensei is starting to get older and Leo worries about him a lot. I do too I guess."
"What about Raph and Don?" Jackie asked.
Mikey fidgeted. "They both moved out."
"When?" Jackie asked.
"Raph did a while ago, Don did just recently." Mikey answered quietly. "Raph moved out so he could be closer to Mona. They just got engaged but they're waiting to get married before moving in together."
Jackie smiled. "Congratulations to them. I always knew they'd tie the knot. How about Don?"
"I don't really know why he moved out." Mikey said. "I know he and Nova have had a thing going on. I don't know if that's why or if he just wants some space. Maybe it's both. He visits a lot though." Mikey sighed. "It's been kind of lonely at home."
"I know how you feel." Jackie whispered softly. "After Lexi went into the military and Tony moved to Ohio to finish college it's only been me and mom."
"At least you're still here." Mikey said, once again taking her hand in his.
Jackie pulled away nervously. "Mikey, we're not kids anymore."
"I know." Mikey said. "That doesn't mean we can't be friends anymore or talk to each other anymore. We're still together. Nothing has to change tha-"
"Mikey, I'm moving to Paris." Jackie blurted out. She stood and turned from him.
The words hit him like a train. He only managed to choke out one word. "When?"
"A few months from now." Jackie answered barely above a whisper.
Mikey stared away blankly. She was leaving. Just like that, Jackie was leaving them. No, not them, him. She was leaving him.
Mikey stood and walked quietly up to her and wrapped his arms around her from behind. He rested his head on her shoulder and breathed in the scent of her hair once again, trying to memorize the smell. She leaned back into him with a sigh.
"Hey Mike?" Jackie asked.
"Hmm?" He hummed.
"Do you remember how we first met?"
Mikey closed his eyes and sigh trying to memorize this moment. He needed to remember her. He smiled softly.
"I'll never forget it."
9 years before:
He rubbed his eyes sighing. Everything was blurring together. Why was English so difficult? Give him a math problem any day.
He glaced sidways at his clock on the wall and sighed again. It was past midnight yet he still had another paragraph to write. He rubbed tiredly his face and stood from his desk. He needed a break.
He walked out of his room and as he was walking down the stairs he realized the light in the kitchen was still on. Someone either forgot to turn it off or someone was still up.
As he came to the bottom of the steeps he glanced into the room and saw a his youngest sister sitting at the counter, gazing down at a textbook.
"You still awake Jackie?" He asked as he stepped into the room.
"Yeah." She said. "I'm having problems with Geometry. Can you help me Tony?"
He sighed, "Let me get a drink first."
After twenty minutes of arguing over math equations, they manged to wake up their sister, Alex. She came in rubbing her eyes.
"What are you two doing at-" she cut off looking at the clock, "-one o'clock in the morning? "
"Homework. What else? " Jackie answered. "Some of us actually do it once in a while."
Alex sneered." Very funny."
"Don't you two start at it," Tony cut in, "We don't need to be louder than we have to."
"Sure Tony but-" Jackie's older brother gave her the evil eye and she shut her mouth.
"You know what?" Tony said getting up." Let's all go to bed. I can help you in the morning Jackie."
"But-" Jackie started.
"No buts." Tony said "We have school tomarow and we all need sleep."
Grumbling, his younger sisters said goodnight and marched upstairs to their bedrooms.
Tony sighed and exited the kitchen walked to the living room. He sat on the couch and grabbed the remote off the end table. He turned the TV on and began flipping channels. There was no way he could sleep right now.
As he was channel surfing, his phone began ringing. He sighed and reached into his pocket. Who would be calling at this hour?
"Hello?"
"Tony!"
Tony sat up straight, adrenaline racing through him at the sound of that voice.
"Nova? What's wrong?"
The person on the other end of the line, Nova, sounded like she was crying. "I'm scared Tony! Help me!"
Tony stood. "What's happening?"
Nova swallowed hard on the other end trying to calm down.
"They're coming for me."
"Have you found it? " a deep voice asked quietly.
"No sir." The dark figure whispered into the phone. "We're getting closer though."
"How close?" The deep voice asked harshly. "You've been tracking it for months and my patience is wearing thin. This specimen is the entire solution to our failed experiments. I need it contained! We need it here, not roaming the streets."
"I assure you sir, it's close. We haven't pinpointed its absolute location, but we know its relative location." The figure whispered hurridly.
"Where? " the voice demanded. "I want here as soon as possible."
"New York City." The figure whispered back.
