All four of us Marauders were chilling in my room, watching the latest episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
"Inter-dimensional dream beavers?" Scarlett asked. "I thought they had run out of stupid ideas." She was wearing a striped grey hoodie, black jeans, black sneakers, and a red t- shirt. Her brown hair was still super short, and her electric blue eyes burned into your soul if she was mad.
"Like me, they never will!" I called in victory, holding my iPad mini into the air. "My Harry Potter fanfic is complete! I completely recounted out last adventure!" I wore my green hoodie, jeans, a Doctor Who t-shirt, and black sneakers. My frizzy brown and cobalt blue hair was in an explosion around my head. My brown eyes were focused on my iPad Mini. Little did my friends know, two hearts beat inside of me, and the brown eyes they looked into were three hundred and fourteen years old.
"Where your stupidity sent us to another world? We totally pulled a Narnia! We aged, but when we came back, it had only been a few minutes!" Lexi yelled. "I got to kiss Draco, then you sent us home!" She wore a white hoodie, jeans, a navy t-shirt, and vans shoes. Her blonde hair was in a ponytail, and her brown eyes were fixed on the TV. Lexi sighed as she remembered our last big adventure.
"And I got the Weasleys to like me!" Chelsea cried. She wore a red hoodie, jeans, a white t-shirt, and Sperrys. Her brown and blonde hair was in a ponytail, and her grey eyes glared at me.
"You forget, we needed to come home. What would have happened to us when the story ended? We'd all die!"
"Eh." The others groaned.
"Fine. Guess what I got?" I asked. I held up four masks, replicas of the ones from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but slightly more girly. They had little matching jewels on them, the blue was more teal, the red was lighter, the purple was lighter, and the orange was calmer. Then, I held up plastic replicas of the ninja weapons in matching colors. I wore the teal mask with teal katanas strapped to my back. Scarlett wore the red mask with the red sais. Lexi got the purple mask and a Bo staff with purple wraps. Then, Chelsea got the sunset-orange mask and orange nunchucks. "See?! No world change! No portal! The Marauders live to see another day!"
"WE SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT WE ARE UP TO NO GOOD! THE MISCHIEF WILL NEVER BE MANAGED!" We called, raising our weapons. Suddenly, there was a blue flash, a feeling of being compressed into a box, and we were standing on a rooftop in New York City. I looked at my hands, and they were cartoon. We looked totally hilarious! We wore our normal clothes, the masks, and the weapons, but we were completely animated like the TV show, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
"What did I just do?" I whispered.
"JENNA!" My friends yelled, and I shrugged.
"Whoops." I simply said, dumbfounded. I realized that my blades were real. So were everyone else's.
"Jenna! I will skewer you!" Scarlett yelled. I whipped out a weapon I carried most days, a plastic spoon.
"Back off! I have a spoon! And I'm not afraid to use it!" I warned, waving it around like the madman I was. "Remember last time this happened?! I've probably got my super powers! Move away!"
"I'm not scared of you, you big baby! I'm older!" Scarlett growled. Little did Scarlett know, I was actually older by three hundred years. But I had to keep my disguise up. I couldn't have them know I was a Time Lady, right?
"BY ONE DAY!" I yelled. "You were born October 30th! I was born October 31st! I mean, come on! Uno dayo! One day! Seriously... SHUT UP!" I lunged at her and started jabbing her with the spoon. "I'll take you down with one spoon, and a hand behind my back!"
"No." Lexi and Chelsea said in sync.
"You couldn't take her if she had no weapons and you had your new katanas." Lexi sighed, and Chelsea nodded.
"Katanas... I CALL BEING LEADER!" I called, and the others groaned.
"We don't need a leader." Scarlett stated angrily. "Reason one: we've always been a leaderless team. Reason two: you're you. We'd all die horribly. Reason three: you're taking us home. Now!"
"Last time was an accident! And we were in Harry Potter till almost the end of Deathly Hallows! ... What if we're stuck here till almost the end of the series?" I asked.
"But it's continuos! Who knows what episode we're in?! We'll be trapped in here forever!" Chelsea yelled.
"Hand! Eye! Hand! Eye!" We heard a voice saying.
"Greg Cipes? That means... We're in season one, episode one. Those guys are on their first night as heroes. And as usual... We can change everything. I know! Let's save the O'Niels!" I shouted.
"Donni-fello can finally get his chance with April! Apritello for da win!" Chelsea called, giddy.
"No way José! Casey and April forever!" Lexi shouted. "In the old series, they were married!" We began arguing about April's fate, then...
"Shut up! Let's go get her." I groaned. We ran across the rooftops, and I found myself much more flexible and agile. I leapt over an alley the old me never would have been able to span. "Dudes! We're ninjas! Kunoichis! We got dis!" We made our way to the intersection from the show. April was walking down the sidewalk with her father, and I pinpointed where the Turtles were. "No time to lose." We leapt down just as the Kraang van pulled up. I dashed forward and stood between the robots and the O'Niels. My friends joined me there, and I smirked. "Ello sweeties."
"Kraang! Who are these human children that stand in the way of Kraang?" One robot asked.
"Kraang! We are the ones known as the Marauders who are the ones who are going to kick the chassis of Kraang!" Scarlett answered, twirling her sais like an expert. "I think we have their attention."
"Yo, April! Mr O'Neil!" I called over my shoulder. "You okay?!"
"How do you know us?" April asked. "Who are you?"
"We are the Marauders, your friendly neighborhood ninjas." I answered, grinning. "I've always wanted to say that!" My friends and I charged, easily taking down the Kraang. I sheathed my katanas and focused on one word. 'Ice!' Ice shot out of my hands just like last time, and the Kraang sat frozen on the ground.
"Better keep up the CONSTANT VIGILANCE!" Chelsea called out. "Little Red for da win!"
"Well then! Kraang v Tails!" Lexi crowed. "What eva major LOSERS!"
"Eh, they stood no chance against ninja DAWN!" Scarlett screeched, pumping her fists.
"And last but not least, Arctic will ensure your painful demise!" I cried. "Being a ninja is fricking AWESOME!"
"Wait a second... Arctic, Little Red, Dawn, and Tails?" April asked, looking fairly confused. "Marauders?"
"Obviously." I answered.
"You're just kids!" April shouted. "My age!" I realized that we had matured with the transfer. We all appeared to be fifteen! A year older! And the same ages!
"So what if we're kids? We came, we saw, we kicked butt!" Scarlett growled, punching her fist. "You owe us O'Neil."
"Dawn, no money. We still want our other friends to come out and play! We know you're there." I pointed to the rooftops. "You've been watching this whole time. We all know it. Come out, or we send my pal Dawn in." Scarlett cracked her knuckles, smirking viciously.
"Fine." A voice sighed. Mikey leapt down from the roof. I was on a power high. I looked at my friends, who nodded evilly. I smirked.
"Okay dudes! Come down!" I called, making up threats. "Before I have Little Red sing a popular Disney song!" Raph immediately leapt down from the rooftop. "Or Tails do a Bill Nye impression!" Next was Donnie. "Or I try to test out my kooky powers on innocent bystanders!" Leo leapt down, looking as moody as ever. "Yo, Mad-Eye Moody. Lighten up! I'm not that cruel. Turtles... I'm proud to introduce to you the New Marauders!"
"I'm Little Red!" Chelsea piped up in excitement, bouncing around. "Mikey! I'm your biggest fan! BOOYAKASHA!"
"I'm Tails." Lexi sighed, and she grinned. "I don't have any favorites. I just hang out with these psychos because they're the only ones crazy enough to not notice how psycho I am."
"I'm Dawn." Scarlett stated, crossing her arms. "Cross me, and I scratch your eyes out."
"Ello sweeties. I'm Arctic." I smiled deviously. "We're psychotic! We're psychic! And we're totally awesome! Mess with my home-girls, and I cut your heart out with a spoon, scalp you, and turn your head into a half-decent Halloween decoration. You have been warned." Mikey shrieked in fear.
"And here I thought she'd be more like you, Leo." Raph chuckled, pointing at Leo and I and laughing at us. "Not a psychopathic serial killer from another dimension where, apparently, we're famous."
"Hey!" Leo and I yelled, then looked at each other in shock. I finally got a good look at his eyes, and it was like staring into an ocean. I blinked a few times before snapping out of it and smirking again.
"Who are you really?" Leo insisted. "Those can't be your real names." My friends don't even know my real name, sweetie.
"We're fugitives from every government, known and secret. We've transported into your dimension illegally. The MIB are after us. Our existence is part of many local conspiracy theories... How many back stories must I make up before you realize we won't tell you crap?"
"Yeah, don't listen to Teenage Powered Ninja Girls. Ever! I learned that one the hard way." Chelsea stated. Then, she got into a pose from something like the Exorcism. "I know all! I see all!"
"I don't wanna know." I sighed. "After ten years of knowing you three, you never cease in finding new ways to disappoint me."
"I know what you mean." Leo stated. "Imagine being stuck with my three little brothers as long as I have been. It can be a nightmare." I looked into those blue eyes again, smiling.
"Or..." I replied. "It can be the best dream."
"So... Who's up for bringing these four home?" Mikey asked. The brothers all grudgingly raised their hands. "And who's gonna tell Sensei?" All the hands dropped, leaving Leo's up.
"Good luck with that!" I called, trying to come up with my own original annoying nickname for him. I got it... "Leo-nerd-o."
