Chapter 1

April O'Neil walked briskly down the sewers of New York City. She had huge news to tell the Turtles. She swiped some of her red bangs out of her eyes so she could see were she was going. She made a left turn at the fork in the sewers and saw light from the other end. April increased her speed. She didn't have a lot of time.

Before she knew it, April was at the entrance of the Lair. She looked in the living area and saw no movement. She checked the kitchen to see if they were eating, it was almost 5:00. No luck. She then thought that Master Splinter had them training.

April walked down the hallway to the training room. She reached the door and pressed her ear against it. She heard the clank of Michelangelo's nunchuck's and the bang of Donatello's Bo staff. She lightly knocked on the door, not to loud, but loud enough for them to hear. All the fighting decreased and she heard shuffling of feet.

April backed away from the door just as the door opened. Leonardo's head popped out and looked around. His blue eyes fell on April, he opened the door to reveal the rest of the Turtles. Donnie gave her a worried look and she managed a feeble smile.

"April?" Leo asked.

She looked back up at the eldest turtle. "Do you guys have a free minute?"

Leo nodded. April turned back into the hallway and went to the living area, where she sat on the edge of the couch. In less than a minute, all the Turtles filed out into the room. Donnie sat next to her, Mikey sat on the floor into front of the couch, Raph at the end of the couch, and Leo leaned against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. "What's up?"

April took a deep breath, " You know who Katie Bracket is?"

Mikey nodded eagerly. "The famous singer and actress? The Katie Bracket that does her own stunts? The one that could probably take any of use down, including Raph?"

"Yup, that's her," She paused and looked at all of them. " Here's the part I want to tell you guys. She's my cousin."

All their jaws dropped. Mikey put his head on her knees. "You mean, you're cousin is Katie Bracket? The Katie Bracket?"

She nodded. "Yup, and she's moving to New York to live with me!" she exclaimed. She was really happy to have her cousin come live her.

Donnie turned to her. "But, what are going to tell her about your Dad?"

April looked up at him. "I'm going to tell her the truth."

Mikey jumped up. "Does this mean I get to meet the famous Katie Bracket?"

She shrugged. "I don't know,"

Leo spoke up, "Does she know ninjutsu?"

She nodded again. "And she's extremely talented at it."

Leo thought about this for a second. "Maybe I can ask Master Splinter," He wondered out loud.

They all turned to look at him. "Ask me what?" Everyone jumped at the sound of Master Splinter's voice. He had come up on them so suddenly and silently.

"To see if we can meet April's cousin, Katie Bracket," Leo said.

Master Splinter walked closer to them. "Katie Bracket, the actress, you say? I've heard many good things about her. She is extremely skilled at ninjutsu, so," He stroked his beard. "I think it would be an experience to meet her, you could learn something. Ms. O'Neil, she is your cousin?"

"Yes, sensei."

"Hmmm, why haven't you mentioned her? She's a very famous girl," He said to her.

"I don't want all the camera's and flashing lights following me, but now I'm going to have that," She sighed. She looked at Mikey, who was looking up at her with a happy look on his face. She smiled down at him. He must really like Katie Bracket. She turned to Donnie, "What time is it?"

He looked at his watch. "5:15, why?"

"She's leaving L.A. right now and will arrive hear at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning," She got up and stretched. "Well, I better get going, I have to get her room ready."

Donnie quickly jumped up. "I'll walk you to the ladder,"

April thanked Master Splinter and said good-bye to the rest of the Turtles. She walked towards the entrance, quickly followed by Donnie. He could sense something was wrong with her. "April? What's wrong?"

She shook her head. "Nothing," She said flatly. He knew better, but he didn't push the subject. They've only known each other for a week or so, but Donnie could tell if April was troubled. He sighed silently, so April didn't hear him.

Soon they reached the ladder. April turned around and said her good-bye to Donnie, then, she climbed up the ladder and opened the manhole. She climbed onto the pavement of the abandoned alley. She got up and put the manhole over its hole. She dusted herself off and walked out of the alley. She walked to her apartment building. She walked up the steps and heard some yelling. April knew it was just the landlord arguing with one of the tenants about something. She opened the building's door and walked to her apartment. She took out her key to unlock it. She walked in and shut the door behind her. Making sure she locked it, April then went to the guest bedroom to get it ready for Katie.

April had washed the bed sheets early, so they should be nice and clean. She took off the pillows, then, she started putting on the sheets. They were all white, so it was kind of hard to identify the sheets, but she figured it out. After all that was done, she put the pillowcases on the pillows and put them on the bed. By the time all this was done, it was already 5:30.

April walked out into the kitchen to make something to eat. She opened one of the top wooden cabinets and pulled out the yellow box of Velveta's Macaroni and Cheese. She set the box next to the stove and bent down to opened one of the bottom cabinets to pull out a small pot. She got up to put water in the pot. Then, she put the stove and turned it on and waited for the water to boil.

About 15 minutes later, the macaroni and cheese was done. April got to get a bowl. She brought it next to the pot and put some into the bowl. She turned off the stove. Then, she sat at the table and ate her dinner.

When she was done eating, April put the bowl and pot in the sink. She turned off the kitchen light and made her way to her own room. Once she got there, she got her pajama's on and set her alarm clock to 4:45. She looked at the time and was thankful that it was only 7:00. She had plenty of time to sleep. April got into her bed and covered up with her purple sheets.

April did a lot of tossing and turning before she went to sleep. The last thought she had before sleep set in was; What've I gotten myself into?
