Digging into the pockets of my over-sized trench coat I pulled out a five dollar bill to pay for my hamburger. The employee handed my change of $3.25, I took it and the hamburger and went my way. I didn't really have any place to go; I was just accustomed to roaming the streets aimlessly. I sighed and walked into an alley way and sat on top of a dumpster that was near a manhole cover. Quietly, I started munching on my lunch.

My pointy ear swiveled around; sensitive to a sound coming from my left. I turned in the direction of the noise to investigate what it was. It was a sort of clanking and banging sound that had drawn my attention; I surveyed my surroundings, my bright green eyes glittering with curiosity until I found the source: it was coming from the manhole cover. I narrowed my eyes and flattened out against the top of the dumpster. I didn't want whatever it was discovering me for fear of being sent to a laboratory, like the one I had escaped from. But then again, it might have been thieves; that thought made my hackles rise with anger. If there was anything I hated more than animal laboratories, it was criminals. My claws came forth from my hands/paws ready to strike who ever it was.

But to my surprise, when the manhole cover had been pushed aside, a person didn't step out, but green arms came up and A giant humanoid turtle emerged with an orange bandanna over its eyes. After it climbed out, it looked back down into the empty blackness, another one of these turtles popped out, only this time it wore a purple bandanna. After it stood up it bent back down and placed the manhole back, it stood up straight and brushed itself off.

"To the pizza parlor!" The one clad in orange announced excitedly, shoving an arm forward through the air.

They talk? I asked myself in surprise, well, I guess since these are giant mutant humanoid turtles they could talk just like me.

"But this time, don't try and eat all of the pizza before we get home." The one clad in purple sighed.

In my state of shock I made a huge mistake, I sat up with wide eyes and a gaping mouth.

"What the? Donnie look!" The one clad in orange exclaimed and pointed at me.

The one clad in purple, er, Donnie, looked over at me and his, I'm guessing he's a he, his mouth dropped open at the sight of me.

"Whoa", he muttered, but he quickly caught himself and shut his mouth. "Uh hi." He said moving a little closer. "Do you talk?"

I nodded my head nervously.

Donnie held his hands out in front of him, "I mean you no harm."

I rolled my eyes and stepped down from my perch, I could sense their friendliness and that they really meant to do me 'no harm', "I mean you no harm also, but really, I'm not an alien, you don't have to speak to me as if I just came from another planet." I grinned.

Donnie was taken aback, but thankfully for him, the one clad in orange piped up, "wow! You're actually a mutant like us! Donnie! Can you believe that, there's actually more mutants in this world!" Then his eyes widened further when he noticed my tail appear from under the cloak. "Whoa! You have a tail too!"

"Mikey! That's not very polite!"

I laughed, "no its fine! So I'm supposing you two are Donnie and Mikey?" I inquired.

They nodded, "yeah we're brothers!" Mikey announced. "You wanna come get pizza with us?"

"Mikey!" Don whacked him with some type of stick.

"Ouch! Watch where you stick that thing!"

I giggled again, "Sure, I'd love to come! By the way, my name is Kristina, but you can call me Kristy for short."

"Well, our real names are Donatello and Michelangelo. Don or Donnie, and Mike or Mikey."

"I see, well, what are we waiting for, lets get some pizza!"

"Yeah, enough with interruptions, er, introductions, lets get some pizza!" Mikey whooped.

Donnie tried to smack him with his stick again but Mikey jumped up to the fire escape and took off to the top of the roof laughing madly.

Donnie rolled his eyes and apologized, "I'm very sorry for how he's acting, but he's right, let's get some pizza!" He actually seemed excited; my first impression was him being a really calm or stuck up turtle.

"Don't apologize, it's alright." I winked and started climbing the fire escape. Don followed after me.

At the pizza parlor, we ordered three large pizzas, and while we were walking back along the roof tops we munched on the first pizza. I was sort of confused when Don and Mikey led me to another manhole. "Why are we coming here?" I asked.

"Because this is the way to our place, you can come visit if you like, I don't think Leo would mind." Donnie answered.

"Much," Mikey mumbled.

"I don't want to get you guys in trouble…" I started.

"You won't, Leo just needs to relax a bit," Mikey stated and then stuck his tongue out at the statement.

"Okay… I guess…" I mumbled.

"Come on, follow us." Don instructed, he grasped my hand to lead me along.

I gasped as he grabbed my hand, it sent such a shock through me causing me to lose my balance, no, it wasn't a physical shock it was just a weird feeling. You'd think that I'd want to let go because of it, but in fact, I felt just the opposite, I wanted to keep holding his hand. But when Donnie decided to catch me after I almost fell I almost fainted; now pretty much being in a whole embrace of his sent huge chills down my spine. I closed my eyes pleasurably but I got an opposite reaction from Don.

"Whoa are you alright, I think we need to get you to our place soon!"

He seriously thought something was wrong with me because of how I acted to his soft, gentle, wait! What am I saying! Where are all these thoughts and feelings coming from! I didn't really have time to figure that out because Don swooped me up into his arms and started carrying me; that was the last straw. I fainted.

Opening my eyes, I didn't see anything, just darkness. I slowly sat up and looked around. There was soft glow from a computer's screen to the left. And a door way in front of me, I could tell this by the soft glow underneath it. I was about to stand up when a soothing smell drifted into my nose. I closed my eyes and breathed deeper through my nose to get more of it. It was then that I realized what the scent was, it was Donatello! I quickly stood up and practically ran to the door. I whisked it open to see four turtles including Donnie and Mikey (one of them had to be Leo) and a rat sitting together on two couches and a beat up lazy boy, eating pizza and watching a movie. They all looked in my direction when I burst out of the door.

Donnie quickly stood up and walked in my direction and asked, "Are you alright?"

I nodded my head and asked, "W-what happened?"

Don willingly answered my simple question, "We just came down into the sewer sand you fainted, so I carried you back here, to our home. Its not much, but its home."

It was then when I truly looked around, this place had everything! The things they had may not have been the newest things but they were there, beat up and all. "It's, it's amazing!" I said breathlessly.

Donnie seemed taken aback, "amazing, how?"

I grinned at him, "well it's a lot better then the streets of Manhattan."

"Oh, you, lived on the streets then?" He inquired.

I nodded, "yeah…"

"Uh, excuse me for a second." Donnie then walked over to the rat and started talking to him quietly. I cautiously made my way over to the turtles and sat on the empty love seat/couch. I looked over at the three turtles and noticed the two sitting next to Mikey, one was clad in red while the other was clad in blue. I decided to guess which one was Leo, so I asked the one clad in red, "so, are you Leo?"

He raised his eyebrows for a second and I thought I had scored, but I was soon told otherwise.

"Me, Leo! Are you crazy, why would I ever want to be Leo!" He looked over at Leo with a scowl.

"Oh… sorry." I looked over to the one clad in blue, supposing Leo. "Then you're Leo?" He nodded.

"Our names are actually Leonardo and Raphael. You can call me Leo for short, and Raphael, Raph." He introduced.

"Or Raphie!" Mikey piped up. A pillow was thrown in his direction but he ducked, "ha! Missed me Raphie poo!"

A menacing growl erupted from Raph's throat and he lunged at Mikey. I gasped when he started to throw punches at Mikey, but Mikey successfully blocked all of his attacks.

"Raphael!" A stern voice yelled.

Raph immediately stopped, along with the rest of us; he looked over to the rat.

"You will stop immediately!" The rat barked.

"Yes Master Splinter," Raph said respectfully, but as soon as the rat looked back to Donnie, Raph rolled his eyes and took his spot on the couch next to Leo and Mikey.

I was about to stuff my furry hands in my pockets when I realized that I didn't have any pockets, I started to panic, I wasn't wearing my coat! Where was it?

Donnie sat down and observed my predicament, "we're going to wash your coat, don't worry, you'll get it back."

"But people will see me!"

"There aren't any people down here, it's just us."

I relaxed a little then, but I still had the urge to hide in my coat.

"My child, we were not aware that there were any other mutants among us." The rat, presumably Master Splinter said. I whipped my head around in his direction, my long blond hair whipping Don in the process. "Sorry," I mumbled to him.

"Oh, well, I didn't know that you guys existed either. So that makes us even," I smiled.

He smiled warmly back, "I am Splinter, you may her my sons call me sensei, or Master Splinter, but you can just call me Splinter."

I smiled, "My name is Kristina, but you can just call me Kristy."

Splinter nodded, "So, are you a mutant cat?"

I laughed and shook my head, "no, sorry, I'm a mutant vixen fox."

"Red Fox?" Don asked.

I looked in his direction and nodded, "yeah, how'd you know?"

He shrugged innocently, "well, the only foxes that have a silver coat are red foxes."

"How can they be called red foxes when they're silver?" Mikey asked clearly confused.

"Red Foxes can come in different colors, ranging from reddish, black, and silver. But the Tips of the ears are always black, the legs and feet are always black and the tip of the tail is always white. And…"

"Ok Brainiac! Enough explanation we get it!" Raph exclaimed cutting him off.

I giggled, "I thought it was quite interesting to know Raph! Plus, it's kinda cute that Donnie knows all that. Do you study animals a lot or something?"

Don blushed, "er, sort of, I study everything really."

My eyes widened, "everything? Wow, you must know a lot."

"Uh oh! We got a connection going on here boys!" Mikey teased, wiggling his eyebrows at Don and, I blushed making the silver fur on my face turn a light shade of red. I wasn't completely silver; my fur had a hint of red in it, so it helped hide the blush. All of the brothers laughed, Don even chuckled but when I looked at him he was beet red, the red standing out from his green skin. I smiled at him and placed my hand on top of his, trying to comfort him, but what happened out in the sewers happened again, my eyes blanked out from the shock. Thankfully, Donnie was looking down in embarrassment, so I could hurry and control myself.

Leo finally picked up the remote to continue their movie.

During the movie I started to get a little sleepy eyed and was starting to drift to sleep, but I kept my self awake, well, for the next five minutes. I finally dropped off to sleep.

Voices… voices keep bothering me, wait a second, aren't those the turtle's voices?

"Hey Donnie, maybe you should take her to bed with ya, she's already sleepin' on ya!" Mikey joked.

"No, I don't think the bed would be big enough for both of them, they'd just kick each other off." Raph smirked. Laughing was heard.

I opened my eyes slightly and scowled, then said quietly but loud enough for all of the turtles to hear, "I have an idea, why don't you guys just shut up!" I realized that I had been sleeping on Donnie's chest, er, plastron. He must have turned to nestle in the corner of the couch and I must have slipped up on him and gotten comfy. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, I glanced over at Don, and saw that he was an even deeper shade of red than before. Brothers can be so cruel sometimes.

I stood up and yawned, stretching my arms above my head. I finished my yawn and brought my arms back down and declared, "I think I'm going to be going to bed now…" now that I think about it, where would I be sleeping? "Uh…" I looked around.

Don immediately jumped up and told me, "you'll be sleeping in my room, here I'll show you, it's the same room you woke up in." Again, he grabbed my hand, and my reaction was the same except I managed to stay on my feet this time.

Before he could lead me to his room, Mikey asked innocently, "if you're a mutant, then why are you wearing clothes?"

I looked at Mikey and scratched my head trying to think of how to explain it, I looked down at myself and answered him, "use your imagination Mikey." Mikey pouted but Don quickly but gently led me to the door I had originally came out of before and opened the door, but he didn't let go of my hand, instead, he urged me through and closed the door behind him.

Don led me over to his bed and said, "You'll be sleeping on the bed, I'm going to be sleeping on the floor, we'll discuss your stay further in the morning, but right now, I think you need your rest."

I nodded and frowned inwardly when he let go of my hand.

"You just get yourself settled, I'll be right back." He then left the room.

I sat down on his bed and put my furry head in my hands. What was going on with me! I stayed there for a moment trying to organize the scrambled thoughts in my head, but I soon gave up and slipped under the already ruffled covers and snuggled up into the pillow and…Donnie's scent. Soon, I was fast asleep.

Don's POV:

I exited my room and wandered to the kitchen thinking about all that went on today. What was happening to me? Every time I even get in contact with her I start to get all jittery. Earlier when I had picked her up in the sewers I started getting a warm fuzzy feeling in my chest, and I suddenly had the urge to skip around happily.

But then, when she fell into a deep sleep during the movie and fell asleep on me once I turned my shell against the corner of the couch, I couldn't breath! I just stayed there in shock! Maybe I should consult Master Splinter about this… no; he'd just think I'm crazy, or worse, send Kristy away! No, that couldn't happen!

I made myself some hot chocolate and sat down at the table with a sigh.

"Donatello, what is troubling you?"

I snapped my head up and looked around, whoa! I had been so deep in thought that I didn't even notice my Master was in here!

"I uh, um, nothing, sensei." I muttered.

"Does it have something to do with Kristina perhaps?

My eyes widened slightly but I quickly adjusted them, "no," I said a little too loud and a little too quickly.

Master Splinter's eyebrows raised, "are you sure my son?"

I nodded, I quickly finished my hot chocolate and said quickly, "Uh…I'm gonna go to bed now, goodnight sensei!"

"Good night" I heard him faintly as I rushed out of the kitchen.

I pretty much ran back to my room, but I stopped right in front of the door, I took a deep breath and opened the door quietly, and I then slipped inside.

I looked at Kristy, she was already sleeping, I watched as her chest rose and fell, I sighed, my eyes started to glaze over. But catching myself, I quickly snapped myself out of it, "what is wrong with me!" I muttered quietly.

I quickly grabbed one of the spare mattresses in my room and threw it onto the floor, I grabbed some spare pillows and blankets and set them down on the spare mattress, then I curled up into them and went to sleep.'
