"Carmela? It's a pefect name because your a lizard! You know because of there is a name of a lizard that's called a cameleon and-" Mikey cried with bright eyes before getting cut off by a punch on the arm by a certain red masked turtle.

"Ow! What did you did that for!?" Mikey whined.

"You know why.." Raph growled at him.

Suddenly, they heard a big growl. Everyone started their battle position. They all took their weapons, ready to fight.

"What was that!?" April asked taking out her fans.

"I don't know but, it sounded angry." Raph answered holding tight his sais.

"Actually, that was my stomach." Carmela giggle. "I'm super hungry."

Everyone had wide eyes and stood in there normal positions, embarrassed. They never heard a stomach growl that loud.

"Have the KRAANG feed you since when you were in there?" Donnie asked.

"Sometimes. They only time they don't feed me is when they punish me." Carmela sigh.

"Punish you for what?"

Carmela paused a little bit. She hugged herself and answered "I knew were the rest of the mutagen were. But, i couldn't tell them."

There was a silence in the room until, Carmela continued, "They were using the mutagen for something big. I don't know what it is. The invasion of the city was just plan A."

"What could be bigger than the invasion of New York City?" Donnie thought.

"I knew it! They are making a cow mutant! But, a BIGGER one! Mikey gasps.

Everyone glared at him. Except Carmela who gave a confusing look. She thought Mikey had a lot of funny imaginations in his head. She just smiled until, she thought of a sudden realization.

"Oh no! What if the're looking for me? You all be in danger!"

"We can take them! We always do." Raph replied punching his hands together.

"Yeah! We kinda do this stuff every single day!" Mikey said.

"I don't know..." Carmela said, having a bad feeling about this.

"Don't worry, you'll be safe with us. Trust me." Leo comforted.

In response, she gave the blue leader a weak smile before joining them to breakfast.

The whole day seemed great for Carmela. She bonded with April, played on the arcade and messed around with Mikey for an hour.

Finally, the night had come and it became quiet in the living room until,

"Carmela! you wanna head to the rooftops?" Mikey asked with bright eyes.

Before she could reply, Leo cut her off and answered, "She can't, Mikey! The KRAANG are looking for her everywhere! If we let her out, her safety is in danger!"

Carmela rolled her eyes in annoyance and headed to the sofa. She can handle herself. She watched TV for the evening. For the first time, she felt like she was at home. It was evening and April and Casey entered the turtles place. Casey got surprised seeing a female lizard watching TV in the secret hideout.

"Who's she?" Casey asked, pointing at Carmela.

April looked at where he was pointing and answered, "Oh! I forgot to tell you! The turtles rescued her from the KRAANG. They were torturing her. She stayed here for the night."

Carmela looked at who had come to visit the turtles. She looked surprised. There was April and... a guy?

"There is another?" She asked herself.

The guy looked like a mix of emo and rebel, he carried a hockey stick. Was he here to play hockey with the turtles?

Carmela walked to the two, greeted April and asked, "Who's this?"

"This is Casey. He helps the guys when there's trouble." April answered.

"With a hockey stick?" Carmela chuckled.

"Watch the action before you judge, sweetie!" The hockey player said before losing his balance while kneeling next to his hockey stick.

Both girls laughed before the lizard said, "Well, it's nice to meet you, Casey. I'm Carmela."

"Nice to meet you, Carmen! So, did the guys get pizza?" Casey greeted her after walking off and looking for a meal. Even if he said her name wrong, she didn't want to seem bad. So, she calm herself down and followed April who followed Casey. Mikey came out skateboarding and yelling at the same time. April, who almost got hit by Mikey, yelled, "Watch it, Mikey!"

"Sorry, April!" Mikey yelled while doing some tricks.

Few hours passed by and Carmela and April were bonding a little more. April learned that Carmela was a socialize type and went to clubs with her friends and loves singing karaoke. She also learned that her father was a technician and a scientist and her mother took care of elderly people. Carmela had an annoying little brother that gives her the nerves and she had a cute baby poodle puppy she bought a year ago.

"How did the KRAANG caught you?" April asked of curiosity.

Carmela pause for a second and answered, "They caught me hiding behind the bushes. I run as fast as i could. I ran to a street corner but, it was a dead end. They caught me, tortured me and asked me all about the mutagen of where it might be."

"You mean, they didn't mutated you?" April asked surprised.

"Not exactly. One night, i was in my room, studying something about lizards for my exam coming up and then, i heard something crack. I opened my window and looked outside. I looked down and saw some sort of glowing water on the ground. I was really confused. Then, something hit my head hard. Like it fell from the sky! I was unconscious for a while. When i woke up, i was on the ground. Cats were hissing at me. I didn't understand. Then, i looked at my hands, i screamed. I was a monster! I looked at my back and saw a tail. I was freaking out! I ran to the bushes so no one could see me and well... you know the rest."

"It must have been hard for you." April answered.

"Oh yeah!" Carmela replied, wiping out a tear.

Without a warning, April hugged her tight. It seem to comfort her when she's sad. And it worked. Carmela hugged her back in appreciation. They hugged for a moment and let go. They both smiled at each other. "We're going to be great friends." Carmela thought.

"DINNER'S READY!" Mikey yelled.

Everyone was gathered in the kitchen to eat. Everyone enjoyed the meal. Carmela smiled at all of them. She thought they were a great family. Her smile disappeared after that, thinking about how and where were her family. Splinter noticed her sudden change and asked, "Are you alright, child?"

Everyone was looking at her, which made her uncomfortable and she replied, "No! No! I'm fine! Really!"

Everyone was looking at her, unsatisfied. She quickly got up saying,"You no what? I'm not that hungry.. I'll just be in the couch if you need me."

Once she left, everybody started eating again. April excused herself to the table and went after Carmela. She found her on the couch, staring at the TV which was off. She sat with her and comforted her. Carmela was having a hard time being in hiding. Not seeing her family and friends. She just wish they were safe.

"I think i'll be heading to bed. Goodnight, April." Carmela stood up suddenly.

"Oh, ok. Goodnight."

Carmela walked off to the guest room that Donnie showed her. April watch as she close the door and pitied her on what her new friend is facing.

It was midnight, and everyone was sleeping peacefully. Suddenly, is that someone has left the sewers that very night. The figure climb to the rooftops and looked back saying, "Goodbye, turtles." and ran off.

The next morning, Donnie walks to the kitchen, getting ready for the day. He was about to get some cereal until, he notice a note on the counter. He takes the note and carefully reading it. Once reading the mysterious note, Donnie ran off in panic.

In a messy room, Raph drools on his pillow, sleeping peacefully. Nothing can ruin this moment. Sadly...

"GUYS! WAKE UP!"

Raph falls out of his bed by sudden yell of his brother. He growls and walks out of his room, joining his brothers in the kitchen.

"What's going on?" Raph glares at Donnie, who ruin his sleep.

"I-It's Carmela! She left!" Donnie yelled.

"WHAAT!?
