First chapter. Cool! Now we're getting somewhere! I don't own TMNT, just Loda, Aria, Alex, and Ris. Try to steal them, you're dead meat, 'cus I'm gonna send Alex to sic you.For futue refrence, I kinda started with Kisa Sahoma's ideas...Then grew from there...I got my own idead, it's just her ideas were the back bone. Without her, this wouldn't be here!

A padding of sneakers on the slick roads of New York City filled a girl's ears. She was the one walking, her shoes squeaking on the pavement and concrete.

"Stupid sneakers. Why do they call them sneakers if they squeak?" complained Lodema. "They should be called squeakers." She giggled at this.

"I'd better head back. Who knows what trouble Risa will be in with Alex? Poor Aria, dealing with them on her own."

Loda started to jog home when a shadow jumped out of an alley. "I don't have time for this." She shouted to the night sky.

She leapt into the air and did a split-kick. The man reacted with a heel jab that sent Loda reeling. She let out a loud screech of pain and struggled back up.

The man ran to her. She moved her right leg in a counterclockwise motion and tripped him. When he was off balance, she hit him with the palm of her hand.

The man flew backwards and hit his head on a brick wall. He lay there, unmoving.

Lodema let out a smirk. She felt someone watching her and whirled around. She looked up at the sky, and outlined on a building by the moon, was something with glowing eyes and what looked like a ribbon floating in the slight breeze.

In a flash, it was gone.

Loda shook her head and began to examine herself. She had a bruise forming where the man hit her.

"I hope I can cover this up. Aria is gonna flip when she sees this." She told herself and started running as fast as she could home, hoping that no-one else would ambush her.

She reached the front door of her apartment, panting. When her breath had returned to her, she opened the door and stepped inside.

Like she had predicted, Risa and Alex were in a spat and Ariana was in between them, begging them to stop. Then she saw Loda and shrieked.

"Pardus! You're here! Finally!"

Alex glared with her icy eyes. "So, Falcon finally decides to return."

"I told you not to call me that." Lodema stated calmly.

"I can call you anything I want, Falcon."

Suddenly, Risa let out her signature laugh, a shrill 'EERRUP!' 'EERRUP!'

"I see you're content, Hyena." Lodema smiled.

"Well, not entirely. See, Alex attacked me for laughing at her." She reported.

"Alex, what have I told you about beating Risa up?"

"That I shouldn't do it."

"Yeah. You really shouldn't."

"I'm going to bed. See you round." Alexandra said and spun on her heel and started across the ratty carpet.

Loda shook her head. "You'd think that my family could put us in a better apartment."

"Pardus, it's fine! I don't really mind." Ariana chimed out.

"Thanks, Cygnet."

"No problem!"

"It's getting late, we should go to bed. I CALL SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR!!" Risa burst out laughing her usual 'EERRUP!'

"I guess I call the bathroom floor." Ariana said in a low voice.

"But, I was going to call it!" whined Lodema.

"Nope. I called it first! You get the couch." She exclaimed and grabbed a blanket off the sofa and headed toward the bathroom.

Risa yawned and headed for the bedroom floor, leaving Loda with the couch.

"I wonder what Cygnet is up to." She asked herself and plopped on the couch.

In a few minutes, she had already cast off her boat to dreamland.

YESH! I am now done with the first chapter. I hope you like it! Now, I'll bend with five or three reviews! And thank you Cookie! -claps-
