-At River's Middle School-

River dove for the speeding volleyball , as if the whole scene was in slow motion. Hands forming into the position, and hit her knee pad on the ground, and she managed to get the ball up enough to give to the setter. "Thank god" she prayed to God.
The coach still wasn't happy with their game. He said that they needed to have better coordination. "As if we don't already" River rolled her eyes in her mind. River couldn't wait to see Leo again; she might just keep her spandex on.

-Kraang Lair-
A loud buzzing of powerful surges of electricity sounded throughout the building. A mechanical banging of marching feet got closer to the door.
"Kraang will destroy those whom are called the Turtles on the day that is at night that is now."
"Kraang will follow Kraang to the lair of the ones who are called by the name of the Turtles and Kraang will celebrate with that who is called Kraang"

-River's POV-
I was walking home, regretting wearing these skin tight spandex and a "Volleyball of Greater Manhattan Area" sweatshirt. I decided to call Leo, pulling out my ePhone and dialing his number. The annoying computerized brinnnnnnnnging of the phone began.
"What da ya want, princess?" I heard Raph yell at me.
"Greetings, I'm looking for a less crazy person to talk to. Notice my conjugation. I want to talk to Leo." I was enjoying tearing Raph apart. I was almost laughing out loud, just imagining his pissed off face he made when Mikey ate the last of the sludge-cream.
"Would ya like dat served on a silva plata too, bitch?" He rebutted, not a beat off.
"Oh sure, I'll take a side of Leo as well please. I'm famished." I laughed, not being able to hold it in any more. I could hear him sniggering, something I had not heard; I had never heard a legitimate laugh from Raph. It was nice.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned swerved around, only to see none other than the red turtle.
"Hey, Raph. Miss me?" I mocked jokingly.
"Nah." He replied simply. We walked a few more blocks like that. Occasionally laughing at a few planes navigating their way in the dark, as we often did earlier in the year. Once we got to Crystal Avenue, he stopped abruptly, pulling me back. "Riva." He asked pleadingly, staring down at the ground. I stopped and put my hand on his shoulder, in case he didn't feel well. Probably lifted too many weights after eating.
I stood up abruptly when I heard a quiet sob. He seemed to just melt, as if he was chocolate in a melting pot. He put his hands behind his head, and his head on his knees. I didn't know what to do. I usually rely in Yahoo Answers for my social problems. I figured silence was the best solution. I sat down, lightly running my fingers over his neck. When that didn't work, I took his head in my hands and had him look at me.
"Raphael." I said strictly, looking him straight in the eyes. He looked into mine.
"You will be ok." I convinced the turtle. "Raph, look at me. I don't know what has gotten into you. I don't know why you are upset. Whether you want to tell me or not is your decision. Just know I'm here if you ever need me. Understood? Raph look at me." I paused, having him look at me. Once I got eye contact again, I continued. "Who's the badass New Yorker?" I asked jokingly as I punched his shoulder lightly.
"I am." He said softly, quivering.
I looked at him, smiling. "You're goddam right." As I convinced him to go back.

-In Donnie's room-
Chemicals fizzed, and computers buzzed away. "Kraang report finished. Level 5.0 take extreme caution"

-River's POV
I still didn't know what was up with Raph. He doesn't just cry out of nowhere. I decided to hold his hand for the rest of the way home, him towering over me.
"This is why I love Raph" I thought "He's so unpredictable."
He looked down appreciatively at me. He urged me to move in closer. I did. "Don't mention dis when we get home, ok?" He pleaded. I whispered back a yes. Out of the blue, I found his lips on mine. I struggled, knowing Leo would NOT be pleased at Raph. I got my ePhone out, ready to sprint.
I felt betrayed.
I helped him, and he tries to make me cheat. "You had your chance" I muffle through his kiss. He looks at me.
"What?"
I slap him and take off in a mad dash. I didn't feel safe without Leo. "Don't let your guard down, Raph" I wink back at the astonished Raph.

-Leo's POV-
I am going to murder him.
There is no excuse for trying to steal my girlfriend, to the point where she feels molested by my own brother. "Inexcusable" I whisper to myself, pacing rapidly awaiting River's return. I hear a door slam, knowing she took the super short way I showed her. I ran to find her, not able to wait to comfort her. I saw her, and immediately took her in my arms, stroking her hair, whispering into her shivering head. I carried her upstairs, blowing up the air mattress so she could sleep in my bed.
"River, you ok?" I ask into the bathroom door. I hear a sob, knowing that Raph had hurt her not only emotionally, but mentally and physically. I want to comfort her.
But. That.
I blush slightly, pushing the door open and tossing a towel over the shower. Careful not to look over. I hear her sob again, and hoping she's wrapped up in the towel, I hug her and whisper comforting things into her ear.
I've little experience with this, for I have never had a girlfriend before this. I look down, seeing that she is indeed wrapped up in the towel, silently breathing a sigh of relief.
"I need to talk to Raphael" I hear her whimper.
I step back, my eyes wide open. "But. Why?" I ask, astounded at her wish.
"Leo, step down." She looks at me. "I'm not good with guilt, or not knowing something. I'm very nosy. You can talk as well if you wish, to Raphael."
I'm glad she's not calling him Raph, so I agree as she pushes me out of the bathroom, touching a pressure point on my plastron. I fall over my feet, laughing. She looks over at me with an evil smile that boasts "Found your weakness" tauntingly.
And thus, the tickle fight was pursued.
It was only until a little while later that I remember she was naked the whole tickle fight.

-River's POV-
I felt sick to my stomach, knowing that Raph either would be heartbroken or careless about the situation; either of them would hurt my esteem.

A.N.
So sorry that I haven't updated in forever! Ahhh! Stupid school...
I remember that one of my friends had a tortoise that, when poked in the right place on his shell, would run like crazy(for a tortoise XD). So I incorporated it into this.
My favourite character is Raph, but Leonardo is close behind. Stupid Karai ;A;

Byez!
