Chapter 4: Breann

Tiffany nodded. "Okay. You win. We'll give you your answers."

"Good."

"Okay, first question. Who are you, what are you, and how did you do that with the stone?" Donatello asked.

"Any specific order you want those answered in?" Tiffany asked jokingly.

"I'm Breann, and this is-" I started.

"No, you're not." The white hedgehog cut me off. I gave him a look. He shrugged. "You're not. Not right now."

"Ah. I get it. We're superheroes of some kind. Right? So we aren't really us right now. Sweet." Tiffany grinned.

The white and black hedgehogs both nodded.

"So, um... How do we turn back?" I asked.

The black hedgehog rolled his eyes before answering.

"When you want or need to transform, you will. Strong emotions of fear or anger will also turn you into your super alter-ego." He growled.

The turtles shared a look.

"You don't really know how you did that, do you?" Donnie surmised.

"No." I admitted.

"Nope!" Tiffany grinned. She was way too excited about this.

I closed my eyes, concentrating. Let's see. When I wanted to change back, I would...

I felt weightless for a second, so I opened my eyes to see the blazing blue glowing ribbons surrounding me again.

Soon, the glow faded away. I looked down at myself. Yep. I was back to normal. I looked around and found the white and blue stone on the ground. I picked it up and tied it around my neck again.

Tiffany's eyes were squinted close. Suddenly, they opened again, and she exhaled.

"Wait... How did you do it?" She asked me, looking slightly disappointed.

I shrugged. "I just... Wanted to." I half-explained. It was all I could really come up with.

Tiffany scrunched her eyes closed again, standing still, but nothing happened.

I turned back to the turtles. "Anyway, I'm Breann, and my friend is Tiffany."

Leonardo nodded, arms crossed. "Okay, so how do you really know us? What's this movie you were talking about?"

"Umm..." I scratched my head, ignoring Tiffany's grunts, growls, and sighs of exasperation as she kept trying (and failing) to turn back into herself. "I don't really know how to answer that. If I told you the full truth, chances are that you wouldn't believe me."

"Tell it anyway." Leo suggested.

"Okay... So, you guys... You aren't really... Real." I shrugged. "What I mean is, Tiffany and I... We're from a different world, where you... Where you're just a movie."

"And a show! And a comic! And a video game!" Tiffany added.

"Well... Several movies." I admitted.

"And multiple shows! And thousands of video games! And I don't know how many comics!" Tiffany threw in.

"Okay, you are not helping!" I growled, spinning around. Tiffany still had those wings, that tail, and was still wearing the black jumpsuit.

"Wait... So we really are a movie? Cool!" Mikey grinned.

A sudden dark light shone behind me. I turned to see Tiffany levitating a couple feet, surrounded by black glowing ribbons. The black hedgehog became a wisp of smoke, which formed the black and red stone.

When the dark glow receded, Tiffany was Tiffany again, hoodie, ripped jeans, rubber boots and all.

"Wait, weren't you wearing sneakers?" I questioned. I noticed this sort of thing. Tiffany almost always wore boots, so I remembered it best when she didn't.

"Yeah. I thought about my rubber boots because we're in the sewers. And now I'm wearing them. I like this. Wanting magic." Tiffany grinned, picking up her stone.

"Alright, now how did you find those stones? And how did you get here?" Raphael asked.

"The stones were just laying on the ground. We tapped them together, that's how we got here. And then, from there I chased Raphael." Tiffany shrugged in reply.

The turtles looked at each other, and shared a whispered discussion.

"Hey, Breann. I figured it out. Why we could jump across the rooftops. Because of the stones!" Tiffany grinned.

"You think I haven't already figured that out?" I snorted.

She shrugged.

Finally, the turtles returned.

"Alright. Do you two have someplace to stay? Somewhere to go? Relative? Friends?" Donnie asked.

I shook my head. Tiffany opened her mouth, and closed it again.

"I thought not. Leo?" Donnie turned to his brother, who shrugged.

"Might as well... As long as they can keep a secret..." Leo seemed to be thinking carefully about something.

"What? What?" Tiffany looked from Leo to Donnie and back.

"You're coming with us." Leo nodded, starting to walk back down the tunnel.

"WHAT!?" Raph yelled, running after his brother and standing in his path.

They held another whispered discussion that sounded more like an argument.

"Fight?" Tiffany asked me.

"Fight." I nodded.

"Two bucks says Leo wins." She smirked.

"I'll take you up on that."

We watched the two for a while. Finally, Raph gave in, and walked up to us. "Alright, you two, let's get moving."

"Pay up."

I handed her a toonie. "You win." I hissed, as we followed the turtles. Raph walked behind us, probably watching us closely.

"So, is this a version I haven't seen?" I whispered.

"2003 show." Tiffany replied. I nodded.

"Touche."
