Sorry if this chapter isn't so good. It ends at a weird part, too. I've had writer's block for the passed few days, and I just wanted to get this out of the way.


The next morning Brooke woke up. Well, she thought she was awake by the sounds she heard in the other room. She stood up, and felt around for the door. She smiled when she felt the door knob against her palm. So far so good. She opened the door and walked out, only to trip and fall. She felt someone help her up.

"You should have gotten someone to help you." Tally told her.

"I know," Brooke said. "Where's everyone?"

"Uncle Raph and Kayla are still asleep, and Uncle Mikey, my dad, Uncle Donnie, and Marine are watching T.V."

"My dad's there?" Brooke asked.

"Yeah..." Tally told her. "Why's that so shocking?"

Brooke shook her head. "Dunno,"

When they got to where the others where, Tally helped her sit on the couch beside Marine. "Thanks," she told Tally.

"No problem."

Mikey looked over at Brooke. "Brookie?" he asked.

"Uh... yeah...?" he hadn't called her that in a long time.

"I need to talk to you." he told her. "Alone."

"Oh... um..."

"Let's go somewhere else, guys." Leo told the others. They all walked out, leaving Brooke and Mikey.

There was a long moment of awkward silence until Mikey finally spoke. "Look, I know you like that guy,"

"Peter." Brooke corrected him.

"Right, Peter. Anyway, I just don't think you should hang out with him."

"But why?" Brooke asked him. "Dad, you don't know him. Yes, his dad was the Shredder, but that doesn't mean he's the same!"

"I know you think that, but come on. It's his fault you can't see anymore."

Brooke snapped. "It was NOT his fault! Victoria and her ninja hit me in the eye with nunchuks like..." she felt around and started twirling her weapons. "this!!"

Mikey looked at her in amazement. "Wait, did you do that on purpose?!"

"Huh?" she didn't realize it until it literally hit her head. "Ouch!"

"Try doing a few tricks with them." he told her.

"What?! Are you crazy?!"

"Just do it,"

Brooke sighed. She twirled them around again, this time tossing them from hand to hand(which was the only trick she really knew how to do). It wasn't much, but it was enough for her to question if she really was blind.

"Dude..." Mikey said to himself. "This is awesome!"

"We gotta show everyone!!" Brooke was so excited that she ended up tripping trying to run into the other room. Mikey helped her up.

"Brooke!!" a voice called.

"That sounded like..." Brooke ran off, putting her arms up so she wouldn't fall again. Mikey followed behind.

"What're you doin' here, ya freakin' jerk!!!!" she heard Kayla yell. She had Peter pinned down with her own sai against his throat.

"I needed to talk to Brooke," he told her.

"I think you've done enough!" she yelled again before Don and Leo pulled her off of him. She started breathing heavily.

Peter looked over at Brooke and frowned. "Brooke," he reached out to touch her cheek. Mikey got in front of Brooke.

"Leave my daughter alone." he told him.

Peter backed away. "Please, I'm very sorry. May I just please talk to her?"

"What you have to say to her, you can say in front of all of us." Leo said behind them.

Peter hesitated, but gave in. "I'm not part of the Foot anymore." he told them.

"How?" Tally asked.

"I decided I had to pick a side, and I chose you guys."

Marine looked around. "Should we trust him...?"

Raph walked in, stretching his arms out and yawning. He stopped when he saw Peter. "Who's this guy?"

"This is Peter," Kayla growled. She tried to run over to punch him, but Raph was able to hold her back.

"So," Lo said, walking up to Peter. "You say you're with us now?"

Peter nodded. It didn't take sight for Brooke to tell that he was nervous. "Yes, sir." he was afraid to say more.

"What do you think, Leo?" Don asked him.

Peter spoke again, his voice cracking. "I- I could speak with your master if you want. Splinter, right...?"

"Yeah," Raph said.

Brooke tried to push pass Mikey. When she did, she took Peter's hand. "I... I'm going with him..." she said, faintly. "Please,"

"What is this?" they heard Master Splinter ask as he walked in. He turned to face Peter. "You must be Peter,"

"Yes, sir." Peter said. "I'm not here to hurt anyone." he then told him.

Splinter looked at him, considering his words.

"What do you think, Sensei?" Don asked. "Do you think we can trust him?"

Splinter watched Peter carefully, trying to decide. Everyone held their breaths. A few minuets passed.

"Grandfather...?" Brooke asked, holding Peter's hand tighter.

"Yes, Brooklynn." he said. Brooke was confused on if that meant he trusted Peter or not.

"C- Can he stay...?"

"Yes, he can stay." Splinter turned and began to walked out. "I'll let you decide his living arrangements."

Peter and Brooke showed a sign of relief. Marine and Tally looked at each other, like they normally do when they don't know how to react. Kayla was furious and stomped out, Raph following behind to try to calm her down. Mikey had a look of annoyance on his face and he watched Peter hug his daughter. Leo showed a little bit of suspicious at Peter, but trusted his father's decision and walked off to train. Don didn't think much of it, and also left the room.

"Wait," Brooke said. "you need a room."

Peter shook his head. "I'll be alright."

"There's no more rooms anyway." Mikey told them.

"H, he can stay in my room." Brooke suggested, beginning to turn red.

"No!!" Mikey snapped almost immediately. "No way!"

"He's right," Peter agreed. "I'll find somthing, don't worry."
