Chapter Seven: Lots of adorable Mikey and the gang meets my newbie! Also, a little Capril mixed in! Also I added a very small touch of Apriltello because I just had to. :)

While they are out on the roofs looking for her, it gets frustrating.

Mikey: so, uh, can someone explain to me what we are doing again?

Raph: Looking for something for Donnie to experiment on so it takes his mind off of April.

Mikey: Oh, so can it be anything?

Leo: well technically we are kind of looking for something that can be anything.

Donnie: This is impossible. We are never going to find her.

Mikey: what if we made a trap that involved pizza? Everything likes pizza!

Raph: Shellbrain- that won't work because with in minutes we would catch you instead.

Mikey: oh, you're probably right. Hey, Can we go for pizza?

Donnie: YOU ATE BEFORE WE LEFT!

Raph looking over to Leo.

Raph: déjà vu man.

After awhile of jumping over several roofs, Mikey's tummy grumbles and he gets an idea.

Mikey: hey dudes, wouldn't it be better if we split up? Like I'll go that way and Donnie can go that way, and you two can go that way.

Leo: Mikey, that's actually not a bad idea. I'll keep in contact with you three through the tphones and we can meet back here in 15 minutes. Let me know if you spot anything suspicious.

They all bounce away, Mikey happiest of all as he heads straight for Mr. Murakami's. Once there he checks out to make sure the coast is clear, but hears a noise in the alley. When he turns he sees a rat looking up at him.

Mikey: Aww! Hey little cutie! You must be hungry!

Mikey picks her up and hugs her tight, then looks into her golden eyes. He examines her and notices that she has a small calico tail instead of a rat-tail.

Mikey: hmm, you're not an ordinary rat. That's ok- I'm not an ordinary turtle either. If you can't tell, I'm a mutant.

Mikey smiles and then looks at the street and then back at the rat.

Mikey: I think I'm going to call you Cali- cause you have a Calico tail.

The rat seemed to smile at Mikey.

Mikey: Ok! Stay here Cali; I'm going to get us some grub- trust me- it's going to blow your mind.

Cali cocked her head to the side to try to understand him, and Mikey smiles at her again thinking about how cute she looked.

Heading inside to Mr. Murakami's Mikey sees Casey and April eating.

April: Hey Mikey. What are you doing here?

Mikey: Oh you know, patrolling the area looking for a monster and grabbing some grub for Cali and me.

They all just stared at him while he turned to order his pizza gyozas from Mr. Murakami.

Casey: Wait, so you guys actually decided to go look for it? How do you know the Kraang didn't take care of it?

Mikey thinks for a minute.

Mikey: good point, they probably did. Either way, I get pizza gyozas out of it.

Just then Mr. Murakami hands Mikey his doggie bag.

Mikey: Later dudes enjoy!

Mikey heads back out into the alley leaving the three in the restaurant to continue their night.

As he looks around for Cali he starts to eat the pizza gyozas and then suddenly Donnie appears.

Donnie: How did I know I would find you here!

Mikey looking a little worried shrugged his shoulders and let out a nervous laugh as Donnie texted Leo and Raph.

Mikey: What do you mean brah? I was just grabbing a snack while surveying the area.

Donnie: don't you ever answer your phone?

Mikey looks at his phone to realize it was on silent.

Mikey: My bad D, I promise I was just about to head back.

Donnie: No worries, they are on their way to meet us here, apparently we are going to try again later when we have more information about the DNA monster we unleashed.

Mikey: Hold up bro, I have to give Cali some gyozas before we leave.

Donnie: Give whom what?

Just then the rat comes out from the shadows and Mikey smiles and starts to walk up to her only to stop and freeze as she starts to change form into the girl form with the cat tail.

Donnie: Mi Mi Mikey... Now would be a good time to explain.

Mikey: I dunno man; she was a rat with golden eyes and a cattail. . Oh, wait. DNA Monster Mistress?

She looked sad and hungry and held out her hands for the food in Mikey's hands hoping to resume their previously talked about plan not understanding how different she was.

Donnie: Wha what is she doing?

Mikey: I think she's hungry... Here you go giant rat, cat lady...

Cali frowned and dropped her hand. Her voice was scratchy and mimicked Mikey's voice but more girly.

Cali: Cccaaaalllliiieeeeee

Cali frowned at the sound of her own voice. It wasn't as pretty as she wanted it.

Donnie: Cali?

She looked at Donnie and Smiled.

Donnie relaxed and smiled back.

Donnie: Its ok- acquiring speech takes time to perfect, but we can help you.

Mikey moved to hand her the pizza gyozas when suddenly Leo and Raph jumped in.

Raph: Get away from my brothers!

Leo: Raph, wait!

Raph was already coming at her without taking the time to actually look at what he was attacking.

Donnie: No! Stop!

Donnie jumps in the way and blocks Raphs attempt, protecting Cali. Cali just stands there and watches without even flinching.

Raph: But I thought...

Raph looks at the beautiful creature and blushes profusely.

Raph: oh...

Donnie rolls his eyes and Mikey starts up again with the food. She takes it and looks at Donnie. Donnie motions for her to eat it and she does. Her mind is blown away like the turtles were the first time they ate the pizza gyozas.

Mikey: Feel better now? Cali looks up and Smiles.

Out of nowhere:

Casey: WHO is THAT?

Everyone turns around to see Casey and April standing there watching them.

Mikey: Hey guys, this is Cali. She's the DNA monster.

Casey: Well hello Miss Monster...

Cali looks at Casey and flicks her tail. She's obviously gorgeous and made all the right decisions about her appearance.

April: Ummm... Right. Ok. So now what?

April nudged Casey hard enough to knock him out of his stupor. He blushed and repeated.

Casey: Yeah, now what.

Donnie: Well, if she would like to (turning towards Cali) I'd like to invite you to my lab so I could run some tests and help you figure things out a little better.

Cali looked up at Donnie immediately taking a liking to him (much like Big Foot did) and smiled giving the consent.

Leo: alright so lets head out before anyone sees us. We need to start preparing for tomorrow night anyways.

Casey: I'm all for that!

April: Um, we are in the middle of a date, Casey!

Casey: Hey- you run off to Donnie all the time to help him with experiments! It's my turn now.

Donnie and April both blush and because of the awkwardness she reluctantly agrees.

April: fine, lets go.

They all hop away except for Mikey and Donnie who decide to walk with Cali not sure what she was capable of. After watching the others, she attempts to try what they do with effortless ease surprising Donnie and Mikey.

Donnie: I have a feeling we have stumbled upon something extraordinary.

Mikey: You're telling me! She's the coolest friend I think I have ever had!

With that they followed her to the lair.
