AN: Okay…. Its been a long couple of days. Family problems and drama that just needs to go away and leave me alone. But luckily, I can escape into my awesome TMNT fandom and have fun with it! Hope you guys enjoy! And thank you to all my reviewers! I love you guys! : )

I had woken up in the middle of the night because of a rather unsettling dream. It had been a few day since our trip to the country side, and I was becoming more and more comfortable in my new home. The lair was quiet, the others still seemed to be asleep. My dream I had was about my brother and it made me very frustrated. I was angry and I needed to let it out, a distraction to get my mind off of it, but what should I let it out on? My gaze locked on Raphs punching bag. He did say was welcome to use it when ever a wanted. As quietly as I possibly could, I started working out. At first, I follow simple hit-kick combos, but as time went on my punches became sloppy. I was losing my focus, my mind just kept going back to my dream and my brother. The angrier I got the harder I hit and the more unfocused I became, I started to imagine I was hitting him instead of the bag, but no matter how hard I punched or kicked I kept seeing his self centered condescending smirk. It just made my blood boil.

I have no idea how much time had pasted but I stopped as a sudden feeling of exhaustion came over me. I sank to my knees panting, only then did I realize I was sweating bullets.

Really? You're done already? I could hear my bothers words from my dream, Wow, you really are as worthless and as weak as I thought…

'Shut up.'

I'm only telling the truth. The truth that you're nothing but a weak, worthless, spineless coward that's afraid to face me.

'Shut up! I'm not weak! And I'm not afraid!' I screamed.

Then why, dear sister, are you hiding on that pathetic back-water planet? There's no reason to lie to your self…. You and I both know you're not strong enough to beat me.

As much as I don't want to admit it, he's right. As I am now there would be no way I could take him in a real fight. I was so distraught by this realization that I clenched my fists and I punched the floor beneath me. 'Why am I so weak?' I asked my self, 'Why can't I be strong enough?'

"Fiurri?"

I jumped to my feet as my thoughts were suddenly interrupted by my by my name being called. Turned around and there stood none other than Mr. Fearless himself.

"You're you're up early," Leo stated.

"I could say the say the same thing to you."

"I always get up this early for morning training. What are you doing up? Working out?"

"Yeah… I uhh…couldn't sleep. I... Had a bad dream."

I was a little embarrassed to give such a childish excuse, but it was the truth after all.

"Bad dream?" he looked concerned, "Wanna talk about it?"

"No…. It… It's nothing really," I didn't make eye contact. It's that I didn't trust Leo enough to share my feelings, I just didn't want to be worried about. They all done so much for me, the last thing I want is to be any kind of trouble for them.

"If you say so…." He didn't sound convinced but he let it go anyway, "Well since you're up, join me for some roof top sparring?"

I could tell he was trying cheer me up. I gave him a smile, "Of course."

"Fiurri!"

"Huh!" I turned to Leo who was giving me a very concerned and slightly irritated look. We were on our way back to the lair after our sparring session.

"You're spacing out again… Still thinking about your dream?"

"I uhh…"

"Look, I know you said it was nothing… but if its bothering you this much, maybe you should talk to someone about it, even if it's not me. It's dangerous to be unfocused like that during battle," Leo is always looking out for everyone, and I am no exception. Always trying to make sure everyone is safe, worrying about everyone else but himself. I suppose that that's what a leaders job is.

"I wasn't unfocused." I'm a horrible liar.

Leo let out a defeated sigh as we approached the doorway to the lair, "I'm just saying…. I would talk to Master Splinter about it. He gives really great advice about stuff like this." He gave me a reassuring smile which I returned as the entrance opened.

"Thank you, Leonardo. I'll think about it."

We exchanged quick bows before about our everyday business.

~Raphael POV~

"Thank you, Leonardo. I'll think about it."

What was that suppose to mean? I woke up this morning, ate breakfast, and started punchin' my bag like I normally do when Leo and Fiurri walk in the lair together. I knew Leo always got up for early morning training, but since when did she start going with him! The even bigger question is, why does it bother me so much! She's a big girl, she can do whatever she wants. It's none of my business if she wants to do some one on one training with Leo. So why do I care? I'm suddenly not in the mood to work out anymore. I go over to the entertainment area where Mikey is watching some superhero movie. I sit on the couch and try and watch too, but I can't focus it.

"Umm. Bro? You okay?" the knuckle head asks.

"I'm fine."

"Because, you been sitting there for the past 20 minutes fidgeting and making your 'I- thinking- about- something- that- ticks-me-off' noises."

"I said I'm fine!"

"This little tantrum wouldn't happen to have anything to do with the fact that Leo and Fiurri spent all morning alone together topside. Would it?" Donnie, Mr. I- know- everything leaned on the back of the couch. What is with these guys? Can't they just leave me alone? I crossed my arms in frustration.

"No. Why would I care 'bout that? They can do whatever they want."

"Oh really?" Mikey said with his annoyin' voice, "Even if they sat on a roof top, held hands, and watched the sun rise?"

"Grrr…"

"Ow!"

Donnie beat me to it and whacked Mikey on the head with his bo staff, "Not helping Mikey."

Mikey rubbed the spot where Don hit him, "Who said I was trying to help?"

"Ignoring Mikey…. Raph, it's obvious you like her," said Don, "Why don't you just… ya' know, talk to her."

"Yeah Raph. She totally likes you too. She already gave you a kiss, remember?"

"First of all," I growled, "She lives here. I talk to her everyday, we all do. Second of all, That was NOT a kiss. That was her learning english. And lastly, It's none of your damn business!"

Mikey raised his hands in surrender, "Okay! Okay! Calm down Raph!"

"We were only trying to help," Don said apologetically.

"Look, I appreciate the concern, but there's nothin' to be concern with!" This is gettin' to be to much for me. "I'm gonna go see what Casey's up to." And with that, I left. End of discussion.

Mikey and Don looked and each other, "He's go it bad, doesn't he?"

"Looks that way, Mikey."

Sorry it's kinda short. The next chapter will be longer. : )

Well…. Its 5 in the morning…. I should go to bed. Hope you guys liked it!
