Chapter 6- Secrets Revealed

It was 8am when the girls woke up. Riley, Violet and Lilly got out of bed and saw that Kim wasn't in hers. They walked out into the living room and saw her enter the lair smiling.

"Why are you so happy this morning Kim?" Lilly asked knowing Kim couldn't lie today

"Hmmm? Oh! I went back home" She replied walking to the kitchen and making some coffee

"Why'd you go home?" Vi asked

"I missed it and I decided on something"

"Well what was it, fearless?" Riley moaned impatient

"How 'bout we show our friends where we all live? I mean our injuries are all better so we can all go home" Kim said happily

"That's great!" Lilly cried "I missed my toys- I mean my comic books"

"And I missed my lab and abandoned, unfinished inventions and gadgets" Violet added

"And I just miss my lovely bike, my pride and joy" Riley finished

"Great!" Kim cried "When do you all want to leave?"

"Why do you want to leave so badly Kim?" Violet asked sneakily

"Because I don't want to see they guys' faces when we tell them" She replied

Kim's sisters weren't expecting that answer. They didn't want to tell the guys and they all didn't know how to tell them either.

The guys suddenly came into the living room and were clueless to the current discussion

"Morning ladies!" Mikey chirped "What are you all talking about?"

Kim was about to answer when Lilly covered her mouth. This whole truth business was going to be harder than they all originally thought

"Oh! We're just talking about how April's stress levels and her shop went last night with Kim's help. That's all" Lilly said sheepishly and Riley and Violet nodded. The guys didn't seem convinced

Kim removed Lilly's hand from her mouth and spoke

"No we weren't girls. We were talking about going home" Kim said

The girls slapped their foreheads and moaned and the guys were shocked. Yes, they knew this day would come, but they didn't want it to be today.

"You're leaving?" Donnie asked quietly

"We're so sorry, Donnie, but we miss our place and you're all welcome to drop by anytime" Vi answered

"We just think it's time, that's all. It's nothing to do with you guys, you've all been great and we love you all. Nothing changes and we'll always visit" Lilly tried to reason

"It's not the same, though" Mikey mumbled "But we can't stop you all and if it means you feeling safe to travel again, then who are we to argue"

His brothers nodded and Lilly, Violet and Riley ran up to them and kissed them, then looked at Kim, afraid of what she would say.

"Hey, don't look at me like that" Kim smiled waving her hands in surrender "If you hadn't before then I think you'd be making a mistake and doing something stupid" She continued "…like me" she mumbled

"What did you say?" Riley asked innocently, even though she and her sisters were the only ones that did hear what she said

Kim looked at her and walked away with a 'nothing Riley'

"So close" Lilly whispered

1 hour later, the girls were home, well, they were at their temporary sanctuary. It was like the turtles' lair, but had carpet, painted walls, elevators, larger and more rooms, 6 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, a dojo, a large kitchen with a long table, a weapons room, 2 garages, a spacious lab, a games room, a study for Kim and a music room the size of the turtles' dojo that was next door to a dance room, art room and a ballroom that they used for formal affairs, events and birthday parties. They also had a meditation room with a pond and memoir of their past and parents.

"Man, it's good to be home" Kim whispered dropping her bags clothes that April bought for her onto the floor

"Yeah, but I'll miss Mikey" Lilly replied

"And Raph" Riley added

"And Donnie" Violet finished

Lilly then headed to the games room, Vi headed to her lab and Riley went to the garage to check on her 'baby' that was her bike. Kim was left standing in the walk way

"And Leo, too" Kim said quietly, wiping away a loose tear and walking to the music room

Kim grabbed her acoustic guitar, plugged in her microphone, took out her song and played. Kim used to write, dance, sing and play back home in England and at school, too, but now she only played to herself…if you were lucky.

Kim's fingers glided ever so lightly over the strings and since that night she was followed 2 months ago, Kim felt at peace, because her song was about Leo…technically.

Let's go back
Back to the Beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned
'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying' to fit a square into a circle
Was no life I defy

Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams
Let it wash away my sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean, ohh

I'm shedding, shedding every colour
Tryin' to fins a pigment of truth beneath my skin, ohh
'Cause different doesn't feel so different
And goin' out is better than, always stayin' in
Feel the wind

Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams
Let it wash away my sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean

I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming clean

Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams
Let it wash away my sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean

Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams
Let it wash away my sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean

Let's go back
Back to the beginning

Loud cheers and clapping was heard and Kim saw her sisters by the double doors of the music room

"That was awesome!" Lilly cried

"Yeah, why don't you sing and play anymore?" Violet asked

"…I haven't found the love for it since mum" Kim answered quietly

The girls were all silent, thinking of their mother

"That doesn't mean you should stop, sis." Riley said back "Mum wouldn't want you to….she wouldn't want any of us to stop"

"…You're right Riley. Mum wouldn't want us to stop being who we are for her sake" Kim agreed

"So, can we bring back…" Lilly started and pulled an old dusty blanket to reveal her old drum kit that had their band's name across the front "Eternal Phoenix?"

They all looked at each other, then at Kim who thought and nodded, smiling widely

"Wahoo!" Lilly cried, playing her drums

"Awesome!" Violet yelled uncovering her keyboard and started playing to Lilly's beat

"Wicked!" Riley roared picking up her electric guitar, plugging it in and played along with Lilly and Violet

Kim was staring at them, smiling, they all never looked so happy with music since they were all 11. She decided that Riley was right, so she picked up her microphone again and joined her sisters in singing with some 'mmmm's and other phrases

The girls' mother was known as Pegasus back in the magical realm. When you're a witch you could pick a name and Erika Phoenix chose Pegasus as her name. When the sisters were 8, they started a band and named it after their inspiration and famous mother, who was always there for them, and always will be, eternally. She was their Eternal Phoenix.

"I have an idea, Juliet. Let's show everyone our band and we can play your new song" Vi suggested

"Actually, I have a song I found, Juliet. Can we play it, please?" Lilly pleaded handing over Kim's song that was about her feelings for Leo

"B-but can't we play a different song Lills?" She stammered

"Oh, please Juliet!?" Lilly cried "Please, it could have been an old song on mum's and she never had time to show and play it for us" She finished acting innocent and playing dumb when she knew who's song it was and who it was about

Kim sighed "Alright"

"Yay! Let's play it now and sing it word for word!" Lilly cheered

Kim froze. The end of the song said "I love you Leo".

'Doesn't matter. I just won't say it. Lilly won't know the difference, besides, it's not like she can force me to tell the truth' Kim thought and the four sisters begun practicing their song 'Now you Know'.

Back at the lair, the guys were trying to adjust to the girls not being around, but they were all bummed. Leo was missing Kim and he decided that they should all go out to the sewers to take their minds off the sisters.

"Leo, can we just go home?" Mikey whined in the sewers for the eighth time in the last 5 minutes

"No Mikey. C'mon we need to take our minds off the girls and -" Leo stopped and signaled to his brothers to listen

It was talking, someone was in the sewers. The turtles followed the sound of the talking and saw four early 20's looking guys. Leo looked up and saw a pipe hidden in the shadows above the group, he nodded to his brothers and pointed up and they all nodded, jumping up silently to the pipe and crouched listening to what they were talking about.

One of the guys was talking on the phone, another was pacing beside him, the third was reading a map and the last one was sitting down, leaning against the wall…dozing

"Yes sir, we're here…no, we haven't located…yes we're reading the map…yes he is…but sir, we…okay…right…understood, as long as you hold up you end of the deal…correct, goodbye" The guy on the phone hung up and turned around to the others "Shredder wants these turtles within the next couple of days" He stated calmly

Alarm bells went off in the turtle's heads

'SHREDDER!?'

They all suddenly had a sickening thought

'THE GIRLS!'

The guy with the map looked up and spoke

"And what of the girls?"

"He gave us his word that when we deliver his enemies, ours will follow."

"'Bout time Randy. Robert, Dan and I were getting impatient with this bucket head." The guy pacing said stoned faced and had stopped pacing

'NO!' The turtles thought distressed 'NOT THEM!'

Randy stepped forward and smirked and the turtles got a good look at him. Randy was 5'11 with dark brown hair, brown eyes and the biggest, sickening smirk on his square shaped face.

"Ditto Brandon, but if it means capturing those stupid Phoenix sisters, then it's worth it" He replied

Brandon was 5'11½ with jet black hair, tanned skin, dark blue eyes and an oval shaped face that showed a narrow eyed and cocky grin of a psycho

"Agreed" Brandon said "Robert, any idea where Shredder's bloody map is leading us?"

Robert was 5'10 with golden, messy hair, light skin, light brown eyes and a cute teen, innocent smile on a round-ish face

"Well, I know Greek, but this map is saying we go North then East"

'That's our lair!' The turtles thought

"But that can't be right, because that's just a dead end. This map is faulty, because my Greek speak is flawless" Robert finished

"I think you mean Geek Speak, dude!" Dan cried out and started laughing

"Shut it fat boy!" Robert yelled back

"Make me, Rob no fun. Rob no fun, Rob no fun, Rob no fun." Dan sang loudly

Dan was 5'9½ with pale-ish skin, black/dark brown hair, hazel eyes, a nice innocent smile that didn't show his teeth and his face was an oval with a bit of block shape

"Shut it the pair of ya'!" Randy roared and everyone went silent

"We want those girls dead ya hear! Shredder can lure them out of…wherever it is they're hiding, but to do that, we need those abominations!" They all nodded and stood up

"C'mon, let's come back down Thursday night" Randy finished

"But that's 3 days away dude" Dan cried

"No stupid, it's 2 days away" Robert bit back annoyed and they all took off into the sewers leaving the turtles in the air on the pipe.

When they were all sure they were gone, Mikey spoke

"…..We're so screwed"

"Let's head back to the lair, fast!" Leo commanded and they too, took off

The guys ran all the way back to the lair yelling for Master Splinter

"Master Splinter! Master Splin-" Donnie yelled but stopped

Kim, Violet, Riley and Lilly were all talking with Master Splinter on the couch.

"Ah, my sons. Come, take a seat. The girls here were just talking about a surprise they wish to show us." Master Splinter said

They guys quickly forgot about the events in the sewers and sat down

"As we were saying, Master Splinter. My sisters and I wish to invite you all and April and Casey to our-" Kim started, not sure of how to describe their sanctuary

"house!" Lilly chimed in

"Technically, it's a sanctuary" Violet elaborated

"Right, thanks guys. For what you've all done for us, we have a surprise to show you all to show you our appreciation." Kim finished awkwardly

"That sounds lovely, thank you. We will be over tomorrow night." Master Splinter answered and the girls left with a kiss and a wave to the guys.

The following night, Riley and Violet went over to the lair and saw the guys waiting for them along with April, Casey and Master Splinter. Violet was wearing a black leather jacket with the sleeves pushed up to her elbows, a long greenish dress top with patterns over it with a white boob tube underneath, dark blue tight leggings and pink ankle heels with a red rind and black bracelet as accessories.

Riley was wearing a black sleeveless top with an identical grey shirt underneath it, dark grey short shorts, short black fingerless gloves and thigh high black boots with multiple silver bangles and silver necklaces.

"Wow!" April cried "You guys look great!"

"Thanks April" Vi replied calmly, even though Donnie was staring at her and Raph's stare at Riley "Lilly designed them all. She didn't want to show off her outfit yet and when we left she was trying to convince Kim to wear her outfit."

"I told you to wear something nice" April mumbled to Casey who just wore his usual top and pants with runners

"Chill guys, if we told you what to wear, then part of the surprise would have been ruined. Besides April, somehow, you had an idea and decided to dress fancy" Riley commented

April was wearing a sleeveless, dark blue dress shirt, black pants, silver flat heels, silver bangles and multiple necklaces and her hair was tied in a loose, curly side pony-tale

"Thanks" She replied bashfully

"Okay everyone, ready?" Violet asked and they all nodded "Great! Follow us, watch where you step and memorize the route we take please, but we'll still give you a map and codes anyway…but it's good to know. Let's go!"

The group all walked for almost 50 minutes when Violet stopped them and stepped over a device that triggered their invisible alarm. She then turned left and pushed a brick that revealed a keypad. Violet typed in some numbers and the wall rose revealing another wall where she pressed her hand to the side and spoke

"Violet and Riley Phoenix and guests"

The second wall moved and she and Riley stepped to the sides of the entrance and moved their hands to their sides and allowed them to pass them with a "Whoa"

"Welcome!" Lilly cried from up on the second level leaning on the balcony. She grabbed hold of the railing and flipped over, landing safely and stood up.

"Hope these two got you all here safely. Nice look April" She giggled happily at Mikey's incredible stare

Lilly was wearing a peach top with ruffle sleeves, light blue denim jeans that touched the floor with rips at the knees and white and black converse shoes.

"Thanks Lills, you too. Where's Kim?" April asked

"Uh, she's hiding…" Lilly replied sheepishly

"Ummmm, Lilly…" Violet started, but turned to Riley for help

"Yeah?"

"Does she know that everyone's-" Riley got cut off

"Lilly there is no way, absolutely no WAY I'm wearing that outfit of your. I mean I love you, but I know my own taste. So I took the liberty and your genre idea and made…" Kim came down complaining and saw everyone "…this" she froze

Lilly looked Kim up and down and Leo was trying hard not to stare

"Hey, you look awesome! That's better than my idea! Ha and Miss Baxtor said you couldn't sew! Maybe you can design with me!" Lilly cried happily

Kim was wearing a white tank top underneath a black thin sleeved top with rips across the front and back with tight grey boot leg jeans, thin multiple black belts, 2 silver bangles on her right wrist and a thick black bracelet on her left wrist. Her hair was down and curled, but not overly curved and she wore silver heels.

"Uh, thanks sis, but I'm fine with not designing for a living. And, could you maybe have told me everyone was here, oh I don't know, BEFORE I came out rambling like a monkey" Kim complained

"Hey don't worry about it Kim, besides you look great!" April cheered

"Thanks…hey nice look April" She replied

"Okay, I'm giving tours with Violet, so if everyone will please follow us." Lilly said happily and guided them with Violet around the house while Kim and Riley snuck into the music room to finish preparations.

32 minutes later

"And this is our music room" Violet finished opening the doors

The room was pitch black with only a little light showing the way to the seats with a 'T' shaped light, like at a modeling runway

"Come in, come in and watch your step" Lilly called as everyone slowly walked in the 'T' formation and took their seats while Violet and Lilly walked away in the darkness.

"Yo, Donnie!" Mikey called out "Why can't we have music rooms?"

"Because, Mikey! We don't play instruments and we wouldn't use one" Donnie hissed back

Suddenly all of the lights went out and a centered spotlight appeared and Kim walked out to the microphone stand

"Master Splinter, April, Casey, guys, thank you all so very much for opening us up to your home and family and your hearts. We are so lucky to call you our friends and our family" She said

Master Splinter was touched that these sisters accepted them as friends and as family too

"We thank you for all of your kindness and help. We show our appreciation tonight with a performance from a band that broke up when the band's manager and inspiration died. So, for the first time in 7 years, please enjoy 4 selective songs handpicked by the band's members performed by "Eternal Pegasus!" Kim yelled and everyone cheered and clapped as many colourful lights turned on and revealed on stage, Violet on bass guitar, Lilly on drums, Riley on electric guitar and Kim as vocals.

They started off with the song 'I think I'm in love with you' picked by Violet. No one knew how great the sisters were at playing and singing, especially Kim.

'She's just like her mother' Master Splinter though, watching Kim sing with a smile on her face

Then Lilly started the drums for 'So do I say sorry first?' that Riley chose and she quickly joined her electric guitar in which earned a big applause for her guitar skills. As the audience applauded that song, Violet quickly put down her bass guitar and brought out a mix machine and the girls played 'Burn' picked by Kimberley.

Finally, it was time for the dreaded song Kim wrote and promised to sing for Lilly. Kim stepped forward into the spotlight and spoke softly while Violet changed to Kim's acoustic guitar

"This last song is one that Lilly picked. It hasn't yet been heard by anyone before tonight and it is a song that I composed and wrote myself. I wrote this song during our time at the lair and for someone special. I hope you all enjoy it" Kim said her nerves kicking into overdrive

The girls knew who she was talking about, Raph, Mikey and Donnie knew who she was talking about, but everyone else, especially Leo, passed it off as a song for their mother.

Kim took a deep breath and heard Lilly start the drums, but she remained silent. She looked over the audience and at Leo and she stepped back a step and Riley quickly walked up to her and turned the microphone off.

"Juliet, if you don't want to sing this song, we understand. We can play Lilly's next choice 'Love Story'." She whispered

Kim looked over at Violet who had her guitar around her neck and held a comforting smile. She then looked at Lilly who was worried she had pushed Kim into this too much, she didn't want to scare or embarrass her.

Kim looked back at Riley who's face showed understanding, trust and confidence in her. Kim sighed

"No." She said quietly "I promised Lilly and I stick to my promises. Besides, I wrote this song and I like it, I should share it with the world and our friends, it's what mum would have wanted me to do."

"Are you gonna tell him?" Riley asked. Kim suddenly knew that Riley knew the truth about her song and she smiled thankful that Riley didn't say anything

"No. I can't do it, I'm sorry" She replied

Riley nodded and walked back to her place. Kim took another deep breath and nodded for Violet to start the song 'Now you know' off and her sisters soon joined in too.

In these eyes
More than words
More than anything I've spoken
As the skies turned to grey
My heart's just about to crack open
So the story goes
There's something you should know
Before I walk away
and blow the ending

I never wanna be without you
Oh no, here I go
Now you know
What I feel about you
There's no running
I must have been wrong to doubt you
Oh no
There I go
No control
And I'm fallen
So now you know

Feel so light
Craving oxygen
All this truth's left me empty
Will you run
Can you handle it
'Cause I need you to tell me
Maybe this is bold
But I'm hoping you'll stay for the happy ending

I never wanna be without you
Oh no, here I go
Now you know
What I feel about you
There's no running
I must have been wrong to doubt you
Oh no
There I go
No control
And I'm fallen
So now you know

No I won't look back
When I tell you what I think about you
No I won't look back
When I tell you what I think about you

So the story goes
Yeah
You already know
So don't be a fool
And spoil the ending

I never wanna be without you
Oh no, here I go
Now you know
What I feel about you
There's no running
I must have been wrong to doubt you
Oh no
There I go
No control
And I'm fallen
So now you know

I never wanna be without you
Oh no, here I go
Now you know
What I feel about you
There's no running
I must have been wrong to doubt you
Oh no
There I go
No control
And I'm fallen
So now you know

"I love you, Leo" Kim said at the ending. She froze

'Did I just?' She turned to see her sisters high five each other and smile at her, but when they saw her face they frowned.

Kim dropped the microphone with a loud thud that was heard through the speakers and she ran as fast as she could out of there with silent tears running down her face.

"Oh no" Violet said quietly

Leo quickly recovered from the pure shock and darted after Kim in hopes of catching up with her

"My children" Master Splinter called to them and the sisters jumped down and faced him "Did you arrange this event so Kimberley could admit her feelings to Leonardo?"

"Yes, Master Splinter" Riley said "But we also arranged this as a show of our appreciation."

"That may be Riley, but it is not a happy occasion if one of us is unhappy. You should not play around with love, my children, especially within a family. If Kimberley wishes to tell Leonardo, it should be when she is ready and she feels the time is right and not when she is forced." He added

The three sisters looked at each other guiltily

"Master Splinter" Lilly started softly "We-we need to tell you something…in private if you don't mind"

Master Splinter nodded and the girls took him across the room where no one would hear them and they told him everything about their pasts, parents and their gifts.

"We're so sorry Master Splinter" Lilly whispered

"We should have told you, but we didn't know how" Violet continued

"And we thought things would go wrong like before. Not that we are suggesting -" Riley tried

"I understand perfectly and I see why your parents were murdered and why Brandon did not accept you, Riley." Master Splinter interrupted "I am terribly sorry for what has happened to you all, deeply I am, but I believe your sister needs you three."

"Thank you Master Splinter" The girls chorused and they took off to find their missing sister

Kim ran the whole way out of the sewers and her way topside. She didn't know where she was going and she never stopped, not for anything. She just ran away, she had to get away from him. Finally, Kim stopped on a rooftop near the bay at sunset, far away from the city, from him and she dropped to her knees and cried and screamed her lungs out.

"AAARRRGGGHHH!!!" Kim screamed bloody murder "WHY! WHY ME?!" She roared looking up to the sky for answers, but she continued to scream.

When Kim had finished screaming, she started sobbing uncontrollably.

"I n-need you mum." She sobbed "I need you…please come back. ARGH!" She slammed her fists down on the concrete roof and fell over onto her side and continued sobbing.

Leo couldn't find Kim anywhere, man she was fast. He had to find her and tell her. Some wind suddenly picked up and blew in the direction of the bay.

'This way' the wind sounded like. It was as if someone was whispering to where Kim was, but Leo paid it no mind and he quickly darted off in the direction of the bay in hopes of finding Kim.

When Leo arrived on the last rooftop near the bay, he saw Kim lying on her side facing away from him shaking.

"KIM!" Leo cried and he quickly ran up to her and saw that she was sobbing and was holding her hands close to her chest. He gently pulled her up into a sitting position and tried to wipe away her tears when she pushed him away.

"Go away Leo" She sobbed

"No. No chance, Kim. I'm not leaving you like this, in fact, I'm not leaving you at all." Leo replied back

"That's not true" Kim whispered

"Like shell it isn't!" He cried "Kim I love you. I love you so much it hurts! I never acted on it because I thought you'd NEVER feel the same way back. Then the other night, I tried to kiss you and I was so hurt when you pulled away, thinking I made a fool of myself but I realized that it was you I should have been helping! Not myself! I feel like such an idiot! Shell, Kim, you mean a whole lot to me and I was too stupid to drown in self pity when it's not about me, it's about you. I'm not like Randy, Kim, I want to help, I've always wanted to help and I want to be with you."

"I don't need your pity Leo" She mumbled

"Why can't I prove it to you that I mean it? Why aren't you listening?"

"Because I'm a lost cause Leo!" Kim yelled

"Oh now I know for certain that that isn't true"

"I am Leo! I'm an empty shell of pain and misery that has forgotten to love, what it feels like to love and to be loved in re -"

Leo cut her off with a kiss. Kim was so shocked, her mind and what she thought she knew went into overdrive and killed over. Leo was about to pull away and feel embarrassed when Kim responded. Soon they broke apart and he held her in his arms safely and protectively.

"turn" Kim finished smiling

"I told you. You're not a lost cause and you're worth everything and more after what you and your family's been through. I love you, so much and I'm not leaving nor letting you go." He smiled and rubbed his forehead against hers

"That's good" Kim giggled "Because I don't want to leave your side. I love you too, Leo"

"Now I know" Leo whispered the title of her song, now their song

"Now you know" Kim sung softly just as she did before

"AWWWW!" A chorus of voices called from behind them

Leo and Kim turned and saw her sisters staring at them smiling. Kim smiled at them back

"Well, I guess I should thank you four meddlers for butting into my life and messing with my personal life" She chuckled softly "Thanks"

"So, does this mean we're not in trouble for tricking you and pushing you and messing with you and Leo's relationship?" Lilly asked

Kim laughed and shook her head "Not by a long shot, baby sister"

Everybody started laughing and Kim and Leo looked into each other's eyes he kissed her once more, her arms encircling his neck in a more passionate kiss then before.

Later

Wake Up Wake Up
On a Saturday night
Could be New York
Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris maybe Tokyo
There's something going on anywhere
I go
Tonight
Tonight
Yeah, tonight

Kim finished singing 'Wake Up' and she had had never that much fun in ages and it was thanks to her knight in green, Leonardo.

Her sisters told Kim when they got back that they told Master Splinter the truth, the whole truth and Kim just smiled and said 'That's great' and it was because now they all had someone to talk to.

The girls finished their song and everyone was cheering, clapping and whistling so loud that it was louder than all of their songs. Kim took a bow and stepped to the side to give credit to her sisters who bowed too.

Lilly was so excited that she tripped on her drum stool, fell onto the drums and knocked all of her sisters over like dominos. Her drumsticks went soaring through the air and hit Mikey right on the head.

"OW!" Mikey cried out

"Sorry Mikey sweetie!" Lilly cried back

"Ouch"

"I think I bruised something"

"I'm bleeding a little" Lilly's sisters complained

"Shut up you guys" Lilly cried "I can't hear whether Mikey's okay or not"

Everyone just laughed at that and they helped the girls up and put the instruments back up on the stage and continued the party with dancing and CD music in the music room. Everyone had a great time and Kim had a new life and she thought the worst of it was over, but something lingered in the back of her head that was always there and she knew that lesson all too well.

'How long will my happiness last?'
