AUTHOR'S NOTE: Here's another chapter! Really would love some reviews and constructive criticism right now. Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge. If not that's fine too, I just really want to know if you guys like the story or not. Is it easy to read or am I not making things clear enough? Sometimes when I write I forget the why and go right to the what. Anywho, this happens during one of my favorite episodes so I really enjoyed writing this one. Hope to hear from you all soon.

With Love, procrastinator9000


"Soooo…." Mabel cooed. "Who is it?"

Jude signed, "What?"

They were sitting at the table eating lunch when Mabel began to grin obnoxiously.

"The boy you're seeing!" Mabel exclaimed. Before Jude could even begin denying, her older sister swooned, "Don't even try to lie! I haven't seen you this happy in like ever! You're barely ever home and you're slacking on your chores, something tells me there's a boy."

Jude shook her blushing head and lied, "There's a boy but we're just friends, I've been hanging out with him and his brothers and my other new friend April."

"April?" Mabel repeated, "Well, if it's not a boyfriend I'm glad it's friends, you need those."

"And you need a boyfriend." She signed.

"Hah, as if!" She exclaimed, "I don't think any guy can handle all this!"

She pointed to herself and made a goofy-cross eyed face. Jude laughed so hard she choked on her shake.

"Alright, Alright, I gotta get back to work." Mabel stuck out her tongue. "Flu virus is going around, make sure you sanitize!"

She chugged her orange juice and grabbed her purse. "I'll be back around dinner, have fun today!"

Jude waved to her sister then turned around and begun the dishes. Suddenly her phone began ringing. "Anyone that knows me knows I can't answer a phone. I'll let it go to voice mail."


"We have to save her!" Donnie exclaimed.

The Kraang continued to shoot at them as Leo exclaimed, "And who's going to save us?!"

"Call Jude to help April!" Raph suggested as he bludgeoned a kraang-bot with his sai.

Leo almost shouted no and kicked himself for it; he needed to believe in her more. He said, "That's a good idea!" "She and April can handle Karai…"

Donnie called Jude and then exclaimed, "It went to voice mail!"

"Well yeah." Mikey flipped over a kraang, "How's she gunna answer the phone? She doesn't talk. And you guys say I'm the dumb one."

Donnie facepalmed and sent her a text.


After finishing the dishes, Jude dried her hands and noticed she had one voice mail and one text from Donatello. "That's odd."

She listened to the voice mail, "Hi Jude, it's Donnie! April needs your help; she's being attacked by Karai! I sent you her location. Please help her!"

Before the voicemail even ended, Jude's sneakers were on and she was out the door. Jude hasn't heard a lot about the kunoichi but she's heard enough to know that she was bad news. She sprinted to the location of her phone and found it on the ground. Jude picked up her phone and rounded the block.

There she watched April flip Karai down the subway stairs; it was then that she realized where she had seen April before. She was at the boxing class for women a couple months ago. She was the one that lied about knowing martial arts.

"Not bad for a nobody." She mumbled and struggled to her feet. Jude lifted her arm and hefted April over her shoulder.

"Hm, Jude? Thanks." April said wearily. "The bike-."

She pointed to a motorbike and Jude helped her up. Having never driven anything before Jude struggled to get the bike to the man-hole cover. Finally with April's help they reached the sewers and began walking back to the lair. Jude still supported April, despite her feeling a bit better.

As they reached the lair, April's phone went off.

"It's Donnie." April chuckled and answered it, "Hey Donnie!"

Both April and Jude could hear Donatello's exclamation, "April! You're okay! You hear that guys? My sweet Princess is alive! –Did I mute that?"

Jude struggled to stop laughing as April replied, "Let's agree that you did. Jude and I are fine, we'll meet you guys back at the lair."

They hung up as Jude helped April to the couch. She pointed to her phone and then made a heart with her hands.

"I know." She smiled, "He's sweet."

Jude pointed to April and then made a heart with her hands. April shook her head, "Nothing against him, Donnie's a great friend but after I find my Dad I'll start thinking about things like that, now's just not a good time."

The mute nodded in understanding. A few moments later both the boys and Master Splinter returned to the lair and April was able to tell the story about how she faced Karai. Raph, Donnie, and Mikey sat together on the couch, while Master Splinter stood behind them as he listened.

Jude was on a chair near Leonardo whom was looking very distracted at the moment.

Leonardo's younger siblings cheered April's success. Even Master Splinter said it was impressive, but Leonardo couldn't bring himself out of his thoughts to congratulate her.

"I guess I can take care of myself afterall." April grinned.

"Yes." Splinter said, "And no- Karai may have failed this time, but if Shredder wants you, he will stop at nothing to find you. And with the Kraang after you as well, the wisest decision is for you to remain here in the sewer with us."

"What?" April exclaimed. "I can't stay down here! What about school, my friends, everything!?"

Leonardo picked up his head and nodded, this problem had been plaguing his thoughts since he heard that Karai attacked her. She was too much of a target now, "Splinter's right April. Until we stop Shredder and the Kraang, this is the only place you're safe."

April sighed and sat down, hugging her knees to her chest, "So, once we stop them, I can have my life back?"

Leo crossed his arms and nodded, "Yes."

April nodded, "Then let's get started."

"Oh yeah, Shredder and the Kraang are going down!" Mikey exclaimed.

Jude looked amongst her friends and wondered how she could help. Luckily, it seemed that Splinter was thinking the same thing.


Later Splinter invited Jude into the dojo to speak.

"Jude I wanted to take a moment to talk to you if that's alright." He said politely.

Jude smiled and nodded, she sat criss-cross across from Splinter on the ground.

"First of all I want to thank you for befriending my sons. I feel they really enjoy having another human to talk to, you can understand how hard it is for my sons to make friends." He explained. She smiled widely in return.

"Second I wanted to offer you a chance to become a better fighter." He began, Jude listened intently as he continued, "You are a great boxer and it may be a difficult change but would you be interested in training to become a kunoichi like April?"

Jude's eyes widened and she nodded her head ferociously. She signed, "Yes I would! Thank you!"

"You're welcome." He said and signed back. "If possible I'd like to start right away."

"Now?" She signed.

"Now." He agreed.
