"Get out of my head, b-" I stopped short, remembering I didn't curse.

Raph stood and took my hand. "Here. Let me help."

He led me to the living room, right past Donnie and Mikey.

"Where are you guys going?" Mikey bit into a slice of what looked like meat-lover's.

"I honestly don't know." I answered as I ran behind Raph.

"Have fun!" Mikey called out as we went above-ground.

The sky was dark, and almost no cars were driving around. We kept running in the shadows until a tall apartment building blocked our path.

"Climb on." Raph bent down.

"Huh?"

"My back. Get on."

I slowly climbed on. "What are you- WHOA!"

Raph jumped on several windowsills, reaching the roof quickly.

"Here we are."

I got off and went to the far edge. I looked down- the ground seemed so far away.

"How is this supposed to help me get rid of her in my head?"

"Take off your jacket." I obeyed. "Feel that?"

The cold air nipped at my skin. I rubbed my arms and snuggled up next to Raph.

"It's cold. No Zoey, though." I smiled. "Thanks, dude."

"No problem. Sorry about earlier. Don't know what came over me." He pulled me closer.

"I really like you, Raph. I really do. But-"

My phone rang. The name read 'April'.

"Hello?"

"Taylor, come quick! It's an emergency!" She hung up.

I snapped the phone shut. "Gotta go. April's in trouble."

"Wait! Uh, how are you gonna get down?" Raph held my arm back.

I jerked it away. "I'll figure something out." A staircase led down. "I jog down."

"But Taylor-!"

I ignored him and slid down the handrail.

I jumped into the sewer water and ran until I heard footsteps in a steady rhythm. I turned a corner and saw her.

"What's wrong?"

April was pacing in circles in the kitchen with Mikey. "Donnie's gone. A lavender flash, and he's gone."

I gritted my teeth together. "Zoey."

"She has him?" April smacked her forehead. "Duh! Lavender glow! Uh! HOW could I be so STUPID?!"

"Chills out, April." Mikey said smoothly. "Where is she keeping him, Tay?"

"Don't know. But I could figure out. First, I need a laugh. I'm feeling a bit stressed."

"Got it." Mikey smiled. "One of my fave sayings- LIKE A TURTLE DO!"

I laughed softly. "Thanks. Now, let's concentrate."

I closed my eyes and saw a swamp. The same swamp I had run off to. It was blurry, but I knew that's where Zoey was.

"Got it. The swamp."

Mikey raised an eyebrow. "The same swamp you were in?"

"Yeah."

"Then let's go!" Mikey ran to the manhole. "Booyakasha!"
