Chapter 8

April and Casey!

I was sitting on the couch, watching television when I heard the elevator. I was guessing April and Casey were here. I had been back for about 10 minutes and I was sitting here waiting. I heard Leo approach me.

"Are you ready to meet them?" he asked.

"Yep, let's go."

We walked into the other room where everyone was at. There were two humans, who I knew were April and Casey.

April had red hair that she put up into a bun. Her eyes were a jade green. She wore a purple shirt that showed her stomach and brown pants with a black belt. She also wore blue and white shoes. You could tell she was a tom-boy and could probably kick ass if she knew how to fight.

Then there was Casey. He had long brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a red shirt that was really tight on him, and blue sweatpants. He also had blue, white, and yellow tennis shoes.

"April, Casey, I would like you to meet our new friend. . . Avolla Sequiana."Mikey announced.

"Hi."I said waving."Please, call me Jessica. It's what I go by here on Earth."

"It's nice to meet you Jessica."April said, shaking my hand.

"Hey."Casey said, before walking over to Raph.

"It's nice to meet you too, April."I said."You too Casey."I shouted.

He just waved to say he heard me then continued talking to Raph.

April shook her head.

"Ignore my boyfriend, he's a bonehead."

I chuckled.

"I know how that is. My triplet brothers are the same way. They're like Fred and George from Harry Potter- though sometimes I think they are worse."I said, shaking my head.

She laughed.

"I bet . . . triplets are a lot. How can your parents handle that many boys?"

"Well, usually the servants take care of them. My parents are always too busy to talk- let alone play- with us. It's like we don't exist to them at times."I said sadly.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know."April said, apologetically.

"It's ok . . . they were only ever worried that we would never marry the right suitor. That's why they arranged the marriage with Ryanian. When he- when it didn't work out I left my home and came here. I had been to Earth thousands of years ago and I really loved it here. It seemed to be the best place."I explained.

By now we were sitting on the couch. I didn't remember moving, but I space out a lot.

"Wow that is quite a story. I'm sorry that happened to you."April said, sadly.

"It doesn't matter. I'm going to start my life here on Earth and just try to forget about my past. I might be a princess, but I sure as hell don't act like it."I said, grinning.

She smiled.

"So are you going to stay here or what?"

"I haven't decided. I guess I'll see how it goes. If I do decide to leave, I can shape shift into a human. It's kind of my power I guess you could say. I'm the only one of my people who can do it. It helps when you want to avoid people or spy on others."I said.

"Wow, that's cool. Have you ever tried to figure out why? You might be destined to do something great."

I shrugged.

"I haven't really thought about it actually. I just think of it as a part of me and who I am."

She nodded.

"I can understand that."

We sat in silence for a few minutes and watched Mikey and Raph argue over something.

"Any idea on what that's about?"I asked.

She shrugged.

"With them, it could be anything. They fight almost as much as Leo and Raph do."She answered.

"So I guess the pattern is Raph."

"Yep, he seems to be the center of all their fights, even with Casey. I think the only one Raph doesn't fight with is Don."

"I could see that, does he mostly hang out in his lab?"

"Yep, that's his favorite place to be. They probably wouldn't have a lot of the stuff they have without him. He's always working on some new project."

I nodded.

I watched as Master Splinter came out and broke up their argument, then he made them each do 20 flips.

I shook my head.

"I will never understand why some guys act so stupid."I said, laughing slightly.

"That's the question we all ask."

"Hey Ape! You ready to go? We gotta meet Angel!"Casey yelled a crossed the room.

"Coming."April yelled back."We should hang out sometime, go shopping."

I nodded.

"I would love too. It was great meeting you."I said.

She gave me a hug, which kinda surprised me.

"Bye."

"Bye."

I waved as she and Casey turned to leave. I was glad I met her. She was really cool.

(Soooo, what did you think? Well, I'm not done yet! I haven't even gotten to the romance part. Don't worry, we're getting close! Please R&R!)
