A.N: I don't own TMNT only the plot and the OCs. Oh, and I don't own Torchwood which I mentioned. Don't own Lie To Me either. Or any of the songs that I picked. Now go and enjoy this wonderful chapter.

I woke up in a bed.

I looked around, actually I was in a couch. I was at the lair, I heard voices in the dojo. I knew it had something to do with me, because I heard my name mentioned every now and then. I sat up on the couch and waited until the argument was over.

I looked towards the door, Splinter came out from it and came towards me. He sat down next to me. "Crystal." He started, but I interrupted him. "Master Splinter, if ya want me away from yer sons all ya need ta do is ask." I said softly, he looked shocked and a bit amused.

"No, Crystal it's quite the opposite. I do realize that you have feelings for my son, Raphael." He said smiling, now shocking me. "Oh." Was all I could say, master Splinter laughed. "I have also given this talk to your friends, and they all said exactly that." He said grinning at me, I smiled back.

"But I must ask you to do something for me." He said, I nodded listening closely. "Love is a very tricky thing, it can turn into all shapes and sizes. Sometimes it's hard for one to see it's true form. Sometimes it tries to break you, other times it helps you. My son, Raphael, is very different from his brothers. He has often feared love, for he knew someone could turn it against him. But he looks at you with love, and he has loved you even when you haven't seen him like that. So I ask you, please don't give him another reason to fear and hate love."

I was quite unprepared for the speech, but I took it to heart. "I won't master Splinter, I love Raphael." I said, I didn't promise but it felt like it.

We had breakfast and all through it I was lost in my thoughts, mostly about Raph. I knew master Splinter knew him better then anyone and I viewed Raph differently after the speech, I viewed him as lost, like I was. Angered, also like I was. But he feared, I didn't.

Anymore.

Being immortal and possibly the most powerful being on Earth, took away that fear. It was replaced by a new fear, one that no one but me would probably, and hopefully, ever feel. It was fear of myself, but at a different level then anyone else, people who were more powerful then they wanted.

Me, I couldn't die. That was about the highest powerful you could go without turning completely fiction.

After breakfast I sat down and watched Mikey play video games, though I was thinking. I reminded myself that I would die, but of old age.

[Old age, jus' great] I thought sourly, and I still felt it when something fatal happened to me. It reminded me of Jack from Torchwood, except he was from the future and he never aged. I sighed and decided to test this newfound power.

I went to the dojo where Leo was training with his duo kantana, I smirked. "Hey, Leo." I called, he stopped and turned to face me. "Wanna spar?" I asked, he nodded. "Sure." He said, smiling.

"Only one thing." I said, he raised his eyebrow ridge. "I want ya ta fight 'til da death. I won't kill ya, but yer gonna "kill"' me." I said smiling, and his eyes widened. "C'mon, I won't die. I'm immortal, well, until I die of ol' age." I said still smiling.

He sighed. "Go get Don, I'm sure he'd like to write this down." He said, I grinned and went to go get Don. I found him in his lab, he was sitting on an office chair looking at a computer screen.

"Hey." I said, getting his attention, and he turned his chair around. "Criss, good timing. I wanted to run some tests on you." He said, I had to stop myself from laughing at the glasses he was wearing.

"Actually, I was gonna spar with Leo an' I thought he would get more practice if we battled to the death. Well, I won't kill him but he'll pretend ta "kill" me." I explained, he didn't look like he liked it.

"What if we miscalculated? What if you actually, die!" He half shouted at me, I shook my head. "When we were at Shred-head's lair a ninja stabbed me straight through da gut. I could'a died right dere an' den. But I didn't, did I?" I said dropping my grin, and he sighed almost like Leo. "Okay, I'll take notes" he said grabbing a notebook, I smiled. "Thank you."

And I ran off to the dojo.

Everyone turned up for the sparing match, even the girls. I was getting worried, Don's words echoed in my mind. "What if you actually, die!" But I went on and twisted my sais, Leo was on the other end of the room. I had a plan, I wanted him to win but I wasn't gonna make it easy for him.

I threw my left sai to the light switch, but I threw it so it would only hit half of it and stick there. Since it was metal the light still went on, but it turned on and off with an unknown pattern.

When it was dark I grabbed my sai and moved around him in a large circle, finally I was behind him and I tapped his shell lightly. He spun around and it turned light again. "C'mon Leo, ya can do better." I said taunting him, I knew it probably wouldn't get to him, and Raph however would get really mad.

He came at me and I locked his swords with my sais, I did the same thing I did with Raph a long time ago, but I went to his side instead of between his legs. I turned around with him and pressed my foot on his plastron, he pushed me up and I was the one on the floor. He pushed his sword through my chest, I literately heard every separate person gasp.

I looked up at Leo's brown eyes, he was scared and shocked, I smiled. "Good job." I said simply and stood up, the sword was still in my chest. I pulled it out like I was it's sheath, I felt everything connect again and everyone stared at me.

"Well, someone say somethin'." I said hissing at the audience, Sparky was the first to say something. "That. Was. Awesome!" She said, her blazing green eyes wide. I rolled my own purple pair. "Yeah, yeah. I thought ya were gonna say somethin' like dat." I remarked, she laughed.

"Donny, can you reverse the affect?" Smarts asked, looking me up and down with two emotions, one was interest and the other was confusion. Don shook his head. "No, it's too far deep into her system." He said sadly. I chuckled at them. "It's okay, I'll live. It's not like I have a choice in the matter, really." I said jokingly, I didn't see what the fuss was about, I'll learn how to live like that and that was that.

I sighed. "I'm gonna go knock some skulls around. Anyone wanna come?" I asked, it was secretly directed at Raph. Raph got up and followed me, he understood, the others just needed some time to get used to it.

We were sitting on a roof, I laid down on my back with my arms behind my head. "Criss," Raph started, I nodded to show him I was listening. "What did sensei say ta ya?" He asked. I felt my cheeks get slightly warmer. "Um, we talked about. Uh, you." I confessed, he obviously looked surprised. "What 'bout me?" He asked, I cursed myself in my head. "Nothin' ya need ta worry 'bout." I said trying to act cooly about the whole thing. He looked at me, and I peeked my eyes open lazily.

He smirked.

He was suddenly on top of me, and he was tickling me almost violently. I screamed out trying to get him off of me, I laughed and my face was soon painted with blood rushing to my face. He was on top of me, and I was quite aware of that fact. I finally held onto his wrists, then he started getting tired and I flipped him on his shell so I was on top of him.

We suddenly stopped laughing and we stared into each other's eyes. Purple on amber. When I heard people talking about being lost in their love's eyes I thought they were crazy, but there I was, doing exactly and thinking exactly that.

I felt my body go into autopilot and my head slowly went down closer to his. My eyes flickered between his own eyes and his lips, my eyelids slowly began to fall.

My lips collided with his, I closed my eyes completely.

We stayed there for a while.

Later on that day when it was evening, all the girls were at Sparky's place. We were having a sort of girl sleepover, 'slumber party' as they put it. We were all painting our nails, our colors matched our turtles' bandanas.

Vamp was putting on a thin coat of neon blue.

Smarts was putting on two coats of dark and light purple, her hands were opposites.

Sparky was putting on thick globs of bright sunshine orange, and she was painting her toes light banana yellow.

I was painting my nails a bright crimson and a dark grey, my hands were also opposites, I started out with a thin coat then when it dried I put on another, and another. I painted my toes silver and dark green, I smiled when I was done.

When our paint was drying we watched a movie, we let Vamp pick. She picked out, of course, a movie based true story, her favorite. The Blind Side, I expected it to be boring and drawn out like most true story movies I had seen, but instead I found myself enjoying it and it's harsh reality. I could relate to the main character when he was on the streets, lost, confused, just trying to get by. It also made me laugh, which was surprising.

I smiled when it was done. "Girls, I have an idea." Vamp said suddenly, we all looked at her. "What is it, Vamp?" I asked, disguising my curiosity with annoyance.

"I think we should have a tattoo show." She said grinning excitedly, I blinked at her. "A, what?" I asked, what did she mean "tattoo show?" "A tattoo show, we all put on bikinis and show off our tats." Vamp explained, I gulped with my eyes wide. "Um, dis is fer da turtles, ain't it?" I asked, they all nodded.

I smirked with a sigh. "Den I'm in." I said my tone low, it surprised everyone but they all grinned and giggled afterwards.

I thought about what the turtles will do when they saw all of their girls in bikinis.

Me and the other girls all had it planned out. We would have it at the tattoo shop after closing hours and we already had a platform ready. We all had went shopping for new bikinis, the ones that were more for show and not actually meant for in the water.

Vamp had picked out a dark blue and white striped top and bottom pair, the bottom was tied together with small bows that looked like if you pulled it, it would just fall apart. Her top was a triangular fashion, and in the back it was designed like a corset.

Smarts had picked out a dark purple and light purple polka dot pair, the bottom was connected at the hip bones with large wood hoops. Her top was strapless and was tied in the back with a large bow that was merely for show.

Sparky had picked out a bright yellow and dark orange zebra striped pair, the bottom was connected at the sides with small silver chains, it had a small lock in the middle and she planned to wear a small key around her neck. Her top was strapless but had a strap tying around her neck, it tied in the back making a large bow.

Me? I had picked out a bright red top that was completely strapless and didn't tie in the back, it was just like a tube top. And I had picked out a black bottom that was tied at the sides with large loose red bows. I also later attached chains to both sides like the ones people sometimes wore on their jeans.

I looked at myself in the mirror in Sparky's bathroom. I smiled.

We all put on clothes over our bikinis, we all had took showers in the morning and by then it was around noon. We had told the turtles that we wanted to show them something at Bone Art, and then we also made other plans. We would go and model our tattoos separately and when we were up Smarts would play a love song that we chose.

Smarts had chosen Enchanted by Taylor Swift.

Sparky had chosen She's in Love With the Boy by Trisha Yearwood.

Vamp had chosen Love Song by Miranda Lambert.

And I had chosen A Love That Will Last by Renee Olstead.

We all were waiting for the turtles, I was nervous and also had doubted, I thought we were going to embarrass ourselves beyond belief. That's probably why I wanted to go last. Then they came, we let Smarts explain what we wanted to do for them, we didn't want to just jump out in our bikinis. They were in disbelief but sat down anyway.

Oh, and did I mention we had props? Well, we did. We all had our weapons.

Sparky had her double axes.

Smarts had her bladed whip.

Vamp had her kantana.

And I had my sais.

I almost forgot! The next day after that was my birthday, and I hadn't told anyone.

Sparks went first, lucky Mike. She walked exactly like a model out onto the platform and I saw Mikey turn light pink. She swung her axes around as her song started in the background of Smarts as she told them about her tattoos.

"Jessica has seven tattoos, going in the line of when she got them. Her first pair is a bright green pair of eyes on the tops of her feet, this was her first tattoo and was done in California. Her third is on her left lower leg which is the character Gir from her favorite t.v show and who she acts like when she's on a sugar high. Her fourth is on the left side of her stomach which is a black game controller that belongs to a Play Station 2; her favorite game station. Her fifth is on her back, which is a small white rabbit that she says reminds her of her favorite book, Alice in wonderland. Her sixth is on her right upper arm, it's as you can see an orange and yellow flower that grows in California, her home state. Her last and seventh one is the character Koopa Troopa from Mario because he's her favorite character."

Smarts finished and Sparky went back, her song stopped and it turned to Vamp's song. She went out and I saw Leo's eyes get slightly larger.

"Corey has three tattoos, because she's more of a sharpie person. Her first two that she got back in Florida, they're on her lower back legs and they are the Japanese symbols for love and war. Her other one is on her back and is a book with vines growing over it that has blue flowers. And she currently has two sharpie drawings on her hands, the right one is a C and the left one is an L. I'm sure you guys can put two and two together."

Smarts said, Corey didn't know about the sharpie drawings, Sparks did them when she was asleep. Corey went off the platform and probably went to go strangle Sparky.

I went to where Smarts was with the microphone and the CD player. She went on the stage with her whip coiled at her side, I started reading what she had typed up for herself.

"Diana has five tattoos telling anyone 'bout her personality. Her first is a pattern tattoo on da top of 'er right hand, it's an electronic pattern dat tells people she loves technology. Her second is on her upper right arm, it's a brown cherry blossom tree wit' soft pink blossoms on da branches. Her third is on da top of her left foot, it's a yellow pencil with green vines wrappin' 'round it, telling people dat she's artistic. Her fourth is on her left shoulder, it's a purple rose in an almost lifelike style. Her last is on her upper back, it's da Japanese symbol fer creative which is done so it looks like it was actually made by a Japanese paint brush."

I said finishing it, Smarts went off the stage and I got ready to go on. My song started and I walked onto the walkway with my sais twirling. I smirked sassily and walked just the same, Raph turned the exact same shade of red that his bandana was. Smarts started talking about my tattoos.

"Crystal has eight tattoos, most of them her own designs. Her first is on the insides of her wrists, they're small flowers though the left one is black with a white center and the right one is white with a black center. Her third is across her chest from the left side where her heart is to her right side, it's a red heart with black ropes wrapping around it heading for the left. Her fourth one is on her tailbone which is her astrological symbol; Scorpio. Her fifth is on her back, it's a rose that has two petals falling, she says she made that design for her parents. Her sixth is on the top of her right foot, it's dark blue stars that have green vines going around them. Her seventh is on the back of her left lower leg, it's a bone skull with different color roses around it. And her eighth is the yin and yang symbol on the top of her right hand."

Smarts said as I showed off my skin art. After the show the girls and me went out, the show wasn't over yet. We went to our turtle boyfriends. "It isn't over yet." Sparks said, going past Mike and to her tattooing station, we all followed her.

We picked up stencils that we had drawn the last day, we all did it for our turtles.

Sparks had made a stencil of Mikey's nunchucks in an X form with a bright orange background.

Smarts had made a stencil of Don's staff with her whip wrapped around it tightly, it had a dark purple haze around it.

Vamp had made a stencil of Leo's kantanas in a lock that reminded me of pirates, it had a sky blue background that was solid and bright.

And I had made a stencil of one of Raph's sais and one of my sais also in a

lock with a dark crimson and dark grey haze background.

The turtles gapped at their girls' stencils. "We're gettin' new tats." I said smirking at Raph, who was looking at all the small details I had added to give the tattoo a lifelike appearance.

And we started tattooing at the whistle of Sparky's tattoo gun.

I did Sparky's first on her stomach towards her right side, I liked the detail she put in it. She went to get patched up with Mikey.

I started with Smarts. She got it on her lower back, I liked the shade of purple she picked. Sparks was patched up and she did Vamp's.

She got it on her lower back, I liked the way it morphed with her vampire skin.

Last, Sparks did mine on my right upper thigh, I gritted my teeth when she ran over my skin with the small needles but got through it.

I went to the back to go patch up my thigh, Raph tagged along.

When I was all bandaged we all went back to the lair. We watched Sparks and Mike play video games. I rested my head on Raph's shoulder next to me, I could feel him smirk down at me. I smiled and moved just a bit closer to him, then I realized that it was my birthday next day.

"So, my birthday's tomorrow." I said, as if I was just trying to make conversation, everyone looked at me in shock. "What?" Sparky asked me, the game was completely forgotten there was a split second and then something happened.

I had no idea what happened to my friends, they all the sudden started talking at a rate too fast for me to understand them. "Whoa, whoa, whoa." I said getting their attention. "What da 'ell is goin' on here?" I asked looking at all of them, gesturing to what they were doing. "Planning your party, duh." Sparky said as if it was obvious. "Now, go back to the apartment while we plan." Vamp said a bit bossily.

I sighed, this is exactly what I hoped wouldn't happen, or if it did a possibly smaller scale. "Okay, okay." I said, I stood up and Raph also stood up. "I'll go wit' ya." He said, his thick Brooklyn accent coming out clearly.

I tried to hide my smirk but it got out for a second, and me and Raph went back to Sparks' apartment. I went in through the front and he went in through the window, he was about to leave when I grabbed his arm. "Ya know. Ya don' have ta go." I said half smiling, he smiled back.

We decided to find something in Sparky's many collection of movies and shows, I picked a show I thought would be nice to see. Lie To Me. I liked it, I remembered watching it with my dad when he was alive.

I snuggled up against Raph. "Raph?" I asked him after the show started a bit. He looked down at me. "Yeah?" He asked. "We're, um. A "couple", right?" I asked, he seemed a bit surprised by the blunt question at first.

"Yeah, if ya want ta be." He said, I laid my head down on his shoulder and wrapped my arms around his arm.

"Yeah, I do." I said watching the screen, he relaxed into my embrace. We watched them for a while.

I didn't even feel my eyes close when I fell asleep on Raphael.

A.N: Another sorta fluffy chapter, I liked the bikini show though. I don't usually do any of this sorta stuff, so I hope I did an okay job. R&R! *Smirk*
