A/N: Hey guys! Here a new chapter, finally! Sorry it has been a while but because I got that new idea for my new story I focused on that for a while. Also this chapter is really short, but next one will be a lot longer and we are coming close to some action. I hope you still want to keep following it! Thanks for sticking with me!3

Now enjoy!

Oh and by the way guest reviewer; She is NOT a stripper. Nothing close to it. If you really think that, I recommend you watch the movie Burlesque. (:

Chapter 10

|| Ali Sallent

The week had gone by very fast and Ali was getting her things in the spare room. She was feeling a lot better and that would probably be one of the reasons Donnie was okay with the fact she could go now. She had wanted to leave earlier this week already, but he had insisted she stayed. Just like the rest of the brothers. She was excited to go back home, not that she hadn't enjoyed the time she had been here, but tomorrow she would start dancing again and she would get the songs and geography of the new show. Some sort of comeback of her. She knew it was just to get some extra money in, but it would definitely irritate Nikki again. Not that Ali really cared, but she didn't want to fight with the woman all over again. Although Nikki had learned her lesson a while ago, she hadn't changed that much. And she would probably be all jealous again. At least everyone was joining the performances. Tess had called her and told her about her idea. Ali had immediately liked it and had agreed with it. They were going to perform songs from now, not the usual old stuff. She liked that and wondered what she could expect.
Ali swung her bag over her shoulder and took Raika's leash in the other hand. With everything ready she got out of the room and walked towards the stairs. Raika approached her halfway the stairs and Ali patted her head for a second before getting down the stairs the whole way. The guys were sitting at the living room, waiting for her. She had told them she could just walk home. It wasn't like she had much stuff to carry and she didn't mind walking. But the guys had insisted on taking her home and it was obvious there was no way she could change their mind.
"Ready?" Leo asked and she nodded.
"Yup, I think I have everything." She said and frowned to herself, going through everything in hear head one more time. "Yes, I'm sure." She said smiling and looked at Master Splinter. "Thank you for letting me stay here. I really appreciate it." She said, really meaning it. She was really grateful and she had – had a great time here, even though she had to take it easy.
"You're welcome, Miss Ali. You can come back here anytime. I know my sons have liked your company." He said with a slight smile and Ali chuckled when she noticed that the guys were looking everywhere but at them.
"I will. I surely will."

"Yeah sure, stay for a while. It's not like I have anything special to do so." Ali said an shrugged her shoulders. "Do you guys want something to drink?" After a few sure she walked to the kitchen and turned on the light. She opened the fridge and took out a bottle of Coca-Cola and closed it again. Then she opened a cupboard and took five glasses out of it. When she closed it her eye fell on something big, black and hairy. A big, black, hairy spider. She was sure her scream could have been heard across half New York and the guys came storming in to the kitchen, weapons drawn. They were all looking for the possible threat. "What's wrong?" Leo asked.
"S-sp-spider." She stuttered and pointed at the creature on her wall. "Look at it! It's huge. Good Lord." She said.
"What? A spider? You screamed so hard for a goddamn spider?" Raph exclaimed and raised his eye ridges.
"Can't you see him? The thing is monstrous. Someone please get him out of my house!" She said and kept her eyes on the creature. She was sure if she stopped looking at it - it would move in her direction. Mikey brushed past her and took the thing in his hands when he walked past her he acted like he would throw it in her face and she screamed again. "Screw you, Mikey!" She said and walked out of the kitchen with the drinks.

Leo glanced at the clock and got up. "Guess it's time to do something useful. You guys coming?" The others followed too and Ali followed them with her eyes before getting up too. "Taking the backdoor is the best idea, I think?" Leo asked and looked at Ali.
"Oh.. Eh.. Yeah it probably is." She said and she followed them to the backdoor and when they walked out of the door she leaned against the doorframe. "Be careful." She said and smiled softly when they all looked back at her.
"I will keep an eye on them for you Al." Mikey said, grinning and Ali chuckled.
"Yeah.. That really sets me at ease."
