Things in the farmhouse were pretty tense and quiet. None of the girls was in the mood for a friendly talking with the guys even though they wanted to meet the turtles since who knows when. They were all touched by Who's death and so were the turtles too.

In the porch, T-girl leaned in the wall staring at nothingness… lost on her thoughts, trying to forget what had just happened. But it was impossible. The memory was still fresh on her mind. Little tears rolled down through her cheeks.

"Those nice eyes of yours are gonna get ruined with all those tears, y'know?" A rough voice said.

"Raph? What are you doing here?" T-girl asked wiping away her tears.

"I was gonna ask you the same but I guess it's obvious" Raph chuckled and leaned into the wall beside T-girl.

"I can't believe she's gone" T-girl sighed.

"Neither do we. That Shred-butt is gonna pay for what he did. I swear!" Raph slammed his fist to the wall in anger.

"I don't know if Who would have liked it that way. I mean, eye for eye? That's always has to be the solution?" T-girl commented.

"Shredder ain't the talkative kind, girl" Raph replied.

"We don't know that. For example: I didn't know you were the talkative kind and… here you are!" the girl smiled at the red masked ninja who couldn't help but blush a little.

"Well, I… eh… I just wanted to cheer you up. Nothing more" Raph said nervously.

"Ok… guess what. You did it. Thanks Raph" T-girl smiled and kissed Raph's cheek before entering into the house. Raph's face heated up.

"Y-yeah, anytime…" the red masked ninja managed to say. That had felt strange…but good. Somehow, Raph felt attracted to this girl. He absentmindedly placed his hand on one of his cheeks. A chuckle made him stop his moves.

"You like her, don't you?" Leo chuckled.

"She's… she's nice" Raph stuttered rubbing the back of his neck.

"Why don't you tell her?" Leo asked in curiosity.

"It's not that simple, Leo. I ain't gonna go there and tell her: "Hey! I like you!" just like that. Besides, she has her own world. It ain't gonna work" Raph shrugged.

"Yeah… not gonna work" Leo sighed deeply and stared at the dark sky.

"You're thinking about… y'know…" Raph started.

"No" Leo denied though his brother was right. He was thinking about her.

"Your face doesn't say the same" Raph replied.

"Think whatever you want, Raph. I think I'm gonna meditate. Are the girls already asleep?"

"Yeah, I guess" Raph shrugged.

"Good. The first watch is yours, then Donnie and Mikey's next" Leo said and went inside the house not really wanting to talk about anything. He walked upstairs and locked himself in his room.

Leo still blamed himself for what happened to Who. He couldn't believe one minute they were talking so nicely and minutes later she was gone! She was too young to die, she was about his age! Only a teenager. A teenager with dreams and expectations, a young girl who shared his same interests, a girl with questions and answers to his own questions.

And an old doubt came to his mind again: did she really mean what she wrote? Did she really lo…

He stopped thinking about the subject and tried to clear his mind and start his meditation once and for all. He took a deep breath and started his breathing exercises. He felt a little relaxed now.

Meanwhile…

"Need some company?" T-girl asked sheepishly.

"I thought you were sleeping" Raph said slightly surprised that T-girl was there.

"Nah! I don't feel like it" the girl shrugged. They both stayed in silence for a while. It was becoming a little uncomfortable so Raph decided to talk again.

"T… er… this may sounds… impulsive but… do you have a boyfriend?" Raph blurted out. He immediately wanted to kick himself for what he did. Luckily, T-girl wasn't offended or surprised.

"Nope. I'm still waiting for my prince charming. Hehe, corny isn't it?" T-girl laughed.

"Yeah, it is… I mean, no! Eh… it's eh… whatever you want it to be" Raph felt so stupid. He had never felt this nervous before when he talked to a girl. Why everything was so different with T-girl?

"What was that question for?" T-girl asked in curiosity.

"Nothing. Just curious" Raph said with a weird smirk.

"How's Leo?" the girl asked.

"Not so good. Still blaming himself" Raph sighed sadly. T-girl sighed as well. Suddenly she felt something walking near her hand, something tiny.

"EWWWW! GET OFF, GET OFF, GET OFF ME!" T-girl screamed in terror grabbing one of Raph's arms.

"WHAT! WHAT IS IT?" Raph pulled out his sais.

"Don't know! I felt something walking near my hand and…" T-girl said. Then she noticed it was just a centipede.

"Hehe! It was just a centipede. Oops!" T-girl giggled. Raph was not amused.

"Don't scare me like that!" Raph pulled his sais back to his belt. T-girl giggled more.

"What"

"You were scared~" T-girl teased.

"Was not" Raph replied.

"You were!" T-girl insisted.

"Was not!" Raph replied again. T-girl couldn't stop laughing at Raph's distress.

The girl's laugh was contagious so Raph ended up laughing too. They stayed like this for a lil longer before they stopped trying to catch their breaths, their stomachs hurting for the laugh.

"I've never laughed like that in awhile!" Raph chuckled.

"Really? Haha, you should!" T-girl giggled. She still had Raph's arm and it was becoming… odd for Raph.

"Eh… may I have my arm back?" Raph said looking at his captive arm.

"Sorry!" T-girl blushed and let him go. They stared and smiled at each other before looking away in different directions, both blushing.

"I… my …er… well, I guess my…" Raph stuttered.

"Time's off?" T-girl ended the statement.

"Yeah" Raph nodded.

"We should…" T-girl said.

"Go inside?" Raph ended the phrase.

"Yeah" T-girl sighed heavily. Both of them went inside the house; Raph went upstairs to his room. T-girl did the same. But they both had so many questions now. They wouldn't sleep tonight.

In his room, Leo meditated when he received a mysterious connection…

"Guys, if anyone can hear me… I'm alive! Shredder is doing something to me. Can't… AHHHH! Can't fight! Please… help me! Before is… too…"

"She's alive!"
