Thank you so much for reading!
Chapter 12
Beginning Of The Road
Chloe moved in with her new family.
Meeting Master Splinter had been an easy procedure, since she had heard so much about him, and he about her.
As the four ninja turtle began to clean out the old storage room for her, Splinter spoke seriously to Chloe.
"You wish to continue to learn Ninjistu?"
"Yes, Master Splinter."
Splinter stroked his beard," Very well. Since you will be living with us, and since you are now one of us, it is well that you should continue to practice to fight and to disappear."
Chloe nodded.
"I will teach you, and Leonardo will help."
Chloe's eyes brightened and she nodded vigorously," Okay!"
Splinter chuckled softly.
"Good then. Your willingness will help."
Chloe nodded, setting her jaw.
"I will learn, if it kills me!"
Raphael snorted," Huh, big words, little girl."
She whirled on him and snapped," I ain't a little girl, big-mouth!"
His eyes widened.
"Did you just call me Big-mouth?!"
She snorted.
"YOU called ME a little girl! Don't like getting called names, DON'T call names!" she told him sternly, but a smile was tugging at her lips.
Raphael rolled his eyes.
"Whatever."
April came in.
"Chloe? I brought your stuff."
Chloe grinned as she rushed over to the boxes and pulled out her sketch pad.
"Hello, Blade." She chuckled softly as she looked at her favorite character.
She stopped suddenly, as she looked down at Blade.
Those eyes…
She looked up and at Raphael.
To her surprise, he was looking at her, but he looked away when she looked at him.
She looked back at the picture.
The intensity of the eyes was the same as Raphael's eyes.
She smiled softly as she grabbed a pencil and began sketching something new.
Mikey paused as he saw her sketching.
"What's that?"
"My new character."
She responded as she continued scribbling.
Leonardo called," Hey! Raph! Mikey! Come one! There's still plenty to do here!!!"
Chloe giggled a little as she continued her sketch.
Finally, as she finished, she nodded softly.
"There, Blade, you're not mine anymore. You belong to her."
On the page was a female mutant turtle. The figure was tall, feminine, and bewitching to the eye.
The face was beautifully alien, the eyes slanted and large with pale lights twinkling in the dark pupils.
The hair hung low and straight, like liquid, and the shell, plastron and arms and legs were perfectly shaped and toned.
She smiled softly as she put the two pictures together.
"Uh huh, a perfect couple." She giggled," Blade and Rohana Sidon."
She then dreamed about adventures on an alien planet. Swamps, deserts, forests and oceans raced in her mind, strange and beautiful.
Rohana and Blade, defending each other, helping others, escaping danger…and loving one another.
She sighed and smiled, thinking," I have my own Blade now…"

As Chloe settled into her room, Leonardo knocked.
"Can I talk to you?" he asked softly.
"Yes, come in." she invited.
He came in and closed the door.
"Chloe…I've been thinking about that note you gave me."
She nodded softly.
"And?"
Leonardo went to her, and looked her in the eye.
"Your mutation doesn't change the way I've felt about you. I love you. But your mutation…has that changed your feelings? Seriously."
She responded by mutely standing on tiptoe and pressing her lips to his.
Leo's eyes widened.
And a camera flashed.
Chloe pulled back with a gasp, as Mikey howled with laughter.
Leonardo growled.
"Excuse me while I kill my little brother."
Chloe held onto his arm.
"Allow me."
And she raced out the room.
Mikey screamed as he found she could run as fast as he, and as she leapt onto him, she found sensitive skin beneath his arms.
"AHH!!! She's-"{hahahahahahahah}"-Tickling me!! AHHHH HA-HA-HA-HA-HA AAHHHHH!"
Chloe grinned wickedly as she dug in, her fingers working at the sensitive skin.
Mikey was helpless as she pinned him, working at his tickle-spots.
Leonardo chuckled softly as Mikey wailed," RAAAAPH!"
"WHAD'D"YA WANT?!" Raph's distant yell.
"HELP MEEEEE!!!"
"NO!" Raphael snarled from the other room.
"DONNIE!!!" Mikey pleaded.
Don came into the room and paused.
"Mikey, you're up against Chloe." He observed quietly.
Mikey gasped," Heeeeelp-Hee-hee-hee-AH-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
Chloe finally let him go and stood up, casually strolling away.
"N'other one bites the dust." She grinned as Leo grinned back at her.
"That's my girl," he murmured quietly.
Raphael went and stood over Mikey.
"Dude you are so pathetic!"
Mikey groaned.
"Ow…my stomach hurts…"
Donatello laughed as he came into the room.
"Serves you right, Mikey! I'd say Chloe just gave us some major payback!"
Chloe bowed.
"Thank you, thank you. I happen to be an expert tickler. My brothers left me alone, cause they knew I'd tickle them till they wet their pants, in payback." She giggled.
Mikey groaned as he sat up.
And then, he began to chuckle.
He looked over to Donnie, who had the camera and was staring at it.
"Well, that answers a few questions."
Chloe shot to his side and tried to snatch the camera from his hands.
He back-flipped away and quickly sent the pictures to his email, laughing as he allowed her to take the camera.
"AH! Unfair!" she howled.
"What's unfair?" Raphael asked as he came into the room.
Chloe shut her mouth.
Donnie snickered and pointed at the pictures on his computer.
Raph stared at them.
And then, he looked at Leo and Chloe.
"When did this happen?"
Chloe blushed but then shrugged and responded," Once upon a time."
Aw... that's what i call one big happy family! review!
