He looked at my hair. "Whoa. I didn't- it changed! It's like... I don't know!"

I chuckled softly. He searched my face.

"What happened, Taylor?"

"I'm not Taylor, Leo."

He shifted. "What?"

"I am not Taylor. Or Zoey."

Raph came in the room, scratching his head. "Leo, Zoey's gone. Like she disappeared."

I blinked. "That is why I told your brother. There is no more Zoey. Or Taylor. It's just... me."

Leo shook his head and looked at Splinter. "Sensei, what- what does it mean?"

The aged mutant rat stroked his thin beard.

"Leonardo, do you remember what Zoey kept telling Taylor?"

"Yeah."

"Well?"

Donnie snapped his fingers. "Ah-ha! So, Zoey and Taylor finally fused together to create- well, her?" He gestured to me.

Splinter nodded. "And I suppose I should ask what you are called now."

I smiled. "Well="

"I GOT IT!" Mikey burst out. "The perfect name! SHINY!"

We all looked at him. CG giggled a bit. Mikey turned red.

"Y-you know, because your hair is... never mind."

I smiled. "Thanks, Mikey. But my name is Opal. Opal Rose."

April put a hand on her hip. "So, my best friend is named after gems?"

I nodded. She smiled and rested her head on Donnie's shoulder, at which he blushed. I jumped off the bed and levitated in the air. Alexis grew slightly red, and reached her hand for Mikey's. The enthusiastic Turtle blushed and held it.

Everybody was now smiling back at me- everybody except for... Leo. He just stayed, back turned, in a corner of the room. I floated past the mutant/human family and put a hand on Leo's shoulder.

He looked up. I edged my face closer to his until we were only a few inches apart.

"Leonardo Hamato?"

He blushed. "Hmm?"

"I choose you."

"What do y-"

I kissed him, right there, and saw into his heart. He was happy. I turned back to Raph.

"I'm sorry, Raph. But you're not mine to take."

"What?!"

I sighed. "Apparently somebody else is your perfect match."

He grew beet red, from anger or curiosity, perhaps both.

"Then who is?"

I pointed to Alexis. "She should know."

All eyes were trained on CG. She blushed and was about to let go of Mikey's hand. Yet he squeezed it, and she seemed reassured that everything was fine. Raph huffed.

"Well?"

"I guess the only person I know of is..."

"Whatever. She probably won't be my type anyway." He glared at Leo. "Enjoy your new girlfriend, Leo."

Raphael stormed out of the room, leaving us all in a hot atmosphere. Splinter started off, too.

"Excuse me. I must meditate now."

Donnie and April left as well. Soon, I was staring at Mikey and Alexis. She stared back. And gasped.

"Oh! Oh NO, this is bad!"

Mikey grabbed her other hand. "What's wrong?"

She blushed before continuing. "I called my friend because she was supposed to help me find my dad! Or at least bring him back home." She smacked her face. "How is she gonna react with TURTLES?! I mentioned a tiger, not a Turtle!"

Shouts came from the living room. It was Raph. I flew out the door, Leo, Mikey and Alexis following. I knew what I was gonna see. The living room was lit with flames, and Raph was fighting with someone.

Leo reached for his katana, but I stopped him. I looked at CG.

"That's your friend, right?"

She nodded. I flew right past Raph and grabbed the hands of the girl that was causing the flames. She stopped spouting fire and looked at me. She screamed.

"GHOST!"

I blocked a kick and threw her on the couch. Raph held a sai to her throat. He breathed heavily.

"Are you INSANE?! You can't just come in here, scream at me and then set the place on fire!"

I grabbed Raph's arm. "Dude, that's your match."

He blushed. "WHAT?!" He pointed at CG's friend. "HER?! She almost set this place on FIRE, Taylor!"

"It's Opal."

"Sorry, Opal."

I shrugged. "You have someone to match your hotheadedness now."

Alexis ran at the new girl and hugged her.

"PHOENIX! Oh, I knew you would come! Thank you so much for agreeing to help me out."

Phoenix scoffed. "No prob. Now, tell me. Who's the cute turtle I just saw you with?"

Alexis stopped hugging her and her eyes went wide.

"Um, ah. Phoenix, this is Mikey. Heh, heh."

Phoenix smiled at him and Leo. Then she looked at Raph.

"I'm sorry. For, you know."

Raph merely nodded, arms crossed, glaring into the distance. Phoenix and Raph looked at each other at the same time, and blushed. Her hair lit up a mystical red orange. I coughed.

"Um... your hair's on fire."

"AH!" She patted her head.

Raph smiled a bit and left the room. Phoenix jumped off the couch and "floated" (she really tip-toed) after him. I shook my head and grabbed Leo's hand.

"Come on. I wanna show you something."

"What? Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise, Leo."

I squeezed his hands, closed my eyes, and felt time and space warp around me. When I opened my eyes, we were in a snowy forest.
