Disclaimer: Still the same as before.
Notes: Hello, again. Sorry for the long wait but I had just moved into a new house and didn't get a chance to do any up dating.
Waking up slowly, Nancy stretched and lay in bed for a moment. That was a nice dream. Started out a little scary but ended good. Nancy wondered to herself how it would have ended First she meet the rest of the group, who would welcome her with open arms, and April would take her in like a little sister. Then they would defeat Shredder and find out her parents moved to New York. Yeah, I like that.
When Nancy opened her eyes, her heart started to thud in her chest. It wasn't a dream; she was in Raphael's room, in his bed. Hearing the guys outside of Raphael's room, Nancy jumped out of bed to pull her pants on. Jamming both feet in, Nancy stumbled as Raphael opened the door to walk in. Nancy tried to pull her pants up stumbled and fell. Looking at her feet, Nancy saw that she jammed both feet in the same pant leg. All of the turtles were just staring at her, Raphael looked like he was trying hard not to laugh.
"How's my hair?" What a sight she must have been. Raphael gave up and laughed, while the other three went out of the room. Nancy tried to pull her feet out and found that they were stuck. Raphael, still laughing quietly now, turned to leave.
"Raphael, wait, I need some help." Nancy called. Raphael walked over and lifted Nancy so she was sitting on the bed.
"Now, I'm not helping you dress," He said.
"No, my feet are stuck," Nancy, said. "Can you pull on the jeans so I can get them off?" Raphael grabbed the bottom of the pant leg and one of Nancy's legs, pulled and got them unstuck.
"As soon as your dressed, come out so we can talk." Lingering his eyes on Nancy's legs for a moment, Raphael quickly turned and left the room. Nancy noticed and paused before slipping her pants on. Stepping out, the turtles were all seated on a couple of couches and Splinter was there in an easy chair. Not knowing where to sit, Nancy was grateful when Michelangelo indicated she could sit by him.
"Thanks," said Nancy. "I was having middle school flashbacks."
"Who are you, where did you come from, what's going on, why are you here, how did this happen?" Michelangelo and Donatello started. Leonardo just sat there studying Nancy.
"Easy my sons," Splinter quieted them down. "Now, what is your name, child?"
"Nancy." Everyone looked at Leonardo.
"How did you know that?" Nancy asked. For a moment, Leonardo looked flustered then shrugged.
"Lucky guess." Nancy nodded, not sure to believe him or not.
"And how did you come to be here?" Nancy proceeded to tell everyone what happened from Shari's to the technodrome, and Raphael finding her in New York.
"Then he wopped up those foot soldiers, and brought me here." Nancy finished.
"But how did you know about us?" Leonardo asked.
"Well in my world you are all very popular movie characters. Two guys who write comics were inspired and came out with comics, cartoons and three movies. Since finding out Shredder was real, even though his real outfit is much more intimidating than what's on TV, I figured you guys were real. I tried to get a hold of April but had no luck there." Nancy said.
"So we don't exist in your world at all? Leonardo asked.
"No, I don't think you do," At the turtles forlorn expression Nancy continued. "My family doesn't exist here, or me for that matter."
"You used to, under a different name," Michelangelo said quietly. "But Shannon is dead now so maybe you're suppose to be her replacement."
"That's not funny Mikey." Leonardo said.
"I didn't mean it to be funny." Michelangelo shrugged under Leonardo's glare and left to go to his room. At his door he paused and said to Nancy.
"I'm sorry Nancy, but this is a little to weird for me right now. I'm going to need time to accept that you really exist." Then he went into his room and closed the door.
"I'm sorry, Nancy started. "I didn't mean to. . ."
"It's all right," said Donatello. "It's been a year and I think seeing you was a bit of a shock. For all of us really."
"What happened, I don't understand," Nancy said.
"Shannon," Leonardo said. "It was about three, four months ago that she died.
"What happened?" Nancy asked.
"Originally, Shredder used her to try to get through our guard, learn our secrets, use her as a pawn," Leonardo continued. "But his plan back fired when Shannon decided that she actually liked us. During one outing, Shredder surprised us. He pulled a gun and took a shot at Mikey. Shannon jumped in front of him and took the bullet in the head. She died instantly." Leonardo stopped and sighed. Everyone looked down.
"But who was Shannon, to Shredder?" Nancy questioned. "Why did she let him use her?"
"Shannon was his daughter," Leonardo said quietly. Nancy's mouth dropped open. 'So that explains the picture I saw.'
"Shredder was so shocked at himself he simply left. Mikey took it really hard. He feels that it's his fault." Leonardo finished.
"All right guys, I got home late and still would like some sleep." Raphael said as he got up.
"No," said Splinter. "You will get your brother and report for practice." With a huff, Raphael went to Michelangelo's room. Leonardo and Donatello got up and went to the practice room. "You can come and watch if you like." Splinter offered.
"Thanks, but if it's okay, can I get something to eat?" Splinter nodded yes and headed off to the practice room. Michelangelo finally came out of his room after Raphael banged on it long enough. Nancy and Michelangelo caught eyes as they headed in different directions. Giving a small smile, Nancy got Michelangelo to smile back
