Shout outs

Rhapsody: Oh yeah, you gotta love Ralph. He's so cool. But then again you gotta love all the turtles…I mean…they define cool. Well they did when I was five, some might disagree with me now but I'm still loyal to the turtles. Thanks for the review!

            Racetrack was in awe. This was better than any fort he and Jack had tried to build when they were younger. Oh yeah, and the turtles were great. After Emma woke up and moved to the other side of the room from Splinter she was ok. They finally got to meet the other two turtles. Leonardo was the turtle with the blue bandanna and Raphael was the one with the red bandanna. Leonardo and Jack clicked the second they met; Race figured it was the leader in the two. Even though it was unspoken Race felt that Leo liked to be in charge of things. Raphael on the other hand was a 'disturbed youth' as Mikey coined him. Raphael was more against the boys being there than Splinter was.

            Jack was busy talking with Leo while most of the others were hanging out with Mikey who was doing impressions. Mikey tried to bring Raphael into the fun but Mikey was just shrugged off. Race could tell that Blink, Mush, and Mikey would get along real well. They all had that kind of happy, go party sense around them. Raphael was back to reading his comic and Emma was watching as Donatello as he explained how he built of his gadgets. Master Splinter was telling a few of the boys about the art of ninja. Race had included himself into the group around Mikey. All in all things were going pretty well…until….

            "What do you mean we have to go home now?!" Emma shouted angrily at her brother. They were both glaring at each other. If anyone had doubted that the two were related they couldn't deny it now. The pair wore the exact same glare on their face. Race figured it was a family thing.

            "I mean YOU have to go home now. I'm taking you home then coming back. You know Mom hates it when you stay out late!"

            "You know something, I don't even like hanging out with you and your friends! You never listen to me and you don't even care if I'm there! You only care about doing what Mom wants you to do so you can do whatever you want when I'm not around!" Emma was about to just punch the daylights out of her brother but decided against it. Usually when the brother and sister had a fight it was pretty tame, but tonight they were at each others throats.

            The sewer had gone silent. The boys watched more shocked than amazed and the turtles looked around a bit nervously. Master Splinter just watched the whole thing from his chair. He knew something the others hadn't; seen things in his meditation and knew that some bad things happen to the result of good things.

            Itey was speechless. Where'd she get the right to come off at him like that? He was doing her a favor. Well that's what he had always told himself. Truth be told he didn't like having his little sister tagging along and didn't try to cover up his feelings.

            "You know forget," Emma said her voice cold. She stormed past Itey and left the turtles' nice little home.

            "Shouldn't someone go after her?" Donatello asked breaking the tension in the air. Snitch could swear that you could cut through the air with a knife; he hated it when Itey fought with Emma.

            "No, don't bother. Who needs her?" Itey asked as he plopped down onto the couch.

            "She just needs to cool off a bit," Skittery said from his seat on the floor in front of Splinter.

            "Yeah, she'll be ok in a few minutes," Swifty said agreeing with his friend.  

            Emma stopped down the sewer and scowled as she messed her jeans up with the trickle of sewage. She wasn't more than ten feet from the turtles' home. This wasn't fair. She never asked to be her brother's shadow. She never asked to spend her weekends with a bunch of guys who didn't even want her there. Emma stood there for a few minutes fuming and then taking a deep breath turned to go back to her brother. She never saw the ninjas until they attacked.

            Itey was still a little shook up about his fight with his sister. Sure, it bugged him when she was around but she didn't need to go postal on him. He had taken a seat next the Raphael and had picked up a comic book when a dagger flew in from the door. It hit the wall with a thud and had a note attached to it.

            When Snitch said you could cut the air with a knife he wasn't serious. But yeah, no joke somebody actually tried too. He knew that wasn't the point of the flying dagger but he couldn't help but smile at the irony of it. Snitch watched as Jack stood up and pulled the dagger out of the wall and read the note. His face went a little pale and he looked over at Itey.

            This was horrible. How was he supposed to tell Itey about Emma? Jack swallowed the lump in his throat. Emma had been like a little sister to him too, she'd been like a little sister to all the guys at the pizza place. And now…

            "Itey…umm…the Foot. They…they got Emma," Jack said his voice shaking. "And they'll give her back, but….they want the turtles…"

            "Ahh don't worry about it," Leonardo said casually. "We've beaten them before, if it's a fight they want…"

            "It's not…well…they want you dead," Jack said cutting Leo off. The room was dead silent. The silence was horrible. No one spoke or even moved. Jack heard a sniff come up from Itey and looked at his friend. Itey was whipping tears away from under his eyes and Jack knew he was crushed at the news.

            "Well, that does make it a bit harder," Mikey admitted. Raphael patted Itey on the back and gave him a weak smile.

Note: Yey! Another chapter! A longer chapter! Oh I'm having so much fun writing this! Well next chapter: We met someone from the Foot and Emma gets to know what's going on. OK…don't worry it'll be good….and funny. Oddly enough her kidnapping is probably the funniest part…well that's what I think but I'll let you decided that for yourself after you read it.
