New chapter, maybe the computer won't kill it!
"Left, right, right, left." Hexadecimal was mumbling softly to herself. One of her sharp claws was stuck inside the mechanics of the lock on her cage. Arista looked through the bars at the furious white tiger.

"Hex, what are you doing?" she asked tentatively, not wanting to disturb the obviously angry girl. Hex looked up at her.

"I am picking the lock." She stated in a duh-what-does-it-look-like tone. Arista's mouth formed a silent O.

"Okay, Hex, but I don't think that will work." She stated carefully. Hex looked up from the lock and growled.

"And why not?"

"Because the door only opens to a perfect pitch." Danceingfae cut in on Arista's answer. Arista glared slightly, eyes narrowed because her answer was stolen.

"Huh?" Daydream's sleepy voice asked. They had been left alone since Regan had left and they were guessing it was now nighttime judging on each other's increasing lethargy. Danceingfae pointed over to a row of tuning forks that were sitting on a table beside the entrance.

"I noticed them on the way in." she explained. "And these locks don't have keyholes so I think the guess is right." Arista put in, giving Dance a look. The two turtles earned blank stares from the other authors. Danceingfae rolled her brown eyes. "Okay, never mind."

"I think it's a logical explanation." Ziptango said, ears perking ever so slightly. Arista and Dance smiled, glad that at least someone agreed with them. With a huge sigh, Hex took her claw out of the hole she had found in the lock. She flung herself back against the wall of her cage and kept her eyes downcast in fury.

"You okay, Hex?" Mily asked, grasping the bars of her own cage with a light grip. Hexadecimal turned her head slowly towards Mily.

"Yeah, I'm just dandy Mily." She muttered sarcastically, rolling her eyes. "Just peachy!" Mily gave her a slightly hurt look.

"Sorry for asking." Mily hissed and crossed her arms, turning away from Hex. Her tail began to twitch in an agitated manner. Hex let out a breath of air.

"Mi, I'm just really, really annoyed right now." Hex started. Mily refused to turn around, but her tail stopped twitching as much. "Mily, I'm sorry." The older girl apologized at last. Mily turned around, a huge grin blessing her face.

"Consider yourself forgiven!" Mily said happily. Hex took on a relieved look. After this, Raphaella began singing for some insane reason.

"I've got a bunch of coconuts, diddly diddly diddly! A whole lot of coconuts indeed, diddly, diddly, diddly! Big ones, small ones, some as large as your head! I've got a bunch of coconuts, diddly, diddly, diddly!" she sang happily. Kiki flung her discarded shoe at the alien mutant.

"RAPH, WE DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT COCONUTS!!!" she yelled. Raph looked slightly peeved for a little while and then smiled.

"I've got a bunch of oranges, diddly, diddly, diddly! A whole lot of oranges indeed, diddly, diddly, diddly! Big one, small ones, UPMH!" A bunch of flying shoes were tossed at her. "Okay, okay,. I get the drift!" Raphaella held up her four-fingered hands in a sign of peace. For a few minutes there was complete silence until a faint whistling noise was heard.

"What is that?" TygerOfTheWynd asked, eyes darting around to find the source of the slightly annoying, really irritating sound. Tyger flicked her tail in an annoyed manner.

"Hehe, I think it's Nightmare." Supplied tmnt_luver, pointing to the fifteen-year-old mutant chicken who was sprawled out as comfortably as she could in a metal cage, snoring like they do in the movies. She let out a whistle and then a little snore and then a soft whistle. Giggles flew around the room as if on the wind.

"Somebody poke her, that's so annoying!" Daydream begged, paws clasped together in hopes that the maneuver would get her some sympathy. None was given.

"Aw Dream, it sounds cute." Kiki murmured, laying on her stomach on the floor of her cage. The three mutant turtles, Kiki, Arista, and Danceingfae had found that it was near impossible to sleep on your back when there was a round shell one-fourth of your body weight on it. So they were laying out on their stomachs that were slightly softer than a plastron to allow the feminine shape to form their bodies. Hexadecimal, Mily, and Dream had found it quite comfortable to curl up in a tight circle, the tip of your tail tickling the end of your nose and ears drooped slightly in repose. Tmnt_luver had curled her long legs and with a bit of struggle managed to lay her horse half down, with her four legs under her body. It didn't seem to matter to her if she was laying down or standing, Luver had already dozed off twice while stood up. Raphaella was laying on her side, one large ear covering her face. Every once and a while she'd push it behind her head, but it never stayed for long. After a while, Raph gave up and left it there. Ziptango was curled up in a circle, but not as tight as the ones the feline mutants had wrapped themselves into. TygerOfTheWynd was trying to figure out how to stretch out comfortably, her long legs seemed to be getting in the way. Nightmare was sprawled out on the floor of her cage, head laying on her feathery folded arms. TMNT-Punker laying on her back, arms underneath her black-haired head. Soon the twelve girls drifted off into a deep and needed sleep.
TygerOfTheWynd was the first to wake up the next morning. She stretched, wincing at the pain of being cramped all night in her small cell. She let out a sharp bark of anger as she noticed Regan sitting in a chair beside one of the tables facing them all. He smirked at her indignation. Tyger's bark awakened the rest of the fanfiction group who sat up and rubbed their eyes, save tmnt_luver, she was already standing after having changed position in the night.

"Good morning girls." He greeted them in a happy tone. Each and every one of the girls scowled, eyes narrowed in aversion.

"It can't be a good morning if you're anywhere near happy." spat Raphaella, turning a dark crimson color. Nods from the other authors confirmed their agreement. Regan frowned.

"Now, now, there's no need for that kind of insult." He insisted and began to write stuff down on a pad of notebook paper, looking at Nightmare once, back to his writing and then at Daydream, glancing at a few others as well. It wasn't long before curiosity got the best of the girls.

"What are you writing?" asked Nightmare, her hands propping up her head. Regan looked up.

"I'm writing down your reactions to me. Does this bother you?" He obviously expected the authors to explode but they didn't.

"Why should it?" asked TMNT-Punker, cocking her head while pushing back a lock of black hair. "We're writers anyway." she told him with a slight air of happiness. Regan's eyes flashed in anger and then went back to his usual dull state of despondency.

"Is that so?" he said calmly, writing furiously on the notepad, everyone once in a while to take a look at a different girl. Raphaella stuck out her tongue when he looked at her.

"Yes, we're a bunch of ruddy authors, is that okay with you?!" she snapped again, turning an even deeper shade of crimson. The other authors looked at Raph with astonishment and admiration. They were used to a Raphaella that was calm, not easily blown up. Regan didn't seem to mind.

"That's a talent, I guess you could say." Regan mono-toned. He flipped the notebook closed and looked at the girls. "I believe you are entitled to know what is going to happen in a matter of minutes." He began, gaining the attention of some writers who had focused their eyes on the four men that had entered the room. Unlike Regan, they were muscular, biceps bulging out of their shirts with faces that told you not to mess with them unless you wanted to end up with body parts in the wrong place. They were looking at the girls with smiles on their faces. Not happy smiles, but that knowing sort of smile that people get when they know something you don't. These smiles made the authors cringe away and stay at the very back of their cages. Also, they had Egor with them.

"EGOR!!!" Kiki screamed excitedly. Egor grinned at her.

"Kiki!!!" he screeched and ran over to her. He stopped about a foot from her cage, gawking at her. "Hey, you not Kiki, you big, BIG turtle!!" he exclaimed with a slight frown. Kiki shook her head.

"No, it's me Egor!" she told him. He grinned again.

"KIKI!!!" after that Egor started babbling as fast as possible.

"Mean men locked Egor in room with no TV!! No TV, so Egor angry! Also, mean men no give Egor LOLLIS!! No lollis!! Mean men are MEAN!!" he rushed, smiling at Kiki all the while. Regan held up a hand for silence. Egor shut up immediately.

"This is the agenda for the rest of your lives. You shall be split up and put into separate rooms. You shall not see each other unless it is deemed necessary by the chief scientist of The Center. After being separated, you shall be subject to testing on many levels, physical and mental. This will become your life until the end of your days." Regan sneered the last remark. The authors stared in horrid fascination.

"WHAT?!" was the synchronized yell. Regan picked up a semi-large tuning fork and walked towards TMNT-Punker's cage. The unicorn girl glared daggers at him. With a flick of his wrist, he smacked the fork proficiently against the side of her cage. A melodious note rang out and the door to Punker's cage flew open. Regan grabbed TMNT-Punker's wrist and drug her from the cage.

"Let go of me!" Punker screamed, trying to fight him off. Suddenly, her horn started to glow bright white, like a star, and everyone shielded their eyes. When they blinked themselves back into sight, the writers noticed that Regan and his four henchmen were sprawled out on the floor, unconscious. They all turned to Punker who was staring at the men, wide- eyed. She turned to her friends with an oops expression on her face. "I didn't mean to kill them!" she shrieked frantically, freaking out at the possibility.

"They aren't dead, just unconscious." Kiki reassured the girl who bit her lip and nodded.

"Not that we don't want them dead." Hex said with a grin. Danceingfae waved her hand frantically at the tuning forks.

"Punker, get the forks!!!!" Danceingfae shouted, waving a hand at the row of tuning forks. Daydream grinned happily.

"It's time to eat already?" she laughed. Dance rolled her eyes. TMNT-Punker raced over to the table and grabbed the rest of the tuning forks. As fast as she could, Punker began to whack the forks against the sides of cages. Once, Punker was hitting a large fork against Mily's cage. When it didn't work, TMNT-Punker flung it backwards, muttering stupid forks. It hit Ziptango in the forehead and then bounced off the side of the dog mutant's cage. The door opened, but for a while, Ziptango wouldn't talk to TMNT- Punker. One by one the doors opened and cramped authors jumped out, stretching and groaning with the blissfully welcomed space. Tmnt_luver went over and kicked Regan lightly with her hoof.

"Shred-head wannabe." She muttered. "DITTO!!!" the other eleven authors shouted. Arista's head jerked as a shrill siren went off in the room they were in; the lights dimmed and a blue light started to flash, throwing the girls in blue glow.

"Time to go!" Arista exclaimed, pointing hurriedly towards the door. The authors ran as fast as possible to it. When there, they began to bang as hard as their paws, hoofs, hands could take. Giving up, they turned expectantly to TMNT-Punker who stared.

"Wha-at?" she asked, not understanding what they wanted her to do. Arista pointed towards the door.

"Make with the magic powers!" Arista ordered, waving her arms around for emphasis. TMNT-Punker nodded and put her horn to the door. In a few seconds, it glowed again and the door fell open, smoking at the edges. Then it melted through the metal floor, down to the next subterranean level.

"Must get some control on that." Punker told herself and followed the rest of the girls out and into the tiger's pen. They had used a different door than Regan had used to enter. The authors used the door that they had entered the lab from. After entering the tiger's pen, they sped across it and headed out the door. The authors were extremely lucky that it was early morning, before the zoo opened. After leaving the tiger's pen, they walked carefully down the sidewalk and towards the tram, all looking in different directions cautiously; there still could have been staff members checking or feeding the animals early. As the fanfiction writers sat on the fence, waiting for the tram to come, they began complementing on each other's new features.

"Nice feathers Night." Daydream snorted with a grin. Nightmare glared and then smiled.

"Not any better than those fangs yours." She commented with a smirk. Dream stuck her tongue out and then laughed.

"The better to EAT you with, you tasty piece of chicken wings!!!" Daydream laughed, smiling as wide as she could to show off her now extremely pointed teeth. Nightmare scowled and then ran over to Danceingfae.

"She's threatening to EAT ME!!!" she yelled at the top of her lungs which wasn't really necessary since Dance was standing right there. The turtle mutant looked at her with a grin.

"I guess we won't be having Kentucky Fried Chicken any more." Dance stated. Nightmare stared at her in horror and then shot back with, "I'm really gonna miss having turtle soup on Friday nights." It was Dance's turn to stare in horror.

"EGOR RIDE TRAM!!!" Egor was happily bouncing up and down on the rail. Kiki was doing her best to get him down.

"Down Egor, bad!" she ordered. Mily rolled her eyes and then dug in her pocket. After a few minutes of searching, she came up with a bright red lollipop.

"Egor, if you get down you can have the red lolli!" she bribed. Egor immediately jumped down and grabbed the lollipop.

"Hey Kiki, love your shell pattern." Mily exclaimed, turning to the older girl. Kiki smiled happily, turning slightly so Mily could get a better look at it.

"Thanks Mily. Your fur color isn't half bad itself." She said. Mily grinned and twirled in a circle.

"Thanks!" she chirped. TygerOfTheWynd was leaning against the rail, a hand on the top of her head. Ziptango gave her a strange look.

"What are you doing?" Zip asked, cocking her head. Tyger looked slightly down at her with brown eyes.

"I'm trying to see how long my horns are." She replied, running a white hand along one crooked horn. Ziptango nodded and swished her tail. Arista smiled from where she was standing beside the rail.

"You like doing that, don't you Zip?" she asked with a laughing tone. Ziptango swished her tail furiously, throwing up a cloud of dust.

"Yep!" she grinned at the semi-angry faces of her fanfiction friends. Tmnt_luver frowned as she stomped a hoof.

"How am I supposed to get on the tram?" she asked unhappily, staring at the other writers who sighed. They hadn't thought of that.

"You don't." stated Hexadecimal. Everyone turned towards her.

"What do ya mean she doesn't get on the tram?!" Raphaella asked, staring at Hex who nodded.

"She doesn't get on the tram. None of us do." Hex went on. Blank stares were her reward. Hex sighed.

"Okay, we can't get on the tram. It's not going to come for at least an hour now anyways and besides, how would it look if a bunch of mutants jumped on the tram?" she explained. The rest of them nodded.

"Then I guess we just start walking, right?" Raph stated, going a purplish- blue color. Hex nodded again.

"That's the plan." With annoyed sighs, the troupe of writers began walking down the trail to that led to the front of the zoo. Every once in a while they'd have to jump in the bushes to escape being seen. Soon they had reached the zoo entrance.

"What do we do now?" asked tmnt_luver, looking around with dark brown eyes. She was tallest and able to look over the heads of the others. The joys of being a centaur.

"We leave the zoo and make a wild dash for the bus stop." Tyger replied. It was her turn to receive the blank looks. "Chill, I've got an idea." She reassured the skeptic writers who gave their okay.

To anyone who didn't know what was going on, it would look like all the animals in the zoo had been let loose and they were running on two legs. A blue wolf was leading the herd of mismatched creatures and a centaur looking thing was running right behind it, stumbling every now and then on its gangly legs. After that came a tall, walking-upright turtle, a orange tabby cat girl, a white tiger girl, a orange and white striped cat girl, a white chicken girl, another turtle girl with a slightly different shade of green skin, a white dog girl, a alien looking thing that kept changing colors from a purple-blue to a light red, yet another turtle girl with yet another different shade of green skin and a girl that had a horn protruding from the middle of her forehead and a horse tail flowing behind her. After seeing this, you would immediately call your psychiatrist and pray that there was something seriously wrong with you.

"Okay, get on the bus." Tyger told TMNT-Punker who gave her an are-you-an- idiot look. After reaching the bus stop, Tyger had marched to the back of the line and grabbed TMNT-Punker and drug her back up to the front.

"Hello, Tyger, the horn?" Punker informed Tyger of the large silver thing that was poking out of her forehead. Tyger growled again.

"Just get on the bus!" She pushed TMNT-Punker onto the stairs. The girl's hooves made a ruckus, causing everyone on the bus to stare at the young mutant who blushed under the attention. She put two quarters into the coin- collector and moved into an unoccupied seat. Tyger shoved a protesting Mily onto the bus after TMNT-Punker. The cat mutant got even more stares than Punker. She also deposited her two coins and rushed to sit beside TMNT- Punker. The two of them were quickly followed by Hexadecimal, Nightmare, Arista, Danceingfae, Ziptango, Daydream, Raphaella, and Kiki with Egor. As you may have assumed, each girl was stared at a little more than the rest. Especially Raphaella, everyone seemed to have troubles classifying what animal she was since she kept changing colors on them. After the two-legged authors had entered the bus, tmnt_luver scrambled up the stairs.

"Um, don't be alarmed everyone, this is just a robotic costume!" tmnt_luver exclaimed, making her movements more jerky and less life-like. The passengers nodded, but kept staring at all of the girls. As Luver got situated in a seat slightly comfortably, Tyger suddenly hopped on the bus, a huge smile on her face.

"Hey everyone! If we seem a little strange to you, it's because we just got back from a sci-fi convention! It had a costume competition, which my friend there, tmnt_luver, won by a landslide." She pointed to tmnt_luver. Heads nodded and smiles returned to the faces of most passengers. Others still seemed slightly skeptical about the girls. Who could blame them?! As Tyger sat down in the seat with Kiki, she was immediately complemented on her idea. When they reached Dance's apartment building, Raphaella reached up and grabbed the brake cable. The bus screeched to a stop and the authors quickly exited and headed for the building. Tmnt_luver stared at everyone.

"They are NOT going to let me in there looking like this!" tmnt_luver exclaimed. It was Danceingfae that smiled this time. Nightmare looked at her.

"You might as well tell us your idea, Danceingfae, you look like you're about to sprout one of those little light bulb thingys from your head!" Nightmare told the older girl who smiled all the more.

"Okay, I will." Dance proceeded to tell the girls all about her plan on how to get tmnt_luver into the building.
Mrs. Fields was standing in the front room when the door to the apartment building opened. She closed her newspaper to see who it was. A group of girl came walking into the building, surrounding a slightly taller girl in a circle. One girl broke away from the group and headed over to Mrs. Fields whose hand had gone up to cover her mouth.

"D-d-danceingfae?" she stuttered, staring at the young woman. Danceingfae smiled.

"I landed the part in that movie I told you about Mrs. Fields! Isn't it cool?!" Dance said all of this in a perky happy voice. Mrs. Fields nodded.

"I'm guessing that all your little friends made the movie too?" she asked, looking over Dance's shoulder at the eleven girls and Egor. Danceingfae nodded.

"Yes, we all got parts and were allowed to take our costumes home in order to get used to them!" she explained. "We didn't want to take them off, we were so happy!" Mrs. Fields smiled.

"Well, I'm happy for you Danceingfae, good luck with the new job!" she called as Dance walked back over to the rest of the fangirls.

"Thanks Mrs. F!" Dance called back. Casually, six of the twelve got onto the elevator, including tmnt_luver. The second elevator came down and the second group of authors got in. Once they were all in Dance's room, chaos ensued.

"We can't live here for long you know." Hexadecimal told everyone. They nodded solemnly in response.

"But we also can't leave now." Arista said and then added, "We have a pretty good charade going, thanks to Dance." The girls looked over at Danceingfae who grinned.

"It was nothing." She stated. Ziptango suddenly looked up.

"Where's Raphaella?" she asked, looking around. Eyes of many colors scanned the area, looking for Raph.

"Day, Night, and Luver are missing too." Mily stated. Suddenly, the kitchen door burst open and in waltzed the culprits, arms laden with breakfast foods of every kind. The four sat down on the floor except for tmnt_luver, she kneeled. The other eight writers immediately fell on the food, remembering they hadn't eaten since yesterday afternoon.

For the next few days, the authors started to get the hang of their new forms. Kiki, Arista and Danceingfae got used to the feeling of carrying something much like a heavyish backpack on their backs, and found it quite enjoyable to be able to spin really fast on them when dancing to music (a party all the girls thought they deserved); they also had to get used to the fact that they only had three fingers. Daydream adapted to her new form quickly as though she had done it before. She could position her ears to her moods after the first day of their change, as could Hex, Mily, Tyger and Zip - which was a good thing for those who wanted to talk to Hex, they could tell if she was in a mood that allowed talking to her. Mily got used to being able to jump really high, and seemed to act more catish than human. She would jump on the kitchen counter on all fours and then leap off again. One time she hit the ceiling and apart from receiving a nasty bump on the head, also had someone thudding on the floor above them to keep the noise down. Ziptango had also caused a bit of noise pretending to chase Mily, barking and laughing, and another rap on the ceiling from the apartment above was heard. Tyger had gotten used to brushing her blue and white coat, which shined smoothly after she had. But it had taken a while to get used to holding the brush. Tmnt_luver had much more trouble getting used to walking around small areas with her horse body and at first had no idea how to spend her nights, laying down or standing up? She eventually got used to controlling her tail, which she swatted Zip and Raph with by accident once. Nightmare went crazy as soon as the next day of the transformation came. She started running around the apartment flapping her feathered arms, and only stopped when the other girls shouted to her that chickens couldn't fly. The others had to pick up the loose feathers that had flown off her when she was flapping away. Raphaella had finally gotten control of her color changes, and was able to change to the color she felt suited her mood. Her ears were annoying so she tied them back with a hair band most of the time. The authors had all gotten most things under control by day three, and had a few close calls by people from surrounding apartment banging on the door demanding for silence in the night (the girls had music blasting away at midnight most nights). They had to order out for food, as they couldn't leave the apartment. Their few days turned out to be just getting used to their bodies, and nothing major happened until they decided to call out for pizza again since they had run out of food.
