A lone figure leaned against a condemned building on a irregularly used street in New York city. She was wearing a long dark brown trench coat with a pair of large blue jeans. Her feet were bare even though it was only the beginning of spring and there was still some snow on the ground. She had a brown fedora looking hat on her head, which was pulled over her eyes. On her back was a large bookbag and she held a suitcase in a lazy grip. Sitting on the ground beside her was a dark gray sleeping bag. Gazing around for a few minutes, this figure leaned back against the wall, tugging on her hat with what would like a deformed hand to most, but to three others, it was well known. As she stood there wondering what she should do, a smaller but similar person came running up the street. After getting about ten yards from our figure, this person slowed down and began to walk casually, swinging it's arms back and forth. After passing our black coated person, the new one stopped and looked around. After a few seconds of looking, the person also leaned against the building. She was wearing a large blue coat with red lining, huge baggy blue jeans, and a brown bucket hat on her head. She had on a pair of roomy sneakers with the laces undone, lying limply to the side of the shoes. A black backpack rested snugly on her back and she had set a teal green sleeping bag down on the ground beside her. The two girls glanced at each other and then looked back down at the ground. Finally, one of them spoke up.
"Um, you wouldn't happen to be anybody named Arista, Ziptango, or Hexadecimal, would ya?" the one in the blue coat asked in a small voice. "Daydream?" the taller one replied, raising her hat to get a better look at her friend. "Yes! It's me!" Daydream exclaimed happily and immediately rushed over to the older girl. Arista looked at Daydream's now green face. "Well, this wasn't exactly how I planned for us to meet, but nice to actually see your face, Dream." Arista said, sticking out her hand. Daydream shook it warmly. "Ditto, even if it is green!" she laughed and then a look of confusion passed over her face. "Um, so are you Hex or Arista, or Zip?" she asked with an embarrassed looking grin. Arista smiled. "It's Arista." She replied. "Yay!" Dream's hyper-active voice exclaimed as she almost bounced up and down. Arista rolled her eyes. "Okay, calm down." Daydream grinned. "Kay." She piped and looked at Arista expectantly. "So, what do we do now?" questioned Daydream. Arista gave her a blank look. "Why are you asking me?!" Arista asked angrily, putting her hands on her hips. Daydream shrugged. "Well, you're like the Leo-person!" she told Arista who sighed and rolled her eyes again. "Daydream, I am not Leo, I am a girl turtle, not a guy." She informed Daydream who nodded. "Yeah, I know, but Leo's your favorite so you can tell me what we're going to do next!" Dream supplied for an answer. "That makes no sense whatsoever." groaned Arista, putting her head in her hands. The younger girl just grinned knowingly. "Yeah, that's the response I get from a lot of people." Arista looked up from her hands and into the happy green face. "Well, if your just going to wait for my answer, I say that we wait till Hexadecimal and Ziptango show up and we'll go from there." She suggested.
Daydream nodded. "Kay, that sounds like a good idea!" She sat down on the concrete sidewalk and began rummaging through her backpack. "What are you looking for?" Arista asked, sitting down beside the fifteen-year-old who didn't look up. "For my book, I can't find it." Dream pouted and began taking things out of the pack and sitting them on the ground. There was a bunch of books by Anne Mcaffrey, a Dell laptop, a couple pairs of baggy jeans, about four different Spongebob Squarepants T-shirts, an almost empty bottle of water, a bag of marshmallows, a movie that look like it had been run through the mill, and a poster of Legolas the Elf. Arista rolled her eyes. She grabbed the movie from the ground with a swift movement. "Lord Of The Rings, right?" she asked. Daydream nodded without looking up. "Found it!!!" she screeched excitedly, waving a book with the cover torn completely off of it around. As she was doing this, a car rolled around the corner and stopped in front of the building. Arista and Dream immediately tensed-up
The car door opened and a girl in a black trenchcoat stepped out. She glanced around under her black fedora. After making a assessment of the area, she walked over to the wall. Arista and Daydream were standing/sitting stock-still. The new arrival pulled down her fedora with a three-fingered hand. Looking from each other, back to this new turtle, and then back to each other. Arista sighed as Daydream gave her a pouty you-do- it face. The older turtle girl walked over to the one in the black trenchcoat. "You wouldn't happen to be someone named Ziptango or Hexadecimal, would you?" Arista asked carefully. A green face turned towards her, a startled expression on it. "Where'd you come from?!" she yelped. Arista sighed and pointed to Daydream. "Right over there. And my name's Arista." She informed the turtle. Daydream hopped up from the ground and walked over with a smile on her face. "Hey! I'm Daydream" she exclaimed. The turtle rolled her eyes and stuck out her hand. "It's Hexadecimal." she told the other two. Daydream leapt at her. "Hex!" she shrieked. Hex held up a hand. "Day, you hug me, you die." She growled. Arista grinned and tried stifled her laughter. Daydream grinned all the more and then glanced at Hex's car. "You drove all the way here?" Dream asked happily, hopping from foot to foot, unable to control her excitement. Hexadecimal nodded. "Yeah." "I took the train." Arista put in, shifting her backpack around on her back. Dream and Hex raised their eye-ridges. "Well, I rode in one of the luggage cars." Arista admitted to the grins of her two fanfiction friends. Daydream rolled her eyes. "You two are so boring, I hitched hiked all the way here!" she exclaimed. "That wasn't very smart Dream." Arista scolded. Hex let out a puff of air. "Arista you have to remember that it's Daydream we're talking about here." she stated. Daydream frowned as Arista let out a laugh. A new voice joined the group. "Well I flew here!"
The three mutant turtles immediately took stances of defense when laughter hit their ears. A person in a dark green windbreaker and baggy blue jeans stepped out from the alley. Ziptango lifted the brim of the black fedora she was wearing so she could see the other turtles. Daydream raced over, bouncing happily. "Zip!!" she squealed. Ziptango nodded. "Yeah, and I bet your Daydream, right?" she laughed, hefting a large blue duffel bag onto her shoulder. In her other hand was a dark blue sleeping bag. Daydream nodded happily. "Yep, and that's Hex and" "Arista" Arista said, finishing Dream's sentence. Ziptango smiled and waved. "Hey!" Grins passed across green faces. "So, does anybody have any idea why we're like this?" Hexadecimal threw the unspoken question out into the thick night air. Before everyone started talking at once, Arista held up a hand. "Maybe we should go inside first." she suggested, jerking one of her fingers at the condemned building behind them. "Is it safe?" Zip asked, giving the building an uncertain look. Arista nodded. "Yeah, I've already checked it out." She stated calmly as she picked up her sleeping bag and headed towards the door. Hex grabbed her by the arm. "Wait, what about my car?" she asked, not knowing where to put it. Arista pointed to the alley Ziptango had come from. "If I'm not mistaken, I think it'll fit back there." She told a relieved Hex who hopped in and backed it into the narrow alley. After parking it, Hexadecimal popped the truck and grabbed her sleeping bag and large suitcase. The four girl turtles headed into the building with mixed feelings. Dream's beak wrinkled as she stepped through the crumbling threshold. "Bet ya five dollars it comes crashing down on us the minute we get passed here." she whispered to Ziptango who rolled her eyes. "Chill out Day, Arista said it was okay." She reassured the younger girl who still looked slightly skeptical. Arista, after whipping out a flashlight, led them to an almost totally intact staircase which they climbed. In a few minutes, the four teenagers had reached the second floor of the building. Zip gave Dream an I-told-you-so look.
Arista tugged on her flashlight and it became a small lantern. She set it in the middle of the floor and the turtle girls set their backpacks, suitcases, and sleeping bags down around it. "See how long I've been waiting for you slowpokes? I've been able to cover almost every inch and cranny of this building waiting on you three!" Arista said with a smirk as she unfurled her dark gray sleeping bag and pulled off her coat. Hexadecimal rolled her eyes as she laid down on her own black sleeping bag. "Who lives the closest?" Arista flung her fedora at her. In doing so, she revealed a light blue bandanna that ended in small blue-beaded tassels that's ends went to down her waist. Ziptango also took off her fedora, showing off a bandanna that started off as dark purple in the middle around her eye-holes and got lighter until the ends, that went to the middle of her shell, were a lilac color. Hexadecimal, in order to get back at Arista, flung her black fedora at Arista's head. She was wearing a black bandanna with ragged ends, which went to right below her waist, just a tad farther than Arista's. Daydream twirled her tan bucket hat around on her finger. She was wearing a white, yellow, and orange tie-dyed bandanna that's ends went down to about eight inches above her knees. Zip reached over and gave the end of her bandanna a tug. "Why is it soooo long Day?" she asked as Daydream grabbed the bandanna end back and shrugged. "I dunno, but I like them like that!" she added hastily as Arista began to dig around in her pack for what Dream thought would be scissors. Smiling, Arista brought out another flashlight/lantern and placed it on the ground. "Since I doubt we'll be leaving New York any time soon, I looked around this building and it seems pretty stable." She began, her green face lit up warmly by the mini-lantern. "Even if it is condemned." Hex broke in. Arista gave her a look and then went on. "Anyway, I think we could live here." At the shocked faces of her companions, Arista went on. "Oh come on, it's not like we can rent an apartment looking like this!" she stated in a half-annoyed tone and then added quietly. "And there's nothing to go home to." The other three girls faces darkened.
Daydream looked up, biting her lower lip as if she had something painful to say. "Um, I have a confession to make y'all." She whispered. Zip, Hex, and Arista looked at her. "What is it?" Zip asked in what she hoped was a nonchalant voice. Dream twiddled her fingers and looked up. "I'm sorry y'all, this was all my fault!" she suddenly cried, trying to hold back tears. The older girls stared. "What are you talking about, Day?" Hex asked. Daydream looked at them with watery eyes. "It doesn't usually work, ya know, wishing on a star, but it did this time!" she sniffled. Arista rummaged around in her backpack and produced a tissue which she promptly gave to Daydream. "Dream, you're making no sense at all. Calm down and explain." She ordered calmly. Dream blew into the tissue, took a deep breath and then looked back up into the expectant faces of her fanfiction friends. "It was last week right, when you guys changed?" she questioned to her audience who nodded. "Last week, on Tuesday, at about nine-thirty, a shooting star went by and I made a wish that our dimension was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle dimension." Daydream said and then looked back at the other three who were still staring. "I fell asleep and when I woke back up, I looked like this!" She pointed at her shell, green face, and two-toed feet.
Ziptango grinned. "Ya know, I did the same thing that same night." She admitted, wiggling her toes. Arista rolled her eyes. "So did I." She put in, joining the guilty party who was now looking at Hex. Hexadecimal scowled. "So maybe I was star-gazing too, so what?" At the smiles of the other three turtle girls, Hex sighed. "But what's a bunch of wishes from four teenage turtle crazed fanfic writing girls got to do with anything?" Hex growled, straightening her bandanna. "Yeah, wishes don't really amount to anything." Ziptango agreed. Daydream sighed. "I guess you're right, but what about our parents disappearing, and us turning into turtles? Doesn't that take a little bit of magic?" Dream asked in a hurried tone of voice. Arista sighed. "I don't know what's going on, but we all four DID make a wish, the same wish." She stated and then added, "How about we just go to bed and we'll talk about it some more tomorrow, okay?" "Sounds good to me!" Zip exclaimed and rolled over in her sleeping bag. "Fine by me." Hex mumbled as she pushed her feet to the bottom of the sleeping bag. Daydream climbed into her sleeping bag and grabbed a near-by teddy bear. She grinned at the looks the others were giving her. "Wha-at?" They rolled their eyes and continued getting ready for bed. When Hex, Zip, and Dream had stopped moving, Arista reached over and turned out the light. "Night Dream, night Hex, night Zip." She muttered as she pulled the sleeping bag flap over her head. "Good night Arista, good night Hex, good night Zip!" Finishing her good-nights, Dream rolled over in her sleeping bag and got a good grip on her teddy bear. "Night, night, night." Hex replied in a slightly grumpy voice. "Good night all." Zip said as she laid her head down on her pillow. The four turtle girls slept through the night with dreams of tomorrow.
