Rude Awakenings

A loud squeal peeled through the air. Raph tried to jump out of bed, ready to fight. However, the blankets were twisted around his legs and all he managed to do was land flat on his beak. He growled at no one in particular and hurried to untangle himself from the sheets. Before he could however, Jade came running into the room and slammed his door closed behind her. She leaned against it and just stood there stairing at him. He arched an eye ridge at her. "Jade-"

"Shhhhhhhh! They'll find me!" She whispered as she rushed to help him get untangled. "That woman grabed me! Right here!" she whispered grabbing her own breasts. "She wants to take me to some place and have someone else feel me up too!"

Raph couldn't help it, he started laughing. The poor thing was freaking cause April wanted to take her to get a bra! "Who taught you that phrase anyways 'feel me up'?"

Jade sat down on the floor and glared at him. "It's not funny! She's a scary person and I don't want to go anywhere where people are going to grab me!" She yelled forgetting to be quiet.

"There you are!" April said opening the door. " I didn't mean to startle you."

Jade quickly retreated behind Raph. "I don't want to go unless he comes too!" She yelled as she peeked over his sholder.

Raph sighed. "Jade I can't go, and you're making to big of a deal out of this. All girls your age have to do it."

"Why can't you?"

"Because he stands out sweetie." April answered fro him.

"Oh. If you didn't stand out, I mean if you looked human, would you come with me?"

"Of course!" He answered easily, knowing it wouldn't happen. Out of nowhere Jade grabbed his head and kissed him. Raph was so startled he couldn't move at first, when he did he pushed Jade away and looked at his hands. "What.....What did you do Jade?" he asked shocked. He had five fingers and his skin was fadeing it wasn't green anymore it was tan.

"Now you can come with me!" She squeled as she pushed him towards a mirror. "See you don't stand out at all! It will only last till I can turn you back though, then you'll be normal again."

April just stood there and stared. Raph was a cute human. He had dark black hair that was unrully and fell into his chocolate brown eyes. He had a mucular build and a tan all over. "Ummmmmmmm....Maybe we should get you a couple of things too." April said noticing that cloths hadn't beein included in the package.

"So that's what a guy looks looks like without any thing on." Jade mused.

Raph blushed as red as his usual face mask. "JADE! OUT! NOW!" He bellowed pushing them both from the room.

"But Raph.....But I ..."Jade turned around just in time to see the door slammed shut in her face. "What did I do wrong?" she asked looking at April with pure confusion.

"What is going on here?" Splinter calmly asked as the other's too gathered around.

"He said he would go with me if he blended in. So I made him blend in. Now he threw us out. I don't understand. What did I do wrong?" Jade asked exasperated and confused.

Splinter raised an eyebrow at her "Exactly how did you 'make him blend in' Jade?" he asked her gently.

"Like this!" She proclaimed as she grabbed the turtle standing closest to her. Mikey's eyes were as round as a saucer as Jade kissed him. Everyone gasped, except April who grabbed a blanket. Jade released him, April threw him the blanket. "You'll need that." She told the now human Mikey. He was a little shorter than Raph, his hair as sandy blond and his eyes a bright baby blue.

"Now you can come too!" Jade said into the quet. She felt something weird on her upper lip it was warm and it was sliding down slowly. She reached up and touched the source. She brought her fingers away from her nose and stared at them. Raph came out of his room to see what all the comotion was, now wearing a pair of kakie shorts and a hawian shirt. He looked at Jade's tranfixed expression and then her finger tips.

"Jade! Where'd the blood come from!" He yelled grabbing her hand and noticing that blood was flowing from her nose quiet quickly. "Get a tissue! Come on Jade sit down!"

April hurried into the bathroom and came back with a towel, Splinter followed Raph , who was pushing Jade into the living room. Leo rushed into the kitchen and came back with a small bowl of water and some ice. Raph pushed Jade into a chair, grabbed the towel from April and shoved it under Jade's nose while pushing her head back. Mikey emerged wearing something similuar to Raph. "How bad is it?" he asked leaning over the back of the chair and brushing Jade's silver bangs out of her eyes. He had decide that her hair was more silver than white at some point in time.

Leo was using a clean wash cloth and the water to wash the blood off of Jade's fingers. He took in the amount of blood that had spilled onto her tank top before Raph had gotten the towel under her nose. "That's alot of blood for just a nose bleed Raph." His voice was concerned.

"I'm gonna see if it's stopped bleeding. Don't move you're head Jade." He responded moveing the towel aside. "Yeah I think it's stopped bleeding. What happened?" he demanded of his brothers.

Leo dipped the wash cloth into the water and began to gently wash away the blood on Jade's face. "She drained herself of too much energy in too short of a time." Venus answered. "You are mortal now, you can not use so much energy at once. It takes it away from your life energy now."

"Jade, are you alright?" Mikey asked as he stared into her still shocked green eyes.

"I've never bled before." She sounded shocked she stared at the little bowl of now red water. "My head feels funny and I'm sleepy." She commented frowning.

"I'm going to go out and her you two something to wear till we can get to the mall. I'll find her an new top too. You guys should probaly come with us too." April infromed them.

"Jade why don't you lie down for a bit. You're body is tired from loosing the blood." Don commented as carefully touched her nose to make sure it was finished bleeding.

"Come with me child, you can rest on the couch." Splinter helped the girl a few steps to the couch and let her lie down. "Venus, did you know she could do that?" He asked when Jade was settled.

"No. She never told me. I'm not suprised though. She is very powerful, I'm not even sure how powerful."

"Perhaps we should limit the amout she uses her power till she becomes accustomed to her new limitations."

"Does that mean we get to stay like this till she has the power to change us back?" Mikey asked excitedly as he spread a blanket over a now sleeping Jade.

"Iguess so." Venus answered. "I'm going to see if I can't find some way to do it though." She went to her room to begin looking threw anything she had. In all her time of knowing Jade she had never guessed that the little half mortal had possesed so much power in her. Transforming a living thing, especially as big as her new family memebers where, took a great deal of power. She had done it so easily, as though it was a child spell. No wonder she was now so tired. It must have taken alot of her energy to complete the spell necissary.
