Dimensional Adventure
"I can't sleep", Mikey whispered.
Theo sighed and turned on the small lamp next to his bed. It lit up the big room inside the tree, with beds going along around the room walls and a big rug in the middle. Mikey was next to Theo, the sheets tangled at the end of him where he kept rolling over. Next to Mikey was Leo, and then Raph was in the bed next to him, then Donnie, then Tiran, and lastly Kida, who was near the entrance.
All of them were awake, except Kida.
They all looked at her, rolling her head in her sleep and breathing loudly.
Raph shook his head. "I can always hit her", he whispered.
"NO!" all of them hissed at him. Her head had stopped rolling now anyway.
"You know, I'm surprised that she can sleep", Leo said quietly. "I wouldn't be able to catch up with my breathing pattern by the way she's breathing so hard. Think we should wake her?"
Theo shook his head. "No", he said. "I bet she hasn't had any sleep".
Mikey sighed. "Aww, I'm hungry!"
"Sorry Mikey", Theo whispered. "But I don't know how to make food just appear with a click of my fingers. You'll have to wait".
"Should have told me", a voice spoke up. "I would have gotten you some food".
Raph turned his head with a growl. "Should have told us you were awake", he hissed at Kida. "Then we wouldn't be whispering just for you".
Kida sat up in her bed and growled back at him, her eyes blazing brightly. "I was asleep. Just that your horrible voice somehow gets in my head and wakes me up".
"Well it's not as if we can sleep with you rolling your head", Raph snapped.
Kida didn't say anything, just looked at him in anger. She pushed the sheet away from her and jumped out of bed, still wearing her jeans and green t- shirt, but now slightly more creased. She slipped her sneakers on and fastened up the laces, before standing up straight to look at them.
"Sorry guys", she said to all of them. "I forgot about your hunger. Here". She clicked her fingers and a table appeared on the rug in the middle of the room, with a long bench going around it. On top there were all kinds of food. Pizzas, which Mikey was looking at in shock, apples, pies, fries, vegetables, deserts, sweets, pasta, rice - anything that looked delicious was placed on the table.
Kida smiled. "If you can't sleep you might as well eat", she said.
"Thanks Kida!" Mikey grinned and jumped over to the bench.
"Wow, that's so cool!" Donnie smiled. He knew that whatever Kida could think of would have appeared on the table, but it was amazing with just the click of her fingers. His grin reflected Mikey's and he went to sit with his brother.
The others joined, and Kida nodded as if thinking, "that's that taken care of". She turned around and headed towards the exit.
"Wait", Mikey said, and everyone looked at her. "Aren't you going to eat with us?"
Kida shook her head. "No, Mikey, I'm not hungry". She clicked her fingers and a basketball appeared in her hands. "I'm gonna shoot some hoops outside".
"But it'll be dark", Donnie pointed out. "And there isn't a light or a basketball hoop outside, is there?"
Kida clicked her fingers again.
Everyone turned around to see if anything had changed, but when nothing could be found they all turned back to her. She smiled, as if evilly thinking something.
"There is now", she said, and went outside.
Mikey laughed, but Donnie was still frowning.
"I thought she said she could only get stuff she knew was somewhere", he spoke up and everyone looked at him in confusion. "I mean, she told us that she could only get things she knew were there. Like cans from a fridge, or food from a freezer, so how can all this food be cooked and a basketball and net be outside?"
Tiran, sitting next to Donnie, looked up at him. "Even Kida won't know the answer to that. You see, she won't discover it yet, but her powers are improving more and more each day".
Donnie nodded. "Oh, right, so this food is definitely real then?"
Tiran smiled and nodded. "It's real. But even Kida will be thinking about how it is already cooked. I think she knew how hungry you were, and didn't want to get food that had to be made, so she somehow did it herself. It is one of her many talents that she does not know she has".
Donnie smiled and took a bite out of his pizza. "Must be cool, to how powers like that. I wish I could do something like that to get my computer here".
Tiran nodded again. "It is a rare gift, one that Kida learned when she got here", he said. Everyone turned to listen to him. "Kida was just a normal girl when she arrived here - everyone was. But those who are forced to stay learn magic; some learned evil magic, but most learned good. Kida refused to learn magic, because she didn't want to become lazy, or like anyone here. She wanted to be normal. But whenever in danger she would do magic that her brain refused against, so it would tare her apart. Sometimes it backfired. So Keja had to take separate time with Kida. Told her she had to accept that she was unique, that she had power. It took a while, but eventually Kida controlled her magic and accepted it, but she does not like to use it".
"She looked happy to me when she got that ball", Raph said.
Leo stared at him. "There's nothing against it, Raph".
"No", Tiran said. "There isn't. Kida will use her magic for her own entertainment, but she will not do it often. It is only when she wants to take her mind off something, so she'll play sport. It is her way of blocking out her thoughts".
"What kind of thoughts?" Mikey asked.
"Always the nosey one", Donnie smiled slightly.
"Am not!" Mikey snapped. "I'm just wondering".
"These thoughts are not your ordinary distractions", Tiran said.
Theo nodded in agreement. "Kida doesn't have ordinary thoughts".
"It is true", Tiran said, turning to the others. "Kida's thoughts and emotions are always mixed up, confused. That is why she gets angry so easily, because they frustrate her and the more her anger blocks them out, the more confused she gets. She is not like an ordinary girl, she has lived a hard life, and still does".
"Do you think she should be out there then?" Leo asked. "Especially since she's ill, injured, and alone?"
Theo turned to Leo. "As much as I want to go out there", he said with a small smile, "and drag her back in, I cannot. I've learned from our arguments that Kida prefers to be alone, and nothing we say can bring her back in against her will".

Why do they keep talking about me?! Kida thought furiously as she threw the ball against the hoop that hung on the tree above her. She frowned. It's not like I'm weird or anything, she whispered in her head, but it doesn't mean I want Tiran to talk about my powers. I don't even like magic . . . and yet I feel it getting stronger. With my anger too, she added in her mind, because those idiots in there won't stop talking about me! I can hear them!
In a sudden rage, Kida stomped back inside the tree with the basketball clutched tightly in her hands. She got inside just as the guys were finishing their breakfast. Outside was now light, the sky painted with oranges and reds, and she knew they should get moving.
"Nice conversation?" she asked sarcastically.
Theo suddenly looked at her in shock. "Kida . . . can you hear our voices outside the tree?" he asked.
"No!" she snapped. "But I - I knew what you were saying! Look, I have powers, all right? I know I can't explain them, but if you want to know about them you can just ask me! God's sake it's not as though I like people talking behind my back!!" she added in a yell.
The lamp near Theo's bed suddenly flew from its table. Everyone ducked as it flew over their heads and smashed against the wall.
"Is everyone all right?" Tiran asked.
"Fine", Leo spoke from the darkness that now engulfed them.
"We better go outside", Donnie said.
Everyone made their way towards the door and jumped outside. The sun was just shining through the tree trucks, casting long shadows in front of them. Kida shivered, even though her temperature was higher than ever. The guys still had their clothes on, and so did Donnie now that he had been given his own jumper and pants. Theo had a dark green jacket on now, and Tiran had his fur.
Raph turned to Kida. "What did you do?!"
Kida knelt down on the earth and rested her hands on her knees, leaning forward and looking at the rustled leaves on the ground in shock.
"I - I didn't do anything", she said. "It wasn't my fault".
Everyone was silent as they looked at her, then Mikey spoke up.
"It doesn't matter, Kida", he said softly. "No one was hurt. We're fine. It was just a freaky accident that's all. It wasn't your fault".
Kida didn't say anything. She just breathed quietly for a few minutes, trying to calm herself down. Her heart was thumping in her chest. She had never done anything like that in her life! She stood up slowly and looked at Mikey.
"Maybe you're right", she said, but she knew she was lying. "Let's get going".
"It takes a day to get across the mountains," Tiran said. "We have to stay together if we want to survive this journey, ok? We can't afford to be spilt up. It took 2 days of your journey to get back together. If that weren't for Kida you probably never would have. We can do this, but we have to be careful".
Kida nodded. "He's right. Don't wander. Except Raph", she added, her heart still thudding but wanting to distract herself, "you can wander as much as you want".
"You're so funny I'm dead with laughter", Raph said, folding his arms.
Kida smiled. "You wish", she snapped. She started to head off towards the trees, and everyone slowly followed. Mikey and Donnie walked together, both talking about what they had been through. Mikey was definitely impressed with Donnie's Shrek story. Leo and Raph walked behind them, their own little conversation going on. Kida and Tiran walked in front, side by side, and Theo just tagged along the edge. He seemed to be thinking about something, and in a few seconds he was by Kida's side.
"Why do you have to be so sarcastic to him?" he whispered, referring to Raph. "We're not going to get very far if you 2 are at each other's throats".
Tiran tilted his head up to listen.
Kida looked at him angrily. "I can speak to him however I want! You wouldn't believe how sarcastic he was to me when we were alone! It was like I was in a conversation with death! What's it to you?!"
Theo looked hurt with her last words. "There used to be a time when you wanted my friendship", he said softly. "Now it seems you're trying to push me away. I'm concerned because you know as well as I do that you threw that lamp. It's your anger, Kida, it's worse than Raph's, and I've heard from Leo that he can get quite angry sometimes. You've got to control it".
Kida stopped looking angrily at him and frowned. She actually looked scared. "I can't", she whispered quietly.
Tiran decided to speak up. "You can", he said. "Once you've controlled your magic. You know how your magic works, Kida, you can control it".
Kida shook her head and quickened her pace, walking a few metres ahead of everyone. Her headache was thumping away at her temples, and her arm had reached an unbearable pain, and this distracted her thoughts. She looked at her arm and sighed. The things she got herself into sometimes - they were ridiculous.

"You've just been in a cave for nearly a whole day?" Donnie raised an eyebrow, and then laughed. "Mikey! The things you get yourself into sometimes!"
"At least I didn't meet Donkey from Shrek!" Mikey said.
Donnie smiled. "Aye . . . yet it was an honour!"
Mikey laughed. "Bet it was. Now we've just gotta meet the big green dude himself! Oh, and the big bad dragon!" Mikey lifted his hands up, pretending to have claws.
"The only big green dude here is you, bro", Donnie said. "And I don't feel up to meeting a big dragon here. What about Princess Fiona?"
"Nah", Mikey shook his head with a grin. He pointed at Kida, walking ahead of Tiran and Theo, who were having their own whispered conversation. "We've got our own princess right here. Not that she'll be a damsel in distress or anything".
Donnie grinned and nodded. "True".

The trees were doubling as Kida walked. In fact, so were the mountains. Kida shook her head, trying to get rid of her fuzzy vision. She turned around and was shocked to see that Theo was gradually stretching himself into a twin. Her eyes narrowed, and Theo went back to normal.
Ok, she thought, I really have to get some glasses.
She turned back around, and got a face full of a tree.
The laughter behind her could most be recognisable as Raph's. Everyone was laughing in a, "I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you" kind of way - but Raph's was definitely a, "I'm sooo laughing AT you" laugh.
"That wasn't funny!" she yelled.
"Was!" Raph said.
Kida growled. "You know", she snapped, "sometimes I wish I could just click my fingers" - she clicked her fingers lazily in demonstration - "and a massive, horrible, maybe 10foot bear came up behind you! Shooting bullets out of its mouth!!"
Raph rolled his eyes. "Yeah, right!"
They all carried on walking in silence.
Suddenly Tiran stopped, and sniffed the air.
"Hey", Kida said softly. "What's wrong?"
Just as he was about to say something, a loud roar echoed throughout the trees, stopping them in their tracks. Mikey gave a squeaky scream and clung onto Donnie's arm, shaking slightly.
"Please tell me that was your stomach . . .?" Mikey stuttered to his brother.
Donnie looked at his brother with wide eyes and shook his head.
Leo and Raph quickly pulled out their weapons, holding them tightly. Leo turned to Raph in shock, with a look that said, "you don't think that . . .?"
Raph gave a very slow nod, and snapped his head around as the trees around them started to move, the leaves rustling noisily. Mikey pulled out his Nunchucks and Donnie grabbed his Bo, leaving Kida and Theo to look at each other in confused shock. Something brown whizzed past them, and Kida ran over to Theo.
"You don't think that I . . .?" she hissed.
Theo nodded, and gulped, his Adam's apple moving in his throat. "I think you did, Kida", he said, trying to keep the shake out of his voice. "I really think you did".
Mikey let out another yell as a face suddenly loomed on them. Everyone looked into the beady, black eyes of a massive bear, and all their heads looked up slowly, taking in its enormous height.
Theo grabbed Kida's arm, and she winced when his hand touched her lower back.
"Get rid of it!" he hissed. "You have to get rid of it!"
The bear let out another roar.
Kida pulled herself from Theo's grasp, and her aqua eyes looked at him in complete confusion, shock, and fear. "I can't! I don't know how . . ." she trailed off, just as the bear went for Mikey . . .

(Sorry for the quite-rushed ending. And sorry it's a LITTLE late, lol, I've been away for 4 days so I didn't get a chance to finish the chapter and post it before I left. Anyway, thanks for the reviews - you've been great! Mike, Raph, Don, Leo (Leo's you now, Neosun, lol, he was the only one left!) Great ending on Undiscovered Power, too, Raph - I just thought I'd write it on here instead of a review! lol, I know, I'm lazy. Well, thanks again!)
