Author's Notes: Sorry for the long wait. I couldn't update because my beta didn't have the internet when she went home for Thanksgiving. So, I bring you chapter five. I'm also going to give you chapter six since you readers had to wait awhile, and chapter seven will be coming soon.

Chapter Five: Meeting Dawn:

"So..." Mikey broke the silence that hung in the air.

Buffy had just reunited with Raph, and it felt a little uncomfortable. Mikey was good at breaking up awkward moments like this. "Can I please hug you now?!"

Buffy laughed. "With open arms."

"YES!" Mikey gave a major death hug, or also known as a glomp. The turtles followed. Raph was a little hesitant but he too gave her a hug. Splinter even gave her a hug.

"It's good to see all of you again." Buffy told them.

Dawn cleared her throat. She hated being ignored. She wanted to know who these creatures were. "Oh, sorry guys, but this is my sister Dawn."

"Hi... Nice to meet you, I guess." Dawn said to the mutants.

"Well, heya young Summers." replied Mikey with a bow. "I'm Michelangelo, but call me Mikey." Mikey continued the introductions. "And the others are Leonardo, Donatello, Venus, and the red head is Raphael."

"Can't you do anything right?" asked Raph with a roll. "You forgot Splinter."

"Oh, and the rat is our sensei Master Splinter." Mikey finished.

"Thanks for that introduction Michelangelo." said Splinter. He turned to Dawn. "I have a feeling your sister told you about us."

"Yeah, she did."

"Don't worry Splinter. She knows how to keep a secret. I thought it wouldn't hurt to tell her."

"That's all right." he said. "Does anyone else know?"

"No one." answered Buffy.

"Good." he smiled. "If you excuse me, I have to rest. Once again, it's good to see again."

Buffy and the others watched him leave. Then she turned back to them. "So what's up with you guys? Anything new since I left?"

Leo was going to tell her about him and Venus but Raph did it for him. "Our great leader got the girl. They're sharing a room now."

Buffy smiled at Leo and Venus. "That's great! So have you guys..."

Leo quickly shook his head, and Venus blushed. Well, as close to blushing to a turtle could get anyway. "Oh, sorry..."

"That's okay." Leo replied. "Don't worry about."

Raph snorted. Every time he would make a comment like that, Leo would give him a hard time. However, it was different when it came to Buffy. "I'm going out." He told everyone and he left the den.

"What's up with that?" asked Dawn to Buffy. "From what you told me, it would seem he would be happy to see you."

"It's more complicated then that." Buffy said. She turned to the other turtles. "Would you guys mind watching her just for a little while?"

"No. Not at all." answered Venus.

"But Buffy...?"

"Stay here." Buffy ordered and went to follow Raph.

"Great. Now, I'm only with four mutant turtles." said Dawn to herself.

"What?" Donnie asked her.

"Nothing." she replied quickly.

Raph was all ready a few feet from the den. As he walked in silence, he heard footsteps behind him. He knew it was Buffy who was following him.

"Raph! Wait up!"

Raph sighed and turned around. "What?"

"How come you walked out like that?" asked Buffy. "I thought you would be happy to see me."

Raph gave her a small smile. "I am... It's just... I don't know."

"You know, I think you do know." Buffy replied. "I'm sorry that I... Well, I guess rejected you but turtles and humans can not go together. It's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible!" yelled Raph. "Can't we figure out someway for it to work? I'm so tired of being lonely! I know I'm being selfish and all but Leo gets everything! Mikey, Don, and I get shit!"

"Raph... there is another reason why I can't be with you."

"What is it?" he asked harshly.

"I'm seeing someone."

"What?!" Raph replied. His anger was starting to build up inside of him. "I thought you weren't seeing anyone!"

"Remember when I told you who I really was?" she asked. Raph nodded. "Remember the vampire Spike I told you about?" Raph once again nodded. "I'm with him."

"Oh, so you can get with a vampire but not a turtle!?"

"He's not like you Raph, he looks Human."

"But he's not!" he screamed. "He's the undead! A evil blood sucker from beyond the grave!"

"He's not like other vampires." Buffy pointed out. "He's different. He's on our side."

"How can you be with someone who's so far away from you?" questioned Raph.

Buffy sighed. "I brought him with me."

"Oh, great." said Raph with an eye roll.

"You and the others will meet him later." Buffy told him. "Promise me you'll be nice."

"You know what? I'll give you something better then that." Raph turned back around and started walking off.

"Raph!" cried Buffy. Raph put a hand up and continued walking. She knew that, that meant for her to leave him alone. She sighed and knew it was no use in trying to go after him. So, she went back to the den.
