Chapter 2: Spark is unconscious, & the turtles learn how Raphael knows Spark!

"Spark, Spark! Can you hear me?" yelled Raphael into the unconscious girl's ear, hoping that she would hear his voice and wake up. He was worried because she had been asleep for three days.

"Raphael, let her rest!" said Master Splinter as he brought out hot cups of green tea and a plate of rice crackers. The girl who had saved their lives was asleep on the couch, having been wounded by the infamous Shredder. Two long knife cuts on her face had bled heavily, but with Master Splinter's gentle care, they were now just scars, her trophy for her headlong battle. Her other wounds were just a few small nicks from the ninja stars and some bruises from her fall down the roof. The only other large wound was a big black and blue bruise on her forehead, which the turtles saw after removing her backwards cap. Raphael sighed, and left the couch to sit with his brothers and Master Splinter. He took his cup of tea and just stared at it, lost in thought. It was Mikey who broke the silence.

"So, bro, how did you get to know... Spark?" asked the orange turtle as all of the others turned to look at him.

"I met her on the street one night when I was collecting some junk for Donney. As I finished finding some stuff, two of Shredder's black ninjas came out of nowhere and took me down. Since I had left my sais in my room, I was defenseless. I tried to hold them off with some of the metal I got for Don, but then more came. Then she came..."

Flashback:

"You ninjas are always getting on my back!" yelled Raph as he tried to fight them off. The more he fought; the more came, until ten had piled on him. Then a voice laughed.

"Geez, you really do need someone to save your back for you!" said the voice as it gracefully fought off all of the ninjas. More came. Raph gasped, but the figure threw him her twin sais and grinned. The smile that sparkled in the dark...

"Let's fight!" she yelled and flipped over to fight the remaining ninjas. Raph took her cue and helped her fight the black ninjas. After the pair had finished off all of the ninjas, Raph turned to look at the girl in her blood red backwards cap, and her dark sunglasses that hid her eyes. All of a sudden a light and voices approached the area. Quick as a flash, the girl threw herself at the red turtle and they crashed into the dark black wall. The lights got close, but then they left. Counting to ten, the girl got off of Raph and looked around. Then, she turned around to look at the turtle.

"If I hadn't shone up, you'd have been sent to Shredder by now," laughed the girl as she took her sais from Raphael's outstretched hands.

Raphael stammer, "Thanks..."

"Thanks Spark," said the girl, grinning her bright white smile.

"Uh, ya, thanks... Spark," said Raphael, looking down at his feet. The girl smiled and patted his shoulder.

"See you soon... Raphael," said Spark as she turned around to walk down the alley.

"Wait!" yelled the turtle. Spark stopped and looked at him through her sunglasses, still smiling.

"Friends?" he said, holding out his hand. She shook it.

"Friends. And, can I call you Ruffles?" asked Spark, turning hot a little under her hat. The turtle looked at her.

"Sure."

The two parted, and when Raphael looked back for a glimpse of Spark, she was gone.

Flashback Ended

"Earth to Raph, Earth to Raph!" yelled Mikey into his ear. He had just sat there, not gazing at anything in particular as he told the story.

"Uh! Oh... sorry. Got caught in my mind," mumbled Raph. Leonardo, Donatello, and Master Splinter looked at him.

"So that is why you had so many scratches on you the night when you came back," whispered Leonardo.

Raphael didn't say anything and just sat there thinking. Here was a girl that saved his life, and all he could do for her was watch her, praying that she lived.

"Raph, RAPH!!!!" yelled Mikey into the turtle's ear again. He looked startled and faced his brother.

"April's getting pizza. We're going to go get it up. What kind? Your pick," said Mikey kindly. All of the others stared at him with comfort in their eyes.

"Not hungry."

"Oh! So first he's all gruff, then he getting all emotional over a girl...' burst out Mikey.

"A girl that saved our lives," reminded Leonardo as he put his hand on Raph's shoulder. "Why don't you stay here and watch Spark?"

"Okay," mumbled Raphael as he settled himself down in a chair close to the couch where Spark lay. The others all left Raphael in peace.

"He'll need some time to nurse his wounded heart," said Master Splinter as they got into the van. "He seems to know Spark very well."

You said it," said Leo, with a hint of resentment. Only Donatello noticed, but he kept quiet.

"Spark! You have to wake up!" whispered Raph into the girl's ear. He sat back down in his chair and thought "There's so much I have to tell you..."
