:sits down at the computer and begins to type :

"Hey, Mikey here. Just so you all know,this little lady doesn't own TMNT or anything affiliated with it. Now that we've covered that,I've gotta hide."

Grins evilly before moving from the computer.unison voices areheard in the background

"YOU'RE DEADMICHAELANGELO!"

" GAAHHHH"

:Mikey runs from his Red cladbrother and the author of the story, who both drenched and carrying small,now empty,water pales.:

A month or two went by and they would switch off between her place and theirs and as time went by,she started to feel

differently about Raph than the others. Her heart would start racing and she would get nervous just being around him. After

returning home on a night spent at the lair,she found a note on her apartment door,informing her that the landlord had sold

the building and she, along with many of the other tenants, were being evicted. The next night,after work,she met up with

Raph again and told him what she had found.

" I gotta find a place ASAP. and I only got thirty days to do it."

She said as they walked together, headed for the lair. Along the way, she couldn't keep her eyes off Raph. For some reason,

he was beginning to look more and more handsome to her. When they arrived, they all sat down together and she explained

her current situation.

" You could always stay with us.I mean there's plenty of room here."

Mikey suggested and the other three nodded. She shook her head.

" I don't know."

She argued.

" Come on, it's no problem really."

Leo reassured,and she gave in.

" Alright,alright, I'll do it."

She said. They came and started moving things out a little at a time when she would get home from work. The night before

she was suposed to be out for good, Raph came over to see if there was anything left to do and he found the door unlocked

as usual. So, he walked in and looked around. He didn't see her in the livingroom so,he walked back towards her bedroom

and noticed that the bedroom door was cracked slightly. He looked inside and was surprised by what he saw. There stood a

beautiful young woman with light brown hair that was at least shoulder length. She wore a baggy shirt and a pair of loose fit

jeans and looked very familiar.

" "J"? "

He asked in a whisper. Hearing him, she turned to face the door.

" Raph!"

She said surprised.

" So, it is you."

He said, opening the door wider and walking in. He walked up to her, taking in her features.

" So, what's with the guy routine?"

He questioned, slightly glancing her up and down.

" Long story."

She said, suddenly angered at the thought of her past. She stormed over to her bed and picked up her hat. Raph stood there

with his arms crossed. Seeing that he wasn't going to settle with her previous answer, she sighed.

" Alright, here's the short version."

She said, sitting down on the bed, her hat tightly gripped in her fist. Raph sat next to her as she started her story.

" I was ten years old, and I was visiting my uncle.One night, after going to town, I got back and found out that, my parents

and my two brothers, had been murdered at our house. Needless to say,I wasn't gonna end up like them,so I left and became

the person you know as "J"."

She hung her head close to the end, remembering her family and missing the smile that her younger brother used to wear.

Tears started to sting her eyes but, she didn't let any of them fall.

Raph didn't know what to think, for so long he had been lucky enough to have his whole family there with him and here sat

someone who faced everyday, knowing that they would never see their family again, but, somehow found the courage to

continue living.

" Sorry"

He said, not sure how he should respond. She continued to hang her head for a few minutes, than sighed.

" Well, since you know the truth,"

She started.

" looks like I need to find some other place to go. I seriously doubt the others will want me around after they find out."

She said, looking him right in the eye. Looking into her eyes, he saw the obvious sadness, caused by the thoughts of her past

but, he also noticed a certain spark that caused his heart to jump suddenly.

" Well, I can keep a secret. Besides you're half moved in anyway."

He reasoned,with himself more than her. A smirk crossed her face and she turned toward him.

" You would actually keep my secret?"

She questioned curiously.

" Yeah, but, I don't do it for just anybody."

He replied.

"What makes me so special?"

She asked,crossing her arms. Raph smirked and crossed his arms.

" I don't know yet."

She smirked and chuckled.

" Well,when you do,let me know."

She stated and got up to return to her packing. He watched as she put a few things into a box and something came over him

that he hadn't felt before. Getting up from the bed, he walked over to the door.

" Doesn't look like you need any help with the rest of this,so I'll see ya later."

He said getting ready to leave the room. She put a few more things into the box and looked at him.

" Yeah, I'm pretty much done here."

She replied to his statement.

" Raph,"

She said, walking over to him as he starts to head out the door.

" Thanks, for everything."

She finished and before he could speak, she hugged him. It surprised him at first but, than he put one arm around her and his

heart began to pound. They let each other go and Raph left the apartment.

' What just happened?'

He thought, concerning the way he was feeling. Other thoughts crossed his mind such as;

' Should I tell the others? No, I said I'd keep her secret and I'm gonna do it.'

When he got home the others were doing their own thing. Mikey was kicking Dons shell at a video game and Leo was in the

dojo doing his usual training. So, Raph easily slipped into his room unnoticed. He laid down in his hammock and fell asleep

within a matter of minutes. For some strange reason he dreamt that he and the person he knew as "J" were kissing each

other, and the feelings that had suddenly come over him at the apartment had returned. Raph woke the next morning

wondering why he had had such a dream.

' Could I be fallin for her?'

He thought questionably. Throughout the day, there was something in the pit of his stomach telling him,

'Something bad is going to happen'

Although he couldn't put his finger on what it may be. He tried to ignore it but, it got worse as it came closer to the time when

" J" was supposed to meet them.

Uh Oh, What could this "Bad Feeling" Be? find out in the next chapter. MWAHAHAHAHAHA.

"Yo, What's with the evil laughter?"

" It adds dynamics to the cliffhanger stuff, Mikey."

" You're the boss lady."

:Thinks how she is going to get him back for the water prank:
