She sat listening to the rain as it hit on the window and was wondering when they were going to leave. "Aunt April I've been ready for an hour when is Casey going to get here?" the impatient 16-year-old asked her aunt. April O'Neil walked out of her bedroom "Casey just called he said he would be a little late but he remembered that he promised you a nice night out for your birthday." April was amused with the fact that her boyfriend Casey Jones had taken an interest in her niece's well being since she had come to live with her 4 years ago after her parent's murder.

Casey looked at his watch and realized that he was an hour late for his date. "Sorry Raph but I have to go I'm already late and I hate to keep a lady waiting." He told his friend as he walked out of the alley where they had just beaten up three thugs and were waiting for the cops to come and pick them up. "It's just April Casey call her and tell her to change it and it will be all okay." The mutant said to Casey. "I would if it was April but its not its Sasha and it's really important to her." "Who the hell is Sasha and does April know that you are cheating on her?" Raphael asked. Casey shook his head in amusement that Raph would even suggest that he was cheating on April cause if he was and she found out it wouldn't very pretty for him. "Sasha is April's sixteen year old niece and today's her birthday and I promised to take her out since April is working on some important news report." So he left and Raph being slightly nosy decided to follow him and take a look at this little girl that amused Casey so much. "Mikey I'll be a little late so don't wait for me okay." He told his younger brother so they wouldn't worry about him and go looking for him when all he wanted to do was spy on his friend and this mysterious Sasha.

When Raph finally caught up with Casey he had already got Sasha and was coming out of the apartment building. When Raphael got a look at Sasha he almost choked, she was about 5'4", with long copper hair and he had no idea what color her eyes were but he bet they were gorgeous. He followed them all night and thought he was doing a good job of hiding but he underestimated the female trait of knowing when something is wrong. "Casey I think we are being followed?" Sasha said softly to Casey as they walked back from the park. "Okay and what do you think we should do about it." He asked softly knowing full well that is was Raph that was following them. "I think I can take care of it myself if that's okay with you Casey." Sasha asked softly. Casey looked at her and wondered what she could do to a mutant turtle that had 16 years of martial arts training and was armed with a weapon.

Sasha walked up behind Raph and before he knew it she had struck and the pain he felt in the back of his head made him realize that for all his ninja training someone had gotten the drop on him. He turned to fight off his attacker but all he saw was a little girl and he just started to laugh. "Why did you hit me?" he asked in between laughs. "Why are you following us?" Sasha asked not noticing that he was a giant turtle. "Actually I was following Casey to see if he was cheating on April but I guess not cause I don't think he would cheat on April with someone as small as you." He said with a tint of meanness in his voice. Finally the moon moved enough for her to see what Raph truly was and she just looked at him. "You're the turtle that saved my aunt aren't you?" she asked softly not showing any fear. "Yea I saved her and you're not scared of me." "Nope I just think you're an arrogant asshole who is mean to girls." And she turned and left.
