The turtles and I are sitting together in the lair, we're surrounded by blankets, pillows, popcorn, bottles of soda and sweetie wrappers.

''Hey guys! I have some time to spare while I'm waiting for 'The Creeping Doom' to finally come up on the websites… I haven't done one of these for a while! Sorry about that, I'll try to get back into the habit of doing them'' I blush, the turtles smirk. ''We've just finished watching Big Hero Six, I seriously love that movie and the end credits scene is amazing!''

''I think we should just start Ran'' Mikey chuckles. ''The readers have been waiting a pretty long time!''

''You're right. Ok let's go!'' I pull out my phone and start scrolling. ''Bluestar-TMNT-Warriors dares you guys to all tell a deep secret about yourselves''

''I don't really have any secrets…'' Mikey frowns before grinning. ''OH! But I do have a secret marshmallow pile under my bed!''

We all grimace.

''Ew, why?'' I ask, scrunching up my nose.

''I don't know… I don't remember why I did it all I know is that they were pink to start off with and now they're greeny-brown'' Mikey cocked his head in thought. ''I think it may have gotten bigger''

''That's gross'' I pretend to barf, ''Any more secrets?''

''I have my own personal photo album'' Donnie shrugs shyly, ''It's filled with my favourite photos of us along with a few drawings and other sentimental items''

''Aw!'' I grin. ''That's so sweet!''

''I still have a few of my old teddies under my bed'' Raph admits. ''They're probably pretty dusty by now''

''Despite what everyone seems to think, I hate cleaning'' Leo deadpans, ''Fans seem to think I'm some kind of neat freak! I don't like mess in my room but I wouldn't go out of my way to clean like some people think''

''Really?'' I raise an eyebrow. ''I always thought you hated mess, you seem like such a clean guy''

Leo rolls his eyes good naturedly.

''You should tell a secret too!'' Raph insists,

''Nope!'' I smirk, ''I wasn't included in the dare, Sorry!''

''What's next Ran?'' Donnie asks as he unwraps a Cadburys Éclair.

''bookworm563… It's fine if you don't review every chapter, I'm just happy you're still reading!'' I smile. ''Mikey, who means more to you? Leatherhead or Ice cream kitty?''

''Uh… They both mean a lot to me'' Mikey frowns. ''Leatherhead's one of my best friends while Ice cream kitty is my pet… I can't answer that!''

''That's ok! You said they both mean a lot to you, that's good enough'' I reassure him, ''Donnie, Has one of your brothers actually needed medical attention when they were like, your test subjects for your experiments?''

''Yes'' Donnie blushed. ''Multiple times… That's why I tend to test them by myself but sometimes they insist.''

''Is there anyone who usually gets hurt?'' I ask curiously.

''Yeah, Mikey and Raph are the ones who test them out the most.'' His blush increases as Mike and Raph nod vigorously. ''They've had broken bones, sprains, dislocated knees and shoulders, concussions, cuts, bruises… the list goes on… Leo tends to observe and help if anything goes wrong rather than actually do the testing''

''That's because I'm sensible'' Leo sends a pointed look at Raph and Mikey.

''No. It's because you're boring'' Raph mutters to Mikey who smirks in agreement.

''Moving on… MASTER SPLINTER?'' I call, Splinter strolls in gracefully.

''Yes?'' He asks, ''What is it my child?''

''How do you view Casey and April?'' I ask with a small smile.

''The same way I view you'' He answers simply. ''You three are great friends and allies in our war against enemies. They are both kind and caring, they are brave and loyal. I believe that answers your question?''

''Probably'' I chuckle. ''Thanks''

''Anytime'' He nods and walks to the kitchen.

''Sky the lucario… Could you put the name of the song up instead? I can't find it using what you put'' I rub the back of my neck awkwardly. ''Uh sorry… thanks?''

''I wonder what it was'' Donnie mused.

''A sad song apparently'' I shrug.

''I don't like sad songs'' Mikey frowned.

''I like some… I really like this one called Forever and Always!'' I smile, ''It's so beautiful''

The turtles frown and shake their heads.

''I also like 'You can let go now Daddy, everybody hurts and butterfly kisses.'' I smile.

Again they shake their heads knowing that after I've posted this I'll be playing those songs for them to hear.

''Next?'' Raph demands.

''GabyGlacier23… I'm glad my fics helped you! That makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside hearing that!'' I hug myself, ''Thank you so much for reading them! Anyway, Mikey! How would you feel if you were mistreated by your family?''

''I'd feel betrayed and hurt'' Mikey answers seriously. ''Family is all we have''

I smile as they all shuffle closer to one another.

''Raph, Are you very close to Mikey?'' I ask, already knowing the answer.

''Yeah'' Raph chuckles and puts an arm around Mikey's shoulders. ''He's the one brother I can really mess around with!''

''Leo, are you jealous of Mikey's carefree personality?''

''Sometimes'' Leo shrugs. ''Not usually though''

''Donnie'' I smile at said turtle. ''How many cups of coffee do you drink a day?''

''Um… on a normal day… 3 times. On a day with a project, 8 times a day'' He answers with a frown and hums. ''hmm… I thought it was more than that?''

''How have you not died from a caffeine overdose?'' I gape.

''Because that's impossible?'' Donnie smirks.

''You should be thankful for that'' I frown and shake my head, ''That's really unhealthy''

''Hey!'' Mikey looks at my phone, ''There's a question for you too!'' I smile and look down.

''Ran, How was it to finally embrace your inner geek side?'' I chuckle lightly. ''It was… amazing? It felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I mean, I still have insecurities and I'm still way too self-conscious but it makes me happy that I'm not pretending anymore''

The turtles smirk and rolled their eyes.

''You sound like you should be in an advert for some miracle self confidence boosting drug'' Raph teases.

''So yeah… that's all for today! Thanks for reading!'' I grin. ''Hopefully I'll remember to update this at some point… hopefully…''

We all look at you.

''Please leave a review with questions, dares, visitors etc and, again, thanks for reading!'' We all chant.

''BYE!''
