I stand in the dojo with the mini siths in my hands. Everyone except Raph and Leo are sitting watching. They both stand to the side watching. There are five swinging dummies that I'm supposed to decapitate. But I don't even get past one. As I run forward to slash at one, they throw me off balance and I fall on my face with a big

"Ummph!"

"Oooff, that's going to leave a mark." Leo says slightly looking away

"She's going to have to work on that." Raph says almost out of disappointment. I turn over onto my back and sit up.

"What do you mean? I'm going to show you how good I am with a bow and arrow now aren't I?"

"wait , what?" Leo says turning to Raph "you said she could work with a bow and arrow without consulting me?"

"Not exactly. She just wants to." leo shrugs,

"Well why not?" Leo finishes

"Really?" I say in disbelief. "No way!"

"Get the weapon!" Mikey shouts. Raph grabs the bow and arrow and tries to teach me how to use it but before he even finishes one sentence I shoot the arrow and nock the apple out of Mikey's hand. Now it's stuck to the wall.

"Hey, I was going to eat that!" Mikey complains

"You could have hit him." Raph scolds me

"No I couldn't have." he looks at me skeptically. "Look, whether you like it or not I'm a good shot. I'm good at it, really good." Raph lets out a sigh and walks to the side. Leo leaves the room then comes back with six more apples. He rearranges every one to form a line at the far end of the dojo. He tells Mikey to sit down then places one apple one each of their heads. Then one in each of mikeys hands then one on his own head. After he gets in line.

"Ok frances, prove yourself." I take a deep breath and notch an arrow. I open my eyes and shoot the first arrow straight at Raph's head. He screams. My arrow hits the apple and pins it to the hall behind him. He looks at it and the others have to hold onto their apples so they don't fall while the laugh.

I take a step backwards and to my left and notch my second arrow. I release while Donnies still laughing. And then he stops laughing with a thud. Raph and Leo's faces are splattered with apple juice. Its silent while I notch the next arrow and shoot it at Leo. He doesn't even flinch when It hits the apple. His apple splits in two and the sticky arrow hits the wall.

Then I move on to Mikey. The way he sits reminds me of the egyptians I learned about once with April and Casey. I want to impress them so I notch three arrows at the same time. I take a deep breath then exhale and release the arrows. Mikey kept his eyes closed the whole time and he didn't know I notched three arrows.

The arrows swirl towards him and separate just as I planned within the blink of an eye all three apples are gone. For a brief moment everything is silent. Then Leo says.

"Well congratulations francis. You just earned your weapon."

"No way… really?" I say

"Um, did you just see yourself? Yah you've earned it." I turn to Mikey and Raph stomps away in a huff.

"Nice job Francis." he smiles at me and gives me two thumbs up.

After dinner we all sit around in the big room. Except for Raph. he's still pouting about me using a bow and arrow. Mikey burps really loud and that's when Raph stormes out of his room.

"I have an Idea." we all look at him in surprise, "why don't we bring France to the surface for her first time tonight. We can tell stories around a fire or something."

"Yah that sounds fun." Leo says

"Let's do it." April says and Donnie nods in agreement.
