Sorry for the short entry tonight folks. I have been stuck with a bit of writer's block. I just want to say that I respect everyone's opinion. However before you get mad and blow up about how I start my stories with the characters please keep an open mind. You may understand why I have the characters react and do the things they do for a valid reason. Thank you again for reading. Please enjoy.

April's POV

Thanks to Vernon, I hadn't been able to find a job at all. I tried all the networks and so far all I got was disapproving looks or smirks with sexual innuendos' from the male interviews that were pigs. Its been a little over two weeks and I haven't seen anything of Raphael. If he is watching then he is keeping his distance. I need to forgive him but can't. I know he is trying to protect me but where do you draw the line? I mean, seriously! Yes, I am grateful that Raphael stopped the deal with Vernon. However a very small bit of me is very bitter because I no longer have a job. I can't even get on doing modeling or working at Burger King. Burger King won't even hire me!

I looked in the paper and the places I was qualify for wouldn't even interview me. My last of my severance pay from Chanel 6 news paid my rent up to the end of the month. Then I am out on the streets. I had five bucks left to my name. The way this week is going, makes me think what the hell did I do? I'm going to find me a job somewhere. I am now almost out of groceries.

I went to this one joint about three blocks from me. They have a sign up saying help wanted. I realized this could be my last chance for employment. I turned around and went home to get cleaned back up. Sure enough 8 hours later I came home with over $400. I went and jumped in the shower. I never felt so disgusted in my life. Tonight was my first of many disgusting nights I will have to endure. I walk into my bedroom and cry myself to sleep as soon as I lay down.

Leonardo's POV

Raphael has been so quiet and obedient lately. Well obedient to Master, to me just as disrespectful as ever. Only his mood his more sour than normal. He just got home an hour ago and was pissed beyond normal. He came in shoved Michelangelo up against the wall as he passed. Then straight to the meditation mats without anyone telling him. Master Splinter held his hand up and stoPped me from going in. With a quiet shake of his head telling me not to say anything before he walked on. I went to bed only to be awoken by a raucous in the Dojo. I peeped in to see him throwing things all over and what looked like tears beginning to fall.

I walked in to say something and by the time I did he was gone. The battle is in himself yet he is worse at hiding it. I followed him only to stay behind a block or two out of his line of sight. Sure enough he went to April's only she wasn't there. He stayed an hour or two and left. Something must have happened between the two. April hasn't come around or contacted us for a week. Donnie had made her a turtle communicator and she hasn't even used it once. I will ask Master Splinter his wisdom in this. Maybe I should back off and let them be.

Michelangelo's POV

Man my bro Raphael has been tense! I asked him if he was ready to record tonight and he shoves me. Not just any shove I mean a real shove. Maybe I should ask my bro if he wants to chill riding the sewer waves tonight? But when I heard him kicking shell in the dojo I thought better of it. I mean being shoved is one thing but him cracking shell on me is another. My girl April has been down with her bad self with me either. I think I will check on her in a day or two. Right now I have some cravings for some pie. I wonder if Master Splinter has any pizza left.

Unknown POV

I have followed the progress on them for weeks now. Seems our plan to destroy the turtles and that bitch April O Neal is working perfectly. I will make them pay for Master Shredder. What they did to him was pure cowardice. I want to see that bitch pay with her life force. And I will watch her suffer greatly as she sees me dine on Turtle soup and then drink their blood!
