Friendship:
"Nice place," Leo stated, grabbing one of the books off the shelf and flipping through it, "So... why did you two move up here?"
"I really don't know," Krystal stated, "I mean, mainly to keep an eye on Kat's cousin..."
Kat snorted, "I wanted to move here to get away from the rural life..."
"Why?" Don asked.
"It's all I've ever really known, and I wanted to see what it was like to live in the city," Kat stated, "And Krystal's only here because I wanted someone to come with me, and she was the only one who was kind enough to volunteer."
"Hey, that's what soul sisters are for," Krystal grinned, "are you guys hungry?"
"All we got is pizza," Kat stated.
"Sure…" Don grinned, "If our brother was here he'd probably be... you don't wanna know."
Kat giggled, "I'll fix the plates Krystal."
"M'kay Kat," Krystal grinned as Kat walked into the kitchenette, grabbing four plates, and a pizza box from the counter, and walking back into the room.
"What do you two want to drink?" Krystal stated, "We got soda, and I was about to put the kettle on the stove to make some tea."
"Tea," Leo stated, "and if you want I can give you a hand."
"Aww thanks Leo," she stated smiling a bit walking into the kitchen, Leo close on her heels.
Kat set the pizza and plates on the table, and sat down, "So... what's it like?"
"What's what like?" Don blinked.
"Ya know..." Kat grinned, "to be graceful and all that jazz?"
"It's actually kinda hard," Don said, "and I'm not the biggest expert on it."
"Oh really?" she cocked an eye brow, "Watching you last night I couldn't compare who was more graceful, you or your brother."
Don blushed, "Uh… thanks…"
"No problem," Kat grinned.
"How long have you been rough housing with Kat's cousin?" Leo asked.
"For awhile," Krystal smirked, "Let's just say he and I aren't exactly friends."
"Why?" Leo asked.
"I had to protect my little sis at home, he kept on picking on her," Krystal stated.
"I'm sorry," Leo stated.
"It's no big... she can take care of herself now," Krystal smiled watching as he grabbed the stuff for the tea.
She listened as the water began to simmer, her eyes darting around grabbing a packet of herbal tea. Leo watched in silence, "Where are you from?"
"Pennsylvania," Krystal stated, "Kat's from Georgia."
Leo blinked, "How do you…"
"Like I said, her cousin," Krystal grinned.
"What's Kat's story?" Leo asked, pointing to where his brother and her friend were chattering about something.
"She'll tell you," Krystal stated, "Don't worry…"
She jumped when she heard the kettle whistle, grabbing the tea pot with the packets of tea inside, pouring the hot water into the pot gently watching the steam dance in the air.
"Come on," she grinned, holding the pot and a pot holder and exiting the kitchen. He nodded following.
Dark Don couldn't help but be amused; Darius Dunn ordered them to follow the turtles into their time to wreck time. He knew that the men had the two journals that young Cody Jones didn't here about, but the man didn't tell them anything either.
He realized that no matter what, he and his brothers would be stuck in this time... not that he minded, especially after seeing the blonde girl. The fear that she held in her eyes when that man grabbed her wrist was burned in his memory, and it made him want to curl his tail around her.
He growled when he felt Dark Leo step on his tail, "Watch where you put that thing."
He narrowed his yellow eyes, as he watched his brother went into deep thought. Dark Leo couldn't help but think of the brunette, the way she kicked that one man's butt. Something about her seemed so... he couldn't think of a word, but he wanted her... mainly since he could tell this meant instant friendship between the two turtles that he and his present brother were cloned from.
They looked up, and Dark Don found himself smirking as the blonde girl sat down on the fire escape, and frowned when he saw Don sit next to her, "So... what did you want to show me?"
The girl grinned, pulling out a small object, "Okay, don't laugh... because I suck."
"Suck at what?" he asked.
"Playing the harmonica..." she stated, bringing the instrument to her lips, and playing a bit. She wasn't playing a song or anything, just notes.
"Krystal doesn't know, does she?" Don asked.
"Nope," Kat shook her head, "she only knows I play the clarinet... and trust me, I can play that no better... but at least I can play songs."
The sound of music playing on the roof got the occupants in the small area's attention, "What's that?"
"Krystal must be dancing," Kat stated, "come on, let's check it out."
He couldn't help but nod as she started to climb the fire escape to the roof, Don following her close behind.
"Should we follow brother?" Dark Don smirked.
Dark Leo nodded, his smirk twisted into a psychotic smile.
Krystal swayed her hips to the music as her boom box played the song "Look Through my Eyes" from the Disney movie Brother Bear. She smiled gently, doing a turn, and she stuck her hand out, "Come on Leo, join in on the fun."
He blushed slightly when she sent him a playful wink as she danced towards him, doing a spin and grabbing his arms gently and pulling him with her.
"I can't really dance," Leo stated in an embarrassed tone.
Krystal smiled gently, "I'll teach you."
"You will?" he stated. Krystal grinned, nodding slightly, only to stop when she heard Kat's cell phone ring.
She reached into her jacket pocket, "I must have picked her jacket by mistake."
She pulled out the phone, "Hello?"
"Hello, we're calling to let you know that you're clarinet is ready to be picked up from repairs," a computerized voice stated on the other end.
She glanced to the roof's edge seeing Kat and Don climbing over, "Kat... you need to go pick up you're baby from the repair shop!"
Kat rolled her eyes, "You know that clarinet isn't my baby... but I'll go pick it up anyways."
Krystal held out the cell phone, which Kat took gratefully, shoving it in her pocket, "You wanna come with Don, it's only three blocks down?"
"Okay," Don nodded.
"Krystal, do you and Leo wanna come?" Kat asked with a grin.
"Nah, I'm going to teach Leo how to dance," Krystal stated, "just be careful, because if Lily finds out something happened to you she's going to kill us both."
"She just says that because she loves us," Kat stated.
"Just go," Krystal stated, "and hurry back you two."
Kat nodded, "We will..."
Krystal nearly bursted out into laughter by the look on Kat's face when Don scooped her up bridal style and jumped across the roof, disappearing into the night, "Okay Leo... where should we start?"
Leo just stood there his expression blank, making her sigh, "Okay... maybe we should start with some basic spins, and moving your hips to the beat."
She walked over to her boom box and changed the song to the Jump 5 version of "Roller Coaster Ride," and she began snapping.
"Okay, dancing can either be for fun, or for exercise," Krystal stated, "Well... it's actually both depending on the person."
She moved her hips to the beat a bit, "First you got to find the beat..."
"Okay..." Leo nodded, "Like how?"
"Loosen up," Krystal instructed, "you're too tense."
Leo gulped when she touched his shoulders gently, "Think of something positive... something that you enjoy doing, or someone who is close to you and brings you at peace."
Leo nodded, taking a deep breathe his mind going to whenever he trained... each flowing motion of each kata made him feel at peace...
But he suddenly tensed.
"Leo, is everything okay?"
That voice...
Krystal touched his shoulder gently, squeezing it.
That touch...
He opened his eyes, and glanced at her face, that held a mixture of worry and confusion, but he found himself staring into those brown pools that were her eyes.
Those eyes...
Why did she make him feel like this?
Kat held onto Don, her eyes closed. She's always hated heights, and not having her feet on the ground. At a young age two of her friends who were older, stronger, and bigger then she was would hold her and her friends that were size upside down...
She hated it, and they knew it... but they'd always take advantage of it whenever she was being secretive on more then one occasion... until they finally dropped her on her head, nearly cracking it open, and made it bleed severely. Even though they never did it again, she'd always been afraid to have her feet off of something solid.
"Are you okay?" she shook her head negatively at his question.
He stopped, "Kat..."
She felt her knees trembling as he set her down on her feet, feeling him brush the tears that she didn't know had fallen.
"Sorry..." she whispered.
"Kat, are you okay?" he asked.
She drew in a deep breath, "Are we there yet?"
"All we need to do is go down the fire escape and we're home free," Don stated.
"Okay..." she nodded.
"Kat is there something wrong?" he asked, "Did I scare you?"
She shook her head negatively, "Sorry... a childhood fear was catching up to me."
He nodded; worry etching his features, "Okay... do you want to continue?"
"Yes."
After finding Don setting her on her feet a second time, Kat sighed, "Thanks."
Don nodded and smiled, "I'll be out here."
Kat smiled, nodding and exiting the alley.
"Isn't that sweet, looks like Donatello has found himself a new friend."
He tensed, Not here... they can't be here.
