"Woah" I gaped what felt like the hundredth time at the arts no-beauties crafted with immense devotion made by the turtle enthusiasts wanting nothing more than to robe this place. I already had gotten in a fight to get a Leonardo stuffie from a lady even though I was kicked out with a warning but it was worth it.

"They are cool." Spoke someone behind me.

I turned around to see a red-haired girl looking about my age wearing a kunoichi dress with a mask covering most of her face.

"Cool? They are just the best! I feel like robbing this store" I replied holding my L.J. cage near to my chest with my bag hanging off my shoulders.

"Oh? And why do you think so?" she questioned me. She paused

"Let me guess you find them hot."

"No! I mean yes but there are many other reasons too." I don't know why I felt the need to defend them but I just did. "They are heroes, brothers and despite being so different in their thoughts and personalities, they work together as a team and trust each other with their lives. They never gave up no matter what. And because they are lean, mean, and green baby!"

"Hmm. What do you think of April then?" It felt like an interrogation but I ignored the nagging in the back of my head.

"To be blunt she's a jerk. I mean playing with poor Donnie's feelings like that. Who does that?" I answered feeling agitated by just thinking of her. I saw her lips twitch upwards for a fraction of a second.

"You know you are a bit weird." She spoke after a few seconds. Okaay "If I met someone who just starts asking me questions like that I might have simply ignored them.

"I am not a weirdo, the world too boring to understand a gal like me." I retort with L.J staring up at me. Aww, he's too cute.

"Well, nice to meet you I am Kiara." She said offering me her hand.

"Nice indeed I am Airini by the way." I chirped shaking her hand. Girl, she has a heck of a grip!

"Soo, did you enroll for the luck draw yet for the ultimate prize?"

"WHAT! THERE'S A LUCKY DRAW TOO?" I shrieked getting the attention of a few others who looked at me disapprovingly.

I blushed under their bored gazes. "Sorry. So uh you were saying?" I said keeping my fangirliness at bay.

Giggling, she answered, "Don't worry my fellow fan let me guide you to it." And motioned me to follow her.

Walking for what seemed like forever she finally stopped before the stall which read

"A ride of my life" I read out loud holding my turtle cage as I shifted my weight on my legs.

"Yes, it is." Said a lifeless monotonous voice behind me.

I yelped and turned out around taking a defensive position and almost raised my one hand curling it into a fist and balancing the cage in the other when,

"Uncle! Stop scaring her." Kiara scolded the man dressed in black almost resembling kraang from the series the only thing different being his normal way of speaking.

"Krang is sorry for kraang's behavior." Never mind what I said.

Kiara punched her Kraang-er-uncle on the shoulder muttering something about her uncle being annoying.

I cleared my throat bringing their attention back to me. Feeling their eyes on me I introduced myself,

"Hi! I am Arini Sharma. Nice to meet you, Sir."

"Well, then it is nice you too Ari. You can call me Ben if you like" He greeted me with a warm smile.

"And Arini here is to enter the contest!" Kiara quipped putting hands on her hips.

"Oh is she now." Ben seemed to have a silent conversation with Kiara. Dude are they werewolves? Are they Jedi perhaps?

"Nah maybe you're just stupid." Interjected mini me as annoyingly as always

Dully ignored, I replied

"…"

"Arini why don't you follow us for a minute." Ben finally said.

I followed them into the tent but I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. Call it intuition or something but me

being me ignored it again.

I stared at the fancy fake equipment hanging around with an awed expression not noticing them speak as they stole glances at me.

"Okay Arini. Let me be frank with you." Ben said putting up on a serious with. Is he gonna murder me? Do they know about that fight I had? Am I going to jail? Oh god!

"What would you do let's say if you were to be sent to your 'TMNT Universe' what would you do?"

I remained stunned for a second or two then only to burst out laughing. My laugh dies when I realized he wasn't joking.

"Wait, are you serious?" all I got in answer was silence as he waited for my reply.

"If I ever went to 'TMNT WORLD' I would help the turtles in any way I could and would learn Ninjutsu. And probably kick shredder's butt and make a few joked about it." He smiled at my humor. "On top of it all, I will help them realize that they are not monsters the world sees them as." And yes I air quoted.

He stared at me and I stared at him. He seemed to be trying to figure something out. When he opened his mouth what came next was out of context.

"Congratulations you have won the lottery!" he exclaimed looking relieved?

"Thank yo- wait what?"

He took a remote out of his pocket and pressed a red button on it.

"What are you doiiiiiiiingggggggg" And before I know the floor beneath me and I screamed like a bloody banshee. Through my endless dark fall, I felt something hit my head and I blacked out.

Funny how world is, like one minute I was having a day like any normal Fangirl would have. And next moment I went down the rabbit hole-ish thingy. And now I was looking at Shredder dancing in a tutu making me regret my life choices and Tiger-claw singing Bad romance to the ninja robot audience who screamed for an encore. I don't know what to even say.

L.O.L (Lots of love)

Arini Sharma

P.S:- I know what L.O.L stands for, so don't try to correct me.
