Chapter 2

First person POV

I sat in my limo quietly, focusing on beating the level on my Nintendo 3DS. I could hear my mum talking to me. "You did very well, I know how much you hate the stage but you handled it nicely."

"Uh-huh." I replied bluntly, too busy focusing on the game in front of me.

My father chuckled, "I bet the only thing that kept her stable was the thought of going back to those games of yours. You are obsessed."

I smirked, "Come on it could be worse...I could be addicted to drugs."

"How about taking up another hobby? Like singing, I could pay for you to have some lessons..."

"No thanks. I have stage fright as it is, besides...not my thing." I interrupted mum before she could suggest anything else.

I focused all my attention onto my game as my parents discussed publicity and other boring stuff. We pulled up to our new mansion as we would now be living in America instead of hiding in England. The mansion was big...to say the least. My mum loved showing off and this was no exception, this place that so many rooms I had lost count. The large pillars had vines intertwined around it, the cobblestone driveway had bright flowers and lanterns surrounding the front garden. As soon as the limo stopped I ran straight for my room, quickly getting changed into running gear.

Ugh I have been waiting to scout out New York, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I grabbed a bottle of water, earphones and my trainers before making my way to the window.

Two familiar voices stopped my departure. "Where are you going at this time? It's getting late." My mother asked, worried.

I turned to her and smiled, "I'll be fine, I really need to run my legs feel stiffer than a wooden board."

Father held my mum's shoulder lovingly, "She knows to keep safe, I'm sure she'll be fine dear. But please Juliet, be home before midnight." I nodded and made my way out of my window, jumping to the ground below and running out of the house.


I had made my way into the city, which seemed to have calmed down from today's events. Lucky for me it was dark so I could blend in with the shadows easily. I found a fire escape and climbed up the ladder, making my way to the rooftops. Training in martial arts from a young age had made me flexible and improved my stamina a lot. I leaped from roof to roof until I stopped suddenly to drink my water. As I started drinking I noticed 4 figures on a nearby rooftop.

How odd...no one else should be up here. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.

As quietly as I could I leaped over to the rooftop to examine these people carefully. I say people but they were nothing like people. Each one had green skin, different shades from what I gathered. Each one also wore bandanas over their eyes; red, blue, orange and purple. I could also see weapons on each one of them; two katanas, a bo staff, 2 sais and 2 nun-chucks. Although they were talking I didn't pay attention, I couldn't believe what I was seeing in front of me. And yet...something about them doesn't make me feel scared.

"Hey! Who's there?!" I heard the one with the red bandana yell towards my direction.

Time to go!

As fast as I could I started running, leaping back the way I came...but these guys were fast too. Quickly catching up with me.

Shit, I need to lose these guys.

I never got that chance as I ran into one of them without realising it. He must of caught up and stood in front of my path. I stumbled backwards as the other three surrounded me.

The one with the blue bandana asked, "Who are you? Why were you watching us?"

I don't think they can see me...it is quite dark.

I opened my mouth to speak, "Look. I'm sorry if I frightened you or something, but can you blame me? You're talking turtles for crying out loud! Who wouldn't be curious?"

Another turtle, with the purple bandana, spoke "She has a point. I think the real question is why aren't you freaking out?"

"To be honest...I have no idea. I think it could be all the video games I play, they have made me immune to seeing strange things." I replied, jokingly.

The blue banded turtle spoke up, "Well. For the record my name is Leonardo, these are my brothers; Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo."

I stepped out from the darkness, feeling obligated to as they introduced themselves to me. "I'm Juliet. Nice to meet you."


Turtle POV

The turtles couldn't believe what they were seeing. That girl from TV was here, on the rooftop in the middle of the night, talking to them like they were normal human beings.

Whilst Leo, Donnie and Raph stood slightly dumbfounded Mikey jumped in glee. "You're a real celebrity! This is awesome! Do you get free food all the time? Will you sign my comics? And you play games? What games do you play?"

Juliet chuckled, "My, you're energetic. To answer your questions, no not always, yes I will, yes I do and I mainly play RPG's."

Mikey smiled in joy, "You're so cool! Wanna come over and play some games with me? I just got the new Super Smash Bro's game!"

Before Juliet could answer Leo had smacked Mikey at he back of the head, "Hey shell-for-brains! Master Splinter would kill us! Besides I doubt she would..."

"Actually I would love to." Juliet answered.

The turtles were, once again, in pure shock. No human, not even their human friends had accepted them to willingly.

Juliet suddenly looked at her watch. "Aww crap it's almost midnight. Listen boys, I'm afraid Cinderella has to leave this party now but I would like to see you guys again. Meet me on this roof tomorrow night at 10pm."

And as fast as she stated that she had started running away, presumably to her home.

Mikey was the first to speak, "Oh I think I'm in love!"

Raph sighed, "You moron. Get a grip."

"Come on guys, lets head home." Leo stated, leading his brothers quietly back to the sewers.


First person POV

It was just past midnight when I quietly entered my bedroom. I stripped out of my clothes and not even bothering to put pajamas on, I crawled into bed.

Oh man that was cool! This is like an anime or something! I hope I didn't imagine all that...no no that felt all too real it must be true. At any rate tomorrow night I'll know for sure if they're real or not.

As quickly as the thoughts rushed through my head, a heavy wave of drowsiness hit me hard which caused me to fall asleep almost instantly.
