Me: Hai! Cliffie! Lol I'm so mean...

Mikey: You are! That last chapter was so scary!

Raph: Especially that part about Frozen! And Marshmallow!

Me: Very scary. Anyways... back to the story! And shoutout to my bffl who is in Mexico right now! Also this chapter was VERY VERY hard to write so I had to do a last resort thing... hope you don't kill me...

Leo: No comment.

Me: Good. Also some time has skipped since the last chapter... sorry again... and Chloe and Andi have become pretty close friends, but Chloe still doesn't know about the turtles.

Andi POV

The shadow's name: Tequila. She was a small, beautiful sprite-like girl with purple eyes, olive skin, and pitch black hair. She didn't talk. When she laughed, which was not often, it was silently. She was very smart though, and a great go-to person for problems about life and love. Anna told us that Tequila hated her name, so we all called her Kila instead. (Kila is pronounced Kee-la)

Anna – the girl I met in the alleyway. She and Kila stuck together most of the time. Anna told me about how they traveled from London to New York as stowaways. I had asked her several times why they came here, but she wouldn't say. I gave up after a few tries. By the way, only Anna was a mutant. A special species, at that. More about that part later.

The three of us shared my room in the sewers, and tonight was the third night that they slept here. (BTW it's the beginning of Thanksgiving break)

"Look what I bought from the store!" I exclaim, coming into the room. "A clock radio! We're underground so the radio wouldn't normally work but Donnie helped modify the reciever-thingy."

"Yay!" replied Anna from her mattress. We had brought in two extra mattresses, since we didn't have any more bed frames, and covered them with blankets and sheets and pillows. She was sprawled out on hers, and her nose was buried into the 3rd book of Free!, the manga she loved so much.

I set down the radio and plugged it into the wall.

"You pick a station, Kila," I told her. She smiled gratefully, went over, and began to press a few buttons.

I sigh and fall onto my bed, tired out from beginning the day with training, which lasted for an hour and a half, and then going shopping with April (not fun). I glared at the plastic bags full of clothes that I had yet to put away.

-FLASHBACK-

"Ugh, this is too sparkly," I whine as I open the changing room door. April frowns.

"Yeah, not a good look on you," she comments. "Show me the next one."

I sigh and go back into the little room, shutting the door behind me. I take the next dress and change. Before showing April, I observe myself in the mirror. It's a silvery-blue glittery one with long sleeves. The skirt is flowy and layered, and it ends about mid-thigh. I pull open the door to show April.

"GASP! OMG! You have to get that one!" she shrieks. I groan and close the door, expecting a reaction like that.

**END FLASHBACK**

I bury my face in my pillow and sigh. Someone bursts into the room, and I hear Anna shriek. I stay put.

"Andi and Kila, you are coming with me. Master Splinter told me to take you to the dojo to practice meditating," the person says.

"Leo," I grumble into my pillow, but stay motionless.

"Come on Andi," Leo says, frustrated.

I roll off of the bed and onto the floor.

"I'm coming," I tell him.

When we get to the dojo, Leo instructs us to sit in a circle.

"A triangle," I correct.

"Huh?" Leo looks up.

"Triangle... see? Three people... three points... not a circle."

"Whatever," he mutters. "Alright, everyone ready?"

Kila nods, I just close my eyes.

"Go."

I try not to doze off by concentrating on all sounds. I can hear Mikey cheering from the TV room, and Donnie doing something in his lab.

After a few minutes, I start to fall forward from weariness but catch myself at the last moment. Completely bored, I open one eye. Kila is sitting straight in the air, not even twitching. Leo is also sitting perfectly still, not moving. His face is drawn up into a frown of concentration. His eyes are closed, mouth turned up into a cute little pout. I giggle at his expression, then snap my eyes shut and pretend not to have made any noise.

"Andi, please stop laughing, it's interfering with my concentration!" exclaimed Leo. I open both of my eyes and begin to retort but stop when I see his eyes still closed.

"Hmph," I sigh, closing my eyes again. This time, however, I am not able to keep myself from dozing off... and the last thing I hear is someone repriminding me.

"Andi! Andi... not again."

Me: Yeah, Yeah, I know it's short... sorry.

Mikey: BUT she has some good news!

Raph: That's a first.

Me: Your sarcasm is not appreciated.

Raph: That wasn't sarcasm.

Me: SH! Anyways, the good news is that since I am on break I will be able to update more quickly! BTW who has seen Night of the Museum 3? Rami Malek as the Pharaoh's son is HOT! Even though he's 33 and like 15 years older than me ^.^

Leo: No comment.

Me: Good! Aaand... as the British say: Happy Christmas!
