Here is chapter 17! I don't own TMNT.

Kayla's POV

The boys were getting to the part where Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo save Donny from the Triceriton leader when Astrid ran into the room with Leonardo behind her. I looked at Astrid surprised; she was supposed to be meditating. The glint of the plate I left for Leonardo caught my eye and I understood that she got hungry. Amber and Jade groaned at the interruption, I was a little relieved. I didn't like hearing about bad things happening to Donny.

"What is it Astrid?" I asked turning to see her better.

"I just had an amazing idea!" Astrid announced. We waited for her to start but she seemed to be waiting for us.

"And this idea is?" Jade prompted.

"Well Leo said he wanted to just talk to Harley instead of her waking up so I thought we can talk to her!" she explained. We all looked at her as if she were crazy.

"What? How?" Amber voiced my thoughts. Astrid rolled her eyes and looked at me.

"Your mental connection," she said. My eyes widened, I hadn't thought about that. I looked warily at Astrid.

"It might not work," I told her. "I don't want to get your hopes up if it doesn't," Astrid eagerly nodded.

"Don't worry I won't," she was lying; I could see it in her eyes.

I nodded and moved from my place next to Donny onto the floor. Crossing my legs I closed my eyes and took deep breaths. Secretly I hoped it would work as much as Astrid did. I could feel the tension pressing in on me. Sighing exasperatedly I left for the bridge across the lake. Once there and sure no one followed me I relaxed and called forth the door with Harley's name on it. When I walked through it all I saw was mist. I walked forward looking for Harley. After fruitlessly searching I called out for her.

Harley! No answer. Harley it's me Kayla! Come out! Still no answer. Marco! I called in a last attempt.

Polo! A small voice answered happily. I ran to the source and saw a six year old Harley giggling. I reached out to touch her but another voice stopped me. I wouldn't do that if I were you. I whipped around to see Harley.

Harley? I asked uncertainly, it didn't sound like her.

No Im intelligence. The Harley said obnoxiously. I was getting freaked out.

What? Intelligence rolled her eyes.

I am a part of Harley, the intelligent one. She explained slowly.

Can you take me to the real Harley? I asked.

Not like I have anything better to do. I followed intelligence farther into the mist. The giggling Harley followed us. After a little bit intelligence seemed to notice the little Harley. What are you doing virginity? Intelligence asked.

She is obviously following you, jeez Intelligence I thought you would be more…intelligent. A snarky voice answered. Intelligence spun around.

More intelligent than you Attitude! Intelligence shouted. Intelligence and Attitude started yelling at each other. Virginity started to cry loudly, before I could do anything a softer voice cut through the mist as another Harley appeared.

Stop it you guys! You're making Virginity cry! You really should be nicer to each other. The new Harley said.

No one cares Love! Attitude yelled.

Actually a lot of people care. Another Harley stepped out.

Shut up Logic! Attitude yelled again.

Don't talk to my friend like that! Intelligence yelled at Attitude.

Oh I love a good fight! Yet another Harley appeared.

Please stop fighting! Love said. Everyone ignored her and kept on yelling at each other. Virginity cried harder.

Of course everyone is fighting. A Harley appeared with tears flowing down her face.

No Sadness don't think that way! Love pleaded.

Ya not everything is as gloomy as you make it out to be. A Harley hugged Sadness.

Thank you Kindness! Love trilled. I grasped my head as an overwhelming headache consumed me. It was all too much.

SHUT UP! A voice shouted over all the others. STOP FIGHTING AND SEPARATE. NOW! All the Harleys scurried off in different directions. I looked up to see Harley, the real one seething in front of me.

Harley? I asked uncertainly.

Kayla? What the hell are you doing here! Harley looked pissed, shit.

Well I was sent on a mission to talk to you. I explained.

Who sent you? She demanded.

Astrid. Harley's expression softened.

Follow me; it will be easier to talk without PRYING EARS! She yelled the last part.

Only then did I notice all the Harleys watching us. They retracted some but did not leave; they were all staring at me curiously. It was seriously creepy seeing all of these Harleys and yet they weren't the real Harley. Was my sister crazy? Or was this how most minds were? My head ache became stronger the more I thought about it. I slowly nodded and followed my younger sister deeper into her mind.

Donatello's POV

Kayla left to go talk to Harley on the bridge. Astrid was practically bouncing where she sat. Her enthusiasm seemed to be filling the room and affecting everyone. We sat silent for a couple of minutes when Amber asked us to continue the story. It sounded better when Leo told it anyways. Everyone was too involved in the story to notice how much time had passed. I looked out one of the large windows, it was dark out and Kayla hadn't come back yet. I stood up and everybody looked at me.

"Im just going to check on Kayla," I said.

Everyone nodded and I walked out onto the platform outside the large room. The night was peaceful but certainly not quiet. Night animals called through the darkness. It was truly beautiful, why didn't we live here? I jumped down and walked casually over to the lake. Kayla was sitting cross legged in the middle of the bridge with her head bowed. I sat behind her and decided to wait until she woke up. Soon after I fell asleep.

Kayla's POV

I followed Harley deeper into the mist. It swirled and moved along with us. When Harley reached where ever we were going the mist parted to reveal large wooden doors. I stared at the doors in awe. How did I not see these? Harley chuckled at my face and led the way through them. We appeared on a platform above a beautiful rainforest surrounding a waterfall.

H-how did you find this place? I asked.

It's my mind I can make it whatever I want. Harley replied sitting on the edge of the platform.

What was going on with the-er-other Harleys?

Oh that's just how I see different parts of me. Each emotion is its own person in my mind. Harley shrugged. So Astrid sent you? She said.

Ya she didn't take you being gone to well. I replied. Harley hung her head.

I know that now that Astrid is with us I can't just disappear like I normally do. She said. I nodded.

You are the only one she trusts and the one she needs. I told her.

I know it's just Im not sure that I can face Leo after what he saw. Harley confessed. I shook my head in disagreement.

He saw who you were and it's a little scary the first time. It was for all for us, he is actually here. He wants to apologize; he regrets the way he acted. I told her, her eyes widened.

Really? She asked disbelieving.

He loves you. I said.I stood up. I should go back, but, you should wake up soon. Life is not as scary as you think it is. Harley nodded.

I'll show you out. I nodded and followed Harley back out the large wooden doors. Once we were at the glass door she turned to me. I will come out soon, I promise. I smiled and we hugged. When I pulled away something ran into me and hugged my legs. I looked down and saw Virginity. I patted her head and when she let go Love tackled me to the ground.

Harley? Help? Harley just laughed.

You're their sister too. I'll see you later. She walked away.

After I finally hugged all of Harley's emotions, Sadness cried on my shoulder for a couple of minutes, I walked back through the glass door. I woke up back in my body that was aching from my position. I looked around with tired eyes, the sun had set and the lake glowed. Bioluminescent Algae, it was beautiful. I turned around and saw Donny had fallen asleep against the railing. I crawled over and leaned against his chest. His arms surrounded me and he kissed the top of my head.

"Welcome back," he murmured. I chuckled and fell asleep against him.

I was sleeping quite peacefully. I couldn't stop thinking about how Harley's mind was and if I was like that. I felt Donny breathing slowly underneath me. Im happy Harley saved me from Shredder, happy she was so stubborn to bring me to meet Donny. The sun started to shine through my eyelids and I opened them a little yawning. I sat up when something jumped onto me and I was slammed onto my shell.

"Holy shit!" I yelled and saw Astrid sitting on my stomach.

"What what happened?!" Donny yelled fully awake.

"Did you talk to her?!" Astrid called happily.

"Yes I did," I said.

"What did she say?! Is she waking up?!" Astrid yelled at me.

"She said she will soon," I replied.

Astrid smiled hugely before jumping off me and flipping to the tree house. I rested my head on the bridge while Donny chuckled. I looked at him and sat up.

"What?" I asked, he shook his head.

"It's just funny how excited Astrid is," he explained. I laughed and stood up.

"Come on," I offered him my hand and we left for the house.

We climbed the rope ladder that led to the kitchen. I looked towards the living room and saw Astrid bouncing around and everyone else waking up grumbling. I laughed at them and started on breakfast. We all sat on the balconies eating eggs and bacon and making small conversation. Astrid ate really fast and ran to wait for Harley. I looked to my left at Leo who was eating silently.

"I thought you would be like Astrid," I commented elbowing him.

"Im not sure I would be the first person Harley would want to see," He replied.

"I think you would be the only person she would want to see," I disagreed.

"Did she tell you that?" Amber chimed in.

"No but I could see it in her face," I replied.

"You actually saw her? What was it like in her mind?" Jade asked. I shivered a little.

"I don't think it's my place to tell," I said. Donny rubbed my arm comfortingly.

"HARLEYYYY!" the scream split the calm forest followed by a splash. We put our plates in the kitchen and I grabbed two towels. I gave one to Leo; he raised his eyebrows at me. I shrugged and we made our way to the lake.

Okay so I know the whole emotion Harley thing is weird and if you don't like it... suck it up! It's only in one more chapter and then will never be mentioned again. Besides that R&R!
