"Seriously she's worried about a stupid paper," I muttered looking at the girl making herself at home on our couch typing on Donnie's laptop. "Well she is in a pretty advanced course and that paper is her final for the class…" Donnie quickly shut up at the glare I gave him.

"Okay guys let's think about this calmly. Donnie, Raph what do you think we should do with her?"

"Hey how come you don't ask me?" All of us ignored Mickey's outburst and continued to brainstorm ideas about what to do with our guest…most of mine were rejected. I'm sure she would enjoy a nice dip in the river or being hung up by her toes or being sent to Mexico in a box...

Mickey was walking sadly away from the group when I looked up. They had obviously excluded him in their discussion of what to do with me.

"Mickey, you can come sit next to me and talk while they 'discuss'."

He looked up at me and then smiled and joined me on the couch.

"Do you like comic books? What television shows do you like? Who's Natalie? How old is Klunk? Do you like pizza?"

"Yes I like comic books though I find them rather short and so prefer manga. I like Karate Kittens, Powder-puff Princesses, and other cartoons. Natalie is my legal guardian while I'm in the United States for school and is an awesome scientist. Klunk is physically five but is actually three months old. No regrettably I don't like pizza though I do enjoy cheesesticks."

"What's manga and how can Klunk only be three months old?"

"Manga is a Japanese form of comic book that is much longer and includes a whole novel. Klunk is from the pet store I got mutated at. She used to be an orange kitten just weaned from her mother. I guess she mutated to the point she would have been at if she was human which was five. She's smart too. Learned how to walk, talk, and other things that take most years to learn in two weeks," I finished looking down on the sleeping Klunk and rubbing her head.

"You sound like her mother," he said watching me with sparkly eyes. "That's because I basically am her mother…plus she's adorable which definitely helps."

He smiled and began telling me his life and introduced me to his toes. He was like any normal boy except nicer and a turtle. "You know naming your toes is slightly unusual, right?"

He looked down obviously downtrodden. "It fits you though and there are plenty of people much weirder though. My dad married my mom after seeing her begging on a street corner."

"So he married your mom after meeting her on a street corner how is that unusual?"

"They got married three hours later." "Really!" he exclaimed with a smile. "Really," I said smiling. He giggled and began asking about my life. His expressions as I told him were all over the place. "That's so sad," he said as tears ran down his face once I had finished. "Hey I wouldn't have met you if it hadn't happened." I looked up to see five faces staring at me from various positions across the room. Master Splinter from where he walked in from the side room I couldn't see into, the boys were they had been brainstorming, and a red haired girl at what I assumed was the entrance. Apparently they had all stopped to listen to my story…great.

I immediately flipped open my cell phone from Mickey as he held it out. "Hello you have reached Mona Lisa's phone please leave a message after the tone. BOOOP"

"Mona Lisa why are you not home yet. It has been three hours since I last called you and you're still not back."

"Well time flies when you're having fun and I finished my paper so I don't see the problem," I answered with a shrug of my shoulders even though she couldn't see me.

"COME HOME NOW!" she roared into the phone.

"Well I have got to go now. It was nice meeting you." I hugged Mickey and whispered my e-mail and phone number into his ear. "Call me if you need anything or just a person to talk too…and don't tell your brothers." I winked to him and quickly left before the others could recall I'm not supposed to know where they live.

"Klunk come on!"

Klunk raced after me and we quickly made it to the surface and back home.

Natalie was tapping her foot inside the front door waiting for me. "Well aren't you going to tell me where you were?"

I hung up my coat and tossed my shoes into the corner.

"You might want to sit down for this."
