-yesiamweird

May woke up the next morning. She groaned as she noticed the time on the clock. It was 4:39, on a Saturday morning.

She laid there for a while...but then got up finally around 4:50. She felt like running. Even though it was almost 5 in the morning, May had just had a lot on her mind. And she needed to jog it out.

May slipped into a pair of green shorts, and a pink tee-shirt. She also put on her only pair of tennis shoes, and put her hair in a messy ponytail. She was completely silent as she walked to the front of the lair. This time, though, she took the entrance where the shell mobile was kept. She carefully opened the garage and ran as fast as she could where ever her feet took her.

She wasn't very scared running alone in the dark. Sure, it was dangerous, but she ran way too fast, and she had too much on her mind to think about then someone trying to talk to her.

May thought about what had happened last night, and that creepy ninja guy. She thought about the turtles, Master Splinter, Casey and April. She thought about her friends, and school and random stuff that was on her mind. But May really kept on thinking about her mom, dad, and Josh. Running as fast as she could through the wind couldn't even dry her tears.

Just then, May had an idea: she knew that the turtles always jumped from building to building to get to where they wanted to go, and that seemed a lot faster to get where she wanted to go, plus a lot more fun!

She climbed up the stairs to an escape ladder an onto the roof of a building. May walked to the edge and looked down. "It's not that far down..." She half-laughed. She took another look. "Shit, I hope I make it!" She laughed running backwards. She ran forwards to try to jump to the other building. As soon as she reached the ledge, May planted her feet into the ground and sprung up and into the air.

With a hard 'thump' May landed safely onto the building. She smiled. "That's so much FUN!" She giggled running to the next building jumping from one to the other. Eventually she arrived to the spot she wanted to be at. It was a dock on the Hudson River around 5:50. She was waiting for the sunrise.
May shivered and tucked herself into a ball to keep warm still looking out at the morning sky.

'I honestly don't really understand why all of this stuff has happened in my life so far. But I miss you guys...I promise though I will always stay strong through think and thin. I won't give up on my new family!'May yawned as the sun rose to the sky lighting the whole city.

May arrived back at the lair around 7. Master Splinter was the only one up. She tried her hardest to not be seen, but Master Splinter called out her name.

"Hello Miss Gibson, how does this day seem to treat you?" He asked pouring a cup of hot tea.

"Uh...pretty good. Why do you ask?" She nervously replied.

"Just wondering why you are up. You usually sleep in later then my sons."

"Couldn't really sleep. Ya know after I was almost kidnapped..." May started to walk away, but then stopped and faced Splinter. "Uh, Master Splinter?" She asked. He looked up at her sipping the tea. "I was wondering if I could talk to you about something..." He looked up and smiled.

"Um...well. I know this is kind of imposing, and if it is not possible I understand. But anyways...I really think I need to be a bit stronger, and I can already run fast, and I'm really still flexible, but do you think I could possibly take ninjustu lessons from you?" She finished in a soft-spoken/unsure type of voice.

Master Splinter chuckled. "You are correct. You are a very fast runner...and you seem to pick up things very quickly...but I do not want this to interfere with any type of school work that you have..."

"Oh! Don't worry! I wont let it! And if you need me to pay-I can certainly pay you anything you need!"

Master splinter cut her off, "A student should never pay to learn something. I would actually love to teach you, Miss Gibson. I would love to compare what my sons could do to how you progress..." He sipped more of his tea.

"So...kinda like a science experiment? right?" May laughed.

"If you must put it in that way, then yes."

May hugged Splinter. "Thank you sooo much! I promise I will try my hardest!" She smiled, overjoyed. "Now, run along and take a quick nap before my sons awaken..." He pushed her towards the ladder. May hugged him one last time, and then quickly climbed up to Mikey's room and fell asleep.

May woke the next morning by someone tugging on her shoulder. She groaned with closed eyes, "Mikey! Get off of me!" She threw her pillow at him.
"OW! May! It's April actually!" She heard her Aunt yell.

May opened her eyes, "Oops, sorry!" She yaned and stretched in the bed. "Come on and get up lazy bum! We are going to the Farm house today! Hurry though!" April walked out.

May sat up in the bed. Her legs were stiff and numb. She tried to stand, but her legs wouldn't move. May groaned and laid back in the bed. "Damn it!" She sighed and closed her eyes. 'Why do we have to go today? Seriously?' May looked over at the clock, it was 11:02. She had only slept for about 5 more hours.

She yawned again and stood up. "HA HA! I can stand!" She defiantly said. She walked over to her drawer and put on a black peace sign tank top that belonged to Lilly, a pair of blue jean shorts, her sandals, and a red bandana that also was Lilly's. May put on her make up, deodorant, and walked out of the room feeling good.

She saw Casey an April talking in the kitchen, Donny and Leo in the lab, Raph punching his bag but she didn't see where Mikey was.

"BOOOO!" Mikey had jumped out from the side of the room and scared May silly. She had jumped about 5 feet in the air, and to make matters worse, she was on the edge of the second floor. As clumsy as she was, this time didn't prove wrong, May fell and Mikey had no time to catch her due to his laughing attack.

May braced herself for death as she saw the floor of the lair, screaming at the top of her lungs. 'Please, someone catch me!' Just then May's fall broke. She was caught in one of the turtles arms 'Thank god!' She thought as she opened her eyes to see Raph. "Thanks!" She sighed.

"I should have let you fall! It would have save me a hell of a lot of trouble!" He sighed to himself. "You jerk! I heard that!" May hit him on the head.
Raph growled and dropped her. May couldn't breathe at first, she moaned and curled into a ball.

"My son!" Master Splinter yelled from across the room. "Not polite! Now assist Miss Gibson as you should have!" He was not a happy man. All eyes were on Raph now. He growled even more. "Come on blondie..." He picked her back up and on her feet.

May coughed and then smiled. "Thanks..." She walked over to the kitchen. "So are we all ready to go?" Casey asked jingling the keys to the shell mobile in the air.

"I am!" said May.

"Me too!" Mikey jumped down from the second floor walking over to May.

"Michelangelo, I believe you owe May and apology!" Master Splinter hit him across the head with his walking stick.

"OW! Oh, yea. Sorry May!" He sincerely apologized. Then gave her a big bear hug.

"Aww come on! Enough already! Let's go!" Casey pushed the two towards the car. As the group all piled in, May sighed as she sat in the back with Mikey and Leo. Donny and Casey sat in the two font seats. Raph, Master Splinter, and April sat in the 3 navigator seats.

"Hey! Is that a new shirt?" Mikey asked May.

"Huh? Oh, no, this is my friend Lilly's shirt and bandana. She let me borrow it cuz of whole blown-up apartment thing..." She smiled to the left, the side Mikey was on. "What is that?" Leo asked pointing to May's crissed-crossed legs. She had a red cut on the side of her ankle that was long as her middle finger.

"Oh, uh, I guess I must have gotten it when I fell just now...It doesn't hurt though..." She looked at Leo to her right.

"It looks like it does!" Mikey exclaimed. May laughed "Nah, I'm okay!"

She let go of the subject and listened to the rest of the gang talk about random stupid stuff. Sometimes she would chime into the conversation, but usually she kept quiet. Eventually, they made it to the old farm house of Casey's grandmother.

"Sooooo, what exactly are we doing here?" Mikey asked as they piled out of the car. "My sons, we need to have some rest and recooperation!" Master Splinter said.

"Awesome!" Mikey laughed. It was a really pretty day. May would have rathered run out here this morning, but she had already tired her legs. She looked into the forest. "Hey April! I'm going to take a walk!" May insisted. "All right! Just be safe!" She smiled.

"I wanna-" Mikey started, but master Splinter stood in front of him. "No, you must stay here my son! We are training!" He stated.

"But I thought we-" Mikey groaned. May laughed as she disappeared into the woods. It was a very pretty area. There were many different fruit trees located randomly. May stopped at the lonely apple tree. She picked the ripest and biggest apple that was in arms length. As she took a bite a snake slithered past her.

It was poisonous, she could tell by the size and the shape of its eyes. She kept quiet and it moved along. May sighed and threw the apple to the side and continued to walk along the somewhat path. She must have been in the woods for about an hour and a half. She loved nature. It was always different no matter what it was.

May was on the edge of a lake. It was fairly deep just by looking at it. She sat down, threw off her shoes and put her feet in the water. It was cold, but it wasn't a freezing sensation. She laughed as she messed with the little tadpoles in the water. She laid down with her feet still in the water and looked at the clouds. She started to make shapes with them in her head but she suddenly grew tired and closed her eyes. "Ill only close my eyes for a little while" she thought. But she suddenly found her self waking up around sunset. May sat up, her feet were still in the water. She lifted them out and laughed when she saw how pruney they were. She put on her shoes, stood up and walked back to the barn.

As she came out from the woods, she saw the gang sitting around on a picnic blanket talking. Donny was trying to start a fire. "Hey? What going on?" May sat next to Mikey and Master Splinter.

"We were just talking about the Shredder actually!" Leo stated.

May nodded. "Well continue!" She smiled.

The gang talked about the turtles lives and adventures so far. Donny had a fire going, May and April were roasting marshmallows.

"You wanna know the funny part?" Don interrupted the conversation about the Shredder. "There's a funny part?" Raph frowned.

"Well, not 'haha' funny, but kinda ironic. If the Shredder hadn't crashed landed on earth, then the Utroms would have never developed the ooze that mutated us, and if we hadn't been mutated, we would still be pet turtles in some kid's aquarium right now!" Donny smiled.

"Wow..." May thought, lost. "That's really deep!" Mikey smacked his head.

"Blegh! Being that closely related to the Shredder makes me feel kinda...dirty..." Raph said.

"Hmm...The shredder may have been a part in our creation, but we choose our fate." Master Splinter cut in.

"And even if the Shredder is still out there, no matter what he throws at us, or how much he messes with our lives he can't change the most important thing. That we are family!" Leo smiled to everyone. It was night fall by now. May had been listening very carefully to what each of the turtles had to say. But she was hungry just then and took a bite of her triple deck smore she had created.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Whoa Leo, that was off the charts on the sapp-o-meter! You have been watching too many after school specials, bro!" Mikey laughed at his older brother.

May giggled under her breath. It was kinda cheesy, but it was true.

"Just shut up and eat ya smores, Mikey!" Raph yelled. Mikey threw a marshmallow at him and it landed on his big nose. Everyone started to laugh.

"You are so dead!" Raph stood up and charged for Mikey.

"Hey! Watch the graham crackers!" Leo yelled at Raph, but it was too late, he had already stepped on them.

Raph and Mikey had started to wrestle, then Leo and Donny joined in. Casey stood up, "PILE ON!" and jumped on top of the group.

May just laughed and laughed. "God, do you think we will ever teach them some manners?" April sighed to Splinter.

"Miss O'Neil, teaching them the ancient art on ninjustu is hard enough! Not even I can work miracles!" He responded.
May watched them continue to fight and eventually they stopped. "You guys are crazy!" She walked over to their almost lifeless bodies and helped Donny up.

"Okay, so...when are we leaving?" Donny asked dazed and confused. May giggled. "Now, April, Splinter and I got everything packed." She helped him walk to the shell mobile. Casey groaned. "Uh, April? Your gonna have to drive..." He walked to passenger seat and passed out. The boys made their way to the shell mobile and they took off. May got to sit in a navigator seat, luckily. Master splinter did as well.

She laughed at the sight of all four of the boys passed out in the back of the car all on top of one another. "They are a real handful huh, Master Splinter?" She laughed.

"Oh yes...It makes me feel tingly inside when they actually prove themselves in battle..." He sighed. May just laughed harder. "Well I think they are amazing! You should be proud of them...besides they are just being boys half the time!"

Master splinter nodded. The drive this time was quiet. Something that May wasn't used to, recently.

She decided she didn't like it...

It was Sunday. May was up since 10, trying to finish her makeup work that she had to catch up on. She had one last assignment and once she would be done, she was complete!

She stopped writing and closed her book. "Finally! I am done!" She squealed and jumped up and down. She put away her books and threw her book bag on her shoulder.

"Great job May!" Donny smiled. "I couldn't have done it without you!" She gave Donny a hug and a kiss on the check. As she walked to the ladder to her room Mikey blocked the ladder. "Don't I get a kiss too?" He smirked.

"Why? You didn't do anything!" May laughed and pushed him aside. "Yes-huh! I was cheering you on from the sidelines!" He responded.

"More like cheering you on while playing video games!" Donny outsmarted him. May couldn't help but laugh.

"He's right you know?" She patted him on the head and climbed the ladder to Mikey's room and threw her stuff down. It was only 4:28... 'Ha...only!' She thought to herself wondering what in the world she was going to do.

"Well, Anna is at her grandma's this weekend...Lilly's brother has some kinda performance tonight...and Kala is in trouble...what the shell am I gonna do?" May smacked herself in the head. "I can't believe I just said 'Shell!' I'm becoming one of them-" May then had an idea.

She took out her phone and called the movie theater. "Perfect!" She said hanging it up and walking back down. "Hey guys?" She yelled. The turtles all looked in her direction. "What's going on?" She smiled from ear to ear.

They all looked at her funny. "Nothing much?" Mikey stammered.

"Why do you ask?" Leo questioned. The boys walked up to her.

"Well, I have a great idea! That is, if you guys aren't doing anything!" She smiled.

"If it has anything to do with saving you, count me out." Raph smarted her. May stuck her tongue out at him. "No! I was wondering if you all would like to go see a movie with me! There is this movie I really wanna go see! It's a comedy/action flick! But anyways, there's a showing at 5:15! Wanna come?"

"Shell YEA!" Mikey was the first to answer.

"I'm game!" Raph agreed.

"Why not?" Donny smiled.

"I don't know..." Leo stammered.

"Awww! Come on bro! We have never been to the movies before!" Mikey begged.

"Exactly! I'm not so sure if it's some place that we wanna be caught in!" Leo replied.

"Leo." May looked at him sternly. "You need to relax and stop acting like an adult!" She dissed him.

"Sorry. It's my job as the big brother!"

"But you need to learn to have fun every once and a while. Besides. They are coming whether you like it or not! I'd advise you to come and rule over them if you believe that they will get themselves caught." She dissed once more.

Leo sighed. "I guess you're right..." May laughed. "Come on guys! Put on some disguises and meet me right back!" May ran back up to her room.
She wanted to look nice for this, after all. She never hardly got to dress up! But she didn't want to make it look like a date-friendly knida thing.

She put on a pair of nice blue jeans, a cute pink tee-shirt, her hair up in a half ponytail, and some nice eye make up on.

She came back down to see her green friends actually look like humans. It was weird. She couldn't tell who was who."Okay you guys ready?" She asked. They all nodded. "All righty! April we will be back before nine!" She waved as April waved back.

"I hope master splinter meditates the whole time we are gone!" Leo stated worried as May hit him. "Ow! What was that for?" They all walked out into the sewer pipes.

"Last one to the man-hole hatched from a rotten egg!" Mikey challenged running. Raph ran behind him followed by Donny, May, and Leo. Raph was the first to arrive at the man-hole, then Mikey and the other two turtles. May was the last one.

"HA! You hatched from a rotten eggggggg!" Mikey sang. May smacked him on the back of the head. "Yea, because I was soooo hatched huh?" She laughed. They all climbed up and walked through the alley way to the theater.

"Wow! This place is really cool!" Mikey smiled looking at the ticket booth. "I'll go and get the tickets. Stay here!" She pointed at the ground as if they were dogs. Mikey barked.

Something didn't feel right...May felt like she was being watched or followed...she shrugged it offand bought five tickets to the show and then waved for them to come in. Once they were all inside Mikey started to drool. "Oh My GOD! Look at all the delicious fooooooood!" He screamed under his breath.

"Come on you guys. We'll find some seats first. Then I'll get the popcorn and snacks!" May pushed Mikey along. They seated themselves, May in the middle, Mikey on her right, Raph on her left. Leo next to Raph (Which was also near the entrance) and Donny next to mike. May hopped over the seats in front of them; luckily no one was at this 3 week old movie.

She came back with two jumbo sized popcorns, two sodas and three empty cups, and four boxes of gummy worms.

"You guys better love me for this!" She whispered handing them the food. She sat and evenly poured the sodas into the empty cups and divided them to each of the guys and herself.

"May! You didn't get enough gummy worms for you!" Mikey noticed already eating his own pack. May giggled. "I didn't have enough money. I wanted to give you guys a full experience!" The turtles started to tense up. The movie began and Raph nudged May.

"Hey...Thanks..." He whispered. May smiled "No prob! Hey do feel like we are being followed though?" She asked.

"No. Why?" Raph whispered.

"I just have a weird feeling when I was buying tickets, and when I went just now to get food..." She stated.

"Well don't worry. I- I mean, we got your back!" Raph kept his voice fairly quiet.

She nodded and took a sip of her drink as the movie began.

The gang left the movies laughing.

"That was really funny!" Donny said catching his breath.

"Yea remember that part where the dude-" Mikey started but May was nudged by Leo.

"Hey. Thanks for tonight...We needed it!" He whispered.

May smiled. "Well, if you weren't so much of a worry-wart, paranoid mutant, then maybe we could do this a lot more often...that is whenever I save up my money!" She giggled.

"Hey May what was that actor's name again?" Raph asked.

"Oh...I forget! But aren't you guys glad I suggested this? That was one of the funniest movies I've-" May stopped as she felt a pain through the back of her head. She stopped walking and clenched the spot with her left hand, her right hand held her purse. May felt something wet on her fingers, it was blood. She and the rest of the boys turned around.

May gasped, jumping slightly, and dropping her purse.

"Good to see you again, bitch!" Said the attacker. May just stood there with her guys at her side.

'Shit…'

Who could it be? Dun dun DAAAA!
