Me(coming into lair singing)- HEY...*claps hands two times*... OH*clapping hands*... LET'S GO!

Mikey- Oooh, are we going somewhere? Where to?

Me(changing song)- Oooh...we're going off the rails...of the crazy train...

Raph- l think you can pass for that one...

Me- I'm crazy and l know it *starts beat boxing*

Donnie(oming in)- Hey guys? Has anyone seen what l did with my coffee? l thought l left it in the Shell- Raiser, but l didn't see it...

Me- That was yummy by the way...thanks Donnie...l never felt so ALIVEEEEEE! *jumping up and around, dancing in the lair*

Mikey- Hey Donnie...l think l know where your coffee went...

Donnie- You think?!

Me(singing)- " Somebody call 9-1-1...WOLFJADE fire burning on the dance floor...oh-woah!"

Leo- Since WOLFJADE is currently occupied, why don't you guys enjoy the next chapter, while she gets the caffine out of her system...

Rose POV-

Walking away from Mikey, l breathed a sigh of relief. Akira was a little devil sometimes, but normally l didn't have to worry about other people observing us.

Walking into a huge spacious room that looked empty, l scooped Akira off of my shoulders and began scolding Akira.

'Akira, why do you have to be such a troublemaker? You are going to get me into some serious trouble one of these days'.

Looking up at me , she smiled(yes, she can do that). l could hear her thoughts, and as usual, it was a snarky reply.

'You need to let loose, and not be afraid to stir up a little trouble here and there...that, my friend, is where l come in handy...it's my job to make sure you have balance and fun in your life'.

'l don't recall biting others being good for me' l thought right back. l never won these discussions, but l would be a fool if l didn't try.

She smirked 'No, but it's super fun! Did you see Mikey's face after that? l swear he was gonna lose it...that was priceless!'

I laughed at that. Akira sure did have a way with others- one that was gonna get me creamed, especially if she kept it up with these guys that were big enough to wrangle bulls with ease.

With a heavy sigh, l looked her in the eyes. 'Akira, we need to be on best behavior- these guys are definitely a force to be reckoned with, and they could easily take us both out if they wanted'.

'They won't though...they're too nice...besides...Mikey likes you too much... l think he might ask you to be his mate...'

Needless to say, this completely threw me off guard

"HIS WHAT?!" l shouted, nearly dropping Akira in the process.

'...or his girlfriend...whichever you'd rather be...'

"YOU JUST PULLED THE LAST STRAW...NOW-" l continued shouting until l was cut off by a loud knocking on the door, and a voice outside, which l think was Leo's asked...or rather, demanded rather loudly

"Rose, what's going on I there? Who are you talking to?"

Panicked, l look at Akira, who smirks.

'Well, now you're busted...what's your excuse gonna be?'

'l wouldn't be in this mess if you weren't such a troublemaker, you little terrapin devil' l telepathically shot back

With a pleased smile, she retorted 'proud of it', and looked at me, expecting me to weasel my way out of this without spilling the beans about this...'special gift' l have, which more than often, which at times seemed more of a curse than a blessing.

Frantically, l searched my mind for anything l could use as a cover-up excuse. Well, there was auditions for the school play coming up...at first, scoffed at the idea- after all, with everything that's happened in my life, the last thing l needed in my life was more drama.

Now though, l think l can use this to my advantage.

As the lair door opened, l walked around, gesturing my hands as l spoke some random lines l made up quickly, adding my best English accent, which l'm sure wasn't too great, but l hoped it would be enough to cover this.

With as much bravado as l could muster, l went on.

"Now, l tell you again- don't make me laugh! You and l both know very well that you cower and hide in the slightest threat, whereas l, my cowardly minion, laugh and charge headfirst in the face of danger...fear not my fearful friend, for tonight, we shall dine on the fear of our enemies!"

"Ummm...what are you doing?" l heard a voice ask. l knew it belonged to one of the turtles, and l could also sense that they had all been listening at the door.

Nevertheless, l acted surprised to see them in the room.

"Oh, hi guys...hope you don't mind me rehearsing my lines...our school is having auditions for a play...thought l'd try to give it a shot- always wanted to play a villain."

The guys, who by this time were all in the room, stood silently, staring at me in disbelief. l could have handled it just fine, but when l heard Akira chirping her delighted laughter at my miserable attempt at a cover-up, it set off a furious blush on my already heated face.

At this, they started laughing. As for me, l'm pretty sure my face was turning into the shade a tomato at this point.

"Seriously?! You...a bad guy? Now that l gotta see...l don't even think you could scare a sewer rat!"

'Ooooh...burn!' Akira shot.

'Shut up...you got me into this mess...' l thought back.

'Always happy to help' she ended with a pleased smile, causing me to sigh in exhaustion. Too many things had happened to me, which was beginning to take its full effect on me.

What else can happen?

""Raphael! Leonardo! Michelangelo! Donatello! What is going on in here?!" l heard an elderly, yet authoritive voice demand.

l would have laughed at the expressions on their faces if l didn't see the seriousness of this.

We were busted, and a big voice inside of me said that l had just crossed a point of no return- my life would never be the same.

Me- Well, now the caffeine has kinda worn off, l am exhausted!

Donnie- Serves you right for drinking my coffee! Why would you do that anyway? l thought you hated coffee?

Me- 1- l don't hate coffe...l just don't like it black, but when l add sugar and chocolate it's awesome! ^.^

Leo- ...and the second reason?

Me- lt's awesome to see Donnie get mad...almost cute! ^.^

Donnie- Well, l beg to differ...and you'll find out how bad of an idea that was...

Me(gulps)- Umm...hey guys...can l ask all you awesome reviewers to spare me from Donnie's wrath? At this point, l feel that you guys are my only hope!

Also, lemme know what you all think, and if you have any ideas...l could really use them! ;D
