There was a weird feeling in the air as Ariel sat on the steps watching the four brothers fight. Casey sitting next to her and April inside the house at the moment. "So...Donnie walked in on ya?" She rolled her eyes and sighed softly, "Yea but I know it was an accident. So it's really not a big deal- meaning it probably should just be left alone." Casey chuckled,"Yea I suppose you're right." Ariel felt her self blanking out she didn't even see Mikey walk up and ask her a question. He repeated her name which finally got her attention. "Huh? What?" She looked up and he gave her a soft pout, "Sorry Mikey I was spacing. What did you ask me?" "The guys and I are going to scout the woods for mutagen and wanted to know if you wanted to go with us?" She glanced at Casey, "What about you and April?" Casey stretched some, "We're gonna go into town again for some more food." More? Didn't they just go last night? Ariel hummed, giving the motion she understood and got up, "Yea I can go with you guys." Mikey cheered and jumped back, "Great! Let's go!" Mikey took her hand again and yanked her forward; making her squeak some. Ariel glanced back at Casey who waved. Yea- going into town for food my ass.
"Hey guys! Ariel said she wanted to join us!" Leo and Raph looked up smiling while Donnie looked away with a soft blush on his cheeks. He was still embarrassed about that morning. Ariel decided not to mention anything about it, knowing it would just make it worse for Donnie in the long run. Plus she needed to remember that she wasn't going to be there much longer- hopefully. Donnie handed each person...or turtle a mutagen tracker. "Donnie you made all these in one night?" Ariel looked over at Donnie who finally looked at her. "Yea. I made these before so it was easy." Ariel nodded, "Oh yea like in Ne-VER MIND I THINK MINES GOING OFF WOW!" She hurried off and rushed through some bushes. Oh god please do NOT let them of heard that. She didn't want them to know she knew of EVERYTHING they had done and gone through. She didn't want them to know they were just a TV show and she was from another world. "I still think I'm asleep..." She sighed softly and heard someone come up behind her; this time being Raph. "Hey did you find some?" Thank you for not asking about what I said. "No I thought it was some but I guess not..." He nodded softly and looked aside, "So what were you saying before? When we were where?" She bit the inside of her cheek. Shit. She had to think quickly. "Um...well...I don't know...if you'd believe me." He folded his arms, "Please. I'm a mutant talking turtle who uses sais. We fight brain robots and-" "And other mutants and shit ya ya I know.." He smirked, "So what's up?"
She took a deep breath, "I'm kinda psychic I guess. I've seen images or visions of you guys with some stuff you've done." His eyes went wide, "Ah! No way! So you're kinda like April? She shook her head, "No I can't I can't activate it like she can. Mine just happens when it wants to." He nodded softly again as the other three turtles came up behind them finally, "Dude! Did you find any?" Mikey bounced around Raph and Ariel. She laughed softly and put her hands on Mikeys shoulders, "No Mikey...calm down." He frowned and whimpered softly, moving away. "Yea I'm not picking anything up- weird how you said yours picked some up..." Donnie gave Ariel a questionable face which Raph picked up on, "Well maybe it was a fluke." Ariel smiled, "Yea could of been" Donnie hummed questionably but nodded. They continued for what felt like three hours, marking trees so they know they went by them. Ariel sat down on a log and rubbed her face, it was blistering outside. Donnie walked over and sat next to her, clearing his throat softly. "Hey...um. I feel like...about this morning...I-" "Hey no its fine. I'm not mad. It was an accident and it could of been anyone that walked in." She shrugged, "Don't beat yourself up over it." He sighed,"It's just Casey kee-" She rolled her eyes, "Screw Casey who cares! Donnie you need to stop letting others walk all over you. Casey? He's nothing? He's a noisy, immature, hockey stick wielding kid." Donnie stared at her and she looked over at him, "And you're a genius." Someone has to give him some positive words. "Who cares if you're a mutant turtle? You're a ninja! You're great with technology and create amazing things! Out of what? Basically nothing." She smiled, "That's not just good. That's outstanding. Amazing. Yea Leo might be leader. Raph might be strong." Ariel put her hand on his shoulder, making him glance at it, "But how would they have found the mutagen? Stayed in contact? Disappear into thin air? Not by themselves. You. You did it all." She could of sworn she saw his eyes well up some but he looked away too quick. "But I have a big fault."
Oh yea she knew. "Don't worry about it. Don't focus on it. That one fault isn't important." That made him a little upset and he turned to glare, "Says you. You don't even know my fault. Who knows maybe its not really a fault but a weakness." She rolled her eyes. "Donnie I've been here two days and I know what your weakness is. April." He froze and looked away sadly, "...am I that obvious?" Ariel frowned and looked away. Yes. "Donnie..." He stood up, "I think I'm going to head back...I think my brothers already went to the farm house." She sighed, "Yea...alright." He looked back, "You coming?" Ariel shook her head gently and handed him the tracker, "Nah...I have a ton of stuff on my mind so I think I'm gonna sit out here for a while." He nodded and slowly turned to head back. Ariel sniffed the air ,"...It smells like rain..."
OKAY! I'm ending it there for a bit sorry! I'm going out for a little. So Another lie from Ariel (Whoops) and some one on one with Ariel and Donnie. He needs so positive words- hopefully he'll get more. Enjoy!
