"Well when I was little I lived with my dad on the bad side of town. It was rough but I was happy. When I was 7 my dad got involved with some risky stuff. One day when I got home the police were at our apartment. My dad had gotten arrested and my neighbor had told the police that there was little girl who lived with him. They took me to the station but I didn't tell them anything. I was sent to a foster home with four other kids. Some stayed for a while. Others came and left within a year. When I was 12 a lady came in looking for a child to adopt. She choose me because at the time I was the only girl. It didn't take me long to realize that Mrs. Georgia had money. At first I was excited but I soon realized that I was just part of her newest campaign. Adopting an orphan was just her gateway to more money. She's never even home."

Cristen sighed and looked up with a smile. "But when I moved in with her I moved to a different district. I guess that's a good thing because I would have never meet April or the rest of you. You have a lovely family."

Master Splinter smiled at her.

"I am glad that my sons have treated you kindly. You have an honest and kind spirit. I think that you and my sons have much to offer each other. You have had a rough childhood but you still persevere with much joy in your heart."

"Soooo...does that mean-"

"You may come visit as much as you would like."

She clasped her hands and jumped up to give him a hug.

"Thank you Master Splinter!" She pulled away embarressed. "Sorry."

"It is fine my child. You should go, I think Raphael might be looking for you."

She got up and ran out of the room turning to bow before she left. When she ran out she saw April and the guys waiting for her.

"So? What did he say?" Asked Raph. She looked down sadly.

"Sorry guys."

"What! You can't be serious." Said Mikey. She then looked up and smiled.

"Sorry, but looks like you guys are stuck with me."

"Yeah." "Alright!" They yelled.

They all gathered in a group hug.

"Sooo." Said Mikey. "How bout that skateboarding session."

"I acually don't know how." She said nervously.

"No biggie." said Mikey. "I'll teach you."

She smiled widely. "Really?"

"Yeah I bet your a natural."

She looked over at Raph. She felt bad for abandoning him. He realized she was asking for permission and sighed. He had wanted to spend more time with her but if she wanted to skate with Mikey...

"Take my board and be careful." He said smirking. She ran up to Raph and jumped up to kiss his cheek. She then dragged Mikey away leaving Don, Raph, and Leo in shock.

"What was that about?" Leo said looking after her. April shrugged.

"She's really affectionate. She was just saying thank you. C'mon Donnie lets see that new invention." She said walking towards the lab. Donnie broke out of his trance and followed April glancing over at Raph before he disappeared. Raph looked over at Leo and saw a smug look on his face.

"You like her...don't you?"

Raph blushed and balled up his fists.

"No! We're just friends!"

"Yeah ok." Leo said walking towards his room. "But if you wanna talk about it I'm always here."

Raph watched Leo walk away and scoffed. Like he would need Leo's help with girls. Not that he needed help at all. He heard Cristen's laughter echo down the sewer.

'I don't like her. She's just a friend.' He thought. His hand reached up to where he had kissed him and he quickly pulled his hand away. He groaned and began hitting and kicking the training dummy. That always helped him clear his head. He then heard another trill of laughter. He gave the dummy one last punch and headed towards his room. The dummy in there was better anyway.

Sorry this is kind of short. Please review, I love your feedback.
