    when words are underlined then we are on helium. when they are not then we are using our normal voices.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      it was tomorrow afternoon and everyone was setting up for the party. my Mohawk was up, I had on my spider choker, skull earrings, black layered, puffy skirt that went half way to my knees, spider tights, blank tank top, black make up, black ninja mask, and black hoodie with the zipper opened and arms rolled up. my bracelets covered my wrists. my steel toed boots were shined last night. my nose stud was cleaned and a shiny silver. Leo and I were still having some pain but it was better then last night. Shifu was baking the cake. the turtles were putting up the decorations. Splinter and myself were trying to get the banner straight. once we did it fell. "FOR SPARTA!!!" we heard a squeaky voice say. we turned our heads to it and seen Mikey pop a balloon next to Raph. Raph was hanging Balloons but when he heard the pop he was so surprised that he fell off the chair that he was standing on.
    "damn it, Mikey!" Raph complained.
    "oh, come on! its funny. I sound like Al-vin....or I did..." Mikey smiled.
    "and I sound like an angry turtle!"
    "come on, Raph." I said. "have a sense of humor. you don't have to be serous all the time."
    "humor is a serous thing." Mikey was laughing.
    "now that one was lame. you can do better then that!" Donnie complained.
    I snuck over to the tank. Mikey was about to say something until I did the shhhh thing. I took a balloon with helium and breathed in. "don't laugh at me." Mikey was trying to hold it in. "don't laugh at me! don't laugh at me!!!" he was about to lose it. "get in the car! I GOT CANDY BARS!" I got Mikey to laugh and fall. "ha ha! payback for making me lose my concentration! wait... why is it still squeaky?!?" I got the other turtles to laugh. "REVERSE PUB-ERTY....never mind."
    "Tiffany," I looked at Splinter with my ~you cant possibly be mad at this cutie~ look. his face softened and he warmly smiled. works every time. "don't you think you should be helping instead of playing games?" I nodded. "come. we still have to set up the streamers. you can play with Michelangelo later." I followed him. I was standing on a chair putting them up while Splinter handed me the things I needed. as we were hanging them he asked "Tiffany, how do you think you and my sons are getting along?"
    "I think pretty good. I like them. why? did they say something?"
    "oh no. I was asking to see if there was anything to sort out so living here will be easier. they said the same thing. they like you very much. however, I can tell two of them have taken a special shine to you."
    "Raph and Leo?" I asked annoyed.
    "so, you have noticed?"
    "kind of hard not to when everyone says I should pick one to date. can you believe that even an elderly woman said that?"
    "I meant they seem closer. why, do you have feelings for them?"
    "uhhh...as brothers..."
    "I see."
    "why?... they say something?"
    "every conversation with their sensei is sacred." Splinter smiled.
    I looked over to Raph who shouted that all the balloons are up. "hows the tank?" Mikey asked.
    "still 'bout a quarta' full."
    Mikey smiled at me. "sweeeet." I know what he was getting at. I just started cracking up.
    I went into the kitchen, after the streamers were up, to see how the cake was coming along. Leo was helping Donnie make some food and setting up the table that would have the pop and food. Shifu pulled the cake from the oven. it was looking great. it was going to have 2 tiers. since I don't like chocolate that much, the top was going to be vanilla and the bottom chocolate. "what are you doing?" I asked.
    "waiting for the cake to cool." Shifu answered.
    "can I do anything? the streamers are up and Splinter is going to meditate. oh, and the house is all decorated too."
    "if you would help Donatello and Leonardo that would be great."
    I nodded and went to help them. Donnie was making a special dip and Leo was organizing the things on the table. I went to Leo since it looked like Donnie had it covered. "what can I do?" I asked Leo.
    "hm? well, right now I'm just setting up the table."
    "so, you don't-" I said while I started to walk away when he grabbed my arm.
    "can you just stand there and talk to me?" Leo smiled at me.
    "...sure... what do want to talk about?"
    he began to continue what he was doing. "I've been thinking about our time in New York. I never got the opportunity to see you really fight."
    "and?"
    "how about after you fight Raph, you fight me?"
    "alright. but if you want to know how well I did ask Raph."
    "I cant wait." we smiled at each other for a moment until we heard something.
    "Leo and Tiffles sitting in a tree!" Mikey chanted. "K.I.S.S.I.N.G!" Raph then pulled the tails on Mikey's mask making his head snap back.
    "shut it, Mikey, or I'll hit you so hard with the bag of sugar it'll make ya diabetic." Raph growled. he let go of Mikey's mask. Leo and I were trying to avoid looking at each other.
    "I forgot you and Tiffles had something." Mikey laughed. I blushed and started to twitch a little.
    "what'd ya say? me and her are just-"
    "no your not! she slept in your lap, you two held hands, you keep making eyes at her-"
    "Michelangelo!" Splinter interrupted. "you are embarrassing them!" Mikey looked at us. I twitched and Raph was looking away from him with his arms crossed.
    "why do I have to be the only girl here?" I asked.
    "because we were born male." Shifu answered.
    "of course. how could I miss that?"
    "when is your friend coming?"
    "anytime now."
    "who's coming?" Donnie asked.
    "a very special friend. her name is Kitty." Splinter answered. "when you meet her be respectful and try your best not to frighten her. she knows about only Shifu and myself. she has no knowledge of any of you nor what has happened in New York."
    "I don't think they have to worry about scaring her. she knows about you two so seeing four giant turtles shouldn't do much. besides, she likes odd things like this." I informed Splinter.
    "does anyone else know 'bout ya?!?" Raph asked protectively.
    "we don't believe so. there is no need to worry, Raphael." Shifu said.
    "her family?" Raph looked at me and I shook my head. "alright then. but who is to say she wont freak out?"
    "I told you. she likes stuff like this." I reminded Raph.
    "think 'bout it, Tiff. we are talkin' about 4 giant mutant turtles, raised in the sewers of a very populated city with no one knowin', who can do ninjutsu that they learned from a 5ft rat, and has fought a mad scientist, a government agent, mutants, aliens, and a guy named after a kitchen utensil with his army named after a body part! you honestly think she would be perfectly okay with this?"
    "...yep..." I smiled.
    "now, if all the teenagers would please leave the kitchen, I would like to decorate the cake now." Shifu pushed all of us out of the kitchen.
    "I guess we'll be going this way." Leo said as we walked into the main room.
    we were all sitting in the main room. Mikey was playing video games. Splinter was with Shifu in the kitchen. Donnie was on my laptop doing who knows what to it. Leo was reading about katana moves. Raph was sitting on the couch next to me with his arms crossed watching Mikey. I was just watching Mikey play the game too. "I'm about to beat you're high score, Tiffles!" Mikey shouted. a minute later he did it. I was the only who clapped. Mikey went back to the game after taking a bow. all of a sudden Raph tapped my arm. I looked at him and he used his head to motion to my room.
    we walked in my room and Raph closed the door behind me. "Raph, are you okay?"
    "listen, 'bout earlier, my bro is a moron. he doesn't know what he's sayin'."
    "its fine. he was joking around."
    "he stressed ya out to the point your twitch was actin' up. I know ya hate doin' it."
    "don't worry about it. now, what's the real reason that were in here?"
    "out side that very door," he pointed to my door "is crazy! its like Christmas in New York all over again but this time no snow. I thought we could hang out here to get some peace."
    "okay. what do want to do?" to tell you the truth I was a little uncomfortable.
    "ya got a TV in here. why don't we just watch some wrestling?" he sat on my futon and turned on the TV. I stood there for a moment looking at the TV when I heard him say "this is your room. ya wanna sit down?" I walked over and sat on the other end of my futon. I really don't like watching wrestling so I was happy when he couldn't find it. we settled on watching the news. after a few minutes he turned it off. "is it just me or did TV really downgrade? and what's with all these stupid commercials? it shows a bunch of random things until the last second and it always ends up being something that didn't even relate to the rest of it! ticks me off..."
    "we could do something else." I suggested.
    "like what?"
    "talk?"
    "'kay... Leo told me about the helium prank yestaday. what is with ya and that stuff? ya act like Mikey when ya on it."
    "its funny."
    "its scary when Splinter doesn't yell at ya for that kind of crap. if it were any of us turtles, he would have griped at us."
    "well, if you were a girl you could pull off the cutest face ever and get away with stuff more often."
    "ha! all rise for judge mental."
    "you don't think I'm cute?" I fake pouted.
    "what? I do!" he blushed deep red. "I-I-I....never mind." we were quite for a minute until I covered my mouth and yawned quietly. "ya board?"
    "what? no. I guess I'm tired."
    "oh... are ya okay with this, Tiff? I mean, really?"
    "sure, hanging out with you is fun." I smiled.
    he sighed. "that's not what I meant... I mean, with everyone all together?"
    "of course. what would make you think otherwise?"
    "things have been nuts since we got here."
    "they have. but, like I said. it makes life interesting. besides, I begged Splinter to stay."
    "really?" I nodded. "wow..." we were just staring at each other for a moment.
    "I...uh... I think I remember that channel."
    "what?"
    "for wrestling." he turned on the TV and turned it to the channel I told him. I hated it. Raph was complaining over the new wrestlers. I yawned again and tried my best to stay awake. my eyes were really getting heavy. I laid my head back and closed my eyes. I felt my body being pulled over and my head rested on something hard yet fleshy. it was Raph's shoulder. I didn't bother opening my eyes. I was too tired. his arm was around me when I dozed off. I awoke hours later to people snickering. it was Splinter and Donnie. I lifted my head and found out I was laying on Raph's chest who was laying down on the futon with his arms around me still snoring. I blushed a deep red and stood up as fast as I could. "OH MY RABIES, THIS ISNT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!" I shouted. "we were watching TV when we fell asleep. that's it! I swear noth-"
    "I know. I came in here earlier to ask you a question when I seen you two were asleep. I left you both alone." Splinter said. he was smiling warmly.
    "wha..."
    "you told me that you seen him as your brother. I believe you. however, I did not wake you to confront you. I woke you up because someone is at the door."
    I walked out the door. "just be lucky that Mikey wasn't here. he would never live it down." Donnie said.
    I got to the door and asked "who is it?"
    "its Kitty!" I heard a voice say.
    I looked through the peep hole and seen it was her. "hide the boys!" I whispered as high as I could. once the turtles were hidden I let her in.
