(This is what Spike-chan looks like [I drew it] ^^^)
RAPH P.O.V:
"Uughhnn..." I groaned, as I got up from the floor. I had no idea what had happened, but something felt off in my room. I shook my brothers awake and we exited.
"Dudes," Mikey exclaimed, "that was one weird experience! I swear I saw a female turtle in there!" Instead of laughing at Mikey for being stupid, we all agreed with him. "Yeah, Mikey." I replied. "There WAS a turtle chic in there." Suddenly I felt that something was reaally wrong. I charged into my room again and couldn't for the life of me find him."SPIKE!!!!!" I yelled. Now I was panicking. Knowing how much Spike meant to me, my bros quickly started to help me look for him. After about an hour and a half of searching, Mikey gave up. "Dudes," he said, plopping down on my bed, "maybe he went to the kitchen or whatever. You do know that because of, um," At that point he looked at Donnie, "certain events Spike didn't get to eat lunch." For the first time in forever (Haha, no, no Frozen puns) Mikey said something that WASN'T stupid. So, because of that, we all decided to search the lair.
Mikey took the kitchen and the living room, Donnie the lab, Leo the bedrooms, and me, I searched the dojo. When I opened the door, my eyes popped. There was the female turtle, talking and laughing with Master Splinter!"Guys!!" I screeched, causing me to be the centre of attention. "My son," Sensei said, patting the mat beside him. "Come and join us. Isami-chan-" The girl interrupted. "You honestly don't have to say "chan" after you say my name, really, it makes me feel... Important." There was a thin silence. My brothers came rushing in, weapons drawn. When they saw the girl with Splinter, they charged.
I stayed back. For some reason, I didn't want to harm her. I watched as Leo proceeded to roundhouse-kick the girl in the stomach, but at the last second, she ducked, grabbed his leg, and slammed his butt to the mat. Before he could get up, she grabbed both his katanas from his hands and pinned Leo with them through his elbow-pads. I had to give her credit, that was pretty cool.
Donnie advanced. He whirled his bo-staff around and around, trying to hit her wherever he could: arms, legs, head, and neck. She dodged each blow and grabbed the staff with lightning speed. Don noticed that he wasn't holding his staff anymore and turned to face the girl. She studied the staff before twirling it, snapping it in two, and whacking Donnie with both pieces like drums. He hid in his shell, and she kicked him and the broken staff away. Wait a sec, I did that to him once!
Finally, Mikey decided to face her. I turned squeamish there. I didn't like seeing anybody harming Mikey, unless of course, it's me! Mikey spun his chucks in her face, and sweeped her legs out from under her. She fell to the mat, rather hard. Mikey aimed to hit her in the face with his kusarigama chain, but she grabbed the blade, pulled it taut, and used Mike's weight to pull herself up. She hitched a ride on Mikey's back, latched her legs around his neck, and backflipped, bringing him down.
At that point, I got angry. Mikey holding his head and groaning wasn't helping it, either. I launched myself into the battle. When the girl turned to face me, however, she tensed, like she knew me from somewhere. I didn't care at the time. I roared in anger, and barrelled into her. I don't think she expected that, because she flipped over, and I grabbed her in midair and slammed her to the mat. She yelped in pain as I pointed a sai to her throat. My anger was subsiding, but it was still going strong.
"Raphael!" Master Splinter shouted, sending my temper away. I wasn't angry anymore, but I kept the girl pinned. Suddenly, I heard a crack. I looked into the girl's eyes. They really were the same colour as mine... So captivating... Wait, what?! Come on Raph! You don't even know her and you're falling? Even so, my eyes went to her chest. What I saw there shocked me so still that Mikey could push my buttons and not get pummelled. It was a lightning bolt-shaped crack in her plastron. The crack I heard must've come from her shell because when I let her up- still in shock, mind you- the crack in her plastron looked bigger."Spike?" I asked, scared. My brothers looked at me like I had grown two heads. "Seriously, Raph? You think that girl is Spike? And could you help me up?" Leo retorted, still pinned to the ground by his weapons. I made no move to help, so Master Splinter did. "Thanks, Sensei," Leo breathed. "And did you seriously meditate through that whole thing?"
The girl grumbled, and felt her plastron. She hissed when she touched it, and when she pulled her hand away, blood stained her fingers. When I said "Spike", she looked over to me with a cute face. "You're heavy," she remarked. The sound of her voice caused everyone to glare at her and turn hostile. She instantly hid behind Master Splinter. "Spike?" I repeated, and her head poked out from behind Sensei."Yes?" she whispered. "Raph, how is that girl Spike?" Donnie asked. I didn't notice that he had left the dojo. He came back with two icepacks and handed one to Mikey. He immediately put it on his head. Donnie placed his on his shoulder, and sat down next to Leo. I sighed. I guess I had to explain, even if this hadn't happened. "Well," I started, fumbling with my fingers, "when I found Spike, he had a crack in his plastron, like me, and only I knew about it. I guess that's why I keep calling her "Spike", 'cuz she has the same crack. But, I could be wrong, right?"
Nobody answered. After a few minutes of silence, a tiny voice spoke up. "Woah, I was NOT expecting that!" Donnie had said those exact words this morning... Spike was there... "Oh, I'll tell you what happened, Sensei, Donnie made a mess of everything, and almost blew up Spike!" She was quoting us... "What do you want, Leo?!" Events that happened while Spike was there... My bros and I shared a look of realization. Mikey got close to her- Spike, if you can believe it- and cautiously invited her for a hug. Surprisingly, she accepted. I noticed Master Splinter had left us and gone to his room, to meditate, obviously.
We shared about an hour's worth of silence.
Soon, Mikey broke the hug. Turning to face her, he solemnly said, "Dudette, I'm real sorry for attacking you, and nearly cutting your face off. Can we be friends?" Wow. Smooth Mikey. Spike's face lit up a bit. It felt weird calling her Spike now. Everything I knew about him, uh, HER, I now knew was wrong. Mikey was still sitting there, hopeful. She seemed to be thinking. "Sure, why not! It'll be fun!" she chirped, and stood up. Suddenly, she winced, and clutched her plastron.
Donnie was by her side instantly. "You okay?" he questioned, looking at the wound carefully. I suddenly felt a pang of jealousy. Wait? Why would I be jealous? It's not like I like her, right?
RIGHT?!
"I'm going to need to clean that, if you don't mind," Donnie said, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Neh, I don't," Spike said, waving him off. Her attitude was escalating quickly, from what I could tell. "Soooo, SPIKE," Leo said, trying to spark up a conversation, "tell us about yourself. Oh, and how bad was it living in Raph's domain for 10 years?" I whipped my head over to him and punched him in the shoulder, hard. She giggled. I smiled a bit at that. No, Raph, don't start falling, don't start falling!!! "Could we continue this in the lab, please? Oh, and Donatello, you are forgiven."
I laughed a little at Donnie's reaction when she said he was forgiven, plus she said his name. "Uh..." he stuttered. The four of us laughed a lot at that. "Hey," Mikey whispered, but I could still hear. "Are you really Raph's pet?" Spike didn't answer. She pushed open the door to the lab and let Donnie in, but not the rest of us. "Stay," she said firmly, then shut the door. In our faces.
We all looked at each other. Then Mikey screamed, "WHERE'D YA LEARN THOSE SWEET MOVES, BRO?!"
"Ow! Raph! Stop hitting my head!"
"Then stop being stupid."
