"haijme!" splinter called out to the four turtles, who began to spar/ fight.

aleiya sat on that matts beside april and watched the four spar. aleiya couldn't seem to take her eyes off raphael and his glorious form.

"why don't you spar?" april asked, snapping aleiya out of her trance.

"i'm scared i'll accidentally hurt them with my powers" aleiya responded as she looked to april. "i have random outbursts and i would never forgive myself if i accidentally burnt them or accidentally slammed them into the wall with my powers"

april nodded. "makes sense.. so, do you like any of them?" april gave a playful smile and nudged her shoulder.

"ewww noooo their like my brothers" aleiya cringed. to be honest, donnie mikey and leo are like brothers... raphael on the other hand.. not so much.

"oh come onnnn you have to like one of them" april giggled. the two girls were now facing each other and so wrapped up in girl talk that they weren't paying attention to the boys fighting.

aleiya smiled and looked away, giving away her secret crush.

"tell me!!" april said as she playfully hit aleiyas knee. "i promise i won't tell"

"ughhhh" aleiya groaned. "if you tell anyone i'll say you on fire"

"i promise i won't"

"...fine" aleiya said as she gave in and gestured for april to scoot closer. aleiya then leaned in and whispered raphael's name into her ear.

"oh my gosh!!" april squealed. "awww, you guys would be so cute!"

"you think so?" aleiya asked. "i mean, i really like him but i'm scared to start a conversation with him because if i embarrass myself i would actually never show my face again"

"oh c'mon, you won't embarrass yourself! you should get a conversation with him and get to know your future man" april smiled.

"yeah, but-" aleiya started but was interrupted by something flying past the two females faces and hit the wall. april and aleiya both turned to face the turtles and saw mikey nervously smiling.

"sorry guys, that- that was my bad" he nervously scratched the back of his head.

"mikey why are you throwing things?" aleiya asked as she threw the thing back at mikey. she then turned back to april and they continued their conversation.

an hour later after the turtles had finished their morning training, aleiya and april jumped off the matts and walked over to them.

"y'know, a little drool might've fallen from your mouth" raphael said as he smirked at aleiya.

aleiyas heart dropped.. had he seen her staring? did she really make it that obvious?

"whatttt...?" aleiya said as she tried to play it cool.

raph laughed a little. "the matts are fifteen feet from where we train, don't worry your cute too" he smirked and winked as he left the room, leaving aleiya baffled.

did he seriously just call her cute? there was no way, was the universe finally on her side? this seemed way to good to be true.

"someone has a crush" aleiya heard leo's voice from behind her, causing her to jump.

"jesus leo" she said as she put her hand on her chest. "wait what?"

"aleiya" leo raised an eyebrow. "you like my brother"

"....no- no i don't" aleiya tried to lie, but truth be told she wasn't a very good one.

leo laughed. "your lying is worse than mikey's, and that's saying something"

"you take that back i'm a great liar!!" aleiya defended, causing leo to laugh even more.

"yeah, okay"

"i lied to you when i said your stances are good"

leo's laughing died down. "oh really now? is that a challenge?"

"you bet bitch" aleiya smirked.

"alright then, you and me, right now" leo  challenged as he smirked back.

the two then proceeded to have a little contest, laughing and really seeming to get along.

what they didn't know, was that raphael was glaring at them on the other side of the door. before his anger could get the best of him, he left to his work out area to let off some steam.

he wanted to have her, not leonardo.
