(Silvana's POV)

I woke up happy after another peaceful night's rest, and my mood was instantly darkened by the thought that I eventually had to leave this amazing family I had the good fortune to stumble upon. I pushed that unpleasant thought from my find, sat up in my bed and swung my feet around, shocking them with the cold sting of the floor. Stretching my back, I glanced at the clock. It read 9:40 am. This, of course, meant that the turtles wouldn't be up for at least another four or five hours. 

My hair felt stringy from it being so greasy, and my eyelids felt heavy. Wait, when was the last time I showered? That would be just the perfect thing to do right now. I tiptoed down the hallway past the sleeping boys' rooms, and closed the bathroom door over, gratefully stepping underneath the warm soothing water. My muscles as well as my injured wing relaxed, this was exactly what I needed.

After a good 20 minutes of some quality me-time, I pulled back the shower curtain, and reached up on my toes to grab a clean towel off the hook. To my horrible surprise, I forgot to lock the door.

It all seemed to happen in slow motion; I stretched for the towel, and the door knob started to turn ever so slowly. . .

"Ahhh! Get out!!" I screamed at the turtle who accidentally walked in on me.

"Oh shell, Silvana! I was just going to the wash room! I'm leaving!" he couldn't get the words out fast enough. He had a full frontal view of my newly-showered self, and averted his eyes as quickly as possible as I tried to cover myself with just my arms (which was difficult because I was fairly well-endowed). He tossed me the towel I had dropped on the floor in surprise, and shuffled back to his room, slamming his door behind him.

I threw on some leggings and a hoodie, paranoid that a repeat of what just happened would occur. My cheeks were still on fire because of the little 'accident', but I was hungry, so I risked a trip to the kitchen. I walked in to find Raph sitting at the table already.

"Oh, hi," I greeted him awkwardly, trying to act casual.

"Hey. . ." he scratched the back of his neck.

"I was just getting some Cap'n Crunch," I did not sound as casual as I wanted to.

"Okay," he was refusing to meet my gaze.

"Okay, well whatever, see you later," I called back to him, stomping to my room. I don't know why I was so mad at him. Maybe it was because I was expecting him to apologize, I mean he saw me naked for shit's sake! Or, maybe it was because he had tried to almost kill me, or maybe because he tried to throw me out of their home (which I guess I can't blame him for).

I decided to lock myself in my room for the rest of they day, with only my phone, and some of Leo's Space Heroes action figure collection to keep myself entertained.

(Michelangelo's POV)

All of my brothers were on edge tonight, I could totally tell. My special ninja sensors were all like WHAM and WEE-OOO WEE-OOO. They all only had four pieces of pizza when they could have easily doubled that on a bad day! Oops, I guess I'll just have to finish the pizza on my own. . .

"Sooooo. . ." I looked at all my brothers, "what's up with you guys? No one told me the silent convention was today."

"Mikey, how did you even use the word convention in the right context?" Donnie gaped at me.
