Finding Rose

There's More Where That Came From

"Alicia!!!"

"What?!?!?!?"

"What the hell did ya do to my punchin' bag?!?!?!?"

I saw her run and Raph running after her. I sighed as I tried to beat Mikey in one of his video games. It's hard, every time I get near him, he would either back up or hit me really fast. The song Mortal Combat was playing in the background and I have the character, Rose. (Duh) And Mikey had some kind of character with stretchy limbs. He knocked out my character and I gave him five bucks. Stupid bet.

I looked behind me and Alicia was still running from Raph. She was laughing and he looked like he was going to kill her. I looked at the punching bag and I saw some of the shurikens that sensei gave her were crammed in there. I walked up to the bag, pulled them out and threw them at the target practice that I made her. I looked again and they were on the ground panting.

"Having fun?" I asked teasingly.

"Sh-shuaddap...." gasped Raph

"Y-yeah." moaned Alicia.

I smiled and went to the water pond that we got in the lair. I saw a dark figure move in the water and I stopped on my tracks. I looked closer and it passed me again. I looked to the area where Don had his lab, but he was there, fixing a motor or something. I looked to the training area and Leo was meditating as usual. Raph and Alicia were lying on the ground, Mikey was playing video games, and Splinter is in his room. So, who or what was swimming in the water.

We heard a scream and someone was shouting 'help' out in the sewers. We all looked at each other and we headed out. Mikey ran ahead of us and I kept up with him. We hit the part of the sewer that reminds me of a group of waterfalls. The others caught up and we heard the shout again. I looked under me and I saw a hand sticking out and a girl was trying to stay out of the water.

I jumped off and when I hit the water, I saw a tail and I nearly freaked. I looked closer and it looked like a fish tail. I hit the surface and the girl was still struggling.

"Someone get a long rope!!! NOW!!!"

Leo ran and I grabbed the girl under her arms and tried to keep her up in the surface where she could breathe. She was struggling and I saw that the fish tail was attached to her and she was stuck under piles of wood. Stupid New Yorkers and their trash. I looked up and Leo threw the rope over a pipe and he lowered it down. Once it was close to us, I tied the rope around her and I headed in the water. I pushed the wood, but it was heavy and I was running out of air.

I went back up, took another deep breath, and headed back into the water. I gave the wood another push and it only moved a little.

'Damn it.'

I felt the wood move and I pushed it where it was falling. I went up the surface and I saw Leo hitting the surface too. He tugs on the rope and we were being lifted out of the water. Alicia grabbed her by the arm while I had her by the, her, tail and we carried her to the lair. Before we got in, her fuchsia tail that had a long beaded anklet that wrapped around it twice, turned into legs when we laid her on the couch. We all watched her tail turn into legs and the beaded anklet was around her right ankle.

I saw that she wore a pair of denim shorts, a dark purple strapless, and she had a pink sea shell around a gold chain around her neck. She had a long beaded bracelet the wrapped around her right wrist twice, and she also had jet black hair with red streaks. We waited for her to wake up, but it was almost four hours and she was still knocked out. We all got up and went to the training area and we all heard a splash.

We all turned and we saw Mikey at the water hole and the water was moving. I saw a grin on his face and I knew that he had one of his idiotic ideas.

"Mikey!! What did you do?!?!?"

I saw the girl that was knocked out wasn't on the couch and I knew what he had done.

"You idiot!!!"

The girl's head popped out of the water and she was wide awake. As usual, she done the questions that anyone would ask if they were in an unfamiliar place. She looked at us and she creamed her head off and she headed in the water.

"She'll be back." said Don.

Her head floated out of the water and she just stayed in the water. We all stood there in silence and we heard a door sliding. Splinter came out and the girl screamed again and left in the water. Five seconds later, she came back and asked how she could get out.

"Ya can't." I said. "Once you're in here. There is no way out."

She nearly panicked and we all laughed.

"I'm just kidding. Tell us, how ya turned into......"

She looked at us confused and I pointed at her tail. She looked at it and she freaked and swam in circles. We all guessed that she was human before and she had no clue about the tail and that it was her first time using it. I gotta hand it to her, she can swim pretty well for a beginner.....mermaid. She stopped to catch her breath and I stuck my hand out. She grabbed it and I pulled her out of the water. Splinter gave her a towel and when she dried off her hair, her tail was turning into legs again.

She was fascinated that she almost jumped back in the water.

"Whoa there, mija." said Alicia. "We need to talk. What's your name and how did you get the fish tail?

"Um. My name is Megan Heart and I don't know. I remember being with my sister, Emily and we were being attacked. We both blacked out and we were in a dark room with little light and I heard my sister screaming. I saw her and she was free. She let me free and we both ran. We were surrounded by ninjas and my sister pushed me into a pipe. And that's when I was in the sewers and met you guys."

We all listened to her and when she talked on the part about the ninjas, we all knew that it was Stockman's evil work.

"WHY CAN'T THAT BASTARD STOP MESSING WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES?!?!?!?" I shouted.

I went into my room and grabbed my fans and ran towards the door. I felt something stop me and I saw Raph over towering me.

"Let me through, Raph."

"Hell, no. You are not goin' to that place. You could get hurt."

"I agree." added Alicia, "He has the Foot working for him and we don't have a plan."

"But my sister's in there!!!" yelled Megan.

 "Come on, guys!!" Mikey said, "I mean, who knows what he's gonna do to his sister. She could even be dead right now."

Megan practically panicked and Raph hit him upside the head muttering 'idiot'. After a really long pause of silence, we all agreed to go save her sister and we all get what we need before we leave
