Naomi: *lands in a different dimension in school, completely human with dark clothes on. Looks at self and blinks, confused* Didn't know dimensions could change my appearance....

Alexia: *passes by then waves* Naomi! Hey!

Naomi: *looks over and blinks* H-Hi...

Alexia: *smiles and comes over* Grandpa Kirby wants me to have my friends come over.

Naomi: Oh, yeah. Uhm... sure.

Alexia: Thanks! Just follow me home.

Naomi: Can do *smiles*

*Bell rings for end of day*

Alexia: There it goes! Come on. *Grabs Naomi's wrist and heads out*

Naomi: *blinks, shocked* Hey, uhm, I'm not good with names and I forgot yours.

Alexia: *looks at her weird* Really? *smiles* Alexia. Alexia Jones

Naomi: *shocked* As in Casey Jones?

Alexia: *nods* Yeah. You must really have bad memory if you forgot about my parents.

Naomi: *smiles nervously* Sorry. Short term memory.

Alexia: Yeah, okay. *laughs* Because your mind-like reading skills sure seems to tell you differently.

Naomi: *laughs softly* So where do you live?

Alexia: Here. *enters an apartment door and goes up the stairs*

Naomi: *follows, looking around* So.... Have you seen any Turtles...?

Alexia: No. Just your drawings of them. Why?

Naomi: *shakes head* No reason...

Alexia: *walks in door* Grandpa Kirby!

Naomi: *looks around*

Kirby: *walks in* Home already, Alexia?

Alexia: Yeah. And this is Naomi.

Kirby: *pauses* Naomi?

Naomi: *pauses and smiles, waving* Hi, Kirby....!

Kirby: *nods without smiling* Nice to meet you.

Naomi: *looks away*

Alexia: *looks at them both then sighs* Okay, what's going on?

Kirby: Nothing

Naomi: *shrugs, putting hands in pockets* Nothing I would know of. Except I'd rather be in my other form... This human form is funky.

Alexia: *confused* Other form?

Naomi: *nods* I'm a Lizard.

Kirby: *grits teeth* In a book she is...!

Naomi: You can stop lying to her, Kirby. Honestly.

Alexia: *blinks*

Kirby: *looks down*

Naomi: Yes, there are Turtles, but there's also other mutants. Her mother died and Casey disappeared. I'm trying to get to my dimension.

Alexia: What...?

Naomi: I don't belong here. Well, the other Naomi here might, but I don't. I ran off to try and calm down from a fight, but I lost my way. I'm trying to get back.

Alexia: Is my mother and father in your dimension?

Naomi: *nods* And April won't be pregnant in that dimension until after college.

Alexia: I wanna go with you!

Kirby: Alexia...

Alexia: I want to meet my mom! And dad! I'm tired of living in the dark when you won't talk about them!

Naomi: *looks at Kirby* I'll bring her back safely.

Kirby: Please...

Naomi: *nods and opens a portal*

Alexia: Let's go *smiles*

Naomi: *nods* You first. And try to land on your feet

Alexia: *jumps through*

Naomi: *follows*
