A/N: I have changed the events of this chapter.

The turtles watched you and Raph line up to fight each other. They were all worried.

"This was a terrible decision," Leo stated, palming his face.

"Yeah, you think?" Donnie retorted, earning himself a glare from Leo.

"Be nice, bro!!" Mikey called. "And good luck, [F/N]!!"

Mikey: the motivational support.

"Thanks, Mikey," you replied.

Raph cracked his neck, then his knuckles.

"That's excessive," you muttered, unimpressed with this display of loud noises.

Raph simply looked over at you. His face did worry you a little. He wore a slightly sadistic grin.

"Are we gonna start or what?" Raph demanded.

Leo sighed, palming his face again. "Hajime," he mumbled.

"What does that mea—"

Before you knew it, you were flipped down onto your stomach, the air knocked out of you. Something heavy was on your back.

"It means 'start'," Raph explained, revealing himself to be the heavy thing. His voice annoyed you greatly. It was smug.

Also, just — this annoyed you greatly. This!! Pinning!! So!! Much!! Sheesh, what was happening, this was already the third time you'd gotten pinned, in 14 chapters!! What, was the author having a creative block or something??!!

You momentarily gasped for air, recalling how you had seen Mikey pinned down and struggling for air just a day ago. Poor Mikey.

"Ugh — you're — heavy," you wheezed.

"It's all these muscles," he snarked. You couldn't see him, but you were fairly sure he was flexing his biceps for, like, the third time in three days. (Again, this was probably due to the author's lack of creativity — dangit, author!)

"No — it's — 'cause— you — have — rocks — for — brains," you corrected.

The other turtles snickered as Raph scowled. "'least I'm smarter than Mikey!!"

"Hey!!" Mikey wailed in protest. Nobody else attempted to contradict Raph on this point.

"Get — off."

"Raph, let her up," Leo ordered.

Raph obliged.

You got up too.

"That wasn't fair," you complained. "I wasn't ready."

"If you had good enough reflexes, you would've dodged me anyway," Raph retorted.

"Leo, c'mon," you pleaded, ignoring Raph.

Leo sighed. "[F/N], I really don't think—"

"Please."

Leo nodded reluctantly.

You and Raph got into your positions again.

"I didn't know you liked losing so much," Raph snickered.

"I didn't know you like to talk up your opponents," you replied.

"OOHHHH!!! BUUURRRNNN!!!" Mikey shouted, even though it wasn't really a good comeback.

Raph scowled, but then went back to his mildly sadistic smile that was a little scary.

"GOOO, [F/N]!!" Mikey cheered.
