Broken (a TMNT fanfic) MAJOR EDITING

Makeover time...

Jess POV

“Oooh no! No way! I didn’t sign up for this!” I yelled

“Oh come on Jess! Please?” Leo begged.

“NO! I agreed to follow April around 24/7 because I don’t want her to get hurt, I agreed to going to school with her to ‘fit in’” I paused

“But I am not agreeing to a full-blown makeover!” I finished and crossed my arms and turned away from Leo.

Yes, I had agreed to be that one person who will always be with April to protect her but this?! This was crossing the line. I was NOT going to have a make over! I’m not an oversized barbie doll that you can place dress up with!

Currently I was in Leo’s room with him begging me to do the make-over. He said it would be better for me if I was a different person and wasn’t recognizable. I do get his point and I know he is only asking to protect me, but having a makeover isn’t me!

“You’re blowing this way out of proportions you know.” He chuckled.

“Maybe I am, but I’m not an overgrown barbie doll! I don’t like makeovers! makes me feel like a total girl.” I said

“But you are a girl…”he pointed out.

“yes I know, but I just…” I sighed and walked over to sit on his bed.

“I just don’t like the idea. I mean.. changing how I look? not just my hair or face or whatever, but everything. It’s just a lot to ask.”

Leo came up and sat down beside me.

“I know it is, and i do feel badly for asking you to change your looks.” He paused. realizing how bad that sounded to a girl

“I, I mean It’s not that you aren’t pretty!! Your gorgeous, but I just want to protect you and if protecting who you are is the way to do it, then I will ask you to.” I giggled at him trying to explain himself.

“Leo, calm down. I get what your saying and I’m not offended” I said with a gentle smile. He looked relieved and smiled. I let out a long deep sigh and made up my mind. I quickly kissed Leo then stood up.

“Fine. I’ll do it. and your right. I was stupid to blow it out of proportions. I understand you are only trying to protect me.” Leo stood up and wrapped his arms around my waist.

He pulled me closer to him and crashed his lips against mine. The kiss was short and sweet, but full of emotion. He pulled back and cupped my face in his hands. He kissed my forehead.

“Thank you. it makes me feel better that you won’t be recognizable.”

Later, on the streets of New York

After my little conversation with Leo, April had practically dragged me out of the lair. Leo said the first thing that people recognize was hair color… or in their case, skin color. So he said that my hair was of top priority. April brought me to a very busy street in New York. It was very weird to be in a crowded area because I usually stayed away from places like like. I was walking beside April, trying my best not to bump into a random stranger. Walking up in public without covering my face was dangerous for many reasons.

1) Being seen with April could increase our chances of being seen by unwanted ninjas..

2) I could be recognized by the foot or kraang
