    Raphael swung at the plastic ball Donatello threw his way and hit it into another part of the sewer with a clank.

    "This sucks. We could do so much more if we could go out during the day," he grumbled. This wasn't a new gripe of his; he hated how they were forced to live. Freaks. Living in the sewers. It didn't get worse than that.

    "We're training...". Donnie tossed another ball for him, from his seat on the couch. Raphael swung the bat and hit the ball with a thud. "Kinda. Once the sun goes down, it's turtle time." It irritated Raphael that his younger brother was content existing in their current conditions. Sure, he had his books and his computers to satiate him, but Raphael didn't. He had his fists and his punching bag and the addition of these things to his life didn't make his world any bigger. He felt like a caged animal, pacing back and forth, ready to sprint and attack.
He'd spend his days seeing scumbags faces on his punching bag, counting the minutes til he reached the surface. But instead of feeling free in the open space, he felt like it was all caving in on him. Instead of feeling fresh air in his lungs, he felt his throat closing. He resented the surface; the freedom it promised, but always took away when the sun came up. 

His youngest brother, Michelangelo, lounged on the couch next to Donnie while watching some YouTube video on Donnie's laptop. He was mesmerized and staring. Curious, Raphael unceremoniously tossed the bat to the side and walked over to the couch to sit next to him.

    "Hey! Ding dong, whatcha watching?" Being the bully he could be, he elbowed his little brother in the plastron and snatched the laptop away, looking for any reason to make fun of what he was watching. To his disappointment, it was a hot girl singing in skimpy clothes, rolling her hips, and singing.  "Damn. Who knew you had good taste?"

    "HEY!" Mikey said, offended. "That's Alexis Blaisdell. And she's fiiiiine!  She's gonna be my wifey!"
     "If that girl saw your ugly self, she'd run for her life."
Donnie chimed in as he stood behind the couch looking over their shoulders.  "I give her a 9.99."

    "Oh, what's the other .01 for?!" Raph asked, pushing Donnie away easily.  He was one to be picky.

    "She's not wearing purple," Donnie said before shrugging and walking away.

Both Raphael and Michelangelo shook their heads at his answer. 

    While this was all going on, Leonardo walked in the room. "What are you guys looking at?" He asked. He sat on the couch on the other side of Mikey and looked over his shoulder. Unlike the rest of them, he didn't comment on her at all. He would act like this sometimes, too good for their "antics." Only Raphael seemed to get annoyed by his attitude.  The attitude that said his baby brothers were too "childish" for him.

    "Guys, we'll leave around 10pm so do whatever you have to until then."

    Raphael stood up and jumped up to one of the pipes running across the room and began doing pull-ups. He had to distract myself from the girl Mikey showed him.  She was making his body stir in... that way... But before he knew it, he was googling her on his phone, alone in the bedroom he shared with Michelangelo. He was hard and he stroked himself until he came, imagining her beneath him moaning his name. There was just something about this girl. Her hips, her ass...   He lay panting, eyes shut. He came so fast and so hard. Those eyes... her eyes....looking up at him.....

    As they jumped from roof top to roof top under the cover of night, Leo laid out the plan. "We're going to the mayor's ball tonight. There were some threats made by the foot so we're going there to make sure nothing happens."

    "So we're glorified security guards?" Raphael stated more than asked, irritated. We go out of our way to hide in the shadows so we can guard parties, he thought.
    With slitted eyes Leo said, "We're here to make sure nobody gets hurt."
    "Whatever," Raphael mumbled, not in the mood to challenge 'the leader.'
    "And Alexis is on the guest list!" Mikey chimed in!
    Raphael felt his breath hitch. The girl from the video today was going to be at this ball tonight. How am I going to focus on the mission?
    Leo rolled his eyes and glared at Mikey. "Who told you that? Was it Donnie?" He asked before shooting Donnie a dirty look.
    "What? I was curious who was gonna be there," Donnie defended innocently.
    "Just focus, Mikey," Leo spoke sternly.  Lameonardo.
