Ray was backing up slowly as she saw 4 men walking up to her with evil smirks on their faces.

"W-Who are you guys?? W-What do you want from me??" Ray asked shaking in fear.

"We're the 'Purple Dragons' and you are in our alley." Said the leader of the purple dragons who was named, Hun.

"Yeah! And since you our in our alley, we might as well give you a good punishment." Said one of the members named, Sid.

"I'm s-sorry I didn't mean to go here....h-how about we just talk about this guys? I mean...like regular people?" Ray asked nervously.

"We don't think so, girly." Said another one of the members named, Fong.

"P-Please don't hurt me...I promise I won't come here again..." Ray begged.

"Too late for that." Said the last member named, Tsoi.

As they came closer to Ray, suddenly, there a was a voice coming from behind the purple dragons. They turned around and saw a certain orange masked mutant turtle named, Michelangelo or Mikey.

"You guys really don't know how to treat a lady don't you huh?" The orange masked turtle teased as he took out his nunchucks.

"It's one of the turtles!! It's the dumb one!!!" Hun pointed at him.

"Hey!!!" Mikey cried as he began to attack them.

As he was fighting the purple dragons, Ray couldn't help but admired the turtle's moves and tricks.

'Woah....a mutant turtle? He's pretty cute...wait! Did I just think that??" Ray thought.

While Ray was too distracted by staring at Mikey, Sid creeped up behind her and grabbed her arms.

"*gasped in fear* Hey!!! L-Let me go!!" Ray begged as she tried to escape.

"Let her go!!!!" Mikey shouted.

"I don't think so, turtle..." Sid said evilly as he grabbed out a small sharp knife and pointed it at Ray's neck.

Suddenly, Ray did something that she have never done before, she bit Sid's arm and kicked him.

"OWW!!!!!" Sid cried as he let her go and groaned in pain.

Ray was shocked of what she did. She looked at Sid and kicked him many times.

"That's what you get for trying to kill me!!!" Ray shouted still kicking him.

Mikey looked at the girl with brown hair with light brown and purple highlights and simply was impressed and shocked by her strong moves.

'Wow! That girl's pretty tough! And kinda cute too! Wait....did I just think that???' Mikey thought.

"Ok! Ok! Ok!! We'll leave you alone ok?!!" Said Sid as he weakly got up from the ground and ran away with the rest of the gang.

After they were gone, Mikey came up to Ray and looked at her shyly.

"Are you alright, Miss?" Asked Mikey.

"Yes, I am....thank you for saving me." Ray said shyly.

"*smirked* It seemed like you didn't need my help at all." Mikey said with a playful smirk.

"*smirked* Oh really?" Ray asked smirking playfully as well.

"Wait....your not afraid of me????" Asked Mikey as he stepped away from her a bit.

"What?? Of course not!! Why would you think that!?" Said Ray as she looked at him with wide eyes. "You saved my life! And I thank you for that."

"Hehe...It's noting really just doing my job." Said Mikey as he chuckled nervously.

"What's your name?" Ray asked.

"Oh, um I'm, Michelangelo but you can call me Mikey!" He said with a big smile.

"Nice name." Said Ray.

"Really? Uh t-thanks." Mikey said shyly as he blushed lightly. "What's your name?"

"Oh, uhhh.....My name is Ray Dafire but please call me Ray." Said Ray.

"You have a really beautiful name, Ray." Said Mikey.

"You really m-mean that??" Ray asked as she blushed lightly.

"Yeah!! Duhh!! It's like the coolest name ever!!" Mikey said cheerfully.

"Aww....thank you. No one has ever said anything nice to me like that." Ray said shyly as she played with her fingers.

"*gasped loudly* Oh shoot!! I'm not suppose to be seen by humans!! Ohh....Dad, Leo, Raph and Donnie are gonna kill me!!" Mikey panicked as he remembered that he was suppose to not be seen by other humans.

"There's more of you?" Ray asked.

"Yeah. I actually have 3 other brothers. I'm the youngest out of all of them. And I have a Dad who is actually a mutant rat and a ninjutsu master." As Mikey said that, he quickly covered his mouth at what he said.

"What's wrong?" Ray asked feeling a bit confused.

"I-I wasn't suppose to say that!! Oh man! I'm so dead!" Said Mikey as he looked away.

"Don't worry, Mikey. I won't tell anyone. Besides, I'm good at keeping secrets." Said Ray.

"Yeah....but.....I just don't know if I can trust you, Ray..." Mikey said shyly as he looked down a bit.

"You can trust me, Mikey. I promise I won't tell anyone!" Said Ray as he came closer to the turtle.

"*sighed* You promise you won't tell a soul? If you do then I would be dead by my family!" Said Mikey.

"*giggled* I promise." Said Ray as she smiled warmly at him.

"Thanks, Ray. Also.....w-what happened to you? Your all wet and are those feathers on your dress and.....is that a bit of chocolate cake on your face?" Mikey asked.

"*looked down* O-Oh.....um.....it's n-noting really...." Said Ray.

"Oh come on. That can't be noting dudette!" Said Mikey. "It's ok you can tell me."

"*sighed* Fine....I was invited to a party who was actually a girl who bullies me....so I went to her party and everything was fine until.....h-her and her crew pulled a big prank on me! Everyone started laughing at me and took photos of me...so I ran out of the house and cried...." Said Ray as her voice cracked a bit. "I thought that she was gonna be my friend and change.....UGH I'M SO STUPID!!"

'Poor Ray.....I bet she's been going through a lot...' Mikey thought as he felt bad for her.

"Why did I even try to be friends with people who don't even like me...." Ray said sadly.

Mikey did something that Ray didn't expected, he gave her a nice big hug. She was surprised by the turtle's actions but she hugged him back.

"Ray....your not an idiot....your just trying to be a nice person and I can't blame you for that. You just tried to make friends with the wrong people....it's alright because you have a new friend right here...." Said Mikey.

"R-Really? You would be my friend?" Ray asked as her eyes went wide.

"Of course! Even though we just met!" Said Mikey as he giggled a bit.

"*chuckled* Yeah. Thanks, Mikey." Said Ray.

After she said that, Ray and Mikey broke the hug and looked at each other and couldn't help but admired each other's eyes.

'Wow....his eyes are so....m-magical...' Ray thought as she kept staring into his baby blue eyes.

'Wow....her eyes are so....b-beautiful...' Mikey thought as he also kept staring into her shimmering purple eyes.

After a few moments of silence, Mikey finally was able to spoke.

"Oh no! I gotta go! My brothers and my Dad might be wondering where I went!" Said Mikey.

"Oh, that's alright, Mikey. You can go. But....when will we meet again?" Ray asked shyly.

"*looked at her* Don't worry, we will." Said Mikey as he gave her a warm smile which made Ray blushed a bit.

"*blushed a bit* Y-Yeah. We will." Said Ray.

With that, Mikey gave Ray a quick wink before leaving. As she watched him leave, she smiled widely and then continued to walk back home.

This is the beginning of a new friendship.
