~My Perspective~

'What is this? Am I dead?' my mind read to me. 'This is scary...I'm falling and falling, into a dark abyss...' As I fell into the darkness' grasp, I didn't know what to do.

~No one's Perspective~

April, Casey, and their friends ran as fast as they could to their hideout so they can help Aquamarine. When they made it after a few moments, Donatello was fixing her.

"Come on Aqua, please be okay!" April pleaded for her.

Casey hugged April. "It's gonna be okay Red. She'll make it, I just know it."

~A few hours later~

Donatello fixed her up, he and the other turtles went to the living room to do their own thing. Aquamarine was still slumbering and April stood back to see if she could wake up after that fight with Red Claw they fought and encountered.

~My Perspective~

I saw an energy orb that lightened up the darkness around me. I heard a familiar voice that was faint to me. That voice was coming from April! She must be worried sick about me ever since that battle. The whole area around me turned white and I opened my eyes slowly, awakening from the dark abyss. The wounds were hurting me which caused me to moan in pain. "Aww... A-April..?"

April gasped. "Aqua! Are you okay?!" she asked worryingly.

I reached my paw out to her hand and lightly held it. "I-I'm okay." I looked around, feeling myself on a bed and looking around as if I'm in someone's room. "Where am I? And how did I get here?"

"The turtles' lair. Leo carried you here and Donnie worked on your wounds."

"Ohh." I said, looking at my wounds.

"Casey called me and the turtles. Casey told us that you were fighting that big wolf."

I thought about hard and realized it. "That's right! I was trying to kill him for destroying everything in my life. And that was the first time I got beaten by Red Claw." I sighed in defeat.

April held my paw. "Well, I'm so glad that you're alright. I was so worried, even Casey." she said as she was petting my head.

"Casey? Worried about me? I can take care of myself." I smiled with reassurance.

My ears perked as I saw footsteps coming into the room April and I were in. And I saw a huge mutant turtle that was wearing a purple mask over his face. He was carrying a bo-staff that was strapped behind him. This was my first time to see a mutant that was a turtle during the first few months in the city. The turtle looked at me and came over to me.

"April, do you need some- oh hey. You're awake." the turtle smiled.

(The mysterious purple masked turtle)

"Whoa. Who's that April?" I asked her.

"That's Donnie. He's the one who fixed you up."

"Wow. Is he a miracle worker?" I smiled.

She smiled and giggled a bit. "Yes he is."

I smiled bigger at the purple masked turtle. "Thanks for fixing me up Donnie."

He smiled. "You're welcome. You must be Aqua, right?"

"Yes sir."

"We saw you on the news."

"You did?"

"Yeah, thank you for saving Murakami. He's special to us."

"You're welcome."

He smiled again. "I hope you don't mind the smell of our lair."

I smelled the place and I was thinking that we were in a sewer. "I don't mind the smell."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks." he smiled. "I also want to say thank you for saving our friends from the Kraang." he bowed to me.

I nod my head lightly. "It was nothing really. They were in trouble, and I had to save them. Oh, and the Kraang said that they were going to lure you there so they can exterminate Casey and April."

"Really?!" he gasped. "Hmm... this is something new. The Kraang never really thought about killing our human friends."

'That's weird.' I thought to myself, but I skipped that thought and looked up to Donnie. "Where are the other 3 turtles I saw?" I asked him.

"They went out to go get some Pizza Hut. You look hungry."

I looked at my stomach and it growled which caused me to blush. "Yeah, I'm kinda hungry after that fight."

"April and Casey told us everything, even about that wolf you fought. Why do you want to kill him?" he asked me.

"He destroyed my home in Moonstone Village and he slained everyone I loved." I bowed my head down. "Even my parents..."

"Ohh, I'm sorry for your loss. But don't worry, we can get him. And if you want, you can stay here with us." he said.

"I could?"

He nodded. "Yeah."

I gave him a big smile, I never really felt this way. "Thank you. And thanks for bringing me here to fix me up."

"It's our pleasure." he smiled.

"The pizzas are here!" a voice said.

"Oh, that must be Mikey, Raph, and Leo. Do you want to meet them?" he asked me.

"Sure." I replied.

"Okay, let's go. But be careful with your wounds." he said assuringly.

"I will." I said as I got up slowly while he helped me out of his bed.

"Thanks." I looked around. "Is this your lab room?"

"Yeah."

"It's pretty cool. It reminds me of Dr. Fang's lab."

He smiled big. "Thanks. Come on, let's eat."

"Okay Donnie, lead the way."

He lead me out of his lab and into what looks like a living room area.

"Wow!" I smiled as I looked around the area. The living room had gaming machines, a practice dummy, a TV, a look out barrack on the ceiling, and a pool too! I was a little excited about the pool part because I haven't been in the water since I floated away unconsciously from my homeland. "This place is awesome!"

Donnie and April smiled. April looked around and turned to him. "Donnie, I have to get home so I can do my homework."

"Do you want me to take you home?" he asked her.

"No, I can handle myself. I'll see you later."

"Okay."

"Bye Donnie, bye Aqua. You can trust them Aqua, they're heroes." she winked at me as she left the lair, leaving me with Donnie.

"Come on, the guys are in the kitchen and I think my master's in there too."

"Okay."

I was walking with Donnie to the kitchen, lead me through a blue curtain and into the kitchen part. I had my eyes on 3 more turtles that looked like Donnie. The turtle with an orange mask saw me and shook my paw.

"Hi there it's nice to meet you! I'm Mikey and I love pizza!" he said excitingly.

(Meeting Mikey)

I smiled and shook his 3 fingered hand gently. "Hello there. My name's Aqua." I said softly to him.

"Thank you for saving our friends those days ago, you're awesome!"

"You're welcome." I smiled and then I started to cough.

"Are you okay?" Mikey asked me.

"Yeah..." I had my paw over my throat. "It was Red Claw that had me by the throat, it still hurts." I coughed softly.

"I'll go get you some cough drops." Donnie said and left me with the 3 beings in the kitchen.

I looked at the other 2 turtles that were silently eating the pizza, not paying any mind to me. But what caught my eye was the turtle in the blue mask. I felt a thumping in my chest, and I didn't know what it was.

(The blue masked turtle <3)

'Whoa... Who's that? H-He's... gorgeous...' I felt heat coming from my cheeks and I knew I was blushing. 'What is this feeling? And why am I blushing?' I thought to myself.

~Mikey's Perspective~

I looked at Aqua and looked at her who was looking at Leo. 'Does Aqua like my bro Leo?' I thought to myself. And then my brain went to work as I smirked on what I was going to do. 'Hehehehehehehehe...'
