Hey, it's me again. I'm glad that ya'll liked my last story, and I hope that this one will meet ya'll's expectations. I'm planning on this story being longer than the last one, although it's not hard to be longer than a one-shot. I'll try to update quickly, but I have limited access to the Internet and college takes up a lot of time. Especially since it seems everything's due on the same day. Of course, I procrastinate, so that could be part of the trouble. So basically, no promises. Well, happy reading. And if you don't like it or find something wrong, please tell me, and maybe tell me why. Of course I'll still take good reviews. After all, who doesn't want a compliment or two?

Once again (and the way I suspect that it will always be) I own nothing. Zip, zero, nada. But a girl can daydream, can't she? 

Not That Different

Chapter 1: Movies at April's?

"Very good, my sons." Master Splinter's voice rang out. "You may stop."

"Whew!" Mikey said, "It's about time. I don't think I could have lasted much longer." He collapsed on the rooftop they all were on.

Tonight, since it was a moonless night, Master Splinter had decided that it would be a good night to train on the rooftops. He had run them through a rigorous training session. With Karai now having adopted the mantle of the Shredder and trying to kill them, they could not be too prepared.

But now the training was over for the night, and the turtles were free to do what they wanted. Mikey was still collapsed on the rooftop, complaining about the training. Raph was trying to reign in the impulse to take off, because he knew that Master Splinter would not be happy with that. Leo was still doing a couple of moves, like he was cooling down or something, and Don was on his Shell Cell.

"Yeah…Yeah…Yeah, April, I'll ask them." Don moved the Shell Cell away from his mouth. "Hey, guys. April just got a couple of new movies and wants to know if we want to come over and watch them."

"What movies are they?" Leo asked

Donny moved it back to his mouth. "What movies are they, April?" he asked. He listened for a moment then: "Chicken Little, Star Wars III, and a World War II movie called Operation Petticoat. She says it's funny."

"Ooh, ooh, ooh!" Mikey jumped up. "Let's go! Let's go! Can we, Master Splinter? Can we?"

Leo looked at Raph. "It ain't like we got anything better to do." Raph said

"I'm for it too." Leo said

Donny still had his Shell Cell up to his face. "Hold on, April. Master Splinter deciding whether we can come or not."

Master Splinter thought about it for a moment. "I do not see a problem with it. However, I believe I might accompany you tonight. I am curious about the Operation Petticoat movie."

"It's a go, April." Donny said. "Master Splinter's coming too. He said that he's curious about the Operation Petticoat movie. Okay. It'll take us about twenty minutes to get there. We're traveling by rooftop tonight. Okay. See you then." He hung up the Shell Cell. "She said that Casey is coming over too, and that she'd be waiting for us."

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Mike asked. "Let's go watch some movies and eat some popcorn!"

"I thought you were to tired to do anything, Mikey." Raph said.

Mikey laughed. "Yeah, but that was before food and movies were involved."

Master Splinter shook his head. "Come, my sons. We do not want to keep Miss O'Neil waiting."

At that, they all took off leaping across rooftops and making their way toward April's. About ten minutes into the journey, though, Master Splinter raised his hand, signaling his sons to stop.

"What is it Sensei?" Leo asked

"Look down there, my son." He responded.

They all peered down in the ally. There were several Purple Dragons down in the ally, all advancing towards one terrified girl. She had brown hair that came down and curled inward towards her face, and then a longer layer that curled on her shoulders. Her brown eyes were wide with terror and her skin was so pale that she practically glowed. Her jeans had a slight flair to them and a big flower patch on the upper leg. They also had dirt on them. She had a short, brown, tied overlay on over a cream-colored shirt, and dark pink colored flowered flats on. Just like her pants, her shirt and shoes were dirty. She had a couple of big books in her arms, and she hugged them to her like they were her lifeline. On the ground, a few feet from her, lay a pink plaid purse.

The Purple Dragons had the girl backed up against an ally wall. Her eyes kept darting between her purse and the Purple Dragons, like she was contemplating making a run for her it.

"Please," she said, "take all my money, take my phone, I'll even give you my debit card and PIN number, just leave me alone!"

"Oh, we'll take that too." The leader said, "But we want to have a little fun before we do."

The girl sucked in her breath and tensed up. She desperately looked for a way out.

"Master," Raph said, "we gotta help her. What they want ta do ain't right. We gotta do somethin'."

"I agree, Raphael." Master Splinter said.

Suddenly, the leader lunged forward and grabbed the girl's arm. She shrieked, and Master Splinter and the guys jumped into action.

All that the girl knew was that suddenly the purple-haired guy that had grabbed her was lying in the ground, along with most of the other guys that were with him. She tried to move, but as soon as she did, one of her saviors and one of the gang members accidentally knocked her down.

When she looked back up, all of the gang members were down and four shadowed figures were looking down at her. One of them offered her his hand, and she took it and allowed him to pull her up.

"Are you all right?" he asked.

She started to reply, but then she saw his face. "Eeeeeeeek!" she said, freezing to the spot. It couldn't really be called screaming. It wasn't quite loud enough.

A fifth figure walked up to them, holding her purse. "I believe this is yours, young woman."

She got a clear view of him, too. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeek!" she said again, shrinking back a little. This time it was closer to screaming.

The fifth figure sighed, like he was used to this.

All of a sudden, the girl's attention shifted upward. "YyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeK!" she definitely screamed this time, slammed up against the wall, and pointed with her whole arm above their heads.

The figures all turned around and looked up. They immediately took out weapons.

"Oh, great." One of them said. "Leo, it looks like your girlfriend's been keeping an eye out for you."

One of the figures shot a look towards the one that spoke, then turned his attention back towards the figures on the roofs. "Great. Foot soldiers. Just what we needed."

They all took up fighting stances.

Just what have I gotten myself into. The girl thought, starting to once again fear for her life.

So, what do ya'll think? I'd really like to know. As I said before, I want all kinds of reviews. If you don't like it, tell me why. If you see something wrong, out of character, grammatical errors, whatever, let me know. If you do like it, thanks! and please tell me why so I can keep doing what ever you like. I'll also take suggestions for the story, but especially for the girl's name. I can't seem to come up with anything I like. Please give me suggestions for that. I need them. Last name too, if you want to think that hard. At the moment, that hurts my brain. Well, like I said, please review. In fact, I'll make a deal. If you review mine, I promise to review whatever I read (hopefully yours). Okay? Silence is heard. Hey! When did my radio go off?

By the way, do I have to create a new file on my computer to upload a new chapter, or do I just highlight it or something? This web site didn't exactly come with an instruction manual. And can we or can't we use song lyrics? 'Cause I'd like to if possible. I love music. Please, please, please answer these questions or you may end up with this chapter in the next one or something. Thanks again. 
