MALAK'S POV "))
Last night was crazyyyyy!! Did I just meet a giant turtle?!?! And he had a name?!?!? But for me... he isn't an animal — he is a hero!! He's so kind and gentle too. His ocean-blue eyes were gorgeous! Leonardo — the name I will never forget. The hero who saved my life and treated my wounds! He was so gentle with me when he asked softly if he could carry me... hhhhh... I took a deep breath just to relive that beautiful moment! OH MY GOD!!!!! MALAK, YOU'RE LATE FOR WORK AGAIN!!!!! I lifted my coffee cup and ran to grab my home keys. I threw on my lovely pink jacket and rushed outside. Aaaand again, the same damn scenario — running in the street like I just broke up with someone or something 😂!!! Finally, I arrived at the restaurant just in time.
Malak: Thank God I finally made it in time!
I entered the restaurant and found Murakami on the floor, holding his head like he had hit something!!!
Malak: Mr. Murakami!!!!!
Murakami: Ahh, welcome back, sweetie — aaaooo!!
I ran to him and helped him stand up from the floor, still holding his arms.
Malak: What happened?!
I asked, worriedly!
Murakami: Some soup fell on the ground and I slipped... my head hit the table... ahhh!!!
Malak: I'm so sorry I left you and was late! Please forgive me. Come sit down and rest while I do the rest of the work.
I still held his arms and led him to sit.
Murakami: No, no, my child. It's not your fault, don't worry. Good food always brings cooperation and love. Therefore, we must work together to prepare the food. We have a lot of customers today, so... He grabbed the kitchen apron and handed it to me.
Murakami: You must prepare it with love! And I know you're so good at it!!
Malak: Aww, hai chef!
Then, we started making the meals together for the customers, with lots of love and patience!!

Turtles' POV"))
We were all sitting on the couch with April, telling her the whole story about the mysterious girl we found last night. 😂
Mikey: "And then she waved her hair like she was a 10/10 supermodel!! She's freaking awesome!!!"
He said it so joyfully, his hands flying everywhere.
Donnie: "But what makes me confused is that she's just an ordinary human... living an ordinary life."
He tilted his head in deep thought.
Raph: "Yeah, and what made us like her is that she was normal."
He shrugged casually.
April: "Ahh, I think you guys are a little too interested in this girl."
She smirked, crossing her arms.
Raph: "Ahh don't get greedy, April. You're still our friend too."
He teased her with a little wink.
Donnie: "But what happened to her, Leo? Did you make sure she's still okay?"
Leo: "Yeah. I kicked Rocksteady's butt and threw a smoke bomb. Then I took the girl and ran away to safety. But... I found her really injured. So bad, last night."
Raph: "Did she say to you, 'My hero~' or *'Handsome fearless leader~'?"
He teased again, and that made Leo's cheeks blush.
Leo: "W-We... well... she said sweet things to me that really surprised me. A-And yes, Raph... she did call me handsome! And guess what? She hugged me and gave me the sweetest kiss ever... on my cheek!!"
He said it while blushing like crazy. All our eyes widened like we just got hit by a truck.
Turtles & April: "WHAAAAT DID SHE DOOOOO!!!???"
We all screamed at him, unable to believe what we just heard.
Leo: "Yes... a-and she is sooo sweet!!!"
Raph: "Looks like our fearless leader has fallen in love with someone~!!"
He teased even harder, and we all burst out laughing while Leo's face turned red like a tomato. But he just laughed along like it was nothing. 😂
Mikey: "Did you take the fairy princess to her home??"
Leo: "No, but I took her to Murakami's restaurant. Maybe he's her boss at work or something."
Suddenly, April's eyes widened like she saw a ghost.
April: "W-W-WAIT. Did you just say... Murakami??"
Leo: "Yeah. Do you know her, April?"
April: "YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MALAK?! The girl who works at Murakami's restaurant?!?! Of course I know her!!! She's my best friend—and she's in my college too!!"
Turtles: "WHAT?! You know her too??!!"
April: "Yes, guys. She's the most beautiful girl in the city. She's even prettier than me!"
Donnie: "Nah, don't say that, April. You're beautiful to me—I mean—you are beautiful... I mean... I-I..."
He started stuttering until...
Raph grabbed Donnie by the neck and clamped his mouth shut.
Raph: "Thank me later."
Leo: "Ahh... anyway, guys. Let's head to patrol. We need to gear up."
Mikey: "Oh oh!! And visit the fairy princess, okay???"
Raph: "Maybe we shouldn't scare her... but yeah, I agree with Mikey on this one."
Leo: "Alright then. Patrol first. Then we visit Malak."
Mikey: "AAAYEAHHH!! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!! BOOYAKASHAAAAAA!!!"
Raph: "April, you coming with us?"
April: "No, I can't. I have a math exam tomorrow, and Malak and I already planned to study together at her house."
Donnie: "Wait, she loves studying???"
April: "Yes! She's the most genius girl in the college. She always gets full marks! Her favorite subjects are science and math!"
Donnie: "THAT'S AWESOME!!!!! HA! IN YOUR FACES!! Now I finally got someone who respects and shares my love for science and knowledge! AWESOME!!!"
Raph: "Ahh, she's totally gonna freak out when she sees your brain, I swear."
Donnie: "Well, my brain is the most important thing keeping you all alive. Just saying."
Raph: "Umm... fair point."
Leo: "Alright ninjas—let's move!"

Malak's POV "))
Murakami: "Take care of yourself, and stay away from trouble!!"
Malak: "I WIIILLL, BYE BYE MR. MURAKAMI!!"
I shouted to him as I left the restaurant after finishing my shift. Yeah, we had so many customers today—more than ever before! I was about to head home, but I decided to take a little walk and breathe in some fresh air. As I walked, I kept thinking about what happened to me last night. And with that... I lost my way again.
Malak: "Ahhh not again!! I'm so stupid, really!!"
I groaned under my breath, frustrated and nervous. Suddenly, I found myself surrounded by strange black soldiers that looked like robots!! They were holding all kinds of weapons in their hands!!!
Malak: "W-Who are you?! What did I do to you?!!"
They didn't answer. Total silence. No expressions. Just cold, dead glares. That's it. I didn't know how to fight. I didn't even know how to escape from this kind of dangerous situation. My mind shut down, and my body froze.
One of them was about to strike me—
But then, out of nowhere, I saw a sharp blade slicing right through him—and he dropped to the ground!!!
And behind him was... w-was... LEO?!?!?!
And he wasn't alone—he was fighting beside—
OH MY GOD. HE HAS THREE BROTHERS LIKE HIM?!?!?!
Leo: "Mikey, take her away from here! We'll catch up later!!"
M-Mikey? I saw him running toward me.
Mikey: "Alright, dudette! Don't worry, my princess—'cause the brave knight Mikey is here!!!"
His voice was full of joy and energy. I didn't feel scared of him at all. He was so cute and sweet too! He scooped me up tight and climbed up to the rooftops with me in his arms. When we were finally safe, he gently placed me on the ground.
Malak: "Aww, thank you, Mikey, for saving my life,"
I said warmly.
Mikey: "No problemo, my princess! You're safe now!"
Suddenly, he pulled me into a deep hug to reassure me that I was okay. I hugged him back even tighter. I couldn't deny it—I was freaking out from those creepy robot things. But when I saw the four of them...
My heart felt this warm, safe feeling. Mikey had such a kind heart and a sweet smile too.
Then I heard Leo's voice calling from afar—
Leo: "Malak! Are you alright?!"
He was running toward me.
Malak: "Yes, I'm okay, Leo! Thanks to you all!!"
I ran to him and hugged him tightly, and he hugged me back just as tightly.
Donnie: "We need to hide in a safe place—now!"
Malak: "My house is nearby!"
They all nodded to each other, and then I felt Leo lift me up in his strong, warm arms and take off—leaping from rooftop to rooftop!
When we reached my balcony, Leo gently set me down.
Malak: "Guys, thank you so much for saving my life. I really appreciate it. Thank you."
Mikey: "No problem, princess! We love saving you!"
I chuckled at that. He's seriously so sweet.
Raph: "But I have a question, princess... Why didn't you freak out or run away when you saw us? I mean—we're freakin' talking turtles!"
Okay. That question hit me right in the heart.
Malak: "Umm... what's your name first?"
Raph: "I bet you already know Leo and Mikey. I'm Raph. And this guy here is Donnie—the brain of the team."
Malak: "Nice to meet you all! And... please don't say that, Raph. You're all beautiful and handsome, and you have kind hearts. You didn't have to save me, but you did. So why should I be scared of you?"
Leo: "You really have a kind heart, Malak."
He smiled warmly at me.
Malak: "Aww, thank you, Leo! Of course I have a kind heart—for my heroes!!"
Mikey: "AWWWW, THIS MOMENT NEEDS A BIG TIGHT HUG!! FAMILY HUG, DUDES!!!"
And they all crushed me into a tight group hug!
Except Raph.
Raph: "You'll get to know me... hugs aren't really my thing."
He said it sharply, but then I gave him the ultimate puppy eyes 😳🥺
He groaned in defeat.
Raph: "Aahhh okay—ONE LAST TIME!!"
Then he hugged me too 😭😂They're so sweet and kind. Maybe... I was lucky to meet them. Lucky to meet the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles— The heroes of New York City. and with that ... we became close friends !!....
