It has been 10 years since the incident on the Sacks tower. Our TMNT brothers have met few more friends in this time. One being a young woman by the name of Vivian Voss. A now hardworking social worker, that was pulled out of her burning apartment building by Leonardo when she was 16. Unfortunately he was unable to rescue her parents, and she was put into the system. Although she was passed around from foster home to foster home, it didn't stop her from searching out her rescuer. After about 6 months of camping out on roof tops, she finally caught a break, and they haven't been able to shake her since. Not that they would want to now, turns out they rather enjoy the company of someone their age.

I DO NOT OWN TMNT OR ANY OF IT'S CHARACTERS.

We begin our story in the humble apartment of Vivian Voss...

Vivian jumped out of the shower, swiped a towel and rushed to her ringing phone, silently praying it wasn't her date calling to cancel. She let out a relieving sigh after seeing it was just April.

"Hey April, what's up?" She answered cheerfully as she walked into her bedroom, letting her towel fall at her feet on the hardwood floor.

"Hey V! I was calling to see if you would mind grabbing the snacks for tonight? I would but I need to run up to the station to grab a few things for a story I'm working on." Vivian quickly put her phone on speaker while she put on her underwear and bra, and huffed in irritation for forgetting all about the movie night with the guys.

"Crap! I completely forgot about tonight. Sorry, but I'm not going to be able to make it. Believe it or not, I have a date!" V gushed, this is her first real date in years and she was going to make sure it went off with out a hitch.

"What!? That's great Vivian! Is it anyone I know? Where are you going?" She smiled while picking up her towel and began the long process of drying her long brown hair.

"Actually you just might know him, It's Marcus Winters." Vivian plopped on her bed with a huge smile on her face.

"Wait! The Marcus Winters? As in the son of Charles Winters? The second wealthiest person in New York?" V laughed, yeah she couldn't believe it either. Marcus was one of the most sought after bachelors in New York. Never in a million years did she think he would even look in her direction.

"Yeah, that Marcus Winters. He's taking me to that club that opened up on 53rd." Vivian stated walking into her living room to pick up the package that had been sent to her a few hours ago. It was a black rectangular dress box that had a red ribbon wrapped around it with a neat little bow to finish it off.

"Oh! The one with the speakeasy theme?" Vivian bit her lip and reopened the package and looked down lovingly at the dress Marcus had sent for her to wear. It was a black dress that would fall just below her knees. The top was covered in black sequins that glittered in the light, and the bottom portion had layers of thinly cut black fabric that covered the dropped waist skirt.

"Yeah, The White Canary, He even bought me a Robe de style dress, and it is gorgeous!" She held the dress up to her chest and flattened the skirt to her thighs admiring the fabric that brushed her legs.

"That's great V! Sooo have you told Leo?" Vivian gave her phone a bemused look, granted Leo has been a bit over protective in the last week or so, but he didn't have to know every detail of her life.

"Um no, I haven't told anyone but you. I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get ready. Why would I tell Leo I have a date anyway? He's not my keeper." She said taking her phone off speaker.

"You remember last time I went on a date and didn't tell Leo? He had Mikey follow me around for a week, just to make sure the guy wasn't some creep." Vivian cringed as she remembered how pissed April was. Not only that Mikey had dressed up like an old woman on more than one occasion just to get closer.

"Yeah that was...interesting. Look, I really don't have time to call mother hen and tell him what I have planned for the next 5 years. I've got to get ready, I'll call you tonight to tell you how it goes." She laughed casually walking to her room to get dressed. She was not going to let anyone ruin this night, especially Leo.

"You better! Alright, talk to you later V." Vivian dropped her phone on her bed and walked to her full length mirror.

"Ok Vivian...you can do this" She stated bravely as she stepped in to her dress and pulled the straps over her shoulders.

It was 7:30 by the time April began making her way down to the sewers, since Vivian wasn't able to get the snacks, she had to run and get them after stopping by the station. She would have asked Casey, but that would have ended in him getting a 30 pack and a couple bags of chips. Knowing the guys the chips wouldn't have lasted an hour, so she opted on having him getting the drinks and her getting the snacks. She climbed down the ladder and carefully readjusted the bags and her arms. With a sigh she began her trek to the lair, though she didn't have to go far before a certain someone came bouncy to her aid.

"April! You're just in time, Lilly just got back with the pizza!" Mikey piped as he rushed to take some of the bags from her now sagging arms.

"Good I am starving." She stated walking in step with Mikey.

"Hey, have you heard from V? She said she was going to bring me the newest Zombie Commander comic." He asked with pure excitement in his eyes.

"Sorry Mikey, she's on a date tonight. I'm sure she'll bring it down as soon as...Mikey?" April stopped to look at his now concerned gaze.

"Ummm did she happen to tell Leo?" He asked pushing open the heavy door to their subterranean home.

"Tell me what?" April jumped slightly at Leo's sudden appearance. You'd think after ten years of being around ninjas she would've gotten used to it, but he definitely kept her on her toes.

"Nothing!" Mikey squeaked and grabbed the remaining bags from April before sprinting towards the kitchen. Leo turned his gaze to April, who had to work up the courage to tell him.

"Well...Vivian is going out on date tonight." She informed him walking briskly to the living area to set down her things. She turned just in time to see the hurt expression leave his face.

"Did she say where they were going?" He asked as he strode up to her

Here we go

"Leo. It's just a date, and it's not like she's having dinner with the devil." She said as she placed a hand on his shoulder. He only bent down to her eye level and gave her his smug 'you're going to tell me what I want to know' look.

"April. Where is she?" She sighed in defeat and took a few steps back.

"If I tell you, you have to promise not to go rushing out of the lair to go spy on her." Leo straightened himself, folded his arms across his chest and regarded her for a moment before finally speaking up.

"Fine, I promise I won't leave." He looked down at her with a smile that made her quite uneasy.

Ok so there it is. Please feel free to leave me some comments. I've only shown my stories to relatives, and would love to hear your opinions.

I will try to make the next one a bit longer.
