This is the first TMNT fanfiction that I have ever written. I mostly wrote it for fun, but I got the idea to write it for the Dream Date Con. This is my idea how would I like to spend my date with Mikey. And the words in Bold and supposed to be in my language and not in English. So that means Mikey doesn't understand them, since he only speaks English. Hope you like it!
Title: One in a Million
Mikey was sleeping as always on his sofa, when the loud voice of the TV woke him up. He stood up and went in the kitchen to get something to eat for himself. But something was wrong. It was very quiet.
"Where the shell is everyone else? Bet they're in their rooms."
With a jump he went directly to Raph's room hoping he would me there punching his sandbag. Mikey opened the door and entered the room but Raph was nowhere to be seen. He went at Leo's and Master Splinter's room but the same. There were nobody. The big turtle went at Don's laboratory.
-Dude, is anyone here?
The laboratory was empty to. Only different equipment and something big hidden under white sheet. Mikey went near and uncovered it. It was a big wall mirror but you couldn't see yourself in it. Instead it lighted a rainbow with colors in its screen. Mikey touched it not knowing what weird thing had Don now created. From his touch, the mirror released a white smoke underneath his feats. Mikey backed off but the smoke surrounded him and before he was completely in smoke, the mirror's colors changed and a city was shown, till Mikey disappeared.

-Oh come on Kel, you can't be serious!
-Yeah, you can have the most gorgeous guy in the school and you still go after fantasies!
-Gorgeous my ass! His personality sucks, and you are the ones who like him. And those aren't fantasies! He truly is my ideal.
-Kelly for God's sake you are sixteen now and you still see cartoons like TMNT!
-Yeah!
-Whatever, I'm outta here 'cuz I can't stand one more min with you talking like that.
-Kel!
Her friends called her, but she was so pissed that didn't mind them. In the mind of the raven girl were passing thoughts like what the heck is so strange? For PETE's sake, they aren't just cartoons. And I want a boyfriend with an interesting personality, not like this high and mighty guys we have in our school.
Her beautiful black hair shone in the light of sun as she make them in a lower ponytail, wore her motorbike's helmet and headed to the school's gate.
-Joshua, open the door! The lessons have already finished.
An old man at his fifties came out from the guard cabin.
-Kelly! Again with that motorbike! How many times should I tell you?
-I know, I know! I'm a lady so I should do lady like things. But Joshua we are already at years 2000. And please for today don't say more. I'm pissed and tired.
-Again with those friends of yours!
-Friends my a…
-A.a.a. please!
-Just open the doors!
-Okay, wait a minute.
The sliding big doors of the school opened with a strange noise.
-Bye Joshua!
-Good bye and be careful!
-As always, no! Ha-ha, see ya!
The exhaust echoed loudly and the speed went over 50 immediately. The only thing that could calm her down was the sound of speed and the adrenaline through-out her body. The feeling of being free from any emotion and to not think. The road is all yours, just take it.
She wasn't planning on going home so why not going for a ride? It was cool and refreshing. When she stopped to wait for the lights to go green, white smoke started to come out. Kel thought it was from some car, but none of them were broken. When the lights went green, the smoke went bigger but she didn't minded and accelerated. For an instant a figure came from nowhere and she stopped suddenly blocking all the crossroads. The drivers were shouting out loud making her lose patient.
-Move girl, move!
-Shut up old man! Don't you see there's a person in the middle! Yo, boy get outta there!
The smoke became thinner and the figure was cleared. A big turtle was standing in the middle of the way.
"Oh great! Now if it wasn't enough, a costplayer wanting to die!"
-Yo, big turtle MOVE!
- XX -
"What the… I can't see anything. Wait I'm hearing something. Klaxons' sounds? In Don's laboratory?"
-Shut up old man! Don't you see there's a person in the middle! Yo, boy get outta there!
"This is a female voice, but she isn't talking English. Now the smoke is becoming thinner."
Mikey not knowing what was happening found himself in the middle of a crossroad. He looked around but nothing he saw was familiar. And the writing on the shops' windows wasn't in English. Where the shell did he loose himself into?
-Yo, big turtle MOVE!
The same female voice talked to him. Mikey turned his head to see a gorgeous girl in her motorbike. He was stunned from what had happen that could say just a few words in whispers;
-Where am I?
-Uhu, are you listening? I told you to Move!
-What the shell are you speaking? I don't understand this Language!
Now he was screaming too and stood up from the floor he was kneeled at.
-Oh a foreigner! English, do you understand English at least?
-Yeah dudette! English is fine.
-Then MOVE!
-Ahhh?
-Get your ass out of the way! You're blocking the street and the police is coming.
-But I don't know where I am and don't understand your language.
-Do you have a death wish? Come on get on the bike, I'll send you where you belong, costplay freak!
She glared at him and make a sign to hurry up and get on. As soon as he settled on the bike, she headed full speed.
-Hold on tight!
-You could have said it sooner, uaah! Slow down!
He grabbed on her as hard as he could from the fear of falling down from that motorbike. She was more crazy than Raph riding that thing; was what passed through Mikey's head.
-I told hold on tight not suffocate me!
-What did you say? I can't hear you!
And it was true. The motor was making a lot of noise, but once she took the corner she stopped near a big park.
-Get off!
-Where are we?
-I said piss off! I'll tell you, just sit put there till I park my motorbike.
Mikey didn't complain and did as the young girl said him. He waited for one min or so, when a cute girl with long black hair and dark brown eyes sat near him. Mikey didn't recognize that was the same girl of the motorbike because she was wearing a helmet.
-So costplay freak, what are you doing here?
-Um, you're talking with me? –Mikey pointed at himself.
-Dahh, do you see anyone else around here? Did you have a death wish standing in the middle of a crossroad, and wearing that?
-Ahh, don't tell me you are the same girl? You look cuter without that helmet dudette!
Mikey smiled at her gently, making the girl blush a little. No one had ever told her she was cute with that kind tone.
-Well, yeah. I felt offended but since you added that I'm cute, I won't shout at you.
-Aren't we nice today!
-But I can't understand what the heck were you doing in the middle of a crossroad? I can understand that you're a foreigner, but still!
-I want to know too. I was in my brother laboratory when a white smoke surrounded me and I found myself there.
-Are you kidding me?
-Do I look like I'm kidding? Oh, by the way! I didn't say my name. I'm Michelangelo, but you cutie can call me Mikey.
No response. She had something that was troubling her, but she just stood there analyzed him with her sharp eyes. From the way he was wearing, he looked like someone out of TMNT, like 'him' and he had the same name.
-Now you're totally kidding!
-What?
-Don't tell me that back home you have three other turtle brothers called Leo, Don, and Raph, and a mouse for father that you call Master Splinter.
-Ahhh! How did you know? You can read minds, can't you?
"This guy is out of himself. Hmm, but I wanna verify what he is telling. Let's try undressing him to find out!"
-No, just a lucky guess. Can you came a little closer? You have dirt on your face.
-Really, where?
-Here,- she approached and saw an opening. - NOW. Let's see what's underneath this costume!
She practically jumped on him tearing his 'mask' off.
-Ouch, ouch! This isn't a costume. Ouch!
-Leave me to verify it!
She tried and tried but couldn't tear it off, and poor Mikey was in a lot of pain.
-Have you glued it! Um… Wait… I cut it. Blood? Skin? Real shell? This isn't a costume?
-That's what I was trying to tell ya. – He turned and saw Kelly speechless. -Oh great, now she is going to freak out.
Mikey slapped his forehead as she stay immobile for some second. But then she spoke, turning his attention towards her.
-A. Real. Mutant. Ninja. Turtle. Ah…
-Please, no no no! Don't scream!
-AHHHH! Awesome! I always knew you existed!
-Um… What did you say? You aren't freaking out!
-I don't understand. Why should I ?
-A giant turtle walking in two feet and talking like a normal human. Pff… it's something you can see every day. Nothing big!
-Oh, really I didn't notice. *Said sarcastically - Sign* Of course I know it isn't normal, but this ain't a reason to freak out, is it?
-Then, you don't think I'm a freak?
-Well firstly I thought you were a costplayer FREAK, but now not really.
-Ha-ha, most of the people we have met, have judged us from our appearance. Why aren't you?
-At least your personality doesn't sucks! Those kind of people are blinded from appearance that can't see the true form of someone's soul.
Mikey made a relieved sign. He was happy that he finally found someone who understood him perfectly, and by her tone he knew she wasn't saying it out of pity. Like she knew that feeling herself.
-By the way, nice to meet you Mikey. I'm Kelly. Can you tell me what happened to you?
Mikey explain from when he wake up till he met her. How he couldn't find anybody, and described Don's machine. She stood there without saying a word until he finished his story.
-Well, in my opinion, that mirror has send you to my world, but this kind of machines have time limits. In other words I think you won't stay here for long.
-Till then, what should I do?
When he said those words, an idea strike Kelly's mind like a bullet. She said why not.
-Then go on a date me!
-A…A date?
-Yeah, near here is an amusement park. We can go and spend the day there.
-Can you really show in public with me?
-Again with this, then no prob! If someone ask, I'll tell them you are a Japanese friend of mine, which loves costplaying. Now come!
She took his hand and dragged him with her till the amusement park. It was so big they didn't knew where to start. But she dragged him again to play taking down the cans. They both won and were fighting which bear was cuter, the blue or the yellow one.
Then they went near a children's show. All the children there went around Mikey, and he did stupid stuff and acrobatic jumps making the children and Kelly laugh out loud.
They wanted to eat cotton candy or sweet caramel apples. But as the last choice they decided for the irreplaceable popcorns.
-Yeah, Mikey!
-Yes?
-I bet that you can't catch with your mouth the popcorns if I throw them to you.
-Of course I can, but you. No-no, I think you CAN'T!
-Oh then how about we make a little bet.
-I'm ready for anything dudette!
-Then how loses will do one thing for the winner. It's it a deal!
-Yes, but you can't beck off even though you're a girl.
-Same for you. Sure you want regret it later?
-Do you think I'm someone who can't keep his word!
-Then who catches five or more out of ten wins. You start first boy.
She threw one after another the popcorns, and he caught six of them. Kelly started laughing because he looked just like a turtle-chicken.
-Can you do best?
-Well, let me give it a try.
Mikey did the same and threw the popcorns directly to her mouth, but she did better. She ate seven of them.
-You should be a professional at this.
-Come on! Don't back up now!
-Hey how told you that! I was just saying. Then what do you want me to do.
-Let me think! ... I know! It wouldn't me a date without a kiss.
-K…Kiss?
-Don't be shy! Here, -she pointed her cheek. –Give me a kiss here and say that even though I'm a girl, I'm stronger than you.
-Yes ma'am…
-Miss, please!
-Yes, MISS∼ You are stronger than me even though you are a girl, -he kissed her gently on her cheek, which felt really soft and hot.
-Um…
-What is it Kelly?
-Well, you don't have much experience in kissing, do you?
Mikey turned red not knowing what to answer.
-When a girl asks you to kiss her, even in the cheek, you don't just do it like smooch and take it short. You do it smooooooch.
-Eh, a…a long kiss? We'll this is the first date I have ever had, so dunno!
-I'll tell you a secret, but don't tell anyone. This is my first date too with a guy.
They looked shyly at each other for a sec.
-It's impossible. Now you are the one kidding. You're so cute, so a lot of guys should like you.
-My luck is just terrible. All the guys who like me, have had sucking personalities. You're the first one I'm having a good time.
-Please don't say more. I'm the emotional time.
-Let's live the emotional part for later and have fun!
"She looks just like a kid, but I'm comfortable. And she doesn't mind my appearance, even though she is so adorable! I'm starting to like her, VERY MUCH!"
They went all over the place. Not to forget the frightening Rollercoaster. They couldn't stop screaming from the amazing speed, and when they got off, Mikey told Kelly that her driving the motorbike was heaven in compare to that. She just shook her head in agreement.
Those two tired from all that walking around sat on a bench in the middle of a little square there. During it, a man in ninja theatrical clothes, who was recruiting children to see the show, popped behind and startled Mikey, who misunderstood him for a real ninja and started kicking his ass with ninjutsu. Kelly pissed off from Mikey's misunderstanding, punched him on the head really hard.
-What the heck are you doing Mikey?
-Well, he came from behind, so I…
-You what? You thought he was going to attach you in the middle of an amusement park full of people. Do you know how to use that brain of yours?
-Sorry, I've left that job to Don, and he does it very well!
She slapped her forehead from his damn stupidity.
-What's going on here? Why are you interrupting his job? Do you want to call your parents?
-I'm really sorry sir! This won't happen never again. He is a foreigner from Japan. You know Japanese people like ninja and samurai. He didn't know.
-You can go, since you brought children to see the show, but this thing do not happen ever again.
-Yes, thank you sir!
Kelly grabbed Mikey and they left that square. She was way too tired, but she was feeling happier than ever. But then when she thought he couldn't stay, she wore a sad look.
-Did everything go fine?
-Yeah, but not with your help.
-Sorry, It was all my fault. Don't look so sad. Cheer up!
-That's not the reason, is just 'cuz I'm a little, LITTLE tired. Then what's next?
-Shouldn't you rest? –As he said, she glared and had a it's-nothing-go-ahead look.
-So what do you suggest?
-I wanted to see this world's comic books.
-Comic books? "That is equal to TMNT, and if he finds it, good bye my date! Um… Think Kelly, think. It's sunset. I know something romantic." But I want to go the Ferris wheel.
-Can't we do it later?
-No, I wanna now.
-But I want to see the comic books.
-Then the winner in Rock Paper Scissor will decide what to do.
-Another game? Okay! Fine by me. No one can defeat me in this game!
-We'll see. One. Two. Three. Rock.
-Paper. Mikey wins, see!
-We'll do it until 3. Okay?
-Come on! One. Two. Three. Paper.
-Scissor. Kelly wins. Let's continue. One. Two. Three. Scissor.
-Rock. Mikey the great wins again. The last shot. One. Two. Three. Scissor.
-Rock. Now we are equal your greatness! *Stick out tongue* One. Two. Three. Paper.
-Rock. I lost. I lost? I LOST! I can't believe it.
-Better believe it. Now let's go to the Ferris wheel. Hurry up turtle!
-Hey! Wait there, little black rabbit!
- XX -
-Two tickets please!
-Here, you have them! 300 leke cost.
-Thanks!
The man opened the door to one of the Ferris wheel cabin. I was small, but comfortable for two people. They could see all of her city up there. And the sun's colors turned from yellow, to orange, to a sweet pink, and to a scarlet red. The cloud were like the borders of that fascinating painting that mother nature only can create.
Kelly stared a little at now orange face of Mikey. She still couldn't believe that she had spent that day all alone with him. And Mikey noticed her staring and searched for her deep brown eyes.
-What is it Kel?
-I wanted to ask did you like the time spent together?
-No, I didn't like it. I loved it.
-And I love you.
-Eh?
-I'm sorry Mikey, but the truth is that in this world you are only a personage of a cartoon which I love seeing. That's how I knew about your brothers. All my friends have a boyfriend and want for me to have one, but since the day I saw your personage in TV, I thought that you were my perfect type.
-But Kelly, I'm just a giant turtle, a frea…
-Michelangelo! Sometimes it's not the physical aspect that attracts us, but their ways of making things. I have never felt this comfortable with any other guy in all my life, and there are long, very long years. I don't care if you are a turtle, mouse or snail. Well, snail maybe not, but the thing that I'm trying to say is that I love you, and this date with you was like an one in a million chance for me.
-Um… Uhh… I mean… Um…
-Just shut up, Mikey-boy!
She grabbed him for last time and pulled him towards her. In an instant, Kelly's eyes met Mikey's and her lips his. He didn't reject her, but hold Kelly in his arm like she was going to break. And Kelly felt his body starting to grew hotter. She couldn't understand if he was blushing are was the light of the sunset making his face color like that. But in just one moment, as the clock strike eight o'clock, the magic of that moment vanished in thin white smoke.
- XX -
-Last call! This is the last turn of the Ferris wheel. Please everybody direct towards the gates! Repeat: Last call!
"For some reasons, I don't want to go home than ever. This day seem like a dream, a beautiful dream. My still I'm happy. It was an one in a million chance and it happened to me, only to ME. But I feel something is missing, and it wasn't the kiss. This time he did good, a great smoooooch. Ha-ha! But I was afraid to get an answer. I still don't won't to hear it, because why should a person like him fall for me. At least he said he was happy staying with me."
A single tear fall from her trembling eyes, and she wanted to ride her bike so she could be free from the sadness of not talking to him ever again.
-XX-
Mikey found himself again at Don's laboratory holding in emptiness. He went to look for his brothers so he could tell them what happened. But instead he found April sitting on the sofa.
-Ah April! Have you seen Don, Raph and Leo?
-They said they were going patrolling. Why? What happened?
-You won't believe this…
-XX-
Kelly's days flew like always, but she was listless. She refused to forget what happened that fateful day to her. The time stroke again but this time was to announce something good. TMNT was starting and that day was being aired a special new extra episode that Kelly was impatient to see.
Kelly's eyes wide opened when the episode started. It was that day aired on TV. How was it possible? It showed ever detail. Their meeting, her bike, her trying to rip off his 'costume', their fight about the bears, popcorns, and Rock Paper Scissor, the Ferris wheel, and her embarrassing confession. Everything. And now the time for the ending.
-Mikey, wake up! You have hours that you have been sleeping.
-Raph-boy, I'm having a beautiful dream. Go play with that girlfriend of a sandbag!
-That's enough!
Raph jumped and punched Mikey as hard as he could to make him awake.
-Raph, Mikey, what are you doing?
-What does it look Don? He's trying to kill me. Uh… -Mikey started to look around for something or maybe someone.
-What's wrong Mikey?
-Where's Kelly?
-Who?
-The raven girl, who was with me at the Ferris wheel.
-Are you that lonely that you are dreaming for some girl?
-She isn't just some girl, she's special. And I wasn't dreaming.
-Yeah right! Ha-ha, it was funny. Now stop kidding around.
-She said the same thing,-he whispered remembering. -I'm not joking. She was real, at least for me.
Mikey sat on the sofa again feeling a bit empty.
-Are you serious, Mikey? Are you feeling all right?
-No, I'm feeling regret. Regret not giving her an answer.
-Mikey!
Down Mikey's cheek felt a crystal clear tear. He was starting to miss her and regret.
-I would have hoped to tell her that I felt in love with her. Ouch!
Raph poked Mikey in his forehead.
-Stop daydreaming. Leave your dreams when you go to sleep.
-Hey… I'm serious here.
-Yeah, yeah! Let's go patrolling!
On the other part, Kelly was blushing till her ears and had sank her head in one of the pillow. She stayed like that till the blushing passed and raised her head a little just to see Mikey again once more. Her words wasn't heard, because of the pillow, but she whispered from the bottom of her heart;
-I wanted to record it! But most importantly, I love you, Mikey!
How did you found it? I hope it was funny and lovely!
