Trick or Treat
Chapter I: Beginnings

"Alright Venus. Which one do you wanna watch tonight?" Raphael held up two tapes in front of her.
Venus looked at the two tapes. She had to choose between Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter or Nightmare on Elm Street Part V. She had no plans of watching either.
"Well Vee, which one?"
"Neither." Venus said disgusted. She didn't want to watch any bloody horror movies. "Can't we watch something else?"
"It's Halloween." Raphael explained. "It's like a tradition to watch a horror movie."
"I don't like those types of movies."
"Vee, how do you know you don't like them if you never watched them?"
"I don't like horror movies, Raph."
"You watched the Scream movies." Raphael watched Venus turn from him. "You're scared, aren't you?"
"I'm not scared." Venus boasted. "I just don't like those movies, that's all." She tried to explain.
Raphael shook his head. She's scared. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck. "I'll protect you, baby."
"I know you will." Venus turned in his arms and gave him a kiss. "Just what is going to protect me from you?" She giggled as Raphael continued to kiss her. She knew that he planned to do more than watch a movie tonight as he slowly began to back her up onto their bed.
"RAPH!"
Raphael rolled his eyes and mumbled to himself. ' Damnit Leo. What the hell you want now?'
"I'll be back." Raphael told Venus as he stood up.
"Alright." She replied and began to play with the end of her bandanna.
Raphael walked out the room and began looking for Leonardo. "What Leo?" He snapped when he found him.
"Splinter, Donnie, and I are going on a retreat for the next few days."
'Good.' Raphael thought to himself.
"Mikey and Mondo Gecko are going to be staying here with you and Venus."
"OK, so." Raphael knew his brother wasn't finished.
"So don't get in any trouble." Leonardo gave him a look as he rolled his eyes. "We want the lair in one piece when we get back."
"Alright, geez. Can't you trust me?"
Leonardo gave him another look. He didn't really trust his brother. Raphael always got into some sort of a mess with the Rank or the Foot clan.
"Ready Leo?" Donatello called from the door with Splinter beside him.
"I'm coming." Leonardo called back, then he turned to Raphael. "Just don't get in trouble, alright."
"Alright." Raphael snapped. "Damnit Leo. You don't have to lecture me. I'm not a baby."
Leonardo ignore his brother's remark and grabbed his backpack. Then, he, Donatello, and Splinter left the lair.
'Why does Leo have to be such an ass?' Raphael mumbled as he headed back to his and Venus' room.
Venus remained sitting on the edge of the bed until Raphael got back. When he entered the room, she could tell he was now in a bad mood.
"What did he want?"
"You know Leo." Raphael griped. "He's got to jump on my case even if I do nothing. Sometimes, I think he even enjoys it."
Yeah, she knew Leo alright. "He's just trying to watch out for his younger brother. I'm sure he doesn't mean to do it on purpose.
'Whatever' Raphael thought to himself. 'Thank God Leo will be gone for the next few days.'
"So," Venus said, trying to change the subject. "What are these movies about?" She asked as she held up the tapes.
'So, she changed her mind.' Raphael thought and began to tell her a little about each movie.
Casey walked with Shadow up to April's apartment on the 5th floor. It was 3:00 in the afternoon; Shadow had just gotten off of school and was still wearing her costume from her Halloween party at school.
"Can I have another candy, Daddy?" Shadow asked and held up a tootsie roll.
"One more, and that's it until after dinner."
Excited, Shadow quickly unwrapped the candy and shoved it in her mouth.
Casey took out his keys and unlocked the door to April's apartment. To his surprise, she was not home. Then, he found a note.
Casey,
I was called into work to cover some stories on Trick or Treating Safety. I won't be able to take Shadow out Trick or Treating tonight.
Please call me when you get back to you apartment.
Love April
'Damn' Casey whispered under his breath. He had to be at work in two hours. Now who was going to take Shadow Trick or Treating.
While Casey was reading the note, Shadow occupied herself with playing with Klunk, her Uncle Michaelangelo's cat. She stroked his soft fur and he began to purr.
"Guess what Klunk?" She said to the purring cat. "Tonight's Halloween."
Klunk continued to purr.
"I would take you Trick or Treating with me and Ms. April, but you're not a black cat." She scratched the ears of the grayish white hair Klunk. He purred and allowed her to continue. "I'm a witch this Halloween, and witches have black cats. To bad you're not a black cat; you'd have so much fun."
Casey watched as Shadow talked to Klunk about Halloween. She really wanted to go Trick or Treating. He looked at the clock. It was 3:10; he had to be at the bar for 5:00/ 'Damn drunks on Halloween.' He thought to himself. 'If he didn't have to "bounce" their ass out of the bar all night, he could take his daughter Trick or Treating."
"Come on Shadow." Casey called his daughter. "It's time to get back home."
Shadow kissed Klunk on the forehead and grabbed her schoolbag and candy. She grabbed her father's hand and they walked out the door.
Casey locked the door and they went downstairs to the 4th floor where his apartment was.
