Ch 2 Leo's Dream.

Leo got back in bed and laid on his shell. His brother's words kept coming back to him. "It would be cool to go to High school." He thought. "And I would make a great president of the school." He let out a wide yawn. "I wonder if the president of the school does get to meet celebrities.

~Dream sequence~

"And don't forget the theme for this year's prom is a blast from the past. Let's give it up for our Prom committee and remember, for the rest of the school year, all seniors get a free slice of pizza, one free per day so don't forget to get your tickets for prom and passes for snacks!" He smiled as the students clapped. "See you all tonight for prom!"

"LEO! LEO!" Leo smiled as the whole student body cheered at his speech. He waved as he left the stage basking in the glow of the attention.

"How bout a picture for the year book Leo?" His brother Mikey held up a camera. Leo gave a thumbs up and a bright flash hit his eyes making his eyes blink rapidly to get rid of the dark spots.

"Leonardo." Leo turned and smiled. "Yes Principal Splinter?"

"That was a wonderful speech you made." The large brown rat complimented him. "It looks like the student body is behind you one hundred percent." Leo smiled as they walked down the hall. "I would like to speak with you later today about some of the things you spoke about."

"I will be available at your request Sir." Leo smiled and continued on his way to his locker.

"Very well, come to my office after six period." He told him.

Leo nodded and bid principal Splinter goodbye. He then opened his locker and began to remove some books. As he shut his locker he was surprised to see Karai standing there, a seductive smile on her face.

"Hello Leonardo." She said, her voice smooth and husky. "I like the speech you made, especially about the prom."

"Uh, thank you." Leo said, rather hesitantly.

Karai put her finger on Leo's plastron and he shuddered as the finger made it's way along his shoulder to his chest. "Have you got a date for the prom yet?"

"Gulp, ah no." Leo said nervously.

"I just brought a brand new black dress." She leaned forward and put her mouth to his ear. "It unzips very easily in the back." She whispered.

Leo's smile widen and his eyes got very big as she spoke. A slight tremor went through his body as her breath ghosted along his cheek. "Pick me up at seven." She told him. He nodded feeling his heart beat hard against his chest as she turned and left.

Fast forward to the afternoon and the bell ringing signaled the end of six period. Leo made his way to the principal's office. He walked in and was immediately escorted in to see Splinter. He smiled as Splinter shook his hand and gestured toward a chair which Leo sat in.

"You recall the letter you sent to a certain celebrity to show up to the graduation and be a spokesperson?" Splinter asked him.

"Did he reply?" Leo asked excitedly.

"Not only did he reply." Splinter said gesturing toward the corner of his office behind Leonardo.

Leo turned and held back a squeal of excitement as the figure of a man stood up and held a hand out. "Captain Ryan!" He quickly grabbed the man's hand and shook it vigorously. "It's such a pleasure to meet you!"

"The pleasure is all mine Leonardo." The captain said. "I'm looking forward to speaking at your graduation next week."

"Thank you sir..uh..Captain...uh...Captain Ryan." Leo stuttered shaking his hero's hand.

"And I have a pass for you and your family to take a tour of our station in NASA." He told him handing him four tickets. "Good for anytime this summer."

Leo's eyes widen and for the rest of the day into the night his smile never left. He was now at the prom with Karai who looked stunning in a gorgeous black gown that sparkled in the shimmering lights of the gymnasium. He felt like they were in the clouds as the two of them danced across the floor like Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.

"Well Mr. President." Karai looked at him with desire in her eyes. "Aren't you going to kiss me?"

Leo smiled and leaned toward her. Their mouths were just about to press together when Karai suddenly disappeared in front of him and he found himself falling toward the floor. Leo yelled as the floor rushed up to meet him. He was surprised to feel himself hit the floor hard and awoke to find himself on the floor of his bedroom, laying face down in his pillow and his blankets tangled up and wrapped around him.

He sat up and looked around blinking, slightly bewildered and disappointed as the dream ended. He sighed heavily and crawled back into bed. "Maybe I can pick up where I left off." He thought as he snuggled into his mattress and let out a tired hum.
