It was Leo's worst nightmare, the daughter of his father's arch enemy just showed up out if the blue. Sarah has never seen Leo look so scared before. "Leo? Do you know her?" "Actually we do. So are you his girlfriend? Heh, I didn't know she was your type." He glared at Karai but then Leo calmed himself down and turned his head back to he girlfriend. "Um, Sarah could you excuse us, this won't take long." "O-okay." Leo rose up while staring down at Karai. They walked to the other side of the restaurant leaving Sarah curious. Murikama stepped up to her with two cups of green tea and said, "On the house." "Oh...um...thanks." He sets them down on the table. "Do not worry Sarah-San. Leo-San's heart belongs to you." What Murakami said was true and it made her feel so relived, but Sarah is more worried about Leo.
Meanwhile, Leo and Karai were "catching up". "What are you doing here?!" "Uh, picking up my dinner? Duh." "There are over a hundred Japanese restaurants and you picked this one? Why? And don't say it's closer to where you live." "Okay, I'll admit, I have been hearing that you have been hanging around with a human girl and it made me curious. So what's her name? Sarah is it?" Leo growled lightly at her with anger. "Must've hit another nerve? Or was the same nerve I hit the first time we met." "Karai, if you ever go near Sarah..." "Relax shell boy, she doesn't interest me." Murikama placed a bag of food, with Karai's name on the front, on top of the counter. Karai grabbed it and left some cash. "Keep the change." Before she left, Karai gave Leo a sinister glance and walked out the door. That look gave Leo chills.
Later that night, Leo walked Sarah home while looking around in case someone might be following them. "Leo? Are you okay? You seem a bot paranoid." Leo wanted to tell her that Karai is part of the Foot Clan but he didn't want to scare her. "No, everything is fine. I wanted to make sure we weren't being stocked." "By that Karai girl?" His eyes bugged out in amazement. "The way you looked at her I kind if sensed you two had a history." "We kinda did, but it wasn't anything romantic. Let's just say, are interests on ninjistu are bit...well...different." Sarah gave him a 'I know there is more' look. Leo sighed and said, "Okay Sarah, here's the thing. Karai's from the Foot Clan. At first I thought I sensed something good about but I guess I got it confused with infatuation. But it's alright because she and I are enemies and that is that. Also she has lots of issues, lots of issues." She could tell by his tone that Karai hurt him but he wasn't ready to tell. She hugged Leo to comfort him. He sighed softly and sweetly.
They arrived at Sarah's house. "Well, here we are." Leo said. "Yep." Sarah replied. There was a short pause until she said, "Oh, before I forget I want to show you something." Sarah pulled out four pieces of paper from her purse and held them out to him. Leo's eyes widened more. "Are those...?" "Two tickets to the Space Heroes Convention this Saturday and Sunday and VIP passes to meet the cast of the tv show? Why yes, yes they are." "No way! Those tickets have been sold out for weeks! How did you get them?!" "One of my mom's clients happens to run special events. I told her I have a friend who is a big Space Heroes fan. I was thinking maybe you and I can go." Leo was so happy he picked her up and spun her around a few times. "I'll take that as a yes." Sarah said with a giggle. After they calmed down a little, Leo and Sarah were about to kiss each other until the porch light went off. "I thought your mom was working late tonight." "I guess she decided to come home early." He quickly kissed her on the lips and took off before Sarah's mom saw him. She giggled lightly and waved goodbye to Leo before she headed inside.
Leo was able to make it back to the lair without being seen. The lovestruck leader was humming a happy tune when he jumped over the turn tables. His brothers were hanging out thin the living room; Donatello on his laptop as usual, Michelangelo watching an old school sci-fi flick, and Raphael punching "The Shredder" dummy. Mikey noticed Leo's attitude. "Hey Leo, you look cheerful more than usual. Did something happen?" "Yes Mikey, something did. Sarah is taking yours truly to a Space Heroes Convention this weekend." The excitable cute younger brother jumped onto his feet and said, "Your girlfriend and Space Heroes together for the first time? Dude! That's the best thing that has happened since the creation of a cookie pizza!" "Over exaggerating much Mikey?" Donatello asked rhetorically. "Sorry Don, I'm just happy for Leo." "I swear when Sarah showed me those tickets I almost asked her for her hand in marriage." Don and Mikey were dumbstruck when Leo said that and then he laughed. "I know it's silly but I'm just so happy. Not because of the convention but because Sarah was thinking about me." "Honestly bro, I wouldn't be surprised if you did. You two do make a cute couple." Mikey said but then Donatello replied, "Leo and Sarah are too young for marriage." "Enough!" Raphael yelled as he punched the dummy one more time causing the chain to break and it fell on the floor with a thump. Everyone became silent. Raph breathed heavily and marched toward his room. He slammed the door loudly. "Awkward." Mikey commented.
Meanwhile at Foot Headquaters, Karai was in her father's study looking up on old ninja techniques when she came across something that caught her eye. She grinned in a mischievous way. "This should spice things up."
