First Date

Yuki groaned as she shifted in bed. She rolled onto her stomach and blindly felt for Raph. When she couldn't find him, she lifted up to find him gone. "Raph?"

She wondered where he was. The clock caught her eyes. It was five minutes after two in the afternoon. She blinked at the clock then crawled out of bed. She heard Raph cursing off future objects, again, as she walked into the kitchen. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes as she leaned against Leo's side. "You alright, baby girl? You slept in kinda late."

"Yeah. I'm fine," Yuki replied. "What's going on?"

"Nothing. Raph is just having another disagreement with future technology," Leo replied.

"I hate the future!" Raph cried out.

"Hey, Yuki, can you calm that guy down before trashes this place?" Mikey asked.

"Uh," Yuki thought for a second before grabbing Raph's arm. "Come on, Raphie. Let's, uh, go outside."

"They really are cute together," Cody said.

"Hey, do them two get married or what?" Mikey asked.

"Not that again," Don shook his head. "You know Cody can't tell us what's going to happen."

"I know. But give me a little hint," Mikey grinned. "What happens to them?"

"Sorry, Mikey," Cody shrugged.

"Ah," Mikey whined.

Yuki pulled Raph up to the roof. They sat down and leaned against the wall. "You ok?"

"Yeah," Raph nodded as he stretched out his right leg, he kept his left bent up. Yuki had her arms wrapped around his and leaning against his side. "I just really wanna go home."

"Well, look at it this way," Yuki said and he looked at her. "As long as we're here Li can't return and take me back to Japan."

"Hm, never thought of that," Raph smirked then leaned in and kissed her.

"We've just been cooped up to much here...HEY! I know!"

"What?"

"Let's go on a date!"

"Huh?"

"Yeah. We've never been on a real date before. And here you can walk out in the day. We can go to dinner, dancing, maybe a movie? Come on? Please? Will you? For me?"

"Yuki, I'd do anything for you," Raph smiled at her.

"Really?" Yuki asked. Raph nodded. Yuki squealed and threw her arms around his neck. "You're so sweet! I love you!"

Yuki leaped up and headed back inside. "Hey! Where are you going?"

"I've gotta call Starlee," Yuki said as she poked her head back out the door. "I don't have a clue what to wear on a date. This is so exciting!"

...

Raph hummed to himself as he slipped on his red tux and adjusted his tie. Mikey and Don watched him with peak curiosity. Mikey looked at Don. "Is he really humming to himself?"

"Yeah," Don nodded. "I think he's actually looking for to this. Stuffy tux and all."

"And where are you taking Yuki this evening?" Leo asked in his big brother tone.

"Cody made reservations for us at this really nice restaurant," Raph replied.

"Does this place serve 'drinks'?" Leo asked.

"It's not that kind of place, Leo. This particular restaurant was founded for everyone of all ages. It's the perfect place for a first date," Cody said.

"Gentlemen, of all species and robotics," Starlee announced as she struck the right poses. "I give you the new and improved, Yuki!"

The guys all gasped as Yuki stepped into the room. She was wearing an arabic style light blue dress. Her hair was curled and pulled up like a bouquet of flowers that trailed down. She spun for them. "What do you think? To much?"

"Wow! Yuki's a girl!" Mikey squeaked.

"Ya think?" Don replied as they continued to stare at their little girl.

"Very lovely, my child," Splinter said as she circled her. "You are no more the little girl."

"I guess," Yuki said as she slightly blushed.

"He's right. You are no longer that little girl that dropped unexpectedly into our lives," Leo said as he gave her a hug, he whispered in her ear. "You are a beautiful young woman."

"Thanks, aniki," Yuki replied with a hug of her own.

"You better get going," Leo said as he pulled away from her. They all looked at Raph, who was still stunned at the way she looked. "Uh, Raph?"

"He's speechless," Mikey pointed out as he waved a hand in front of Raph's face. Everyone laughed.

"Come on," Yuki said as she grabbed her boyfriend's arm and dragged him to the limo.

"Don't stay out to late now," Splinter shouted as they left.

Raph finally snapped out of it once they got into the limo. They headed to the restaurant and enjoyed one of the best dinners of their lives. Cody had the restaurant set them in a corner of the room with a candlelit table and their meal was quickly brought to them. The two indulged in pleasant conversation as they ate.

There was a live band and a snack refreshment bar. The band played a different variety of music. Soon they played dancing music and Yuki couldn't sit still anymore. She grabbed Raph's hand. "Come on!"

"Hold on! I'm a ninja! I can't dance!"

"Oh, Raph! You're a ninja! Of course you can dance!" Yuki chuckled at the fearful look on his face. She drug him to the middle of the dance floor and placed on of his hands on her waist and held the other in her hand. "Besides, you protect me on the battle field. I can protect you here. Just follow my lead then take over when you get the hang of it."

"Ok. But don't yell at me if this ends up badly," Raph said. Yuki began to step with the flow of the music. Raph kept his eyes down on the floor, as if watching their feet would help him. Soon he lifted his eyes and looked at her.

"See? This isn't so bad, now is it?"

"No. Then, nothing with you is ever bad," Raph pulled Yuki closer and took the lead. As the two swirled about the dance floor, other couples stopped and watched them. Their moves became bigger and bolder. Soon the music stopped and the two leaned in for a kiss but was interrupted by everyones applause. Raph blushed and scratched the back of his head. "Oh. Uh, I kinda forgot where we were."

"Yeah," Yuki nodded. "Me too."

Yuki waited until everyone went back to their own business before kissing Raph on the cheek. "I'll be right back."

"I'll be here," Raph said as she walked away from him and disappeared into the crowd. Raph took a deep breath and let it out. He walked over to the bar and ordered a cold soda. He sat down on a stool and sipped the drink gratefully. He wasn't sure if he was hot from all that dancing or from almost kissing Yuki with a restaurant full of people watching.

"You got some pretty fancy moves there," A tall slender alien with dark green skin, long black hair, light purple eyes, wearing a form hugging red dress, cut short and matching high heels, sat down on the stool next to Raph.

"Thanks. It was really my girlfriend, though. I don't know anything about dancing," Raph replied.

"I think you handled yourself just fine," She said as she ran her hand down his arm.

"Oh?"

"Yeah. You've got some pretty fancy moves, turtle boy," She slid off her stool and stood next to him, leaning against his side a bit. "I'm Chai."

"Raphael," Raph replied as he eyeballed her curiously.

"Why don't you and me get out of here, huh?"

"Sorry. I already have a girlfriend."

"That little girl? She to much of a child for you. You need a woman like me. I can show you moves like you've never seen before," Chai said as she ran her finger over the neck of her dress. She pulled out a card and handed it to him. "I own a dance studio close by here."

"Really?" Raph asked as he took the card and looked at it. "I've heard of this place. You've choreographed for several movies. Your studio is quite impressive."

"Why, thank you," Chai said as she wrapped her arm around his shoulders. "I could use someone of your talent in my studio."

"Is that so?" Raph smiled.

"Yeah. There is so much I could teach you. And I'm sure there's lots of stuff you can teach me," Chai said as she leaned down to kiss him.

"A-H-E-M!" The two turned to see Yuki standing there, hands on her hips and glaring fire.

"Oh, it's you," Chai said as she pulled away from Raph.

"Yuki!" Raph stood up. "It's not what you think!"

"What I think is that you are actually flirting with this tramp!" Yuki hissed. "I don't believe you!"

"Yuki, it's not..."

"So what if he was?" Chai asked. "He's a big boy. He can do what he wants."

"He's half your age, you ol' hag!" Yuki spat.

"Who you calling old, you little brat?" Chai grabbed Yuki by the front of the dress. Yuki pushed Chai's arms away from her and used her powers to knock the woman back into the bar. "What the heck?"

"Back off!" Yuki hissed as her powers flared.

"Whoa! Easy, Yuki. Come on now. We weren't serious," Raph said as he jumped in front of Yuki.

"Hn. Whatever," Yuki powered down and walked away. Raph looked back at Chai before following after Yuki.

...

"I wonder how the lovebirds are doing," Mikey said as his eyes were glued to a comic. As if to be right on cue, they heard a door slam and Raph whining. "Huh?"

"Come on, Yuki. You know I wasn't being serious with her," Raph said as they entered the living room.

"You still were flirting openly with her!" Yuki barked. "I can't believe you did that!"

"You flirted with another girl?" Don asked.

"No! Not a girl! A woman who's like fifty years older that he is!" Yuki replied.

"Come on, Yuki. She's not that old," Raph said and she glared at him.

"So glad I don't have to deal with this kind of thing," Serling sighed. "The joys of being a robot."

"Please, Yuki, don't be mad at me," Raph pleaded. "You know I only love you."

"Humph," Yuki shoved her nose in the air and stormed off to her room.

"You sure done it now," Mikey said as Raph sunk down to the floor. Splinter couldn't help but smile as he continued his meditation. Everyone, but Leo, gathered around Raph to hear the whole story about what happened. Leo slipped away from them and followed after Yuki.

"Yuki?" Leo asked carefully as he opened her bedroom door and stepped in. "Are you alright?"

"Huh? Of course I am," Yuki smiled brightly at him.

"Uh," Leo blinked in confusion for a while before it dawned on him what was really going on. He smacked his forehead and sat down on her bed. "Oh man! This is so mean!"

Yuki just continued to grin.
