Chapter 4

"Dude c'mon. She's practically been begging you to ask her on a date." Said Mikey.

The guys were in Donnies lab and were pressuring Raph into asking Cristen out.

"No she hasn't."

"Come on! Why not?" Egged Donnie.

"Why dont you go on and ask April out."

Donnie gulped and Raph crossed his arms over his chest.

"Look. We're just friends. I don't want to make it wierd."

"Raph, everyone sees the way you look at her. It doesn't seem like your happy being 'just friends'" said Leo.

Raph sighed. He peeked out of the lab and saw Cristen sitting in the floor in a stradle watching tv. He turned back to see the grins on his brothers faces and sighed.

"...fine. But only so you guys will shutup."

He took a deep breath and walked out of the lab. When he got close enough Cristen twisted her head and smiled brightly when she saw him.

"Hey Raph."

"Hey."

She turned back to the tv and Raph stood there not knowing how to proceed. After a few moments she turned her head to look at him.

"Are you gonna sit down?"She asked raising her eyebrows.

"Umm...I." He mumbled looking down.

She stood up, her brow furrowed in concern.

"Raphie? Are you ok?"

She started to step towards him when he squeezed his eyes shut and blurted out.

"Will you go on a date with me."

She stopped in her tracks and face instantly reddend. Raph cracked and eye open and took a deep breath.

"I thought mabye." He said reaching back to rubb the back of his neck. "That we could. You know. Go and grab a bite to eat sometime. Just the two of us."

By this time Raphs face was closer to the color of his mask than the natural green. He looked at the girl who hadn't uttered a word and sighed. He knew this was stupid she would never feel that way for him. As he turned to leave she finally spoke up.

"I'd love to."

He snapped his head back towards her.

"Really?"

She smiled shyly and tucked a stray hair behind her ear.

"Yeah."

A smile slowly spread across Raphs face.

"How about tommorow? On that building that has the garden in the top."

"Sure. I'm going home with April tomorow so I'll see you at.."

"10."

"10 it is." She said sitting back down.

Raph turned around and walked back into the lab.

"So?" Donnie said expectingly.

"Did she say yes."

Raph crossed his arms and looked at his brothers. Before flipping onto a table and shouting.

"Yes!"

The boys cheered loudly and Cristen smirked and rolled her eyes from her spot in front of the tv a slight blush still tinting her cheeks.
