Angel: I'm really excited to do this one! *squeals*
Leo: Why?
Angel: *blushes* N-No reason…this was requested by Langel.
Summary: Amy and Leo celebrate the happiest day of their lives. Amy and Leo are aged up in this one.
Will You Be Mine by Ruff Endz (LOVE this song!)
Amy takes a deep breath. She could not believe it was today, and neither could her friends. She was so nervous, she might die of sweat. She was currently in one of the bedrooms at the farmhouse. She and Leo agreed to have this special day here, because neither of them wanted it in the sewers. They wanted a calm, peaceful scenery. Also, no one else was out here, so they could celebrate in secret. April chuckles as she brushes her hair. "Tense, huh?" she asks. The 18-year-old woman nods. "It's not uncommon to be nervous on a day like this," she answers shakily as she looks at herself in the mirror. She was kinda scared…what if something goes wrong? April smiles at her. "Hey, everything's going to be fine. And as your maid of honor, I have to make sure you don't spaz out," she replies. Amy snorts. "Easy for you to say. You're not getting married," she mutters. April blushes. She had starting dating Donnie ever since last year. Ann turns to her. "Relax, girl. It's your special day! You should be happy!" she remarks. Amy groans. "I know…I'm just shocked that today's the day," she answers. Well, to say she was shocked was an understatement.
April pulls out a curling iron and starts curling Amy's hair. "I'm sure Leo would want you to just calm down and stop freaking out," she tells her gently. Amy looks at her and smiles. "Thanks," she replies. Casey's little sister, Ashley (A/N: I couldn't find the name, so I just made one up) smiles from behind. "Yeah! Cheer up, Amy!" she shouts. When she had found out her brother was friends with giant turtles and a rat master, she didn't know what to think at first. But when she saw that they were not going to hurt her, she got used to them. "Done!" April exclaims as the other girls come to see what she had done. "Whoa…" Jamie replies. Amy had half her hair down while the other half was up, which was held by a rose clip. "You did great, April!" Lily exclaims. April smiles and pulls out a makeup kit.
"Make-up time!" all the girls shout. Amy laughs. Maybe this day won't turn out to be so bad…
Leo was anxious. VERY anxious.
While he could not believe today was the day, he was also in panic. Leo looks around outside the farmhouse nervously. There was a white walkway and the chairs had roses on the sides. Leo was under a large white arch, which was covered in cherry blossoms. He and Amy had agreed on a Japanese/Traditional wedding. The decorations would be Japanese-themed, while the food would be traditional. Mikey looks at him and tilts his head near Leo's ear. He was wearing a beige tux with an orange bow tie. "Dude, you're starting to sweat," he whispers. Leo looks down and sees sweat spots on his tux, which was black with a blue bow tie. "Agh!" he shouts and tries to wipe them off. Casey sighs. "Mikey…" he murmurs. If Raph was here right now, he would smack his little brother. But since he is the best man, he's in the farmhouse, waiting for his cue. Leo picked Raph to be the best man, or turtle, because he knew Leo more than his brothers did. It was a hard decision, but his two younger brothers were not upset about it. Donnie shakes his head. He was wearing a beige tux with a purple bow tie. "Leo, chill. It's only your wedding day," he tells him. Leo turns to him. "EXACTLY, Donnie. What if I mess up? What if something goes wrong?" he replies in fear. Casey snickers. He was wearing a beige tux, but with a black bow tie. "You've been dating Amy for, like, three years. I'm sure everything will be fine," Casey replies. Leo inhales slowly. He looks at the crowd. Mutants like Pigeon Pete, Leatherhead, Malachi, and Muckman were there. There were also humans like Karai (A/N: She's not mutated in this one), Amy's father, and Kurtzman. Amy's father had been found a year after the turtle and human had started dating. And as for her mother…she died three years ago, just before Amy turned 16. Leo takes a deep breath. They were right. Nothing could go wrong today…
Hopefully.
"Is everyone ready?" Mr. O'Neil asks. He would be the minister for this special day. Leo looks at Splinter, who nods. This would be his greatest mission yet…even though it had nothing to do with Shredder or the Kraang. The music starts and April walks down first, with Raph next to her. She was wearing a gold sleeveless dress and her hair was curled to her shoulders. Raph had on a black tux with a red bow tie. Donnie drools at the sight of her and growls at Raph. He had never seen his girlfriend like this before…April stands near her father and Ann walks down next. She was wearing a pink dress with a white flower on the side of her waist. Her hair was in a French braid. She smiles, even though she hates pink. But she was doing this for a friend. She stands next to April and winks at Raph, who blushes. Jamie was next. She had the same dress as Ann, since she was a bridesmaid, but her hair was in a ballerina bun. She stands next to Ann and gives Leo a thumbs up. He smiles for the silent encouragement. Lily walks down, the same pink dress on, except she had her hair in a ponytail. Ashley is next, throwing red roses along the way. She was wearing a white dress, a cherry blossom in her long black hair that was straightened. Casey chuckles as Ashley skips down. Standing next to Lily, she stomps and everyone laughs as they stand up. Soon, the music is changed and Splinter walks out, Amy at his arm. Leo gasps at the sight of her.
She has on a long veil with floral details. It was transparent, so you could see her face. She had light pink lipstick, black mascara, and pink eyeshadow. Her dress was a tulle ball gown with a sweetheart neckline. She was holding a cherry blossom bouquet. White gloves covered her hands. Her hair flowed down to her feet, with curls at the end. As she walks slowly, she smiles sheepishly. Leo blushes deeply. Splinter lets go of her arm and the soon-to-be-married couple look at each other with a smile before turning to Mr. O'Neil. "Friends, family, we are gathered here today to join Amelia and Leonardo…"
(A/N: Blah, blah, blah. This is my first time writing a wedding fic. Let me know how I did!)
Mr. O'Neil stops talking and turns to the turtle and human. "Leonardo would like to say his vows first," he informs the crowd. Amy turns to him and he nervously pulls out a piece of paper.
"Amy, as I have always told you, you are the only exception. I have always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance and up until I met you, I had sworn to myself that I was content with loneliness, because none of it was ever worth the risk. From the moment I met you, I knew you were different, you were honest, sincere, loving, and most of all trustworthy. You were the anchor I needed when I needed it most. You helped me trust and gave me a reason to trust. You have walked with me through some of my darkest days and never left my side. You helped me to be the strong, independent turtle that I am," Leo says. Amy smiles a bit before he goes on.
"Amy, our miracle lies in the path we have chosen together. I enter this marriage with you knowing that the true power of love is not to avoid changes, but to navigate them successfully. Let us commit to the miracle of making each day work together. I commit to you my love, my devotion, and my loyalty. I vow to continue to work on myself for the good of our marriage. I vow to always see our problems through to the end and in doing so fighting for us. Because you, my darling, are the only exception," he finishes. If it wasn't for the fact she was wearing makeup, she would start crying. Everyone, including Mr. O'Neil, dabs their eyes a bit. "So sweet…" Mikey says. Everyone laughs again. Mr. O'Neil smiles and turns to Amy. "Please say your vows to Leonardo," he orders. Amy shakily takes out a piece of paper from her bouquet and starts reading.
"Leo, 3 years ago you captured my heart by being exactly who you are. The sweetest, most loving, compassionate, and sensitive turtle I have ever known. You have been my very best friend through the good and the bad. You have been the reason that I smile and you have given comfort beyond measure when I have cried," she begins as she remembers her mother. She takes a deep breath. If she were here today, she would have been proud of her…
"You have believed in me when no one else would, and you have shown me how to love with passion, purity, and unconditional acceptance. I'm not sure a lifetime is long enough to return all you have given me, but I promise the rest of my days I'll spend by your side. To laugh with you and to cry with you, to believe in you and support you. In poverty I promise to do everything to make our love rich, and in wealth to never let our love grow poor. Together we are better than we could ever hope to be alone, and today I give you my love, my trust, and my fidelity forever. You will ALWAYS be the best part of my day," she finishes. Everyone 'awws' and claps as Leo smiles at her. Since there was no one of the proper age to be the ring bearer, Mikey was given the honor of holding them. And like he promised, he hasn't dropped them. He stands in front of Amy and Leo.
"Amelia, will you take Leonardo as your husband, in happiness and with patience and understanding, through conflict and tranquility?" Mr. O'Neil asks. She beams. "I will," she answers and places a ring on Leo's finger. "Leonardo, will you take Amelia as your wife, in happiness and with patience and understanding, through conflict and tranquility?" Mr. O'Neil questions. "I will…forever and always," he answers. Amy blushes at the last part. He places a ring on Amy's finger.
"In the years which shall bring Amelia and Leonardo into greater age and wisdom, we hope that their love shall be ever young, that they shall be able to always recover from moments of despair. In this hope, may they keep the vows made on this day, in freedom, teaching each other who they are, what they shall yet be, enabling them to know that, in the fullness of being, they are more than themselves ad more than each other, that they are all of us, and that together we share joyously in the fruits of life on this earth, our home. In as much as Amelia and Leonardo have declared their love to each other before family and friends, I now greet them with you as husband and wife. You may kiss," Mr. O'Neil concludes. Leo smiles bigger as he uncovers Amy's veil. He pulls her to him into a sweet and passionate kiss. Everyone cheers and they pull away with a smile. The happy couple walk into the farmhouse, smiling like they never smiled before. Amy runs up the stairs and into April's bedroom. Leo raises an eyebrow and turns to the others. "What was that all about?" he asks. The girls smile. "Oh nothing…" they respond with a giggle. Leo was in for a special surprise… The crowd walks into the farmhouse and look around.
Every piece of furniture was gone, and replaced with things from Japan to fit the theme. Leo was impressed. His family knew how much he liked Japan's scenery. April walks halfway up the stairs. "Amy, you ready?" April asks. "Start the music, please! Is Leo in place?" she replies from inside April's room. Leo runs up to the top of the stairs. "Yes. Now what's all the fuss about?" he answers. Amy giggles in response. "You'll see," she simply says before opening the door. Leo gasps and his eyes widen. Amy was wearing a white kimono that had cherry blossoms all over it. She left her makeup on, and her hair was in a bun, held by two chopsticks. She smiles at his reaction. "Surprise!" she exclaims. Leo blinks. His heart had never beaten this fast before. "I'm definitely surprised," he replies. Amy snorts with a laugh.
"And now, the couple you've all been waiting for, Mr. and Mrs. Amelia Hamato!" Mr. O'Neil shouts from the living room. Leo grabs her arm and they walk down the stairs, everyone cheering. The couple sit down at a table, and they are immediately served some water. Leo smiles at his new wife as Mr. O'Neil clinks his glass. Everyone turns to him. "We are now going to start the toasts. The maid of honor would like to go first," he says. April walks up and takes the mic. She turns to Amy and Leo with a grin. "Hi everybody! I want to start off by thanking everyone for being here to celebrate Amy and Leo's special day. Amy, you look absolutely beautiful! And Leo, you don't look half bad yourself!" she explains. Everyone, including Leo, laughs. "I am very honored to be here standing by your side on the best day of your life. For those of you who don't know me, my name is April O'Neil. I am Amy's best friend and maid of honor. Amy has always been the little sister I always wanted. Meeting the turtles, there were 10 of us friends very close and Amy and I were the only girls, at first. We were around the longest, so of course we had to stick together. Even if we did fight like sisters half of the time over very important issues like who got the most pizza gyoza and who got to wear this or that," she says. Everyone laughs again as Amy recalls the time the two went to Murakami's and had a small fight. She smiles at how April remembers.
"Not only did we fight like sisters, but we most importantly loved like them. We've laughed, cried, laughed until we cried and know more about each other than we probably care to. We've been through some of the hardest times of our lives together and have been grateful to have each other through some of the best. I've had the opportunity to watch Amy mature, grow, and evolve into the beautiful woman that sits before us today and I am honored not only to call Amy my best friend, but to call her my sister. She is driven, intelligent, kind-hearted, and the most selfless woman you will ever meet. She puts forth thought, effort, and dedication into everything she does, and I know Amy will approach her new role as a wife the same exact way. You are one lucky turtle, Leo. Thank you for making Amy so incredibly happy. It is with great comfort knowing she has a turtle who's caring, loving, and supportive by her side," April explains. Leo flexes his muscles. Everyone chuckles as Amy rolls her eyes with a smirk.
"I'll leave you two with a little advice. Love isn't perfect. It isn't a fairytale or a storybook and it doesn't always come easy. Love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together, holding on and never letting go. I hope you can both look back on today as the moment you loved each other the least. I love you both so much," April comments. Amy and Leo smile at her. 'We love you, too,' they mouth to her happily. April raises her glass. "Let's all raise our glasses for Mr. and Mrs. Hamato. Cheers to new life, new love, and everything between. Congratulations!" she finishes as everyone cheers. Amy and Leo clap as she sits down. They were both very touched at what she said, Amy especially. Raph is called up, and he stands in front of the crowd. "Oh no…" Leo mutters. Amy elbows him in the arm. "Have a little faith in him, he's your best ma-turtle," she whispers. Raph turns to them. "First off, Leo you look like a dork," Raph says. Amy narrows her eyes as everyone chuckles. Leo sighs. "Raph…" he says sternly. Raph holds up his hands in surrender. "I was kidding…sort of," he replies and everyone laughs. Leo rolls his eyes. "Okay…I'm not good with speeches, so I had to ease my mood a bit. I'm gonna keep calm, and Mikey if you make fun of me I'll beat the green off you. So…it's always customary to say a few kind words about the happy couple. And most of you know that's not like me at all," Raph says. Some people murmur in agreement.
"But, I'm keeping my cool, just for you, Leo. Firstly, I'd just like to thank Leo and Amy for a lovely day so far and how much of a pleasure it has been being the best man. As Leo and Amy have already said, days like today take considerable planning and a great job has been achieve by all those involved, so well done," Raph explains. Leo and Amy didn't know what to say. Raph didn't usually thank people that much. But they could see the sincerity in his emerald green eyes. "I can remember back to the time when Leo and Amy started going out, or as Leo would probably say, when they started 'courting.' They met one night as my brothers and I were out exploring New York, and we were heading home when Leo saw the love of his life…Amy," Raph comments. Leo looks at him in surprise. "He didn't say it, but the way he was looking at Amy, he was thinking it. I've spoken to Amy about the night they met and she tells me the first time she set eyes on Leo, she thought that he looked very handsome from afar, now she just thinks he's far from handsome, but I'm sure he'll be fine," Raph says. Everyone laughs as Amy hides her face a bit. "You didn't have to say THAT part," she mutters. Leo chuckles at her.
"I can honestly say that when he met Amy, it was the best thing that has ever happened to Leo. I think, and I say this in a completely sincere way and not out of turn, it enabled him to realize that there's more to life than Space Heroes, training, being a party pooper…oh, looking at Amy, I'm not sure she agrees," Raph replies as Amy gives him a blank look. Everyone laughs. Raph clears his throat. "Seriously though, it was clearly obvious that he'd met that special someone in Amy, and he has shown that by marring his wonderful bride here today. It's already been said, but I'll say it again anyway, that Amy looks lovely in her kimono on her big day. As for Leo…he looks okay I suppose, although for the record it was him that wanted the Captain Ryan tie," Raph replies. Amy looks at her husband to see that he had changed his tie. Everyone laughs as Leo blushes in embarrassment. "It looked cool, okay?!" he exclaims. "I genuinely think that Amy and Leo are a perfect couple and suit each other right down to the ground, I'm confident that they will be extremely happy as they look to conquer married life together. Now I don't have any corny lines to sum their relationship up…but I do have a few words to say to Amy and Leo," Raph explains.
Amy and Leo look at each other. They were proud of Raph that he was keeping his cool for them. But they really didn't want to hear anything embarrassing things about themselves… "Relax, you two. You're lucky I'm being nice today. First for Amy. I didn't like you at first, but as soon as you and Leo started dating, I saw you as a good friend. I am glad that Leo has found the love of his life, and I am proud to call you my sister," Raph remarks. Amy smiles at him. "Second for Leo, or as I like to call him Fearless. So Fearless, and I'm sure every man or mutant in here will agree, just remember that no matter what you say or do, no matter what the situation is or what has happened, no matter what you think is right or what is wrong, whatever you do…Amy will always be right. Remember that and you'll go very far," Raph tells him. Everyone chuckles as Amy nods in approval. "So…that's pretty much it from me, all I have left to do is invite you all to raise your glasses; in a toast to the bride and groom. To Leo and Amy, wishing them well for the future, and hoping they enjoy a long and happy marriage," Raph concludes and he sits down, everyone clapping. Amy felt like crying. Raph had really never accepted the fact that his brother was dating a human, but she sees that she was wrong. She smiles at Raph. She was very touched that he had called her his sister, officially.
Donnie was called up next. "He better not babble about science again…" Leo mutters. Amy rolls her eyes. While she admired Donnie for his intelligence, sometimes he took it too far… "First, I want to start off by saying congratulations to Leo and Amy. I know that you both have been planning incessantly for the past few months to have this be everything that you both have been dreaming of, and everything is just beautiful! Although Leo's tie could have been a bit better," Donnie begins and everyone laughs. Leo gives an amused smirk. "I feel honored to be your brother, Amy, and will enjoy watching your marriage blossom in the years to come. When I heard you two were getting married, I have to say I couldn't have been more excited for the two of you. Everything I've seen and heard of the two of you seems right. You two seem to have found what we are all looking for in marriage: Your ideal person. Your soul. The one. You serve as an inspiration to everyone, because you have shown that dreams really do come true. And I hope one of mine is about to come true…April, can you stand up here for a second?" Donnie explains. Amy and Leo look at April in confusion. She shrugs and walks up to Donnie. "Yes…?" she asks, puzzled.
Donnie smiles and gets down on one knee. Everyone gasps, including April. "Will you marry me, April O'Neil?" he asks, pulling out an amethyst ring. "YES! Of course I'll marry you!" she exclaims. He slips the ring on her finger and everyone claps. Amy and Leo smile. "Aww," Amy whispers. Donnie stands in front of the crowd again. "She said yes! So, congratulations again! I hope you enjoy the rest of your celebration today as well as the rest of your lives together! And welcome to the Hamato family, Amy. Sorry for upstaging you, I thought this was the perfect time," Donnie finishes. Amy smiles. "Oh, you didn't upstage me. Now there's twice more love in the air. Congrats, you two!" she answers. To be honest, she wasn't used to all the attention...He leads April to a table. Everyone claps and smile at the now-engaged couple. Mikey smiles and runs up to the mic. Leo groans. Amy giggles as Mikey begins to speak. "I'm told that the best speech makers follow three simple rules. Stand up, speak up, then very quickly, shut up. I'll try to stick to that advice," Mikey begins. Everyone laughs at the youngest turtle. "Leo, I never thought our bromance could be upstaged, but I humbly bow to the lovely bride who captured your heart," Mikey explains, bowing to them. Leo smiles as Amy snickers. Everyone laughs again. "Amy, you always manage to make the best pizza, and for that, I love you already in a brotherly way," Mikey says. Everyone chuckles and Amy shakes her head in amusement. "Leo…I'm stoked you found the woman of your dreams. You two go together like pizza gyoza. And since I see that Amy made some, I'm gonna finish up right now. Amy, Leo, you two are the best. And Amy, welcome to the family! PIZZAAAAAA!" Mikey finishes, running over to the food table. Donnie and Raph chase after him.
Amy and Leo chuckle. Amy had made the whole buffet herself, with a little help from Mr. Murakami. And she had done a pretty good job, judging by Mikey's reaction. Not only did it save money, it also made everyone's mouths water. "Before we start eating, Leo and Amy should have their dance first," Mr. O'Neil replies. Leo smiles and takes Amy's hand. They walk up to the middle of the room and slow music starts to play. Leo grabs one of Amy's hands and places his hand on her waist. She places her other hand on his shoulder and they start to sway to the music. Leo glances at her and she smiles up at him. Leo could not be any happier. Today was starting to turn out wonderful. He now sees that he had nothing to worry about. He kisses his wife's forehead. "I love you," he murmurs. She places her head on his shoulder. "I love you too," she whispers with a grin. Then she remembered something. "And Leo?" she asks.
"Hmm?"
"Take that tie off."
Angel: I think this is my longest drabble…but it was worth it! *squeals* I'm doing the requests at random. And how I'm doing it is I put all the requests I haven't done yet into a custom-made wheel online! Next is…Halo by Beyonce, requested by Langel…that was one I wanted to avoid, because she made too many requests! What's done is done…bye!
